    Talk about a great example of white privilege; getting upset that a drawing by an ai has too many POC in it when it’s supposed to be all nazis.

      how many fingers are on a hand

      I just want to gently remind you that some of our less-fingered community members might find this comment ablest and hurtful.

        Oddly that seems to be a common injury. I know many people missing part or whole digits. I think it’s easy to forget how many have a disabilities as it’s often excluded from the media or when it is portrayed, it’s just to show they are being inclusive.

          t’s just to show they are being inclusive.

          Edit: let me simplify this a little because I know I write long sentences.

          It seems like “just to show they are being inclusive” might mean you think they dont actually care about disabled people, but just want to score leftist brownie points.

          If you do think that, my question is: what makes you think that way?

          Maybe it is because there are many examples of people in conservative circles who say things they don’t really believe, just to score right wing brownie points.

          My examples are as follows: I have observed with my own eyes people behaving one way in church, nodding piously at the sermon on the mount, but out of the church doors and in the Denny’s acting like the worst bunch of Goddamned Karens you ever laid eyes on.

          It’s not just limited to church people. How often do we hear from the right about law and order? About being tough on crime? People who talk in these terms don’t mean it. These are hollow platitudes and pure pretence. If they were sincere, why would they would vote for someone with 91 felony charges in 4 states?

          So my possible explanation for why you would think media representation is empty posturing is because you see so much of it in conservative discourse, it is normalized and you assume leftists are doing it too.

            One possible explanation: Perhaps it is that conservatives are so used to feigning moral positions they don’t actually hold

            lol. Yes because the movie and tv industry is dominated by conservatives. Thank you for the laugh.

              Aw man, I feel like you would say something different if you had better reading comprehension skills.

                I tried to ready through it but the base premise was no weird I couldn’t stop laughing. You think media is controlled by conservatives. Yeah.

                As a disabled person your thesis is not only insulting but shows a lack of understanding for what we go through. I don’t need you speaking on my behalf. Unless you are a disabled person, don’t assume.

      Can I borrow one of your strawmen? You clearly have many to spare.

    It is really telling that if the roles were reversed, you wouldn’t have posted this.
