Good example of someone who wasn’t paying attention to an issue until it affected them

I love the idea of Objects that can do things we can't explain.
The Lost Room is probably what got me started, and Control really scratches that itch. I absolutely love the idea of The Oldest House.
not a vibrator, it's a "personal massager" and how dare you suggest such a device could be used sexually!
It's Sony, a Japanese company.
Why would they care about what people in private
Lol. Lmao, even.
Sony cares a bit too much about how people use the things they own that Sony made.
Japan is famous for its laws and customs regarding nudity, sex, porn, accessories, etc... Anything you might expect a stereotypical prude to clutch their pearls over, really. It's simply gasp too obscene!
Rude is the coworker who thinks their shirts meant to antagonize anyone left of the US version of "center" are hilarious, rude are the coworkers who talk shit about trans people on break, rude are those who spend every conversation saying "mentally ill people should be locked up and oh by the way trans people are mentally ill", rude are the ones who make the LGBTQ employees scared that one day they'll just come to work and find a parking lot full of people waiting to jump them because the government said it's legal.
I consider myself quite polite when these things happen in my workplace and I'm not slashing tires or torching cars, and instead all I do is say "hey that's not okay and here's why..."
Doesn't stop HR from coming and telling me I need to be respectful of my coworkers opinions. (HR guy is a democrat, but like... One of those "if you're being oppressed please resist quietly and peacefully within the confines of the oppressive laws made specifically to target you" kind of liberals)
Remember kids: the standard you walk past is the standard you accept.
It doesn't, they're conflating a country that was squeezed into existence in the 1940s with a religion and/or ethnic group.
Which is exactly what the shit bag politicians who are genociding Palestinians WANT people to do, as any criticism can be waved away by calling it "antisemitism"
Only in open mockery.
"please be oppressed peacefully"
I was gonna ask "which kind" but it's definitely both.
Men will LITERALLY construct an entire persona based around their phobias as a result of trauma over witnessing the murder of their parents during a mugging orchestrated by crime bosses and spend millions of dollars on toys and gadgets to act out revenge fantasies and calling it vigilante justice rather than go to therapy.
If there's two things I cannot fucking stand, it's people who are intolerant of other's cultures... And the Dutch.
