I’ve been predicting since Trump was re-elected that within four years, LGBT content will be purged from streaming services. Netflix and Disney will probably end up doing it before they’re forced to.
If media can turn someone gay than rationally the inverse should be true as well so why are there still gay people when the media is 99% non gay stuff?
Pretty misleading. This isn’t “PBS,” it’s one member station doing it to their local content.
PBS gives their members freedom. Can’t help it if some are conservatives or panicking over loss of local funding from their local conservative govt
As a Jew, I was exposed to a lot of Christmas movies and media with Christian values as a child. Guess what? Still Jewish.
Also Bill Nye and Mr. Wizard taught me lots of science. Guess what? Still failed chemistry and still dumb as fuck.
This shows you why echo chambers of all designs are bad. It’s why I hate the down vote arrow, and wished that it disappeared off the face of this planet. People got frustrated when that happened with Youtube though, so shrugs. Please keep being a witty one =)
Youtube dislikes don’t do anything. I’d rather have both up and downvotes so you could see the vibe of a particular community. Reddit took it too far, hiding anything with a few downvotes and treating it as a currency, without that (like on here) it’s fine.
Out of respect for you, I said “go fuck yourself” while I upvoted your comment.
I’m going to need a list of every person that was turned LGBT+, by a song, tv show, video game, etc. Conservatives are such hypocrites and liars. You CAN’T turn someone gay. If you could, the whole fucking planet would be gay.
So… watching fox news can make my trans and gay friends hetero and alter their gender? I’m doubtful.
No, but it can make them hateful and alter their grasp on reality.
It’ll absolutely make them self hating. Pretty sure that’s been proven repeatedly in the GOP
When they say “turn”, they mean “learn”.
They want their children to live a life of denial and never learn that they are allowed to feel the way they do.
I was at a confirmation to a boy a couple of days ago, where the uncle is gay. The uncle hadde a speech that started with "When [name] was in kindergarten, he said ‘I want a boyfriend, like my uncle Tom has, because he’s so happy’. Damn, that was funny. Especially since the boy is as straight today. There’s NOTHING wrong with children being exposed to different people. Fuck the GOP and their hateful minds. Let people be people, you closeted bigots!
We used to get excited and sang along to Culture Club music videos when they came on TV. Never once wanted to dress like Boy George.
Myself and everybody I knew thought Boy George was a woman.
Some of us did, but it still didn’t destroy the world or hurt anyone at all.
Some of us did, and nothing happened, nothing changed. At worse, people learned to be more tolerant, oh my word
I used to have my sister put makeup on me, and use shopping bags to make “dresses” which we’d then stuff with fake boobs. I thought it was awesome and great fun creativity. I’m straight AF, but still flamboyant AF. You are what you are.
Yup, you do you and I’ll do me and we’ll live happily side by side.
Why PBS, WHY?
Can I complain too? Because the GOP is turning kids to suicide because they are having a miserable life for not being allowed who they are. You really have the mental capacity of a can of mountain dew if you think “gay” is an option, a choice, something which can change. The only thing that can change are the limited dumb fucks who believe in an imaginary guy in the clouds with super powers (which he only uses for crual things somehow) by stopping abusing others and forcing children into their expectations. It’s literally child abuse what they are doing. And they are making the rules, instead of being trialed.
Honestly fucking stupid.
You think these hogs care that you removed the content? It’s not about the content! They just hate public media! You can never conform to their standards because their standards are solely about privatisation.
With friends like these…
Is that also why they don’t like black people in movies? They don’t want them turning their kids black?
What about gay content?
Bert and Ernie tried to make me gay. And don’t even get me started on that Count guy. Like, is that seriously what he’s wearing?
Cookie Monster gave me an eating disorder.
It’s called fashion, honey. You wouldn’t understand it.
Ernie is the coziest of bottoms.
Oh, the joys of being old! I remember the GWB years, when PBS was pressured into a Both Viewpoints era and suddenly they had “experts” extolling the virtues of Trickle Down Capitalism.
If you stand for something, like PBS has, it’s always a terrible idea to cater to the opposite. Liberal law firms that settled with the Trump administration have found that out, Target is finding it out, and PBS might do, as well.
