Just block them and be done with it.

Blocking is extremely effective here compared to Reddit, they just poof out of existence and you never have to think about them again.

Im one of the supposedly negative ones - think im about 150 down in comment karma at this point.

What worries me is the push toward inclusion at the expense of everything and everyone else, and that and discussions and calls to stop and think are met with insults, accusations, and apparently I’m just wanting to swing my giant dick around. I wish I had a giant dick to swing around.

We as a society have never had to try integrate a group that presents concerns that actually affect other people. Black people in the states were just black people, religion has different views but are within their rights to do as they wish and practice without interfere from others. Where does a trans persons rights to how they see themselves compare to how others see them and their rights? We have mums calling out trans people who call themselves mums, students wanting to compete where they have advantages over nok trans students because of who they see themselves as, and let’s not even go into the bathroom debate. Do we need to fire people who worked hard to have the right ratios in an industry, and do we hire based on sexual orientation and race to be more inclusive - and is this morally right? Is it morally right to expect 50% of woman board members, and only 0.2% of kindergarten teachers male?

All people have rights, concerns and should have autonomy in themselves. But this can’t come at the expense of others and openly discussing these concerns, developing ideas, strategies and understanding are how we work through it without generating resentment and anger - but these are not easy or pleasant discussions.

You couldn’t have shown your lack of knowledge of history more perfectly if you tried. Have you ever heard of the term segregation?

As long as the movie is good I don’t care who made it. The industry also shouldn’t. This goes both ways: good nonbinary filmmakers should get to make movies, bad nonbinary filmmakers shouldn’t make movies just because they’re nonbinary.

I just hope she does a better job of this than the titular character she played in Tár did with her own initiative of supporting women conductors.

Long story short, everyone should see Tár.

Whoa!! Now I get even more chills watching LotR. Knowing IRL Galadriel supporting the quest for queerness. 🥰

Lmao the ammount of removed posts because they go against the accepted narrative… Ridiculous. I would get if there was hate speech, but that was not the case at all
