Good recent examples would be how blacks felt under represented at the Oscars, and how some women feel under represented or wrongly represented in games. What started me wondering about this was a comment I saw from someone about the Oscars thing who was Hispanic and stated something along the lines of "As a Mexican guy, yes please. I've always wanted to see someone like me play a hero, do an amazing job acting, and get recognized." and I can't help but wonder why. Why do you form a connection with someone who shares the same ethnicity or anything as you and want to see them succeed or have them in whatever medium you enjoy? Why does it have to be someone the same as you? Why can't a woman represent a man and vice versa? Why can't a black person represent a white person, or an asian person, or a hispanic and etc and so on?

The way I personally view it is that it shouldn't matter, right? I mean whether it is movies or video games it is fictional characters in a fictional universe (even if it is based off of a true story) why does it matter if you're being represented? Just because someone shares the same ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or anything else with you doesn't make them like you, so it is really as simple as people identifying themselves by those things and wanting to see someone that shares those things being successful or be in their medium of choice so they can feel like they can do the same things?]]>

We have one for TeamRocket on DFO, but I miss the good ole' days of SPIRC and it seems a lot of stuff is moving on over to Discord. However, SP seems to be withering away lately and that too makes me sad. If there's enough interest we should maybe look into creating an official server?

Apparently this exists already!!!!!!!!

I just got a call from my former boss. Apparently, one of the guys I worked with this summer is leaving the company and they are considering me to fill the position. I'd be a (very) Jr. Scientist working on radiation science, especially imaging. This is career track and they expect me to go on for Masters/PhD in grad school. This is the big league and my dream job with my dream company practically in my home town.

It's finals week but they want me to come in and interview (semi-formally) and tour the lab early next week!

This is it. This is what I've been working towards. This is what I've been dreaming of but wouldn't let myself think was possible. Screw all those engineering and test jobs I was applying for! This is what I want to do with my life.

Now I just need to nail the landing by graduating and looking awesome in the interview.

This is so god damn distracting from my finals prep.

To elaborate what I mean, I'm talking about reform of pedophile related laws. Pedophiles are treated like scum, often portrayed as monsters, and constantly reminded by society that they are unwanted and would be better off not existing in the first place. Our scientific study of pedophilia is surprisingly lacking due to the inability to even get funding for research because of how taboo of a topic it is. When most people think of pedophiles, they immediately think of criminals, and often have no sense of empathy towards them.

I'm an advocate for equality of many groups, and I can say from voicing my advocacy of pedophile rights that I've been constantly disrespected for and told I should go to jail or die for even defending pedophiles; as if just associating yourself positively with them revolting in itself. People don't even take the second to think that their reactions mirror those of their grandparents, who grew up in a time where transgendered children were "abominations" and gays were "papayagots who don't deserve to live." They grew up being fed misinformation, and often grew to hate a particular group simply because they were told to hate that particular group by everyone else. Many people who rise to a boiling rage at the thought of pedophiles don't stop to even think that these are actual human beings we're talking about here. Pedophiles are people, with urges that they cannot control, slaves to their biology just like anyone else. Not all pedophiles are sex offenders, and not all pedophiles wish harm on children, but they cannot help if they are sexually attracted to children the same way someone who is gay cannot help being attracted to the same sex. The issue is that there isn't even any way for them to get help for what they're going through, and they tend to live miserable lives with poor self esteem filled with guilt over something that isn't their faults.

I can definitely see something like this being an issue as we grow older. Perhaps a famous celebrity will come out and say they're sexually attracted to children and want help, which may start snowball into may other high profile figures coming out of the closet to prompt more social awareness for the issue. There'd be more research done, more education and proper information about it spread, and misconceptions cleared (for one thing, did you know that pedophiles are not the same as hebephiles? I bet most of you have never even heard of that term considering we just lump them both into the same category and disregard the differences. Hell, my browser dictionary is telling me it isn't even a real word.).The fact that someone's life can be ruined if it's discovered that they have a sexual attraction to children is an issue that I don't think anyone in our generation is ready to deal with, and they most likely won't be ready to deal with it when it if it does come up.

So what do you guys think are some hot button issues that we'd probably be against when we're old and bitter and unwilling to accept change? What envelope pushing controversies are you too afraid to fight for right now because of majority opposition of our generation?]]>
