This is hilarious. Crowder is a POS.
Rusty Shackleford!
On the flip side, I say we continue to use them. Let his legacy be something completely out of his control, and let him learn that while he’s still alive.
This is the best solution.
Who? Doesn’t matter, yes
I don’t think anyone should change your mind on this one
Why, because there are only two genders?
Educate yourself.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender#Non-binary_and_third_genders
If they were capable of being educated they wouldn’t be a conservative bigot in the first place
People can change as they learn new things
And some people have a far worse starting point for knowledge depending on the preexisting information they were given
Hell I look at the things I said over 15 years ago and I hate that I had said such hurtful things about groups of people that not only now do I call my friends but some of them I have called my significant others as well
BTW I’m not sure what they said as their comment was gone before I got here
And some people have a far worse starting point for knowledge depending on the preexisting information they were given
Exactly. As the person responded with the link on Wikipedia about existence of third genders, I find that those who are anti-lgbt were just conditioned as such because of either religion, or plain homophobia, or both. I’ve lived in both religious and non-religious countries, and the former have anti-lgbt sentiment for obvious reasons. Meanwhile, homophobia in the latter-- especially in Europe–are more motivated by sheer disgust on non-heteronormative genders and less about religion. But I still think that the anti-lgbt sentiment by many Europeans is a residue and offshoot from patriarchal and homophobic teachings of Christianity.
Some people can change.
I congratulate you on becoming a better person, but I’ve given up trying to educate conservatives. Every single conservative I personally know has only gotten worse over the years, and the last straw for me was when I had one who self-identifies as a “moderate conservative” flat out tell me that he wishes gender and sexual minorities didn’t exist, and that he thinks the mere existence of these minorities is “polarizing” and makes him feel uncomfortable.
So yes, while I fully acknowledge that it’s possible for conservatives to unfuck themselves and that being dismissive of them definitely won’t help, I’m just so past trying to be the better person when all I get back is shit like thinly veiled wishes for a “final solution”. I’m so fucking tired of the onus being on progressives for trying to make conservatives better people
Got’em lmaoooooo
Uff, if wikipedia says so…
Wikipedia doesn’t assert anything, it simply compiles information found in other sources. Which it cites.
As opposed to the dumbass comment that the mods removed?
It’s just a scientific fact, based on reproductive anatomy, chromosomes and hormone levels…
Let’s see your evidence then, should be good for a laugh if nothing else.
Hmm… bear with me. When a baby is about to be born, you wonder if it is a boy or a girl, right? Or should I also ask if it is a fighter jet?
Evidence. Do you know what that is?
Here’s some in case you’re stuck:
Hey look, another bigot who can’t tell the difference between gender, sex, and the congressional industrial military complex. It must be confusing thinking that non-binary people might be tanks or cruise missiles or whatever. But it gets easier to figure out once you get that high school diploma.
I really hope that’s sarcasm.
It wasn’t
lmao what the fuck where did this come from?
Dude stfu no one is here for your insecurities lol
Hello there. I just mentioned the origin of the meme, which consisted of the guy saying that there are only two genders, and he would have to be convinced otherwise
Imagine being such a failure that you can’t even masquerade as a troll without looking pathetic holy shit lmao
Oh boy…
Got’em lmaoooooo
Edit: no jk dude im sure you’re actually really cool irl fr fr I like that you downvoted me tho.
An effective troll doesn’t get emotion pal 😭 go be a tryhard somewhere else. I heard 4chan is cool.
Emotional, tryhard… Are you ok? Get well, get well soon.
You’re either a child who needs the last word or
And yet I pulled more bitches than you without a gender, curious
Can I get a blank version my man
Why would I change your mind‽
The sign commands it
But why… Not chowder not changing any minds. simple.
Counterpoint: The rest of the Fediverse can see it too so it’s not just for Lemmy.
Can you recommend me where to get started with Star Trek?
Star Trek The Next Generation
Skip episode 1, “Encounter at Farpoint”. It sucks all around. Watch it later if you’re really curious but don’t say I didn’t warn you.
If you want to check out a “representative” episode, see Season 5 Episode 2. You don’t have to know everything going in, it’s self-contained. If you like the episode you’ll like Star Trek.
I remember really liking Encounter at Farpoint when i was a kid
Rewatching it more recently, I realized Diana’s “PAIN! I FELL PAIN!” was her sensing the audience’s reaction to the horrible episode
Like… It had a single episode worth of good episode in there but they left the other half in that should have hit the editing room floor
ETA: I had to look up what season 5 episode 2 is, and yes, that’s an excellent representation
I’d argue that the second pilot of the original series, “Where No Man Has Gone Before” is also a excellent overall introduction to Star Trek: cerebral rather than action oriented, the focus on the people and their relationships both with each other and their own humanity, asking questions of the audience to make us think, solid message (“absolute power corrupts absolutely”)…
But definitely skip the original pilot, The Cage, in its standalone form. Watching that, we were damned lucky it didn’t get shitcanned fully right then and there
To be fair, he is racist too!!!
And sexist, homophobic, antisemitic, the whole right wing dipshit starter pack.
Honestly I don’t remember anything directly antisemitic from him, some of his guests were, if I remember correctly, but not directly from him. Do you happen to know an example of him being openly antisemitic? Not that it matters, he probably is in private.
I might be mistaking him with one of the other major grifters; the Venn diagram between racists, homophobes, transphobes, and antisemites is a circle.
The problem is just the meme is misused. It should only be for intentionally bad takes
Memes change. That’s literally how they work.
Never heard of the man. Sometimes I wish we the internet would pay more attention to people that inspire us than to people that disgust us.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
The only meme I see in this version is one complaining about needing to use this version over the original one.
It isn’t helping.
In fact, because the name is spelled-out, more people now know about the guy.
Yeah, the original meme is clowning the guy, showing that he’s an idiot with frivolous opinions
Only use the original macro for dunking on Crowder.
Agreed
