Oh ok yeah I think I get it now. I guess I took the caption very literally. And I mean sure there's a time and a place for those types of replies. I probably just haven't been exposed to spammed gifs to the same extent so I misunderstood the intention of the post.
Another great analogy are those comically quick cuts in Bollywood dramas where they mix slo-mo, sped up shots, random super closeups, the same shot over and over and whatever else until you can barely make out what's even going on
I see what you mean now. I agree, in that sense you don't have to do anything. You could hold your breath until you drop dead and no one can stop you đ
I completely agree with you. Of course you'll find plenty of marginalized groups among activists since they're sensitized to it and it affects them directly. But that's still their choice.
I see this rhetoric a lot in very chronically online queer spaces and the issue I'm seeing (other than obviously putting unjustified pressure on individuals who just want a normal life) is that it reinforces the narrative of every queer person being part of "the woke left" as a homogenous blob. I think that's very misled. Also sometimes in my opinion people are literally just jealous of someone's passing status so they make up insane stuff to try and bring them down. I mean it's perfectly fine not to care about passing but you don't get to judge others for how important it is to them.
Just live your life as the woman you were always meant to be and enjoy that you have the option of doing so. You've put in work to get to that point. You don't owe anything to anyone.
It's not like this is every comment section no matter what the post is about. What I'm seeing is other people are at times engaging in a way that doesn't appeal to you and you feel the need to complain. To me that's entitlement. If you want comments just comment something. What's a rant post supposed to change?
Then I say I don't mind because I'm one of those people (not just on Lemmy, that was admittedly phrased ambiguously) and you say that's not your point. Like ok but it's the answer you're getting?
I will openly admit that I'm biased because bringing up Gen Z as a placeholder for "stuff I dislike" when GIFs are literally used by every generation (family group chats on whatsapp are very notorious for it) already ticked me off a little but I'm not trying to insult you. It's just my genuine take.
Keen eye! It's actually protestant propaganda hence a nun with a schlong rosary. But it had just as much shitpost energy at the time as it does today đ
There's a firefox extention that filters out everything irrelevant to the recipe. At this point as soon as I open the browser half my ressources go into reverting enshittification.
I do "see" inner images but they're blurry, flashing and I can't directly control them. So when I read I mostly focus on the text and faintly in the background there's a "school fight recorded by hyperactive kid" version of the plot going on.
Yeah the first time was in 2009 after the German goalie Robert Enke had committed suicide. That one hit me mostly because of his wife. She made a very emotional public statement right after.
Second time, also 2009 a month after the first, was Brittany Murphy. Just came out of nowhere and she was still so young.
Then again in 2021 when Sean Lock passed. Still not fully over it if I'm being honest. That man is irreplaceable.
Edit: I forgor but just remembered another one. Carrie Fisher in 2016. Idk why her in parcicular but it was untimely and I always liked her.
One of my favourite Lemmy features is that you can comment media in every community. I comment GIFs a lot. Haven't heard any complaints about it though. I am Gen Z though so that might be why I don't see the issue lol.
