Not to say I'm a fan of Trump, but personally I think Dems should've pulled their shit together instead of just using "vote da lesser ebil" as a crutch again when that only barely worked in 2020

The irony is Republicans are also using the "lesser evil" argument to try and retain support this election. "It's bad now, but it'd be worse if the Democrats win"/"It's bad now, but it'd have been worse under the Democrats."

I kinda like the fanart of People showing US America's true face over a concert cancellation.

Y'all voted for this (or didn't vote enough against it), live with the racist consequences

It's been happening even before. Even important concerts and sports events had to be cancelled or delayed because immigration decided to be a bunch of "A-holes". So no, it wasn't even that.

Some say this was retaliatory too, against Forever Young, who is leaving everyone in ridicule. Probably a power move, screw against Cyber Agent for sponsor so many races in USA soil. AND BEFORE SOMEONE SAID ANYTHING, yes ... people can be that petty, even if it's for annoying someone.

The concept of a person radicalized by the cancellation of the Uma concert of all things seems insane to me

History has a lot cases where the most minor and most random of things somehow created a domino effect that still can be felt today.

Anyone else feel that this guy's role in Zero was pointless?
Not Gilles, just him.
Back when I first watched Zero I couldn't stop thinking how the writers just put him in the story to get a bunch of cheap shock value with his killing spree

AI slop

Isn't it sad that dictatorship and authoritarianism are becoming more and more embraced by the public in that denying people's creative liberty of using AI is seen as good and widely encouraged, and those who use AI are eligible to be harassed and discriminated? Does it feel great to have power over people you think are inferior to you, control them, and denying them of their rights? Go ahead and hate me and down vote me. You're only proving me right.

All I said is that I was mildly perturbed at the idea of dying and being conscious in the form of a soul, then finding my likeness getting butt blasted by George Droyd before an elven-looking Caucasian man hands us both a white monster and we both get UFOโ€™d into Agartha.

funneling her book/movie/show profits into anti-trans charities and foundations

I'm gonna need a source on that, because all I heard was that she wanted a shelter for abused women to stay for women instead of also allowing men in, and absolutely nothing else. And even so, it seems to have been deformed into your usual "trans women are not women" thing by people who hate her for reasons that are still unclear.

Well, in this case, she donated 70k to a group which attempted to legally define womanhood in a way that excluded trans women,, specifically to enshrine a definition of womanhood in Scottish law that excludes trans women, and the shelter you describe is one that neither provides services to nor hires transgender women, defining womanhood as cis womanhood.

All this aside, I don't get how genderswap characters should have anything to do with transsexuality. This is (should be?) an AU where Malfoy would be a cis woman regardless...

What is next, will Endmin and almost every gacha protag be tagged as transgender too, since you actually get to change gender at will there? (please don't actually do it, I'm trying to illuminate the issue here, not give ppl any ideas).

Thank you, I appreciate that. I read the two articles, and it bothers me to admit it, but it does seem the hate against Rowling is legit, and not just a case of miscommunication. That sucks, but then again. I like Alfred Hitchcock's movies despite the dude being a giant piece of shit. I'll stick to enjoying Harry Potter while not liking the author.
Thank you again for taking the time to link to actual, real articles.

In this particular case, I'd make the distinction that Alfred Hitchcock is incapable of profiting from being a giant piece of shit, due to being dead, while Rowling is alive and continuously funneling her profits into anti-transgender activism.

But, yeah, I never mind linking sources. If I'm going to make a claim, I should be ready to demonstrate why I believe in it, right?

I dunno, that fat fuck profiteed from being a director big time. I heard he slept with pretty much all his actresses, except the one from The Birds. That's why she gets slapped in the face with said birds. That bloked certainly enjoyed his position and never paid for it, and it pisses me off because I genuinely like his movies.
At least people are talking against J.K. Rowling.

I dunno, given my comment asking for sources has been so downvoted that it's now hidden by default, giving proper sources doesn't seem a given. That's why I appreciate there's at least one person able to give proper sources instead of "dude just trust me" like I saw so often before.
Even if it hurts me to admit that Rowling is that bad of a person that I disagree with her. I mean I already mocked the fact that she named a black guy "Shacklebolt", but like, there's a difference between laughing at a blunder and see her specifically go out of her way to be a twat.

Why are you guys acting like this is the first Malfoid? This one is listed as from 2 years ago and this other one...

... from 5 years ago. And if you look at the sources it's actually from 7 years ago.

You're right, it's definitely not the first time someone ever came up with the idea of genderswapping Draco. Even redteneri said that their own initial genderswapped Malfoy drawing was "kinda inspired" by this very one by grizz.

The wonder and awe isn't about it being the first ever draco_malfoy genderswap image (which undoubtedly came into existence shortly after the first book was released, long before little Tommy Felton ever slicked his hair and put on the green and silver). It's about seeing the ultimate inspiration of the current viral trend.
