Oh you’re totally right, the feature isn’t advertised at all. I just found it one day searching. I can’t blame you for not knowing about it.

This is probably a very unpopular opinion but at a certain point I blame the user (i feel like blame is the wrong word here) . At a certain point a UI can’t cater to everything and a user needs to experiment. I feel like that’s something that’s been lost this past decade. User experimentation. “I hate autoplaying videos!” If you hate it so much why not going it he settings and turn it off. A quick Google search will…

They only added the option to turn off auto play quite recently.

“Rest of us” Who is “us” and who is not worthy to be represented? You realize you’re free not to watch if seeing people that look or live differently than you is upsetting, right?

You seem triggered to me. Sorry about that. Not my intention.

Pointing out the triggering does not reduce the triggering. Nor does apologizing from a position of ethnotechnological privilege.

Everybody is triggered, all the time, including the unborn, who morn their forced births as sacrifices on the alter of rule of law.

Destruction of natural habitat is a problem, pretty much everywhere on earth. If you're watching a show about birds, it probably covers where they live. If you like seeing birds, you probably care about them being around in the next 50 years. There is more to environmentalism than just climate change. I am obligated to point out that climate change will also change habitats, which will negatively impact many bird pop…

It's true but it just doesn't need to be interjected into every conversation, every film, every time something even moderately related comes up. You can come up with negativity about how X is being ruined or is awful in some way or another for every X. The almond milk in your coffee uses scarce California water supplies, cows are mistreated and use water and produce methane, coffee farmers are threatened by global wa…

To each their own. I think the whole context is relevant on a subject and would prefer understanding habitat and human impact when I’m trying to learn about something. To me, the habitat destruction is a crucial part of the story, and if you left it out it would be like teaching about life in America during ww2 without mentioning Japanese internments. Or discussing the 1960s without mentioning civil rights.

These things are critical topics necessary in order to understand a topic. It honestly feels a bit like you would prefer a space where the downsides or costs are not mentioned - I prefer to not elide the uncomfortable.

Edit - maybe it’s like a dinosaur documentary not mentioning their extinction? I could understand that, if it were a matter of prioritizing based on available time. Still, it does seem like the meteor event is pretty important when talking about dinosaurs. I guess we just see things differently.

I'm with you. I was genuinely asking.

In that case, hell yeah! She’s really funny and down to earth live. The whole crowd going nuts screaming “they’re so pretty it hurts” gave me so much life. Sorry this thread is swinging so hard between folks who clearly have an axe to grind with the lgbt community and people who are shocked it’s still this bad in 2022 that I’m just defensive by default.

Nice!

Yeah I just went to read comments (of course more crazy replies) after posting in the ACLU thread.

I was shocked again at the crap people on this forum are writing in that thread too.

Maybe you're right I shouldn't be shocked anymore. I've always known, but ben lucky enough not to have to experience very much, of the hate.

But it just feels so much worse. Not just on queer ness but on anything not white-male christian.

Or at least it's more vocal. Like why do these people feel the need to write this stream of crap on hacker news....

I can't decide which or both of these: - Emboldened by leaders & media to allow them to speak out already held beliefs (the silent majority except that's a euphemism). - This craziness has actually shifted, been created, and or amplified. Not just on LGBTQ issues. look at the ACLU thread (re lots of white males talking about overt discrimination because of diversity inclusion training and even more crazy q stuff like fbi false flagged jan 6 wth).

I think it's both.

On this topic for instance I very much doubt people knew let alone cared about trans girls playing on their high school sports team before we made progress to the point there were out trans high school girls and then it became a political punching bag. And now as a result some states and politicians are emboldened to pass dangerous laws that will cost even more lives.

Gen-z identifies as 20% queer. Each new generation is more willing/able to live their truth. Wouldn't surprise me if we land somewhere around 25-30%. In large part thanks to representation in shows and movies. The us is rapidly diversifying too in terms of race, yet still even more under represented in media. Glaad says only ~10% queer characters on broadcast, and was a decline from previous study. Specifically compa…

As well as still being used as an offensive slur against gay people and thus not really an appropriate term to use in these sorts of discussions, 'queer' is so ill-defined that it could include pretty much anyone if they feel like it, regardless of actual sexual orientation. For example, 'demisexual' people are included in this categorization, even though all it means is that a person prefers to form an emotional bon…

Hi. I'm queer. I can use the term however I want. It is an umbrella term of inclusion and any bias you have that it is somehow an insult is on you.

What a bizarre response.
