I recently watched El Dorado on Netflix and it speaks on homophobia and transphobia before and during Hitler’s rise to power. The medical institute for transgender people was burned by the Nazis, destroying over 20k books. 100k people were charged with homosexuality, 50k were incarcerated with it, and an estimated 5-15k died in concentration camps. There was a notable tennis player charged with it, but criminality wasn’t ever repealed during his career so he was barred from competing internationally, where it counted. That’s one of many reasons for pride.

If you look up on the rules to abide by for the American flag, burning is indeed protected by the first amendment as a form of protest against the government. (And there are rules that it’s illegal to use the American flag as clothing, swim wear, plates, napkins, and in political campaigns. So every day especially in summer and during election year, people are breaking that rule and should be punished. Lmao!) The Pride flag is to represent a minority group that gets a lot of hate and attacks. So burning the Pride flag is indeed a form of hate crime to a minority community. Other flags such as the nazi flag and the confederate flag, as far as I know, has no protections and can be burned in protest towards a hateful group of people that should no longer exist in our modern society. Hate groups are not protected.

[@golwenlothlindel]

So, the thing about using the flag as clothing: you are allowed to reproduce the flag's pattern on a piece of clothing. That is a picture of a flag which is not considered a flag. What you may *not* do, is take an actual flag and make it into a garment. I.e. if you get given a flag, say because your loved one was killed in combat, you cannot later make a shirt out of it. However, if the fabric was not ever a flag to begin with, but merely features a pattern similar to the flag, that is fine. Also, an actual flag has to be made of fabric and specifically wool or cotton. If it is made of paper or plastic it is also, not a flag. An actual flag also has to be saluted, but a picture of a flag does not need to be. The other weird thing you can't do to flags is walk on them. Flag burning however, is considered a respectful protest. Red white and blue bunting is also, not a flag.

In the USA at least right wing political people have occasionally been very successful at co-opting terminology and taking ownership over it. Take for instance "fake news". That wasn't originally a Trump thing as everyone seems to think it is now. In 2016 when Trump was running against Hillary Clinton, it was first a term used by the Hillary camp in referring to a wave of what can only be described as fake news stories. There were these websites mimicking legitimate news websites but hosting completely false stories. They called them fake news, but Trump adopted the term and now the political right effectively owns it. It's a powerful political move because owning a term in that way can deny the opposition from using it. There are a lot of fake stories out there spread by right-wing sources but progressive people can't call them fake news anymore because people assume people who use that term are conservatives. Something like that is going on with "woke". I'm told the original definition was that it means one is aware of racial injustice. Racists can't have that. So they took the term and they mutated it beyond all recognition and turned it into a content free phrase the basically means nothing which they can map all kinds of meaning onto.

The original was rounded, kind of like an egg or melon shape, rough skin compared to what has now, and quite little of it was the soft edible flesh, not to mention it wasn't nearly as sweet.

Phobia is butchered these days. Its overuse has always irked me. To keep things simple I prefer the technical definition. "A phobia is a persistent, excessive, unrealistic fear of an object, person, animal, activity, or situation. It is a type of anxiety disorder. A person with a phobia either tries to avoid the thing that triggers the fear, or endures it with great anxiety and distress." - Definition from Harvard Health.

@@kdog3908 well, here's a kind of hot take. Bigotry and mental illness are not mutually exclusive. So, there's bound to be overlap. I have a bad habit of talking to bigots, and for a lot of them, you can back them into a corner logically, and then the irrationality comes out, and it makes less and less sense. I'm not a mental health professional, but I suspect there's something like that going on, especially with homophobia and xenophobia. The things they tell me to justify their stance sound like it's deeply rooted in their personal psychology and emotions. But I'm not an expert by any means. The most common type I've met: cishet white men who have trouble maintaining relationships and seem to think that if they can't hold onto a woman, the world will think they're gay.

[@NomadSoul76]

I think the question is what the intent of the comic is. Is it meant to be in support of homophobia or is it meant to criticize it? I think it's clearly meant to criticize it. The Christian God is supposed to be an all-loving entity who is all good all the time. But the comic depicts him choosing to make people gay knowing that that will cause them to suffer eternal torment. A god of pure goodness would not do such a thing, which is why I think it's meant to ridicule the idea that God cares about people's sexuality. You could say that it depicts homophobia, but it depicts it to mock it. It depicts a homophobic Jesus or God because such an depiction makes a mockery out of what Christians generally believe their deity to be. If the comic was meant to be anti-gay, it would never have depicted God as making people gay at birth. They generally rely upon the argument that people choose to be gay therefore it's okay to treat them hatefully. They can't say that their God makes people gay because then they would be hating people for their god-given natures.

