Rules

1.) No bigotry of any kind, and don't be a jerk either

Bigotry includes but is not limited to: ableism, casteism, homophobia, lookism, queerphobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, and xenophobia. Bigotry towards non-binary people is transphobia. Truscum rhetoric is also bigotry. You getting punished for your hateful opinion, however, is not bigotry.

2.) No Spam

This includes both advertising and breaking your or my Lemmy instance's rules, such as vote manipulation or brigading.

3.) Posts must have something to do with being trans, or about trans experiences

Try to stay away from negative political events too. You can joke about it, but bringing attention to something bad happening in the world might take someone out of their comfort zone— this is an escape from the constant news cycle for some.

4.) No Selfies or Character Creations

Selfies are not memes! This is not a community for selfies. Picrews and other character creations such as Sims and Mii's are considered bandwagoning, and perhaps can be a part of a different community.

5.) SFW-only

This is an all ages community, so we prefer it if you take the NSFW stuff to one of the more adult oriented communities. Note: nudity is not allowed, we want everybody to be comfortable here.

6.) Submissions must be a meme or they will be removed
7.) Swearing is fine, but slurs are not

We want everybody to feel safe and comfortable here, so even if you want to reclaim a pejorative word that applies to you— we ask that you don't, as this is a light-hearted community and others stumbling across your post might feel unsafe.

8.) Embedded submissions should only link to trusted image sharing sites, no IP grabbers or link shorteners
9.) Use but don't misuse the report button

If something breaks these rules, or this Lemmy instance's rules, please report it.

10.) Please do not link to any terf, racist, or any other hate communities or forums

Bigots like those do not deserve any attention. Any post or comment linking to a hate community or forum will be removed

11.) Don't be a jerk nor a troll

Be nice, and don't create social chaos. That's it. Pretty simple, huh?

Some notes:

1.) We highly encourage you to use alt text in your posts, so everybody can enjoy this community
2.) It would be really nice if you flaired your posts accordingly in the title

For example, a meme about the non-binary experience could have a title like this: "[NB] Story of my life!" This will make searching for content much easier.

3.) Don't break the law

This includes the country you live in as well as the country your instance is hosted in

Sibling forums:

!egg_irl

Trans memes specifically about being closeted, unaware or in denial

!196

Ordinary memes, but the community is very trans-accepting— and it only has one rule: when you encounter the page you must post a meme from your camera roll

I'm a huge fan of Inception but I have to admit that Elliot is fairly flat in that movie. Page's earlier work seems to have more dynamic characters, like Hard Candy, Trailer Park Boys, and Juno. Page has always been my celebrity crush though so I'm pretty biased.

When artists become successful they often seem to lose the spark that got them there. Not sure what to do with that, tho.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (3 children)

There's a studied effect on pro athletes where getting paid to play makes them lose their love of the game, and I think it's something like that. Anecdotally I used to love acting but I didn't even last a year in the theatre industry before I burned out and haven't acted in a single thing since.

I like his work, to each their own I suppose

Don’t boo him he’s right.

Same with Nolan honestly, overrated as fuck. Go back and watch the Nolan Batman and you’ll see some of the absolute worst action scenes and fight choreography in cinema. He also seems to take pride in being a pretentious fuck who interjects all his movies with fart art bullshit, instead of just focusing on making the movie watchable

[–] [email protected] -4 points 3 days ago

Glad I'm not the only one with this opinion. Nolan films suck. Batman Begins was okay, though. But the second one was boring and I couldn't even finish the 3rd. Within seconds of hearing that ridiculous voice Bane was doing, I had to turn it off cause I couldn't stop laughing at how bad it sounded.

Interstellar was alright as well. But the second act felt rushed. Not a terrible film, just overrated as you said.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The fact that Nolan isn’t getting the hint that people fucking HATE his sound mixing choices is insane to me.

The fact that Nolan puts in the effort to try to elevate his films above being popcorn slop is often what makes them stand out even if they sometimes fall short in other ways. If every director just painted by numbers then every movie would be a Marvel movie.

I don't watch a lot of film, is it that these guys use the Nicholas Cage "let the editor do all the acting" technique?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

He's actually just wrong. Nolan has a lot of action scenes in a lot of his movies, and while some of them do suck most of them are actually pretty great.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Agree but Interstellar and Oppy are still goated though.

There's probably no movie that changed my life as much as Interstellar. It's literally one reason why I'm starting my master's thesis in physics now. So Nolan movies will always be something special for me.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Interstellar is really great. I just watched it on IMAX and I wish I had earlier.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Are you writing it on how love transcends physics.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Yeah, I admit that part is pretty bad (even though you can discard it as her interpretation without it being the message of the movie, but I can see the issue with that). My point still stands. Literally why I got into cosmology.

I really thought I was about to read something very transphobic, but nope, someone just has strong opinions on acting.

He played a really convincing teen girl that one time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I liked him in Beyond two Souls

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hard Candy is such an underrated film

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Is it actually underrated ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I still see it mentioned every few months. It also gets highish marks on rottentomatoes.com (67/77). I'd deem it accurately rated.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's not underrated though. That word is used incorrectly too often.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

You're agreeing with me. Its not under or over, it's rated as it should be.

[–] [email protected] 86 points 4 days ago

He hates me for meee

[–] [email protected] 93 points 4 days ago

I hate you (respectfully)

[–] [email protected] 337 points 4 days ago (2 children)

"I see you for who you are, you are valid, and you still suck" is a "delightful" take.

My ex and I split up many years before I came out. This was pretty much my exs position on me when I came out.

My sister taught me a lot about trans people when she transitioned and was just as awful as she was before. I held out the hope that it would somehow "fix" her from being a loud jerk, but that's not how transitioning works.

That being said every other trans person I've ever met has been perfectly lovely so I know it's not bigotry.

[–] [email protected] 123 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Trans people, like all other people, can be assholes. Assholery transcends everything. But so does goodness.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 days ago

One of the best parts of equality is the ability to see people, past their differences, and realise some are just absolute fuckwits regardless.

[–] [email protected] 113 points 4 days ago

The true hater. He hates your soul.
