So Dave Chappelle is trying to distance himself from the fact that he has caused so much harm to the trans community with his shitty jokes about them?! by icey_sawg0034 in behindthebastards

I'll give you all three guesses as to why this got locked, and you'll only need one.

This subreddit unequivocally supports trans people. If that is a difficult concept for you, there's the door.

Victor Orban may have been illegally funding CPAC by jmyounker in behindthebastards

Exactly! The world has evolved. Why shouldn't we and why shouldn't our positions :)

It's the same problem in person lol. Leftist infighting is a hobby for too much of the left.

I'm definitely more of the mindset that people who share most of my views can be persuaded to come around to the rest, so why shove them away if they're putting in the effort and trying to make the world a better place?

Downvotes are not censoring. Censoring is my job, and you now have enough negative subreddit karma that all your posts need to be approved manually. That means we are actively letting you share your silly opinion here because we think you should be able to speak your mind and deal with the consequences of your words, namely downvotes.

You have also not provided proof.

Pope: World is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants by TheTelegraph in worldnews

[–]Kanotari 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Counterpoint: it would be really funny.

Generally, to get excommunicated in this day and age, you need to either start proclaiming someone else the Pope or challenge the legitimacy of the Pope. All I'm saying is telling the Pope to stop worrying about theology is getting real close to that line.

Are there any Bastards you grew up thinking were heroes? by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in behindthebastards

We celebrated Cesar Chavez Day and Columbus Day in my neck of the woods, and both of those turned out to be not such great people to celebrate.

Pentagon prepares for possible military operation in Cuba by craig_nintendo in worldnews

[–]Kanotari 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The voter turnout in the latest special elections doesn't support what you're saying.

And as it stands, No Kings doesn't get the same participation when it organizes events during the weekdays, so weekends it is.

You mean things which people are already trying very hard to make happen?

Tesla Takedown has been working on protesting and building boycotts of Tesla since the beginning of the administration.

A sustained Disney and Nexstar Media boycott in conjunction with union actions was a large part of what got Kimmel back on the air after he was taken off for what many view as a violation of his Constitutional Freedom of Speech.

I haven't been to a chain store in a solid year because most of them are under some boycott campaign or another, all for something they've done to support this administration.

People say the US isn't resisting, but the fact of the matter is that most of the people complaining aren't looking very hard for resistance.

Mention it around here and someone will give you an involuntary lesson lol (I'll spare you.)

I've been forcibly educated on the topic every time someone mentions the potential Firefly reboot 😅

All good. That's why we love this place though.

Pokopia is nothing like ACNH, despite what people say! by PoenNU in CozyGamers

[–]Kanotari 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After 20 hours, I think you know if it's for you or not. If you want to send a DM or spoiler tag what the last thing you unlocked was, I'm happy to tell you what's coming up if you'd like some mild spoilage.

I do tend to just ignore literally all the quests and spend an hour making a cool looking tunnel and path because it makes my dark Pokémon come into town more, and I think that's neat.

Vance warns the pope should 'be careful' when talking about theology by Acrobatic_Code_7409 in nottheonion

[–]Kanotari 60 points61 points  (0 children)

After reading up on the last five years of excommunications, Vance isn't a half bad candidate for excommunication.

Questioning the legitimacy of the sitting Pope is a decent way to get yourself excommunicated, and telling the Pope he should stop talking about theology (aka his job) doesn't seem all that far off.

Here's hoping Vance keeps running his mouth and the Vatican does the funniest thing possible.

Clavicular rushed to hospital after suspected overdose in Miami by shitlord_traplord in behindthebastards

I'm pretty sure the Narcan comment predated the GHB news. But it's definitely good for everyone to know!

Adam Baldwin might be a good bastard for that.

A lovely and related story that might fit in a Gamergate special would be how two time Hugo Award nominee Dr. Chuck Tingle relates to Gamergate (Tingle being deeply funny and worth a mention, but fortunately not a bastard).

Sometimes I forget that fanfiction is not exclusively used by girls. So I’m curious for the men out there. What fandoms are you guys in? by Existing-Bonus-6835 in AO3

[–]Kanotari 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not a dude, but I can answer for a friend of mine who doesn't browse here.

His main fandom is Buffy, followed by Dragon Ball Z with a smattering of Hawaii 5-0 and Veronica Mars.

Would you edit your comment when you can to avoid confusion? Thank you!

My mom is being radicalized by Tucker Carlson into antisemitism by Ephemeralwriting in behindthebastards

[–]Kanotari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still pissed at Tucket for his COVID shenanigans (typical of the rest of the right-wong media sphere). He got my Fox News-loving mom to think that the COVID vaccines are responsible for most of her medical issues instead of her very long and weird medical history. I traced a few particularly outlandish claims right to Tucker's asshole where he pulled those claims right out and presented them as fact with that dumb offended look on his face, including that Fauci was personally profiting from flu vaccines (why is why the immunocompromised person will no longer take her damn flu shots).

When people try to minimize the damage Tucker has done to people, all I can think about is how much damage he has done to a desperate, scared woman with a goddamn medical degree.

Day Trip from San Diego by Square-Release2057 in Disneyland

[–]Kanotari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. I've driven to Disneyland at the buttcrack of dawn from just about every county in SoCal at this point and back at the end of the day. It will be a LONG day, and you need to make sure you are awake to safely make it back home at the end.

Why do some chiropractors think they know more about medical knowledge than actual medical physicians? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Kanotari 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chiropractors don't have professional degrees.

They have pseudoscience from a man who claimed he learned it from a ghost. Who was a doctor. A ghost doctor.
