Your Red Dwarf Memes for Safe and Courteous Disposal Out the Nearest Airlock

[Moonlight]

Now that embedding images isn’t a herculean task requiring a master’s degree in computer science, I figured we ought to finally have one of these on a site where such esoteric bullshit would be welcome.

I’ll start, because that’s how this sort of thread always works. Keep up.

(My lookalike font is a bolded, mildly blurred Courier New, in case anyone wants to run with this template. The minor blur helps the added text look less conspicuously sharper than the original image.)

Never mind the pig, the disabled community are far more concerned about the thousands of deaths since 2010 directly due to austerity.

Well I attempted to quote the actual gif to which the above was in reply, but the comment box is playing up (and it doesn’t show me the cursor).  Probably something going on my end to be fair; too many tabs open or Chrome needing updating.

Fucking stellar. I needed a laugh because I am pissed the hell off at WB right now.

Warner Bros. is consistently a toilet, I find.

How transphobes think predators work.

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

Not that I’m excusing it because it’s still a shit argument, but isn’t their claim that by allowing trans people to use the bathroom that fits their gender, it’s means that a pervy bloke could throw on a wig and hang out in the ladies room to check them out under the pretence he is trans?

Like any sexual predator isn’t going to be worried about what the law says about what rooms you’re allowed into so it’s completely nonsense argument either way. 

[Formica]

What, like sit in the corner and watch them wash their hands? Surely clothed women are just as oglable in public.

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

Well I don’t know what fascists think perverts do in public bathrooms.

Sometimes that is the claim, but for those actively dogmatic about it, it’s more common for them to believe that trans women in general only transition to contrive opportunities to perv on cis women. Essentially they think that trans women do not truly exist, or at least that the minority who are genuine should prove their virtue by using the men’s toilets without complaining. They pretty much have to believe that to hold the views they do, because otherwise that would make the ridiculousness of their position – “women are inherently in danger if they can end up in the same toilet as a strange man, that’s why thousands of women should be forced to use the men’s toilets” – way too blatant.

Just to cross-fertilise threads a little, Gunnersbury museum has gender-neutral toilets, just like a million establishments have had for years.

Of course, trans women usually had the same toxic masculine upbring that the rest of the humans born with a penis muchly have. Aside from the intersex: trans, enby, two-spirit and agender are cis physical bodies but a non-cis mental identity.

I’m not sure what the relevance is of this? Unless you’re trying to say that trans women are more likely to misbehave in public toilets due to “”male upbringing””, when there is no evidence to suggest is the case.

And your latter point is just not true at all. The whole definition of the cis/trans division is about whether your actual gender matches your born sex characteristics or not. Saying that trans people have “cis physical bodies” is just straight up nonsense, and would render the adjective completely meaningless. Also, quite famously trans women’s bodies often end up pretty different to cis men’s!

A trans woman’s physical sex/external genitalia in infancy unless they are intersex was an infant male’s. Binary gender identity or nonbinary or two spirit or agender is created by the brain and the mind and not by the physical genitalia. 

[Jonathan Capps]

I think I have lost track of the point that’s trying to be made here.

None of that rebuts what I said or supports what you said about “cis physical bodies”. Probably not worth adding more to this already thread-inappropriate discussion if you don’t actually have anything to add.

At the risk of sounding impudent, maybe this thread isn’t the best place to have this discussion?

Reminds me of this You Tube snark by a grammar pedant:

[on-screen] Tweet of People’s Front of Judea “Monty Python’s Life of Brian” type: “OMG, Trump is literately Hitler!”

MST3K voiceover: “No, he’s *figuratively* Hitler! The *only* person who is *literately* Hitler is *Hitler*!”

I believe it’s in relation to certain sections of Doctor Who fandom maturely handling Russell T Davies adjusting the Davros character for his portrayal on Children in Need rather than Captain Emerald Mine’s ownership of X formerly Twitter.

IIRC Seb was responsible for:

Napoleon actually freed the Jews from the Rome Ghetto. Needless to say, when the Papal States were restored after his defeat, they were forced back. The Bishops of Rome (“Popes”) have always been gimboids.

Happy November 25th, everyone.

👍

[Dave]

Fantastic. 

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

Flap Jack I’ll have you know that without this I would have known there was any connection to any 80s comic (I’ve never really been that deep into classic era who and have not really paid any attention to what’s coming with these specials). So thank you. 

[Flap Jack]

You’re welcome, Quinn. Hopefully this will save you from making a Rimmeresque faux pas.

RTD is flexing his lore knowledge with this special, but Beep the Meep is nothing. If he’s serious, he’ll give us the live action Frobisher we deserve.

[International Debris]

There’s a Big Finish adaptation of the Fourth Doctor Star Beast and it’s tremendous, ridiculous fun. 

A live action Frobisher would be incredible but I’m not holding my breath.

[Dave]

I thought it was really nice tonight to see Pat Mills and Dave Gibbons credited upfront.

[Flap Jack]

Definitely, and they both appear in Unleashed too!

[Dave]

Oh, I haven’t watched that yet. Great!
