Missing fifth panel:

Re-read RickyRigatoni’s comment.

Yes, but the perp showed the images to a minor.

You consider it a heinous crime to draw a picture and keep it to yourself?

A little? The comic even brings out the Soros bogeyman. Lemme see if I can find the sauce, I suspect it is telling.

Hmmm, concerning, but inconclusive so far.

Even more concerning.

The number of people in this thread claiming to dislike the second most popular trilogy in cinematic history - LOTR - is statistically unlikely.

It’s woman specific, because she can’t speak for any woman but her, and her rights matter no more than yours do, if you’re concerned about situations where you both want or need to be in the same space.

Maybe what depends on the type of bear? Because the context is what a man should do when a woman tells him she’d rather be near a bear than him.

Then, if that is the message intended, what do we do next?

Fuck off.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. - Maya Angelou

If a woman tells you you threaten her more than a wild bear does, fucking listen, then fuck off. She is actively telling you you frighten her more than a fucking polar or grizzly. Why would you stick around? Do you enjoy terrifying people? Show some fucking respect and leave her alone forever, like she literally just asked you to. As a free bonus, you’ll never have to hear her say it to you again.

I have no idea, I’m just trying to guess how a vegan meme could be interpreted politically.

Uh… I’ll try.

Society can’t be trusted to handle things like adults should. If it could, very well-done drawings of minors depicting them as nude would be a non-issue as blackmail material both because society would just shrug off any such images being published as inconsequential and because minors would be raised to know that cooperating with blackmailers accomplishes nothing productive.

No.

If we could implement maturity and so on, ease of access to the tools would be a non-issue. And the tools would be as legal as crayons or pencils, and the “material” as legal as any cartoon. But I agree with you that this is a super real practical problem, because we can’t.

Did you post a meme about cow farts contributing to climate change or something?

We really don’t have any solution to this yet.

We do, and always have, but good luck with implementation. Humanity hates acting like an adult.

1. Critical thinking: society knows to a certainty deepfakes exist and hence should be intrinsically skeptical of any image they see, demanding the image’s source establish some reason to trust the image. We could be less blindly trusting.
2. Body acceptance: for 0 seconds of humanity’s history has it made credible sense to shame someone over having seen them naked. We could choose not to.
3. Competence: Appeasing these people only encourages them. If people would just understand that giving your blackmailer what they want is always strictly worse than not doing so, it would remove the incentive to blackmail. Why would you trust your blackmailer to keep your secret? Makes no sense.

This is Lemmy, we don’t do “informed”. Count yourself lucky if anyone in the comments even read the thread’s post.

Basically yes.

Andrew Tate is the absolute worst, but it is also a fact - one that has been true for all of recorded history - that competing with each other for female attention is a generally popular male motivation. And when a guy doesn’t do those things, he can expect mockery. Do you have anything nice to say about neckbeards? No? Didn’t think so.

Bear in mind Lemmy is an overall very leftist platform. Claiming an outside observer can tell a man from a woman is going to attract downvotes, let alone going on to list alleged specific differences.

Note to readers, because I am used to Lemmy: Anyone assuming I agree or disagree with any given take on gender differences can fuck off. My actual post conveys no opinion on them.

“African American Vernacular English” sounds like an awfully racist term for it.
