I think it's worth being called a snitch to help stop a young girl from being abused.

There are no laws stating that we have to watch or see ads, so forcing us to watch them feels like a huge overstep. Companies shouldn't be able to have this much control over a public service.

Anyone still trying to claim "both sides" at this point are just willfully ignorant.

Bro have you never watched a Futurama episode before in your life? They've ALWAYS made jokes about current events and pop culture. Those jokes a perfectly in-line with their usual humour.

Those are two different genres. Most shounen series still have simpler titles. Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, Black Clover, Chainsaw Man, My Hero Academia, Promised Neverland, etc. Ones with long titles tend to be comedy, shoujo, or ecchi.

Bro, I don't know how you missed this, but your church is the minority among Christians. I come from a large Christian family so I'm not saying that as someone who hates Christians, I'm saying that as someone with two eyes and common sense. And I'm also someone who is not straight so I'm also speaking from experience myself. Christians who ignore these issues within their community are only enabling them. I get that you feel defensive about your religion because it's a part of who you are so an attack on it feels like an attack on you, but if you really care about it then you should be motivated to work on improving it so it can live up to your love for it, instead of getting mad at people for being rightfully unhappy about a group that has a long, long history of abusing lgbt people, and which hasn't exactly done a lot in recent years to improve their reputation.

There's this delusion amongst transphobes that they can "always clock a tranny" and that they're never wrong when they decide that someone is secretly trans because they have a more prominent Adam's apple or something equally stupid. Of course the truth is that they're wrong constantly and are just idiot bigots, which this illustrates rather poignantly unfortunately. They don't really know who is or isn't trans, they just want to pretend they know so they can feel vindicated by "recognizing" trans people, and they convince themselves that trans people can never truly blend in to society. Because if trans people really were capable of being indistinguishable from cis people, then that would mean that at some point they might have, gasp, treated a trans person like a human being and used the proper pronouns. The horror.

Of course trans people shouldn't have to blend in, they shouldn't have to pass to be treated as the gender they identify as, or with basic human decency.

Nah I'll just pirate shit instead.

That should absolutely constitute a stalking charge at the very least. But I recommend talking to a lawyer to be sure about what you can or can't do legally.

Hate to break it to you, but if complaints about one movie scene was all it took to get you to "leave" the left, then you were never really on the left to begin with.

Tell them you're going to prank them, and then don't.

Do the block and uninterested stuff but also clear her history and then search for videos you want her to watch. Cover all your bases. You can also try looking up debunking and deprogramming videos that are specifically aimed at fighting the misinformation and brainwashing.
