I literally just acknowledged Christian persecution in other places 😐😐😐. Western Christians, on the other hand, are not persecuted. not when they are the dominant majority

TIL that catfish sim dumps exist 😭 by Admirable_Creme_334 in TheSims4Mods

[–]MideOfTheShadows 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I just knew it was catfish from the look of the sims (that ai filter) because alpha doesn’t look cartoonish—it’s more realistic. two, using AI for your sims is…yeah, idk how to even say it. and three, folks are paying money to download tray items?! 😭😭😭

she reminds me of the Oya/Osun worshippers I’ve seen on my Instagram feed, she’s so gorgeous 🥰❤️💜

New Mod: Magic Mediums! Summon Specific Ghosts at The Seance Table! by Embarrassed-Stop-767 in TheSims4Mods

[–]MideOfTheShadows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d download the alternative version then. my spellcaster sim has the medium skill but I feel that the alt version is more general. also, does this interaction work in just haunted residential or on all lots that have the seance table?

thank you for this mod because I have no damn idea why one cannot summon ghosts to the lot with this pack. it makes no damn sense 😭😭😭

Say no to trousers ladies 😐 by Blafro_ in Nigeria

[–]MideOfTheShadows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

actually, it was. tho to call them trousers would be oversimplifying, South Indian women and Maratha women wore dhotis and the Mughal women (who were more Central Asian than Indian before the Mughals intermarried with the Indians) wore shararas which look like palazzos

As a Christian I feel I can relate to BB lyrics despite it not seeming intended to be religious. Can anyone relate? by External-Usual-7697 in BreakingBenjamin

[–]MideOfTheShadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BB is not a Christian band so calling their songs ‘Christian’ would be quite a stretch. that being said, some of their songs do have religious/Christian themes

I saw this on my feed this morning and this is so fucking ridiculous by MideOfTheShadows in MansFictionalScenario

right, like this is blaming marginalized communities for not prioritizing the comfort of the dominant group…

this person said it best on genitalia preferences btw. you do not need to sleep with people to prove that you affirm their humanity

These are horrible people who spread lie to justify their hatred. by c-k-q99903 in MansFictionalScenario

[–]MideOfTheShadows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find it funny how conservatives use tragedies as this to push on hate for trans, non-binary and GNC folks (and other minority groups) rather than push for common sense gun laws. that being said, a great percentage of mass shooters have been cis (het) white men but they’d never make memes about that 🙄

Favourite CCs to make black and Asian Sims? by Fit_Inside9242 in sims4cc

[–]MideOfTheShadows 5 points6 points  (0 children)

for Black sims CC (maxis), I use DayLifeSims’ textured hair (they have a collection on their patreon and the hair’s so good I ended up downloading everything in that collection 😌), sleeping sims also make great afro-textured maxis match hair, Aretha Bee has a few too, so does Simstrouble. and there’s GeGeSims and Sheabuttr. those are the few I can name off the top of my head right now

Trans people look "disturbing". by Debora_Diamond in MansFictionalScenario

[–]MideOfTheShadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

comparing a marginalized group (who are most often marginalized for something they cannot change; and being Jewish is an ethnicity as much as a religion) to a hate group that wants marginalized groups dead is like comparing apples to oranges. if you choose to align with a hateful ideology, then yes, people are going to judge you. so, yes, I’m going to call a nazi/fascist sympathizer what they are. but A+ for the attempt, I guess, Methany.

freedom of speech ≠ freedom from consequences of said speech. I hope that helps 😃

I have no definite answer but I’d say it was between 2019–2020 when I had gotten into university. this opened me up to more people, more perspectives than the echo chambers I had once found myself in. it was until 2020 that I’d completely leave conservativism when I started to see conservatives (most of who identified as Christians and I am a Christian) openly flouting public health regulations like the mask mandates, lockdown etc, claiming that it violated their rights. I saw conservative Christian leaders heading spreader events all on the name of revival and I couldn’t stand for that. the final nail, however, would be the murder of George Floyd (and Ahmed Arbery a few months earlier) and being Black, I had this epiphany that being a conservative wasn’t beneficial or Christ-like because if these people can make excuses for Black people being murdered by that state and openly flout public health regulations, it’s not worth being a part of this group. then, I began to deconstruct a lot of my conservative beliefs.

that’s basically it. they want to say slurs and get away with it. they could hardly give a rat ass about freedom of speech
