it's sad when I don't even know which massacre is being discussed, or even which theater of war or era - there are just too many examples
the reason this doesn't work as a LinkedinLunatic post is that there isn't any bootlicking, we needed a twist at the end where she somehow brings it back to a bootlicker's perspective
like the end needs to reveal this was an ad for her pillow company, and she was actually trying to sell us on the efficiency of the pillow as an opportunity for employers to cut labor costs and wages and a reason people should just settle for a body pillow instead of a livable wage
you should probably feel some amount of discomfort with your own views and be willing to adjust them as your exposure to better reasoning and evidence supports a different view
but I also don't think we should have obligatory "both-sides" on everything either, sometimes it's OK to have a consensus, like the Holocaust was wrong - I'm OK that most people on Lemmy agree with that view
this feels like a potentially sincere attempt to recruit people into an anti-science conspiracy movement - this doesn't really feel different than the kind of reasoning you see with moon landing denialists or flat earthers.
The replies in this thread are disturbing, giving me a sense that Lemmy has a misogyny problem; maybe I was naïve, but I expected outrage about 4chan doxxing women trying to protect one another, instead I see lots of revenge enjoyment as if being doxxed on 4chan is justice for ... warning one another about dangerous men they encounter when dating?
The inability to empathize and take seriously the threats posed to women or to understand their motivation to protect one another is alarming.
There is no good faith extended, but also no evidence presented that instead of safety the app was just for gossip, it's just taken as assumed that women are wrong for using Tea and they all deserve to be doxxed.
Pascal has been a vocal ally of the transgender community, frequently using his platform to advocate for trans rights. At the UK premiere of “Thunderbolts,” he wore a shirt reading "Protect the Dolls," a term of endearment for transgenderism.
I wonder if the author of the article realizes "transgenderism" is a right-wing, anti-trans term?
EDIT: ah, it looks like the author of that blog is probably anti-trans and holds other right-wing views: https://old.reddit.com/r/blankies/comments/rcczql/can_someone_give_me_context_for_the_film_blog/
Meanwhile the kids where I am shout "Vote Trump" and have never heard the Hollywood Access tape because they were children when it came out. It's a mixed bag.
let's keep it that way, the right-wing should be unwelcome everywhere
FYI Texas has been marked as a "do not travel" state on Erin Reed's trans risk map: https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/final-pre-election-2024-anti-trans

PS1 was released in North America in Sept. 1995, 30 years ago.
So the grandpa was born in 1967 to be 28 in 1995, which does make him 58 in 2025.
Still, it sounds more like the grandpa was buying the PS1 for his 8 year old son in 1995.
