For those who missed it: Metro put out this article with the racist headline "Sorry straight white men, Doctor Who was never made for you". Shockingly, this didn't go over well with the fans, and the backlash was so severe it appears Metro has ended up deleting their entire Twitter/X account in response.

Edit: oh, and the writer of that dog-shit article protected her account, because of course she did. I'm begging you, Elon, get rid of protected tweets.

OP helpfully made a summary for me

The UK has been conquered from within. It is a trojan horse operation. Large parts of London and other places in the UK has been de-Westernized. It is sad to see a great and proud nation, one that has contributed so much to humanity is infested with self-hatred.

Hahahah. The frick Is this revisionist shit? The British empire invaded half the fricking world and ravaged half the fricking world destroying other civilizations contributions and culture.

If London is super diverse it's because that's one of the effects of colonization, the ex colonies that you left in economically weak states end up having a lot of migration your way. It's very easy to see in many European >> countries. See France, Netherlands, Spain...

UK is classist af and keeps fricking over their mid/low citizens and it's perfectly in line with their history.

Now I agree that there's a lot of woke bullshit distracting, but that's for most of Europe and the USA and not exclusive to the UK.

Maybe revise the superiority complex and we can talk nuance about financial interests using migration to lower wages, wokeness, ghettoisation, etc.

As it stands... Your post about "the mighty western contributor to humanity" is laughable. Ask Ireland.

Slapfight over le based/cringe Bongland continues after this

Yep, people have had enough. I'm hoping we're coming towards the end of all this woke shit now but I doubt these c*nts are going to go quietly.

God I hope it ends. It has caused so much damage to peace and freedom movements all over the world.

It damaged rights of customers to protest abusive corporate actions, all because it is wrong to investigate or criticize “woke” corporations.

It damaged rights of a fair trial and people in court, with court of public opinion and the shift to “guilty until proven innocent”. Now even intelligence agencies are allowed to investigate and attack you if you are cancelled for wrongthink or say controversial things.

It damaged the rights of voters, because now only “approved” people can run for office. If not approved SJWs have rights to attack even the voters and supporters without needing evidence of actual crimes. And they have the right to use any punishment they like.

Can't even criticize government or war, because it is “offensive”.

All these dare to call themselves men

Amusingly enough, Doctor Who was EXPLICITLY made for Straight White Men when it debuted back in the 60s.

According to the 1961 Census of England and Wales, Britain was 99% White at the time. It wasn't until the 1981 Census that there was an appreciable number of non-White residents in the country.

That doesn't mean it was explicitly made for white people tho At lest use words correctly if you emphasize them like that

Why are ppl allowed to invite rage than protect their account all the time on that platform? I don't understand why they are not subject to reap what they sow ? They constantly say things to anger the masses than go protected till they do it again. Letting them hide from the truth only furthers their misguided ideas and doesn't allow them to experience the truth of reality and what the world really thinks. This needs to stop and like you I agree how much longer is he going to allow this? Has anyone asked him?

Why are righoids such strags?

Ah, 2024. Where:

White men liking something (Stellar Blade) is bad.

White men not liking something (new Doctor Who) is bad.

White men being apathetic about something (feminism/BLM) is bad.

White men being involved in something (Bernie Bros) is bad.

White men moving out of a ghetto (white flight) is bad.

White men moving into a ghetto (gentrification) is bad.

White men expressing themselves (mansplaining) is bad.

White men not expressing themselves (toxic masculinity) is bad.

I think I finally get it.

White men

bad

I mean, shit, they should just say that in the first place imho.

PEI changed its policies on work permits for foreign students back in 2023, so that less of them would be able to receive permanent residence after getting their useless diplomas. Indians are really mad about it because they have a God-given right to live in YOUR country, chud.

This article talks more about the situation:

Foreign workers in Canada's Prince Edward Island will hold a day-long protest on May 13 against changes in the province's immigration policy that would reduce the intake of permanent residents by 25 per cent. A demonstration was held in Charlottetown on Friday over the issue.

A large number of students from Punjab living in the province are likely to be affected by the policy changes, announced by the province in February, as many of them work either on work permits or as international students. The burden on the healthcare and housing sectors were cited as the reason to reduce the intake. The focus would now be on nominating workers in the healthcare, childcare and construction trades.

“This has left the hundreds of foreign workers working in the retail and services sector hopeless as they are unlikely to get their work permit renewed once it expires. Even if they shift to the healthcare, childcare and construction trades now, they won't get any benefit as work permits in these sectors will be extended only to those who have prior experience,” said Manpreet Kaur Longowal, a volunteer of the Montreal Youth Students Organisation (MYSO).

They also have the commies on their side. It might be over for us, chudbros...

