The crusaders were essentially what QAnon people think rich liberals are. Waging war on (other) Christians, cannabalizing children, partially responsible for a mass of youths disappearing (probably into slavery), creating secret religious cults, following Charles Manson-esque neo-prophets, easily swayed by money, constantly looting, destroying or losing priceless Christian artefacts.

Considering how many Christian schools still use “Crusaders” as a sports team name I think Alfalfa’s opinion is uncomfortably orthodox

IIRC the Inquistion didn't even execute people for practicing witchcraft because the official position of the Church was that there was no such thing.

They didn't execute anyone. They handed them over to the monarchs for that business. But yeah, the Church didn't burn anyone for Witchcraft because of the idea that it didn't really work. That changed a lot when the protestants came in and suddenly witches became a popular bogeyman.

It was functionally a response to outside attempt to reform the church. So Lollards, Waldesians and so on tended to get hit more than anyone

The Inquisition means several different things and covers hundreds of years of history. Technically it still exists today. The Spanish Inquisition was kinda it's own thing and lasted from before Columbus took sail until the early 19th century. Also there weren't any secret Jews in Spain. At one point in time, before the expulsion, a bunch of antisemites forced a bunch of Jews to convert at threat of violence or death, the Pope found out and said "yeah, that doesn't count if you don't want it to count." Most of the forced converts just went back to being Jewish and some of them said "well, my life will be a lot easier if I'm Catholic while I live in Spain" and actually converted. Then, much later, the Jews were expelled and people who wanted to steal their neighbors poo poo found out their neighbors great great grandfather had been Jewish and converted during that time, so they accused their neighbor of being a secret Jew even though the neighbor had been raised Catholic and considered themself Catholic. The menorahs being hidden in floorboards poo poo was made up.

Imagine entering Wal-Mart and the greeter stops you, giving you a form that just says "I acknowledge the slave play on the candy aisle" and telling you if you don't sign you can't enter.

Turns out Columbine's mascot was also the Rebels, but of course no one outside of Columbine would know that, and no one else seemed to see any issue with the banner.

It's obviously a sexual thing, so the golden rule of "all involved parties should be consenting adults" should be applied; the other shoppers did at no point consent to participating in their kink. It's a classic violation of boundaries and overall lovely behavior even if you personally are cool with it! E: beaten

I would assume made worse because one of the shooters went by "Reb"... Also, I give a big "of course" to everyone bringing up the "not everyone has consented to seeing this poo poo in public". I couldn't think of a way to word my "Eww, no" that wouldn't have a (hypothetical, hopefully) rear end in a top hat be like "OH, OKAY, SO YOU'RE OKAY WITH IT AS LONG AS IT'S BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, HUH? YOU SURE SOUND LIKE ONE OF THOSE HOMOPHOBES RIGHT NOW!!!" I'm not aware of that kind of poo poo in the BDSM community, but I do know that weirdo "MAPs" (aka pedos) and "zoophiles" like to claim they're an oppressed class like LGBT+ folks are.

Honestly you'll get that with any group; the people who see social justice rhetoric only as it applies to what they want to do and say, and have no concept of trying to make a society that works for everyone.

Yes but in popular culture everyone only tends to remember that the Greeks got through that wall. An impenetrable wall that turned out to be, well, penetrable, not a good luck for a condom company.

Kissing, holding hands, telling people you're dating, etc etc. As soon as an act is not okay because the people participating are not cishet, rather than because of the act itself, you've got bigotry.

A long time ago there was a good GBS thread looking through the anecdotes in a study concerning BDSM discrimination. There was a fairly even mix running from people getting harassed or fired because someone at work found their BDSM related profile or heard rumors, people who were discrimated against because they apparently had to tell everyone in their life about it and were shocked that some people reacted poorly, and then the top-tier where a couple were shocked that CPS got involved after they tried to find a babysitter for their kids on a fetish site, because they might as well get someone who would also be a babysitter-themed partner in their new threesome.
