The Bus Problem

More interesting than the Trolley problem because A. I'm a genius and B. You have an actual stake in the outcome

Hym "Here is 'The Bus Problem.' (and I think this is analogous to our current political climate) You and 5 other people are on a bus. The driver is headed towards a cliff. You are moving too fast to reasonably attempt to wrestle the wheel from the driver (as any resistance would likely result in you crashing the bus and killing everyone including yourself) You possess a gun and your attempts to reason with the driver have fallen on deaf ears. At what point are you (reasonably) justified in killing the driver to gain control of the bus? How close to the edge to you have to allow him to get before killing him is justifiable? And how much time to you try to spend reasoning with him after the threat of violence fails?"

First World Problems

Problems almost unique to or prevalent in the first world, which actually refers to the US. These problems include:
- medical debt
- extreme poverty
- identity theft
- credit card fraud
- fake news
- queueing forever in cars for “fast food” and coffee
- conspiracy theories
- gun violence
- normalised bigotry and misogyny

It took forever to get my gronday lartay with that line of cars … dang first world problems!

Sounds like a you problem

A normal quote that elise does not own

“Sounds like a you problem”
“That’s my quote”
“You didn’t make it💀”

difference between attacking people and problems

in our modern soc-med world, a very important moral quality that you absolutely cannot, and will never be able to, buy at the local Walmart.

the main reason the 2016 campaign rhetoric was so vitriolic and insidious was that both presidential nominees didn't know, or didn't bother to learn, the difference between attacking people and problems.

White People Problems

A general term used to describe the piss poor priorities of upper/middle class citizens in developed countries, as they complain more about ridiculous over exaggerated bullshit (like marriage, where to eat, how to eat, getting their clothes messy) than actually trying to solve any of the real issues in the world like debt, starvation, corrupt governments, equality, diseases, poverty, etc.

Examples of White People Problems vs actual issues:
Average American Citizen:
"OMFG I Got grass stains on my white shoes! These are unwearable! I can't walk out in public like this!"

(He then throws the shoes away)
Homeless person who does not have shoes :"What the fuck are you bitching about"

White people issues in the royal family:
Prince: "Bloody mary, I need to find a woman, if I do not then the entire government will fall" (he then finds one and broadcasts the shit to the media)
Refugee Who escaped from a corrupt middle-eastern regime: "What the fuck are you bitching about?"

Another example is the Trump campaign.

problematic

a word used by antis and gatekeepers in fandom in relation to characters or pairings/ships that they personally do not like. often used as an excuse to attack and gaslight shippers and fans who do like the character/ship.

sometimes the excuse for calling a fictional thing "problematic" is that it's abusive, incestuous, or has a large age gap. or one of them is a villain. or two characters are enemies (or they used to be). or or none of these at all. the excuses are numerous, and many of them unfounded assertions.

Anti: "You shouldn't ship Reylo, it's problematic because Kylo Ren is a fascist and Rey is child-coded and they are cousins."
Shipper: "Uh...what?"
