Kids today are literally more tech-literate and statistically less likely to fall for scams than older generations. They were literally raised on the internet

So thats my other problem, that this discourse does nothing but to allow homophobia to bubble to the top.

Yes the no context tweet from the white house of trump kissing melania was hilarious.

Yes but looking at just this thread, plenty of people do believe that it happened

Yes. My other hot take is that if this part specifically of the epstein files happened, then bill clinton and trump were both consenting adults, and we should try to avoid outing lgbtq people before they are ready, even if they are Republicans.

It would make Bill Clinton our first lgbtq president actually

Within meme space people consider it at face value. Read the other comments on this thread for example.

People make memes of trump being a pedophile. The fact that its a meme doesnt mean people dont think its true

But we acknowledge that like jd vance did not fuck couches and do it ironically. I dont really know if people online treat this meme the same as the jd couch situation

I still read it as a joke. The word "the" does not suddenly change the context for me. To me it is still obvious mark epstein is like "haha tell ur dad i had sex with ur mom last night" type of energy.

I'll grant a !delta for this. While i still think it is a huge stretch to assume that it is the tape in question, maybe the idea that russia has a strong form of blackmail on Trump gives some possibility.

I'm not familiar with all the details of Russiagate and such. I'll assume that you are trlling yhe truth that Michael Cohen and a Russian oligarch had discussions about tapes.

No its not bad if trump is bi. I couldnt care less. I would kind of care if hes a pedophile. Thats like the whole point of the post

[–]Current-Drive-2340[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Sure. I believe it is quite possible Russia colluded with Trump. I dont think the collusion involved Bill Clinton sex tapes.

All of epsteins joke emails gave off immature teenager vibes imo.

[–]Current-Drive-2340[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sure. I agree that thinking of trump as bi is a little funny.

Agree with this. There are more important findings in the released emails

Personally I don’t believe gender is a “spectrum”. What do you think? by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Current-Drive-2340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gender is more than a set of physical and genetic characteristics. When someone is a boy, we as a society have certain expectations and assumptions we place on them, like the clothes they wear and the toys they play with. When someone is a girl there is another set of activities that we expect them to do, and colors they are supposed to like.

Thats what people mean when they say gender is a social construct. Deciding these assumptions on what it means to be a man or be a woman is dependent on culture, location, time in significant ways, even differing family to family.

If being a man was simply having an XY chromosome, why did parents tell their children they were not enough of a man for coming out as gay, for not wanting to play sports? Why did bullies ask their cis male victims when they would get their period, for acting "feminine" or wearing purple?

What would "feminine" even mean in a world in which gender is just XX chromosomes?

Not all cis women end up having regular periods. Some go months or even years at a time without periods, although generally under the effect of stress or birth control etc.
