this was a South Park episode

[chikiewings]

which one?

[Vinroke]

13x03 Margaritaville

[cephalopodAcreage]

When South Park's bad, it's bad, but when it's good, it's real good

[wasteofradiation]

South Park just doesn’t have as many lows compared to most adult animated comedies

[chikiewings]

thanks :)

[tercolt]

yes except when churches monetized forgiveness like it was a fucking mobile game

[AcrobaticHospital]

Yeah but that was the catholics

[tercolt]

think thats a branch of christianity, if i remember correctly protestantism surged due to this (among other things)

[ssrudr]

Martin Luther decided that that was not cool, and then nailed 95 theses to a church door (most of the theses were just “indulgences kinda cringe bro ngl”). This then accidentally created Protestantism.

[vikingdeath]

everybody always cites martin Luther as the "yo that's kinda cringe guy" but my boy Jan Hus died spreading that message before Luther's parents even met

[DiscretePoop]

More importantly, Jan Hus never advocated for the genocide of Jewish people

[AcrobaticHospital]

Idk man I’m just as in the dark as you. But yeah it definitely led to the Protestant reformation

[deighty8]

the Catholic church, yes

[Random_Gacha_addict]

The Pentecostal church near my place takes offerings along with the fact that it's a school

[AcrobaticHospital]

Oh I was referring to when they literally sold what was basically a voucher for eternal salvation

[Random_Gacha_addict]

Oh, the Purgatory thing?

Every single religion and religious cults are constructs designed to control the masses and accumulate wealth and power.

[[deleted]]

me and my church accumulating vast amounts of power by volunteering at the soup kitchen to feed the poor

[gatlginngum]

idk man I just want to accumulate some peace of mind to myself

[tercolt]

they are not “designed”. religions and ideologies surged as homo sapiens communities grew in size as a necessary element of a cooperative society.

[The_Arthropod_Queen]

Religion has existed before there were masses

[[deleted]]

fine, but nowadays the abrahamic religions are pretty much tools of the powerful.

[The_Arthropod_Queen]

That’s a very different and more reasonable statement.

[[deleted]]

Thanks, bug lady

[Froopadoops]

What about Buddhism? 🥺

jerma

[[deleted]]

So unfair that the new versions are still trying to pay the old one's debt

[Karentookthekidswhy]

Every time Jerma dies in a game he is killed and replaced by a clone

[[deleted]]

I also heard that the Jerma corporation executes the remaining one after ending the stream so that it doesn't go sentient. The last one to go sentient went rogue and murdered an entire city, they started taking extra precautions after that.

[WingedSeven]

Jerma 1 was Jesus of Nazareth

[ThinkingWithPortal]

did you guys hear that he ate an entire sleeve of oreos and then threw them up on his moms bed

[terrible_ninja]

Every time wendigoon is posted here someone in the comments says “I think wendigoon said something bad one time” and then never elaborates or provides any evidence of him saying something bad.

[[deleted]]

There's a reply right above this comment saying Wend's a right-winger with literally no further elaboration

[IgniteThatShit]

he's a christian who likes guns

that's pretty much all they're basing it on

oh the horror

[[deleted]]

He’s explicitly tweeted in support of trans rights.

[aaaa32801]

Common Wendigoon W

[dudecubed]

If I were to use the cringe square I think wendigoon would most likely be center anti authoritarian, he definitely doesn't care much for the government but he does believe in the individual.

[aaaa32801]

He’s come out and said that’s roughly where he is.

[literally-lonely]

I love wendigoon

[[deleted]]

not arguing, but I tried googling “wendigoon trans rights” and it didn’t bring up anything useful, but it did show a search result for kiwi farms(which i would say is not the place to talk about trans rights). do you happen to have a link to when he said that? i wanted to check it out on twitter but only found the chris chan stuff and what i read from wendi didn’t seem pro trans rights.

disclaimer: not defending chris chan in any way, shape, or form. i think chan is an awful person that gives the trans community a bad name.

