Thank you for your input. The continuing deterioration of society is noted.Big RR wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 1:50 pmCome on Meade, isn't Lightyear an animated movie? Since when do pieces of plastic have a gender of any kind (they may be made up to look like they have a gender, but they have none), and when can pieces of plastic kiss? I wouldn't watch the movie at all as I have no interest in it (and hate this sort of animation), but you'll really skip it over something so ridiculous? I have no reply to that!
And we can add that all of those Disney heroines were minors when subjected to nonconsensual sexual contact.THIS IS WHAT HOMOPHOBIA LOOKS LIKE …
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: man stumbles into a forest, finds an apparently dead woman and kisses her on the lips. This is considered wholesome entertainment acceptable for young children.
Sleeping Beauty: man finds woman fast asleep in bed and kisses her on the lips. This is considered wholesome entertainment acceptable for young children.
The Little Mermaid: human man kisses a fish-woman while a lobster with a Jamaican accent and a bunch of fish sing kiss the girl. This is considered wholesome entertainment acceptable for young children.
Beauty and the Beast: woman kisses man who is also sometimes a beast. This is considered wholesome entertainment acceptable for young children.
Lightyear: two women in a committed relationship share a kiss. This is considered to be part of a dangerous “gay agenda” and an attempt to “groom” kids.
Disney to feature ‘first openly gay teen romance’ in new animated film Strange World
Upcoming animated Disney film Strange World is to feature the studio’s “first openly gay teen romance in a feature”, according to a production designer.
The film, which stars Dennis Quaid, Lucy Liu, Gabrielle Union and Jaboukie Young-White, is scheduled for release in November. And, as Variety reports, contains a romantic plot between two teen boys.
Matthieu Saghezchi, an animation production designer, confirmed the romance on Twitter, stating: “Just saw the very first glimpse into Disney’s Strange World… it features the first openly gay teen romance in a Disney feature!!!
“The scene describes the son [Ethan, played by Young-White] being very shy in front of his boy crush, and his dad comes in and says ‘so nice to meet you! My son talks about you all the time’ and further embarrasses his son. Very cute.”
The film, which was announced at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in France, follows a family of adventurers who travel to new worlds.
Disney has been praised for refusing to remove a same-sex kiss from its new movie Lightyear, despite it being banned in 14 countries.
The spin-off of the critically acclaimed Toy Story movie franchise will not make it to cinemas in several countries including Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Lebanon.
The UAE’s Media Regulatory Office announced on Twitter that Lightyear is to be denied license for public screening due to a “violation of the country’s media content standards”.
Disney reinstated the same-sex kiss scene after removing it following an open letter from Disney-Pixar lambasting its parent company for suppressing “overtly gay affection”.
“We at Pixar have personally witnessed beautiful stories, full of diverse characters, come back from Disney corporate reviews shaved down to crumbs of what they once were,” the letter reads.
This follows months of criticism with regards to Disney’s actions on LGBTQ+ issues, with several Disney staffers staging a walk-out after the company’s handling of Florida’s harmful “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
Staffers were angered after Disney initially refused to speak against the bill while funding Republicans who backed the bill; CEO Bob Chapek has since backtracked and paused all political donations in Florida.
Disney Plus wrote in a statement: “We strongly denounce all legislation that infringes on the basic human rights of people in the LGBTQIA+ community… especially legislation that targets and harms young people and their families.”
Apparently not.Good grief. Doesn't take much to get knickers into an unnecessary twist eh?

And the political condition of the USA is of course perfectly OK with everyone, right? Then there's no particular angst going on here about the loss of democracy, concern for the failure of constitutional processes, complaints of the breakdown of proper societal relations. Good. Mass murder is becoming a norm because we all know that a preference for anything past is in fact a rejection of progress.
I doubt there has been a time in history when those same concerns were not present; this is nothing new.Then there's no particular angst going on here about the loss of democracy, concern for the failure of constitutional processes, complaints of the breakdown of proper societal relations.
The political condition of the USA -- or any empire/civilization throughout history -- has never been perfectly OK with everyone at any time; that's the nature of humans and their societies, constantly dissatisfied and wanting something more. The fall of any empire/civilization/socio-political system is a transition but not necessarily a tragedy. The USA and democracy may or may not survive this particular era, and although I will do what is in my power to preserve it, I am not under any illusion that this is the only system of social organization under which people survive and even thrive on this planet. My grandparents and their grandparents and generations before lived under the Tsar in what was then Imperial Russia. Things can always be better, but what constitutes "awful" is often a matter of perspective. The other day I was wondering what it must have been like to live in the Sassanian Empire (Babylonia) in the 3rd Century or so CE; it was an extraordinary time of diversity and explosive cultural growth in what must have seemed to be the center of the universe (screw the Romans). And as for "mass murder," it seems to me it is somewhat less of a "norm" today than it was from 1939 to 1945, for example.MajGenl.Meade wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 6:11 pmAnd the political condition of the USA is of course perfectly OK with everyone, right?

As I am sure you understood, my comment wasn't focused on "things" but what I perceive as the general progress of human society since pre-history. Improvements in tower design and construction seemed an obvious metaphor.MajGenl.Meade wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 6:11 pmWhat have "things" (such as elevators and HVAC systems) to do with the deterioration of civil discourse, bthe increasing enshrinement of relativity of truth, the growing tyranny of the minorities and continuing moral decay?
See transition/tragedy, above.MajGenl.Meade wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 6:11 pmOTOH it's a fact that all civilizations rise and fall (thus far) and there is no reason this one should escape that fate. So, yes - decline is inevitable. Compost is always necessary for the future.
That's a bit less than I expected.And as for "mass murder," it seems to me it is somewhat less of a "norm" today than it was from 1939 to 1945, for example.
Not really sure what you mean by that.MajGenl.Meade wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 9:48 pmOh, Sue.
