Do these people not understand time or math? Like that we're three months in to this poo poo, and that death toll for AIDS (not a good loving example of "how to manage a novel disease outbreak" btw) is over decades?

Also, yknow, the fact that sodomy was in fact illegal in many states during the height of the AIDS epidemic.

Also jumping on the unironically this train. During peak COVID in my country streets were really quiet and it was a joy to bicycle. Now it's back to normal and constant noise and cars. All cars except some necessary supply trucks and public transport should be banned.

I feel like that might not actually be an amazing idea to implement in reality without a massive amount of infrastructure being built

That video is correct though, for a specific type of race reductionist "woke" liberal

Like if you've never seen the people who are anti-interracial relationships but woke you're very lucky

Yeah "attack on titan is facist" is one of those things that seems true if you only take a glance at it but don't look into it any more than that, which helped it spread as the narrative online.

Fullmetal Alchemist is the one that got so weirdly fascist (or maybe Zionist, I don't recall) that they made a second anime adaptation just to make it less fascist, right?

The first FMA anime stopped following the manga after a certain point, the 2nd anime is a more faithful adaptation of the story in the manga.

Yeah I think it's pretty valid to be mad at Netflix over their handling of it, and I don't think it's really fair to expect people to dig into it more beyond their initial impressions (which are, again, Netflix's fault)

One of the bigger streamers on the platform is Hasan Piker, and his chat is full of people using pepe emotes. You'll find the same in a lot of left leaning stream chats. It isn't really exclusive to the right anymore.

What was happening in here when people were just mad because someone made a vague reference to an actor in the Harry Potter films being on some kind of list? Before the pedophile got outed by someone who reads nazi websites?

Someone made a joke about the actor being on the Epstine flight logs, which one poster didn't get and had a very aggro response to. Then some guy dropped in with some hot take about trans women, and then it exploded into this.

A good prelude to meltdown may.

95% of of the time, anyone who designs a character in a fantasy videogame to look like their real body (or their desired/idealized version of it) is a giant dweeb and deserves nothing but mockery.

The other 5% is trans and gender-questioning people using it to explore gender stuff in a safe environment.

People should be allowed to play games in whatever ways they want (within reason) without mockery

If this is what I think it's about (and a quick look at their timeline makes me think it is) the 2 characters in question are not actually brothers, and the term used to describe their relationship is one that is in fact sometimes used to describe a romantic relationship.

Still a weird aggro post though.

I think there's something to be said about how atomized a lot of people are to the point of their perceived only options for dating are dating apps, which can be absolute hell for self esteem. It's not hard to see why some people come out of that kinda hosed up. The violent misogyny is less excusable, however.

There are a whole lot of people who were diagnosed with Aspergers as children and don't really keep up with things enough to know why it isn't being diagnosed as such anymore. It's not all that uncommon.

The idea that it makes you averse to lying though is absolutely insane, however.
