Yup, that's exactly what they did because it's illegal here. They tried some legal loophole suggested by one of those unscrupulous agencies to strong arm the government "because the baby" but it didn't work. I don't know the exact administrative situation of those kids, but I'm pretty sure they're not registered as the surrogate parents' kids.







How about if you cannot have a baby... then don't have a baby? It's not a life and death situation that you have to exploit somebody else to have it in your behalf. Plenty of people can't have kids and they just don't. Perhaps get some other kid off foster care at least?

What a genuine piece of shit.

The Ed Sheeran threads really are fun to read (and incredibly annoying too)

They’re that far down the rabbit hole they think people won’t be going to a gig they likely paid $80+ dollars for a ticket? Just because what? He didn’t say the magic line “free Palestine”, the Era bubble in a nutshell.

Fucking idiots.

It’s also funny how they just give no fucks about the October 7th stuff and if you bring it up then you support a genocide by default. 


Brain rot

what's the big deal about oct 7th 


shit was like a decade ago, who cares?


goofy butt people want to cry about old shit forever

I think it's funny that it's another instance where the people paranoid about dogwhistles don't realize "Free Palestine" typically is one and is not some generic vague statement about the last few years events in Gaza.

[filler]

I think this country needs to not be allowed to have a military anymore the same way imperial japan and nazi germany needed it.

It’s a dog whistle they like the tune of, that’s why.

Wait until you find out about the world's largest country's last century and current ongoing actions let alone what their officials say. (Including on Twitter.)

It’s a dog whistle they like the tune of, that’s why.

I honestly think they're just ignorant on top of not caring. How many of them even made more than a single post about Israhell or Zios before Oct. 7/Gaza? Let alone devoted their personality to it and treated it like the biggest event in human history. They're not legit like filler, they're trend-followers who rhetorically go 120% to demonstrate their superior devotion to the latest thing they've taken up.

[Besticus Maximus]

many of them are truly ignorant of the holocaust and that's why its easy for them in their heads to say things like Gaza is basically the same as Auschwitz. Having a sense of proportion and magnitude and of the history and motivations behind what is happening now and what happened then is beyond them, which is quite sad because it wasn't really that long ago we were all agreed on this matter.

That's not even to say it works the other way around, what happens in gaza doesn't matter because auschwitz was worse. Its more like, treat the thing on it's own terms and be honest with it.

Their argument is something like, if the end result is the people lose the land they've lived on that is a genocide and all genocides are bad including the concord genocide and the major general rowling genocide. And also the zios learned to do this by watching and taking notes in the holocaust between LAN parties and halo coop. What was belsen if not a finishing school for evil 'zionists'? No coincidence that so many 'holocaust survivors' are zionists is it?

[benji]

Way to show your whole ass. Everything is zero-sum, all-or-nothing. You concede anything and the other side wins total eternal victory. You just sided forever with the Nazis and their Zio successors, congrats. I hope the AIPAC likes are worth it.

Someone should ask the gay trans woman jew how many countries they've visited in the last decade, and what flights they've had to cancel recently due to transphobia

Trans women are women.

Also mentally ill pervert who will probably never visit the US

Stuff like this just adds to me fear the US will not change because the Democrats refuse to, it's just becoming more and more clear many of them are just same bigoted, pro-Israel, pro big money arseholes are Republicans but just slightly less crazy. They don't want change, they don't want to improve lives, they just want "normalcy" and the status quo, one constantly crumbling because they are constantly happy to stomp on human rights to appease the right (because in part because they also support are rights taken away), feeding the beast, giving the right more power and credibility and making it harder for anyone else to fix it.

Just STFU dude

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Maybe let's have Palestinian rights first, okay?

Jesus christ, this is why you hire diverse design teams. I don't think it was intentional, but it absolutely should have been caught.

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

So in the last couple of hours, Converse is receiving backlash for an image in the recent chuck 70 x promotion featuring Karina. Now, immediately most people noticed that the visuals and lighting make Karina’s skirt look like a klan hood next to a hanging to a body.

[Polident]

Is this going to be like the jeans ad where in three days they pretend it was fake outrage pushed by the far right.

[Besticus Maximus]

This is why we need to hire consultants but also we hate the consultant class

[HaughtyFrank]

jesus christ. I almost let out a gasp as soon as the image appeared on my screen. What the fuck.

looks way too racist to be "accidental".

Too many "Oops! Accidental racisms!" for one year to be believable at this point

wowza

maybe it's just a coincidence that the shadow plus sleeves make it look like black legs hanging
maybe it's just a coincidence that the main figure is wearing long white robes
maybe it's just a coincidence that the main highlight on the person looks like a pointed white hood

just a bunch of weird, disparate things that definitely don't coalesce into a gross image.

would be actually insane if no one truly noticed this

How do you miss that even if you're the whitest person in America.

I'm guilty of having needed both things pointed out. Part of the problem.

But once you see it, holy shit.

Purposeful. There are too many layers in marketing that shit has to go through for it not to be intentional.

Going to keep happening with white supremacists specifically targeting and purging overly qualified Black people from any industry they can.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

why would asians care about black people? Especially when Disney spends money on advertisement to erase them from trailers and movie posters?

[Daffy Duck]

Are they that fucking stupid to think all these layers signed on off on this racism that they didn't think people would think it's racist?

Surely not even the stupidest person on the internet things that?

Even divorced from the implications that's such an unsettling image to run with. The mood immediately primes you to see something grim.

These fucking people man.

What sort of fucked up mind do you have to own to see a Klan hat and hanging feet?

[Besticus Maximus]

I see a disappointed little triceratops looking away from his asshole republican dad who won't stop calling him a sissy and won't let him have new converse until I can throw the baseball 

[benji]

It feels kind of racist to suggest that people of different skin colors would automatically interpret images differently and in a very specific way. Especially people of the same background, education, income status, etc. Especially when so many diverse people on Era and across the internet are capable of it despite not being of that skin color but by simply being properly in tune with the Right Side of History.

Why would a Black person, for example the President of the Jordan brand also employed at Nike (the owner of Converse), who apparently lived her entire life in Oregon automatically have visions of a Klan lynching when seeing this image? Something that probably never happened in her lifetime? Is it supposed to be embedded in her DNA just because she's Black even if it never happened to any of her ancestors anymore than any white person?

Strange how DNA can encode such things from before her lifespan but literally does nothing at all when it comes to her sex.

[benji]

Purposeful. There are too many layers in marketing that shit has to go through for it not to be intentional.

What exactly would be the purpose of everybody in Converse's oldest brand to advertise with an intentional Klan lynching image?  

Insert that comic strip:
"How does this help us sell shoes?"
"...sell shoes?"

You mean the shoes with the explicitly separate white and black colors scheme? You think it’s a coincidence the laces are white?

I can't believe this white supremacist is behind this:


If only there had been any Black bodies in any of the rooms:

What amuses me is that they think that Asians would peddle in hyper specific dog whistles that are laser focused on the American population. Meanwhile China erased Boyega from their Star Wars poster not giving a fuck. When they're being racist you'll notice that they're being racist