This is what they had in mind I'm sure. Some gay little thing where they could do tiktok dances at each other.

Very cute.

It isn't turning out how they hoped.

Maybe we get another HWNDU out of this.

Belgian Government Will Intervene In Cases Where Prostitutes Refuse Sexual Acts Too Often

A new law in Belgium celebrated by activists for providing a “labour contract” to prostitutes will also enable their pimps to punish them with a government mediator if they refuse s*x more than 10 times in a six-month period. The Belgian Parliament voted for the law on May 3, with 93 in favor, zero opposed, and 33 abstentions.

The legislation is being touted as a win by UTSOPI, the Belgium Union of S*x Workers, which had lobbied extensively for the legislation. The law outlines that prostitutes will receive health insurance, a pension, maternity and holiday leave, and unemployment benefits. Their pimps will be forced to provide them with a “safety button” to use for emergencies.

...

Prostitutes are to be granted “rights” to refuse sexual acts, stop sexual acts, perform sexual acts in the manner they prefer, and refuse to sit behind Amsterdam-style windows (public facing windows where prostitutes are on display). However, should a prostitute use these “rights” 10 times within six months, their pimp can then call on a government mediator to intervene.

Only 10 picky moments/6 months for these hoes

Happy mothers day @MetroBoomin

— Soulja Boy (Draco) (@souljaboy) May 12, 2024

For further context: Metro Boomin's mother was murdered by her boyfriend before he also killed himself less than 2 years ago.

Metro was unbelievably close to his mother. She bought him his first laptop at 13 because he wanted to start making beats and used to drive him 8 hours on weekends to collaborate with artists when he was in highschool.

This is in response to a 2014 tweet from Metro saying: “My phone rings to come to the studio with Jeezy. Yours rings to send SouljaBoy a pack of beats. Sit Down.”

More Tweets:

• I'll beat the frick out you @MetroBoomin and @21savage sign the boxing 🥊 contract since u kitty n***** so tough!!!

• You sacrificed your own mom @MetroBoomin you a puppet

• All the streams, sales, money, and fame not gone bring your mom back @MetroBoomin was it worth it? I can say frick this money and fame shit and still be a boss can you?

It's a total fricking lie.

Back when I came of age around 2010 and there was a popular white privilege checklist. It was all stuff like, "when I go shopping, I can be confidemt that someone of my race will be there." Just a bunch of items that came down to, "I am the default race" in order to try to make a list that applies to white people of all income and status levels.

I went on an excursion into town today and I noticed the population was like 90% south Asian, 9.9% black, and yours truly.

I love being the town white. No one treats you any differently, because it's not like they've never seen a white person before, but you get to be the only one who is special looking. The onion ring in a bag of fries. What the frick are minorities playing at acting all mad? My only complaint is that my race would mean that people would look at me funny if I tried pulling off the forehead dot.

Universal white privilege DEBUNKED

Case closed.

Redditor

Wow. Small world. I actually swiped right on you a few weeks ago.

Her

Who you?

I'm in school right now so I can be a contributing partner to my relationship/marriage. You are right, I won't bat an eye on people who are not stable financially at this age, because altho I'm not atm, I'm certain I will be once I finish my degree.

Noticer

I've never had so much trouble diagnosing a profile.

First of all, I'm curious as to what you're asking for because theres no way you don't have lots of options. Is there something particular you're looking for?

My first deep impression is that these pics are spread out over a long time, like a decade. I then realized that small changes in styling, and prep resulted in what looked like large age changes. You might drop the oversized tshirt pic and make the one where your hair frames your pic your main one.

Lastly, and really importantly, you are going to have to realize that what you are looking for in these comments is not something you are likely going to find. I commend your school, but after 25, no one with self respect is going to date someone for 2 months and have them go off to school for 9. What am I supposed to do, just wait and hope you don't change your mind or get a job offer elsewhere? If you only want to date for marriage, it's probably best to do that post grad.

Were all photos taken recently (within the last 6 months)? The only reason why I ask is because there's a slight difference between body shape and hairstyles / colour. Some guys may wonder which version of yourself will show up if they ask you out.

>You're very cute and look healthy so your pictures are not a problem. Prompts show your personality and the things you like, which are things a ton of guys like. Really there aren't any issues with any of that.

These pics are not decades apart from each other, that I'm sure of!

It's an odd scenario to be in. If you are looking for a financially stable above average looking guy, similar age as you, then it's going to take a lot of luck without having very similar hobbies and not being super attractive. Now sure a lot of redditors will say you are super cute and they will swipe right but it's not hard to picture the quintessential redditors and I don't think they are your target pool. Like most women, you will get lots of likes and even if the guys are serious, most will quit after a certain time so it will really all come down to luck unless you are dating guys with poor options.

