Was this the 60s?
In any case, the cultural revolution that gave us many modern tolerances and freedoms started then. Currently the conservatives are pushing back hard against most of that. The culture wars today are a backlash against the spirit of the sixties.
Yeah. Only looking back from today can it stand any criticism at all. But that’s easy for us to do now
why is it marked NSFW?
Yeah. It was something that deserves some critique, but I think ultimately at that point in history, sadly, Rogers was right. It wouldn’t have gone well, in the shortterm at least
Precisely the opposite take to mine. He was gay and accepted by Fred Rogers when that was rare. And Fred later expressed remorse at telling him it would be best not to come out. The word “shamed” in your comment is not remotely fair either
The image misses part of the story. He was a character on the show, officer Clemmons, and wasn’t just on this episode. And what’s more, he was gay and Fred Rogers knew and accepted him for it at a time that that was uncommon. This image makes it seem like a single random act of impersonal kindness but it was much more than that.
Do we really not see that being on that show might have something to do with that?
At this point I cannot believe anyone would trust that.
Yeah you gotta do it straight away or very soon after. I try to wash dishes as we go but anything left, if we’re watching TV over dinner or whatever, I pause that after we eat and go wash the remaining dishes. Otherwise they aren’t going to get done
Any day now I’ll catch up on getting that sucker finally clean.
I sense Australia
Thanks. Is that a term specific to 4chan?
Wtf is a janny
I love it
Ok, correction then, it was built in a way that allowed horribleness. Moderation is important.
That’s not what I know 4chan for. I know them for moral corruption and illegal content.
4chan was built as a place where horrible people feel safe to be horrible and some shit about IP logging ought to be the last fucking thing mentioned about it. Fuck 4chan.
Yep. And it totally holds up I think. Been rewatching it recently and love it so much.
