Not clear who was asking for an apology, I genuinely liked this character. I knew many people like that (albeit not cartoons) and spent a lot of my own childhood in a convenience store. https://t.co/pkCf4D9YD1

not sure this would be my takeaway from this piece by Alex Parenne but I know it is a common attitude:

“Let’s waste our time on dumb bullshit to trick the other side into also wasting their time on dumb bullshit (so they don’t hurt Marginalized People)” really sums up the vapid nihilism wrapped in histrionic moralism of the Biden-era Democratic coalition: https://t.co/sYcnfwbEUI

My mom was sure watching Death Race 2000 would turn us into maniacal homicidal criminals (& bad drivers, which I think showed a surprising lack of appreciation for David Carradine's motor control)
But yes, we live in an age of data-fueled propaganda, now aided with Deep Fakes, micro targeting, et al.
It does have an effect on politics, on general social attitudes, even though there's something to say for improving our ability to reason & withhold quick judgement as an antidote to impacted free speech & hair-on-fire mentality.
I'm not sure how much of TV/movies shifted public consciousness on The Gays - part was simply living around enough of them to realize they were normal enough, & worse characters to fear - even in Southern states (my mom again).
I think the gay marriage issue in the 2004 elections made things *worse* for a while, and then after a year or so things settled down, and most realized they weren't coming for your kids (except those who were actually gay), and more right wing politicians with gay kids kind of took its toll. (except with Dick Cheney). So word-of-mouth/direct experience is what I think had more effect than TV, though people talking about it more from say 2000 on turned it from a Liberace edge case and the less it was associated with just HIV & diseased people helped lower the scare.

No, it won't change you into a violent prejudiced criminal but a sufficient amount of propaganda will shift the consciousness of enough people to precipitate change. It was the propaganda in films and TV that was a major part of what shifted the consciousness of people to a more accepting attitude toward gays. Let's not trivialize it Let us at least acknowledge that propaganda can be effective.

A great piece by @TomChivers.

"Does the Woke Mob Have the Guts to Cancel Rap? An anti-Asian song just got censored: fluke or harbinger?"

I think one of the big false beliefs driving censorship is that words cast a magic spell over someone. I can play a violent video game or listen to a Richard Pryor sketch that uses stereotypes and not turn into a violent, prejudiced criminal...https://t.co/CYwp9ufdDm

Wasn't there a Good Samaritan Law, something like "Jamie's Law", that required rich people to pay off poor people's engagement rings? But what happens if they don't smile? Shaq would be sad. I've never seen him sad.

What a great man! I know

What a great man! I know whenever I think about making the world a better place buying engagement rings for poor people is the top of my list.

The opposite of canceling.

The opposite of cancelling: recognizing fellow human beings. Just a reminder that contrary to many narratives, people of many colors. ethnicities, styles and income classes really can get along off the internet and even feel empathy for "the other", like in a Zales store in Atlanta:

Shaq decided to pay off a man’s engagement ring debt: “I’m just trying to make people smile.”

Good post on a medical student named Kieran Bhattacharya who raised some concerns after a micro aggressions seminar and was “subjected to formal censure, repeated psychological evaluations, suspension, and eventual expulsion.”https://t.co/5EMlJ857F0 pic.twitter.com/Xh9M3eGu2V
