It provides a safety net by pooling the resources of the community to support the less fortunate. This prevents people from having to sacrifice their long term goals because their short term needs may not be otherwise met.
Also in contrast to capitalism that treats society as a zero sum game (“I can’t get ahead unless I take something from someone else”) socialism is a benefit multiplier (“I’m part of the community. By making the life of everyone in the community better I’m also improving my own life”).
What put me off selinux is that the officially documented way of generating a new policy is to run a service unconfined, and then generating the policy from its behaviour. This is backwards on so many levels… In contrast policy-based admission control in kubernetes is a delight to use, and creating new policies is actually doable outside of a lab.
As an ally I would prefer if the second panel said “homophobes” instead of “straight people”, but I get the sentiment of the meme. It’s like a Bechdel for the audience.
I believe they’re referring to the character of Jaskier/Dandelion, who in the lore is a womanizing, promiscuous bard. Pretty much the DnD bard player character archetype. It is also pivotal to a number of plot points, because the character’s womanizing habits frequently land him in trouble, making him a “damsel in distress” supporting character. Which in itself works better when the character is straight because it subverts the trope.
The thing is also that there’s plenty of characters in the story who are or could be made gay without serious repercussions to the plot.
You are correct. A little bit hurt maybe to be grouped with the bigots, but as I said I understand the sentiment, and I also understand that in certain demographics it’s close enough to the truth.
But Jaskier isn’t gay in the show, either. He’s bisexual.
Oh yeah, that completely changes things, and does completely fit in with the character.
I do have to admit that I did not watch the latest season, not because of Jaskier but because of what they did to Eskel in the previous season. So I took the other commenter’s word that the character was made gay. I guess that’s what I get for assuming honesty until proven differently on the Internet.
