MODERATORS
They know exactly what they're doing, it's a "purification," not entirely dissimilar to the same that happened in the 1930s in Germany.
I think most people realise. It's still really fucking dumb
not at all. trying to eliminate gay people from history, and also a nice convenient moment to sweep some war crimes under the rug
People like this don’t think it was wrong
they're not who they're manufacturing consent from. it's the ~55% of people who apparently listen to nothing but spotify and watch nothing but entertainment
Also apparently any photo of any Black or woman service member.
Because they didn't consider the possibility that women and Black service members did noteworthy things based on their actual merit.
"Images of historically significant military achievements or personnel, such as the Tuskegee Airmen and the first female Marine Corps infantry graduates, have been flagged for removal."
Wow. That's pretty blatant.
The Tuskegee airmen thing pisses me off so much. Like brick-throwing shit-burning degree of angry.
Including a Hispanic Marine who received a Medal of Honor for jumping on a grenade to save his comrades. Medal given in 1946, the infamous period of DEI...
Normal country
Normal things are done in it.
I’m fine. We’re fine. We’re all fine here. How are you?
"It was a lousy conversation anyway. Chewie, we're gonna have company!"
If they do this then they should at least be consistent and remove every mention of the words Straight, Bi, Pan and Trans as well
Taking your Biplane for a transatlantic flight, straight to the Panama canal? That's a paddlin
Via the Gulf of Mexico.
Bicycles are banned. Cars are no longer allowed to have transmissions either.
Tran-sport in general is banned. So is all Bi-ology.
Transatlantic towards Panama?
We Europeans didn't ban those words.
Transcontinental would work though
I wonder how the fascies will say: "I need a new frying pan"

I was really hoping this was a case of intentional malicious compliance to draw attention to the stupidity of this new policy. No such luck.
find /mnt/gubarmentfiles/ -name "*gay*" -exec rm {} \;
-- some dogenerate, propably.
I don't believe that they're even that capable. Probably really on LLMs to write every script for them and don't know whether or not it actually works.
So the snowflakes have reached the banning words stage now, have they?
The Enola Gay is still mildly radioactive, so I can’t help but think “Hot gays in your area ready to bang”
This is just a book burning.
They're also removing pictures of a Medal of Honor recipient from World War 2. His crime? Being Hispanic. Because being Hispanic and being awarded the MoH posthumously is obviously DEI. From that infamous time of DEI awards, 1946.
Why can’t they just rename it Enola Straight?
Though Enola sounds pretty ethnic.

I just did whatever the opposite of eating the onion is. I assumed this was the onion.
"Shat the onion"? Naah that doesn't too right either.
🤮 lol
Enola Sad and Straight
The fuck ???
It's the name of pilot's mother: Enola Gay Tibbets !!! It has nothing to do with LGBTQRSTwhatever !!!
Yes that's why it's the article.
This is just the right kind of absurd for our current government circus. I believe the headline completely without even reading the article.
Have a yabba dabba do time, a dabba do time...
Jesus, they're going through and "purifying" all the different government archives. This is gonna do irreparable harm to our knowledge of history. Utterly vile
What are you doing this weekend, Trump? Something gay, no doubt?
Sucking on more toes.
