@uncannyIongarms why do people think Ronaldo raped Mayorga? Afaik the leaked documents from the hacker group could or could not have been altered, in which they claim Ronaldo accepted guilt to his lawyers. There is no evidence for either of the claims, so it's disingenuous behavior to act 1 way.
@coomsocklol It's never truly attainable. Closing the doors to people that have the ability to include diverse characters even if they aren't perfect with their portrayal segregates the media as a whole, with only queer people being able to include queer representation.
@coomsocklol never come about if it weren't for his ability to write characters that are different to him without being ostracized for it. If I as an Indian wanted to write a book about India, the amount of "human references" I'd need is INSANE, because of the amount of diversity in culture
@dovebyler It's not about defending white people, sometimes "correcting" does get excessive. I'm for minorities getting the representation they deserve, but that doesn't mean barring any form of creative work that doesn't involve the same gender/sexual orientation/race/religion as authors.
@coomsocklol What about authors? Should 10 people be involved in writing books now? Especially if it's a diverse set of characters, again, it's insane to demand people be so one-lane focused.
@coomsocklol A white guy doesn't know what a black guy goes through in-depth, because they're not black, doesn't mean white guys can't write about black guys. This is stupid, limiting creativity for the sake of nothing. Just because the Duffers fucked it up doesn't mean other people have to.
The BJP government’s Transgender Persons Amendment Bill is a brazen attack on the Constitutional rights and identity of transgender people.
This regressive bill:
- strips transgender people of their ability to self identify, violating a Supreme Court judgement
- wipes out the diverse cultural identities of communities across India
- forces trans people to undergo dehumanizing examinations by a medical board
- introduces criminal penalties and surveillance without safeguards
The BJP government hasn’t consulted the trans community and brought a bill which stigmatises rather than protects them.
The Constitution protects every Indian’s right to life, liberty, identity, and dignity. This BJP government is violating our Constitution and destroying India’s rich history of honouring transgender communities in pursuit of its narrow ideas.
The Congress Party unequivocally opposes this Bill.
