Nobody on era made a thread about AOC commiting genocide?

[DocWager]

This isn’t pro or anti trans stuff. It’s kind of crazy how quickly you have pronouns gone from bios and Disney binning this cartoon after years of pushing all this. Like everybody collectively went, well shit, this was a mistake! They’re gonna pretend the past couple years didn’t happen. It’s a little cruel (that’s the point etc).

Confirms what everyone believed to be true. All performative bullshit. 

Yeah, if you’ve noticed since the election The Bire has stopped really pushing their pro Trans themes.

We ain’t going broke here!

She is like the character on The Boys after all. Both hot and a hypocrite. I also think this is her go at possibly running for president. She’s really the only young candidate that definitely has a chance to win just from her personality and her looks. so if she downplays a lot of the rhetoric, she’ll be a lock.

[D3RANG3D]

At this point, I feel you are the one trying to convince himself given how unprompted the “is totally worthy you guys”  have been.

Whatever dude, is not like I don’t see your point but…

Is it really unprompted when you have been schizo-ing out about another countries election since the schlonging that cackles took Last Tuesday? How is that emote not about you exactly...I'm not convincing myself of anything what have I been saying all along? That I would laugh at the outcome come hell or high water whoever won...and that I would be using those tears as lubricant!

I share Rachel Zegler’s sentiment. Get why she had to apologize but yeah. Wonder if Era ever pulls the trigger on banning Disney talk. No Star Wars or MCU discussion…

LOL yeah that won’t happen

They rather kill there kids and family before that

There is a 200% chance that Disney forced her to put out this statement.



As a reminder: Gina Carano was "fired" after posting that disliking someone because they voted for Trump is comparable to how Jews were treated during the Holocaust.

That is apparently 'far less" than what Zegler posted.

Obviously the fact that they always shift is the only thing consistent about the standards over on Era, but I do like this this "Disney forced her!" narrative.

Forced her...how? With pecuniary threats? Is mammon more important than intersectionality? So if I vote for Trump because of, say...the price of eggs, I'm in the clear?

These fuckers don't seem to understand that the contracts these idiot actors sign almost certainly have clauses that dictate public behaviour standards and protecting the Disney brand.

Rank and file nobodies in a marketing department in Big Company, Inc. can get fired and actioned over social media, FFS. They think actors are less constricted?

What fucking morons.

Companies are getting far more bearish, there isn’t a lot of capital out there comparatively, and they are running for firmer stable ground. The election showed them that the priorities of social media and the internet are not representative of the electorate, so they’re now taking critical looks at DEI initiatives, diversity, and the lot and asking that question…

“How much money is this is this making us?”

Simple calculus.

For some companies, especially in some industries, they will stand firm.

In others, “Thanks, we gave you a chance, but we’d rather cut the department and keep more people employed/placate the stockholders/improve standing with competitors, etc.”

Cruel, maybe, but anybody who thought companies were doing this out the sense of honor, duty, and respect were out of their fucking minds.

It’s not like there weren’t warnings. Fuck. The gigantic success of Top Gun: Maverick was the canary in the coal mine.

I didn't expect that the episode would be this all out. Only watched a few minutes but it gets very dumb right away. Like one other girls says "Don't tell her I'm non-binary, that would make her head explode" and I'm like... no it wouldn't, because biologically you're a girl, which means you have no advantage. Actually shouldn't you be upset that you're on the girls team? That's very binary.

You don't change people's minds by completely misrepresenting their concerns. Trans girls in sports is not an "attitude" question, it's a science question.

Man, it's so funny how they animated the rival coach to make all these crazy wacky deranged facial expressions as a way to signal the audience that she's "clearly in the wrong".

You see, usually in kids cartoons, when a character is presented as a paranoid crackpot, they usually say things like "The evil space leprechauns are coming to turn us all into fried pickles!", and the other characters just stare at them like they're totally bananas. Here, it's used for the coach saying "that kid used to be a boy on the boys team, now he's a girl playing on the girls team!", as if that's a completely crazy and unreasonable thing to be concerned about. Lmao.

Then the non-binary child goes "I used to think I was being a burden to get people to use my they/them pronouns". Then the message of how to escape the trap is to quite literally, "dismantle the system", as they dismantle the floors and walls of each area they travel through. And then the "final boss fight" animation assaults the screen with flashing pride rainbows and trans flag colors. Several times over, upon each volleyball hit.

