That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. <----
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

People, on average, are uncritical and prone to violence - a key component of the movies/premise.

Perhaps. I’m gonna leave that determination up to the people doing the work, though. I don’t think it’s fair to try and convince a volunteer that an additional rule is or isn’t too much work to manage.

Take for example Harry Potter. In my personal opinion, the author is a trash person, and I personally will no longer invest my time, effort, or money into their franchise. However, the stories and lore and fan base are still good. There is an actor who had a recurring (and popular) role in Star Trek: TNG (and a few episodes of Voyageur) who turned out to be a trash person. But, the memes and other content being posted about their roles are still funny and entertaining.

The difference is the creators in question aren’t the ones making that content. A webcomic about the world of Harry Potter created by someone else has levels of separation from the source material, but if JK started a webcomic, I would object to it being posted and promoted here.

I’ll voice in favor of a banlist for bigoted artists. Letting bigots and other hateful people in with “relatable” content just normalizes their hateful material, even playing into possibly intentional “onroading” on their part to their prejudiced platform. It also reinforces the idea that targets of that hate need to “play nice” if they’re not being targeted right then and there, and perpetuates the falsehood that these positions are a matter of “opinion” rather than an existential threat to the targeted.

A banlist would present a higher workload on the part of the mods, which is not something I feel can be demanded, but it would be helpful to have if the goal here is to create a welcoming environment.

MissesAutumnRains also brings up a good point (https://lemmy.ca/post/63256113/22736751) - Leaving it up to users to block bad content does nothing for new users who will have no such curation, and who will be left to assume the community is accepting of such content. Platforming hateful creators will silently push away those who find their content distasteful and entice users that agree with it to stay.

…are you under the impression that the movies are advocating for such an event? That…that’s not even close to right.

That’s still useful information to know how men feel, even if it’s problematic. “Polling” algorithms is entirely fucking useless.

News isn’t news just when it’s “surprising”.

My guess is the guy he was modeled off of in the first place.

So I will be sharing them in the order they appear in the book The Addams Family Album on Wednesdays.

Very fitting ;) Looking forward to it. Thanks!

That “highest resolution image of the moon” user on Reddit is gonna have to find a new gimmick.

except under “condition via coordinating” with the IRG.

Also known as “open”. Yes, it’s a compromise - that’s how politics works. Your argument seems to be that, since Iran didn’t just unconditionally give over their whole country to the US, Trump is a “weasely” chicken for not nuking them after getting most of what he demanded.

But yeah, the toddler is playing 5D chess lmao.

Where did I say anything of the sort?

Congrats, you’ve figured out that making shit up and ignoring most of the situation makes your babble seem almost coherent.

Calling out dangerous foolishness isn’t “siding” with its target. Both can be bad. And, again, he didn’t “weasel” out of anything. You can keep saying it, but that doesn’t mean it’s true.

“Weasels out of it”. He got what he wanted. By your standards, the only way he wouldn’t be a coward is if he nuked the country anyways.

He looks like a bloody genius compared to anybody calling the guy threatening nuclear annihilation a chicken or coward for not following through (because he got what he wanted).

wtf…
