“Why didn’t the Jews just sit down and talk through their differences with the Nazis?”

Yeah, and Jews should sit down with Nazis and have a polite conversation about their differing opinions.

You might be a little unhinged too if one of the two political parties in your country was calling for your genocide.

Ten bucks says an executive is going to flee the country a day before massive fraud is reported.

Yes, it is bad to ask your audience who are neck deep in a weird parasocial relationship to do free work for while you get your shit together and hire proper merchandisers.

Something something your professor dies, the goblins were framed

When it comes to the ACAB commentary, we seen a form of it as far back as the first episode of Part 2, where a literally piggish, greedy cop was about to arrest a impoverished black kid for stealing the main character’s wallet, and is introduced this way. Imo, it’s pretty dated message, but it’s a message nonetheless.

No, they aren’t.

Rowling has explicitly stated that she considers support for the HP franchise to be support for her and, by extension, for her transphobia. Given that Star Wars is now firmly in Disney’s hands and has been in the hands of many other people, it would be harder for Lucas to lay claim to the franchise in the same way.

Except JKR still has creative control over the franchise, so its not quite the same thing.

Henry Ford’s dead. TERF wizard lady is not.

“People get tired of it.” If you think it’s exhausting caring about genocide imagine how exhausting it is having to justify your right to exist every waking moment of every day. If your biggest struggle is “people on internet are mean about me enjoying genocide simulator that gives money to people committing genocide”…

“You could lash out at someone who does charity work, attends protests, and does actual work for the LGBTQIA+ community because they seperated the art from the artist and didn’t participate in Slacktivism.”

They are very much the same group. They lost that battle and they see this as the current battle.
If they they win this it’s back to fighting the gays. They’ll use the exact same arguments too.

This is all colossal shit show, but the fact that there’s even a significant number of voices standing up against JK’s transphobia is heartening in a way. It reminds me very much of the anti-gay movements in the late 90's and early 00's - hopefully a sign that yet another form of bigotry is dying. 

There are a bunch of places I can get a sandwich other than Subway.  Only one of them is actually better than Subway, and even they don’t have spinach or peppers for your sandwich, only l/t/o.

The only chain alternative to Subway here is a lone Jersey Mikes a few miles down the road.

I don’t even have Subway anymore.......

And then: Shang Chi. 8 sweet sweet cubes for me 😄
