Seems the country is not aligned with the views on Lemmy.
It’s always sex stuff that gets Americans worked up.
America has, since inception, been absolutely fine with violence, often celebrating it, and completely disgusted with sexuality. It’s perhaps the single most backwards thing about North American culture, imo.
But what do you expect out of a society whose entire history is “we wanted to go somewhere else, so we came to this place and killed the natives that got in our way.”
But a lot of other people did that and aren’t hung up about sex.
I think it’s the fact that Trump acts and surrounds himself with homophobic people so the idea of him giving head to his enemy he’s openly complained about is hilarious to no end. That and the actual implications with Putin holding the photos over his head.
This also opens the door to trump having blown putin
Horses can’t consent
The issue is that Americans on the Left would be offended to learn that their political leader was a complete hypocrite, so they assume that Americans on the right would feel the same way. Meanwhile, the truth is that Americans on the Right only pretend to have moral standards, while in actuality, they will simply follow their leaders regardless of what they do.
I don’t think that is an exlusively american thing though.
so they assume that Americans on the right would feel the same way
Hum… They seem to be reacting quite strongly to finding out their leader is a hypocrite.
They just care about him being a hypocrite on different things.
American whites, raping children is a o k. but consensual same sex between adults is wrong?
Let’s just take the W on this one, ok?
I dunno what y’all will win, it’s certainly a good laugh;
There is nothing more damaging to the narcissistic dictator’s fragile ego than emasculation. Let us merely hope that the hits keep coming.
What if it’s the horse? Still probably not on the same level. What if it wasn’t consensual? Now it gets trickier…
Nobody confirmed it was consensual or with a guy tbf. Could have been that horse
It ain’t zesty with your bestie
Yeah, libs have been very open about homophobia and ableism since Trump was elected and they had a crisis that warranted a suspension of the performance. Statistically, we know most men in the US are complacent with or perpetrators of sexual violence and a significant amount – even the majority in some places – fetishize youth and teen women. For Americans, it really is more reputation destroying to have done queer shit than to be a rapist pedophile (this includes “ephebophiles,” sorry).
They’re not going to get mad about racism and genocide, it isn’t even going to be on their minds because they don’t actually oppose the underlying values that facilitate those policies currently. They will make a show of anti-racism and constitution protection so long as it remains a rhetorical response exclusively.
