franchise /frăn′chīz″/ noun, plural franchises

(removed other meanings)

• a series of related works (such as novels or films) each of which includes the same characters or different characters that are understood to exist and interact in the same fictional universe with characters from the other works

I’m not seeing how ‘a franchise ending’ is oxymoronic.

Well they replied to a different account so either they’re both you or you grossly misread what they were replying to.

“okay but women not wanting to date men is just overreacting” - a sentiment we see even here on fucking Lemmy.

We’ve dodged a lot of the usual garbage from Reddit over here, but that one definitely stuck around. The only negative comments I’ve received on any of my lemmy accounts are guys furious when you point out men are more violent partners. Like they just cannot admit that as a society the ‘boys will be boys’ mentality was used to allow a lot of awful behaviours like rape. Hell, Revenge of The Nerds has a rape scene in it and people only recently started to speak out against it.

So, sorry for the downvotes, but at least we all know it’s a bunch of insecure men. Maybe they’ll learn, maybe they won’t, but you have allies here in the mean time.

True, but the saying isn’t ‘don’t fuck crazy’, and was originally used entirely as ‘(men) don’t stick your dick in crazy (women.)’

Really? Can you share them? I saw the post on lemmy complaining about wanting male/female options, but there’s also this article with gems such as below.

Even in the comments of that article though, is “DEI detected = Purchase rejected”.

So the comments are out there, probably on reddit too, but they are there.

Saying person x should be shot, no jury would convict you is not ok.

Vladimir Putin should be shot, no jury will convict you.
