i can't find the ad again but holy gently caress if you get the fb ad for a christmas story live prepared to be blasted with racism and people who don't understand what live plays are

there is a particular stream of upset because the kid who gets his tongue stuck is played by a black actor in the play

I didn't know being white was an essential prerequisite to being stupid enough to tongue a flagpole in the middle of winter. actually no I take that back, that makes perfect sense.

I fully believe videogame nerds would get that worked up about a videogame but what was the flimsy justification?

A backer snuck a transphobic joke into Pillars of Eternity’s backer headstones. I saw it, pointed it out to I think Josh Sawyer on Twitter, and Obsidian removed the joke. This was at the height of Gamergate, and TotalBiscuit and the other GG idiots deemed it to be “censorship.”

I STILL have people trying to reset my passwords and break into my Facebook profile after TB targeted me for “ruining gaming.”

the best part about that is when obsidian contacted that backer and asked him to change it to something else, he was fine with that and made no real kerfuffle over changing it

so those morons were literally getting mad on behalf of someone who wasn't even bothered about being 'censored'

Nah, he made some statements about how he didn't think it was right but he knew he didn't have a choice. So he changed it to insult me and other "SJWs." Which is honestly whatever, I can take some ice burn in a video game. I just wanted the transphobic joke gone.

Was it just women in bikinis? That sounds...really petty so I hope there's more.

Yeah, he wore a shirt in a bunch of prominent interviews when NASA launched something cool. The shirt was one of those Hawaiian types which had a bunch of women on it in bikinis, but it was all in like 80s sci fi style so it had an ironically cool element to it above and beyond just being half-naked women. People said hey this isn't appropriate for a prominent scientist to be wearing in a really public science event and called out NASA..

He completely agreed with them, apologized saying it was a gift, and said he wouldn't do it again. It was honestly just a regular NASA nerd dude wearing the kinds of shirts nerds do without thinking about it and causing an accidental issue.

As Push El Burrito pointed out, the MRAs got pissed feminists were stepping on men's sexuality despite the actual guy in question being completely apologetic.

I think the implication is that it originates from "master's bedroom." It's probably not true (Dictionary.com says use of the term started around 1930) but honestly considering we get "landlord" from medieval serfdom I don't think it's that much of a stretch.

Yeah, a lot of things like this come from common origins but don't actually have the same shared meaning. Master = primary male = master of the house = the master's bedroom, which is also the same person who generally would have been at the head of a slave plantation or whatever, but it's congregate and correlate, not causatory.

I can back up what I'm saying with data. Christians are the driving force behind reactionary ideologies in America. In plenty of other countries too. The occasional leftwing Christian group gets crushed by the larger ideology. I mean, you've got the current "ultra liberal" pope who used to finger leftists for rightwing death squads.

"Adapt and Die" is a very real phenomenon because Christianity is inherently reactionary and evil. If you create a Christian church with good ideas, it will necessarily die because you are planting on poisoned ground.

What do you have other than some navel gazing? Do you have any data to back up your claims that Christianity isn't a vile religion for vile people?
I’m not sure if you’re worse at reading the Bible or that article. Your readings of both are so wrong. Just go to a Unitarian Universalist Church and chill the gently caress out.
