So no one there confirms if something is fake or not and then someone else builds a whole other narrative out of it. Very X-ian.

Wut? I’m just now (like, right now) catching & watching season 2 so this is timely. No Ortega, no watch, simple as ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

its a click bait article title : www.disneydining.com/netflixs-wed...

Oh 😂 Emily Litella voice: Nvm Welp, I guess it gave that Sephardic crypto Jewish gal a thrill to gnash her teeth at strawmen 🙄

Can't imagine why they might need a 'backup' account.

If one can write to a director and get things cancelled as happened here, can I get things made? Community owes me a movie, and Chevy Chase is not getting younger and more affable.

🤣

She slayed in that role. I will be heartbroked

The misleading title on the clickbait article temporarily distracted me from the insanity.

For anyone unfamiliar, they meant not crypto meaning cryptocurrency, but crypto- meaning concealed. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto-...

Holy hell, even after learning about this that answer still seems like an AI hallucination

but what if you put the torah on the blockchain

There were bored apes on Noah's Ark.

I’m afraid there’s too much to unpack on your carry on sir, you’ll need to check it

Animated.

If Gomez Addams was based on anyone, he was based on Charles Addams, who was not Jewish, let alone whatever made-up right-wing conspiracy version of Judaism this is.

As bananas as the comment sounds, Sephardic crypto Jews were real. They practiced Judaism in secret during the Spanish Inquisition.

Nobody expected this.

Insane Zionists are insane

Not insane, just so racist that their racism gets in the way of normal human thinking

Truly not a normal way of thinking. I would like to think racist thinking isn’t normal either. But sometimes you have to wonder.

May not be normal but it's entirely too common

His name is "Gomez" though. Like, Gomez. Come on. Do we think that's crypto Jewish or just Spanish?

She’s clearly out of her mind but Conversos were a real historical thing & probably what she’s trying to pin to the character (poorly)

Thanks! Always love to learn a new term. Are there any tropes for Conversos in media?

Not that I know of ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly the Iberian peninsula is kind of an ethnicity variety pack.

I have to say that it’s kinda weird for Spanish speakers because Gomez is a common last name, not first. In the Spanish translation his name was Homero Addams. That’s right, he was the original TV Homer. D’oh!

This is his original design, from the original comics. I dont wanna go cartoon phrenologist, but there arent really any Jewish tropes on display here. Latino ones?-or Swarthy spaniard? Sure. Mind you I dont think this is a racist character. It was created in 1938.

Honestly as far as "racist" tropes go, he looks italian, considering the era. Gomez is definitely hispanic though. Raul Julia was Puerto Rican, and I think that was the best portrayal so far by far, look included. Love Luis Guzman too though and he is also Puerto Rican. It might become default canon

that Gomez Addams (still weird for a first name) is Puertorriqueño

Huh?

Mother of Gawd what’s next? HBO is going to replace super woke Eagly with an American Kestrel?

Cryptojewology

I read that she quit the show herself when her co-star was fired over false allegations of sexual misconduct.

imagine looking at the choices of things to be worried about in 2025 and thinking, “nope, not good enough, I need to imagine some new ones!”

...what

Good grief 😵‍💫

Not gonna lie I met a few really cool people on threads. But this is a much more comfortable app

Sometimes I hate being able to read English. This is one of those times.

Not up to date but Jenna Ortega cancelled for defending human rights of Palestinians?

I always assumed Gomez was Hispanic.

yeah that’s the gist of it

she's not, its click bait. www.disneydining.com/netflixs-wed...

This was all click bait to spread awareness about the animated series?!? 😂😅

yeah i figured the context around her leaving the show was false. the genocide deniers are still trying to “cancel” her tho, is what i meant. my bad

oh yea no worries just wanted to make sure you knew <333 also fuck everyone who doesn't see the genocide happening in front of us

I mean, clearly. It's Gomez Addams, not Goyim Addams

Hwat

🤦

who wants to tell them it has nothing to do with the live action show lmao

Nigga what

“Sephardic Crypto Jews”

The Paul Rudd phenomena

Both good band named

Nude Tayne already taken

The term is real, and a reasonable term. It's their statement as a whole, taken together, that is nonsense.

No I know. And I’ve never really watched Addams Family outside of the 90’s film. But are they secretly practicing Judaism? Or an allegory for it?

Addams Family Values definitely has a lot of Jewish influence because of the number of Jews working on the project, and it showed. As far as I know however there is no central connection though. The original base characters, as far as I know, do not have any Jewish connection.

