Its harm potential is somewhere in between. To put it in perspective, alcohol is worse than heroin. And like alcohol addicts, your friends should be able to get a clean and safe source to reduce damage, and the help they need without any fear of persecution.

You can’t criminalize problems away. It evidently didn’t help your friends.

Defederation? What happened?

In this case we’re talking literal stolen pets though.

A plane only has one plane worth of spare parts though.

It’s rare, but this franchise owner understands very well that a lot of people hate Barbie. It’s even in the trailer “If you love Barbie, this movie is for you. If you hate Barbie, this movie is for you.”

I mean it’s not a groundbreaking feminist and anti-capitalist critique, but you do understand that the opening is intentionally tacky and childish, right? You should have stayed to see what the next 1,5 hours of the movie had to say about that tackiness.

I don’t think it legitimizes that. Fans can be blissfully unaware of an artist’s politics. Or better: loving their art in spite of their politics can be empowering. It removes the hate from the art and turns it into a positive force. This has been done over and over again with Lovecraft’s work. That took effort. Not so much with Sinead’s songs, cause her “racist” fit was so impotent to begin with.

Yeah lol who said anything about “good racism”? Lemmy really is like the old Reddit, can’t say I missed “reverse racism” concern trolls.

She was angry for getting a lot of Islamophobia. It’s racism yeah but only in a very literal sense that doesn’t hurt white people. It’s not that hard to understand.

Why should that be an issue? As if Black people can’t be HP Lovecraft fans.
