    Is this going to be another 9 hour introspective about her mixed feelings on her own journey of self discovery or whatever the fuck? Because I am 9000% done with Contrapoints videos retreading her own identity. Be it political, sexual, gender, or whatever.









  • What kind of molly coddling nonsense is this. YES there is a reason to insult their traditions, of course there is. And it is precisely BECAUSE it offends. It is important in a free society to be able to challenge ideas about what is held as unchallangeable. And the deification and idolatry of Muhammad by Muslims is one of those ideas that are open to challenge, and the individual hurt feelings of Muslims surrounding that fact is of no more importance than the screeches of Christians when Piss Christ is exhibited or when Life Of Brian was released. Especially because the importance of challenging the sacrosanct nature of Muhammad is highlighted whenever it is done. Kurt Westergaard may be a dick, but he's a dick whose family lives in fear and whose grandchildren are hunted in their own homes by literal axe wielding psychopaths.

    And I don't know whether it is appropriate to teach kids in middle school about transgressive art and the nature of blasphemy, but I sure as shit know that the punishment for badly planning a curriculum shouldn't be fucking murder.

    Edit:

    There’s a million other ways to talk about the freedom of speech or offensive material without bringing in materials that have gotten people killed before

    None of the muslim kids in attendance were in danger because their teacher showed them a work of blasphemy. The only one sticking their neck out is the one exhibiting the work, and it is very disingenous to imply that the teacher is endangering his students. Further, the idea of offensive material is best expressed with something that is actually offensive.

    You're not perpetually online enough to remember weird subreddit drama minutia? What's wrong with you? But, yeah, that is essentially it. Guccibananabricks and crab boy were both chapo regulars who kept getting dunked on/banned for their anti idpol stances.

    It was made because crab and guccibananabricks were called stupid once too many times in the main chapo sub, so they made their own sub where nobody would call them stupid, then invited over a bunch of /r/drama regulars who made daily threads about "LOOK WHAT THE DUMB CHAPOTARDS POSTED TODAY". It was a sub born entirely from butthurt


  • I'm not really a fan of when they turn tales of predators into fun little best-friend-y things, and this in general does not look like my bag. The "What if tihs monsternwas fun instead of scary" thing is a subversion that requires a familiarity with the subject to be enjoyed fully, that I simply do not have. I might look into Carmilla though, the summary sounds pretty cool. Even if I feel like the first two lines of the wikipedia entry spoiled it.
