Conservatives are now boycotting Kellogg’s over a picture at the Tony’s : lgbtq

[-] UngodlyAudrey@beehaw.org 31 points 2 years ago

I feel so bad for Dylan Mulvaney in particular... she can't do anything or associate with anyone without the conservatives going ballistic. This is what they want for all of the transgender community. Even happening to see one offhandedly is "shoving it down their throats".

[-] withersailor@aussie.zone 8 points 2 years ago

I wonder if she can use that against them.

[-] bootyberrypancakes 7 points 2 years ago

Water is trans now conservatives, better stop drinking any!

[-] nzodd@beehaw.org 31 points 2 years ago

Conservatives would ban the sun because even their own shadows terrify them.

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

You’re right, in the literal and jungian sense.

[-] RomanceDailies@beehaw.org 23 points 2 years ago

Holy crap! Even posing with a photo is bad? So treating us as humans is now considered a bad thing?

[-] moneygrowsontrees@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

Yes. That's exactly it. The fact that transgender people exist in the world is abhorrent to them so it's an affront to their senses that anyone would acknowledge them as human beings. They need something to hate in order to feel alive and they've latched onto trans-hate as their new socially acceptable hatred.

I'm grateful for the brave public figures who are absorbing so much hatred and rage but standing tall in who they are none the less. We need them to fight back against the hatred just by virtue of existing in the public space so that we can move forward, however slowly.

This is why, some time ago, I decided I was never going to try to go the "stealth" road. Society, and particularly the subset of it I was a member of, really needed me not to. I don't regret that decision... but I am worried that one day it will get me thrown into a woodchipper.

[-] cavemeat@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I share the same thoughts. I'll never be quiet or hidden, but I do think it might get me killed someday.

[-] Viclan@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

It’s really fucking sad you guys feel this way and for no good discernible reason other than hate and that you’re a small enough group that it’s easy to bully you with little to no recourse. It’s sad there are many people who can’t get their head out of their ass and look at and hear the actual people affected by this bullshit. Luckily there are many people who are absolutely disgusted by the state of the world and the hate campaign against trans people, hopefully we’re enough to protect you guys. I got a little brother I’m getting gray hairs worrying about with all this shit man, but I try to keep in mind that there are good people out there. Lots of support at rallies and protests I’ve been to

[-] cavemeat@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

This is actually quite comforting, thank you.

I'm a cishet white guy, I'd never heard anything from Mannarino before and I already want to punch his face so bad.

I mean, these are the descendants of people who burned witches at the stake.

[-] Tetra@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

I didn't know about her either, but from what I'm reading she's literally just a trans girl who got popular on TikTok and... that's it? It's pathetic that the mere EXISTENCE of trans people, and in this case just the fact that other people are okay with them existing, is enough to make conservatives shake in their boots. It's downright ridiculous.

[-] exohuman@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Sad part is that the only thing they are mad at her for is existing. That’s a shame.

[-] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

This is the guy who makes tons of "t-slur semen" posts, right? The name is familiar from what an absurdity he is. He's a strategist? Really?

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 12 points 2 years ago

I kinda miss the days when Tony the Tiger made headlines for being grossed out of Twitter by horny furries.

[-] CharlesReed@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

This is hilarious, considering Kellogg's origins.

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 9 points 2 years ago

I also found away to cut down on car emissions in conservative areas, and it involves Dylan, a F-150, a gas stove on a trailer, and a gas furnace on the same trailer :3

The next boycott is gonna be painful, lol.

[-] DrPop@lemmy.one 9 points 2 years ago

So a person who I didn't even know existed until they started freaking out poses with a mascot and it's time to boycott. It's not like when Trump literally promoted Goya products while president. I just want to feel safe and not have to worry about is my conservative dad is going to hate me for coming out as trans.

[-] cowvin@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

I can't remember, are conservatives for or against "cancel culture?"

[-] freebrick@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

are conservatives for or against "cancel culture?"

Yes

[-] iso 6 points 2 years ago

It's the sinilar to how men say that "women are so emotional and can't think rationally" just to have a massive rageful tantrum when the dishwasher isn't empy or Greg at work told him that his car isn't the best or something.

It's actually the conservatives who are the snowflakes, who are the ones that get triggered by almost everything, and who then proceed to cancel said thing

[-] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Pssht anger isn't a real emotion like those wammens get! It's just how real men get things done!

shotguns beer, crushes it against forehead.

The neural hardware that lets humans go, "Except for me, of course" interests me. Someday, we'll be able to analyze it, and I am absolutely reading those papers.

[-] rastilin@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

They're for using power and lies to hurt people. Actually that's pretty much what they've always been about. Even if you read stuff from the 1800s it's the same pitches by the same general group of people.

[-] Col3814444@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

That are forgainst anything and everything depending on what the latest ‘hate week’ favourite is on right wing media.

[-] Melody@lemmy.one 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hahahahahaha!~

I love it. Let's have her pose with every brand that she can; so that the conservatives get tired of trying to keep up with the brands they're cancelling. 👿

[-] storksforlegs@beehaw.org 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

He has joined the league of commercial mascots who now strike fear into conservatives. Tony the tiger, a lady M&M, a chicken, Surly the bud light beer bottle... who else? Lol

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 7 points 2 years ago

This is so silly, I actually giggled. It just seems so performative and fake, lol. Also damn Dylan is looking good as hell in those pics.

The "all in" cereal is a sin before God though. Mixing 5+ brands of cereal into a bag doesn't make it better, that just makes the base cereal a mishmash of conflicting flavors.

And yet, despite its obvious shallowness, it works so well.

[-] prorester@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

When conservatives suddenly cancel the right thing

confusion

[-] Umechan@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago

Why can't Kellogg's go back to their wholesome familly values of being far too concerned about preventing young boys from masturbating? /s

Somehow Mannarino wasn't marked on Shinigami eyes so I went ahead and reported him as anti trans

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you for your service.

[-] Silver_neurotic@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Oh the irony…

[-] khaleesa@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

This is just ridiculous, and really sad. She’s not hurting anyone by posing with a mascot or holding a beer, ffs. I just don’t understand why people can’t stand trans people in particular for simply existing.

[-] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Well, it's like this: When your view of the world is based on things being black or white, hierarchies being real, natural, and desirable, and you encounter someone whose very existence threatens to tear out those foundations, you can either examine your axioms and build a new foundation, or attempt to destroy that person's existence. Generally, people who have done the former don't have the anti-trans rabies.
