No worries, I don't think you're being rude at all.
The purpose of marketing is to entice people to buy a product. No normal person is so shallow that they need to see someone else exactly like him to buy something, despite what the media might have you believe. Just because I'm queer, that doesn't mean seeing another queer person drinking beer will suddenly make me wanna buy beer too. Seeing my sexuality celebrated just feels weird, creepy, and fake; seeing a mental illness being celebrated is even worse.
Following up on that, supply and demand governs everything. There is not enough demand to see gay stuff in kids shows, quite the opposite, people don't want to see any gay stuff in kids shows at all, so there will be pushback against even the slightest hint of it. Heterosexual representation is accepted (within reason) because, statistically, it is the norm. Western corporations need to understand that tolerance only goes so far.
Glad to see we're mostly on the same page on jokes against Trump when it threatens violence. If it was just making fun of his hair or speech patterns or whatever, I guarantee nobody would care. But these days most of their "jokes" are outright hateful to him and his supporters, so of course they will be condemned.
Again, no one was stopping trans people from buying beer, their mental condition wasn't stopping them from buying beer, so why advertise someone who's flaunting said condition? Cancer people can buy beer too, we don't need to hire someone who loves their cancer and give people the idea that cancer is actually a good thing.
There is not enough demand for shoving gay people in everything, let alone kids shows, even for a 1-second kiss. Just because people are more willing to tolerate queerness, that doesn't mean queers should be in everything. I'm queer myself and even I think kids stuff should be off limits.
Depends on the joke. If it involves threatening harm against survivors, then yes, those are absolutely harmful and aren't jokes at all, they deserve every ounce of condemnation they get. If it's just dark humor, then it's fine.
Video games don't make people violent, but cranking out content about killing Trump, and making him out as the worst guy since Hitler, absolutely pushed people into actually trying to kill him, and assault anyone who voted for him.
There was nothing stopping trans people from buying beer before, and there's nothing stopping them now. They hired him because his trans, to show that it's cool to be trans when its not, it's unhealthy and self-destructive. Calling people's concerns a conspiracy theory these days is basically a confirmation.
Surrogacy and in vitro fertilization still requires the fusion of a sperm and egg, which is a heterosexual process. If there's no need, then the pushback shouldn't be a problem.
Mean-spirited jokes about killing someone and parading his corpse are harmful; at the very least they're disturbing and suspicious. It make sense that the person targeted, and his followers, would take them as a threat. And their fears were validated when two people tried to assassinate him.
Why else would they market a trans person? And I already said it that using a schizo in the same manner would’ve been just as bad, and seen as encouraging schizophrenia.
Gay people can only adopt kids, who have been made through heterosexual intercourse. There’s no need to put homosexuality in kids stuff, the fact that people (not necessarily you) get triggered by the pushback only makes supporters look more suspicious.
I never said anything about any jokes being off limits, nor have I seen anyone push for such things. I’m saying that there is merit in criticizing leftist “jokes” since they border on threats.
I'll say again: transgenderism should not be celebrated, it should be treated like the disease it is. Putting a trans woman on a drink says it's ok to be sick and delusional. Nobody agrees with that, and nobody wants an ugly dude in a dress and wig on their drink. If the cis man's schizophrenia was celebrated and emphasized in the marketing, it'd be equally as bad.
Most people are straight, and straight people make kids. If you wanna tell kids about gay people, wait till they're older, otherwise put it in a movie or show where it won't stick out like a sore thumb.
I have yet to see anyone angry that a woman is the playable character in GTA 6. If there is, they are an extreme minority even among right wingers. I've only seen people worry that GTA 6 will be woke. If you need proof, just look at the development team, and remember that it's current year, meaning every major gaming company has gone woke.
When conservative comedians hold a severed Biden head, post paintings of Captain America holding Biden's head, and make mock-plays of stabbing Biden like Caesar, then you can compare the two. Otherwise, the jokes rightwingers made of Biden and his supporters aren't at all the same as what leftwingers say about Trump and his supporters.
Nobody wants to see a trans person on their drink. Transexuality/transgenderism is a mental disease that shouldn't be celebrated at all, let alone used as a marketing tactic.
Nobody wants to see lesbians kissing in a kids' movie.
People are concerned that the woman in GTA 6 is gonna be a woke girlboss; other than that, they have no problem with a woman being playable, other GTAs have done that.
I don't know enough about Lizzo playing a flute, but I do know people don't like her in general, especially after it was revealed that she hates other fat people.
TDS is an actual issue, and all the "jokes" I've seen from the left are mean-spirited and not funny.
None of that suggests the right are the new snowflakes. All their reactions so far have been justified and appropriate.
Those "examples" are vague descriptions that don't specify or prove anything.
What are they complaining about that’s ridiculous?
And what valid stuff are they overreacting about?
I have yet to see any examples of the right becoming the new snowflakes. Your post lacks context to say otherwise.
I <i>have</i> seen the right, and the center, and the center-left, justifiably react against the slop that’s infected their spaces the last 10+ years.
Except now it looks like someone even better took over, and its a woman too. Any attacks towards her could be seen as sexist and misogynistic.
I'm not the one who's calling the show woke, OP is. However, he's not wrong in suspecting any current western work starring women, since Hollywood has ruined its reputation so badly with its bad faith and radical agendas. It'll be years, if not decades, for people to trust them again.
<blockquote> woman in prominent roles is something that always existed. </blockquote>
Never said it wasn't. But there's a difference between having women in prominent roles, and doing it while humiliating men. The latter is what's been going on since at least 2016.
There is clearly an agenda for race, LGBT, and women.
Nobody complained back then because there was no malevolent agenda. These days there is, at least from the west.
Japan, China, and Korea make stuff with female protagonists all the time and nobody complains, well, except for leftist weirdos who are afraid of beautiful women.
Oh, they'll still set up violent riots like they did in his first term, even though he did and said nothing to warrant them, and America was the best it had been in a long time.
You know who else I haven’t seen in a while, now that I think about it? Kuatorises. Man, that guy would always start shit and then play coy about it.
Did he move on to filmboards or something? Or is he just using a different account here?
I figured. Claiming he said Trump would crash the economy sounded disingenuous.
When did Musk say that?
Either those votes for Biden were fabricated, or the left just revealed that they were the true racists and sexists all along by not showing up for a colored woman.
The first link is to an article locked behind a pay wall so I can't verify for myself, and the second doesn't say anything about him letting thousands of people in during covid.
The presidency isn't an all-powerful position, it was never designed that way. The democrats defied Trump out of spite, they over-hyped covid, they did a half-assed job in vetting supposed carriers and pushed out faulty vaccines, and they did it to spread chaos and weaken America during one of its greatest economic eras, and then they relied on your short attention span to blame Trump for everyone that got sick.
Who did Trump let in? And when?
He was actually trying to stop immigration as well as all travel, particularly from China, and leftists called him a racist and fearmonger, and then told people to socialize and party, and didn’t follow through on limiting travel and immigration, or social distancing.
The democrats defied Trump and let people in, and they got sick because of it.
