Guys, this isn't an issue. There's literally no need to freak out over a total hypothetical like this. We are owned by an EU company, we have to follow EU laws on data protection. That is the end of it. Coming up with crazy hypotheticals and scaring each other for no reason doesn't help anybody. Seriously, chill out.

Wow, it's almost as if the whole "die TERF scum" rhetoric delivered the perfect layup for Republicans

I’m reminded of the time when they started ironically chanting about “coming for your kids” and were when right-wingers started sharing the videos and going, “See?”

Clicky is a blind follower. They're just repeating what they've been told was the party line for the past decade. They're very clearly confused as to why the trans sisters aren't providing backup all of a sudden.

For some reason I always thought the original Princess post got secret-deleted by the mods. The edit is actually way funnier.

Before:
"We need you to kill for us. Extrajudicial murder is not only justified, it is the ONLY solution."

After:
"Conscientious advocacy can be extremely valuable. Donating to trans-friendly aid organizations should also not be overlooked...in trying times, a little help with making ends meet is so, so critical. Don't forget to call your representatives, and--as always--vote, and take your friends with you!"

A thread asking the US citizens whether they realize that the only way the current situation is resolved is a civil war. Diplomacy won't be enough because the other side aren't interested in talking or compromising. Only through violence and killing/prosecuting those on the fascist side ready to kill for their beliefs will this be turned around.

The only alternative is to have those republicans (politicians) who have a conscience change sides but they are way too afraid of their own electorate/the prospect of losing their position to ever do that. It's too late. They should have done that when they had the chance to impeach him.

Edit: Of course a third possibility is some of the states seceeding peacefully but I can't imagine Trump letting them go without a fight and the UST (United States of Trump) would still be a hellhole for those caught behind their borders. Quite a lot of people would probably flee though. And domestic terrorism would skyrocket from locals on either side dissatisfied with their state being opposed to their own beliefs.

Clicky seriously needs to log off for a while or they’re going to have a heart attack. This much Era is clearly fucking with their brain and they’re like one more news story away from a full nervous breakdown.

Also, another example of bubbles like Era causing real damage, because no one is able to actually say “chill the fuck out” without copping the dismissing concerns hammer.

Probably not. Hot women bad, gay furry himbos good.

I don't think they even know, they've been days behind the rest of the world as information takes a while to pierce their bubble. It's actually been amazing to see how isolated they are from what the rest of the internet knows.

People need to look at the Bluesky OT thread to see all the issues it's been having lately. Mostly in moderation that is pro Nazi. Even before recent events, LGBT people have been banned for stupid stuff. So it's been an ongoing issue.

Remember Bluesky is owned by Crypto backers...

It's time to create an even purer social media, BlueSky is tainted by Jesse Singal and Nazi mods.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/do-you-think-beyond-the-spider-verse-will-put-miles-and-gwen-together.1030578/#post-131383668

I am quite aware that everything signals a romantic bond between them. As said, I just don't want it. Maybe Beyond will convince me. I just wish they showed Gwen bonding with anyone other than Miles. Unfortunately it's ultimately Miles' story, so there's is less room for Gwen. I'm happy she has a proper character arc, because I would loath her just existing to be the love interest. Which is what Into originally set her up as.

Also apart of it for me is how mildly creepy Miles is at times. He's a teenage boy so it's "fine" but his relationship with girls/women is literally just his mom and Gwen. His uncle did not instill the best values in him.

...

Fine, I'll elaborate but if you see no room for nuance then this will be a lengthy exercise in futility.

Touching someone and invading their personal space, without any hint of permission, in order to hit on them is not cool. Aaron teaching Miles that is not cool. His masculine bravado is outdated at best. Yes, it's played for laughs and obviously that was a good choice so as to not play into harmful/racist stereotypes. While also showing that it's not a good thing to do. The creative team does a similar thing in Across by having Gwen react fondly/positively to Miles' journal of obsession. I can better frame my point by saying Miles is an awkward teenager who does things that are genuinely creepy in real life. I say that with some ounce of authority, because I'm a trans woman and once was a "teenage boy" with creepy, awkward crushes/obsessions. Am I projecting onto Miles? Absolutely! It comes from my own personal lived experience. It's from a place of empathy that I cringe at some of Miles' actions while also loving him as a character.

I am not a fan of Aaron's portrayal in Spider-Verse, there isn't a lot of nuance to his character like there is in the Insomniac games. He's the cool uncle that encourages Miles' creative spirit which goes outside what is "lawful." That part is fine, great even, as it ties into being a vigilante which all Spider-People are (generally speaking). But (in the film) he's also kinda literally a villain that is willing to kill a kid until he realizes it's his own damn nephew. Mind you, I'm cognisant of the fact that he works for Kingpin. There may have been an attempt at commentary there but it goes nowhere as he almost immediately dies so as to be this Miles' equivalent of Uncle Ben. Uncle Aaron evoking Uncle Ben is deliberate in that it's a shorthand to show he instilled some wisdom into Miles. Which is muddied in the execution of the movie but is reinforced by Miles still loving his uncle and paying tribute to him through graffiti. A medium of rebellion and expression outside of (white) laws. They had elements of something great there but fell short.

My intent was to convey that Aaron didn't have good wisdom to give Miles in regards to approaching girls/women. How I expressed and worded that in my original post is not okay, and I again apologize for that.

Yes, this can boil down to me not liking Miles/Gwen for personal reasons and it does to a degree. It can simultaneously be true that I genuinely feel they are better as friends as of Beyond. As I said in another post, I can be sold on them as a romantic pairing. It's plenty possible that Beyond will be able to do that after we see the rest of Miles' arc and how Gwen's ties into it. Especially after she betrayed Miles and was not a good ally to him.

I do not view Miles as a "threat" to Gwen, and I apologize for using rhetoric that, intentionally or not, plays into racist notions. I also realize the importance of Black boys/men getting together romantically with white girls/women in mainstream media, especially when it's aimed at children. "Children's animation" is a very important medium for conveying good and progressive messages/representation to children, as well as adults. Especially for minorities. My personal feelings on the pairing should not take away from that, but I realize they can and probably do.

I could not convey what I wanted to in a concise manner, so here's my verbose thoughts. Warts and all.

You really shouldn't have replied........

An awkward crush is not an obsession.......not even close to it. And not to mention with the whole "Touching someone and invading their personal space, without any hint of permission, in order to hit on them is not cool. Aaron teaching Miles that is not cool." It's a shoulder touch. It's done all the time in media.The movie even as you say doesn't even paint it as a bad thing. At most it's awkward and cringe, so there is no need to read a malcious intent behind it especially on Aaron's part. You're framing this as some of "threatening" act and implyin Aaron has problematic views on women overall due to this. You're still veering into framing the interest of black men/kids into women as "threatening" with that rhetoric along with saying Miles's crush as an "obsession". Miles wasn't even being creepy and clearly established some rapport at first. Plus that is one scene from every other interaction they have. Hyper-focusing on this and trying to make it "problematic" is ridiculous as at worst it is cringe and awkward. I have never heard before today ANYONE thinking how Miles act is somehow 'creepy'

Also I notice your lack of addressing your other part of saying Aaron "didn't instill great values in Miles with women as he only has his mom and gwen" with regards to the existence of Peni and Margo and ALSO the fact the movies don't dwell into people's social lives in general.

BTW this line"

"A medium of rebellion and expression outside of (white) laws."
