"No where else to go". Schools have LGBT clubs now and bend over backwards for those inclusion points.

So is the solution to ban all people who are of the center and right from social media?

Ain't nobody buying EVs if this is what CEOs consider "the sweet spot".

Another thread where retardEra shows how out of touch with reality they are: 
https://www.motor1.com/news/706258/tesla-model-y-worlds-top-selling-vehicle-2023/amp/

And as long as that fucked up dealership model still exists in this day and age of hyper inflation, these "average" 48k price suggestions will not be anywhere near that.

The OP doesn’t even know that rivian (and Tesla) are direct to consumer, no dealerships involved. Do these people do even a modicum of research before spouting off on a topic?

- Ending surrogacy.

Kinda have to give it to them for this one. Surrogacy exploits the poor and vulnerable working class. Can't see how Re would be against this.

Lol Tom Brady had someone make this thread for him cause he was too scared of the mods to do it himself. 

Anyone want to risk making a thread in OT? I can't take the chance. But I think it's important.

Helpful Summary that MUST be in any OP to hopefully head off derails.

I had respect for Brady until today. Now he's a bitch. "I can't take the chance" my ass. Where's your conviction now?

It also actively prevents us from engaging in more thematic and intellectual conversations around narrative, engaging with it as art, and only really allows us to engage with narrative as something to be consumed.

Just say you're too lazy to enforce rules or make your staff work.

Forums have built in spoiler tag or the option of, y'know, being a considerate person.

Even GameFAQs, where the mods shitpost on CE instead of doing literally anything else, understands that it's better to err on the side of caution rather than bully people into submission.

Posting this here to really hammer it home how much the "social media: bad" angle is used to hurt trans people while hiding behind a veil of progressivism. We've had several topics on ERA about politicians pushing bills to ban minors from social media under the pretense that they want to protect children, and try to appeal to people's experiences of stumbling onto sites with messed up stuff when they were younger, when they just really want to cut off queer youth from their support networks.

We're too quick to grant the premise about "support networks" especially since these people don't actually think those should be allowed to influence teens.

What about chud teens wanting a support network for hating The Marvels and Forspoken? Or conservative teens's support network of Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh and Gene Park? Or Christian teens having a support network for how everyone needs to be forced into their cult? Or cis teens getting a support network for stochastic genocide?

What about the "support network" for everyone who puts the staff's lives in danger?

I bet Nepnep was jealous that the right was actually willing to storm the capital while all the left does is scream during an inauguration.

[benji]

How many of these people tell the same born again story about how they turned into a chud thanks to 4chan and YouTube before they eventually saw the light as part of some advocacy for banning everything from social media and the internet in general? Or as reason we need to arrest or beat people who talk about their lived experience with oppression or anything else the cops won't like on the internet.

Remember MissGalaxy or whatever it was talking wistfully about how they were a literal Nazi who promoted ethnic cleansing before they discovered they were trans? And this is why they're so ready to street fight THQNordic or whatever fash TERF they see. This is actually a meme in trans circles. (Though they hate it leaking out from the community.)

[benji]

Alright, but remember you said this when "active physical resistance" to drag shows, immigrants, forced diversity Disney remakes, police abolition and furry conventions is the new normal.

if any support networks can be criticized for not being very good at their purpose or making things worse, it should be basically all the trans ones

if you've ever gotten a view inside a trans safe space discord it's all doom spiraling, catastrophizing, and when they're not talking about how much they hate their life and the world it's all coomerbrained hornyposting ("oh my gawwwwwd I can't wait until my fat tits grow in and I can look down at my own cleavage")

by contrast plenty of support groups you might expect to be negative, like harsh movie criticism, are chill and thoughtful by comparison

Uhh using the spoiler tag function prevents bdubs from having a thematic intellectual conversation about narrative, like in that thread where he acts like a retard for 2 pages

Don't worry, we can trust the police to figure all this out.

How comes that all the anti-trans politicians, media figures and influencers always pretend to be scared to death but then they make this face on every single picture:

Just something I noticed lately.

[Averon]

I see TransERA is talking about "strapping up" again. I don't think wasting a couple hundred dollars on AR-15s to larp in pictures posted on Discord/Twitter will stop the global trans genocide.

[Uncle]

are these people so media brained that they don't know how to understand arguments unless accompanied by dramatic facial expressions?

how often do trans people put on a scared face during an encounter as opposed to erupting in rage? are they really scared for their lives? I don't believe it based on their facial expressions

[Boredfrom]

I was interested in this but the game is overwhelmingly white.

Surely the police are going to investigate this clear crime and arrest someone, right?

With the level of surveillance in US schools, it should be very clear who did it.

Or did I miss something in the coverage where there was any evidence this even happened?
