It'll be interesting to see a character following the teachings of Jesus Christ, like

  • Luke 16:13 "You cannot serve both God and money."
  • Mark 10:21 "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor"
  • Matthew 5:39 "If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also."
  • Matthew 5:44 "love your enemies"

So there's no chance the character will be a capitalist, troop-supporting, neo-Nazi. Right?

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

[–] Jackhammer_Joe@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

I can't recall ever seeing a single profile pic on Lemmy. Even when clicking on a username, all I see are posts, no profile. I honestly didn't even know there was a profile to edit. I'm primarily on Voyager.

No downvotes from me; just adding my experience to the conversation.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago

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.

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.

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago

Lol no they are not

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The Trump administration probably threatened to break up Disney.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com -1 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I wonder how China will react. Plus for them: no trans character. Minus for them: replaced with Christian insurgent.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If China just goes pro LGBT, it'll be a clear sign that despite China being China, it might be time to move to China.

That to me would be a predecessor of brain drain.

Smart people are kinky af.

"If only the oppressive government in a foreign country would stop oppressing my minority it would be a safe indicator to move there on a large scale, surely they would welcome outsiders raised on a western mindset into their homogenous society"
