When your public statement sounds like something a child would say when questioned why all the cookies were eaten, you may wish to rethink your life.

And some people think they’re obviously arguing in good faith, when they in-fact sound like every single other Ben Shapiro-lite debater on the Internet, and actually don’t know what a good faith argument sounds like any more, if they ever did.

I think you think you’re being fair in these discussions. You’re not. The…

Because it normalises the behavior of making such statements about an already vulnerable community.

This is what everyone saying

AFAIK it’s been shown that video games don’t cause violence. It’s also been shown that homophobic and transphobic statements do at least make life harder for people in the LGBTQIA community. So seems your comparison is flawed.

Personally, I trust straight cis middle-aged white men on the internet, the only group of people calm and rational enough to see that everyone else is always overreacting all the time.

Let’s just skip all the nonsense and just use the Handy Dandy Dino Ironbody Translator:

For 10 or 15 years I’ve been lurking a few choice conservative websites in my daily rotation to keep tabs on what they are up to. In the last 48 hours I’ve seen tons of regulars—who never uttered this phrase before —high-fiving each other over the misery of “alphabet people” and how Dave is owning the libs.

The opposite position to a minority group having their human rights respected is very much bigotry.

Person not affected in any way by the real life dangers of transphobia just doesn't understand why anti-trans talk from a popular public figure could do any harm

Thank you random cis person telling trans people that their opinions aren’t valid...

Can’t believe there’s zero mention of the new show Sandman, also based on a comic written by Vaughan. Just absolutely sloppy writing.

And if he’d looked at the very last words he’d know the publication date of the next issue.

Vaughan has nothing to do with Invincible. He did co-create a comic that recently became a TV show, but I’m not gonna do all the work for you, Hughes.

Lee Pace shouting the fat maths guy TO DEATH was the best part and should be the whole show.

This seems like a common problme with giant sweeping scifi epics. Those stories always fall into the trap because the audience needs to connect with recognizable characters and settings. When you’re dealing with timespans of thousands of years and century-long time jumps, settings and characters change rapidly and…

I’ve always contrasted Asimov with C. S. Lewis. You can see in his prose that he was a walker. His descriptions of things are as if he was seeing them from afar, and then by decrees until he stood in front of it. His narrative is such that one thing causes another, and flows into another.

What “conservative values” are being demonized here? LGBTQ conversion therapy is a conservative value? Nobody’s mad because he wants low taxes.

I think the point is that as long as people like Lauren Boebert, Josh Hawley, Margery Taylor-Green, Ted Cruz, Jim Jordan and Mitch McConnell keep getting elected, and you keep voting for the party that literally tried to overthrow a legitimate election, you’re part of that party. Until and unless the collective ‘right…
