jesus christ they’re dumb
They know exactly what they're doing, it's a "purification," not entirely dissimilar to the same that happened in the 1930s in Germany.
I think most people realise. It's still really fucking dumb
Nononono! They're super-smart! Even when everything they do looks exactly what an incredibly stupid person would do that's just because they're playing 1000D chess! They've thought of everything so we should all just give up and accept their rule.
Does everyone big country have to go through that phase?
When nobody stands up to stop the fascists, yes.
not at all. trying to eliminate gay people from history, and also a nice convenient moment to sweep some war crimes under the rug
People like this don’t think it was wrong
they're not who they're manufacturing consent from. it's the ~55% of people who apparently listen to nothing but spotify and watch nothing but entertainment
Also apparently any photo of any Black or woman service member.
Because they didn't consider the possibility that women and Black service members did noteworthy things based on their actual merit.
Wow. That's pretty blatant.
The Tuskegee airmen thing pisses me off so much. Like brick-throwing shit-burning degree of angry.
Including a Hispanic Marine who received a Medal of Honor for jumping on a grenade to save his comrades. Medal given in 1946, the infamous period of DEI...
Normal country
Normal things are done in it.
I’m fine. We’re fine. We’re all fine here. How are you?
"It was a lousy conversation anyway. Chewie, we're gonna have company!"
If they do this then they should at least be consistent and remove every mention of the words Straight, Bi, Pan and Trans as well
Taking your Biplane for a transatlantic flight, straight to the Panama canal? That's a paddlin
Via the Gulf of Mexico.
Bicycles are banned. Cars are no longer allowed to have transmissions either.
Tran-sport in general is banned. So is all Bi-ology.
Transatlantic towards Panama?
We Europeans didn't ban those words.
Transcontinental would work though
I wonder how the fascies will say: "I need a new frying pan"
That phrase is an incantation to cause aneurysms in racist grandpas.
I was really hoping this was a case of intentional malicious compliance to draw attention to the stupidity of this new policy. No such luck.
find /mnt/gubarmentfiles/ -name "*gay*" -exec rm {} \;
-- some dogenerate, propably.
I don't believe that they're even that capable. Probably really on LLMs to write every script for them and don't know whether or not it actually works.
So the snowflakes have reached the banning words stage now, have they?
The Enola Gay is still mildly radioactive, so I can’t help but think “Hot gays in your area ready to bang”
This is just a book burning.
They're also removing pictures of a Medal of Honor recipient from World War 2. His crime? Being Hispanic. Because being Hispanic and being awarded the MoH posthumously is obviously DEI. From that infamous time of DEI awards, 1946.
Why can’t they just rename it Enola Straight?
Though Enola sounds pretty ethnic.
Enola sounds pretty close to Ebola... Two reasons to censor this picture!
I just did whatever the opposite of eating the onion is. I assumed this was the onion.
"Shat the onion"? Naah that doesn't too right either.
🤮 lol
Enola Sad and Straight
The fuck ???
It's the name of pilot's mother: Enola Gay Tibbets !!! It has nothing to do with LGBTQRSTwhatever !!!
Yes that's why it's the article.
This is just the right kind of absurd for our current government circus. I believe the headline completely without even reading the article.
I wonder if this is an example of malicious compliance.
Likely it's being done this way to overwhelm anf tire out the activists of all kinds ASAP, then the techbros can build their network states.
Have a yabba dabba do time, a dabba do time...
Jesus, they're going through and "purifying" all the different government archives. This is gonna do irreparable harm to our knowledge of history. Utterly vile
What are you doing this weekend, Trump? Something gay, no doubt?
Sucking on more toes.
Making the gay pay tarrifs.
This is hilarious.
It's infuriating
I mean, That too.
So censorship 🤣
They won't, they will be reviewed by a human being at some point and reinstated, they've been flagged by an automated program.
It's the Scunthorpe problem all over again.
That automated program flagged at least tens of thousands of historical photos, most of which aren't as silly as 'haha plane gay' but of actual people (some of whom are still very much alive) in a blatant attempt to literally whitewash American history. Like, they've flagged the photos of literal Medal of Honor recipients because their skin tone is darker than eggshell, this is objectively horrifying. The loss of even one of those files is completely disrespectful on a number of levels
Yeah, I'm sure everything is going to turn out A- ok with this whole thing. 👍👍
Oh, it most definitely won't. Just not for the reason everyone is saying.
No they aren't. There's too many. And nobody wants to be the one to get the blame. They're going to blame it on AI.
