            She was actually the result of Kat and Ana from Warioware (little known fact but they’re proud FLDS members smh) performing a fusion dance prohibited by the mainline church

            Totally a 7th kids name if I have ever seen one. Usually the parents have given up at that stage and are just letting the kids raise the other kids too.

              I think it was scientifically concluded that 5-7 kids were the max before the parents neglected the kids. I can confirm this because in CK3, I wouldn’t even remember that I had 23 kids and most of them grow up to be insignificant or drunks or criminals

                I could see 5-7 being the limit. Most of the families around when I grew up were living on church food. My family did and it was me and 4 siblings with dual income from our parents. Even in the rural areas like ours where it was mostly pig and corn farms they were told to have more kids by the bishop.

                It never happened to my family but my Mom's sister had 9 kids. Her 1st and 2nd turned around and had that many as well I think too. They all live out in the woods of Missouruh in houses they built themselves. Real frontier Mormons if you catch my drift. That part of the family was always squirrelly tho. Go back far enough and the family tree is more like a family bush.

            Several are real names, if very weird to choose for a kid and/or slightly misspelled. Like Seneca, Samara (which is both a name and a city/region of Russia), I've personally known a Lyra (second worst person I've ever known, and the brainwormed truscum former admin of a certain notable trans discord server), and Elsey is definitely a historically attested name (even if spelling it "Elsie" is more common AFAIK). "Roxi" seems to be a cliched stripper name turning into an actual name. Apparently "Rodi" is just an Italian name, derived from the island of Rhodes.

            I think most of them start with 1990s names like Ashley and Kaylee and mash-up the names over and over again until they're sufficiently Mormon. And then there's Seneca (presumably after the Roman) and Oaklee (presumably after the sunglasses)

        Yea the article is a rather good one considering the publication. You can easily read it as a hardliner BYU Mormon student tut tutting tho. In their spare time she probably tries to figure out if their roommate is sneaking her boyfriend into their shared dorm room. Which is a reportable offense at the school that owns that site.

        Generally speaking, your odds of fucking go way up if you just hang out with lots of other co-eds and act normal.

        Whether the group you're hanging out with are sports nerds or labor activists or far-right Catholic dogmatists, just socializing regularly and being normal will inevitably mean hanging out with single people you consider attractive. After that, its just a matter of hanging out with those people individually and occasionally flirting to express interest. Lots of other people are just as horny as you are.

    This has got to be my new favorite genre of reactionary memery. They’re trying to do the whole “uphold traditional lifestyles and value” schtick but can’t help telling on themselves that they think it’s going to mean they can fuck women who look like the porn stars they wank to.

      I'm more just into them ping-ponging off other religious propaganda and having to rush in with lame "Uh actually that's not the exact strain of patriarchal religious trope I was going for! I'm not a Mormon! I'm not a Muslim! I'm not an Orthodox Jew! I just like 20 year old white people who fuck, I swear!"

        There is something entertaining about them not being motivated enough to photoshop out the temple, or pay an artist to make an original, or stick the parameters into an AI art program to spit out a Catholic or Protestant equivalent.

          I mean, I'm dubious of the claim that its AI art at all. Could easily just be cribbed from some 80s-era "Where Do Babies Come From?" children's explainer produced by the Mormon Church.

            Agreed, looks like earnest Mormon propaganda photoshopped to give her huge knockers (which would explain why his right hand looks so off). What I meant was, if the Mormon connotations bothered them they could’ve used AI to make something similar.

          on a trip to check out some National Parks, we stopped in SLC. i've been to the Temple Square and wandered around the Momo temple. the vibes are off the charts. i went across the street to buy some stamps from a "Bookstore" and the closest thing i've experienced to it is like Disney World type shit (with how manicured and curated everything is), except the workers BELIEVE Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck is going to walk around the corner at any second and give them all eternal life + omnipotence so long as they act nice and keep faith for the mouse in their hearts.

          if anyone ever gets the chance to go inside the Momo Tabernacle, that is the supreme "this is why you need to shut down cults early on" experience. of course, i've never been inside the temple or the inner sanctum obviously. i'm sure that's jacked, but the Tabernacle is like this giant acoustically perfect room where the massive choir does it's thing around this gigantic pipe organ. it literally feels like the whole thing is going to launch into space with you inside it and you'll have to listen to insane choral music delivered by fake plastic smiling faces for eternity as this giant ellipse hurtles into an infinite darkness.

          a uniquely american experience not to be missed.

        Maybe. Not a particularly effective one. People don't embrace religious dogma because they think its logically correct, particularly in heavily theocratic societies. They follow it because there are material reasons for them to do so and unless you can change that any edgy, "Wheres your god now!?" shit isn't going to accomplish much

    What’s particularly funny about posts like these is that it often comes from dudes who are in their 20s or 30s but still single. They don’t have children, girlfriends, or wives but are giving out family advice.

    They are also likely incels and despise white women and fetishize Asian women, but again, they’re nowhere near the family stage so it’s just a dude larping as a trad nationalist father figure but is probably barely older than a high school senior
