Reply to comment by GoGaslightYerself in TIL that, despite it being widely reported, Bruce Willis never sold the rights to use his likeness with deep fake technology. A Russian Advert company made it up and illegally used him in a commercial. by EarlGrey_Picard

My guy, the Florida government is LITERALLY banning the teaching of most of black history and getting the curriculum changed nationwide, AND prevents teachers from acknowledging same-sex families, AND a ton of states literally prevent you from advocating for boycotts of Israel. Tell me again how pronouns or whatever are the biggest threat facing society

Nice straw man, LOL.

As for what they teach in schools, that's state-sponsored speech. It's paid for by taxpayers, so taxpayers and parents ought to have a say in what their kids are being indoctrinated with, yes?

What if the shoe were on the other foot, and a bunch of right-wingers were indoctrinating kids in schools? Would you be such a fearlessly principled advocate of allowing them to tell your kids whatever they want?

Censoring/suppressing what ordinary people want to say -- on the Internet or anywhere else -- is completely different from state-sponsored, taxpayer-funded speech in schools, particularly when it's the state that's doing the suppressing/censoring of speech by ordinary citizens. But nice try.

My guy, I had abstinence-only sex ed in high school. My teacher literally held up a poster board that said "Abstinence." Did your brain only start forming memories in the last 10 years?

You forgot to capitalize LITERALLY, junior.

(Do the CAPS mean it's figuratively LITERAL, or LITERALLY figurative? And why does LITERALLY every post have to include "LITERALLY"? It's almost as amazing as, well, AMAZING.)
