Credit where its due, this is funny.
“How can it be bimodel if there’s only two modes? checkmate librul.”
Conservatives will either choose to argue using some overly pedantic technicality or a vague “common sense” oversimplification depending on whichever will paint their position more favorably.
Conservatives really believe we think there is some discreet integer number of genders 😂 When your ability to estimate your opponents is destroyed by your own low-effort “gotcha” clapbacks. Talk about getting high on your own supply.
some people just want to stay stupid it seems
Any way someone could make this post more educational?
I read it as a “flawed illustration”. I’m sure there’s things left out of the allegory but idk what would be dunkable, I’m guessing there’s something I don’t know.
I think this tweet explains the concept pretty intuitively.
To make it more explicit, you could record a GIF placing the two gradients: pure red () & pure green ().
Tell them that red is “man”, green is “woman”, & blue is “attack helicopter” or “dog”, then demonstrate the huge “number” of values between red & green by color-picking random spots on the canvas. Challenge them to find a spot on the canvas has even a smidgen of blue.
Explain the perception of a gender binary by saying most colors are approximately red or approximately green, yet there is still a spectrum of in-between values impossible to succinctly enumerate.
If they genuinely have further questions, it’ll be a good opportunity to teach. If not, they’re probably deliberately trying to misunderstand.
at a minimum there’s green, yellow, orange and red here
