"Vaccine hesitant" is a terrible term that I will never use and even pro-jab people I've seen don't use it. Those people aren't shy about saying point blank that the unvaccinated are shitheads who deserve to die.

It's a "polite" term, though. I can imagine NPR adopting it. I think Konstantin Kisin uses it because he's trying (a little too hard) to get the vaccinated to understand the unvaccinated and that it's about more than just "Muh precious bodily fluids! MAGA!". So, he keeps his language milquetoast.

I like his thread, but it's just preaching to the choir, in the end. There's no unity on this issue. Because it's about more than the vaccine. It's about the cultural divide.

It's not polite. It's Brave New World kinda newspeak that doesn't even allow for the possibility of negativity towards the NWO.

Again, same shit as the socialist SPD fucker I mentioned talking about Brexit. It just can't be possible to have reasonable reservations against the vaccine so those that didn't take it must just be misunderstanding something, supposedly because they are dumb.

It's about as hostile as it gets.

Yep. It's propaganda talk. Making your opposition out to be merely undecided rather than actively opposed.

Sadly Corona-chan won't do the killing for them. I wonder why

Isn't the most likely target for that "what's the point?" question the fact that it might be PG-13?

That's the rational conclusion, my fellow nakama.
The "female lead" part didn't even register with the original tweeter, but his tweet was worded just ambiguously enough for SJWs looking for tweets to be offended about to gladly twist in their "favor".

Some of the folks in the comment section who also think this was a sexist tweet might not even be aware of their folly. It's all internalized. Maybe they think the tweet is sexist because they can't even process that "PG-13" might be a problem for other people, leaving "female lead" as the only option left.

I don't think it's even as complicated as all that; just that the female lead thing came before the PG-13 thing in the headline. As you say, all duder had to do was say "PG-13? Then what's the point?" instead of just the second bit.

that pesky adblock.

"unprecedented"

The word loses its impact when everything is described as "unprecedented".
