Good, it is about time we stop shoving this idea down everyone’s throats. We don’t need the propaganda everywhere we turn in our day to day lives. They can enable it during the month of June when every corporation turns their icons rainbow, and leave it at that.
My man just managed to write the dumbest comment I’ve ever read on Lemmy, congrats. I wonder how long it will take for somebody to overtake your achievement.
Here’s someone who hasn’t ever read a study on population and how many people identify as trans in nations that support it…
Because that’s literally what happens. On both “sides”. (I kind of cringe at calling them sides, because I don’t care about their orientation, but for the sake of argument)
It’s almost like lefties, or autistic people. Now that there’s widespread awareness and easy(-ish) medical diagnosis available, people end up figuring out they’re zebras instead of weird horses.
And, like left handed people it will most likely plateau at a steady percentage after a while.
If colors can disgust you this much, you’re the problem. People who identify as LGBTQIA+ live their lives by that same identity 12 months out of the year, not when it’s convenient for bigots and corporations.
I don’t use any social media with the exception of Lemmy. No Tiktok, No Instagram, No Facebook, No Threads, No Twitter, none of it. I still see constant alphabet-mafia propaganda everywhere.
Have you ever considered it’s not propaganda and just people wanting to feel comfortable in their own skin? Propaganda is saying identifying as non-cis is wrong. Identifying itself as anything, including cis is just called “living”.
Propaganda is saying identifying as non-cis is wrong.
No, Propaganda is pushing any viewpoint you want to be more adopted. It doesn’t necessarily have to disparage anything else.
Like an iPhone ad. They don’t put up messages that are like “ew you’re an Android user, you’re so stupid and ugly”…they just put up an ad talking about how awesome having an iPhone is.
Same thing.
You don’t need a facebook theme to feel comfortable in your own skin. It’s there so you can make absolutely sure that everyone around you knows your orientation. Like an advertisement.
Absolutely. I had a phase in my life like that. I grew out of it eventually. If I had never been introduced to black culture, do you think I would have ever taken to it?
Propaganda is the deliberate dissemination of information aimed at influencing public opinion, often through manipulation and selective presentation of facts[1][7]. It typically serves a specific agenda and employs emotional appeals or distortions to persuade an audience[5][9].
In contrast, an LGBT theme in a messenger app promotes inclusivity and representation without manipulating beliefs. It encourages acceptance rather than enforcing a specific ideology, allowing users to express their identity freely[8]. This distinction highlights that while propaganda seeks to control perceptions, inclusive themes foster understanding and dialogue.
Congratulations, you’ve somehow managed to read words and still not understand them. That’s certainly not a first on Lemmy, but you’re certainly in a select few!
Oh no, not my mod history! Whatever will I do? You’ll see all the echo-chamber mods that removed my posts for having a different opinion! Oh noooooooooooooooo
It’s not that I don’t like it, I couldn’t care less. But as an example, let’s see, how about, almost a hundred years of straight heterosexual cisgender couples sucking face in the vast majority of movies and TV shows ever produced?
Why would sex be considered ‘impure’ anyhow? Humans moved past pleasure simply for procreation long ago. You can do whoever you want, idgaf. Are you assuming I’m some sort of religious follower? Nah. Pretty anti-theist and non-believing. Thanks for participating! You missed your mark though.

its getting SHOVED down your throat is it? are you gagging? is your mascara running? fuck off
Thanks for the reminder of why I have you tagged as “Transphobic Piece of Sh¡T”
Thanks for the reminder that I can tag users!
Same reason I have you tagged as a heterophobic. I doubt you’re a piece of shit though. You probably at least mean well.
Aww a triggered cissy, how cute :D I hope your life is full of heterophobes :3
My man just managed to write the dumbest comment I’ve ever read on Lemmy, congrats. I wonder how long it will take for somebody to overtake your achievement.
I hope one day you will read your comments from 2025 and think: “Oh shit, was I this obnoxious!”
Yeah look at all the gays and trans kids that got propagandized to be straight and cis because of all the heteronormativity in the media!

You sound like such a bottom right now.
bet you’re huge on facebook

Hahahahaha you people are so fucking weird

If you see a black person on TV, do you think that will make you want to become black?
Absolutely. I had a phase in my life like that. I grew out of it eventually. If I had never been introduced to black culture, do you think I would have ever taken to it?
The fact that you think being black is a lifestyle choice does a lot to explain your other comments in this thread.

Congratulations, you’ve somehow managed to read words and still not understand them. That’s certainly not a first on Lemmy, but you’re certainly in a select few!
This is the dumbest shit I’ve read today. Thanks
Congratulations, you’re about as smart as a MAGA republican then.
Why don’t you add Lemmy to the list of social media you don’t have?
Nah. I’ll be here for the foreseeable future. If only just to make the echo chamber a little less echo-y.
Looking at your moderation history, it doesn’t seem that way…
Oh no, not my mod history! Whatever will I do? You’ll see all the echo-chamber mods that removed my posts for having a different opinion! Oh noooooooooooooooo
Anyways… you could discuss the topic at hand…
Noted
If a colour theme is enough to set you off, you may want to have an honest conversation with yourself about those feelings you are repressing.
And they always phrase it as something being “shoved down their throat”. Freud would have a field day with it.
Well he was Freud. Everything tied back to dicks and mothers. Make of that what you will. Maybe it was a Freudian slip.
It’s rumoured that he and Jung were sharing more than their theories on psychoanalysis in their formative years, so maybe that had a lasting effect.
Can we get people to also then stop shoving their cisgender straightness down our throats as well? Would only be fair.
Can you provide an example of this cis shit being showed in your throat on fediverse?
We are talking about the general public sphere, not here.
OK then example in the public sphere that you don’t like?
It’s not that I don’t like it, I couldn’t care less. But as an example, let’s see, how about, almost a hundred years of straight heterosexual cisgender couples sucking face in the vast majority of movies and TV shows ever produced?
Don’t forget the toxic Manosphere out there in the genpop. Many young men are drawn into the Rogan-type bs.
OK… But they are the majority and the target audience for these movies.
Do you expect heterosexual relationships to be censored?
What does it being the majority have to do with it? Being skinny is overrepresented in movies but that doesn’t seem to hurt sales.
If you cant handle non heteo relationships, then why should anyone be forced to handle hetro relationship? See how stupid you sound?
Citation?
Build a strawman to call me stupid?
Cute
If we’re choosing to censor non-heterosexual relationships? Absolutely.
Unresolved issues detected lol
Attacking hetero couples within the modern power structure is a very odd approach here
You are doing too much culture wars, not enough class war.
Are the bright colors giving you impure thoughts?
Why would sex be considered ‘impure’ anyhow? Humans moved past pleasure simply for procreation long ago. You can do whoever you want, idgaf. Are you assuming I’m some sort of religious follower? Nah. Pretty anti-theist and non-believing. Thanks for participating! You missed your mark though.
An interesting collection of words in an order I’m sure made sense when you typed it.
