Now let's do this exact same meme but with Hexbear and being right about all of the nazi bar instances

Cowbee is the goat

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago

For some reason I'm glad I don't know who cowbee is. Sometimes outside looking in is the best position to find yourself in.

Cowbee is just a stupid commie

He's everyone's favorite stupid commie, thank you very much.

You're also not stupid at all. I often wonder if you're actually four people. If you're not, props for being that good.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 days ago

Thanks for the kind words, but no, I've got a long road ahead in my studies before I consider myself educated in the field of Marxism-Leninism. I'm just one person, I just like to yap!

Cowbee is responsible for exterminating, at minimum, ten million White cishet capitalist men, and even that estimate might be too low.

I didn't realize the avatar was so cute

[-] oculi@anarchist.nexus 6 points 3 days ago

I always thought your pfp was cute, for some reason i thought it was an OC or a comic, cool to finally see the cowbee quadrinity

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago

Thank you! It's from a Korean artist, yeyepainting on instagram! Shamelessly stolen though.

[-] oculi@anarchist.nexus 7 points 3 days ago

Wow, they have great art; though I will never disassociate that dog with the "marxist-leninist man on lemmy" ever again ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

This dog is a COMMUNIST

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago

Haha, I feel bad, but the art is TOO CUTE I can't not use it (unless they personally ask me to stop or mention that it can't be used, which I haven't seen). The vibe of the one I use is too perfect for explaining how I feel every day, lmao

[-] oculi@anarchist.nexus 7 points 3 days ago

Don't feel bad but just know, now whenever I will ever see a watercolor painting of a dog I will think of the immortal science of marxism ๐Ÿ˜Œ

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 days ago

Truly we are blessed ๐Ÿถ

[-] Pwalabwa@quokk.au 5 points 3 days ago

Hexbear needs this as a soft PPB emoji:

CBBor CowBee's Butt ๐Ÿค“

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago

Amazing, lmao! I'd feel less bad about the implications of using an example of the horrors of industrialized farming to shock libs, but at the same time I wouldn't want to presume ownership over the original artist's creations.

Assuming maybe wrongfully that they are a man, (i'm uncomfortable with the use of they/them to designate a singular person, english isn't my first language), yeah, I'm seriously impressed by his patience and kindness.

I felt so ashamed to give small answers to him that one time he corrected me with a very understandable and precise paragraph, that I actually became motivated to read a bit of theory.

That's what i call a good influencer.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 12 points 3 days ago

The correct pronoun is the preferred pronoun.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 days ago

Some apps don't display modified usernames, so it would just show "cowbee" instead of "cowbee [he/they]"

Using "they" for a singular person has been used since at least the 14th century, so there's no need to feel uncomfortable with it. I highly recommend reading the Wikipedia page on Singular they, which touches on its history.

A similar example is "you." "You" used to be only a plural, with "thou" being the singular, but over time it fell out of fashion and now "you" can be used as singular or plural, like how "they" can be singular or plural.

Singular "they" was criticised by some people hundreds of years after it started being used. But language cannot be prescribed; it is determined by how people use it.

[-] TheGuyTM3@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

Oh, thank you for the info, but when i said that I am uncomfortable with that pronoun, i said it in the sense "I'm not used to this pronoun and don't know how to use it properly".

If I understood well, it can be used like he-his, she-her, they-theirs? I gotta use gender neutral pronouns more often. Sounds better than "it-its"

[-] thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 days ago

Oh that makes sense, sorry I misunderstood!

Yep, they/them/theirs is used in the same place as he/him/his or she/her/hers. It/it/its should not be used for people unless someone explicitly says those are their preferred pronouns. "It" is typically used for objects and non-human animals, so it could be seen as rude to refer to a human as "it." If unsure, use they/them.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Some people do use it/its as pronouns, fyi.

Edit: Just saw that you said that, my bad!
