Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I think she's saying that she is a women, and she is being made fun of by Liberals for how she looks. The implication is that men don't receive the same treatment, not that South Park is making fun of all women.

Also bullshit because all I ever do is hear conservatives mock women, mock liberals, call for their silencing and even deaths, call for them not to vote, claim “god” told them so

Krusty the Gnome killed a dog instead of training it. Fuck that fascist, floppy bitch and her dumb fucking makeup and Bible

Personally, I'm not sure I would really consider making fun of someone's cosmetic surgery to be the same as making fun of their looks. Like yes, technically, it is, but it's really just making fun of their personal choices.

Making fun of someone for their genetics is a dick move. But compulsive plastic surgery isn't genetics, it's a voluntary personal choice based on insecurity and vanity (obviously excluding medically recommended plastic surgery, like for severe burns, cleft lip, etc). That's fair game, as far as I'm concerned.

I mean, sort of?

It's much more likely to be indicative of a mental health issue, even if it's just anxiety. Insecurity around how one looks it's usually related to unrealistic societal pressures and bullshit public "standards" as to what qualifies as beautiful.

This usually occurs to women much worse than men and is often directly tied to their "value".

It's easy to see someone fuck their shit up with plastic surgery and go "haha, that's your choice", but, in general, our modern western society is hyper individualistic, where people's difficulties are said to be personal failings. Whereas as a socially evolved species, it's much more tied to our peers and culture than people either realise, or want to admit.

Plus it's easier to ignore these things when you don't like the person at the center of the current discussion

JD vance's appearance was made fun of in the same episode.

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

I haven't watched the episode, and I doubt she has seen it either.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It doesn't matter what point she imagines she's making since it's disingenuous anyway.

Anything less than glowing, fawning, sycophantic praise is unacceptable to these fascists. The FACT of the criticism is the point of contention, not the specifics.
