  • This.

    And it’s not just law enforcement, but also the media - basically anyone who has any semblance of authority therefore their words have more power than your average person.

    Let’s play the hypothesis game. Let’s presume that the referee wasn’t attacked because he was gay while in public, but rather, someone he had beef with (even unknowingly) saw him on TV, followed him and beat him up. Then once he’s caught he could sue the police and the media who published that he beat the referee because he was gay, which would be slander…

    I know for many it’s weird that criminals get to have rights, but over the past ~250 years we’ve refined a system that mostly works AND helps the police apprehend criminals at a much higher rate. Sorry fellas but your need to know comes last, the priority is on catching the person or people who did this and serving justice.



  • That’s only true to the current outer layer of the sun.

    Now consider that the sun will expand from its current ~1.4Mkm diameter to anywhere between 1.2 to 2 AU (1 AU being the distance between the sun and the Earth on average, so about 150Mkm). That’s a 200 times increase in radius/diameter, resulting in a drop of the surface temperature to around 2400K, which, while isn’t ideal for life (and in fact arguably the coronal plasma itself would be a bigger issue for life et al), is also not something the planet couldn’t withstand for a good while. After all we’re talking about a measly 2000 degrees Celsius or so.

    PizzaCake, the artist behind this comic, made another comic a few years back, satirising a bunch of things men say to women to handwave away bad behaviour (think “not all men” kind of stuff). What she didn’t notice was that with her satirisation, she also dismissed genuine issues that society also tends to dismiss relating to mens mental health.

    The mods of r/comics went a bit overboard with the moderation (to be fair, an overwhelming amount of moderated comments have been just pure toxic masculinity, but a bunch of people who said that both toxic masculinity AND the intentional downplay of men’s issues are a problem, got caught in the crossfire).

    PizzaCake herself had some… less than savoury reactions, all in all it turned into a shitshow that the chuds blew out of proportion, the mods who stepped in were overbearing and obviously prejudiced, and the overall reactions just… weren’t nice. this should’ve been something that triggers respectful discussion, and both sides were unable to do exactly that.

    Later on, the manosphere launched what was essentially a mini gamergate against PizzaCake and bam, now we have a bunch of videos and Reddit posts calling her “pathetic” and other select names, while the people posting said content aren’t better by any measure…
