A vote for not killing their babies is a vote for killing our babies

[–] Viking_Hippie 37 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Which one is a vote for feeding almost all babies to Cthulhu?

[–] moriquende 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

why not all babies? are you a pedo or something?

[–] Viking_Hippie 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm thinking we're going to need to keep a tiny percentage of them to avoid the extinction of the species. It sucks, I know 🤷

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

have? no. but a tiny population to feel shame and record creating and keeping would not be all that bad. 5 million humans would be more than enough.

[–] Viking_Hippie 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So what you're saying is to keep every Danish person minus 500k-600k and eliminate everyone else?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

nah, danes still pollute a lot. more like indigenous people that are used to live of the land, aborigenes, amazonian tribes, african tribes. you know cultures that are more focused on earth.

I'd love to see a reboot of survivor with only billionaires as contestants.

[–] Event_Horizon 5 points 1 year ago

See I'm not a fan of free-range or caged babies even if it's to continue the species. I think we should move towards sustainable lab grown babies

Come on you know voting for a third party is just a waste of a vote. This election is serious there are babies to kill.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Think about taxing the rich? THAT'S SOCIALISM

Ponder if an apartheid state is doing a genocide? ANTISEMITISM

Don't like the new Marvel movie? SEXIST! RACIST!

Freedom of speech died long ago and now there is no flow of ideas, even incrementally. We're in big trouble

[–] dangblingus 52 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not liking the new Marvel movie is fine. Making it about race or sex is what makes you a racist for not liking the new Marvel movie. This thread apparently thinks those people don't exist lol

[–] MotoAsh 16 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Eh, while it's not as common as other political psychosis, I have directly been told, "you just don't like strong women." to my face, for saying I didn't like how they utterly failed to develop Rey as a character in the new Star Wars trilogy and the movies suck over all.

Apparently wanting good, cohesive writing where main characters actually have lessons to learn and growth to do makes me a sexist to them, all because I can point to Luke, a guy, failing a bunch?

Some people really DO need to "touch grass".

Kinda sus on that third question

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have seen this argument used against people who didn't like the Marvels.

[–] killeronthecorner 31 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah, and it was also a dog whistle to conservatives to feel under represented and "oppressed" by the presence of a non white person as a superhero.

The people you're talking about can easily clarify it by saying "I don't like it, but I'm happy to see more women and people of color in these roles". Bish bash bosh, not a racist.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (12 children)

For example:

That Miss Marvel show didn't appeal to me because it was clearly a coming of age story made for young teens.

[–] dangblingus 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay, but that was you. There were thousands more broskis online that hated it simply because it reminded them that minorities exist.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Sure. But you can tell what they are because they say things like "the agenda" and "forced diversity," or spend time getting mad that a Marvel series had the nerve to be made for young people.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't go see it because I'm burnt out on Marvel movie seemingly made MadLibs style with the same 3 predictable plots and a word bank of characters and settings.

[–] David_Eight 1 points 1 year ago

Ok someone else pick the characters and plot.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

no nuance, please... we aren't divided enough.

Well, yeah. Both Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel were met with extreme vitriol from people who would rather not see a woman in their super hero universe. Should we expect those people to have gone through a maturation process in the last 4 years?

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The problem comes when you dislike these not because there was a female lead but because the writing was shit.

But because woman lead men sexist for no like.

Though tbf it really comes down to most writers not knowing how to write female leads.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's a bigger problem that barely has to do with the specific shows or movies. Marvel Studios has mostly been coasting since Endgame. It also didn't prioritize female led properties, so they're all coming out in this coasting period. This means they might be on average not as good. It's not directly because they're female led, but it is sort of indirectly because of that.

Freedom of speech died long ago

Lol, free speech isn't dead just because people criticize your opinions. You're not being silenced because people argue with you, and no one is arresting you for your opinions. Climb down off your cross.

[–] WaxedWookie 4 points 1 year ago

But everyone has to listen to me loudly whine about being silenced when I'm up here...

[–] surewhynotlem 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Freedom of speech is just fine. Call me when the government arrests you for something you say.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I feel like the kind of person who would claim there is no freedom of speech anymore would take this challenge and go shout "FIRE" in a movie theatre or "BOMB" in an airport.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

We still have freedom of speech, for now. While the brainlets on twitter and other social media censor eachother, we can still say and think whatever we want. Its just that people are pushed by it into one of several dumbass corners that many ideas appear lost. Luckily, platforms like lemmy emerge to hopefully counter some of that effect.

Just reminded about this eposode. It even has english subs.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

now now, lets not BOTH SIDES us back to hitler if we are dumbing down everything.

[–] Saltblue 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reminder that "both sides" it's rightoid propaganda

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There's very rarely just two sides, and sometimes assholes fight each other. Forcing reality to conform to a binary worldview is dumb.

[–] LouNeko 11 points 1 year ago

If we're all just killing babies anyway and its hunting season, why don't we throw them together and make it baby hunting season. Those little fuckers won't know what hit them.
