Context: tweet responding to #NMUSCNBCClarettaBellamy "A woman whose wig was ripped off her head by a man as she was walking in New York City early Monday said she now wants to take legal action.
The woman, known online as Lizzy Ashliegh, posted a video on TikTok of an incident that she said took place near Penn Station around 1 a.m., when a man ripped off a turquoise wig from her head. In the video, which had over 500,000 views Wednesday evening, Ashliegh, who is audibly distraught, asks the man, 'For what reason did you take my wig off?' The man appears intoxicated and laughs when he is questioned." https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/new-york-man-fired-woman-accused-ripping-wig-street-rcna87079 #IRLMusicianLizzyAshliegh
Addendum: this appears to be the slightly redacted #CharacterisationDerivativeWorkCoOption version of the #MemeHowToRuinACity, the full version has the #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryNWord on the shaker instead simply the letter 'N'. The symbol of #BeliefJudaismStarOfDavid is also visible (as per the circle with the star inside visible on the edge of the sleeve). Assuming this is so, the sum of the collected symbols adds up to the #OtheringHateAntisemitismCaricaturePuppetMaster canard, where in this case supposedly #IdentityJewish people are behind a conspiracy to corrupt cities through promoting #PhenomnMulticulturalism. More directly in terms of the illustration, to transform an (assumed) #PhenomnMonoculturalism.ural society into one based on policies of #PolicyDiversityEquityAndInclusionDEI, which would logically include people with #IdentityAmericanBlackAndAfrican heritage (among others).

Addendum: noticeably, such memes generally focus the perpetrators of gun crime while failing to mention a key precondition - that of easy access to firearms as guaranteed by the #LegislationUS1791ConstAmdt2RightToBearArms. #TheoryOfAffordances i.e. guns are lethal devices whose design are intrinsically linked to their violent potential e.g. https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-11004-7
Versus #TheoryInstrumentalism 'value neutral' arguments such as those of the #AdvocacyUSNationalRifleAssociationNRA e.g. "guns don't kill people; people kill people" (thereby absolving gun advocates, gun manufactures etc. of any responsibility). #CatchcryGunsDontKillPeoplePeopleKillPeople

Context: "Myth: Criminals will always find a way to get their hands on a gun.
Fact: Laws like background checks stop gun sales to criminals every day. Since 1994, these laws have blocked more than 4 million gun sales to people who could not legally own guns." https://www.everytown.org/debunking-gun-myths-at-the-dinner-table/
Addendum: #TheoryInstrumentalism argument in support of #LegislationUS1791ConstAmdt2RightToBearArms e.g. something along the lines of "a gun is just a tool (which is therefore neutral of cultural influence and consequence)". The argument runs contrary to the #TheoryOfAffordances where it is the fact that guns afford killing/injuring when used whereas a pencil only affords writing and neither failing/passing an exam. Because doing so, is the affordance of the exam-sitter's ability to interpret and understand the answers the exam expects and to use appropriate communication in order to do so. #CatchcryGunsDontKillPeoplePeopleKillPeople

@SierraGottsch [name pseudonymized]: #ChatGPT müsse dekolonisiert werden, weil die Daten von "weissen Männern aus den USA" selektiert worden seien.

Is @BarbaraBleisch aware that without the technology of 'white men from the USA' their show could not be recorded, edited or broadcast? woke" #TechArtificialIntelligenceAIGenerativeChatBotChatGPT #PhenomnColonialismDe
Addendum: this tweet assumes that the engineering and operation of such technology is the sole purview of 'white men from the USA' i.e. #PoliticsNationalismAmerican. In doing so, it misunderstands (or ignores) #IRLScholarBarbaraBleisch's central thesis about algorithmic AI bias. As this Lexalytics article explains it: "There are two types of bias in AI. One is algorithmic AI bias or 'data bias,' where algorithms are trained using biased data. The other kind of bias in AI is societal AI bias. That's where our assumptions and norms as a society cause us to have blind spots or certain expectations in our thinking. Societal bias significantly influences algorithmic AI bias" https://www.lexalytics.com/blog/bias-in-ai-machine-learning/ Significantly, the idea that technology is not neutral / has a bias represents a cultural understanding of technology i.e. because AI is a cultural product, it necessarily #TheoryOfAffordances.ords bias. This perspective sits in contrast with the tweet's #TheoryInstrumentalism perspective, which imagines that technology is able to be removed from its socio-cultural context (and therefore, avoid bias). Additionally, the response's #TheoryAffectiveResponseAnxiety points to #TheoryVictimhoodWhiteThymos

Supplementary: "a number of risk factors are more closely associated with gun violence than mental illness, including adverse childhood experiences, gender and age demographics, and, most importantly, access to firearms." https://www.americanprogress.org/article/debunking-myths-the-gun-lobby-perpetuates-following-mass-shootings/ #MetaphorVersusSimpleComplexAnswers #AdvocacyUSNationalRifleAssociationNRA #LegislationUS1791ConstAmdt2RightToBearArms
Addendum: guns afford violence i.e. #TheoryOfAffordances and so, the act of carrying a gun, regardless of one's intention, brings with it violent potential.
