Hello! I’m Chloé, a nerdy ace transbian :3

This is my Lemmy account that I don’t use super often. However, I am active on the microblogging side of the fedi at @carotte :3

If we were to pit every single Pokémon against this thing, would they win?

according to the same thread, Madeline is 2,13 meters tall holy shit

(that’s 6'12" in freedom units)

even if farm animals were slaughtered in the most humane and painless of ways, the way they’re treated while they’re alive is still horrifyingly atrocious

similar boat here: what I’ve noticed is that, on your instance, 'foreign' toots will only show the favourites coming from your instance. So, if 3 people from your instance favourited a toot that has 1500 favs total, you will only see 3 next to the star

this isn’t true for boosts, and I don’t know what causes the difference there. Its probably something to do with an incomplete federation (either because of blocks or simply because your server isn’t aware of all the others; I’ve noticed that the difference is much larger now that I’m on a smaller instance with less connections), but I’m not sure

for toots coming from other people on your instance, you will see the full count on both favs and boosts

Even on their own, the shitty alt-right ideology is still present. Notice how the chad, the guy we’re meant to agree with, is very often (not always, but often) a white, blonde-haired, blue-eyed guy?

Or how the guy with the wrong opinions we’re meant to mock is often a drooling person with a dented head?

The ableism and white supremacy of the right is still perceptible in the meme, even when it’s used to push leftist messages.

and on a more basic level, the idea of bad opinion = ugly, good opinion = beautiful is shitty and flirts with white supremacy (because what’s beautiful is very often dictated by eurocentric beauty standards), but that’s a problem in our societies as a whole, not just with this meme

carotte ,
@carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

But there is an issue with the meme itself. It often associates whiteness (notice how the chad is explicitly a white guy with blonde hair and blue eyes) with being good/right, or physical characteristics associated with 'stupidity' (drooling, dented head) with being wrong. The underlying white supremacy & ableism is still there.

And no, we shouldn’t compromise on our values to use popular memes.

@carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

When I talk about dented head and drools, I’m not referring to this soyjak in particular (which is far from the worst), but many who are commonly used have that, such as this one (obvious CW for ableism)

Sorry for the confusion there!

(to clarify, I don’t think OP had any shitty intentions. but that’s why we should point out this stuff IMO, because it slips through the cracks and even people with good intentions can unknowingly spread shitty ideologies. I’m certainly not free of blame either)

as for the rest… well yea, no piece of media is morally without faults, memes included. but in the case of wojaks, I fell like the faults are high and obvious enough that we should still avoid using them.

There’s an ability like that in Pokémon Showdown’s Super Staff Bros mode. It makes you immune to any attacks with complicated names.

very annoying to play against but also very funny concept

Ok I’ll be honest. I used faceapp to give the guy a thicker beard and a smile. no particular reason, I just wanted to see if anyone would notice the difference lol

for reference the original is this:

same image as in post but the guy has a thinner beard and has an O-shaped mouth

A lot of African nations use red, green and yellow in their flags

🇬🇭🇧🇯🇨🇲🇨🇬🇬🇳🇬🇼🇲🇱🇲🇿🇸🇹🇸🇳🇹🇬🇿🇼

A lot of them got these colors from the flag of Ethiopia 🇪🇹, which was the only African nation to resist European colonialism, and so was a big source of inspiration for people who fought for African liberation

I think tipping landlords is fine, in some contexts. For example, if your landlord is walking on a thin plank above void, you should tip them over.
