Police were unable to find any evidence of LGBTQ+ propaganda at the event, which is considered an illegal activity in Russia.

Is this the equivalent of being swatted?

And apparently Russia changed My Little Pony's content rating to 18+ in December, which seems insane. The "reason" is because there was one episode in a later season featuring a "lesbian couple" which was only confirmed by the show creators and never actually mentioned in the show itself. It's like banning Harry Potter because J.K. Rowling said on Xitter that Dumbledore is gay.

be me, Putin

world’s most straight man who has definitely not done something as gay as riding a horse without a shirt

put in anti-LGTBQ+ laws because I want Russia to be the most straight third-world country in the world

life is good

hear phone calling, it’s trump

starts getting mad and raging about two lesbian horses in the show

hang up immediately and ask how many Russians watch this gay horse anime

apparently tons of Russians pirate it from the US, as well as importing tons of toys and jars from other countries

need to stop this somehow

amazingdictator.exe

send police to raid a My Little Pony convention since it’s filthy LGTBQ+ propaganda

Russia is still straight for another day

leave my office to fuck the femboy twink I hired nonstop for the next 24 hours (definitely not gay)

it's not gay, if he says "no homo" 🤣

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

With classic rules, it's not gay to fuck dudes. It's only gay if you get fucked by dudes.

"Son, if you're gay, that's just fine. Just tell me you're not a bottom."

"Assuming I told you, I'm a bottom. Would you spank me harder, daddy?"

Dumbledore was super gay IRL, iirc

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

The gay bar in Hogsmead was his main haunt

Xitter? Please tell me the X is pronounced like "sh"

I hate JKR as much as the next guy but dumbledore does come of as gay even in the books and that makes sense in the context.(I don't mean the whole series just in the last ones last part but that too is older than the tweet i presume )

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Dobby is gay too.

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 3 points 8 months ago

Did JKR say so ?

[–] butterflyattack@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Indeed, I've seen the porn.

Technically, it is confirmed, but it's all in the background: once, one proposes to the other (and the other reciprocates), and another time we see a newspaper article about their marriage.

This aside, f*ck this dumb law.
