It is so weird what kind of stuff is inside some songs, that goes totally under the radar.

Follow me from Uncle Kracker. It is sooooo catchy but honestly it’s all about cheating on your partner which I find is something that should not be encouraged. Thus guilty pleasure in my opinion
What is it that you don’t like about them? Personally I am really enjoying ‘all the things she said’ and ‘all about us’ .

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•[Meta] Posting comics from transphobic artists?
12·4 days agoYes the report button is great and helps mods a lot, but the issue is that at the moment I don’t see any rule a comic would violate when it is as the op describes safe and relatable but made by an outspoken transphobe. The question seems to be do we need or want a rule against supporting transphobia indirectly by giving the artist free cloud. Because removing the artist name is a violation of the communities rules.

192·4 days agoI would say don’t supply transphobes with free exposure and would option for the third option. Though checking and controlling for the political views of each artist may be too much work to put onto the mod team and would have to be on the poster.
Personally I am also biased against transphobes and would love it, if they would not be posted at all.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the fantasy book/series everyone should read?
2·6 days agoWhile sex is in it it was never the focus of it imho. I love the series but I do think ppl. do somewhat overstate the amount of sex that is happening. Sure it gets to be a tad bit more frequent in the later books but is not the main focus. The world building is amazing and the story is fantastic. So even if you are not too into the whole sex/romance stuff you ca enjoy the series.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•had this convo just yesterday 🤦♀️
4·6 days agoThere is nothing in the books itself that is anti trans (AFAIK and remember), it is that people equate her works with her political views which are anti trans. As a most likely trans person myself (still working out the details of it, stay tuned) I have a real struggle at my hands. On the one hand her books were a massive part of my childhood and early teens. I waited in line out side book stores to get the newest one. On the other hand she uses the money she gets from licenses and the IP to fund anti trans organisations. She also uses her fame / reach to spread TERF points of view. I enjoy and love the world she created back then but I cannot in good conscience consume anything that supports her now. Not any merch, series, film or game.
I on my ow may not make a difference but the sum is more than it parts. If enough ppl. start voicing their objection to her and her views, boycott the new stuff because of her, some change might be possible. If not, sacrificing something I loved growing up is an acceptable price to pay to keep me and others safe.

9·7 days agoI always loved the Bartimaeus books from Jonathan Stroud.
I also think if pop culture catch-up is a concern you could read Twilight and Eragon both were quite influential in my social circle at the time they were new. I have read both and I liked them too. I don’t think that they are revolutionary or the best pice of writing but they had arguably an impact.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump Called His Appointed SCOTUS Justices “Stupid People”
21·15 days agoExcellent question!
Morning, I get too warm most nights which makes me feel sticky.
I feel like the point is less about size and more about the methods. I think it aims at the issue highlighted by an other comment that this protest while good doesn’t really disrupt the system.

He always reminds me of the head servant dude there in ‘Django Unchained’ who told on them.
