Girl Guides of Canada changing the name "Brownies" (ages 7-8) because they "heard from racialized girls that this name has caused them harm" & they can't harm little girls...unless they're unvaccinated (twitter.com)

It says a lot that the people who run this organization now care more about “optics” and current race politics than they do about context and the origin of words (especially why those words exist in context)…

In Australia, this word generally only refers to the cake slice (chocolate brownie, vs a “blondie”, which is the much less common non-chocolate variant), outside of a Scouts/Guides context…

No one has ever indicated it is “racist”, here (unlike, say, golliwogs, which the left declared war on). Ever. So this is… Truly bizarre, to me…

It sounds… Really, really bad.

Talk about “dehumanizing rhetoric”, smh.

Which, as I said, is what makes this feel like it wasn’t written by, or perhaps even for, human beings, lol…

It fits within the radlib ideology. If you look at the way transgenderism developed, it's turned into this neo-gnostic idea of the self that is completely immaterial and divorced from any sort of genetic or memetic influence, thrown into the universe rather than embedded in it.

You see this with trannies bitching about not having consented to puberty and things like that. Their view on race is that it is not the person that is black/brown/whatever. It's the cruel world that imposes blackness/browness/whatever upon them, i.e. they are racialized rather actually having a characteristic.

It gets confusing because radlibs are in a coalition with people that have a more essentialist view of identity, lack the black people who think melanin gives them superpowers.

They say that in Canada all the time. It's kind of like "People of Color" in the sense that it's trying to group together people who want nothing to do with one another. In the American case, People of color is supposed to lump East Asians with blacks and Mestizos; in Canada's case they want to lump together blacks and Pakistanis and what we might call Native Americans

Stop listening to the perpetually offended. It’s fine to be sensitive sometimes but this goes overboard

It’s worth noting that the “State of Hawaii” satire page made a joke post about this mid-BLM, in 2020, and “liberals” got really angry that they would even dare suggest this as a joke/satire…

Like, they were pissed…

Two and a half years later, and here we are… 🤷🏻‍♂️

“Suck my girldick, bigot!”

“Little girls who like to play with cars are trans, bigot!”

And now, “Small chocolate slice squares and a rank in guiding are racist, bigot!”

Satire is dead. Thanks, “liberalism”…

It's completely impossible to come up with a position that you can't make a communist take seriously.

We have heard from racialized girls that this name has caused them harm.

You have heard from leftist activists who have coached their kids.

They’ve banned replies to the original tweet (not the retweet, obviously)…

Which you didn’t use to be able to do, on Twitter…

Fucking scary times.

  • Make controversial announcement

  • Ban comment replies on all social media

  • Refuse to answer questions

  • Claim consensus

This should never have been normalized, no matter what side of politics was doing it…

We’re headed for some really bad times, if that… Method of “decision making” and “consensus forming” is allowed to continue…

That official release… Doesn’t even read like something a real human would say…

Like, WTF even is that language??! Even in Canada…

Which says a lot about this, frankly…

How soon until thin mints are renamed for fat shaming?

The Girl Guides don't use the US Girl Scout cookies unfortunately.

They're just standard chocolate or vanilla sandwich cream-filled cookies and sometimes mint: https://www.foodnetwork.ca/article/the-sweet-prairie-history-of-girl-guide-cookies/

Not sure but those are sooo fucking good.

I'm off sugar now, but those were the reason I had to drop 25 pounds over the summer. My friend told me that Keebler makes a knockoff and I was eating like a box a day lol

(Cool story bro)

So a group best known for selling cookies can't have a confection-themed name, because it's racist.

Sure, why the hell not.

A girl of a race other than white.

Now why are they using such a stupid, confusing term (I keep reading it as "radicalized") instead of something simple like "non-white", "black and brown" or fuck even "person of colour" ?? That I cannot tell you, friend.

I thought only whites could be radicalized. Like the proud boys or school shooters. Being radicalized was contemptuous. Go figure, these fucks suck the fun outta everythang.

How about instead of calling them the brownies since that's apparently incentive, we call them the youth club since it's for young kids. But that sounds stale, I know how about we use the name of whoever in charge and add youth on the end....

Canada, you are officially bigger cucks than ANY of the UK, congratulations.

If they think that's bad, wait until they see those "twink-ies" with the creamy white filling.

Judging from the tweet, it's just the vaccinated bunch running the show.

The good news is, with the rate of unexplained deaths from anything but the vaccine, they'll need more staff in a few years.

Hmm...

The Girl Scouts are a knockoff org of the Boy Scouts, and they run the (ex)-Brownies for 7-8 YOs, so to keep it nice and sanitized and corporate, I suggest a new name for them:

Organization Beta-Seven-Eight.

This name truly encapsulates the humanity that the leadership embody.
