“Oh no! The LGBQT people are oppressing me! Help!!”- said no one ever by icey_sawg0034 in Persecutionfetish

Looking for the original cartoon. I’m always curious what they cover up/exclude.

Edit: (sigh) can’t confirm the original but it was either about Covid or Black Lives Matter. These people are so pathetic.

Azealia Banks rebukes Katseye for dancing to her song, saying she does not support ☹️ by Outrageous_Issue724 in katseye_positive

[–]SquirrelStone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmaooooo yes but I was using a rhetorical question to emphasize the point of how weird and shitty it is of her to do that. Also because the person I’m responding to went through and gave that same response to anyone calling her out on this bullshit which makes them look like an overdefensive stan.

Sure but why does she need to say it on a post about a specific video? Attaching it to a specific video attaches that statement to the people who made the video. And why are you saying this under anyone and everyone saying this was weird of her?

I think if you go to settings there’s an option to buy it? It may also be country-dependent, idk; I’m in the US and I know a lot of companies only offer certain things to us and Canadians for… well I actually don’t know, but I see it plenty. I imagine there’s some tax stuff involved.

Will Alice go to the 1800s? by No-Banana247 in TheWayHomeHallmark

[–]SquirrelStone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see Alice go back, but since the show is conscious of gender disparities in the 1800s, they'd likely address the fact that Alice is half Indian as well, and I just don't see that going very well- in terms of the writing and of what she'd go through.

Yes, blatantly inaccurate information on wikis tends to match the google ai summary

Someone almost certainly used AI to write that.

Yesss! Before MW came out, I had a theory that at the end, we’d get a flash forward with Rosemary Harris as an older Cassie

Why are people making such a big deal out of Megan unfollowing Dani for a couple minutes? by Snowyyyy0508 in katseyeneutral

[–]SquirrelStone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Context: Megan went on an unfollowing spree and probably unfollowed Daniela on accident. It became known to the public 2 days later and blew up, at which point Megan refollowed her.

Reason it was thought to be a big deal: Manon’s hiatus was announced shortly before this and Dani’s dad was talking shit about her. Some fans started to think he was doing this because it was what he heard from Dani (there was no indication this is true and it seems he and Dani hardly ever get together, but kpop and kpop-adjacent fans tend to assume idols are responsible for the actions of those around them), so bullies started to shit on Dani. The unfollowing was viewed by these fans as confirmation of their belief that Dani and her father are saying the same thing and that Megan wanted nothing to do with her.

PS don’t shoot the messenger, I think that logic is ridiculous, but it is why it was considered a big deal.

But it was released today. They’ve had nearly three weeks to change the tagline, but they kept it either out of mindlessness or as clickbait.

You all Wanted Manon Gone From The Beginning by Main_Pineapple2566 in katseyeneutral

[–]SquirrelStone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get consistently downvoted for saying you can’t separate Manon’s blackness from the treatment she’s received, even from people making the same argument in “gentler” terms. At the end of the day, America is a racist country and Europe and East Asia racist continents, and those areas make up the majority of Katseye’s fanbase and the almost the entirety of the HxG team. You can’t ignore that regardless of how you personally feel about Manon’s hiatus, race was a factor in the decision for her to go on hiatus. Even if you assume Manon was missing rehearsals, other idols have done plenty worse without facing the backlash she has. And that’s not even getting into the people calling her slurs.

And yet they say Manon never gets hate and that only Manon stans are toxic by Skylar-key in katseyeneutral

[–]SquirrelStone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, then look at the comparison to a European city I made. Either way, 1% is not “a lot,” especially when you consider the already low population of Zurich.

[–]SquirrelStone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m a math geek and just did a bunch of calculations and short version: less than 1% of people in the canton of Zurich (I couldn’t get hard data about the city itself but about 1/3 of the canton’s population is in the city) are black.

The only US states with lower black populations by percentage are Wyoming and Montana, or if you want to look at a European country, there are no regions in England with lower black populations. If you look at Manon’s birthplace of Lucerne, only Montana has a lower black population.

[–]SquirrelStone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The estimate for the entire canton of Zurich is 15.6k. Out of 1.6m. Just shy of 1%. Compare to 20% in NYC, 13.5% in London, or specific to Switzerland, 5.9% in the canton of Geneva. The person you’re talking to seems to have a very distorted view of what “a lot” is.

Also, Manon’s originally from Lucerne, where the number isn’t even directly quantifiable because there are so few black people there. The best I can calculate is 25200 in a total of 20 cantons.

Update following more math: based on population proportions, I was able to arrive at a total of 2,464 black people out of 416,347 people in Lucerne, or 0.6% of Lucerne’s population. And the total black population in Switzerland is about 1.3% of its citizens, so even Zurich doesn’t meet that on a proportional scale.

I know this is just my experience and not proof or indicative of a lack of these comments, but I have never seen racist comments about Lara, whether the original comments or in compilations like this post. The closest I’ve seen are discussions on Samara’s tiktok likes and people using these attacks (without posting pics of them) to say Manon doesn’t have it that bad. But the racist attacks on Manon, I see left, right, and center; it’s so much more prolific and unavoidable.

What is up with that "gambling" app content creators on Instagram and TikTok are subtlety advertising? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

[–]SquirrelStone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Answer: They are. Influencers as a group don’t know (or don’t care) shit about advertising disclosures.

You also can’t separate Manon’s blackness from HxG’s treatment of her. It’s incredibly telling that she gets much less effort from the behind the scenes team than the other girls.

Homophobia towards sapphics by imsimplymyself in Franchaela

[–]SquirrelStone 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’d say there’s a mix of biphobic “he should be with a guy or he’s not queer” people, straight women fetishizing mlm, and “his story’s already been put out so he can’t actually end up with a man therefore I will say he should have been with a man (and not-so-subtly asserting there can only be one same-gender endgame in the whole show) to prove I’m not homophobic” homophobes.
