I just started reading, and at 99, can't help but pick up that the person who voted for Gilmore Girls, a TV show that had zionist propaganda, is Maya Salam, an Arab and got bullied for her ethnicity when young.
Celebrated shows often push viewers out of their comfort zones. "Gilmore Girls," created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, succeeded by doing the opposite: charming viewers with low-stakes drama, snappy dialogue and unmatched cozy vibes. The "girls," Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) and her daughter, Rory (Alexis Bledel), live in Stars Hollow, Conn., a storybook hamlet teeming with nosy neighbors and quirky townies. Years after its seven-season run ended, "Gilmore Girls" found new life on streaming, becoming synonymous with autumn nostalgia and sending fans to Washington, Conn., the real-life inspiration for Stars Hollow, for a taste of the show's small-town fantasy. — Maya Salam

BLUEY is absolutely exceptional. Not for a kids show either. A show that can make ME weep openly because it connected to some emotional tether I have left dangling from childhood...MAKE THE LIST!

jesus christ these people are complete faggots. ive watched like a million hours of bluey over the years with the kid and sure its good compared to most kid shows but its not whatever emotional rollercoaster they are making it out to be.

Person: Getting rid of the wokescolds, the people that live to just judge and lecture based on a purity spiral of mild disagreement or not applying strict praxis perfectly have got to go.  As someone who built an approachable leftist community, we have to build a movement that ordinary people want to be part of and feel welcomed in, rather than constantly looking over their shoulder to see if they're gonna get punished.

Nepenthe: Exactly.  Nah you're 100% right. And this is why I hate big-tent politics, we can't tolerate every motherfucker that isn't fully aligned with us on essential issues.. We need to be more exclusionary and selective about who we allow in the movement.

I read this whole thread thinking "I can't be the only one that thinks this Noire person isn't real?"

There's no way they're real, right?

Edit:

Can someone more knowledgeable than me please explain the context in which a person identifying as He/Him could claim to be a lesbian. =/

homie doesn’t know he’s a banned man walking   look at this asshole, not knowing how males can be lesbians (WLW) too

This sort of question is so beautiful because there isn't any sort of rational explanation. You just have to accept it because you have to keep affirming and support anyone who identifies as LGBT. The whole thing has become just vibes, not logic

"I'm a male lesbian asexual slut and if you question that you're genociding me"

Can someone more knowledgeable than me please explain the context in which a person identifying as He/Him could claim to be a lesbian. =/

https://taimi.com/wiki/hehim-lesbian-what-is-it-what-does-it-mean/

I think this write-up is solid, but excuse that the site is pushing their app

The write-up was, in fact, not solid.

Basically just saying, “he/him” refers to pronouns, not necessarily to being a man.  Then why get upset when someone doesn't use the right pronouns?  Who the fuck knows!

A he/him lesbian may also be a cis or transgender woman, as well as a non-binary person.

In hell, you read sentences like this all day long, and the devil rapes you while you do it.

From Constructive 

I would like to know why it's so hard to just get a Trump tag for off topic.



I just want to auto ignore everything Trump please.





PLEASE.

I report every single thread about trump as us politics (sorry mods for the report spam lol), which should result in it at least being moved to the politics subforum, and ideally tagged USA, because that's what it is. I have now done this so much I have learnt there is a minimum wait time between reporting posts because there are often multiple in the latest page :-)



Anyway please do that same.

I will say: do people get notified that their threads are being moved or otherwise altered by a moderator?



Because it's often the same people over and over again. Either they don't notice the moves, or they do and are intentionally ignoring the message.

No they wouldn't necessarily automatically be notified. But it certainly something we should be doing more of I guess...

Apologies for the long read, but it's been bottling up for awhile now and thought I need to get it out there.



The current discourse around trans rights have been becoming more volatile as candidates have increasingly been showing their anti-trans positions more and more. Even with our current sitting politicians, trans rights have been rooted into certain policies and bills that were either directly or indirectly aimed at the trans community with little to almost no pushback.



In the midst of it all, there are discussions and conversations around if being anti-trans is enough for people to decide whether or not to vote for a candidate because at the end of the day it would be for the greater good. They would rather have a Democratic candidate who has come out strong against Trump, conservative values, but not on trans rights because of the alternative which would be worse if they were a Republican, so from their perspective this is fine.



If these people plan to vote this way, then that's on them. However, those people should not make it seem as if they are voting for them for the greater good. Greater good for whom? If that answer is everybody except the trans community, then those people need to stop pretending their vote is for the benefit of everyone because it clearly is not.



There's an active trans genocide going on right now, and it's been slowly unfolding in these past years and now ramping up. Just because it's not moving fast, and seemingly on the surface to some not as bad as other issues, if you want to make those other issues your priority then that's on you. Just don't keep using the excuse that it's the better choice for the sake of everyone because of the alternative. Voting for someone who is more less anti-trans than the other candidate who is more anti-trans, is still voting for someone who is anti-trans.



