Woman's swimsuit modelled by a man.

What's the point? So we can see there's enough room for our meat and 2 veg?

Waitrose as well?

I don’t think that would work as a swimsuit for any of the myriad of genders Merl.

IcakethereforeIam · 26/05/2023 11:56

You could cut two leg holes in the bottom and put your head through the handles. But then it wouldn't work well as a swim suit or as a bag.

Hmm! Could work as a metaphor though.

There’s probably a Stunning and Brave gender that identifies as a shopping bag. Let’s respect that please.

Ooh look - MN lives rent free in Doc Phoenix’s rainbow head 👏💪 Yah boo sucks to you - we win.

But this means Waitrose are added to the list of shops to boycott right? There must be a quite a list now?

SirChenjins · 26/05/2023 13:03

Nah, just don’t buy the shopping bag. They will end up in the multicoloured section of the council tip, like 95% of the rest of the rainbow tat that’s produced at the moment and all the blue hair dye.

MerlinsLostMarbles · 26/05/2023 13:07

Are we still boycotting NZ? I'm wondering if I'm allowed to buy Manuka honey again.

ApocalipstickNow · 26/05/2023 16:26

You can buy the transmanuka honey (it’s actually treacle).

Are you aware Lego and the Angry Birds game have shown support for LGBT rights? Are they added to the boycott list?

Why would they be added? Is there some specific misogynist content in these two companies' advertising of their support for LGBTQ2IA2+ rights - and if so, can you please share what that is? Or are you somehow assuming that such support would inherently have to be misogynist - and if so, why?

I really don't understand this as a marketing tactic. What woman would want to buy a swimsuit that fits a man. Wtaf. These people must think women are completely thick. I'm not anti-trans but seeing these ads are really pissing me off!

Maybe if it was more accepted for men and women to wear what they fancy there would be fewer people getting bits lopped off themselves in a bid to change sex. I have no problem with this swimsuit nor anything else a man/woman might wear.

Robinonmybirdfeeder · 18/05/2023 12:27

I’m confused. Is this made to fit a man’s body or a woman’s body? I wouldn’t buy it if I saw that picture ( apart from it being ugly) because I would assume it was made to fit a man and therefore would not fit my female body. One of the most fitted items of clothing you can buy is a swimsuit, it can’t fit men and women?

Yes and we can’t see the information on the “model’s size” from that picture! What might it say?

Not a nice swimsuit anyway.

Here https://twitter.com/AngryBirds/status/1662135050064871440

Angry Birds had a pride update, which contains LGBT pride flags.

There are comments from people saying they will now uninstall Angry Birds, and comments from others saying things like "groomers" or "pedos". All over a smartphone app that wanted to show LGBT support.

Perhaps the answer would be to call the queer agenda something different, and leave LGBT+ back to people who just wanted to be homosexual in peace. With no dodgy behaviours and actions associated.

MerlinsLostMarbles · 29/05/2023 13:44

You are against companies and creators of cartoon bird games showing support for LGBT people?

Do you condone people making false accusations of "grooming" towards anyone who shows support for gay or transpeople?

There is a move for this on twitter. Eg the LGB alliance. But I see people saying LGB now more and more. And then people saying TQ+.

Obviously most still say LGBT but I like them being separated. LGB are sexual orientations, trans is not. Unless they will admit to a word starting with a I see gets deleted a lot from threads.

I've explained this to you umpteen times Merlin. It's probably on this thread, it's on many others, you have been exposed to this reasoning and line of thought. I'll try it one more time, slowly.

LGBT used to mean people who had the one characteristic in common of being homosexual. They were politically diverse.

Through the capture of Stonewall et al, LGBT is now a descriptor of TQ+ political beliefs. It is now a group of people who have the one characteristic in common of TQ+ political beliefs. There is no political diversity tolerated. They are of all sexualities, straight included.

Homosexuals and trans people who have not conformed have been excluded, threatened and are not welcomed at LGBT events. This permits the lobby to claim that they represent the voice of all LGBT people because they have disposed of the ones saying inconvenient things like 'no' and 'I don't agree' and 'this is homophobic'. Hence the rage at the LGBA forming.

It suits the political goals of the TQ+ political lobby to frame themselves as representing all LGBT people for purposes of funding and more importantly of political control.

So. As a homosexual, yes obviously, I have a problem with companies claiming to (or innocently believing that they) support homosexual people, when they are doing it through the marketing and beliefs of a group who believe that I should be raped and battered for refusing to provide sex to straight men who identify as women. They are not supporting homosexual people. They are supporting the suppression and colonisation/exclusion of homosexual people.

Has that helped, or would a diagram be useful?

nilsmousehammer · 29/05/2023 14:12

And I'm not responding to the second question, because it's silly.

Exactly. All I can see when I look at it is a barely-contained dick and balls, vomit.
