Well that and the racist tweets

[-] [email protected] 103 points 2 months ago

Context for those who somehow made it to Lemmy but can't do a basic internet search.

Hilarious that they blurred out "fuck" but the calls for genocide were totally cool to keep unedited.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Dismember, kill, and spill blood everywhere - Jaws, rated PG (Not even pg13).

Say fuck twice in 2 hours - R

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

PG-13 didn't exist when Jaws was released.

I'm not arguing against your point, just clarifying why it is PG.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I declare fisty cuffs! Yeah think it came out right after. R existed though right?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Jaws was released in '75 and PG-13 was created in '84.

It was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom that was a catalyst for PG-13. It's probably no coincidence that Steven Spielberg directed both Jaws and Temple of Doom.

It takes you two hours to say fuck twice? I can do it in two seconds, loser

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Jaws came out way before there even was a PG13 rating. And during a much better era for most art.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

But then the lower tweet blurred "kill"

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

But "All Jews should die" is totally fine apparently.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

That’s obviously just an understanding of the circle of life, not a call for genocide. They just don’t want any immortals around, clearly

Ah so they are anti-Jesus

TBF I guess he did die

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

My Muslim friend was like:

Did Jesus die for Christian sins? Like for a weekend? And

So the Christians are monotheists? Who was in charge that weekend?!

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Tbf kinda hard to document things if they are blurred out. Blurring it would be like putting black censor boxes over the body piles in auchwitz and then showing students the remaining image with the important bits hidden and expecting them to understand what's under the censor.

I live in a pineapple under the sea.

It's not that I can't do basic research, but Lemmy is warm and nice, and the rage storm outside is getting worse by the hour.

Thank you for enduring the slop and muck for us and bringing home some relevant context to share.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Kinda bugs me to see the one tweet shared around while missing the others.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

Eh I get not wanting to repost a tweet saying “ALL JEWS MUST DIE” on my account

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but that's really important context before people start cheering hacked elmo.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

That’s fair

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

It's probably because the anti-Trump tweet is the only tweet that is actually reasonable out of all of those. I also think all of the tweets together could actually be used to try and say that anybody who is saying Trump is in the files is just a deranged Nazi. Thus all of them together is bad optics.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Bad optics… I think anyone that defends him isn’t worried about the “optics”

It’s like sharing the tweet just because it looks good by itself feels sorta like picking a bit of food out of a shit heap just because one corner looks appealing and maybe if you just brush a bit of the shit off, that one bit could be palatable.

Maybe Grok did it. Sounds like something it'd say.

Sesame Workshop needs to get off of that Nazi platform anyway.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

What a crashout that was...

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Gonna have to be more specific...

Always tell your salary. It’s the corpos that want it quiet so they can rip peops off on their salaries m.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

and always ask a woman her age, especially if she'd looks young.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Always ask to see ID, birth certificate, and ask for a strand of her hair for DNA testing just to cover your ass 😎

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

if do don't go get your DNA tested on your first date, you're dating for heartbreak
