I'm bored. Give me a spicy, explosive subject and I will give my hot take on it. We may even start a hellthread. :jahy_proud:
It's like Russian Roulette, but with posts instead of bullets. :jahy_scared:
Some folders that I have acquired since this post include incels, racial relations, and more. :jahy_oooh:

@SuperSnekFriend
I'll ask for a niche one: The "Satanic Panic" and other similar "Christian" movements in mass media. :watching:
(Any of them will do - vidya is evil, Harry Potter is witchcraft, etc., more looking for a general overview than a take on any one specific event :zt_naruhodo: )

@Giganova8 @SuperSnekFriend Those are usually done by Protestant groups and not like Orthdox or Catholic. They usually care about more important stuff rather than being moral busy bodies unlike Protestants

@SuperSnekFriend
I threw video games in given that it all gets wrapped up into the same tangle of issues usually, since retards just lump it all into "right-wing bigots". My issue with those was that they tended towards hysterical overreaction to the most harmless things possible, which bred resentment and ridicule towards any and all positions espoused by Christians. Even today, the only thing you need to do to completely derail any protest at the evil shit going on is invoke "satanic panic" and watch the opposition just implode. There may have been good reasons in there somewhere, at the heart of it all, but for every serious position you had a hundred people claiming that Pokemon cards were devil worship, somehow. :akko_weary:
The big problem, of course, is that this threw open the gates for all the poz we see today, because now any attempt to criticize that is met with claims that "you're just like those idiots in the 90's!!!! :soy: ". Hell, even I'm hesitant to fully back a lot of the modern movements cause I have no idea whether or not they'll pull a stunt like that once they get into power, and squander their momentum on chasing irrelevant pet issues that do nothing but alienate their base. :gura_pout:

@SuperSnekFriend
And here's some snek as thanks for your hot take :cat_blush:
-
@Giganova8 Satanic Panic was a justified disturbance from middle-class Christian America that was co-opted and suffered (by design) from lack of structure, authority, and knowledge.
Some infamous protests over cultural products during the 80's through 2000's had legitimate cause for outrage. Some were sincere, yet heavily misguided, protests. Some were outright legalistic. Those in the mainstream who pushed back against all those protests at the time were not and are not your friends.
I don't recall sufficiently popular Christian pastors or influencers denouncing video gaming itself, only certain video games. I think that's internet users conflating Jack Thompson, who I don't believe was a Christian, and the vidya violence question with other actual Christians protesting.

@SpurgAnon @SuperSnekFriend many accuse the Calvinist/Reformed of having bad theology. But they also lack the understanding of the theology or arguments behind Calvinism. Picture related is something Snek knows, there are lots of people like this.

@SuperSnekFriend the reformed sects are biblically illiterate at the most fundamental level that they aren't even worth bothering to engage with in regards to theology.
-
@MK2boogaloo @SuperSnekFriend I'm pretty familiar with the madness, I've gotten to watch it play out numerous times
-
@SuperSnekFriend Easy. If your ideal 'monster girl' is about as monsterous in appearance as an elf then it's not a monster girl, you have a cosplay fetish.

@SuperSnekFriend
I'm surprised you didn't mention your TND take, that caused quite the sideshow. Though it has obviously been run through.

@SuperSnekFriend Here's my spicy take, Tofu is pretty good
-
@branman65 It's a folder. Got anything more specific related to incels? :senkoHmm:
-
@SuperSnekFriend hmmm, perhaps a mix of the consequences of pro celibacy theology and how anti arranged marriage propaganda has ruined the west.
-
@SuperSnekFriend incels!

@Zerglingman @ceo_of_monoeye_dating It's simultaneously too much hated and not hated enough. There are benefits of centralizing processes that has helped non-IT-smart normalfags get into Linux like Windows, which will benefit FOSS overall as the market share of FOSS grows.
However, Pottering is still a fucking Microsoft dick-sucking faggot and Canonical and Red Hat are fags for trying to force everyone else into taking systemdicks up their distro's butt. Linus should have put his foot down harder.

@bleedingphoenix Death of the artist I can do a take on, but artistic integrity is a bit vague. What do you mean by that? :02_wut:
-
@SuperSnekFriend ah, i've got one: artistic integrity and death of the artist.
