Transformers wiki has page for Jesus.
https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Jesus
- In the Marvel UK comic issue "Stargazing", Starscream claims that Christmas is a celebration of the birth of someone called "Christ". Some suggest that Christ and Jesus are one and the same—a deity, in fact—but there is no canon evidence for this.
- According to the link, the singer Madonna is Jesus' mom 😄

Are people censoring "consent" now? On Twitter of all places?
Truly, the last safe haven for free speech.
- Twitter would be the first place I'd expect to censor "consent", since getting bought out by America's favourite transphobe and serial abuser of power dynamics...
- I assume it's been reposted to Instagram, Facebook, reddit, etc a couple dozen times and the censor happened somewhere in there

Dragonbased.

Probly because Vegeta and Raditz constantly deadnames Goku
Edit: I'm dumb, Goku isnt trans or nb (as far as I know)
- Vegeta : What's your gender?
  Goku : Fighting
  Vegeta : I mean what do you identify as?
  Goku : A super Saiyan
  Vegeta : What's in your pants?!
  Goku : Pure Ki energy
  
  Considering he didn’t understand as a child that staring at Bulma naked was not appropriate, I’m not surprised he doesn’t know what a penis is.
  EDIT: Yes I read that conversation as the voices of Christopher Sabat and Sean Schemmel.
  
  Relevant TeamFourStar line
- It doesn't matter whether someone is trans or nb. Imagine anyone changing their name for any reason. Let's say through marriage. Hypothetically Jane Doe changes her name to Jane Smith or something. When someone then keeps using their old last name, that's deadnaming too. Goku doesn't consider Kakarot to be his name. He mentions that several times and some characters just don't get it. They're willfully obtuse. Goku is Goku.
- Deadnaming surely applies to cis people who change their names as well right?
  
  Names have power. To deadname someone, regardless of why their name changed, is to strip them of the power to determine how they are referred to. It should be just as offensive to cis people as it is to trans people. I had a professor years ago who said it was akin to using slave names to destroy sense of self, its a power play, and a fucked up one at that.
  
  I think of furries and other online friends like this, yes. Being trans isn't the only situation in which one has chosen an identity other than the one they were assigned.
  That said, I wouldn't characterize Vegeta as deadnaming Goku exactly. I can't recall that Goku is upset by it, and I think it's mostly there to indicate Vegeta's continued connection to his home planet even after many years of being an Earthling.
  Calling Steven his mom's name is deadnaming.
- What a wild post scriptum 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Link to the article?
- I found it just now in <5 minutes of searching.
  The page existed for 3 hours in 2021, and again for 20 minutes in 2023. Looks like it may have been created especially for this screenshot.
