what is with this pose why are white people like this
From the comments:
Ahhh unity
Fucking eh!
If you spend 10 minutes looking into Dolly Parton, you’ll find a Fucking Angel.
Legitimately. Look into her reading program. Not just the news articles, but the written deals. She makes sure that if her program is a success, that the county is contracted to keep it going FOR-FUCKING-EVER. Her legacy is generations of kids who graduate high school because she sent them books.
And that’s just ONE thing she did, with a legacy that will outlast every one of us.
We ride at dawn.
That's exactly why they hate her. She gives kids free books, no strings attached.
I can think of other reasons
There's a better life
And you think about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Putting money in his wallet
-9 to 5
She's not only an angel, she's a straight up bad removed in every possible sense.
I guess lemmy.ml filters the word ass ! lol
Imagine the censorship laws under tankies.
Say poop, I dare you. Straight to jail.
Did you censor the word "bitch" or is this some sort of fucking idiot censorship on lemmy.world? Fucking swear I'll leave this instance at a drop of a hat if it is dumbass censorship.
Words don't need to be blanket censored on the internet. Go ham with moderation but censoring words is how we end up with weird phrases like "unalive" instead of what they actually are murder, suicide, and death. Which makes it fucking hard to talk about fucking real god damn mother fucking problems people are dealing with you corporate bitch ass shills.
I don't censor. It was the instance.
Jfc lemmy.world is trying to speed run to zero users
.world runs no filters. The user's home instance of .ml did the filtering.
That's a bit fucking dumb to reciprocate censorship, but also it would be hard to stop that functionalityas well. But yeah I logged out and checked and my comment is 100% intact. Should defederate from .ml and put them on an island. Editing my comment to make it clear what idiot instance is the issue.
It wasn't world, Lemmy.ml is his home instance which does the censoring
I just tested commenting ass somewhere else and it was not censored.
EDIT: No censorship here either, this time.🤷
I'm actually mostly surprised by the nerdcore hip-hop call out. I just assumed the genre melded with mainstream.
Old ska kid. Will bring extra mozz sticks for everyone.
Looked up the article. They're mad that Dolly Parton, who is a very outspoken Christian, is specifically the kind who embraces the "God loves everyone and that means we should love everyone, too" ethos of Christianity. In other words, the author of the article is pissed that Dolly doesn't gaybash. What a fucking piece of shit you have to be to sit down and be like "you know what's wrong with this person? They aren't cruel enough."
Us queers love dolly parton. Whoever wrote that had no fucking clue what they'd unleash.
I think Dolly is who drag queens aim for, but they can't get their hair floofy enough.
You haven't met enough drag queens. There is no limit to how much floof the can get out of a cheap wig.
I heard her tell a story about how she entered a Dolly Parton drag competition on a whim. She was delighted that she lost!
Somebody actually woke up one morning & thought, “Man, I know everyone’s convinced Dolly’s such a great person… how can I quickly cement that idea even further publicly & make myself look like an even bigger douche at the exact same time?!”
I'm sorry for all the dolly fans out there, but I have a confession... I don't care for her music.
But I will defend this woman simply because her charity work alone makes her deserving of much more.
And I know I don't even know half of what she does.
So if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go sharpen up my torches and light my pitchforks, because ain't nobody dissing dolly Parton around me.
You may just be listening to it too fast.

Most people don't like Dolly for her music. It would be hard to get so many people to agree on one artist based on their music.
But anybody saying she's a bad person is just flat wrong or just trying to stir shit.
Yep. It has nothing to do with her music and everything to do with her being an amazing person who wants to help children with her millions.
She is an incredibly prolific songwriter for other people as well. There's a decent chance you like a song she wrote that is performed by someone else - if that makes you feel any better about your sacrilege (smiley face emoji)
Metal head here who idolizes Dolly. She's a national treasure the likes of Mister Rogers. Who has also been attacked by the right.
For those interested she's in a couple of VERY trans positive episodes of The Orville (one just her song 9-5 and the other in a long scene as herself).
Anyone bashing Dolly hates freedom is no good. A full on poophead.
She's also in the movie 9 to 5, which was what the song was written for, which is about three women who have had enough of their misogynist boss and get revenge on him. On top of that, she starred in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, which is one of the few films which doesn't denigrate sex workers and actually shows them as normal people.
I saw 9 to 5 when it came out as I am old. I still love it.
All 3 female leads were awesome, and she absolutely held her own against the legendary Tomlin and Fonda. Also recently passed Dabney Coleman.
I was only 3 when it came out, but it was definitely a regular staple of the cable movie channels when I got older. My dad was a film historian, so we had all the movie channels so he could tape movies to show them in class. 9 to 5 would show up on occasion.
As you suggested, what an amazing cast!
Edit: Just read this on the IMDB-
This was Dolly Parton's theatrical film debut. In preparation for her role as Doralee Rhodes, she not only committed to memory her own part, but the parts of every other role in the film. Apparently, the two experienced starring actresses, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda, burst out laughing when Parton let on that she believed that pictures were filmed in the chronological order of a film's script.
That's adorable and also impressive.
Ragebait from some religious fruitcake. Base level defiler.
Nope. The Federalist is a major right-wing media outlet.
Religious fruitcake it is.
Ah, the Federalist. Too much of a pussy to have been a school shooter. Impotently flinging poo at the rest of us.
Capitalist bigot Christians complaining about false gospels is pretty rich.
Oh, this means WAR war
Shit newspaper with shit ideas.
"christianity is about hating people and Dolly doesn't hate people enough" -the federalist, basically
I would have few problems with Christianity if Dolly was the standard Christians tried to live up to. They sure as hell don't try to live up to Christ's standards.
I'm almost certain they've all decided Jesus was a loser and decided to root for Barabbas instead.
There are many Christians whose faith does not involve pushing the law on others, but instead focus on the gospel and its inclusive nature.
These aren’t the loud ones who push regressive policies. Because the ones pushing regressive policies aren’t doing so because their religion tells them to, they’re making their religion fit whatever they feel the world should look like, picking and choosing which rules to follow or ignore based on their worldview, shaping their religion to fit their bigotry. They would hate Jesus, who preached paying taxes, being generous to the needy, and accepting sinners and those despised by the establishment of the time.
If it was just a handful, you wouldn't have situations like the anti-LGBT law in Uganda or just Trump's election in 2016.
This was on Lemmy too but very shortly. It got downvoted to oblivion and either removed by the poster or a mod
If you're ever on the opposite side of Dolly on an ethical or moral issue, you're on the wrong side.
