• UPenn will restore to female athletes all individual UPenn Division I swimming records, titles, or similar recognitions which were misappropriated by male athletes allowed to compete in female categories;
• UPenn will issue a public statement to the University community stating that it will comply with Title IX, specifying that UPenn will not allow males to compete in female athletic programs or occupy
Penn Athletics female intimate facilities;
• The statement will specify that UPenn will adopt biology-based definitions for the words 'male' and 'female' pursuant to Title IX and consistent with President Trump's Executive Orders "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism" and "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports";
• UPenn will post the statement in a prominent location on its main website and on each of its websites for women's athletics;
• UPenn will rescind any guidance which violated Title IX, remove or revise any internal and public-facing statements or documents that are inconsistent with Title IX, and notify all staff and women's athletics of all such rescissions; and
• UPenn will send a personalized letter of apology to each impacted female swimmer.

Oh well that's just great. I was literally about to join the women's UPenn swim team. I bought a bikini and everything. Easy medals. Free meals. Legally enforceable showers with hot college chicks. Good job culture warriors. You just had to go and ruin it.

Do these schools think that younger people, who make up basically their entire student body (who's funds pay for the university!) who are historically incredibly pro LGBTQ+ will seemingly forget this sort of betrayal? Christ Almighty.

I think they'll be surprised by what younger people think. Young people may be progressive, but simply labelling something as "LGBTQ+" doesn't make it progressive.

Gay people were clear about what they wanted, the same rights as everyone else - To get married and to have access to the same services as everyone else without discrimination. It was clear this wouldn't actually have any negative effect on anyone else.

Kids are growing up seeing gay people as just as ordinary and boring as the rest of us, but that's not the case with the modern transgender movement. Old school transexuals were quietly living their lives, and were such a tiny minority people mostly didn't think about them at all, but the worst people have come out of the woodwork and ruined it for everyone. The trans view of what makes someone a man or a women is regressive, not progressive.

There's no clear message from the modern transgender movement, and it's ever changing and contradictory nonsense. "Trans rights are human rights" means nothing. It's as pointless as "benji rights are human rights". "Trans women are women doesn't mean trans women are biological women" becomes "actually trans women are biological women and always have been". Eh?

It's not just a problem with trans activism, modern leftist activism is labelling everyone a bigot and demanding they do as you say, no matter how contradictory or nonsensical those demands are. No one actually tries to sell their views anymore, instead it's just "you're a piece of shit if you don't agree with me". Authoritarianism isn't progressive and the reality of it isn't appealing to young people.

The anti-gay lobby had to make up all sort of bullshit in the fight against gay marriage. Terfs don't have to do much to do much at all really. The creeps can't help but out themselves, and the next generation will grow up seeing young people that age out of being trans or regret their transition and the damage it has done to them. They see how bullshit the claims of genocide are. Despite constantly claiming to be on the "right side of history", time is on the terfs side.

Elio's issue is that its underlying premise of "boy gets abducted by aliens" is overplayed and not very interesting. The most popular Pixar movies usually had premises that immediately kindled the imagination of kids, but watching the trailers for Elio it just feels painfully generic. It's really missing that hook that makes audiences think "Oh, I can't wait to see this, I need to go to the cinema" instead of "Oh, this looks sorta fun, I'll be watching it on D+ later".

Toning down queer or environmentalist themes isn't going to help people lure into the theatres. That's not the issue that was preventing success. And while, yes, the family audience also doesn't care about themes like this specifically, the inclusion of such themes is still what's giving these movies staying power. Because beyond the initial appealing premise, they've actually got something meaningful to say that captivates you.

But all of this is not worth a lot if the premise doesn't work.

I still think Turning Red, had it not suffered the covid era, might have done well with a theatrical release first in a different time. The problem with Pixar wanting "universal" stories is their idea of universal is dull and cliche. Their creative teams then do everything they can to spice that up - but there's only so much that can be done when you're intentionally aiming for blandness.

Classic Pixar hooks are stuff like "what if toys were up to no good every time you look away", "closet monsters are farming children for electricity", "a poor rat desperately wants to be a chef", and "a superhero family must pretend to be normal and they all hate it!" There's fun weirdness there which sparks curiosity. Inside Out hits because it still has the Pixar oddity.

On the other hand I could see the blandness slowly taking over with movies like The Good Dinosaur. (Like it takes a kind of effort to use all of Pixar's resources and make a movie about dinosaurs that boring.)

Turning Red is not exactly original outside emphasizing on “Chinese Canadian girl” and the shit art style. Is not like it couldn’t work, but is weird how people latch on it.  In fact, I will argue that most Pixar films premises are not that original or subversive, they were just very good films. They may have been original and subversive compared with modern Disney films, but premises like “toys come to life” or “monsters scaring people as a job” are stuff children in that era could find in the media directed to them.

I suppose the real weirdness for most people was in the sincerity of its execution and their nature as almost event films. My first impression of stuff like Turning Red and Elio is that are films that are made from people that missed the point of “everyone can cook” and think UP is just good for its first 10 minutes.

Honestly, the Queer themes may have helped Elio if the staff didn’t feel they wanted to change the world.
Which is ironic because how closely is supposed to be to a lot of animators in the studio, but there is always a form of “insincerity” in the way people want to convey this kind of messages most of the time.

Add the fucking progress flag NOW

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

black and brown people being pasted onto the pride flag will never not confuse me

Yeah, I always though that was particularly strange. Since when was a rainbow "white-only"? 

It's all very virtue signally. 

"My flag represents all people."

"Oh yeah, well my flag represents all people and especially black and brown people, you fucking white supremacist piece of shit!"

Jelqing Tips is going to become the Journal Archive but I'm going to wait a couple days to move the old threads there, mostly so people can catch up on the last pages of the prior one.

And I want to remind people that you can use the "quote" button to quote posts (even multiple ones) across threads. So if you want to quote posts from that thread into this one, you can add them and then why you reply to this thread there will be text below the box about inserting the quotes. I did that for the above quotes and that's why they link so nicely to the original posts which you can follow back for any necessary context or whatever. I know most people don't care but it makes me feel better about closing the prior thread because it happened to be July 1.

Can you unlock the very first thread for a bit? 

I have a draft post I was planning on posting at some point, but I can't access it now because the thread is locked. I just want to get the draft so I can remember what it was that I was going to post.

Anyone coming second or third have now been awarded useless achievements and trophies that didn't rightfully earn.

The exact opposite of reality. Well done.

The University of Pennsylvania has come to an agreement with the Trump administration on what the Department of Education said was its Title IX violations.

This will include stripping trans athlete Lia Thomas of her records, titles, and recognitions.

I have a draft post I was planning on posting at some point, but I can't access it now because the thread is locked. I just want to get the draft so I can remember what it was that I was going to post.

I went into the database to get it and was going to PM it to you, but after seeing what it is, I'm posting it for all to see:

I'm gonna kill myself on May 12th 2026

But y'all ain't ready for that conversation

Well, we're waiting...

Also, Nintex is somehow 95% of the post drafts in the database. I think only one other person has more than one draft hanging around somewhere but Nintex has like 40.
