They know exactly what they're doing, it's a "purification," not entirely dissimilar to the same that happened in the 1930s in Germany.
I think most people realise. It's still really fucking dumb
Oh, no, they're dumb as a bag of bricks. Dumbest Nazis of all time. AI just makes them dumber.
not at all. trying to eliminate gay people from history, and also a nice convenient moment to sweep some war crimes under the rug
People like this don’t think it was wrong
they're not who they're manufacturing consent from. it's the ~55% of people who apparently listen to nothing but spotify and watch nothing but entertainment
Also apparently any photo of any Black or woman service member.
Because they didn't consider the possibility that women and Black service members did noteworthy things based on their actual merit.
"Images of historically significant military achievements or personnel, such as the Tuskegee Airmen and the first female Marine Corps infantry graduates, have been flagged for removal."
Wow. That's pretty blatant.
The Tuskegee airmen thing pisses me off so much. Like brick-throwing shit-burning degree of angry.
Normal country
Normal things are done in it.
(As usual)
I’m fine. We’re fine. We’re all fine here. How are you?
"It was a lousy conversation anyway. Chewie, we're gonna have company!"
I was really hoping this was a case of intentional malicious compliance to draw attention to the stupidity of this new policy. No such luck.
find /mnt/gubarmentfiles/ -name "*gay*" -exec rm {} ;
-- some dogenerate, propably.
This is just the right kind of absurd for our current government circus. I believe the headline completely without even reading the article.
Why can’t they just rename it Enola Straight?
Though Enola sounds pretty ethnic.
I wonder if this is an example of malicious compliance.
Have a yabba dabba do time, a dabba do time...
What are you doing this weekend, Trump? Something gay, no doubt?
Sucking on more toes.
This is hilarious.
They won't, they will be reviewed by a human being at some point and reinstated, they've been flagged by an automated program.
It's the Scunthorpe problem all over again.
That automated program flagged at least tens of thousands of historical photos, most of which aren't as silly as 'haha plane gay' but of actual people (some of whom are still very much alive) in a blatant attempt to literally whitewash American history. Like, they've flagged the photos of literal Medal of Honor recipients because their skin tone is darker than eggshell, this is objectively horrifying. The loss of even one of those files is completely disrespectful on a number of levels
Yeah, I'm sure everything is going to turn out A- ok with this whole thing. 👍👍
Oh, it most definitely won't. Just not for the reason everyone is saying.
