Not liking the new Marvel movie is fine. Making it about race or sex is what makes you a racist for not liking the new Marvel movie. This thread apparently thinks those people don’t exist lol
Eh, while it’s not as common as other political psychosis, I have directly been told, “you just don’t like strong women.” to my face, for saying I didn’t like how they utterly failed to develop Rey as a character in the new Star Wars trilogy and the movies suck over all.
Apparently wanting good, cohesive writing where main characters actually have lessons to learn and growth to do makes me a sexist to them, all because I can point to Luke, a guy, failing a bunch?
In my case, this was literally in person to my face from a coworker with little media analysis skill. I never even made unclear statements beyond, “I don’t like Rey”, with further explanation about how her character development is highly lacking. Not the actress or anything like that, even.
Don’t be the equivalently stupid person on the other side of the coin, constantly refusing to admit that those internet weirdos are actual people in the real world somewhere.
I have directly been told lots of nutty things. Just yesterday someone told me that my nickname in a video game was affecting my lag. That doesn’t make any sense.
Why does this bother you unless you actually have an issue with women? The fact that you’re complaining about it indicates that it is meaningful to you.
Lol, free speech isn’t dead just because people criticize your opinions. You’re not being silenced because people argue with you, and no one is arresting you for your opinions. Climb down off your cross.
I feel like the kind of person who would claim there is no freedom of speech anymore would take this challenge and go shout “FIRE” in a movie theatre or “BOMB” in an airport.
We still have freedom of speech, for now. While the brainlets on twitter and other social media censor eachother, we can still say and think whatever we want. Its just that people are pushed by it into one of several dumbass corners that many ideas appear lost.
Luckily, platforms like lemmy emerge to hopefully counter some of that effect.
No see i think there is a problem with Lemmy. Its not seeking to be a new space that fills a need and slowly expand. Its already trying to be a clone of something else. Hoarders came in and moved in all their junk and now its to full of crap to see or move around in. And the forced identity effect is still happening cause it was built upon a communist graveyard and we are haunted by ghosts of people saying the only way forward is still back.
yeah but having a less restricted space is ideal for exploring fresh ideas. if you have a platform trying to do specifically that, i think you also end up with extremism.
Im not saying lemmy is the perfect platform, but the decentralized nature of it is potentially a way to a more free platform. Mainly because advertisers dont get to fuck it up.
Well, yeah. Both Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel were met with extreme vitriol from people who would rather not see a woman in their super hero universe. Should we expect those people to have gone through a maturation process in the last 4 years?
Think about taxing the rich? THAT’S SOCIALISM
Ponder if an apartheid state is doing a genocide? ANTISEMITISM
Don’t like the new Marvel movie? SEXIST! RACIST!
Freedom of speech died long ago and now there is no flow of ideas, even incrementally. We’re in big trouble

Some people really DO need to “touch grass”.

Being misunderstood, even by dumbasses, is meaningful to me.
I value competent communication, and voluntarily misconstruing someone is peak failure to listen.

But everyone has to listen to me loudly whine about being silenced when I’m up here…
Freedom of speech is just fine. Call me when the government arrests you for something you say.

Decentralization is an extremist position, to be fair.
How so?
Just reminded about this eposode. It even has english subs.
Kinda sus on that third question
I have seen this argument used against people who didn’t like the Marvels.
