Someone posted it in on Hubski. I couldn't finish it, to be honest.
Yeah, I don't think I saw it here. I didn't like it. I didn't think the author did a good job with their argument. I was really confused as to why Batman/Bruce Wayne was somehow, arbitrarily a douchebag. Like the author was very good at saying "So-and-so! They're a douchebag!" The author was not good at saying why. And also he called John Wayne a douchebag and kind of lost me there. And also he said Cyclops is a douchebag when really all Cyclops ever did was love Jean Grey and not get along with Wolvervine, he was actually generally kind of a better person than Wolverine?
Best "douchebag" quote I ever heard? douchebag - someone you don't like douchebag in Hollywood - someone more successful than you There's a fair amount of "sour grapes" to it, and I think the fact that it's a sobriquet leveled at white men has more to do with the fact that we have so many other slanders to level at other races and genders. Women will be called gender-specific things. Other races are likely to get something other than "douchebag" first. His comment on the lack of white-people slander is linguistically deaf. Ethnic slurs are used to delineate "other" and when you're a white male, that ain't you. Read a book about China once, for example, that pointed out that the word for "japanese" basically means "foreign devil" and if you want to talk about any other race of foreigner, you have to say the equivalent of "foreign devil, other than Japanese."
