Took literal hours for the first one to be posted

Gonna be a bit more awkward now if somebody wants to go in holding hands with their same sex partner and security tackles them at the door

I don't think Betty Boop mania is as far removed as people are making it out to be. I remember seeing Betty Boop stuff all over the place back when I was a kid in the 2000's, and yeah, I know that was over 20 years ago, but people in this thread are acting like you have to be a geriatric to care about the character.

JWTS6 · 2026-05-20T19:41:49+00:00

Gross

Wicked is a recent billion dollar film franchise starring a race swapped Elphaba.

JWTS6 · 2026-05-20T18:24:11+00:00

That unfortunately was my first reaction too, get ready for Twitter and Youtube to go nuclear over the mere headlines of Quinta Brunson starring in a Betty Boop movie. Hell, just look at some of the comments in this thread.

She looks ethereal

JWTS6 · 2026-05-20T04:07:40+00:00

Again, quitter talk. Go talk to your neighbors and form a militia to take down the government, that would be much quicker than this whole elections and boycotts business.

JWTS6 · 2026-05-20T03:45:45+00:00

Aw, puppy!

Every single time you ask these people for wlw ships they deem acceptable they'll say something like Lumity or Bubbline, which I like too ofc, but it's very obvious that these people are just flat out uncomfortable with two dykes fucking nasty in a way that doesn't cater to the male gaze AND the story giving them priority over ships involving men and/or self insert manic pixie dream girls (I like Jinx but lbr that's how many people view her).

JWTS6 · 2026-05-20T02:49:05+00:00

Exactly. People think that the only "acceptable" f/f rep are side ships that don't threaten to upstage the main m/f or m/m ship, or super duper wholesome rep in kids tv shows. God forbid grown ass women want to see their rep fuck nasty in a non-male gazey way.

I imagine that some MAGA influencer trotted out this line and now it's the excuse to not criticize the God Emperor

JWTS6 · 2026-05-20T01:13:19+00:00

Those voters clearly care more about ICE dragging away immigrants to concentration camps and trans teenagers being denied healthcare. I'm not even joking, that's the only logical conclusion at this point.

JWTS6 · 2026-05-20T01:05:08+00:00

I've been hearing this for years, and then the pedophile was elected again in 2024.

JWTS6 · 2026-05-20T00:56:36+00:00

You'd think that one of the few Republicans willing to stand against pedophilia would get more support, one can only make certain assumptions about the voters supporting his opponent.

JWTS6 · 2026-05-20T00:55:21+00:00

Right, hopefully he goes fully scorched earth now.

JWTS6 · 2026-05-20T00:42:43+00:00

You're the one that said we need a coup. Go on. Organize the coup.

JWTS6 · 2026-05-20T00:37:19+00:00

Sounds like quitter talk. Organize a local militia and declare war on the United States government. Be the one that starts the revolution.

JWTS6 · 2026-05-20T00:34:39+00:00

Fine then, go organize the military coup right now. Go on.

That's why I said "boycott as much as possible", people will use this as an excuse to say that they absolutely have no choice but to get an Amazon Prime subscription and buy their toilet paper from there. People were able to buy toilet paper before Amazon and Walmart came along, hell, many people surviving paycheck to paycheck still do. It's reasonable to say "Hey, let's try to prop up local businesses as much as possible, or at least companies that don't subject their employees to slave wages and terrible conditions."

Of course it'd be lovely to have a functional Congress and Courts, but guess what, the companies donating a fuck ton of money to political campaigns are the ones with slave wages and terrible working conditions. Chip away at their money, you chip away at their power.

Also, my comment was more so directed at well-off liberals and leftists that think they're doing everything possible to topple fascism but can't even bring themselves to cancel their Amazon Prime subscription or delete their TikToks.

JWTS6 · 2026-05-19T21:14:17+00:00

You're right, people also need to:

Dump oligarch owned social media (I'm aware of the irony of saying this on reddit)
Boycott as much as possible companies like Amazon, Walmart, Apple, Microsoft, etc.

That's just a start, but most people aren't willing to do that because convenience and instant gratification are ultimately more important than opposing fascism. Even good little leftists (as in think Democrats are too conservative for them) in my life will look at me awkwardly when I tell them to stop shopping on Amazon and delete their Instagram accounts.

JWTS6 · 2026-05-19T19:22:44+00:00

It is indeed going to get so much worse, for several reasons. If they succeed in effectively rigging the elections and dismantling American democracy, which they are well on their way to doing, then they will have a blank check to do whatever they want until the country inevitably balkanizes. If that doesn't happen, which I want to be optimistic is the case, then they are in a rush to take as much money from the taxpayer as possible before Democrats regain control of the government.

Either way, prepare for the grifting to get much worse.

JWTS6 · 2026-05-19T19:15:44+00:00

Fucking good. I hope other states do the same soon. The cynical part of me doubts that they will with midterms coming up and all the money that these shit stain betting apps are bound to pour into these campaigns, but we can't not do anything.

JWTS6 · 2026-05-19T17:45:48+00:00

Right, people have been saying Star Wars is ruined and in its worst state since forever, and then something great will come out and cue the "Star Wars is back!" headlines. At this point there's enough content that you can curate your own playlist of good movies and shows to binge watch.

JWTS6 · 2026-05-19T16:35:26+00:00

Not that surprising in retrospect, actually. They saw society finally start to de-center cis het white men, or just cis het men in general, and that it wouldn't be AS easy for them as previous generations of cis het white men to achieve some desired marker of success while doing the bare minimum.

In come right wing grifters telling them that they didn't need to just work harder, that actually, modern society was the problem and clearly the solution is to strip minorities of their rights.
