Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deset Gled" data-source="post: 9383403" data-attributes="member: 7808">Justin Lanasa seems to have a hard time with Pride Month.  For whatever reason, the idea that non-heterosexual people might not be ashamed of themselves really seems to get under his skin.  During pride month of 2022, he thought it was a good time to post these images: <a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/the-full-glorious-history-of-nutsr.684697/post-8675383" target="_blank">TSR - The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR</a>  And he chose June of 2023 to start interacting with J.K. Rowling on Twitter: <a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/the-full-glorious-history-of-nutsr.684697/post-9050322" target="_blank">TSR - The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR</a>I am going to put what he has done this year entirely in spoiler tags.  This is your trigger warning for anti-inclusive content.[SPOILER="Anti-inclusive content"]There is a meme that has been around for awhile and is not extremely popular, but is pretty easy to understand. It uses a clip of Jerry (from Tom and Jerry fame) choosing between two things.  Here's a random example:[MEDIA=youtube]JVJjGwVDyPE[/MEDIA]Obviously it's meant to show one thing you like, while throwing some humorous shade at another.  Mostly harmless.  I've seen people use it to highlight sports rivalries, make jabs about car brands, whatever.On June 18th, 2024, Justin Lanasa posted a YouTube short that featured this meme.  It was shared on one of his public personal channels (he has four public channels asssociated with his name, plus a couple of business ones, and an unknown number of alts).  On the left hand side (the one that Jerry gives a raspberry) it features the North Korean flag, the Pride flag (simple rainbow version), and the flag of a middle eastern country.  On the right hand side is the flag of Japan, the flag of Great Britain, the flag of Turkey, and the flag of an opposing middle eastern country.  This is the "good" side that Jerry chooses.The meme uses the audio from the Tom and Jerry clip I shared above.  But it doesn't use the video of Jerry.  It also doesn't feature Justin Lanasa.  The person in the video, pointing with their fingers, and clearly supporting Japan and disliking the Pride flag, is Justin's elementary school aged daughter.For obvious reasons, I am not going to publicly share a link or even an image of this.  I find the association of the Pride flag with the North Korean flag to be heinous, but the same type of heinous we expect from Justin.  But using his daughter in this way is unconscionable on a new level.On a final note, the topic of religion and politics in the middle east is something that I'm not going to even attempt to touch with a 10' pole on this website.  I have mentioned the flags only to give a full description of the video; I'm not even going to name which side Justin supports.  I would highly recommend that anyone who doesn't want to get this thread shut down should use their absolute best judgement.  But I will note that in typical Lanasa fasion, he seems to have screwed up the details.  Instead of using the flag of Palestine, he accidentally used the flag of Sudan (the two are very similar).  Either that, or he has very strong feelings about Sudan for some reason.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
