We have not once encountered a corporate shitstain as aggressive as them.

Are you kidding? You can’t think of a single company in the modern games industry worse than Nintendo? Do EA, Ubisoft, and Activision Blizzard not exist in your reality? What did they do in your eyes that makes them worse than sex abusers and slave drivers?

Good thing happens:

Lemmy: Yeah but lawsuits am I right?

Can’t you people be happy for one goddamn second?

It’s not symbolic. The tan coat guy is a serial killer who preys on young naive children, not a metaphor for any real world corporation.

What the fuck did Mexico do?

Funny. Tech bros insisted that this wouldn’t happen.

You haven’t been keeping up with the news have you? The chip malfunctioned, and Elon knew it was going to.

Because it kills everything you put it in? I don’t know how to tell you that you’re supposed to care about other people.

WHAT THE FUCK

This is gonna get worse before it gets better.

See my other comment. I’ve also edited my original one for clarity.

My phrasing is not good, but my point is supposed to be that the idea of a female Pope isn’t so far fetched that “wokeness” is the only explanation for depicting one. The idea of Joanna is popular enough to be depicted in the works of art generative AI shamelessly plagiarized trains on, therefore it shouldn’t be a surprise.

I will edit my original comment to make this more clear.

Including a woman pope

A woman was pope.* Thanks Persona 5 for teaching me that.

• In popular culture. Joanna’s status as a real person is sketchy and possibly made up.

You’re supposed to post a link to the article, not a screenshot of the headline.

They should change nothing and say that they got rid of it. It’s not like these people are smart enough to tell the difference.

I looked it up and you’re right. I must of been thinking of a different crime. That’ll teach me to go spouting off about stuff.

My point that AI is programmed to recycle and humans aren’t is still something I stand by, so I edited my comment.

You’re comparing something humans often do subconsciously to a machine that was programmed to do that. Unless you’re arguing that intent doesn’t matter (pretty much every judge in America will tell you it does) then we’re talking about 2 completely different things.

Edit: Disregard the struck out portion of my comment. Apparently I don’t know shit about law. My point is that comparing a a quirk of human psychology to the strict programming of a machine is a false equivalency.

I included ones that were considered a part of the lineup in the past, but were later discontinued. The princess lineup is flexible and liable to change at any given time. Most of the characters I’ve listed were promoted as princesses for at least a little while following the release of their respective movies. Alice was promoted as an initial member of the line when it was first conceived and her status as one is a plot point in Kingdom Hearts, and Tinker Bell was a part of the line prior to the existence of the Disney Fairies line. The official website only lists the current lineup, not it’s entire history.

Apparently the reason for that is simply because Esmeralda merch didn’t sell. Go figure.

The Disney princess lineup has always had some odd inclusions and exclusions. Mulan is considered a Disney princess^TM despite not actually having the title, as is Alice (some random girl), Pocahontas (chieftain’s daughter, which I guess you can argue is a similar concept), Moana (see above), Mirabel (another random girl without a position of authority), Tinker Bell, Jane Porter (although she is a noble, which is at least similar) and Megara. (From Hercules, in case you also forget that movie existed)

Likewise, the lineup does not include Nala, despite actually possessing the title explicitly. (Is Disney racist against lions or something?) Nor does it include Eilonwy, though that’s understandable considering The Black Cauldron flopped so hard it nearly tanked their animation department. It doesn’t include any acquired properties either, so as funny as it is to lump Leia into the group, officially she doesn’t count.

They are absolutely still interested in challenging it. They’ve been talking about repealing it since the day that it was enacted. Why do you think they keep dialing up the anti LGBT rhetoric? Do you think that they just threw up their hands and said “oh well!” when that thing they railed against for decades happened? That which they raged against with all the hatred in their hearts. That they insisted was a sin against god and would lead to the collapse of Western civilization?

They didn’t stop being angry at us. They’re still pissed.
