We still have freedom of speech, for now. While the brainlets on twitter and other social media censor eachother, we can still say and think whatever we want. Its just that people are pushed by it into one of several dumbass corners that many ideas appear lost.
Luckily, platforms like lemmy emerge to hopefully counter some of that effect.
Well, yeah. Both Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel were met with extreme vitriol from people who would rather not see a woman in their super hero universe. Should we expect those people to have gone through a maturation process in the last 4 years?
Not liking the new Marvel movie is fine. Making it about race or sex is what makes you a racist for not liking the new Marvel movie. This thread apparently thinks those people don’t exist lol
Eh, while it’s not as common as other political psychosis, I have directly been told, “you just don’t like strong women.” to my face, for saying I didn’t like how they utterly failed to develop Rey as a character in the new Star Wars trilogy and the movies suck over all.
Apparently wanting good, cohesive writing where main characters actually have lessons to learn and growth to do makes me a sexist to them, all because I can point to Luke, a guy, failing a bunch?
Think about taxing the rich? THAT’S SOCIALISM
Ponder if an apartheid state is doing a genocide? ANTISEMITISM
Don’t like the new Marvel movie? SEXIST! RACIST!
Freedom of speech died long ago and now there is no flow of ideas, even incrementally. We’re in big trouble

Kinda sus on that third question
I have seen this argument used against people who didn’t like the Marvels.

Some people really DO need to “touch grass”.