You can say pretty much the same thing to any female's profile review post in here, which makes your comment kind of rude and a downer. Idk what hurt you but I sincerely hope you will find peace within yourself. Take care.

Also here the full texts in case she decides to delete it and we at /r/drama co are all about perseverance:

My updated profile. I got rid of 1 and added 2 new photos : https://i.imgur.com/gallery/2jgQlRM

Edited: I have seen quite a few questions asking why I don't date/look for a relationship where I go to school/ that me leaving for school again is an issue, that my situation might be a problem for well-established men with a set lifestyle (which is one of my criteria).

To give you all a brief answer, the school I go to is in a rural area where there is very little diversity. I have tried dating men who are local there but most of them have little exposure to people outside of their culture. It's even harder when their mindsets are of a country one, whereas I'm more of a city/ suburban person.

Since I'm an undergrad, most of my classmates are 10 years younger than me, and I'm there for my study, so the thought of dating any of them is even more ludicrous. How about older students or grad students, you say? I want to date to get marriage. But I don't plan to live where I go to school. Therefore I don't see the point of dating someone and getting involved emotionally to finally break things off when I move back to my home state.

I feel more comfortable dating where I know I can build a family eventually. And it is in this home state where my parents are at, with a more diverse culture, a big Vietnamese community, and the people are less xenophobic. Especially with my current age, I don't want to wait for 2 more years to permanently move back here and start dating. I'll be too old by that time to have kids with the husband. So, I will take any chance I've got when I'm back home this time, to mindfully date and only date for marriage. I'm pretty set on this path, and if someone is just as serious, they will agree with my thinking and try to make things work for both of us. End of the edit.

Idk why I bothered covering my location, you can clearly see it from my post history lol. Anyways, after taking a break from Reddit to refocus on myself and my mental health, I'm finally at a better place in terms of health and mindset. Seeing that I'm leaving this godforsaken college town to go back home for summer in a few days, I'm ready to meet new people and build some connections along the way. Therefore I need your honest opinions on what impression my profile gives off. What can I do to improve it? Should I change anything?

There is a prompt about the biggest risk you've taken and I wrote: leaving the comfort of home to study for my bachelor's out of state at the age of 30. I have plan to move back home after my graduation, and I'm only home now for summer. I forgot to take a screenshot of it. The prompt is to let the local guys know I'll be back once I'm done with my education, so anyone who's got a long term plan won't feel too deterred that I'll be leaving in 2 months.

I'm very excited about my dating prospect this time! Probably because I've been loving myself more, treating myself with care, patience and compassion. It's true you really need to love yourself before anyone can love you. I have more than enough love for myself now, it's time to share the love with others (or just one more person xD)

Hello, I too am fat and black. When I was 18 and 140 pounds LIGHTER, my mom told me no one would want me because I'm fat. I'm now 28 and weigh 359 pounds as of this morning. I'm in a healthy relationship, have a good career, and just got my MBA.

Wow she grew up by over 2 in 10 years. MBA is also a degree for rich kids. For curiosity checked her profile for healthy relationship:

So I assume it's healthy relationship with her illness

Mandatory tramp bad comment:

My favorite trope is that women are too emotional to be good leaders. Have you seen some of the men in charge? Trump has the emotional regulation of a toddler on meth and people think he'd make a good leader. Elon Musk got on stage and told his customers to go frick themselves because they hurt his fee-fees. These men are absolutely unhinged.

I want to underline your point about loving all of yourself. It is so, so important.

When I was in middle school I was put on a medication that made me eat endlessly. My hunger was utterly insatiable. I would never feel full even when my stomach felt like it was bursting at the seams. I had stopped looking at the scale when I hit 300 lbs. I don't know where my weight peaked. I didn't want to know at that point.

Almost 15 years later I'm still trying to work the last bit of it off. I fluctuate around 220 lbs. I'm still learning about my emotional eating habits. And I would resent the way I looked. Which made me feel worse, which only led to more eating.

Around 80% black women are obese, something must not be right.

Have you read Sonya Renee Taylor's "The Body is Not an Apology"? She's a Black woman in a larger body and I think she is smart and wise and sexy beyond measure. Also, Roxanne Gay's work, but mostly "Hunger." There aren't enough voices coming from Black women who self-identify as fat, but I do think the numbers are growing.

Sexy beyond measure

>There aren't enough voices coming from Black women who self-identify as fat, but I do think the numbers are growing.

Last part she ain't wrong tho

Speaking as a white woman, I agree. I used to do some rave-wear "influencing" and a specific company would have only one plus size model/rep, which often was also their only black model/rep as well. I love that they were giving black women a platform, but I'd wager you do not appreciate being the token "fat" and "black" every time.

