When uploaded to Netflix, an episode of the educational children's show "Bill Nye the Science Guy" cut out a segment saying that chromosomes determine one's gender.

[...] While noncontroversial at the time, the 1996 segment appears to contradict Netflix's new series "Bill Nye Saves the World."

The new show endorses a socially liberal understanding of gender, under which gender is defined by self-identification rather than genetics and there are more than just the two traditional genders.

People, people, people... Say it with me: The Internet Never Forgets.

    ( o Y o ) <---- Look, boobies!

    First time I saw this:

    (y)

    I actually though it was meant to depict female hips and legs. Took me some minutes to get that it just meant "yes". Square brackets might have helped ;-)

      FYI, the very word "Boob" is itself an orthographic representation of what it describes, and in the correct order too:

      B (plan view)
      oo (front elevation)
      b (side elevation)

    He likes to take my ideas, I feel dirty. The irony is fun though.
