The bigotry I fear the most in the UK is the middle class, polite society, whisper-it-softly hatred that JK Rowling and the Labour Party and most of the news media is pedalling in this country. It's insidious and it's slowly taking hold of everything.

Personally, I think it should be illegal to auto-generate closed captions, as they're an extremely reasonable accommodation and everyone that needs them deserves useful, quality descriptions.
Yes, it should be ILLEGAL for them to be auto-generated

Why don't any of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park sound like this? Missed opportunity tbh
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

My dad scarred me for life by telling me that I'm "supposed to be smart because your mom and I are smart" when I started getting bad grades in school.
Thinking you can control who your children are because of their genes is fucking evil

even if you plug your ears up to all the eugenicist propaganda here
the idea of “picking” your biological baby is… such a perversion of parenthood. imagine the family fallout from a designer baby eventually going against their design.

I saw this ad on the train and I’m curious how yall feel about it… I’m very much in the center, but slightly more towards than against…

NY minister comes out as trans to congregation during Sunday service, “I’m affirming and saying to all of you that I am transgender, and so the best way to put this is that I’m not becoming a woman, I’m giving up pretending to be a man,” Rev. Dr. Phillippa Phaneuf told her congregation #NOH8

Maybe if they pull stuff like this, just maybe, they should lose the license to that property, and it should go somewhere else where it'll actually be well taken care of.
Kadokawa stated that it did not approve of an AI dub, and Sentai stated that it wasn't aware of the dub beforehand.

It's an unenviable task to try and find a way to write in the stallion/mare cultural dichotomy to a universe where they're all girls, but I do actually like this as an answer. Primarily carrying over the social neglect of the Tiara and internalized misogyny that spawns is a pretty effective route!
