You would think the Indians would have Thanksgiving shut down for being a racist holiday, yet they show up at the parade held on land that was taken from them and they don't have the city/county shut the parade down because it traumatizes them to watch it. The country has a fucked up history, but once you start to allow any attempt to shed light on history by talking about all sides of it, (that includes the Confederate side, and the side of the original slaveowners, the founding fathers like George Washington and James Madison) you end up trying to keep people in the dark about it by having everything cancelled that doesn't agree with what you think history should have been like, in a past where everything and everyone was wonderful and decent, and history was never like that because people are human and not inherently good (or bad). People are people, they always have been fucked up.
People nowadays think that somebody owes it to them to cancel everything they don't like, even if somebody else might learn something from it. It's one thing if you want to cover your own kids eyes and ears everywhere they go, it's another thing to tell everybody ese they have to do the same things the same way you do.

Something that actually costs somebody something, whether it be money, or something they love or hold sacred.
Roberta Ford always made herself look put upon (even sub serviant to others) , but what she said was done at her expense, never really costed her anything, she always escaped from having any real expense to herself in life.

First her mother heard the hitting, then the crying, then the screaming to her mother for help and running to her, then telling their father to kick his ass for that.
The girl thought the world should be one giant intervention stage for temper tantrum policing, just like at home when she was a kid, even if it meant the police shooting some mentally ill guy, as long as she felt safe, nobody else mattered but her, just like her mother taught her.

A fixation on something, be it winning, or tarot cards/fortune telling, or spirituality/mythology/religion.
She was the female Jim Jones (a seemingly outgoing, charismatic, even fun/exciting person to some despite her true introverted nature) , she liked dead things and Jesus, at least she talked about those subjects frequently enough that people would think she did. It was most likely a means to an end, a way to manipulate the masses (the same reason she really liked winning at any kind of game from electronic to sports to board games, it made her feel powerful and where sports was concerned, there were dollar signs in it. She wasn't telling anyone none of this stuff was actually sacred to her, in case some questioned her she could fall back on looking sane and normal, just a bit of an eccentric with an obsession or two that most people didn't notice.

The kind of female that cares more about whether tits are impressive to guys or not than guys do. If she thought that guys were that horrible, why didn't she just marry females and badmouth them all day with her wife(ves).
Joan Rivers didn't seem to like guys too much by some of what she said about them, unless there was some insecurity that she didn't want anybody to know about. Yet she would be the kind of person that said something like who cares all the time.

One thing a young cop that really does want to improve relations betweens police officers and civilians has working against him is that there is no one more full of shit than a cop, except a cop on TV. An idealistic guy in his early 20's might not see that yet, even if other people do. It's not the kind of thing they would teach you at an academy, even if it might save a life on either side of the law for both sides of the law to know it.

The dork would always start moving the goalposts whenever she started to get eaten alive at the game she created.
