Well I did feel bad about pirating Agatha All Along but not anymore.

Never feel bad about pirating, son!

son

Come on 😮‍💨

She's very obviously a woman, don't call her "son."

Why tf am I getting downvoted? What's wrong with people?

I mean I know a dude whose initials are KD[last initial]. He doesn't like his feminine first name, so he started going by Katie. KD. He just can't win.

Yes, but you can clearly see a woman in her profile pic, combined with a girl's name, on a trans instance, and if any of that gives you pause enough to check her profile, you'll find it says, "sapphic. hater of capital letters. bunny and cat mum." Just because some random guy somewhere goes by KD does not make it ok to misgender someone who is very obviously a woman.

Whoever downvoted this, come out and say it my face, coward. Fuck transphobes.

Anyone browsing on most mobile Lemmy apps does not see profile pics btw, so people might be downvoting because "she's very obviously a woman" is in fact not at all obvious to mobile users.

I did not downvote btw. Am using Eternity Lemmy client.

The Trump administration probably threatened to break up Disney.

Nah, they probably realized that parents are generally more conservative than most and more likely to be Christian than the general population. They're following the money.

I feel like these corps did a calculation and figured out everyone has an excuse to not boycott companies like Disney except right wingers who have become exceptionally good at the boycott.

In my experience those people will typically boycott brands as a group meanwhile my friends find every excuse in the book to support the major corps hurting them. Even aoc went to Florida during covid. And people wonder why they win.

Yup. Leftists Don't have that insane person conviction. Dip shits need to learn to boycott

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Leftists are already trying to fuck megacorps over, why would they try and placate them?

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

Lol no they are not
