"Remember, we usually give away our values in the process of attacking others. " ~ VDThis is why you can never reach a reasonable accommodation with Rabbit People. It is why you should never even try. Your very existence offends them. The only way to stop offending them is to become one of them; even if you abide by their myriad rules and regulations, they will continue to eye you askance, always suspicious that you may, at any moment, reveal yourself to be "not-rabbit".
“Today I will offend racist sexist homophobic dipshits simply by EXISTING" ~ John Scalzi
It's the mere existence of different people that is offensive to the rabbits that's how they rationalize that you must "hate" anyone who is different from you.
At which point, they will attack mercilessly and mindlessly en masse. Many a good little rabbit has been destroyed by his fellows in this manner; one of the more amusing things to watch is the frantic squeals of a rabbit who has somehow inadvertently offended the warren, desperately insisting that it is all a mistake and he is truly one of them even as they are tearing him to bits.

Tis true. I once witnessed a hapless rabbit get roughed around by his peers for using the term "crazy" to describe their opponents. Didn't he know that was an "ableist slur?!"
Isn't there a rabbit war being waged right now between the new atheists about feminism and male creepers?
Example:

The writer of the piece groveled at the master of the warren's feet in the comment section.
http://whatever.scalzi.com/?s=tony+harris
Tony Harris doesn't look like(from outward appearances) the type who would grovel to the master, but I could be wrong.
Now I don't agree with either piece, because I'm a dude and I like to see chicks in skin tight clothing, but I feel the scene from Full Metal Jacket is most apt in explaining my feelings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhLDyolExAo
That geek article was a spectacular trainwreck. Is that how Scalzi squashes an attempt at an AMOG?
rabbitology
LOL
would you consider Hugo Shyster a rabbit who was eaten by his own longeared kind?
I thought Hugo had been welcomed back into the Warren after he cut his balls off
i still have no clue what rabbit people are.

"Oh, you are right, so sorry. I meant to call them fucking retards!"
Dammit, Bogey. I so wanted to post that video on that post, but the comments were closed over 6 months ago.
Fuck John "Pie Belly" Scalzi. I wish the liberal pie eating fuck would move out of my county in Ohio and take his pussy cats with him.
Vox, he won't confront you man to man. Progressive pie eating fucks never take care of their problems head on.

The most frightening thing is some will really want to go the other way...
All the rabbit in us is to disappear—the worried, conscientious, ethical rabbit as well as the cowardly and sensual rabbit. We shall bleed and squeal as the handfuls of fur come out; and then, surprisingly, we shall find underneath it all a thing we have never yet imagined: a real Man, an ageless god, a son of God, strong, radiant, wise, beautiful, and drenched in joy.
But to go the other way, all the man in us, we have to cease being Men, become shortlived rodents, weak, dark, foolish, ugly, and drenched in fear.
That is the price of admittance to the warren.
Another commenter noted Scalzi won't go man-to-man. He cannot. There is only one man in the conflict.
One can pray as miracles can happen.
And to make a slight change to a humorous sign:
Never try to teach a rabbit to sing. It won't work and annoys the rabbit.
And Josh is particularly perceptive about the feminists v.s. the New Atheists. "When Warrens Collide". (the worst thing is I don't have a way to express what my imagination is doing with that - especially since reality is so bad that parody would detract).
>"Many a good little rabbit has been destroyed by his fellows in this manner"
One of the first times I saw this clearly online was when Luke (the commonsenseatheism guy) got into trouble over sexism when he put up some pictures of female scientists (I forget the details) and the commenters got very upset. It was very interesting watching Luke be very puzzled at the complete absence of argument, the total tidalwave of group-ejecting rethoric. I suspect this was one of the key moments in why that site is now dead.

