silence7Meta Deletes Trans and Nonbinary Messenger Themes
pooZuck, meet Luigi
In all seriousness it’s not a cure for all our ailments. As much as some people may have “earned” themselves a forced retirement it can be incredibly easy to frame it as a purely political hit and then swing the pendulum back the other way and take out someone actually fighting for democracy. The United Health CEO seems to have been universally accepted as human garbage.
How many billionaires do you know actively fighting for democracy?
How many does he know who wouldn’t change their behavior if their lives and safety were in question?

Sexualizing 17-year olds is ok with them now?
Does the Facebook cafeteria serve pizza and/or have a basement?
Sexualizing 17-year olds is ok with them now?
Well, 17 is maybe a bit too old for them, but it’s better than nothing.

Outrage as GOP AGs Argue Fewer Pregnant Teens Deprive States of Population Increases | Common Dreams
GOP officials in Idaho, Kansas, and Missouri are pushing to restrict abortion pill access to reduce teen pregnancy rates. They suggest teenage girls exist to produce citizens for the state. #AbortionRights #ReproductiveJustice
Being conservative is a medical condition that is created through a bad childhood with lacking empathy and no proper education. Republicans want to breed the next generation of their voterbase. Teen pregnancies are just one piece of that puzzle.
Thanks leaded gasoline!
How is being trans sexual? Even if its using a slur to refer to them…
Snot FlickermanOh I can answer this one!
The areas with the highest anti-trans sentiment also consume the most trans pornography.
This is the anchor point, because they only interact with trans people through pornography, they view them as sexualized at their core.
This is why there’s so much “they shove their sexuality in our faces” talk because to these people, trans people existing at all is “shoving it in their face.”
Why? Once again, because they, in their own minds, have reduced trans people to sex objects.
The important part of it is that bit that says “(beneath photo of 17 year old girl)” because it’s just a photo. To look at a photo and immediately assume what they have going on their pants is the definition of sexualizing it. It’s just an innocuous photo of a teen, and now they’ve made it sexual by thinking way too much about what kind of genitals this innocent teen has. Literally, this could be a cisgender girl, no less. They’re flat out making an assumption, the example does not say one way or another. So what, does she need to show her pussy to these people to prove she’s cisgender and stop the abuse?
What does it say about a person when they see a photo of a teen and their first thought is about what genitals they have? It says they view everything through a lens of sex, and they have sexualized this girl for spending, once again, way too much time thinking about her genitals, genitals which have no impact on them as viewers of the photo.
By jumping to her genitals, they’ve sexualized it, and that’s because they only view trans people as sex objects.
How is discussing a 17-year old’s genitals outside a doctor’s office not sexual?
What do people’s genitals have to do this this?
I know you are being technically accurate about gender identity, but we’re not talking about you, and the example here is someone posting “look at that tranny”. They are absolutely thinking about genitals.
Um, have you ever heard of Instagram?
I don’t think I could write a single one of those sentences at the behest of an employer.
I’m already seeing people I know personally whining that they can’t use Facebook because they need it for work reasons. People will rationalize anything if it inconveniences them even mildly.
I get the work purposes thing, but at the same time there are too many businesses without their own website where they could post more information for pretty cheap prices.
You can still cut it out from your personal life and your scrolling.
Yeah I quit caring.
Don’t care. Quit. It’s inexcusable.
I gave mine up spring of 2016 and never looked back. Surprisingly it didn’t have to do with the election either. I remember talking to a few friends a few months later and they said I got out at the right time since it was the start of the crazies coming out of the woodwork.
I have no clue how people can be so addicted to stuff like this that they make all the excuses in the world to not go through with it.
And what is the problem with that? Dont like it? Block it and move on… I dont like a lot of things i see and im not whining like a baby about it, i ignore and move on. Grow up
Walk_blesseDMy brother in Christ, you are whining about people expressing opinions you don’t like right now. Why don’t you ignore it and move on? Grow up.
That’s a lot easier when you’re not the target of the hate.
EngywookNope, they just follow the money (hint: Trump). And they were doing that before (i.e., pretending to be diversity-friendly). Corps have no ethics nor morals, the just follow the money.
I suppose it always was rainbow capitalism. No way somebody with too much money for them to have to care about marginalized people would.
driving_croonerDamn, they went* full mask off.
Not sure what you mean, but I read it as full musk off - not sure really what that would mean either but it somehow makes more sense.
[deleted] in lemmy“Mask off” refers to taking off the facade of something and showing their true selves. In the case of meta/twitter/etc. the changing of policy from protecting groups that are discriminated against (ineffectively, but at least pretending to try) to actually promoting hate and discrimination is revealing their true selves as bigots and hate mongers.
I think they were confused because of the typo. It should say “they ~went~ full mask off”
Good, it is about time we stop shoving this idea down everyone’s throats.
Are the bright colors giving you impure thoughts?
Why would sex be considered ‘impure’ anyhow? Are you assuming I’m some sort of religious follower? Nah. Pretty anti-theist and non-believing. Thanks for participating!
Guy IngonitoHumans moved past pleasure simply for procreation long ago.
An interesting collection of words in an order I’m sure made sense when you typed it.
TimeSquirrelCan we get people to also then stop shoving their cisgender straightness down our throats as well? Would only be fair.
Can you provide an example of this cis shit being showed in your throat on fediverse?
We are talking about the general public sphere, not here.
OK then example in the public sphere that you don't like?
It's not that I don't like it, I couldn't care less. But as an example, let's see, how about, almost a hundred years of straight heterosexual cisgender couples sucking face in the vast majority of movies and TV shows ever produced? Or the vast majority of romantic literature? I can think of many more.
OK... But they are the majority and the target audience for these movies.
Do you expect heterosexual relationships to be censored?
MegaUltraChickenDo you expect heterosexual relationships to be censored?
If we’re choosing to censor non-heterosexual relationships? Absolutely.
Unresolved issues detected lol
Attacking hetero couples within the modern power structure is a very odd approach here
You are doing too much culture wars, not enough class war.
toomanypancakesAh, so only relationships you don’t think are normal hetero should be censored. I see.
Again nobody said this lol
But they are the majority and the target audience for these movies.
Sorry, you said “majority” and not literally normal. Semantics debates definitely deflect from how fucking stupid your argument is, keep them up.
If you need to edit my text to feed your faux outrage, this kind proves my point that you are making up homophia when non exists.
Okay, tagging you as illiterate. Fuck off.
If you cant handle non heteo relationships, then why should anyone be forced to handle hetro relationship? See how stupid you sound?
If you cant handle non heteo relationships,
Citation?
See how stupid you sound?
Build a strawman to call me stupid?
Cute
You need a citation for this thread?
Youre not helping with your case.
You being the asshole.
And that's generally my job around here.
Where the mods at?
Im only an asshole to bigots. They dont deserve any respect.
Beej JorgensenWhat does it being the majority have to do with it? Being skinny is overrepresented in movies but that doesn’t seem to hurt sales.
Don’t forget the toxic Manosphere out there in the genpop. Many young men are drawn into the Rogan-type bs.
If a colour theme is enough to set you off, you may want to have an honest conversation with yourself about those feelings you are repressing.
And they always phrase it as something being “shoved down their throat”. Freud would have a field day with it.
EldritchWell he was Freud. Everything tied back to dicks and mothers. Make of that what you will. Maybe it was a Freudian slip.
Well, it’s rumoured that he and Jung were sharing more than their theories on psychoanalysis in their formative years.