I can remember when homosexually was illegal in the UK. Things ebb & flow but over mylife time things have got better for gay people with things like gay marriage. Now it's trans and non binary people who need the most support. Both the Conservatives and the Labour parties are being very transphobic and it feels like it is getting worse, the UK is now institutionally transphobic and in light of the Cass report that includes the NHS. 💐🦕💃👗😌🐈‍⬛😼♥️☕🥖🧀🇪🇺🇺🇦🌈🏳️‍⚧️💐

How about we teach kids useful, practical real-world skills AND how diverse the human race really is?

[@starscreamthecruel8026]

They cant do that! *False shock horror* then who would they pit against each other to divert attention away from what the government is doing?

[@arualblues_zero]

The thing about Netflix shows is that I often feel like they throw in the diversity just to get brownie points, but put very little effort in good quality writing, etc. And then interesting shows (with diversity in them) get canceled after one season as soon as the hype dies down, leaving everyone hanging and jumping to the next mediocre project.

Did the people making the seatbelt analogy not see the bit in Jurassic Park where Grant tied the two "female" ends of the seatbelt together? Love finds a way.

[@gaspachoo5046]

That’s a terrible analogy. Grant having to think quickly doesn’t justify the seatbelts being wrong.

[@starlydonati2008]

17:58 this reminds me of the backlash memes to people pointing out various hints that Gwen Stacy may be trans, one of which being her color scheme being the same as the flag. They involved the same punchline with the same horrible symbol, but it was also dragging Miles Morales into it too like if one character is trans because of a flag color scheme, then this other character must be a notZ. Apparently.

[@Lizard_Ri]

I think the miles one might have been made to show the problem in the gwen assumption

[@starlydonati2008]

@@Lizard_Ri the thing is, it was wasn’t the only or biggest clue. That was the “protect trans kids” trans flag above her door. The color schemes matching wasn’t something that would make or break the theory, but some people were mad and were willing to call someone who was helped by anarchist (who categorically don’t like NotZs) a NotZ just to prove it was silly when it was just a neat detail that fit well with a pre-established theory, not the basis of it.

The hetrochromia thing seems like an honest mistake, a person may not make it but if they mis-spell hetrochromia then autocorrect will likely go for the more commonly used word that looks like that. Well at least the first time, I seem to remember that becoming a small meme on a gay subreddit a while ago after the first pic surfaced.

[@EvanAfton10]

Autocorrect doesn’t like the words heterochromia and heterochromic, it doesn’t recognize them as correctly spelled words 😭

[@voidsatas1524]

I love when people misspell heterochromia and it is so damn funny with animals, like "This cat has homophobia in its eyes"

10:43 - As somebody who’s just now finishing up my years of education, I can confirm I never once learned about jobs, taxes or housing. The closest we got was teachers screaming “you need to know this for a career” and not elaborating. But we were also never taught ANYTHING even remotely not-straight. I learned about the community from seeing gay in The Owl House and wanting to know more. In fact, I don’t think I learned ANY important life skills in the school I went to. I’m coming out of school with a few qualifications and the social/living skills of a soggy loaf of bread. So in other words, schools aren’t being useful either way, whether it is for or against their bigotry :D

When they think Pride is being proud of who you have sex with, it just goes to show they have no concept of oppression, because the pride comes from living as who I am despite all the pressure against it

[@eric_the_egggremlin]

the seatbelt "metaphor" is very interesting to me because, like... it's assuming one side is a peen and one is a vaj. but the reason seatbelts work is that they lock. and people don't "lock" during intercourse. so really, the seatbelt metaphor isn't about peen-in-vaj sex: it's about knotting.

[@AnimeLuver0604]

The second I read "lock" I knew where you were going with that... Also, added humor is how many of them talk about being alphas.

10:43 I saw a wonderful post on Tumblr the other day, about a bunch of electricians taking the crappy "plug and socket" metaphor and saying "Um. Actually." and it was all the ways that that metaphor was completely terrible and inaccurate, purely based on different types of electrical chords. Awesome stuff going down.
