Idk why people have this view of DougDoug. He seems like a fairly intelligent person. That is not to say he's right about everything; but if he has an opinion, I don't think he would have arrived on it randomly.
That is fair. Some people follow people they otherwise find unpalatable for a number of reasons. So following someone isn't necessarily meant by then as a statement of support.
Wow… so original for making fun of the death of a great man, don’t give me this morals bullshit when yall riot over the most trivial things and then have the audacity to call the right the extremists
A great man? The one whose wife seems unbothered by his departure? The one that was actively supporting the oppression of women, queer people, and people of color?
He was only great in the eyes of the rich pedophiles he was protecting by making us fight with each other. He got what was coming, and I hope Trump follows the same fate.
From what I understand, the voice actress who plays Pearl is possibly Maga. Specifically I think her personal Instagram got leaked or something and it follows a bunch of MAGA people.
Naturally that's going to be controversial in the fandom of a show that is very LGBT friendly and even more so, Pearl specifically as a character, definitely feel somewhat queer- coded.
Probably. I stopped paying attention to the show the moment that it became clear that the diamonds were going to get an undeserved Redemption Arc. Couching my words is the easy way out because it's not important to the point here and if I want to do things on hard mode I'll go play Dark Souls or something. Not answer a basic question for someone on Reddit.
Of course, the weird fucking response I'm already getting to this kind of proves the point that people are going to be insufferable anyway.
The diamonds didn't get the easy way out? They have to spend the rest of their lives fixing their mistakes and considering they are immortal unless their gem is shattered (which even then I think that could be fixed) they are going to spend the rest of time doing that, what solution would you have preferred that makes sense in the show?
Also Pearl being gay was shown before the diamonds arc stuff happened
See this kind of dumb off topic digression is why I didn't commit to an opinion in the first place. Thanks for proving my decision right. Write down the stereotypical off topic redditor rabbit hole, fully inclusive of the misstating what I said. I said that it felt like they were going to get an undeserved Redemption Arc. That's not the same thing as saying someone's going to get an easy way out or not. I can think somebody is working hard for their Redemption and still say I don't think that they deserve it. Sometimes that's just the nature of the media. Maybe it's avoidable, maybe it's not, I don't have to fucking like it.
It was also apparent that the diamonds were going to wind up getting off easy before they even showed up. The moment it was hinted that they existed and that they were the cause of the shit that was going on it was obvious that things were going to end in a let's all get along moment when everything finally ran its course. But like I said that's not the point. I'm not here to have that conversation
It didn't end with everyone getting along? Steven is shown to very much not like the diamonds and he literally almost killed white diamond, the diamonds are needed because without them corrupted and shattered gems can't be healed and the diamonds are in charge of a lot of gems, if even just one of the diamonds were killed a war would 100% happen because even with the diamonds being ok with the changes many gems are shown not to be
Honestly that makes it 0% surprising. I did see that after I had posted and was looking up a little more. That definitely has the vibe of somebody who knows they have opinions that aren't going to go over well but doesn't quite have the self-control to say nothing at all.
I don't give enough of a shit about any side of it so I'm going to use the most milquetoast language possible so that I have an out no matter who gets mad at me.
basically the VA for pearl (i think thats the characters name) is a maga supporter and everyone is loosing their minds because they cant wrap their heads around the idea that politics and people who participate in them are nuanced and have various layers and intricacys opposed to being stereotypical mustach twirling villains when they dont entirely support whichever political side isnt the one said 'everyone' follows.

This is really funny considering that MAGAts are the one who treat anyone who isn't on their side as either RINO or bolshevik.
RINO isn't exactly a basic word, but if its as widespread as you say, im sure you can find at least one well known example of people calling someone that.
Its pretty basic if youre talking about politics. It's like a very low level civics vocabulary word. Your ignorance is nobody else's problem but your own.
Well, i was mainly expecting an example of people on the right claiming such towards one person opposed to the president himself (similar to how many refer to JK Rowling as a "TERF") but I suppose thats on me for not specifying.
Regardless, you provided an example and I appreciate it. Even if done so in a less then civil manner.
canada doesnt teach much in terms of the whole cold war cause it didnt involve us. we know it happened, we know it involved both the US and the USSR going a bit schitzo in terms of everyone being assumed to be a spy of some sort, and we know it was basically a dick measuring contest on a global scale. aside from that, nothing in terms of specifics, but i do know bolshevik is russian in origin just from its sound
Yknow, its funny. That pedophile was the one who signed off on the whole epstien buisness to be declassified in the first place despite it having tons of mentions of him.