Such perfect sucker punch

It is ok to live your life like you are the main character. I'm a black women, my body is small not large but I also find myself on the margins and feeling invisible because I'm not a standard issue black women (I'm mixed, im dorky as heck, i talk weird, I'm massively over educated, my hobbies and interests are strange for any race) I dont belong anywhere and I don't see myself anywhere (except for on billboard ads of companies that are trying to not have just white people in their ads anymore but still want to appeal mainly to white people so they use a light skinned 3B curly haired agreeable bendable young black woman, its so identical and ubiquitous its hard not to notice)

Oooh I suffer being the perfect black role model while not being fat I am so invisible just similar looking girls like me are on billboards, have I mentioned I am smell not fat, I don't belong anywhere I am not like you fat black ghetto trash I am not like other black girls.

I love how you can always find on XXhomoshrome comment like those

Please be kind to yourself with the thought of “I could lose weight…”. That should be irrelevant to the fact you are being mistreated.

You shouldn't have to lose weight to gain respect.

I mean if she can go to 800lbs I'll be impressed

I completely understand. I spent almost all of my life punishing my body for my perceived life's failures and forcing it to carry my emotional pain.

It sucks that society can't see past our flesh prisons, but I understand people use appearance to categorize others and make determinations from there.

My only advice is to focus on those who see you for who you actually are and disregard the others. We are on this planet for a limited time, we can't allow others to dictate our identity. Our opinion of ourselves matters more than anyone else's. Choose who you want to be, be them, and love them.

I mean they are pooping on they body while ignoring its the user of that body who maintained that body to become a pile of fat than they get angry that the user of that body is looked down because that user can't keep that body in shape

Eh it's been long without sucker punches eh

As a former fat white woman, it was not easy either. And I was not sexualized at all. I was called Shamu, I was constantly heckled by men, saying disgusting things, guessing my weight, or making fun of me. I have gone on a great journey and lost 250 pounds over 10 years ago. And my favorite thing is just disappearing in a crowd now, not being noticed, not being looked at, and just being able to live without the fear of some butthole injecting their opinion about me on me.

Serious question to help me understand something:

Can you please give me a bit of insight into your last sentence? I don't know about situations where losing weight (from a high starting point) is a medical risk.

(Of course I'm not asking about private specifics, so if it is hard to give me an answer I understand)

Losing weight for me isn't a medical risk, just not a big priority right now. I added it in there, cause people always like to say “well you can change your weight” or “you don't have to be fat” and I didn't want to hear it.

B-word fat, doesn't want to change and lose weight, want to change the world and force accepting her fat butt

!ifrickinglovescience the doomers at /r/climatechange are discussing the prospects of mass American migration to reddit's favorite country, Canada

I see hordes of people flooded out of their homes in Florida traveling north in migrant caravans for safety, especially as they traverse the Deer River gap in the Adirondacks. Fox News will opine on how unfair it is that Canada isn't letting them in.

Leopards ate my face amerite?

I think it will depend on government responses. The US is trying to build walls and privatize all our social nets. We are cannibalizing the public good. If Project 2025 comes to fruition we will be dramatically dropping the quality of life for almost all citizens.

If Canada has better accommodations- affordable healthcare, available housing or land, and possibly a more stable government then yes I do expect there will be an Exodus.

If we get to the point where the Arctic sea is navigable then Canada will be prime to become an exporter of rare metals from deep sea mining too.

Without appropriate water management most of the western and middle United States will suffer the Dust Bowl again. Our entire corn belt is grown with aquifer water - that will become too low and too expensive to use at some point.

I'm not as familiar with the concerns of Canada, but because they have such large tracts of land not currently in use, they may have a strong economy while others flail.

If you're a trump supporter , please stay in the flooding.

The collapse will probably be so quick and global, that Canada won't be any better off. More than just temperature, it'll be massive famine that will be our demise, which Canada is already on the edge of w prairie crop yields on the decline already.

Peak apocalyptic doomerism

Dunno , but if the United States falls to the cycles of cancerous fascist self destruction hopefully Canada will already have a long standing NATO presence to aid in sorting out possible US climate refugees , rather than yet more self defeating behavior like militarily seizing Canadian territory.

It is quite possible Canada could end up in the position Ukraine currently finds itself in as fascist/authoritarian states are quite fond of inventing histories and rationalizations for invading their neighbors.

If the Canadian government was actually taking the likely course of predicted climate change along with the continued weakening of US representative government seriously , Canada would be working to re- constitute /revive it's Nuclear weapons program , incentive the large number of Canadian nuclear weapons scientist current working in the US to return that expertise home asap....

Surely Europe will defend Canada from evil Christofascist American aggression
