She’s a lizard? Just like winged dinosaurs don’t count as insects, even if they have four legs.

It’s completely normal to think about another person’s romantic and sexual life 24/7, trust me!
- Comment on is it wrong/selfish to cut contact with my trump-supporting father? 15 hours ago:
While you could try to deradicalize him, you absolutely don’t owe anything to someone who not only has failed his duty as a parent to support you, but also actively opposes your rights.
(also, reminder that there is no such thing as a ‘Roman’ salute)

They don’t even idolize the Roman Empire, they idolise a version of it that fits their views. Fascists always alter the past. Otherwise they would be having gay orgies 24/7.

No shame.
- Comment on How do I stop laughing at stupid shit all the time 3 days ago:
Don’t. No matter how stupid you look, remember that it’s what makes you happy and that is a hundred more times important that people judging you. Don’t stop being a beacon of light surrounded by darkness.

- Comment on why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles? 3 days ago:
Because ‘protecting the children’ is really effective, as most people want to protect children, especially their own.
Here’s how I think it goes for a lot of people:
-
never have actually interacted with trans people
-
the first time you are introduced to trans people is a transphobic friend or pastor or podcast host or whoever. I believe it’s most effective if the person is someone you trust, especially in a position of authority.
-
they tell you trans people are evil wicked perverts, and since you trust this person and have never heard of this before, you believe it. And besides, who doesn’t want to protect children? Evil wicked perverts, that’s who, and you are not an evil wicked pervert are you? (Personally, I theorise that people are most likely to believe and keep believing whoever happens to be the first person to tell them about a certain subject.)
-
chances are, this leads to you isolating yourself from anyone who could prove you this isn’t true. If you somehow became friends with a trans person, you might understand that maybe they are not evil wicked perverts, but since your first reaction to learning someone is trans would be aggression, this is very unlikely to happen. (You could compare this to how cults isolate their members from people outside the cult to prevent them from encountering different perspectives that could change their mind.)
So, long story short: propaganda.

Ohh, that explains it. And yeah, that does sound distrubingly familiar.

Yeah, it isn’t like art can convey ideas and profound thoughts at all and never ever have fictional stories been used as a tool to talk about real events.

I’m not familiar with Star Wars, but I remember hearing something about the original movies being intended as commentary/allegory for the Vietnam war?