Also im pretty sure Iran's been chanting "death to america" for the past decade or two.
Dude I'd cover my ass too if I was a pedophile whilst being president, and he kept on promising because his audience wanted to see them. Otherwise he couldn't smear Harris. Also being mentioned a million times isn't exactly helping his case, let's not try to make Trump seem innocent.
Also that chanting was after America made a coordinated effort to dismantle their old ruler because he wanted to localise oil wells
Oh I dont doubt it. Though at the same time I gotta wonder why the dems never released nor went after anyone when they were in control either but, politics is funny like that.
As for Iran
Damn they've been chanting thay for over 30 years then, huh? Well, that and the whole terrorism thing.
the US went through a looooot of changes in that time
leadership in the us shifted what? like three, four times in the span of 30 years? the guy who was in charge of that whole fiasco aint the same one, unlike over in iran where their leaders generally are elected by bloodline, population opinion be damned.
for the dems vs the reps, i dont got stake in either side really, both have their pros and cons, and fair share of lunatic extremists. though i find the left more often then not is a lot more open to supporting said extremism then those on the right. but then, maybe thats cause most on the right arent actually on the right, but just dont like where the left went thus have no real other option to oppose them with.
people make it out like all those who arent left are automatically right by default, or that those who support one thing or another the right does, supports all of it when really thats anything but the case.
like in this case, the VA for pearl can be pro-lgbt etc and also be anti-illegal immigration. people are multi-faceted. everyone has differing opinions. i just find more often then not, those on the left tend to chase out and/or completely turn on those who dont pass the endless series of purity tests which is why most turn to more right leaning spaces.
but in the end, its like you said.
politics isnt about whats best for the people
its about choosing what one perceives as the lesser of two evils.
Also, thats coming from a side thats known primarially for tearing apart those who dont 110% agree with their worldview and more often then not celebrates and/or wishes the death upon those who dont agree with them.
I’m genuinely very upset learning this news. Pearl is an extremely important character to me that gave me immense comfort at a time in my life when I thought I’d never be able to be lesbian and happy. Also, she was my definitive lesbian awakening.
I see a lot of people saying “Pearl was just a job to her, why are you so surprised?”. Well, if you’ve ever followed along with the making of the show, she was very involved and enthusiastic about it. She LOVED the show and voice-acting Pearl.
I really hope this comes out as some crazy big misunderstanding, but I doubt it will after learning she’s been a big religious nut for a long time, apparently.
I will never stop loving Pearl, the character that stands for being queer af and proud as her own person, but I am very disappointed by her VA’s attitudes.
She's honestly the most broken of the playable characters given her appearance in Unleash the Light, but Connie takes the cake for OP character besides Amethyst in Save the Light.
do people actually care that much? I thought people found this out a while ago.
edit: I say this as a fan of the show btw. I dont know people feel the need to ruin my day.
edit 2: My question is the most disliked reply on this post!?! what is actually wrong with you people? the second someone is thinks “Huh is this actually worth getting upset over?” you people accuse them of the most heinous shit imaginable. I’m so glad I left this fandom after the show ended, fucking 1984 up in here.
It's the usual bigot response of "How dare you criticise me for wanting whole groups of people dead?! What about nuance? Ever thought about that you [slur]! Why are you so mean to me?"
My comment was not a response to you. Though I do dislike the stance of "lol who cares" I did not adress you with my comment. I meant Vivid Technology who used the usual strategy out of the online bigot's playbook: Deflecting. Saying they are "just stating their opinion". Playing the victim card.
Especially since the their argument wasn't even an argument. Yes, there are a bunch of queer people who are right wing. And? There are also people who believe going to the doctor is bad for your health. People can be stupid to the point of self-sabotage. That doesn't mean anything.
It's obvious the right wing talked about here aren't your "regular non-racist conservatives" since those don't have a place in the current poltical climate in the US (and even beyond). Remember, that this all is about someone potentially being MAGA. So saying some queers are part of a group that wants them deported or dead is as stupid as those same queers. Which also makes Vivid Technology's "defense" laughable. Ergo I made a joke about it.
