Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

He actually doesnt make the worst furry. Is that what this is lol?
I searched for "Femboy Putin".
Lmao
As far as I know, even China doesn't go this far against LGBT people, Russia is literally becoming worse than China.
Eastern Europe is generally very anti LGBTQ.
Also really racist. It's like the US in the 50s. Most people have only ever seen [pick your difference] people on tv.
Russia has been worse than China for a very long time now.
Always has been
astronaut meme intensifies
Literally the worst timing. Considering the gay erotica authors being imprisoned. But tankies gotta rev up that misinformation engine of course.
It’s fucked up that Russia is doing shit like this. That said,
he was wearing a short top covering his chest, black leather shorts above the knee, on which there were several chain-shaped ornaments, and fishnet tights
That is pretty gay. Doesn’t at all deserve persecution, but certainly fits the bill.
I don’t know man. It feels like pigeonholing somebody’s sexual preferences based on the style of their clothing might not be accurate.
Take a look at this photo of Mötley Crue from back in the day, and those guys were renowned for their heterosexuality.
I don't understand how this flaming dude's attire breaks a law about "promoting non traditional relations". This is just dressing up, not doing propaganda.
The Russian oligarchs clearly thought it promoted a desire within them for some kind of relations.
I mean, the way you dress isn't really connected to sexuality. It may be somewhat connected to gender presentation (not gender overall, but the way society interprets gender through presentation), but gender and sexual preference are not directly connected either. I dress fairly feminine at times, including exposed bras, fishnets, and dyed hair, but I'm not really interested in men.
Dr. Frankenfurter?
It's paywalled, so I can only assume that this:
Judges ruled that outfits like corsets, fishnet tights, and dyed hair violated the law.
Only applies to men, because I'm guessing the authorities wouldn't think she was too gay:
Well. She can be gay too.
But is she too gay?
No, needs at least 300% more gay.
She needs to dye her hair for the 130% bonus
I would be very surprised if that was her natural hair color.
Got any pics of her making out with another lady? We can decide if we see those.
Nah, not enough flannel.
🤞🏼
The literal fashion police. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
So when do they arrest the cops and people complaining who all openly admitted to feeling aroused?
dyed hair?
They should wear what used to be worn in the 19th century in the Russian imperial court and call it patriotism.
Sigh for when Tula only used to be known for samovars…
I definitely look "too straight". So I should get that money paid to my accounts.
