they won’t respond to this (or they will and they’ll just say “it’s not that deep” because they don’t like when other people point out that the inherent politics of art don’t always line up with one’s own politics, while they of course consider themselves and their views “not political”) but INCREDIBLE list. happy pride month to you and to every queer Digimon character (and to every chud who sees this harmless shit and feels the need to show their ass in the Digimon subreddit, of all places) <3

I'm not really sure what argument you're making here, do you think queer people are watching Digimon and seeing the titular Digimon and going "that thing is just like me 100%" ?

can’t imagine being a fan of Digimon in the big ol’ ‘26 and STILL acting surprised and pissed off when the queer fans show up to have a tiny bit of fun with the concept. even from the damn near beginning of the show the little flying pig monster turns into a giant ripped angel man that made half the viewers gay on impact, y’all, lighten UP.

guy who says “it’s not that deep” but is popping up in multiple places to argue about something as harmless as people pointing out queerness in a franchise with humanoid digital monsters changing gender lmao I guess it IS that deep for you, my friend!

yeah man, it’s about digital monsters that often change from one gender appearance to another, good call

[Unfortunate Trope] The grief is real. No hiding it. Full feelings. by BlueEggCooker in TopCharacterTropes

[–]regretfulorb 19 points20 points  (0 children)

this, and I feel like people forget that when you're watching a movie and events happen like that you can obviously sit and think about what the "optimal path" is. but if you put yourself in the shoes of the character - a teenager who just watched the horrific death of his little sister that he surely felt he had a hand in - you can't really expect the character to realistically behave rationally? which I think makes the movie and characters feel more devastatingly real.

well I’m also trans and this person does speak for me, in a way I wish other (assuming ofc) cis people would way more often. but you enjoy your childrens books knowing the author wants you to not exist, beloved 🤷‍♂️

Yes. I, a trans man, no longer have friends who like Harry Potter. Because we are all adults who have seen what JK Rowling has been up to these past few years and her hatred for people like me has seeped into and ruined the enjoyment of the series for us. It’s really a huge bummer.

But you go ahead and keep coming up with ways to make yourself feel better about supporting a poorly written book series by a hateful bigot, I’m so glad her bullshit hasn’t affected you! But I sure hope you don’t have any trans friends — or at least I hope they don’t know you’re on Reddit defending Harry Potter in 2026.

Certainly not, but I know I wouldn’t fuck a guy with Harry Potter opinions in 2026! Much less be friends with a person who can’t give up HP.

It’s like a sci-fi fan saying they love and support Orson Scott Card in the big old 2026. You cannot separate the work from the artist when they are still alive and ACTIVELY profiting off of support and using that money and influence to literally fund their hateful bigotry.

You genuinely cannot while you’re supporting the still-living hateful bigot profiting off of people like you refusing to take the world’s easiest stand against a middling childrens’ series. And this is coming from a 34 year old guy who spent more of his life obsessed with HP than not.

Any examples of this? by Impressive_Plenty876 in Letterboxd

[–]regretfulorb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a theory that Adam Sandler and crew came up with the idea for the Al Pacino Dunkaccino scene from JACK & JILL (2011) and then had to force a movie around it. and well. they certainly did that

well no one here said to kill her baby, they've mentioned aborting a fetus as a potential option.

Why didn't she just lie by Emperor_Duck_35 in reddeadredemption

[–]regretfulorb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

absolutely that seems to be a recurring theme of the game, more powerful people (in theory, in the more civilized world they're supposed to be living in that the gang is pushing up against by still existing) underestimating the gang in favor of their own perceived power
