How did I not know about this?

I think it's a bit ridiculous how the pride flag was meant to show that humanity is on a spectrum of all kinds of sexualities in different amounts. But then the attention people wanted to start adding extra widgets, shapes, and colors to the flag that was supposed to represent basically everyone (or at least the non 100% straight people, depends on interpretation).
Go to the hood and tell a black dude walking around at two am that he has his own representation on the pride rev. d flag, right between the stripes for asexual and native Americans or whatever, and see what happens.
Ah yes, the Toyota Camry feeling
Well yeah, but they expect people talking nonsense to get pummeled in the court of public opinion
That's literally not free speech. If I say I like to eat broccoli every day and that people should try it for health reasons and you're some kind of carnivore mod and it tickles you the wrong way and you block me for it... That's censorship and the opposite of free speech.
You're telling me that you control the narrative. Now there's nuance to censorship for sure, but you're telling me that if you don't like what I say I'm out. I have to type within the confines of the bubble of what isn't too uncomfortable for you.
I say let the downvotes do the talking. If I go on the electric vehicles instance talking about how (non-ironocally) I love to roll coal and how that's what's keeping me from trying EVs, I expect to be downvoted into the shadow realm. And that's ok. What I'm not ok with is a mod assuming that my voice sucks and that I don't deserve to be heard. Maybe some smart lemmier(?) will point out some doodad that makes a brrr noise and shoots out some harmless mist or something.
And so was Battlestar Galactica
... the most qualified candidate in the history of people running for president...
You do realize that she was extremely widely disliked right? You do realize that we got Trump because the Democrats wanted a stack the deck in her favor by giving air time to the looniest sounding opponent? You two realize that despite all that, she did not have a clear win?
She was so qualified that people thought that the" you're fired" guy with connections to the mob or whatever, dealings and cover ups with a pornstar, and (at the time) widely talked about connections with a foreign power... Got into the white house?
And you have a gal to blame people who exercise their democratic right to vote? Fuck you. It's people like you who are the reason that we're stuck in this polarized two party system.
As for RGB, yes she should have retired under Obama. The Republicans did all kinds of shenanigans to get all their supreme Court people in, and it's okay when they do it, but the Democrats have to fight clean or whatever, so now Row v. Wade is gone
I'd be more happy if they just dug a really big borehole and then just filled it up where no one lives
You teleported out of the closet. I like it. Live your true life funkless!
I have only been on the federverse for like two or three weeks. I meant in popular media and actually even in my real life interactions.
I have heard things like I tried to be gay, or I wish I was a lesbian, etc. I do think that it's influenced by media having this archetype of the ~~cool/suave/fun/wise/good-crazy~~ interesting side-character friend. Oftentimes these characters aren't fully developed and their whole personality is that they are not straight, but they have this cool friend group thing going on and everyone likes them.
Don't get me wrong, there are fantastic examples of gay characters in media where they aren't just the token diversity character, it too often we have quirky-dirky (but flat) interesting person whose only defining quality is that they're not boring ol' heterosexual
Are you posting from North Korea?
