Japan's media is wholesome, all right. Way, way too fucking wholesome. You want to experience toxic positivity, just put on Japanese TV for a couple days.

By the six hundredth time you've heard a woman squeal "OH, AMAZING! THIS IS SO GOOD!" you'll want to gouge out your own earballs.

They've got a culture where the population is literally going extinct because they won't fuck. Maybe not the true model for success, there.

This may depend on the context 😄

Western culture used to be positive.

The banksters, and their media scumbags are sabotaging the west. People act out what they see on TV.

The problem is, when "Happy Days" was the top show on TV, and the network censors wouldn't even let Fonzi wear a leather jacket unless he had his motorcycle with him because otherwise he'd look too rough... the murder rate was almost 10 per 100K, twice of what it is now.

There's just no clear correlation between how heavily we censor the airwaves and how likely people are to harm each other.

You're equating violence with tv?

Cars drove with leaded fuel back then. Tens of thousands of people were traumatized by murdering people in Vietnam.

There's certainly a correlation with media exposure and behavior.

If this wasn't a fact, then Commercials wouldn't exist.

Your example is absurd.

Propaganda is extremely effective.

Um, no, I'm not equating violence with TV. I'm doing the opposite: showing that violence doesn't correllate well with censorship.

It's true that corporations have been hopping on the bandwagon of social movements to try to see if they can squeeze a buck out of them, but they didn't create the social movements.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say in this reply.

It sounds like you're agreeing with my response.

Who is that message for? Based on the suicide rates for troons, they're doing more killing than any other demographic.

It's manufacturing the divide.

Are they asking McDonalds to stop killing them with calories?

[–]Tom_BombadilBombadildo[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

McDonald's is a genocide!

Having never killed one of them, can I please unsubscribe from their messaging service now?

Ok, so let's do some simple math here.

Apparently "at least" 32 trans people were killed in 2022. That doesn't mean because of a hate crime or anything, in total.

26,031 people in total were killed in 2022.

1.03 or 2.6 million adults in the US identity as trans. (though pew research says that it may be as high as 5%)

There are 331.9 million people in the US right now.

So that means regular Americans are being killed at 0.0078%

Trans people are being killed at 0.0012%.

If that math checks out, your average person is being killed at almost 7 times the rate of trans people. Clearly these numbers aren't really accurate, they are fudged so hard to help whatever point they are making.

The biggest danger to trans people is themselves by FAR. Put them in padded rooms if you really care about their safety.
