I want to spread this rumour in conservative Facebook groups. They'd all fall for it.
Something something litter boxes
Got yelled at by my boss this morning for saying "we're in a province that just legislation in banning pronoun changes in schools without parental consent, does it seem likely there are litter boxes in schools". Fuck this province
Albertan spotted
Even worse actually.
"our school outlawed children using nicknames, and there hasnt been one knife crime!"
I wouldn't have been able to go by Goku when I was a kid with law like that. What is this shit.
Bleach7295 fun fact: I used to think it was said 'tangenitally.' But that's actually what you get on a nudist beach or something.
This has been a Bleach7293 fun fact.

I've met way too many people who think schools have litter boxes for furries, so nobody would question a dog playing basketball.
I'm going to start spreading this.
It was shared on here that that story stemmed from the fact that classrooms are keeping kitty litter handy so kids can shit in a bucket during school shooter lock down incidents.
Tiny bit of truth ÷ deflection x thing I hate = popular lie
As a bonus it also deflects what would otherwise be a damning story about the gun violence problem.
People insist it happens in the UK, too, and we don't have school shootings, so wouldn't have that source for the claim.
Same where I am in Canada. I've heard it from several different sources.
Misinformation isn't constrained by geography. At least, not enough to keep stupid from spreading.
The way you create a narrative is by saying something that's ninety percent true, omitting a bit of context, and sprinkling in one or two lies. That way, when it gets debunked, the firm believers will just say that it's close enough to the truth.
Hol up, that's a thing? Fuck, I almost wish it was just to appease the furries, the reality is so much more depressing.
I think that's why the hate story works so well.
I mean, it doesn't say a dog can't play basketball in the rulebook, so why would anyone question it?
They seriously haven't updated the rulebook? It's been a quarter century!
It would take until Faux News aired the story and people started to make fun of them for it.
Nah - if they were to even acknowledge it being fake they'd say "but it does happen in other schools"
"I said it makes no difference to me but a dog can't play basketball, but the woke lib ref says there ain't no rule says a dog can't play."
Let’s be real they wouldn’t notice at all lol
This guy called a conservative radio show and listed names of punk bands.
“One of my main problems is… I’m a Republican in a fairly liberal area, sometimes I feel like everyone is just Against Me!,” Dobi began, talking to host Liz Gabert. “I feel like what we need to do is listen to what our Descendents told us. ’Cause in the past we Refused to live a Life Of Agony. I’m Sick Of It All. Im sick of people thinking we’re just a Minor Threat. Enough of that Fugazi. A lot of these people just got Bad Brains, that are Misfits that waive Black Flag and they’re practically Anti-Flag. I think we need to Converge and help the Youth Of Today because every time you blink, 182 kids, they go missing…”
Only vid I could find was from the guy on shitter, sorry
Ok this is the pure essence of trolling
Omg they even got reel big fish in there
...they're gonna have to deal with the Fallout, Boy
That ending was way too good
I'm not into guys, but that dude is sorely tempting.
i cant believe they managed to get blink-182 in there bahahaha
Air Bud was Disney I think so they probably don’t let their family watch.
If only Disney and Fox Corporation had something in common
Different time. Air bud came out in 97. This was well before "woke" was a thing conservatives thought they were afraid of. 9/11 didn't happen yet. America was a very different place and America loved Disney. This would have been watched by a lot of gen x, both on the early end as parents, and on the late end as children. Millennials have seen it for sure, myself being one of them. I think the odds are pretty high that someone would catch on sooner rather than later.
Gen X was born before around 82, I think, so they were probably a bit old for Air Bud to be a childhood movie in 97. Definitely the older ones might have watched it with their kids, though.
That's more so what I was meaning, my father's gen x from the early side and watched it with us as kids, including my older brother who's on the tail end of gen x. I guess it really does come down to proximity to millenials
As a younger Gen X, my memory of Air Bud is a young cousin giving me a long-winded description of the movie at Thanksgiving, but I never actually watched it lol
I'm genx and have never seen it. Nothing to do with Disney but my wife and I quit our movie theater jobs right before that cane out and it took years for me to be able to pay to watch movies again after that. Years of free movies, private showings, etc had spoiled us.
