what if mario and garfield come out and chris pratt does a PERFECT spot-on impression for both of them. what would society do? would the italians finally accept him?
Thinking about how the Russian word for “comrade” isn’t actually nearly as stilted and formal-sounding in the language itself and would be more accurately translated as companion/fellow/pal/partner (the whole point of it is that it’s a gender-neutral informal form of address that makes no distinction by gender or social class or profession), and how much that simple mistranslation turned viral has done to shape the perception of people living in Soviet times as these fanatical overly stilted communist caricatures
the exclusionists have won. They’ve excluded everyone. My god.
For reference, “allos” = “allosexual” = “anyone who isn’t asexual / isn’t on the asexual spectrum” so, according to whichever galaxy-brained exclusionist wrote the screenshotted post, no one who’s ace or who isn’t ace is LGBT. Not a single one of us
By Allos, this can’t be happening
[ID: The first image is of multicoloured text on a white background, reading ‘Mogai is hurtful to LGBT people. Allos/Aces ain’t LGBT. And that is the “tea”. Tonight’s “hot take” if you will.’ The next three images are of the same text, but zoomed in on certain parts of it. The second images zooms in on “Allos/Aces ain’t LGBT.”, the third image zooms in on “Allos” and the fourth zooms in on “ain’t LGBT.” The fifth image is a photo of a man sitting in a chair talking to someone off-camera. The subtitles have been edited to read “You did it! You excluded literally everyone”. The last image is a screen cap of Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb. He is grinning and throwing his arms up. It is captioned ‘by default, my favourite way to win!’. /End ID]
