The saying "you can't butter a fly" is an idiom expressing that someone or something is too difficult to influence or manipulate. It's rooted in the idea that butterflies, with their delicate nature, are virtually impossible to convince to do anything against their will, let alone "butter" them in a literal sense.

By your logic, when they freed the slaves, they really should've done it slowly instead of all at once, because look how many racists it made!

Or was civil rights too fast as well?

Same argument that was made for gay people sharing locker rooms, bigots never get new material. If you're not comfortable sharing a bathroom with someone, then, ya know, you don't have to use it.

Why is it queer people have to suffer for bigotry? Why not just be less of a bigot?

Not sure what you're arguing about, but you do you, man.

I rather think that would answer the question for most people. Were you confused on how he doesn't want to look like a weirdo so that his fascist beliefs are normalized?

The manosphere is "welcoming" the same way an abusive partner is "welcoming", and both are for the same reason.

He doesn't want to look weird. That's all. He wants people to think he's normal, and by proxy, that all of his insane fascist beliefs are normal.

Because the only things that actual bother him are being called a fucking loser and weirdo. The actually shitty things he does, he would do a million times and feel nothing.

And what you say can't be true, or the millions of lies he told would matter more.

There isn't one, the poster made it up.

AI can't even tell how many Rs are in strawberry. I have seen the code AI makes, and it is not almost there. It is quite far away. Give AI 10 years, and it will be "almost there", and even then it will still be incredibly shit code.
