I wanted my conclusion sentence to be an umbrella term that would apply to both the games/anime and instances such as in the post; that’s why I chose “gender dimorphism” instead of the more limiting “sexual dimorphism”. My terminology was not meant to refer to only one specific use case and exclude another and I’m confused as to why you’d interpret it as that.

Yes, the devs did intend it to act as sexual dimorphism, but there are fringe instances in the animal kingdom and in the Pokémon fandom (and possibly in canon) in which that term does not sufficiently describe an animal’s changed physical and social characteristics. The lioness manes that I had mentioned and the above post are some of those instances.

From what I can find, it seems like that may have been Ash’s Pikachu in disguise with a cross-dressing Ash to enter a women’s only organization. It’s possible that there was another instance but I’m not seeing it. This article and the Trivia section of this article may be informative about the history of changing gender expressions in the shows and games.

Simple as

I did consider using the term “sexual dimorphism” instead, but within the context of the post, “gender dimorphism” felt more correct. The biological sex and chromosomes of the pre-fab Pikachu model would stay the same, but its outward appearance and gender expression has changed to become feminine.

As a real life analogy, lion manes are an example of sexual dimorphism, but due to either hormonal abnormalities and/or a shortage of males, lionesses may grow manes and occupy the masculine role; a mane is sexually dimorphic for lions, but it becomes gender dimorphic for the lionesses who adopt the masculine role in their pride.

Also, as far as I’m aware, within Pokémon media and even within the programming code, they do use gendered terms but they never say the word “sex” specifically, so there is ambiguity within the fictional universe on top of the ambiguity of our own universe’s terminologies and schemata.

At first, I thought the original original post was just arbitrarily using the Pokémon franchise to platform for transgender people, but the OP has modified a pre-fab model of a male Pikachu to turn it into a female Pikachu by adding the two bumps at the end of the tail. The gender dimorphism between Pikachu is fairly obscure knowledge so I can see why somebody might miss the point of that post.

Ishbia’s purchase of the Suns was approved in Feb. 2023. Since he’s relatively new as majority owner of the team, I’ll give him some benefit of the doubt and assume in this situation he is working to make things better with his position and either only recently became aware of the price issue or was only just now able to change it, rather than simply making the change now for optics. You can be cynical about those who set the prices before him.

Look at A.I. Trump’s face — he almost looks like a human.

The lens sharpness and focal length seem a bit off between the foreground and the background but I don’t know enough about photography to say with authority if this is particularly telling. The poses and the gloss just seem too perfect and there is no apparent motion transpiring. Musk’s face also seems to lack depth as his left cheek looks like it’s just painted onto the same plane as his face.

After feeling like the image was off, I reverse image searched it with the text cropped out and found no results that did not have the text superimposed. Out of curiosity and without any idea of how reliable they are, I tried a site that claims to be able to detect if images are AI and it said it was ~98% sure it was generated through Stable Diffusion.

It does not assume that

They’re around each other often. One shouldn’t have to resort to AI to manifest an image of them beside each other. IMO, using AI in propaganda (even if factually accurate propaganda) makes the message come across as phony and those in agreement look disingenuous or dumb since the propagator couldn’t even bother to use reality in their imagery.

Generally, bakers are blue collar hardworkers who do not gluttonously hoard their resources and instead sell at prices necessary for sustainability with a modest to moderate level of profit margins; eliminating one baker would reduce the number of skilled workers who know how to produce goods/services critical to society. The same cannot be said about people in certain other positions whom the aforementioned hypothetical you might instead want to kill.

If the artist believes that bakers’ role in society is not comparable to certain parasitic roles, that subtext has been lost in the satiric trope inversion.

Edit: Apparently this is an old comic, so the inferred modern subtext is not the artist’s intent. I was trying to think of a better scenario for what the artist was trying to convey. You want to kill a child but the child has O- blood and is registered for organ donation upon death?

Can somebody with art skills make a comic of a Make-A-Wish kid wanting to spend their wish on shooting a health insurance CEO as vengeance for bankrupting the kid’s parents for the cancer care? Maybe a panel or two of Make-A-Wish refusing and the kid saying something about how they’re gonna die soon anyway so the deterrent of penal punishment would be useless against them? Cyanide & Happiness could probably pull this off

Do you really expect that to happen?

You know, studies show that keeping a dildo inside the house is more dangerous than a loaded gun. That’s why I own 10 guns, in case some maniac tries to sneak in a dildo.