It's no wonder this episode was canned. It's just way too heavy handed on the propaganda. Regardless of how anyone might feel about it, it's just way too divisive of a subject, let alone for a children's cartoon. Don't know why they thought this was a good idea.

feels like it's been one long string of canaries for practically 10 years now, just the failures get bigger and bigger, and the content which is unabashedly good without pretention always continues to perform well

it's been much more obvious and consistent gaming side, marvel momentum has limped disney along for further than they probably deserved

Lmao.

kids would just be confused about this, because the character is apparently not overtly trans in any way, they're basically presented as female to the point where the show's own wiki didn't know she was trans until this banned episode

she even says "when I was forced to play on the boy's team," never once says "back when I was a boy" or "back when I thought I was male" or "back when I still had a penis" or anything along those lines, the writers' desire to be coy/tactful or whatever has resulted in a confused message

the coach doesn't say "she identifies as a girl now," he just says "she IS a girl," meaning the villain just seems like they made this crazy conclusion out of nowhere with nothing supporting it

kids would think the character is a girl and has always been a girl, the trans thing would likely go right over their head

 :  "wow this lady is crazy haha, brooklyn is a girl, now maybe if brooklyn was actually a guy with a deep voice and all that, maybe then he shouldn't be allowed to play on the girl's team and she'd have a point"

I watched the epsiode and it might be one of the best episodes of MGADD. My heart is with the animtors and the crew who put such a labor of love and sincerity into this.

I feel that is a waste of talent and sincerity from the animtors to make episode saying: “fear against trans athletes is unfounded and perpetuated by evil white Karens. Wanting woman spaces is gatekeeping.”

Trans people is less than 1.0 of the populace, but we need to accommodate more than any other group.

It's more about people using Trump as a way to guilt people into voting Democrat or to downplay the current admin. Now that Trump has won the election it's only reasonable to discuss what that means and what the future looks like.

Hmm I'm not sure I understand. Biden and Harris admin are war criminals and guilty of genocide. I think everyone here can agree on that. But then we just let it go and focus on someone else? That seems too forgiving. It seems like then anyone can commit genocide and then purposely lose an election to get out of any consequences.

Trump is just a distraction; we already know he's bad and going to kill lots of innocent people. We can't lose our focus on punishing the current administration though. That's where our priority should be if we want to make real change. Trump will be Trump regardless.

User Banned (1 Month): Concern Trolling; Dismissing Concerns of Racism; History of the Same

All fictions, at the very least with narrative, that has something to say is almost always in a sense "political. But I think it takes a broad definition to actually view most works of art as political. Like, it's famously known the Tolkien was anti-war and wrote The Lord of the Rings while in that frame of mind and as such you can view it as a political work, but I think themes and messages are different than specifically political rhetoric. I think that's the distinction, and unfortunately more and more people willingly ignore any semblance of disconnect between the two concepts. Look at MAGA assholes calling literally any piece of art that has a person of minority, an LGBTQ+, or some sort of complex idea as pushing a social agenda. I think it's important not only to know how to tell the difference, but especially to know that there IS a difference.

EDIT: After reading some comments in the thread what I'm reminded of is the debate about whether or not everybody is racist. On one side of the aisle there are people that view any actively attributed, inherent belief about a difference in another race or culture or belief in stereotypes fits the broad definition of racism and its exceedingly unlikely that anybody would be immune to at least some amount of guilt by this definition. There are even those that believe a person who is in a place of privilege is inherently racist, but I think that's stupid so I won't give merit to that. On the other side, people view racism as a little more active and defining of a person, like if somebody believes another race isn't equal to their own - I guess you could call it blatant racism.

Of course the truth is some complicated mix of both. There's a lot of unseen and subconscious racism in the world, but I think whenever we broaden the definition of racism to the extent it loses its meaning in being a derision of somebody who believes they are superior to others I think we do ourselves a disservice.

So to me, while I understand and agree with the perspective that art generally has a political message in some sense, I think to call every theme or selection of a society or culture or what have you political begins to strip the word of any real meaning. If everybody is racist and everything is political, that's kind of a bleak world.

 

this is actually shocking to me if it's out of pocket, unless the spending per capita is also calculated based on the amount of money the state spends on individuals

individuals in places with free healthcare are still paying half as much as the US? on what?

The United States essentially does not have caps on state health care while the state also mandates all kinds of things, including gender affirming care, be in all plans even "minimum" and "catastrophic" plans. Americans are not used to the state telling them they can't have something and will riot if they feel the state is doing anything to take away their imagined right to other people's money.
