Identifying as a season? That's almost as ridiculous as identifying as the position of the stars and planets at your birth! You know, that thing that apparently millions of people actually do do. Maybe Fox should go after astrology. That might be a cause worth pursuing.

Heheheh. I said "do do".

Fox News is in the business of making their viewers hate everyone else.

My dad was tricked with the "cat litter box" made-up moral panic. SMN has an episode on it (can't remember which one), but some people are too far gone to admit they've been deceived by made-up fox news.

Conservatives are so fucking boring. The ones I’m forced to interact with talk about politics at a massively inflated rate compared to anyone else. It’s always shit that makes them angry too, like the only joy you can get out of life is righteous indignation.

Privileged white fuckers are the last people who have any right to be righteously indignant over anything right now, and that’s the majority of conservatives in America.

They can't WAIT to inject thag shit into EVERYTHING. Bro, I'm talking about gardening. I don't care that you believe Biden is the worst president of all time.

Hey guys, we know one of ours is batshit crazy and blasting dogs and goats for no reason. So, what is our craziest ol faithful hate? Steve? Trans kids identify has fall.

Wow, look at that idiot! Sir, that's the head of the company! "Tonight! Are your kids identifying as seasons?"

Fox News. What a fucking turd. A bunch of people you wouldn't want to spend 5 minutes with telling you shit that makes no sense and lieing straight to your face to make you angry. No wonder trolls are so prevalent. Republicans worship them.

Their entire business model is drumming up culture war bullshit to keep people distracted from the fact they're losing the class war.

Want to upvote, but it's currently at 420...

Their base loves the weirdest entertainment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Fox News is betting that if people are too distracted by what "the woke" are doing, they won't realize that the ultra wealthy are robbing them blind.

"My source is that I made it the fuck up"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

It all started with the film 500 Days Of Summer

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I can see people doing so sorta in the vein of how some people just accept that they’re very aligned to one of the roles of mother/maiden/crone. But as a gender? Maybe as a nonbinary gender that you only ever hear about on tumblr and Fox News?

But yeah the media needs to touch grass

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I'm pretty sure that the fox in fox news actually comes from a mispronunciation of the word faux. Faux news.

Probably met two girls named Autumn and Summer and got triggered or something

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I knew a girl named Winter.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I drank a beer named Summer

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Just need someone named Spring and they'll have the full set!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

Do you really think they would do that? Just go on their entertainment show and tell lies?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago

They made it up.

Of course they made it up, it's Fox News, what do you expect?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)
