skeleton warrior posted:Also, even if Lester was right about it being surgeries, and even if Lester was right about the increase being dramatic, it still ignores that due to a lack of understanding and lack of awareness gender reassignment was being under-diagnosed prior to then, and the dramatic change may have much more to do with an exposure of normal levels than some “well all the kids my ages are getting their dicks cut off, I want to join the cool kids too” It’s why they need to manipulate statistics to give the impression that half of school kids are trans now like going on HRT is akin to beanie babies or pokémon or uh a fad that wasn’t 30 years ago. Roblox? Gotta scare people to pass laws against the icky scary ones.

On top of the transphobia, it's mourning the death of traditional gender roles. The AFAB woman is supposed to be the helpless damsel in distress with a busted tire that her feeble woman brain can't comprehend trying to fix while a chivalrous manly man arrives to rescue her from her feminine incompetence. Instead, you have a man in a dress who has no idea how to change a tire (lol, millennials, amirite?) relying on a woman to do the work for him.

Yes And the old dude with the cracked skull, videos of journalists with credentials showing being intentionally shot at/detained, firing tear gas cannisters into people's faces and so on, and so forth. In summary just an orgy of violence and lawlessness by police against people who dared to ask "please stop killing us quite so much". And this old rear end prick trying to pretend like it doesn't exist. EDIT: Horsey should go back to drawing bomb-rear end titties, becuase that was actually less offensive than this garbage. hooman fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Mar 13, 2023 |

It's even dumber when you realize that stuff is mostly fictional. "triangulating the cellphone" yeah ok. Rall had no ideas and was watching tv. At least it wasn't broadcast by the Russian Government this time.

ACAB and all, but what's depicted in the cartoon is like 1,000% better than what cops do now. Instead of mag-dumping into a stolen UPS van and killing some unlucky drivers who happened to be on the road at the same time, or blowing the guys tires sending him careening into oncoming traffic, or drone striking an aid worker and his entire family for driving a car that looks like something a terrorist had, the police positively identify him, shut down his vehicle remotely, and bring him in with the minimum necessary force? And this is bad because???

At least that's the best I can come up with, just some bad slippery slope argument.

Yes, they were also using long expired teargas, and expired teargas has lots of nasty stuff in it that causes hormonal issues and is a known abortifacient. Unfortunately it was all used up with none to be found on 1/6, shame about that. Also aiming "nonlethal" munitions at peoples heads after gassing and kettling them. But also lmao at the notion that any cartoonist here outside of like, Collins or Kelly would've been supporting of the civil rights movement. We've all seen what the politoons were like at the time.

Speaking of TV, is there like an age cutoff where people believe TV is real life. Or do you just lose the ability to distinguish between reality and fantasy and that's why old people think stuff like Kojak and leave it to beaver are how things really used to be? Or maybe it's just a stupid-person thing and not linked to age or generations, now that I just remembered the young reactionaries who can't tell the difference between 1950s vacuum cleaner advertisements of domestic bliss and the actual 1950s.

It's a 'not wanting to think about things' thing. Pop TV provides nice bite size scenarios that you don't have to think about, often with moral certainty or a gods-eye view where you know that the bad guy is guilty because you saw him on screen doing all the bad guy stuff. News sources (especially ragebait bullshit ones) pretend that they have that kind of certainty about a messy reality, and nostalgia sells it about a 'nice' past.
