Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

We should hold ourselves to our own standards.

Well my standards don't allow me to let hypocrites eat their cake and have it too. She wants to be in a party of racists then I'm going to mention her attempt to hide her race.

Then shouldn't you call Caitlyn Jenner 'Bruce?' She's in the party of anti-trans bigots after all.

It's ok, I can still mention her being an absolutely remorseless cunt.

And let rest of the GOP ostracize her cause no amount of cumgurgling is going to make her 'one of them'.

Sure, there are lots and lots of other things you can say about that horrible person.

It's not her name, it's that she panders to a base who would hate her if she used it. She's a hypocrite.

You could say "it's not her name" about Caitlyn Jenner too.

Why shouldn't people have the right to be called what they want to be called?