When the trans community or it's supporters get angry and upset when someone decides this is acceptable, it is because they are angry and upset this is acceptable. Stop trying to put layers to it, and add nuance that doesn't need to be there, simply just to convince the trans community that, no no, it's not that bad. It is that bad. The trans community is upset because people are actively willing to throw them under the bus because they just don't care enough about the issue, whether people want to admit it to themselves or not.



Many in the trans community sees what's happening exactly for what it is. Removing of trans rights and actively engaging in trans genocide is not just about trans rights. What the trans community is fighting for is also fighting for the rights of all marginalized groups within our society. The trans community knows what's at stake, and what's at stake is far larger than just the rights of their community, and I feel this is always what's missed when people are willing to say it's for the greater good to just pick a candidate or support one over a Republican simply because they may limit the damage that conservatives are doing now. This is not what will happen, this has not happened in the past when we acquiesced, and is not what is actually happening. Willingness to give up the rights of one; what's going to stop that willingness for the rights of others?



At the end of the day, if you're willing to vote for a candidate that is anti-trans simply because you want to make sure things aren't "as bad", that is fine and your right. But don't make it seem like you're doing anybody in the trans community a favor by doing so. Don't be mystified by the reaction from the trans community when it's met with anger and disappointment when you're willing to accept you're directly hurting their people with your decisions.

Black people have been showing up for decades.

As a Black person who has been showing up, we don't have much to show for our loyalty. And I'm sick of being taken for granted. Don't use us to shame another minority.

It's not like I don't understand harm reduction. If I were American I would have voted for Kamala and given how awful Trump term 2 has been I can't imagine myself not voting against Republicans in 2028. I would also do whatever I could in the meantime to avoid having to vote for one of these terrible Dems.



I think the problem is some people direct almost all of their anger at the people sitting out instead of the genocidal politicians making them sit out.





Well I know you have always been one of the best posters on this board when it comes to Ukraine. As a though experiment, if Biden and Kamala treated Ukrainians the same as Palestinians, would that have any impact on your posts? This hypothetical means they would be sending unlimited weapons to Putin for free to kill tens of thousand of Ukrainian civilians with.



You've made nearly 7000 posts in the Ukraine thread so I find it hard to believe you would support Democrats in the same way if they actively wanted to murder Ukrain
ians.

All my homies hate Newsom. I ain't voting for this pos if he is the Dem nominee in the presidential election.

Gavin "Newscum the Nazi Piece of Shit" Newsom could have 5 dead hookers in the trunk of his car, and I'd still crawl through 2 miles of broken glass to vote for him in a general election if it meant getting these braindead MAGA fucks out of the executive branch.

And people are confused as to why trans people might choose to not vote.

Trans people of the UK were told this same thing about voting for labour.

Okay, well, we live in America. Did anti-trans laws get proposed and voted on when democrats had the majority in some house?

Live in the real world. If you don't want to vote, that's on you, but stop with talking about another fucking country like you're doing fuck all.

 User Banned (Permanent): Dismissive and antagonistic commentary

By pointing out that Opulence in the states protects fascistic transphobic capital. Transphobia remains another issue to distract away from how opulent individuals in this country absolutely ruin any semblance of meaningful voting power.

Looking a Sudanese child dying of cholera in the face and saying you wouldn't vote against USAID cuts because it's more effective to "point out the opulence of transphobic capital." Or maybe the wife of a migrant detained in a camp waiting to be deported to who knows where. Or the young mother kicked from her benefits.

"Why couldn't you do both?" "Well, I had to send a message."

Hahahaha. As much as I'm sure you bloviate about the oppressed you are happy to walk over their corpses on the way to your goal. How many black and brown lives is one trans athlete worth? 10? 100? 1,000? 10,000? Sheesh, and we talk about betrayal! Amerikkkans really are useless.

Decades of showing up only for liberals to say BLM was Woke 1.0 that went too far even after they saw what happened to George Floyd, for them to quietly nod along when Biden said we needed to fund the police, for there to be no word on reparations, prison abolition, addressing disparities in access to healthcare, education, literally nothing of material interest to the Black community.

We are literally nothing but an anonymous voting block for white liberals to count on to stave off having to confront the fact that their white cohorts just aren't really worth fucking shit and it's their responsibility as the so-called adults in the room to regulate and educate their in-group, not an actual group of people to give a fuck about their material needs. We get that bullshit "thank you for saving democracy" crap and then it's back to ignoring us, mocking our culture, or calling the police on us.

The destruction of the revolutionary character of the Black American block in the 60s and 70s was devastating, and the pivot towards assimilation into white American bourgeois ideals was a grave fucking mistake.

So yeah, don't do what we did.
