If you need my bio to figure out my political stances, maybe work on your reading comprehension first. Though, sometimes my writing is a mess and that’s on me.
@TheFunkyLime@kamekozzie@lizcourserants She was in middle school then, that’s what junior high school means. Apparently the manga was H*llsing. She really regrets it now, so people dredging that up really are just looking for anything they can bash her with, imho.
@EsqueerMusk@JONJON_ASAP@BBCWorld I was born long after the height of the HIV crisis, but I am shocked and deeply saddened when I see pundits use people who died as a joke. Maybe there is a tragedy you’d also feel this way about, but I don’t know. Empathy isn’t always natural, but it also means so much to people.
@hakoosi_rockets @maildrvivek@guardian Countries are made up of countless individuals, don’t treat them as monoliths to justify the murder of civilians.
@hakoosi_rockets @maildrvivek@guardian Exactly this. When is the indiscriminate murder of civilians—children, babies, volunteers and medical workers, people leading ordinary lives—ever okay?
By this twisted logic, how many American civilians should die for the atrocities commited in Laos, for instance?
@JasonMolloy8@guardian Yes, they deserve respect too, and many people feel terribly about it. Don’t assume that the general population of any country is all a single political party.
@JasonMolloy8@guardian This isn’t about the morality of bombing, I am talking about respect for the dead and understanding of what an atomic bomb is capable of doing to civilian populations, not just during wartime, but for generations.
People never want to see that tragedy occur again, in any country.
@JasonMolloy8@guardian You’re conflating historical revisionists with people who see the loss of human lives as a tragedy never to be repeated. Recognizing the value of life isn’t just isolated to a single country. The risk of nuclear war is still very present in our world.
@sahnenbonbon@Variety Countless innocent civilians, volunteers who wanted to help the wounded, mothers who went to find their children. The request from many Japanese people to not treat it like a joke is an understandable one.
@sahnenbonbon@Variety It’s not rightwing Japanese people. They might be raising their voices too, but the main position is that this was a tragic loss of human life and generations of suffering from radiation sickness; all due to a weapon that should never be used again.
@NakolH Japanese people aren’t a monolith. There will always be rightwingers and leftwingers in any country. Why would you do something so hurtful to even the people who share your politics?
@offyourselfnow @meowbookz@barbiethemovie Most Japanese don’t deny war crimes. Most people feel sad for the horrible loss of human life. It’s our job not to repeat those mistakes, and turn this into a joke. Especially right now when the threat of nuclear war is more real than it ever has been.
@offyourselfnow @meowbookz@barbiethemovie When you see the bomb, are you seeing just an abstract country with no individuals, no diversity? Did the babies, the pacifists, the non-Japanese, civilians living ordinary lives just like you not matter? You may justify it, but please don’t treat these lives like a joke.
@AnasurimborKell@tesla_addicted@BriannaWu@elonmusk I included tech stocks because Tesla is also working in AI, so I figured it would be a helpful comparison. Here is TSLA compared against other car manufacturers and the Nasdaq Composite.
@KH34344994 @Karai_Dan This is my personal opinion, but I think calling for a boycott was tasteless. But I think that her choice to publicly announce the payment was $4000 was a good thing. People working in entertainment are underpaid. Talking about wages openly can help make the industry more fair.
@KH34344994 @Karai_Dan Lots of Americans boycotted EA, Blizzard, Riot, etc. Blizzard caused MUCH bigger outrage than Bayonetta, I am surprised that you think it didn’t. But most consumers aren’t involved with online outrage, so sales are not impacted so much.
