Americans, I have a question what does the confederate flag mean to you?

it's not weird that the past is steeped in shame, but tomorrow is fair game. That's why history should be a learning experience.

Ok, well that's why I specifically said what I did. We judge yesterday by todays standards and that is far more critical without much nuance. It is weird to hold yesterday to puritanical standards of today.

It's weirder to hang on to statues and flags of shame in any kind of reverential way. 👆

Yeah who gives a **** put them in a museum and be done with it.

Right! Lauren southern got called out for not understanding that a statue of Robert e lee in North Carolina is is different than a statue of ghandi in Ghana. Both have racial history behind them, but putting them in the background of the people they oppressed? Ffs! Put that shit in a museum.

Honestly tho I'd rather be the worst the stereotype of the tranny than someone who gushes over weird mass human slaughter fantasies lol

oh also feel free to go as heavy with the anti-trans stuff as you like, as KMC's left also really despises trans people so you can totally get away with it without even receiving a vague reprimand (:

Is there a lot of anti-trans people on KMC? Legitimately asking because I didn't know that.

All of the anti-trans people left KMC for their right-wing Dischord. Scribble is just butthurt, because progressives called her out for defedning the casual homophobia and racism of her little ePals, so she tried to trick them into misgendering her, so she could accuse them of transphobia, and it backfired. She then proceeded to have a five-alarm meltdown, and requested a multi-month ban, because she could not control herself until she was back on her meds.

Only anti Trans I know is the anti Transformers crowd in Vs.

I am proudly an "anti-trans." As in anti-transhumanist, which means I am opposed to dadudemon's ideology.

But nah, I am not anti-transgender at all.... but if a man who identifies as a woman still looks and/or sounds like a man then I will not agree to calling him a 'woman,' or even a 'she.' Like Bruce Jenner, for instance. Sorry, but I am not calling him a "she".

And nope, I do not and never will support this BS of men being able to compete in women's sports. That is disgusting and totally unfair to actual biological women.

not sure whether to be offended. if they're bashing bayformers or beast wars, I'd probably agree. however G1 bashing will be met with justifiable hostility

Weird stance for someone who is attracted to dickgirls.

G1. Stiltman especially loves hitting up the empty room image meme, with a "All the Transformers fans gathered".

There aren't an overabundance, tbh. Most of KMC is surprisingly tolerant

I kinda liked beast wars.

Was too fixated on college to really get into it, but liked the Youtube uploads I've seen.

Beast Machines was a big letdown though. Hated what they did to Rhinox especially.

I guess mistakes were made.

The best part of the Confederate flag is that it pisses off Leftists.

If we presume for the sake of argument that the Confederate flag "pisses off leftists," it is because it is a racist symbol. So what you are acknowledging is that you are a racist, or okay LARPing as one to "own the libz," which makes you functionally no different, because you are what you pretend to be. Wow, you really thought you did something there.
