yeah, but that's not how people work.

I wouldn't say that's how jokes work. Some things need to be established first. The joke is not, that he is non binary. It's a play with words, "agenda" in this case. Him being genderless is supposed to be the baseline. This is contradicted by him being a Warner brother. So the joke is already falling apart during the setup. If the joke was about him being a chicken, it wouldn't have made sense either, because it was never established before. And can't explained with cartoon logic.

It feels like people are automatically mad at me for criticizing the joke, because the topic is gender politics. I never said he can't be non binary, I don't care, but there was never a basis for this. Or so I thought. As others have pointed out, there apparently was an episode or a comic where this was mentioned.

Sure, let's pretend the gender stuff ISNT a current political issue, and ignore all the political jokes the show makes, and then imply some bullshit like I have an issue with NB because I said "politically charged" because why not? Fuck off. My partner is part of the community.

It's okay. Not nearly as good as the old show, but that's not a surprise.

Don’t read it like that.

Still, we should celebrate the characters who are designed to be nonbinary, to represent that community, not try to decide for that character 30 years later.

But we must consider the fact that when the show was airing,

Hulu rebooted it in 2020. The latest season was released in February, 2023.

They all mean very different things, using non binary and agender interchangeably is one thing but using non binary and genderfluid interchangeably is completely different

Gender-fluid is more like a superposition on the binary. You can collapse the wave function and take a measurement but a split-second later it could be different.

Not necessarily

At some point in history, voting was about picking the best, most qualified candidate.

In recent years, voting has become picking the person that makes the other color lose.

I got some bad news for you buddy

This issue is not recent by any stretch of the imagination.

Also the founding fathers sucked and were constantly drunk slave holders.

I imagine most would be pleased. They only ever wanted the voice of wealthy men to matter in the first place, and now it's the supreme law of the land.

That is numerically impossible.

My side has no power whatsoever.

The concentration camp was never the normal condition for the average gentile German. Unless one were Jewish, or poor and unemployed, or of active leftist persuasion or otherwise openly anti-Nazi, Germany from 1933 until well into the war was not a nightmarish place. All the “good Germans” had to do was obey the law, pay their taxes, give their sons to the army, avoid any sign of political heterodoxy, and look the other way when unions were busted and troublesome people disappeared.

Since many “middle Americans” already obey the law, pay their taxes, give their sons to the army, are themselves distrustful of political heterodoxy, and applaud when unions are broken and troublesome people are disposed of, they probably could live without too much personal torment in a fascist state — some of them certainly seem eager to do so.

- Michael Parenti. (1996). Fascism in a Pinstriped Suit

Many people have been living under fascism in the United States for decades, suffering under explicitly racist police and judiciary systems, fighting against explicitly fascist foreign policy, and trying to wake people up to the explicitly fascist rhetoric of both democrats and republicans.

First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,<— you are here
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.

"everything I don't like is fascism"

Almost every presidential election I write in a name because neither two major candidates deserve my vote. Glad I get to help "usher in fascism".

Luckily my city has excellent early voting, so it's not too inconvenient.

LOL

It's not a bad thing to be a Green Party supporter. Do you not support democracy?

Oh wait, we're talking about Democrats here. They only pay lip service to Democracy for their party alone.
