Oh god Brianna Wu is on Bluesky, oh shit, on the one hand I'm sad and irritated but on the other hand this website has finally implemented Twitter's best feature: the ratio.

She's been her forever, she's here so long I have her muted from one of the original mute lists, so I miss out on wonderful posting like: "Very important that your nails and Porsche match."

well for example here is the introduction to tiny tina www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxeH...

Yeah I've played the game. I'm aware of the opening. Explain to me in what way it's racist, though.
Is it just because she uses a specific style of speech?
John E Warren 🤠🐝♿️ (@floppyadult.com):
you're so close
PigeonFish (@thepigeonfish.bsky.social):
So...the way a person speaks has nothing to do with their race and everything to do with where they learned to speak. I mentioned before that I'm a black man, and I dont speak like that because I grew up in an American suburb.
Electrichead (@electrichead.bsky.social):
Where was Tiny Tina, the fictional character, raised?
PigeonFish (@thepigeonfish.bsky.social):
On a fictional planet full of a lot of different kinds of people.
Electrichead (@electrichead.bsky.social):
I'm sorry this is incorrect. The correct answer is, "she was not raised, she is a fictional character." However, she was written by a real life person though, and to need to start interrogating the intent he had here and why he thinks this joke is funny, as well as the cultural context of the work.
PigeonFish (@thepigeonfish.bsky.social):
You're trying too hard for a "gotcha" moment here. Do you want a genuine discussion, or are you chasing clout?
In any case, sure, I accept that you find the character unfunny. We all have different tastes. That STILL doesn't exhibit any sort of disdain or disrespect to anyone's race.
PigeonFish (@thepigeonfish.bsky.social):
Unless you mean to say that ONLY black people can speak the way Tina does, which IS actually offensive.
Would it have been better if Tina were black? Also much more offensive that way.
Or are you of the opinion that people can simply not speak that way at all? Sounds offensive to me.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
The way she speaks — her dialect — is played as a punchline, to cast her as backwoods, rural, ignorant, & crazy. That is possible because of prevailing mainstream cultural attitudes towards people with that dialect. Those mainstream attitudes are a product of centuries-old white supremacist beliefs
Electrichead (@electrichead.bsky.social):
Honestly it's not even like borderlands is only racist. It also really hates poor southern white people, people with cleft palettes, and people with dwarfism. It's just kinda shitty and mean spirited in general, so I'm not sure why people want to defend it at all here.

The far right had one chance at achieving their goals of complete takeover and fascist dictatorship. Because they missed their window the propaganda machine has become self destructive and now The far right is about to go fully catabolic and destroy itself as a major entity.

beanie babie is getting yelled at for saying he would vote RFK just hours after Rogan endorsed rfk over Trump. The right is going fully catabolic as it becomes clear it's over for Trump.

The far right wing messaging being manufactured now about Walz is that he is an "NPC", and a drain on the country (due to being a lifelong public servant).
For the far right, men are only valuable if they're:
Making profit
Conquering territory (incl. Culture)
Employing others
Fathering children

hearing the stories from all of the trans newskies from threads about how threads is suppressing transness is both not surprising and also puts everything in perspective about why it is important that we make it work here. bluesky has issues but it isn't The Fascism App nor The Genocide App.

She decided one day that all the progressives / LGBTQIA were doing it all wrong, and that we needed to Be More Assimilationist, and then she got angry when people said "… what? no." so then she decided to join forces with the people who stalk & terrorise trans women
