Jazzy VidaliaReminds me of a Taco Bell building that turned into a really good independent taco place. Retained the distinct building shape, but the food was astronomically better and the service was friendlier.
Feels that fits the message just as well, lol
littlecoltThe best Chinese place in my area for a long time was in an old taco bell.
To be fair we called it China Bell. (It was actually called Chef Ma’s)
gornarOkay, I don’t know if you didn’t know that, but the building in the picture is originally from a transphobic post:

SombyrMaybe I don’t understand the definition of straw man properly, but I don’t think this is one. It’s a response to a metaphor some conservatives have used against trans people that the look of a pizza hut is so iconic, that it’d be rediculous to call it anything else, because it’s obviously a pizza hut, no matter what you put inside it. This is a response to that, showing that insisting it’s still a pizza hut just because it looks like one to you is absurd. I agree it’s a little bit cringy. There’s been better rebuttals to it, but I think this still makes the point.
I don’t think this was ever a popular conservative argument though. I’ve only seen it in screenshots of a single highly retweeted tweet with various rebuttals attached. I guess it seems more like just a random dumb argument people decided was fun to make fun of.
The pizza hut/arbys is clearly a metaphor for trans people, but I have never seen a real, conservative flip the fuck out just because someone used the person’s preferred pronouns. Most people are really moderate in reality. A strawman is when a group creates personified stereotype that they can pin their problems on to have something to be angry about.
That said.
