  • Wether it’s acceptable or not is irrelevant to scrolling through social media or the existence of memes, moth or otherwise. Seeing some memes after years of people endlessly posting about the various conflicts, (because you are tripping hard of you think no one has been talking about the genocide on this website…) doesn’t imply anyone thinks its “acceptable” to allow it (or is allowing it?).













  • I wish it were because being any flavor of LGBTQ+ were as mundane and accepted as being left handed and didn’t warrant a month of special attention… but I know its because most of these companies didn’t really care to begin with, and that rainbow capitalism was just overwhelmed by a hostile and violent political movement in the US.

    What’s a little extra disappointing, is how much of that seems to have only existed for the sake of the US market to begin with. I would have preferred to see us isolated like a theocratic regime and only have the marketing changed for us. At least then I could say its because they see us sliding backwards and are reacting to that. Instead it becomes more obvious it was purely a 100% commercial.

    I kinda always knew it… but its still sad to have it confirmed.




  • I work with special needs adults. Your experiences, while valid, with many of those that arent so disabled that they actually can engage with society, do not represent those with more extreme versions of this disability.

    Often they will never get to experience the fullness of life they could without. Basically, people with Downs who dont have caretakers with means are fucked pretty hard.

    Of the 6 I interact with daily, I think they all would rather not have the disability, and 2 have said they would trade places with the guy in the wheel chair that has seizures sometimes, but is otherwise living a normal life.
