Bethany

*sighs heavily* it would be nice to have a day when every event on earth isn’t turned into this, but alas. seeing this start as a trickle of whining last night and become a deluge of rage today speaks to the place we’re in societally.

this isn’t about the wedding or the bride and groom or opinions about anything else. they simply had a handful of Jewish guests and a Jewish officiant, and that is drawing intense levels of hatred and scrutiny under the tattered veil of “antizionism.” it’s convenient that the guests being eviscerated for this are just Jews.

the underlying desire here is to stop Jews from existing in public. idc if that sounds dramatic, we’re seeing it constantly. pop culture is a wealthy microcosm, but this is no different than accosting Jews on the street because they’re wearing a kippah or banning the Star of David from Pride, no different from painting swastikas on Holocaust memorials. they do not believe that Jews should be able to comfortably exist, experience life, and be welcomed anywhere without being interrogated and forced to endure either litmus tests or slurs and dehumanization.

we saw this same commentary recently aimed at Jews who attended Knicks games. using hating on Jewish celebrities (for nothing more than being in public) to normalize it is part of the tactic to make that discrimination more palatable.

this ire at Adam Sandler and several of the other Jewish guests is the same ire that saw Scott Wiener harassed and thrown out of a Pride March despite his political record, the same ire that sees Jewish businesses vandalized, the same ire that firebombs synagogues, and ultimately the same ire that leads to Jews being hunted down on a beach or at a museum or at a music festival.

"Are you pro Jews or pro Palestinians, you can't support both", "Are you pro trans women or pro trans men, you can't support both"-

I am pro PEACE. I am pro DIGNITY. I am pro We Should All Be Able To Live A Peaceful And Happy Life, Together.

I AM PRO PEOPLE.

Thank you, dear lady, for the joy and laughter you brought to the world.

Note that if you've been holding back on buying, this is the lowest the price has been AND there's Steam's new purchasing power pricing in place, which may have dropped the price even more in your region!

Hating women? Those manosphere guys are never going to be happy as long as they hate women.

Hating men? Same. Hating the patriarchy does not mean hating men, and hating men will never make you happy.

TERFs? They're fucking miserable. Hating trans people will never make you happy.

Hating kids? Boomers? Billionaires (yeah, this one hurts)? Politicians? People writing fanfiction "wrong"? It's never gonna make you happy.

This is not living — it is survival. What is happening there is a powerful reminder that having rights today does not guarantee that you will still have them tomorrow. Yet many people are unaware of what is happening, or simply choose not to talk about it.

These are women and girls suffering under a system that strips away their freedom, their education, and their voices. We must use our own voices to raise awareness and support them in any way we can.
