- Comment on Bella Ramsey Says ‘It’s Important’ to Keep Gendered Awards for Best Actor and Actress: ‘Recognition for Women in the Industry’ Must Be ‘Preserved’ 8 hours ago:
Once again the title of the article says ‘gender’ but the entire article only mentions sexes. Come on…
A brief explanation:
‘Man’ and ‘woman’ are now binary references to the individual’s gender if known to be such, or appearance if said individual presents as mostly masculine or feminine in a social setting, as the terms have always been used to refer to a person. In contrast, ‘male’ and ‘female’ are references to the individual’s sex and genitalia. Gender is not sex.Additionally:
Gender is the name given to an aspect of personality relating to a few traits that have been defined by current societal ideals as masculine or feminine, quantified with a whole set of labels because people must be quantifiable by tickboxes, apparently. Sex is originally assigned at birth by many hospitals and population censuses once the existence of reproductive organs on the individual has been verified as male or female, and regardless of whether an internal reproductive system transplant takes place, can be changed.Older folk are confused, because they’ve been referring to sexes as genders for decades. We need to get this right.

True but the purpose of sex/mating isn’t solely to be gratifying to a viewer, it’s a natural part of life
- Comment on John Lithgow Says He Was Surprised by Backlash Over Joining ‘Harry Potter’ Series 1 week ago:
Keeping Rowling in as an exec producer (paid role) is hella bold. HBO clearly don’t let external factors stop them from hiring a talented personnel, which is admirable, but a LOT of people will be mad about this. If ratings matter to them financially, they might regret this decision. Hell, Hogwarts Legacy got a lot of angry folk rejecting its existence (looking at you, r/GirlGamers) despite Rowling getting no royalties from it (Warner Bros. paid her upfront so boycotting only hurt the amazing devs) and the devs writing in a transwoman as a supporting character.

- Comment on Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos Says Movie Theater Model Is ‘Outdated’: ‘Most of the Country’ Cannot ‘Walk to a Multiplex’ 1 week ago:
Being unable to walk has nothing to do with it. In the UK we can easily access theatres but any screening rarely has more than 10 seats booked.

There are also about 450,000 other gods to choose from, and about 5 are the same monotheistic source of evil that humans have used as a scapegoat to kill each other over. Western modernist Christianity is literally the English cuisine of religions.

That’s shocking. Interestingly, it only autogenerated that spiel for Gemma. Gemini (2.0 Flash for Image Generation) generated perfectly fine
