OPPRESSION TEST: Can you drive to McDonalds not in hijab and get biggest Big Mac value meal? If yes: Not oppressed
32 comments
You can get it wearing a cowboy hat, a derby, a doo-rag, a yarmulke,
etc., or none of the above.
Why not in hijab?
Every day do people tell you that you're not wanted, that you're a blight, that you should leave the country, that you should be put up against a wall and shot?
Will the police get away with deciding you are scum and simply not investigate when your home is vandalized, death threats are sent to you, and you are even assaulted in the streets?
Will people watch you through binoculars day and night, refuse to let you work, refuse to let you travel, accuse you of every manner of conspiracy and put the onus on you to prove you are not a very very very very deep cover agent plotting against them or planning to pass a plan down to your children or their children or their children's children's children's children who should never be allowed near another child unsupervised because they are literally born to wage war with everyone they have ever known?
You are? Well doesn't matter because you can still get a burger... assuming the person at the till doesn't tell you you're a terrorist and throw bacon strips at you while onlookers laugh. Or do pretty much all of the above because you're gay.
Woah! Now I feel guilty about watching his videos. Jontron what happened to you?
I hate it when popular YouTubers, atheist bloggers, nerd reviewers I like turn around and become giant douches. Makes me feel dirty.

To be fair, depending on the specific guy in question they asometimes make sense, case in point: Armoured talking about the canadian gov quotas and hell, even his takes on modern feminists I will sometimes agree with(as a meritocrat). I`m not saying OP makes any sense(and by the way eating a burger in a hijab, or any elaborate headwear for that matter I would not advise on the "sauce and pickles in your dress" grounds rather than religious ones), just that not all of these guys who sometimes will go after what many on the left specturm see as a bit of a holy cow are automaticaly wrong and bigoted.
@Skide
You're absolutely right and just because I may not agree doesn't mean I can't learn something from what they have to say, being a progressive myself.
I feel that fatigue when a YouTuber or nerd blogger suddenly seems to start attacking anything considered left or PC without being open to reason. For the lulz I guess. Amoured is still all around a decent guy. And admittedly, that flip does seem to happen more in the nerd community than the atheist one.
TL;DR You're right and I'm tired of nerds trying to be edgelords.
Also, as someone with a pashmina scarf addiction, you don't need anything loose and flowing when confronted with a hamburger. That will make a mess.
@Liz_7
Absolutely, little ticks me off as when a guy who`s banking his internet presence on discussions suddenly gets all nasty when it`s his personal hiccups, that are being touched, specially since a lot of them try to pass themselves as people without ones.
ps. Why as a burger enthusiast I will always praise the humble hoodie and a shirt to an eat-out. Then again our eat-outs are just what they are, not a thinly veiled attempts for a cultural gathering but feasts with the emphasis on enjoying the food. Decades of being raised in a higher dining culture and the only thnig I crave in the end is to munch on a big, fat custom made halfpounder drippin with naga jolokia sauce(used to hate myself for being born on the boring and bland side of the pond, having the hottest food here being czuszka peppers just doesn`t cut it for me)...
Edit: Naga Jolokia is the second hottest pepper species on the face of this sphere and it is truly delicious. :) Czuszkas are small, red and native to Hungary-Czechia region.
Alternative:
OPPRESSION TEST: Can you drive to Planned Parenthood in Daisy Dukes, a tank top and cowboy boots and get an abortion? If yes: Not oppressed
How does that sound, Jontron?
@ Skide
I admittedly have no idea what kind sauce or peppers those are. But as someone who loves spicy food I can appreciate that enthusiasm and will try them if I ever find them. Because you made me hungry.
But now we are decidedly off topic so here's hoping your day is filled with delicious burgers and clean hoodies.
Jontron on FSTDT. I'm not even mad, I'm just saddened. OH HEY, REMEMBER THIS CHEERFUL LOVELY GUY FROM YOUTUBE? HE'S COMPLETELY OUT-OF-TOUCH WITH SOCIAL ISSUES.'
EDIT: I actually looked at the replies to the quoted tweet. Words fail me.
Ever since Gamergate I've become increasingly depressed. And increasingly left, as if each entertainment personality who went full retard fed some kind of leftist creature that pulled me along with good reason. Thunderf00t, Armoured Skeptic, Alex Spastic, and here is Jontron, a dude I thought was apolitical. He seemed so nice. I can't wait until he puts out his conspiracy theory about how video games are a plot to make women less domestic slave-y.
What a horrid way to start the day.
not exactly sure what was being said here and from political jokes at the expense of Trump he did on his show before, I would think Jontron is the exact opposite of what people here and on Twitter are thinking, maybe it was just a mistake in judgement.
he also made a joke with the underlying message that sexism is bad.
and I did read a bit of the tweet chain.
@creativerealms
Unfortunately his "problems" amount to "You're not oppressed even in the slightest, black/brown women are too pushy, and you're inherently sexist for joining a movement that supports women."
And... no, seriously, he's gone off the deep end this time. This was part of a much larger twitter rant. Then again, when it comes to Twitter, he's always been off the deep end... seriously, take a look through it sometimes, it's pretty awful.
I'd seen image macros/reaction .GIFs of this Jon 'Jontron' Jafari or whatever on 4chan/other boards the last few years; also others insisting that I watch this "Game Grumps" or whatever. They claimed 'Oh, it's the best thing on YouTube EVAR!!1ONE1'.
But my 'Media Snob' sense was tingling. Thus I never have.
I reserve my regular YT viewing for Techmoan, EEVBlog and Ashens.
There's an extremely good reason why the likes of Mat, Dave 'Mad Aussie Sparky' Jones & Dr. Stuart Ashen have never been quoted on FSTDT, Jontwerp. The latter having a Ph.D in Psychology should tell you something.
And with my Media Snobbery ensuring that the only way 'Reality TV' will ever justify itself to me is by it becoming Actuality TV such as "Road Wars", "Wheeler Dealers", "Salvage Hunters" & "Combat Dealers" (just watched the latest new edition on 'Quest' channel), and the physical jerks that is WWE will ever be watched by me is when it becomes an actual competition (PROTIP: the 'World's Strongest Man' competitions), I'm glad I've never watched this particular 'thing' on YT.
You should watch messrs. Jones & Ashen, Jon. You'll learn something.
@creativerealms
It's twitter it's easy to come off as a twit
I refer you to Danielle Butchered . Q. E. and D.
No. I'm black. I may be shot by a cop thinking I was some other black person, wanted for a crime.
You're not helping Muslims by doing this, and they don't eat pork products, so I think MCD's is out of the question. Your argument is invalid.
**EDIT** I just read the context. He's actually NOT trying to help. He's an edgelord. My bad.
In that case, piss off. Your Youtube channel was shit anyway, and this makes me glad I never followed it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
