Stamets, 1 year ago to comicstrips in I... I wouldn't mind it [ElderCactus]

Same here. I’m hoping that with so many users posting different artists comics and then linking to them that they’ll notice where some traffic is coming from and move over.

I know the Loading Artist guy has started posting here on Lemmy.

Oh 100%. He’s a delightful man. Still so frustrated at the people who made him quit Twitter ages ago with the constant “Shut up Wesley” shit.

Stamets, 1 year ago to memes in Technically it's always the first in China until they get removed from the movie

1. Finding Dory: Has a lesbian couple on screen for 3 seconds. Was an ENORMOUS deal at the time. Disney marketed it.
2. Beauty and the Beast (2017 Live Action): Disney specifically marketed how Josh Gads character was their first gay character. They also marketed an “exclusive gay moment”. That moment was him dancing with another man in a group scene for like 2 seconds.
3. Thor Ragnarok: Wasn’t announced until Love and Thunder but Valkyrie is bisexual.
4. Avengers Endgame: Also touted as a “big moment” and the first gay character in the MCU. During the opening grief counseling session that Cap America runs, one dude is talking about how he went on a date with another man. Here’s there for a maximum of 20 seconds.
5. Toy Story 4: You can see a lesbian couple for like 1-3 seconds.
6. Rise of Skywalker: Also touted as a huge moment for Star Wars, Disney started talking about how it was the first lesbian couple. At the end of the movie there’s a 1 second shot of two women kissing. Disney marketed it as first on screen same sex kiss.
7. **Onward:**The cyclops cop is a lesbian. There’s a single line where she says her girlfriend’s daughter did something.
8. Jungle Cruise: Disney said that Jack MacGregor was their first “major gay character”. There is a single line in the film hinting towards his sexuality. Dwayne Johnsons character asks why he never got married and Jack says “my interests lie elsewhere”. That’s it. Apparently that counts for being gay.
9. Eternals: Disney touted that one as being the ‘First Gay Superhero’. He’s not a major character or anything but you do see a scene with him and his husband/son.
10. Cruella: Also marketed by Disney as being their ‘first major gay character’ despite them claiming that twice for Beauty and the Beast and for Jungle Cruise. In this movie, the gay character is the hyper flamboyant, fashion loving villain.
11. High School Musical The Series: A Disney+ show. They marketed that one for the ‘First Gay Disney Love Song’.
12. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: America Chavez is a lesbian and the movie was marketed for having the ‘First Gay Superhero’, apparently ignoring Eternals from previously.
13. Lightyear: ‘First Pixar Same-sex Kiss in a Pixar movie’ was claimed for this one. However it was only put back into the movie after news broke that Disney was donating to anti-gay politicians and that they constantly cut LGBTQ content behind the scenes they stuck this scene in. Then it came out that this scene too was originally cut. Shocker.
14. Ms. Marvel: Another Disney+ show. They have a same-sex teenage lesbian couple.
15. Strange World: The thing in the meme. First Gay Teenage character.

I was talking with a friend a couple days ago about him and the fact that he has left a pretty huge mark on Trek. I also love how they’ve referenced him twice in Trek as well.

Season 3 of Discovery has that whole Burn thing going on. Burnham goes looking for the ‘black boxes’ of the various ships. One of the ones she gets, an important one, is called the USS Yelchin. Then Season 3 of Picard had their own honor that they gave him. In the final episode there’s a broadcast from the ‘President of the Federation’. It’s voiced by Walter Koenig, playing the son of his Chekov, but the name that they gave him? Anton Chekov.

Indeed taken from us far too soon.

Because it wasn’t on his terms or with their free will and consent. My man fucks around but he fucks around respectfully.

Stamets, 1 year ago to comicstrips in I would never have guessed...

John gives off such intense himbo energy

I must have him

Stamets, 1 year ago to comicstrips in Water? What's that? [ADHDinos]

Vast majority of stuff in the ADHDinos comics aren’t exclusive to people with ADHD. Often times they’re common place in a lot of people. It’s just that with ADHD the frequency is turned up to eleven and so is the difficulty in dealing with it.

That being said, can’t hurt to check with a Doc.

Stamets, 1 year ago to risa in It's all in the trim

I will never understand why the beard went for that movie. People give it shit constantly but the worst part is the lack of beard, not the Shinzon stuff

Stamets, 1 year ago to memes in Doesn't help that I keep thinking 2010 was like 6 years ago.

I’ve got a really personal connection to 9/11 so the memories surrounding it are really vivid for me. Was talking to a buddy the other day about it and he started laughing and I asked why. He said “You were playing with a pocket knife and I was shitting in my diapers.” It was at that moment I remembered he was born in 2000. My joints immediately were filled with sand.

Stamets, 1 year ago to risa in I love how SNW responded to this sexism by surrounding Pike with women

For real. Sometimes I wonder if I was around in the 60s if I’d hear more people bitch about her being a woman or her being black. It’s so fucking stupid. But way for humanity to ‘keep the tradition going’ I guess considering they’ve now moved it from cisgendered folks to transgendered folks.

woo. /s

Stamets, 1 year ago to comicstrips in "Can we at least poll the audi-" "No." [ADHDinos]

The format and theme of being a comic that has dinosaurs in it? That is literally the only thing that they have in common. That’s it. Dinos and Comics covers a wide variety of stuff but typically sticks to friendship (with a dash of social awkwardness) and puns. ADHDinos specifically talks about ADHD and living with it. Also that ‘less readable font’ is called OpenDyslexic which was specifically designed to be readable to people with Dyslexia. While they should have put a border around the words to make it easier to see, the font is pretty legible and I’m gonna openly support them for using an accessibility font.

Okay but he’s also a twice impeached rapist who actively made fun of disabled folks, trampled on the rights of everyone, and actively talks about attacking American democracy

So… Cut his shit.

Stamets, 1 year ago (edited 1 year ago) to memes in What a nice video of a car peacefully driving amongst beautiful hills

Then let me help you and @Starglasses out a little.

It is an ‘auto’ commercial by K-Fee. Here’s the video to said commercial.

I will never cease to be amazed at the insane nonstop power of that line.
