    Was this the one where she cooked for her (male) neighbors and everyone started calling her a bad woman because she wanted to cook for a man

      Wait that was it? I thought it was because the neighbors didn't consent to chili lol.

        Oh and then it was ableist? I saw that one too. I think they might have coincided but I haven't been keeping up with this ridiculous discourse

          yes, it's all the same thing, it's been going for a few days now.

          She set back feminism by a hundred years when she decided to make chili for some boys
          She violated their consent by offering it
          She was ableist for not considering that they could cook their own chili if they wanted to, and also for not asking them for any food allergies before making it

          I'm pretty sure there were more lines of argument, but those are the ones I laughed the hardest at

          Oh and as a bonus, one of the people complaining the loudest about how giving chili to your neighbors is incompatible with leftism turned out to be a landlord :michael-laugh:

            I hate to struggle but I do think you probably should ask if someone has dietary restrictions before you make food for them. I don't think it makes you a bad person or anything if you do it though, just kind of a dumbass.

              in principle, in general? Yea, sure, of course it is sensible to ask. But to call it ableism seems wholly disingenuous to me.

              Also, just because you asked, doesn't mean you can actually accommodate it, unless your kitchen is already stocked with that restriction in mind. Gluten, to take a common restriction, is hiding in all sorts of things, even spices as a separator and milk products as a stabilizer - you're not gonna cook gluten free for a day one time, unless you plan for it when shopping or you do it every time anyway. Or it's a very simple meal, I guess.

                Yeah I agree with that, but if you can't accommodate it you probably shouldn't make anything for them, and it's better to know ahead of time regardless.

                  Or you just make a chili like you always make your chili with the things you have and offer to share it with whoever can have it too - and if, unlikely as it may be, nobody can eat your chili, or wants your chili, you can still just eat it yourself.

                  I don't get the drive to over-complicate the whole thing, in an effort to do what? Sure, there's a minimal risk involved that the neighbors won't want your chili for whatever reason, but that's just life and it's not like chili goes bad in an hour. You could even freeze leftovers

                    IMO you bring food to your neighbors because you appreciate them, bringing something they can't eat defeats the purpose

            Gets worse:

            • She claims to be poly and then when she noticed a same-sex couple moved in, she started salivating about the idea of fucking them.

            • She claimed that putting carrots in chili is racist.

            I...is she a fed? Or is this some elaborate troll that's trying to satirize leftists?

              :agony-shivering: I don't even know anymore, fuck

              I didn't even follow this whole shitshow, but that twitter main character syndrome permeates the whole site, it's intense
