Indeed, that movie is actually scary! Like proper scary, not how most movies are.

You make a good point but I don't agree it's transphobia still.

We pick people to be around from a number of reasons. Usually because they make us feel good and have similar culture. This is why people of similar culture usually ends up living in the same places. This is why similar people become friends.

There are entire cities in Spain where only Nordic people live. And same thing in other countries. This is because they want to live near people with the same culture.

Trans people is something new and different, and it will take time before everyone is comfortable around them. This is not transphobia (irrational fear) or racism. This is human nature.

With time, it will become normal for people to have trans people around. But today it's unusual and people need to adapt to it.

I'm arguing that to make it easier to get to know Trans people, we have every opportunity here on Lemmy for example. If everyone remains friendly.

I'm arguing that Transphobia is not hate driven, not for the majority of normal people anyway. They just don't feel comfortable and wants to avoid trans people because of that.

It's human nature to want to avoid situations that makes us uncomfortable. That being said, of course there is a minority of haters. But it's far from being the majority. The majority don't even want to deal with it and they just avoid it.

And I would welcome if trans people would start joining conversations like this one without assuming that everyone is out to hurt them.

Why? Also seems perfectly natural to me.

I understand. Isn't that even more of a reason to connect to people here?

Should we just not talk to them? Leave them alone so they don't get scared by our comments?

I would rather see them as part of the community like anyone else.

Strangely enough, many people do things for other reasons than money. :)

Then entire idea of open source wouldn't exist if people were only motivated by money. As an example.

Well to be fair, this is because of the stupid justice system in the US.

Just the term "afford to fight for it" is something that never should exist in a civilized society.

No its still good, I agree. But just worth being aware they are trying to appeal to content creators now.

Well money itself is meaningless, so capitalism is also meaningless. It's most humans wasting their days and their lives because they have to work.

It's a big hamster wheel to keep us busy.

The plot of terminator is actually relevant to our society right now... :P

Since we are pretty much going that route.

Underrated comment. But I'm tired of Musk. He should shoot himself into space.

I guess I will watch this when it comes out on torrents but the story is seemingly not very interesting (from an imdb review) :

Can a doll with impossibly perfect features and a smile of perpetual happiness truly embody feminist ideals?

Gerwig compels the audience to contemplate this question, weaving it throughout the fabric of the film.

Maybe if I was a teenager.
