The nonchalance from Americans is far more disturbing than whatever bullshit comes out of Trump's mouth, whether or not you believe Canadians in this thread are overreacting.

Your fucking president is repeatedly stating his intentions to annex a neighbouring country for no reason, while actively trying to economically destroy said country (even if it hurts your country as well)

And yall cant even manage a "what the fuck". Just complete apathy.

Dems? Silence.

Media? "haha weird. Anyways..."

Citizens? "Oh he's Donald Trump, he always says crazy shit. Stop overracting"

or

"Ok thats a crazy thing to say but I hope you guys know that I didn't vote for him"

or

"Pleeease fuck us up Canada, out of spite so I can feel better about myself that republicans are suffering" despite not realizing that we aren't actively trying to enrage the US government or encourage retilation. We are in survival mode right now.

And then you wonder why Canadians are almost universally in "Fuck America" mode.

Yall almost collectively never think about anything but yourselves. You have full-blown fascism staring you in the face and your main priority is your own feelings, financial security, well-being, or your own moral superiority.

OOF. YOIKES. Amurcans in shambles n all that

How dare they. Some of us didn't buy anything the other day. And are getting rid of everything but the essentials like streaming services and Apple products and Gundams. What more do they want???

[benji]

Like, is Canada even organizing a neighborhood pod and delivering meals and vaccinations to the elderly? Has Governor Trudeau even read the basic theory of his revolutionary father?

I owe Echoes an apology

So ERA, I don’t think “politics of decorum” is not wanting to throw smoke grenades in the state of Union or fist brawls. I imagine there is better ways to protest Trump than whatever the democrats are doing, but you guys go full stupid.

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

yes but did you simply say "that's cute" all deadpan or are you secure enough in your masculinity that it was possible to hear the heart emoji in your voice?!?!?!

" that's cute "

How's that? I hope it's not too gay. I maybe shoulda just went with one heart emoji. Please don't think I'm gay.

You need to change "Arizona Department of Corrections" to "Arizona Department of Maximum Gayness".

[Boredfrom]

Yep. We decided communism was a greater evil, so all the Nazis were allowed to reintegrate and help us (capitalism) beat communism.

“What is East Germany?”

Denmark, Sweden or Iceland.

Thank you, Trump 

Denmark, Sweden and Iceland on learning of this:

Yeah, that's nowhere near enough to stop the fascist genocide we're in the middle of.

why don't the bricks line up in "strange tower"

the easiest way to do that is to make a brick pattern and use "strange tower" as a cutout on it, but they appear to have manually drawn a slightly different brick pattern on every letter? including the two t's, so it wasn't just a font that made every letter the same?

I remain convinced as ever that you have one, and only one, way out of this, America.

Disgusting. I don't want children exposed to something so perverse. It's predatory is what it is.

wlw Echo on the first page

Yeah I was going to point out those two things aren't mutually exclusive and would be interesting in it's own right. it's very easy to forget many trans people are religious, from Jewish, Muslim, Pagan etc, I know a couple of Muslim trans people right now celebrating Ramadan and some of the nicest people I've ever met was a pro-trans Rabbi I met at Heathrow.

Of course we all know why this is happening and who this is meant to appeal, this is to appeal to US Christian Fundamentalists and rightwing chuds who couldn't give a crap about loving and caring about their neighbours and care solely about hate and power, all the while pointing to a book most in any have actually read. Lilith, this is depressing.

I do like how people are pointing out the character isn't the first Christian character despite the fact the OP and article not saying it's the first. They're going ape shit over a child, a freakin child character 

 The first page is just an entire run of invective (someone attempted to point out that this decision was already in the pipe well ahead of "the shift" back in November, but there's teeth to gnash, by Lilith! ) against religion. 

Which, hey - fuck religion, right-on, sisters!  But there's massively different energy at this instance of disney representation versus the Marvels (to the point it was UNACCEPTABLE if the casting of the  professional actor was not specifically reserved for a card-carying adherent to the religion in question, and I can't help but feel feel like this is the perfect week to have this discussion. 

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

If I had an era account I would accidentally post my generic "fuck these religious subhumans right back into the middle ages where they belong!" into whatever unfortunate religious sticky that happens to be hovering near the header 

Then I'd just McGuyver together some personality quirks to beat the ban appeal (he/they>autistic>sexworker(farts-on-pasties)

[benji]

Why do they even ban it in the first place? I mean, other than they're idiots and think it's illegal.

[Ribosome]

One way out of this? Moderate on a handful of extremely unpopular stances*, win elections, and neuter the Trump administration. 

*doing this is in fact another genocide

But one of their premises is that there will be no more elections. There was one election that mattered and the Democrats chose genocide rather than defeat fascism.

I don't want to talk like an infant because I don't want to be infantilised, thanks.
Cute girls looking for a daddy do.

Using this to talk about a Japanese TV show nobody else has watched. It’s called Ojisan wa Kawaii Mono ga Osuki. Basically “old man loves cute things.” Premise is what the title suggests. A normal guy in his 40s is into cute dolls, animals, and so on. But he’s embarrassed by it and treats it as a secret identity like he’s Batman. He’s accidentally exposed when buying a capsule machine toy by another older guy with similar hobbies. Long story short, he finds friends to share his hobbies and interests, but it stresses the importance of not fucking up your entire life over it. You can be true to yourself and still be a functioning member of society.

There are strange number of shows with that exact premise. There’s even one about a girl building Gundam models called Ryosangata Riko.

Wow, literally Melody Shreds.

[Chudder Barbarity]

For fucks sake, i was away again (spent the week boycotting billionaires and billionaire adjacent chuds like benji, unlike y'all so called allies) and catching up on the thread it's filled with pages of

- debates about trаnnys (why we doing this shit yet again?!)
- bitching about Ukraine
- bitching about semantic nonsense in Trump's latest shitpost 

in the future, please shut the fuck up and take all this crap to the other threads. this is purely a safe space for discussing wholesome wlw content, but as usual cis don't care and intentionally make it difficult for us to lesbians to keep up to date with the praxis.

Speaking of our fallen brothers in the fight against capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy, I played a game of Catan online against this person

[Chudder Barbarity]

"Total trаnny death!"
"NO! Trans women are heccing cute and valid!"

"Ukraine is a lost cause, why we wasting time funding them?"
"Never surrender, total vatnik death!"

"DRUMPF IS FRIENDS WITH LE HECCING PUTLER"
"Akshully, he is not friends with him, he is merely pursuing his own (ir)rational self interest "

repeat x10 for the last few pages. nobody cares about this shit, shutting the fuck up is free.

[benji]

like wow, yikes, oof, you are like not being very heckin cute right now and that is like very sus because chuds are not cute at all, so like I'm going to need you to like show like some like basic human decency and like give money to trans people

[Alpacx]

Speaking of wlw...Guess who 
Women, you are great.

Not much to say, just wanted to add some positivity after a night of misery. Women of era, you are great, hope you have a good day and get to hug a Tapir because their cute:

And especially wlw and lesbians out there, hope you have a great day and get hugged by the goddess of wlw today.

I swear I didn't read the bolded before typing my first sentence.

[benji]

Lilith thanks you, it is just not said enough that women are amazing and loved, especially lesbians. You are seen, wlw, we see you and celebrate you because wlw are goddesses. Lesbians.
