I was once turned away for a scheduled covid vaccine at a Rite Aid that had been bought out by Walgreens because one of the pharmacy assistants couldn't figure out how to put my gender into the system.

Should really be a pickup truck.

Because the internet has a thing for identifying with assholes. Look at Rick Sanchez or Dennis Renolds or Starship Troopers or Warhammer 40K or Helldivers. Take any character or group that's explicitly coded as terrible in the source material, hand it to the Internet, and they'll start making memes about it and eventually unironically decide that character is legitimately great actually. And the people spamming the shit everywhere will always act as though such a thing could never happen.

Meanwhile in the US...

No, it makes fence-sitters feel like there's something to identify with in a baby eating lunatic and slowly shifts the Overton window further and further toward normalizing straight up evil.

This is the second comic I've seen from this artist and they both feel super transphobic or at the very least doom spiral dysphoria-embracing.

I know you've probably gotten this feedback a lot, but this whole crusade of yours of trying to reduce decentralization on Lemmy is really counterproductive. If Lemmy users wanted centralization they wouldn't be on a decentralized protocol.

Consolidation is a terrible idea across the board.

This is cool, but I'm still waiting on a way to play Secret of Mana online that's actually viable.