Good Lord

Who can forget Gomez Addams popular catchphrase: יקירתי

I went to go read the story. It's clickbait. It's not about Wednesday at all, but rather a new animated movie.

So anyone who supports Palestine is antisemite? So anyone who disagrees with Israel in any fashion is antisemite? Fuck off and free Palestine you ignorant asshats.

... but she's coming back for S3... /flails

That anyone would buy into the notion that one letter to a filmmaker from one disgruntled person with a sociopolitical axe to grind would shut down a ratings juggernaut boggles the mind. Adding in the fact that the article in question says nothing of the kind just makes it all the more SMDH.

So, Sephardim got memecoins?

Satire?

oh my goodness

I am always astounded by people who are so confidently wrong.

Seems about as expected over there

Can i point out that Palestinians are Semites?

Disney Dining gets all the scoops.

🙄

Antisemitism has come to mean anyone who opposes genocide in Gaza lately. Some people were recognising its devaluing long before it became fashionable to call someone antisemitic 👇

I’m on several Zionist blocklists for being an anti-semite (I’m really not) and being a conspiracy theorist, for a conspiracy I had to google as I’d never heard of it. Distorting reality to suit their fkd up agenda seems to be the eternal motive.. It’s way past bizarre…

I haven't checked, but I think I may well be blocked too. I couldn't care less. I stand with the survivors who know what they're talking about.

Well quite. People who can’t see a horror of history, being repeated by Netanyahu and the IDF, are blind. Propaganda, dehumanisation, theft and wholesale murder is repeating Nazism. If people are offended by that statement, instead of owning it.. 🤯

I get blocked regularly and am on some insane Zionist block lists too. Glad to have some good company in opposing GENOCIDE.

I am also a racist, anti-Arab, a homophobe, a TERF, MAGA, Far Right.. I looked the other day. 13,000+ blocks due to lists. Ironically some of their compilers haven’t blocked me 🤦🏻‍♀️ Quite a few randoms out there with bizarre agendas. *I am an egalitarian global feminist, anti-racist and a pacifist 😇✊🏻

I got blocked by loads of alleged liberals for shouting out about Disabled people’s rights.. when the British govt were trying to change the PIP criteria.. Fkg bonkers.. I’m a liberal but.. I’m totally fine with ableism .. 🤬🤬🤬🤬 #disability #TakingThePIP

I somehow ended up on a "genocide simps" list because I was trying to delineate a difference between Hamas and the Palestinian people.

It’s weird when people try to conflate the two. Distinguishing between them always seems to upset some camp.

The truth hurts..

Gomez was just a cool wife guy who liked trains. Why does anybody need more backstory than that

Yep. And they don’t.

I always assumed Gomez was Hispanic.

does anyone else smell toast?

not me lucky

Totally normal discourse.

Talking about a new animated movie like it's...

The loons gonna loon.

Gomez Adams Sephardic Crypto Jew lives in the same SNL Universe as Lyle Effeminate Heterosexual

what's a se....you know what, nevermind

They were Jews who faked conversions to Christianity during the inquisition.

Totally worth a google. If nothing else because it will lead you to something completely unexpected.

I simultaneously despise and deeply respect clickbait. On the one hand…it’s annoying as fuck. On the other hand…I could never dream of making up headlines so deviously clever that they blatantly lie to you without saying a single thing that could ever be considered false.

Is her stepping down from the role true? I can’t find other sources and I don’t know if Disney Dining tends to get scoops like this. They’re still doing season 2 promo stuff so it would be weird to announce.

The Netflix website makes it sound like she's returning and TV Guide says she is. Filming starts in November and I doubt that would be true if she were leaving.

Threads is *thisclose* to becoming Twitter/X. The trolls from that site have made their way to Threads. I rarely go there because of that.

Can I still get weirdly colored food at Wendy’s?

mypigmentedlifebackup

FFS... I am SO SICK of the bullshit antisemitism accusations from these goddamned martyrs. SUPPORTING THE EXISTENCE OF PALESTINIANS, INCLUDING THEIR CHILDREN, IS NOT ANTISEMITISM! Full. Stop.

The first 48 hours of threads were some of the best, most absurd ones in the history of the internet. It then took the sharpest turn into whatever the hell this is on day 3

Bc it is was Insta for pols and too light weight. Do not mix Insta with true life

Main thing I remember was the person literally just stealing dril tweets and getting tons of engagement from people who knew nothing of them

gurl charge your phone

wow that’s lit
