Shouldn't be their framing but it's the truth.

Or like, stop following psychopathic lonely YouTubers advice and see that the happy and successful men around you in your life are nothing like that.

The problem is that it's easy to get people to vote for you by telling them they're perfect and it's the "different people" that cause all your problems. It's hard to get people to vote for you by saying that you need to work on yourself to be happy and we'll try to help you do so.

If you offer a guy whose miserable a Mercedes they don't need, or a decade of therapy, 85% will take the car.

Holy shit

They're posting Hogg!

Today, the DNC kicked out David Hogg from the position he won on a technicality, because they determined his position has to be filled by a woman instead.

You literally think he lost his position BECAUSE Democrats wanted a DEI hire?????

No, I think he lost his position because they were mad about him trying to primary sitting members, but the mechanism they used to get rid of him is literally what was in my post. You and I are informed enough to understand the reality of the situation, your median voter probably isn't. Deeper meanings and nuance aren't really going to matter to the voters we're talking about in this thread. They're going to see that this white guy lost his job with the democrats because of a diversity quota. I mean that's the tweet, that's the youtube lead in, that's the podcast quote.

I mean, bigots are gonna bigot, but in the context of men are Black men, non-white Latino men, Indigenous men, Asian men, etc. going to really care about David Hogg like that? And even assuming that all of these groups care enough about this for it to be a hot button issue, what are Democrats supposed to do about it? Never hire or elect minorities again?....
I mean, they seem to really want to trend in that direction, but still.

I've said it jokingly since the election but I really believe it now:

We need punk rock back. The counterculture etc, there isn't that reinforcement of being different is OK, and finding the community in that.

Anti woke is the counterculture, for better or worse.

Hey look at that, burka brigade also doesn't like it when real people are sexual

Yeah her sexy baby doll nighties schtick? Now it's just 70s stuff. Such persona.

Girl's a talent, but I am not a fan of her image. Stylish, sure, by whatever metric. But she also 100% panders to men and I'm not the only one saying this is in bad taste. Worth mentioning again: See my post at the top of the page

My goodness, we are totally running out of super sexualized popstarts!! ! D:

At least when others do it, it wasn't for a bad photo op of getting hair grabbed. Like there's literally millions of ways to do "sexy" and they landed on this. It's was a choice and it was a bad one lol. Madonna, Megan Thee, Shakira, hell Grace Jones are better examples.

It's almost like all the arguments about agency are just bullshit and it's simply about what kind of sexual imagery they like and which they don't

I mean, yeah, there's low cost options for therapy available.

I need to know what Dice looks like. In fact, I'd love to see what all those criticizing look like because it feels like it all comes to jealousy.

I mean, they seem to really want to trend in that direction, but still.

Or maybe just don't establish mandatory quotas?

This wouldn't be a problem if David Hogg would stop identifying as Evil. 

Just say you're non-binary.

Chud spotted:

If Democrats were smart they would campaign on and fix our awful divorce laws in America.

Divorce law hugely favors women and is crushing lots of men through no fault of their own.

That's a huge huge issue ruining the lives of good men and driving them to the right.

Nep goes in for the kill ban:

No, nothing like avoiding hiring or electing marginalized groups. But once you do hire someone not in one of those groups, don't rug pull because it isn't diverse enough.
What I'm trying to say here is that the democrats literally kicked a guy out of his job based on a diversity quota (yes there are other underlying reasons, I get that). They didn't work with him to find another role, they didn't have one extra person in his position for a while, they said, actually, even though you won this election, we only want a woman, so you are gone. Maybe this won't get picked up by the right wing podcast networks, but my bet is it will. And those podcasts are going to say "The democrats don't want a man, they don't want men, they don't want you." It's a recruiting pitch that was just handed to the right wingers.

I'm confused.

Do you believe Hogg was kicked out because he wasn't a minority or not?

[books]

Thats a honeypot thread. Defending men will get you banned; after all men are rapists and what not.

[HaughtyFrank]

Nepenthe wants quotas but also that people never talk about the quotas. If you talk about the quota you're a bigot

[DavidCroquet]

I need to know what Dice looks like. In fact, I'd love to see what all those criticizing look like because it feels like it all comes to jealousy.

She’s very normal looking. Which certainly qualifies her as the hottest woman on era by far, even without seeing the rest.

She’s got some other kinda shit going on.

Cat fight

i cant believe the artist who has multiple songs about sex and who has said in interviews how much she likes sex would make such an evocative album cover

You don't understand, the Era users must pearl clutch about how bad the album cover paints women as if it's not an incredibly successful and (based off her lyrics, anyway, I don't know her personally) liberal young woman who is confident in her own sexuality.

i don’t like pointing out double standards on here cuz era fuckin hate it, but if she was leashed by a woman the takes would be turbo reversed lol

im pan and would be happily leashed by anyone ☺️

“you’re only allowed to like sex in x way” very healthy

I got nothing against sexy. I just don't like the story this one tells. Again you don't have to look far to find sexy album covers --- I think this one is particularly in bad taste.

EDIT: Did you seriously not read what I said?? I said there's "literally millions of ways to do "sexy",not that one is alowed. Huh?

swear to god if era was to have one sex-positive thread it would self destruct moments later

calling some of the most basic kink stuff 'disgusting', whew

y'all heads would pop at a pride parade the second you saw a pup hood

...Um... What the knee-jerk-hell is going on??
Like I really don't think I'm saying anything too extreme here and I'm even corroborating and choosing my words carefully.

