Sculptures by the Selective

Sculptures by the Selective

An Australian event held on beaches, including Cottesloe, WA, where disabled people are only allowed access two days out of fourteen.

Ensuring that the beach matting is only laid out on those days prevents 'visual disruption', according to the organisers, and has other tangible benefits including minimal environmental disruption because it is only open to cripples on weekdays.

Next year the organisation plans to further develop their commitment to exclusivity by targeting and discriminating against other minority groups who may be visually disruptive due to their skin colour, flamboyance or utterly unacceptable forms of clothing that may reflect a person's culture.

In 2019, Sculptures will introduce the 'Sculptures ban the Sarong' campaign so that beachgoers and artists will be less distracted by potentially visually disruptive beachwear.
'Sculptures by the Selective will maintain our commitment to exclusivity by only providing access to white cishet men with suits and post-nominals.'

'We hold our commitment to ableism close to our hearts. In a perfect world, someone would make sure marginalised populations were excluded even more, but we've only been able to manage twelve days.'

Selective Equality

When people want equality in situations where they've historically been disadvantaged, but want tradition in situations where they've historically been advantaged.
Wanting equal pay but expecting the guy to always pay is selective equality.

selective cheering

When you don't like one or more players on your favourite sports team and cheer for everyone but them.
Even though I'm a diehard Flames fan, I've been doing some selective cheering since we got Stajan.

selective e-mail

Similar to selective hearing, but when a colleague (usually a Manager) only chooses to respond to e-mails which suit their needs.

Typically, this is because they don't know *how* to respond, as a result of being incompetent.
They do this regardless of the impact their lack of reply has on their staff/colleagues.

Ultimately, they will not be held responsible for their lack of response and the blame will fall on the person who was awaiting their response!
Ben: "Corey, did you get my e-mail last Monday?"
Corey: "Yeah, mate."
Ben: "..... Can you let me know how to move forward on that? I need your guidance."
Corey: "Sure! I'll reply to you when I'm at my desk."
Matt: "Corey won't reply to your e-mail. He has selective e-mail, remember?"
Ben: "Shit."

Natural selection

The act of doing something really stupid, and facing severe consequences because of it such as injury or worse.
Person 1: Dude, have you heard about Tom??? He broke his leg after he tried to use a skateboard on a a trampoline!

Person 2: Pfft, that's just natural selection to be honest.

Selective Input

Most commonly used in digital parties such as Discord, Xbox, PS4. Selective input occurs when a person chooses only to speak when they feel comfortable, usually within a Safe Space. It is used by cowards, and people who cannot generate a unique comeback. A user of selective input is most often also a lurker.
Josh was just roasted and did not respond choosing to use selective input.

Selective Input in use

Josh:

Gavin: Patrick how did you die you absolute bot.
Josh: ... Patrick is addicted to Fortnite and has anger issues.

Patrick: No I’m not!
(An argument between Patrick and Gavin ensues)
