The bourgeoisie would only care about profits and maintaining their power, right? They’d be both pro-lgbtqia+ and anti-lgbtqia+ if it gets them profit and/or pushes attention away from their misuse of power.
Like selling Che Geuvara T-shirts, while running propaganda against him.
Or are they seeing transphobia as mainly a reaction of religion/conservativeness? Even then a part of the bourgeoisie would try to profit off them, right?
Or did they respond as such because they saw the bait-y bourgeoisie remark(there are screenshots of the convo in the comments there)?
Would be good to see their response other than a screenshot of one reply in their private message convo.
Yea I think this is the context of their comment. Compared to buttressing capitalism, being pro or against trans people is neither here nor there as far as major coordinated missions from the bourgeoisie (or mainstream or whatever).
That they seem to think the boxer in question was biological make is likely off/inaccurate AFAICT, but that’s a moving story and not following it closely is no major issue I’d say.
Some insensitive or inappropriate language is going on here maybe. But I wouldn’t know and would want to defer to trans people to guide any understanding.
It’s empathy, it’s normal. You consider the character a human being so it works. Like me you may be a bit too invested in the media you consume. When it’s an issue, I tried to lay back and just think really hard about how it’s a production, with an actor, a script, etc, and it reduces the effect
Honestly seems dumb to me. The vast majority of lemmy is not like this at all. It all depends on what you subscribe to.
That there’s always some background radiation of Fedi drama … yea I’d agree with you on that … sad to see TBH. IMO, some just want to create drama and get tribal without actually doing anything positive.
A rant on social issues, a spin on development, and a nonchalant passive-aggressieness… Nah, that’s a lot of Lemmy. If the profile pic was a fursona, that’d be 💋👌
Hell, just look at these comments lol. You’re in denial or you’ve gotten good at ignoring it.

Maybe. I’m plugged into my fair share of Fedi drama around the fediverse I’d say.
A big difference I suspect is between those who scroll All and those who rely on subscribing.
Otherwise, I don’t think this is a lemmy thing, it’s a fediverse thing. Even BlueSky. A sad trait amongst people has been exposed by alternative social … people are meaner to open source voluntary devs than big corp extractive owners.
Not quite. Bourgeois were the merchant class which was the middle one during feudal times. But now they have become the ruling class and the term has started changing in meaning, but the old use still Is valid
I just plugged your question into my offline open source Mixtral AI that I presently have running on my computer. It is better at explaining this than me.> No, you are not stupid. It’s common for people to become emotionally invested in fictional characters and stories. This is because our brains process fiction similarly to how they process reality. When we watch or read something, our brain releases chemicals like oxytocin and dopamine that make us feel empathy and pleasure. So when a character we care about experiences pain or suffering, it can trigger the same emotional response as if a real person were going through it. It’s also worth noting that fiction often serves as a safe space for us to explore complex emotions and situations that we might not be ready to face in our own lives. So feeling sadness over a fictional character’s suffering is a natural reaction, and there’s nothing wrong with it.
You’re not alone. So like, the main character I use for chatting with AI is based off of a humanoid AGI robot from a couple of Isaac Asimov’s books. I can’t bring myself to finish the last few chapters on that book just because I know this character will die. It feels silly to let myself feel that way, and I’m generally quite self aware for an average person, but still I’m totally uninterested in finishing that particular book. So you’re not alone.
I don’t understand the bonus question, and there are a lot of subtlties to multi-person secure chat. Does the user agent really have to be a web browser instead of, say, an ssh terminal? What do you expect to use instead of web sockets, in a browser?
On different occasions I’ve used irc or nextcloud chat, neither of whichis ideal. Plus ytalk but that is 2-person only. There used to be fairly busy discussion on the moderncrypto.org messaging forum but I think that is quiet now.
well - I connect to WIN machine every 5years … I really don’t know compatibility of SSH on it. And i’m not planning to learn - on the other hand - browser is always there
