.... Yeahhh...... Okay, that's fair. Mini me and fatjokes and racism.......... And ageism.... Yeah It's not good.
Love guru though, I wiped that pos from my memory. So, my humblest appogies on that mistake.
And don't get me wrong, now thinking back to when I last watched the austin powers movies, I remember thinking "these still actually hold up at all, but won't last a ton longer".
Damn.
My memory even of like three years ago had me only remembering the good parts.
What about Ace Ventura? Surel- fuck. I mean. There's gotta be an amount of space for accepting some parts of movies that would otherwise not hold up, right? Like, I'm sure these people have come with us in society and learned better as society has....right? 🥹
I would expect most of Mike Meyers's work to do well because his jokes were always wordplay and fart humor, rather than racism and coping with being a cishet white guy.
Do you mean no one talks like this in your industry or company? You could always be a vanguard and set the tone. Also you don't have to say exactly that, word for word. My point is to just level with them, admit you don't really know, and then to listen and try to understand their story a bit. Even the notion in dude-speak or whatever will be heard loud and clear and you'll make their day, and everybody will be happier for it.
Edited. My intent is not to be a jackass, but to point out that SO many people use any excuse to not just bridge the gap and try to understand other people.
To be perfectly clear, though, I've been explaining this to people for years, and I'm absolutely sick and tired of the same old excuses and pushback. So I apologize if some of that unfairly came out here to people who are new to this and may be undeserving of that specific criticism.
It's not condescension. That's quite literally the point. So many people just refuse to be or have never learned to be humble. This is literally a great cooperative and constructive stance to take. You don't have to be tough, you aren't showing off to anybody - you're asking somebody for help understanding them. If that's really a problem, then you need to reassess how you navigate the world with others and why. If you genuinely do this for some trans kid, they'll love you and be more than willing to help you understand because basically nobody ever cares about them or their experiences. You'd make their year (shit. If you do this for anybody and you'll make them happy). But don't do it just to do it, actually embody this humility. It'll be weird at first, but you might even make a friend.
If your first reaction is to be offended by advice, maybe you shouldn't be in leadership.
"I'm not sure I understand, but am willing to have an open mind and listen and understand where you're coming from. If you'll have patience to explain to me, I'd be willing to learn with humility and humanity and do my best to be a better person"
Admit ignorance, commit to being a good person. It's not that hard.
sigh...... Yeaahhhhh.....
