    Yeah sure “murder hornets”. Like “murder japs”, “murder communists”, “murder vietnamese”, “murder gays”, “murder blacks” or “murder arabs” before. I think I’ll hold off celebrating until I know how much oil those hornets had in stock.

    • Prethoryn@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Hey man, I don’t disagree with you.

      However, I think if you take every article you read and turn it into, “meanwhile I am waiting for someone to fix the planer.” You are not really doing much. All of us, including myself, want what you want but those are things that are irrelevant to this article and we should take to things that are relevant.

      Fuck fascism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and anything else that is down right degrading to any human being who is just trying to be happy

      In the same vain though, fuck hornets, fuck those little murderous monstrosities.

      • voldage@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        That was a joke about USA assigning threatening labels to anything it threatens or exploits to make public afraid of it instead of being supportive of it. As most jokes, it based on the subversion of expectations, which in this case was the suggestion that hornets are good and misunderstood. Comparing them and what they’re doing to bees to gay or black people was intended as a sprinkle of dark humor, implying their (hornets!) destructive nature finds parrarels with the multitude of oppressed kinds of people.

        Way to tell me I’m unfunny and my sense of humor sucks, man (jk)

      I hadnt heard “murder gays”. Not sure that one is very dangerous sounding. Statistically speaking, dangerous gay people must exist, I just have never met one personally. Odd.

      source
      • voldage@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Well, check Jeffrey Dahmer media portrayal. It fed well into the “gay panic” of the times. Check this article from 1994: latimes.com/…/la-xpm-1994-11-29-mn-2780-story.htm… Emphasis of the lust, homoeroticism etc. being the driving factor of the murders, while there are no mentions of diagnosed mental disorders. And yeah, “murder gay” sold far worse than, for example, “murder black” which is a timeless classic media go to each time any socioeconomic strife involving any black people happens. Seemingly the public was less receptive of the “murder gay” narrative so they eventually moved on.

    (camera focuses on the news playing on a TV in a home in the countryside, slowly pulling back away from the monitor)

    “…thanks to their efforts, experts have now stated with certainty that this threat has been eradicated”

    (the camera has pulled back enough that the screen is framed by an outside window with a tree trunk coming into frame from the right)

    “…many communities in the northwest united states can breathe a little easier knowing that the dreaded murder hornet is no longer on our shores. Reporting from Seattle…”

    (focus shifts to the tree bark. Buzzing is heard and a single murder hornet queen lands on the tree. Cut to black. Roll credits)

      Never. Cause the definition of “Invasive species” includes it being a problem. Otherwise they’re called “Introduced species”.

      • exploitedamerican@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yeah they are probably lying. They can not know with 100% certainty that these giant asian hornets have all been eradicated in the us. They couldn’t get rid of something as benign as the spotted lantern fly or the marmorated stink bug but sure lets believe they got rid of a hornet as big as a humming bird that has facial recognition capabilities and can unalive people with a swarm no larger than 50 to 100 of the fuckers

      Pretty uncommon but it has happened. Especially with agricultural pests where there is a large industry that can push for a proper response. I’m guessing beekeepers were the industry in question this time.
