diloolie: mohandasgandhi: Google Search Equates “Gayest” With “Worst” The use of “gay” as a pejorative is nothing new, but it’s still somewhat surprising when a search for the “gayest trends” on Google yields the “worst trends.” And it’s not simply a matter of websites conflating “gayest” and “worst” on the pages Google brings up: the word “worst” is bolded on Google, highlighting it as a match for the word “gayest.” This phenomenon has been recognized in the past, but with little response. A current Change.org petition has, at press time, 18 signatures. There have also been a couple complaints made on Google’s product forums, one in 2012 and one in 2011. A Google spokesperson issue[d] the following response— Google’s results, including when a search term is synonymized with another, are a reflection of content on the web and how people search. These results are determined by algorithms and we don’t manually correct this process, but we are always looking at how we can improve our algorithms. Not cool. you guys can sign this, it hasn’t even got 100 signatures yet!!

Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone fat.

When Strangers Click, a 2011 documentary about online dating.

It reminds me of that famous Margaret Atwood quote: “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” It also reminds me of something written by one of the mods of Sex Worker Problems: “Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”

I mean, it’s just true.

“Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”

That’s it.  That’s it right there.

I think I just made a connection with my always trying to find a way to find something logical and true in things people say so that I can agree with them.

That might not just be a personality quirk I have. That may be an anti-skill where I am too agreeable.

Filed under the part where i take confident assertions and displays of rage to mean authority to mean rightness is probably also related to anti-skills i think the only way i dodged being abused more heavily in childhood is by having the things they wanted to abuse into me take so easily abuse
