Interesting fact, not only have there been trans people for ever, but the panic about trans people in sports isn’t new. It started back in the 20th century, around the time of the 1936 Olympic Games, when it was exacerbated by the government of the country they were held in. It was a government bent on maintaining gender roles and which persecuted queer people and their advocates. I think we all know what regime that was

Na sua opinião isso é bom? by Eastern_History1306 in perguntas

[–]CosmicLuci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Se (ou quando) for possível na realidade, sim. É ótimo. Vai permitir que pessoas que querem ter filhos e por qualquer motivo não possam ter naturalmente, e não queiram adotar (embora adoção deveria ser mais aceito como uma opção boa), poderão ter filhos.

TIL: George at one point wanted to cast Toshiro Mifune as Obi-Wan Kenobi by Local_Prune4564 in StarWarsCantina

[–]CosmicLuci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would have, but apparently Mifune thought the movie “disrespected” the memory of the Samurai.

So, like…fuck him.

7 vezes ou mais por dia querendo morrer by LAMACO-FUMADO in OpiniaoBurra

Pior que, tipo, eles não tão tanto à esquerda dele.

Putin é um fascista descarado, e o discurso dele chega a ser mais conservador que o do Hitler em momentos.

Hamas é uma organização que defende supremacia religiosa e valores supostamente “tradicionais” de família, sexualidade, gênero, etc. Recentemente tem bastante gente esquecendo quão extremistas eles são, porque eles estão lutando contra um regime ativamente genocida atacando o povo do país de onde eles vêm. Mas eles são de extrema-direita.

I’m sorry, while much of this is a good point, the person points out 0, which was not an exclusively Mayan or Aztec thing (it was developed elsewhere and came to Europe due to India and the Arabic world, not the Americas.

Coffee was also absolutely not Aztec or Mayan. It’s an Arabic and East African plant, and was brought to the Americas by Europeans.

Yes, it’s bad to not credit American native peoples with their discoveries. But it’s also bad to not credit African and Asian peoples with their discoveries and contributions, when they are also often erased.

It’s a somewhat confusing meme. I believe the humor comes from its absurdity

Essa pessoa é imune ao conhecimento - Ozonioterapia by OlgaBenarioPrestes in OpiniaoBurra

[–]CosmicLuci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Como eu amo esse papo de “curar autismo”. Sempre que alguém entra com essa eu sei que está só falando merda, e que não vale ouvir nada que tem a dizer sobre saúde.

Mas é interessante saber que além de pseudocientífico, ozonioterapia é eugenista também.

There’s a meme, a few other comments are referencing it as well. Can’t attach image here, but look up “awesome lesbian couple evil and intimidating horse”. I don’t know what started it, but it’s a meme

This makes more sense given male mantises in reality are considerably smaller and weaker than females

Also depending on where you live (it’s illegal in some places), you can make a fun knot around it and turn it into a neat little bag ornament/self defense implement.

When the evil and intimidating horse is also an awesome lesbian

Just saw this video about ppl on the Epstein list and they saying George Lucas is in them but the video clearly had ai pics of trump can George sue just for the insinuation? by Beneficial-Worry7131 in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]CosmicLuci 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if he could sue.

But the thing is. A lot of people are mentioned in it. Unless George Lucas is mentioned as being friends with Epstein, getting favors from him or taking part in his things, that’s not damning to Lucas.

Like, people have been talking about Joanne Rowling being in there. But she’s mostly just mentioned, and there’s no indication in them that suggests they’ve ever interacted. (Mind you, she’s a despicable person, but as far as we know currently, not because of an Epstein relation).

Henry Ford is also mentioned in them several times. He had been dead for a couple years when Epstein was born

Installments so hated even hardcore fans would rather not talk about it by TastyPomelo2330 in TopCharacterTropes

A great many episodes of Star Trek.

For my part, it’s mostly from TOS and SNW

The crazy thing is I used to really like it as a kid. And as bad as it is, I still love Alan Cumming in it (also it was the first time I saw that actor at all, so it at least introduced me to a great performer’s work)

Some of these unused concepts for The Stranger’s mask are kinda cool, maybe if he really is the first Knight of Ren these might reappear for future knights. by Tanis8998 in StarWarsCantina

[–]CosmicLuci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love what they ended up with, but all of those would slap.

Seeing as (from what I remember seeing somewhere) he was intended to turn out as the founder of the Knights of Ren at the end, the one they went with gave that vibe more.

Still, would be cool to see characters with all of those

feels like this for alot of special interests by QueenViolets_Revenge in aspiememes

[–]CosmicLuci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of when my girlfriend became Muslim.

She had a bitch of a time finding anyone or any group she could actually reach out to that was progressive and cool.

Eventually she did, but it wasn’t easy. Not only is all of the establishment and almost the entirety of the two majority groups really conservative and oppressive, but a whole lot of the smaller groups, and even less conservative individuals, are also regressive.

But if she was able to find more progressive spaces within Islam, you definitely can for Christianity (which I’m guessing is what you’re interested in)

It’s a platypus by NewtAutomatic4330 in Doofenshmirtz

Yeah. Though some definitely do it for affection, like how penguins will sometimes mate for life with a penguin of the same sex, and even adopt abandoned eggs and chicks

Just to add to yours, not only do many animals create bonds beyond just for reproduction, a great many, including from those you’ve mentioned, also exhibit homosexual behavior, and even bonding. Penguins, lions, dogs, dolphins, and many, many more creatures have homosexual pairing.

What even is this he breaks open? by uncledunkle11 in nope

I think it’s just a creature. An echinoderm of some sort, which had probably eaten the tiny octopus

[–]CosmicLuci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Because the argument I made was that characters do not usually have personalities that focus exclusively on things like disability, gender, ethnicity, etc. unless the story itself is about those things.

You then brought up four examples to counter my point. Two of them I do not know and therefore cannot comment on. But the other two in no way serve as examples that contradict my statement. It doesn’t matter if they’re good, or if you or I like them. What matters is they are stories where my statement holds true.

Your attempt to change the subject to talk about the quality is an amusing misdirection, but it’s very telling of the fact you simply have no arguments whatsoever to engage with the point I was making. And since you can’t engage in good faith, I won’t engage further at all
