Also, I just seen your tags, and I'd like to point out that I'm not arguing on the gender = expression bit. I'm saying that the point they used to illustrate that, even if it was made if the right intentions and motive, is ignorant of character design. The intent was good, the example used was not so.

Caption:

[Person 1: WALL-E and EVE are both nonbinary.

Person 2: What are you talking about? Keep your… Liberal politics out of my kid’s movie. WALL-E’s a boy and EVE is a girl.

Person 1: But they’re… they’re robots. They don’t have genitals.

Person 2: Yeah but like WALL-E is square and does construction and EVE is like feminine and sexy looking.

Person 1: So, gender is a matter of presentation and expression, not a matter of biology.

Person 2: No! Gender’s just about your genitals.

Person 1: Then, WALL-E’s nonbinary. He doesn’t have genitals.

Person 2: No, WALL-E’s a boy.

Person 1: Then gender is a matter of expression an-

Person 2: No! Gender is just biological!

Person 1: Then WALL-E doesn’t have a gender

Person 2: No! He’s a boy robot!

Person 1: Look I don’t have anything going on. I can do this all day.]

I'm talking about basic character design principals. In art, when dealing with characters, particular design choices are oft made to convey the character as a particular gender. How do we assume that goofy bastard from lost in space is male? Because a set of behaviors and design choices were made in order to help the audience infer this. Gender coding, and indeed 'coding' is a really facinating concept in design.

As well, I never stated that the point being made was "contradicting", I said it was a fallacy. The point is false, and mostly ignorant. Not in that its offensive or salacious, but in that it seems to be made with a lack of understanding of design and even writing to a degree.

Hot take, the only good Beatle was John Lenon, the rest of the Beatles were just around in the first modern era women that were allowed to be horny.

This slaps harder than anything the Beatles ever released

Ohio is in Ariel's cylinder of hatred

Cinderella's fear icosahedron has fully en-icosahedroned Los Angeles

Yeah man, that's just otter nonsense.

Stoat?

stoats and ermine are actually the same animal! and to top that off, in some places they're also called "short-tailed weasels". but it's all the same critter:

(let's call him "Maurice". hello, Maurice!)

of course, this means that every ermine coat you've ever seen in a fashion magazine or on the rack of a thrift store being fondled by Macklemore has actually been made... out of stoat... this entire time.

that's right,

it's a stoat coat.

I used to call in to my local radio station every day in middle school and request that they play the Kingdom Hearts theme and they never did because I didn’t understand how the radio worked back then but one day, one fucking day the radio host was like “for the kid who keeps requesting this song for two years straight, here you go, oh and by the way we’re blocking your number” and they fucking played it and beating the system was worth never being able to request a song ever again

The most moral option imo, is to shoot the gender neutral soldier for even putting you in this situation.

feminism never taught me to hate men but it did help me realize that i shouldn’t prioritize them over women & it turns out that alot of men consider that to be hatred lmao.

Uh, no. We were told Communism was bad by the victims of it.

The 17 million that Stalin is responsible for sending to die in forced labor camps. The Communist Gulag.

The 'Great Purge' where in order to solidify power, Stalin had 700,000 killed, most shot in the back of the head, or beaten to death.

All the Anarchists that Lenin had executed during the 'Left wing uprisings against the Bolsheviks'.

The Holomodor Genocide.

The Red Terror of 1918 where the Communists summarily executed tens of thousands.

The Chinese Communist Party's Uygur Genocide.

Need I list more? Maybe Communism isn't so hot after all. Neither is segregation. Stop making false comparisons please.

THE FUCKING FROG THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS

[cramconk]

I think we're all grown up enough to admit that pink actually is a nice color and the only reason people ever convinced themselves it isn't is because girls, often young girls, like it

[cramconk]

please look at this feisty, fluffy child

incredible
