'As the new regime's symbols are raised above their capital, our reporters are being told that Yakko, Wakko and Dot have already sought to establish a government-in-exile. Speaking from his villa in Montenegro, Yakko was said to remark. "Farewell, my country, core of my heart. Goodbye, nurse."'

Max the comics guy who does comics about comics@waitingforthetrade.bsky.social · 3w agoThe thing I like about the X-Men is that if you join it doesn’t matter if you were an assassin or raised in a murder cult or worshipped as a god, at some point they will make you try to teach geometry to a bunch of fifteen year olds.

When I was seven(?), my parents took me to a fancy Cantonese restaurant with some friends of theirs. Very quiet, dignified, lots of tuxedo wearing waiters. Also the type of place and in the era where seafood was chosen live from tanks. My parents order a whole crab, naturally brought live to table.

Jumping off this to emphasise: "Trans ideology" is that trans people exist. Trans people *do* exist. You can meet them, some are on this very app! Ergo, opposition to "trans ideology" is opposition to the continued existence of a group of people. That's, in effect, a genocidal intent.