Like I'm all for sex positivity (I'll be a total dork here and say Olivia Rodrigo's brand of this is better lol), and I don't shame a kink. Heck, Sabrina's songs shit-talk and kink-talk very well, so it's not even her music I'm against. So I don't get the knee-jerk response to say this is a GREAT choice for a cover. Like sorry – It's a bad album cover, and they happen sometimes; and you seem to particularly wanna stan for it – have at it. I'm over it, because it's ~AESTHETICALLY UNPLEASING~ to me, let's just say. 🎨🙄 But apparently I can't post badly about a bad cover without getting into a weird dog pile (pun not intended) about sex and sexuality like I'm just not considering the sexiness correctly.... okay?

Absolutely. Here is my response:
Wow, that sounds really urgent. I want to help out.
I clicked on your Linktree, but there are a few different buttons there for donations. I just want to make sure I'm sending it to the right place.
I think I can cover the whole $121 so it can be resolved quickly like you said. Which of the links should I use for that specific amount? Let me know the exact steps. My banking app can be a little tricky sometimes.

Okay, the spambot (Britt) replies: Click this link to my cashapp or my venmo, from there you can pay with your credit card.  thanks so much!!!
____

Excellent. Here is my next response, designed to introduce more friction and waste more time.
Oh, great! Thanks for clarifying. I'm ready to do this now.
Quick question though, you said "Click this link to my cashapp or my venmo," but I don't see a link in your message. Did you forget to paste it?
Also, you mentioned both Cash App and Venmo. Do you have a preference? I've heard some of them take a bigger fee than others, and I want to make sure the full $121 gets to you without any of it going to the app company.
Sorry for the extra questions, I just want to make sure I do it right! Just let me know which one you prefer and send over the correct link. I'll get it done as soon as I hear back.

I can make this bot on python and run it locally in the background using any opensource LLM via the bluesky API.  If only these people allowed comments on their posts or opened their DMs. 

If you want to send them truly mental just tell them you've been trying to donate a couple of hundred dollars but the link isn't working properly. For extra lols you could try and get them to buy Amazon gift cards

Oh, look, Fat4all suddenly has the brave and stunning confidence to lecture a woman about sexual morality. Who could have seen this coming.

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

That Gavin Newsom thread reminds me of a reddit screenshot I saw recently on twitter (oh my god HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth, that sounds fascinating, tell me more!) of a trans lady complaining that their older brothers new girlfriend was over for dinner for the first time and spoke about how she's a lawyer and has worked on some gender critical cases and that led straight to "I don't feel safe because she hates me and wants me dead!".

Saying "I don't feel safe" when there isn't actually any threat to your safety isn't a winning argument. Rowling has stated over and over that she doesn't hate trans people nor does she want them dead, but they just continue to repeat the lines they read on the internet like a child throwing a tantrum. A parent might eventually give in to their whiny child, but you can't annoy your way to societal change. A whole-ass society will eventually get sick of your bullshit.

This is a patronizing-ass way to talk to someone who doesn't want to vote for someone who thinks they should be wiped off the map.

 From the most patronizing-ass on Resetera, who fantasizes about billions of people being wiped off the map for the sake of her post-capitalist utopia.

He is a transphobe and hates me and my people.

"My people". That's a creepy ass way to refer to anybody that happens to be trans. Exactly the kind of thinking that leads to believing it's fine for males who rape women to be imprisoned with new potential victims. Us versus them. "Us is always good". "Them is always bad". Very cult-like.

See also: "Queers for Palestine" supporting a group of people that largely includes those that actually hate them and want them dead (we know they feel this way because they literally tell us). It's actually very patronizing and patriarchal to ignore what people say and insist they really mean something else. See: That BBC documentary that translated Palestinians talking about their hatred of Jews as a hatred of Israelis. Or supporters labelling the footage of barbarism that Hamas filmed of themselves committing as nothing more than Israeli propaganda. 

people who "tolerate genocide" are absolute trash and are useless allies

"Ally" isn't a label you apply like to those who believe exactly as you do, and never say or do anything you might take issue with. "Give me everything I want and I'll award you this meaningless badge of honour". That's not what an alliance is.

Maybe protecting the rights of people like me is a small deal for you, but it's not 'random bullshit' and it's not a sign that Newsom 'isn't perfect in every way'. Not when our rights under constant threat right now.

You have the same rights as everyone else. None of which as under any sort of threat. The "rights" you want are ones that infringe on other people.

Trans genocide in the specific case of talking Newsom here.

In response to someone who assumed Clicky was referring to Palestine.

Newsom would further the genocide actively.

What does it mean for something that isn't happening at all to "get worse"?

What even is this "genocide"? Even the most militant terfs don't insist that "trans" as a concept be wiped out. They'll happily refer to trans women as trans-identified males, for instance. Even those who use the threat of suicide in an attempt to get what they want aren't actually killing themselves (because threatening suicide and feeling suicidal aren't the same thing).

Damn. Trans rights, Israel/Palestine, genocide, Nep being a big arsehole... This post has it all!

*sigh*

I'm so tired.

In this case "tolerate genocide" means disagreeing with them on any subject.

Actually, isn't everyone on Era tolerating genocide? What are they doing to stop it? What are they doing to divest from it? They're literally posting on a forum that makes profits from genocide and they can't stop doing that.

"I took food to an elderly woman."
"I wrote my Congressman."

Holy shit

Maybe because, after decades of therapy, all of you fucks are still depressed, still think you're women and still unemployed. Take the fucking Merc and at least have some joy in your shit house pathetic lives.

No.

I'm talking about the ads. Microsoft literally gives them money to advertise their products.

They could block Microsoft ads. Why don't they? Because they tolerate genocide. And every person who has an account there is complicit.
