While i condone death threats harassment and doxxing in all its forms, you cant present Rowling as an innocent party here. She’s literally the most well known anti trans advocate on the planet, and her advocacy has contributed greatly to the rising transphobia in the UK if not the world . Shes been literally cited by…

I mean i understand ‘if you even think of buying this game, you are not my friend, you are not an ally’. Its literally finding the most well known anti trans advocate on the planet, while simultaneously being literally just a game you can absolutely do without. The logic goes “if you can’t do this one very easy thing ,…

Even if it is, wouldn’t it only work on transphobes by default? I mean, someone who is going to start harassing trans people because some trans advocates criticised or even harassed someone they liked is like the dude who starts spewing slurs after he gets robbed by a black dude. Don’t you need to already be quite…

Its not true that the only countermeasure is not allowing them to show the episode. Dubai has anti gay laws. They could have been sued. Not to mention that the episode not being showed is quite a lot in fact. They paid to make it and it not being shown is akin to a fine if you concider loss of revenue. Plus any…

Im reading this comment section after comming here from a link in a recent article and im struck by how many people seem to be going to bad for this person and how many people seem to feel this is an unacceptable level of “cancel culture”.

Huh? How is it a false equivalency on these grounds? Sure its more severe but this isn’t disagreement on the terms and definitions

Ah yes, people were so mad someone called em a racist when they weren’t or brought up them being homophobic years ago, they decided to put trump in the white house to prove their naysayers right. Because that’s how ppl work. How dare you blame anyone but the people responsible for trumps ascend for it

Why? Why should they host content and promote and associate with people who do terrible shit. Or generally people they don’t like?

You brought up something literally no one said

Yea there’s a comment with the most likes here talking about how this is evidence capitalism sides with the regressive regime and im like..... No this is literally a company following local regulation. Its the same thing as putting a cancer warning only for california

Siding with a regime when it comes to these things means making the thing according to that regimes requirements in general . An example of this would be a company not making movies featuring gay people and citing Russia or dubai, not making those movies and then having them cencored in those places

I mean i dont think this is a case of that at all. In this case we are talking about editing out a thing that if shown would be illegal. What is a company supposed to do, just get sued?

You don’t understand what cencorship means. There’s no government entity forcing Netflix to not run these episodes. Netflix made the choice to not run them. Had it run them it wouldn’t have faced any legal repercussion at all. Thus its not cencorship

Man you couldn’t even get your stupid reductionist take right, it’s “why the far right bad”. This article had nothing to so with the right in general, only with the current and past crop of corrupt far right Italian politicians and their allies, and , you know the why, it wasn’t just saying it.

The pokemon community being weird about young girls? What is it a day that ends with y? 

Kanji is actually a horrible example because its an example of them trying to do both a sexuality storyline and a toxic masculinity storyline and thus fumbling both.

Actual correct comment here

The last time persona had a normal queer relationship was persona 2. Even 4 that gets props for representation has no actual queer relationships for the mc and features cringe worthy tropes such as the sexuality ambiguous dude falling in love with a crossdressing girl without knowing shes a girl and then he asks her…

Why does the title say allegations? Dude's been charged he's going to trial! Why not charges? 

There’s a common misconception here about trials. Trials are not about establishing guilt. Trials are about establishing whether the state has sufficient evidence to punish you for a crime. Not guilty means that there isn’t enough evidence to convict you, not that you didn’t do the deed. Or in the case of jurors, that…
