No lgbt ever did or will do 0.1% of the harm to russia that those gremlins in the kremlin are doing.

Propaganda by “big gay”?

Who stands to win when big gay runs the show?

Big Gay AI.

Eventually the AI bubble will burst though.

Super. Thanks for asking.

The world would be a better place if AI was just a horny flaming homosexual constantly making the cleverest passes at its users.

Everyone but the fascists?

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Fascist court in fascist nation supports fascist declaration, as reported by fascist propaganda.

[–] ecvanalog@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Yeah but it’s good to see where SCOTUS will be in a year or two.

I mean...

It is, and I unambiguously support this kind of propaganda. If we can just get more people exposed to cowkini unitards, I think we can save a lot of people.

A real image of real humans simply existing is not propaganda.

[–] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Propaganda it's not inherently wrong. E.g. Mr Rodgers is propaganda.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

The show is, sure. But a still photograph of Mr. Rodgers out of context is just an image of an old white guy, if you don't already know a lot about him, it's utterly meaningless. Like if I find a family photo someone took on vacation and then accidentally dropped on the street, that's not propaganda. Propaganda pushes an ideology, which, for an unfucked-with image with no text, requires a lot of subtext and context. The only image I could find in the Russian article I can't read, the one from the thumbnail, is just a picture of Freddie on stage performing, which lacks subtext and is entirely harmless in context.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I agree, it's certainly not photoshopped.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I think they've got elf ears too.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

And I don't judge them for that.

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 20 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t understand why these territories that are so scared of the LGBTQ+ don’t just wall themselves up and hide from the scary well-adjusted and happy people they fear so much.

Russia would be North Korea if but they have to make trade with like-minded countries and vassal states if only to prop up its economy heavily focused on crushing Ukraine.

Yeah, extremely deep-seated conservatism. For one, the patriarch Kirill is a hardcore creator of his interpretation of the Orthodox Church, where they all believe Moscow is the "Third Rome" and, like Iran, the supposed democracy and liberalism of United States and the West in general are the devil and must be destroyed.

Moscow court recognizes photo of Queen as “LGBT propaganda"

The Moscow City Court rejected the appeal of Moscow resident David Gevondyan, who was previously fined under the article on “LGBT propaganda” for posting on VKontakte a picture depicting men dressed as women. From the decision of the Moscow City Court, which was discovered by “Layout”, it became clear that we are talking about photographs of the participants...

Sounds a lot like the USA these days.

The home scenes from that video are some of the most iconic MTV moments ever.

I'll form a human conveyer belt for Freddy Mercury any day.