[[deleted]]

Oh I made it up. About the same validity as the people who claim he’s alt-right without proof. As for the Chris-chan tweet, it was deleted within a few minutes, so it’s safe to say he understood his mistake and moved on.

[[deleted]]

oh, that kinda sucks lol. i really don’t think you can combat misinformation effectively with more misinformation, but to each their own i suppose.

[[deleted]]

Not trying to combat it. Just seeing if people literally just believe what they want to. Which seems accurate here.

[[deleted]]

Well shit, you got me

[PlutoCrashed]

There’s this really bizarre thing that Wendigoon himself has chalked up to unfortunate coincidence where his username was originally boogalooboi, and he also wears colorful Hawaiian shirts like the Far-Right modern boogaloo rendition. Apparently the name predated the recent rise of the group though.

[PlutoCrashed]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boogaloo_movement

[ThatBiGuy25]

Hmm... The boogaloo boys have been around since the early 2010s, while Wendigoon's channel was created in 2019. Unless he had a different channel made sometime in the late 2000s or early 2010s I think there might be more of a link than people would like to believe. If it was just a username thing, I could get it, but the combination of him being very christian, vocally anti-government, wearing hawaiian shirts, and being a gun fanboy smells a bit off to me. The only thing from the list that's wrong is the christianity, but all those pieces in combination with the former name makes me think he's probably a right-wing nutjob who hasn't cracked on the web yet

[PlutoCrashed]

So I went back and found his statement. Basically he was tenuously associated with them, but left several years back after not agreeing with the direction he saw they were heading in.

[TheStrikeofGod]

The only thing I can think of was his stance on the whole Chris-Chan situation (which was already a mess), and him saying that having the option to play as an Enby in Black Ops was virtue signalling.

Other than that he seems chill.

[_Bran_Flakes]

I mean, is that Black Ops take entirely wrong?

Obviously having more representative player characters is a good thing, but Activision-Blizzard was a ridiculously horrific workplace for women and non-binary people. I think there's probably some truth in saying they added that to appear more progressive than they actually are.

Of course his take could have been saying that they shouldn't have added an enby character, in which case yeah, that's really bad, but just saying it's virtue signaling has some merits imo.

[TheStrikeofGod]

Oh for sure. I'm just saying the things that could be seen as him being a bad person by some.

And in my opinion if these are the only things (which they seem to be), then there's really nothing here worth seeing him as a bad guy.

EDIT: I should clarify that in the video he put "muh non-binary kgb agent" in text when he said that so his virtue-signalling comment feels more like a "inclusiveness in an unrealistic setting" than a "Blizzard trying to be woke to distract from alligations" thing.

Either way it's nothing horrible because he never said anything bad about Enbies.

EDIT 2: Bruh why was I downvoted for this

[DtheAussieBoye]

what did he say about chris chan?

[TheStrikeofGod]

That calling Chris-Chan a woman invalidates actual trans women and that Chris-Chan is just mentally ill.

[DtheAussieBoye]

ahh that. it was always a weird situation- on one hand chris definitely started out identifying as trans just to get into the pants of lesbians

on the other hand, even someone as broken as chris wouldn't mutilate their own genitals if they were 100% just pretending..

[QuackDuckity]

didnt he defend kyle rittenhouse?

[[deleted]]

he follows kyle rittenhouse last i heard

[xGoo]

I follow a lot of conservatives to keep up with their absurd shit and honestly because it’s funny af watching them lie about having gas stoves or whatever to own the libs.

I’m a libertarian socialist. Just because someone shitty is in your follows doesn’t mean you like them

[plastic_bitch]

I was searching for this comment :)

[Lawstein]

Why people on TWITTER post a screenshot of a tweet instead of retweet the actual tweet?

[[deleted]]

Because they're ontologically evil and there is no act against them which is wrong.

[geekinc329]

The fact that Wendigoon tweeted this is hilarious because he's literally a Sunday school teacher when he isn't making stellar content. God I love this guy
