Rules

1.) No bigotry of any kind, and don't be a jerk either

Bigotry includes but is not limited to: ableism, casteism, homophobia, lookism, queerphobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, and xenophobia. Bigotry towards non-binary people is transphobia. Truscum rhetoric is also bigotry. You getting punished for your hateful opinion, however, is not bigotry.

2.) No Spam

This includes both advertising and breaking your or my Lemmy instance's rules, such as vote manipulation or brigading.

3.) Posts must have something to do with being trans, or about trans experiences

Try to stay away from negative political events too. You can joke about it, but bringing attention to something bad happening in the world might take someone out of their comfort zone— this is an escape from the constant news cycle for some.

4.) No Selfies or Character Creations

Selfies are not memes! This is not a community for selfies. Picrews and other character creations such as Sims and Mii's are considered bandwagoning, and perhaps can be a part of a different community.

5.) SFW-only

This is an all ages community, so we prefer it if you take the NSFW stuff to one of the more adult oriented communities. Note: nudity is not allowed, we want everybody to be comfortable here.

6.) Submissions must be a meme or they will be removed
7.) Swearing is fine, but slurs are not

We want everybody to feel safe and comfortable here, so even if you want to reclaim a pejorative word that applies to you— we ask that you don't, as this is a light-hearted community and others stumbling across your post might feel unsafe.

8.) Embedded submissions should only link to trusted image sharing sites, no IP grabbers or link shorteners
9.) Use but don't misuse the report button

If something breaks these rules, or this Lemmy instance's rules, please report it.

10.) Please do not link to any terf, racist, or any other hate communities or forums

Bigots like those do not deserve any attention. Any post or comment linking to a hate community or forum will be removed

11.) Don't be a jerk nor a troll

Be nice, and don't create social chaos. That's it. Pretty simple, huh?

Some notes:

1.) We highly encourage you to use alt text in your posts, so everybody can enjoy this community
2.) It would be really nice if you flaired your posts accordingly in the title

For example, a meme about the non-binary experience could have a title like this: "[NB] Story of my life!" This will make searching for content much easier.

3.) Don't break the law

This includes the country you live in as well as the country your instance is hosted in

Sibling forums:

!egg_irl

Trans memes specifically about being closeted, unaware or in denial

!196

Ordinary memes, but the community is very trans-accepting— and it only has one rule: when you encounter the page you must post a meme from your camera roll

Hey, non bigoted hate for once. Progress is progress.

[–] JadeSleeps@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Tbh I gotta respect this, I fully get it some folks just don't vibe with certain performances by actors or certain actors in general even if that actor didn't do anything wrong or did multiple earth shatteringly good performances.

It's weird, but .. I find that almost .. wholesome?

[–] Shou@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

It's hate with respect! The best king of hate!

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (14 children)

I kind of get it. Their awkwardness may or may not be some sort of comedic relief in Umbrella Academy. Hard Candy was an okay movie I guess.

I'm a huge fan of Inception but I have to admit that Elliot is fairly flat in that movie. Page's earlier work seems to have more dynamic characters, like Hard Candy, Trailer Park Boys, and Juno. Page has always been my celebrity crush though so I'm pretty biased.

Wow, I forgot he was in trailer park boys. What a beautiful show.

When artists become successful they often seem to lose the spark that got them there. Not sure what to do with that, tho.

[–] Carl@lemm.ee 10 points 2 days ago (3 children)

There's a studied effect on pro athletes where getting paid to play makes them lose their love of the game, and I think it's something like that. Anecdotally I used to love acting but I didn't even last a year in the theatre industry before I burned out and haven't acted in a single thing since.

I have had the same with my job as IT developer. It was a hobby for years but then I got paid and did my hobby paid, making the hobby less fun.

Now that I've grown in my job, I'm more in IT architecture, and less writing code loosely, which makes the hobby field of IT available and fun again.

"I see you for who you are, you are valid, and you still suck" is a "delightful" take.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 144 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My sister taught me a lot about trans people when she transitioned and was just as awful as she was before. I held out the hope that it would somehow "fix" her from being a loud jerk, but that's not how transitioning works.

That being said every other trans person I've ever met has been perfectly lovely so I know it's not bigotry.

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 125 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Trans people, like all other people, can be assholes. Assholery transcends everything. But so does goodness.

Don’t boo him he’s right.

Same with Nolan honestly, overrated as fuck. Go back and watch the Nolan Batman and you’ll see some of the absolute worst action scenes and fight choreography in cinema. He also seems to take pride in being a pretentious fuck who interjects all his movies with fart art bullshit, instead of just focusing on making the movie watchable

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh, you don't have a 17.5ch cinema surround sound set at home? Too bad, guess subtitles it is.

[–] Baylahoo@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Even cinemas struggled to make that audio mix nightmare distinguishable. You need subtitles every other scene with your 17.5 surround

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

That's really at least half of the movies released nowadays, not just his.

A big part of why I've mostly deserted movie theatres.

[–] Carl@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

The fact that Nolan puts in the effort to try to elevate his films above being popcorn slop is often what makes them stand out even if they sometimes fall short in other ways. If every director just painted by numbers then every movie would be a Marvel movie.

Honestly I don't see this one, but maybe it's because I'm used to way worse

[–] DerArzt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Try watching Tenet at home without subtitles.

[–] Chrobin@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 2 days ago (3 children)

There's probably no movie that changed my life as much as Interstellar. It's literally one reason why I'm starting my master's thesis in physics now. So Nolan movies will always be something special for me.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 11 points 2 days ago

Interstellar is really great. I just watched it on IMAX and I wish I had earlier.

The fact that Nolan isn’t getting the hint that people fucking HATE his sound mixing choices is insane to me.

I really thought I was about to read something very transphobic, but nope, someone just has strong opinions on acting.

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 113 points 3 days ago

The true hater. He hates your soul.

I hate you (respectfully)

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 87 points 3 days ago

He hates me for meee
