I don’t even know how his name is properly spelled anymore

But her last name is White so it’s a real dilemma for them.

The current moral panic about queer people is definitely manufactured, but the hatred that it’s stirred up is still real. All the religious psychos in power (including Speaker of the House Mike Johnson) really believe that stuff and want to enforce their hierarchy.

I’m doing my part by posting reaction images every day.

Midwest US reporting in!

I also use it on an LG TV and sometimes it can’t run at its normal framerate with subtitles on. I haven’t figured out why yet, but it might be embedded files like someone else says in this thread. Other than that it works like a charm.

Exactly. Voting has never been enough, but it’s also the absolute bare minimum. How am I supposed to trust people to have my back who couldn’t take an hour out of their day to check some boxes?

Harm reduction would have saved trans people like me from being erased by the government.

I didn’t realize Weird Al’s line about “me too’ing like some brain-dead AOL’er” was referencing Eternal September, he would make that reference.

I know nothing’s gonna come of me shitting on Trump voters but they get coddled by the media and they’re voting to kill all of us. I want everyone to have free housing and healthcare, including them, but I’m still fucking pissed that people with a third-grade education have made it so I have to flee the country. I was finally building a life and had a home for myself and I have to chuck that all out because there’s no way the gestapo doesn’t start rounding up trans people in the next few years.

I have plenty of blame to go around, and I’d put people who voted for Trump after four years of him being president and trying to overthrow the government after only the fascists and the media that enable them. He’s not an unknown quantity anymore.

I know a lot of people in this country are dumb and selfish, but they don’t get off the hook because of that. Plenty of white people don’t vote for blatant racism, my parents grew up in a rural town in the “good old days” and figured it out.

We do need to break through the propaganda. It’s just frustrating being told to be nuanced with a huge chunk of people who either know what’s happening and don’t care, or have the ability to find out and don’t. I’m nuanced with people I know in real life, but talking about Trump voters in general, 🤷‍♀️

For fucking real. Are these pleas for nuance ever aimed at the people voting for real actual neo-Nazis, instead of the people the neo-Nazis are going after?

There are plenty of people who are marginalized or lacking in education who don’t vote Republican because it doesn’t take a college degree to see that Trump tried to overthrow the government. Just because guys who are mad about not getting laid become neo-Nazis doesn’t mean the rest of us who are dealing with hardship do. Black people have been getting shit on since well before this country was even a country and they’re the most reliable Democratic demographic there is. Pretty much everyone has access to the internet and if they cared to learn about they world they could.

I appreciate your period-appropriate example with TJ Ford.

It feels so out of character that they’d call each other that, because I think that’s really the only part of that movie that didn’t age well. The rest of the time they’re a great example of guys having a healthy friendship.

Every time I come across forum posts from the 2000s I lose a little bit of nostalgia for that period of time. The casual bigotry was fucking everywhere.

If you like the aggressive energy of that song, other ones like that are WWIII; Bullets, Bombs, and Bigotry; Paradise; and KMF. They have a shitload of music but that’s what I can think of off the top of my head.

It really does. And I do think it was on the Brutal Legend soundtrack. I know it because I’m just old enough to remember that sort of stuff back in the 90s when it was big.
