No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It's in reality it's somewhere in the middle. There aee definitely people out there that don't want to see anything non white being represented as anything other than subservient to Whites. But on the other side some elements of Hollywood or any production companies use inclusivity as a shield to stamp down any criticism no matter how much is constructive. Because at the end of the day they don't care about the art they care about their money.
Like for example if you ever read DC comics especially but also another forms of media. They have just been around a long time so it's more pronounced. You will notice a trend of characters that were Red Headed when inclusivity initiatives were publicized they were the characters that changed to Black.
To me you are just swapping one minority to another and patting yourself on the back. Instead of creating dynamic interesing characters that are three dimensional and just so happens to be Black. A good example of this is Static Shock I don't like Virgil becase he is Black I like him because he is a kick ass and interesting character that happens to be black. To do any less is no different than the stereotypes from The Song of the South.
Hell look at South Park Tolkien is one of the kids that has his shit together with awesome loving parents and holds his own with the other kids. He is not a stereotype nor is he held up to be symbol of diversity. Hell the joke token calls that out.
So because corporations uses it as a let's score some points in a hollow cynical way of making money. The small loud voices of bigots are used to get the wider group to come to the products defense for even wider profits for the company.
Because most people are good at least I hope they are and their logic is even if this show is bad I believe in having these voices represented so I will defend it so they make more. To me that's not good enough those voices need to be respected as well. Not used as a gimmick or a pat on the back. It's the equivalent of donating a $1000 and spending $1,000,000 publicizing it.
