I think their more sensible takes stems from the fact that they are outside of the imperial core, so they aren’t westoid in their takes. Still libs though.
Their english language media are much more tolerable than the arabic language ones. Probably different authors or they’re trying to project a different image with the english media.
Sorry for this long comment, it just kept getting longer as I found stuff lol. This isn’t even most of what I found, there’s a lot more I could write about Al-Jazeera.
I easily found some examples of “they’re turning our kids gay” bullshit because Western media no longer portrays queer characters as punchlines or tragic stories. I don’t read them regularly but I do remember coming across shit pieces in the past. This isn’t the only topic they publish weird shit about either.
The effects of rainbow capitalism are disastrous to queer people in imperial periphery countries when it’s used as a weapon for stirring shit. It radicalizes a lot of reactionary groups because they consider homosexuality or being transgender as some Western “degeneracy” that’s being pushed from abroad to corrupt their people. No one wins from this shit except the imperialists who can take advantage of destabilizing countries using religious reactionaries for their own benefit. As part of the LGBT+ community myself I only get harmed by this bullshit.

Oh, I didn’t know that. In what way are the Arabic and English versions different?

A movement inside Egypt supported by the general piblic and government officials to create “kid-safe” media because they believe foreign corporations and governments are conspiring to “ruin” their kids
This clown saying that accepting queer people is a slippery slope to accepting pedophilia. Relies on Islamic texts to support his position. Also some weird shit about gender, it’s a whole clusterfuck
Netflix secret plot to turn kids gay and trans
Same for Disney+ with Lightyear movie
The outrage over this movie was for various reasons but one of them was that a character comes out and gets accepted by some of the other characters which is apparently bad. This movie was set in Lebanon and involved a bunch of actors who are well known in the MENA region so the outrage was pretty intense
Al-Azhar which is basically like the Vatican for Sunni Muslims but has way more relevance in present times defending a player who refused to participate in some game because the players had to wear kits with pride flags on them. My problem isn’t against this particular player but the fact that a religious institution with such massive sway over a large amount of people globally isn’t afraid to say this shit.