It was Pinocchio where anyone could be a donkey. But what was recognized that one became a donkey by indolence, which was a vice, not a virtue.
Bogey's pointer to the article "Who gets to be a geek...", echoed by Josh, is truly worth a read.
My thought at the antecedent article (they picked the photos carefully) was more "Lipstick on a Pig". There are smart and beautiful women, but there are even more air-heads. Even worse are the number of those whose presence would have me call 911 to report that something escaped from the Zoo. Have you counted your Hippopotami recently?
At least some women have a clue - unlike Scalzi. The skimpy outfits are what matters, not that they are sci-fi or fantasy themed.
If they were playing Joan of Arc (please, wear the full helmet with visor down out of mercy to onlookers), they would get no more notice than a tin-man from OZ imitator.
Women who can use their intelligence rapidly discover that men are visual. So they give the customer what he wants. If they happen to be a comic-con, they have a portable staff replacing the pole. They imitate Rapunzel. And do the parallel for other contexts - car shows, engineering shows (I once worked with a female engineer who had to keep telling people she was not a "bimbo" in the trade show booths).
The most interesting thing is that such women know what they are doing, unlike Scalzi.
The most hilarious version of this was when CL at The Warfare is Mental completely self-immolated for no reason nuking his own site for months in the process. His internal drama was so intense, it was like watching a pregnant rabbit's fetuses catch fire.
Oh man, that sexy scientists post is simply awesome.
Is outage and victimness the coin of the realm for rabbits? Because most of these rabbit wars seem to be about one group battling for Most Outraged or Victimized status. Like women vs blacks vs gays vs latinos vs etc in the democratic party.
"It was very interesting watching Luke be very puzzled at the complete absence of argument, the total tidalwave of group-ejecting rethoric."
Having scanned through his response, even when trying to be even-handed, it came off supplicating in certain parts. And that's all the opening the r-Type discourse audience he'd built up over there needed. When you run with rabbits...
And although the situation is different - Luke seems to have handled himself with a spine that was a bit more upright than John's - maybe this is a preview into why Scalzi can't afford to admit defeat: His own warren, like any good progressive commune, will smell blood at the first instance that he is not, in fact, a proper or correct pod person. He probably has nightmares at the thought of the majority of his own audience pointing and shrieking at him as they attempt to do to Vox.
"His internal drama was so intense, it was like watching a pregnant rabbit's fetuses catch fire."
Okay. Full stop.
That is the most awesome sentence I've read in a really long time.

Rabbit People. Heh. But caring about them is as bad as arguing with them.
"If there were no laughter, there would be no Tao."
Burning rabbit fetuses aside, the "rabbit people" course you're currently taking us through, Vox, is particularly interesting to me.
I used to attempt to appease others because I thought it was the "Christian" thing to do. As a teenager I'd make a statement or observation I knew was right, then come under attack. Though I usually didn't renounce my statement, I would try to soften it or defend myself against the predictable silencing insults, etc. I quit doing that at some point and realized that my social standing didn't decrease. In fact, I'm significantly more outrageous in my statements than in the past - and I have considerably more influence in my circles. Simply spitting it and defending it without backing down has given me a platform I lacked when attempting to appease and soothe. Your rabbitology observations have gelled my thinking quite a bit. It's making sense now.
"Gamma Rabbit" avatar. It looks like pedobear.
Notable that 'dipshit' is a nasty homophobic slur. It's like calling somebody a sexist pussy, or a racist cracker.
At which point, they will attack mercilessly and mindlessly en masse.
...a situation they have to avoid like the pest.
e.g. That's why they feel the need to apologize for saying 'Amen' in a post.
It really puts a lot of pressure on any rabbit, because they have to weight every single word they say. They have to ponder how it could be interpreted by anyone reading it. That's why they usually need alot of words, 80% of it re-valuing what they said in the other 20%. Meta talk.
All the lost energy...
Progressive pie eating fucks never take care of their problems head on.
This is very true. It makes me wonder what liberals are smoking when they think their ideology is somehow not only as capable, but superior in being able to deal with the Putins, Ahmadinejads, Al Assads, Mugabes, Maos, Hitlers, & Stalins of the world.
I guess passive aggressive drone strike campaigns are the "new masculinity" for them, much like getting fucked in the butt by their square jawed she-men.
"Your very existence offends them."
So true.
Even though I'm a libertarian and don't want to use the force of government to do anything to homosexuals, I'm still a horrible person because I don't love and adore homosexuality.
No truer sign of submission than accepting the label. You've made him say "uncle"! I think you can stop wasting your time on this. There are far more important things to think about.
"Fuck John "Pie Belly" Scalzi. I wish the liberal pie eating.."
Hey now, I object to your negative aspersions towards Pie...
Even though I'm a libertarian and don't want to use the force of government to do anything to homosexuals, I'm still a horrible person because I don't love and adore homosexuality.
Richie, to those people you're a horrible person because you're a libertarian. Just ask them.
"i still have no clue what rabbit people are."
Koanic started talking about r/K selection a long time ago. Rabbits are analogous to "r's". Not exactly the same, but close enough. Vox explains himself here.
