#religious nutjobs

[spidermartini]

Meanwhile, there were the regular disposable dime a dozen religious crazies outside of the final KISS concert, megaphones, Jesus brochures, telling us we are all going to burn in hell for liking a fun flashy 70s band etc .....all of the normal crap.....and I said to my husband "Seriously? After ALL OF THESE YEARS, AFTER 50 FUCKING YEARS and they are STILL protesting KISS?!.......right down to the very last show?!"

And he said, "Well remember, this is just as much their last time as it is your last time"......and that hit me like a ton of bricks. That actually made me weepy. Not for those idiots, but at the realization that we have been doing this dance and filling our reapective roles for decades.

So, farewell looney religious KISS protesters. I'm sure I will see you again, outside of some other completely harnless fun that I love. I can't say I will miss you, but we had a thing going for a while there....and remember : GOD GAVE ROCK AND ROLL TO YOU.....PUT IT IN THE SOUL OF EVERYONE.

I've had a few excellent days at pride (plenty of queer sex/flirting/comradery) but also came across some assholes that insisted on using a megaphone to proclaim that Jesus finds gay sex sinful or whatever. I ended up calling them clowns, but what's the strategy here, how do y'all deal with this? In hindsight I've considered the following strategies:

Gay make-out sessions in front of them, preferably involving lots of gays (would need several gays, but this could be managed)

Telling them that every time they call it a sin I'll have gay sex

Setting up a sign of my own, recruiting people to arranging gay sex parties

Playing loud copyrighted music to drown their shit out/DMCA their shit from youtube

Like, my intuition here is just to show that we dgaf, and that we're the ones having a fucking great time, but I'm also very pragmatic in that I don't really give a shit about methods as long as they are effecting in limiting the reach/power of these fucking assholes. The context I'm in is overall queer friendly, and christians don't hold significant power. Doing something feels sensible both because it feels good, but also because there were queer kids there and they shouldn't be the ones having to deal with that bs. Any recommendations here?

There is one thing I really wish I could have told my child self, and that if people are proselytizing, it is perfectly fine to tell them "No thank you" and if they persist just say "I respect your beliefs but I do not share them and ask that you please do not force them onto me." My parents were hardly religious at all but I had peers all around me who liked to preach to me that I had to be good with God and Jesus.

jestiny being completely fucking oblivious to the cult in hl&s is so entertaining to me personally i can’t believe i didn’t exploit it sooner. it works so well with the johnjess mutual confidence they’re the one winning the 5D chess game while neither of them has noticed it’s a checker board

#i mean wildfire jessie also didn’t know about the cult in the sense that she just ignored it prior to arrest night. #she sees the cult stuff she watches the cult stuff intensify and she’s just like ‘‘typical small town religious nutjobs 🙄 annoying’’ #it’s SO fun to write her ignoring the red flags in real time

Ok so, unfortunately I have to stay with my homophobic/transphobic parents until Monday.

As yall probably know, a lot of targeted ads come from what other people look up on your wifi.

Any suggestions for shit I should search for while I'm here to flood them with targeted ads of stuff they'll be appalled by? I mean obviously sex toys and gay stuff, but any and all unhinged suggestions are welcome

#please i need them to be horrified #i want them thinking i brought demons into their house #i mean they legit would they are religious as hell #like insane tradcath nutjobs #gay #trans #transgender #non binary #nonbinary #enby #religious trauma #parents #i just got misgendered again while typing this fucking hell

The most insane thing I ever saw:

A webshop that is "closed" -as in, unusable, can't even browse- on Sunday. For religious reasons.

...

Given that this is a Dutch shop, I'm guessing fundie Christians. But like...

THE INSANITY.

#clearly they're like “why are you online you should be in church contemplating the lord” #I am really pissed because I wanted to buy something there #that is really hard to get elsewhere #but I am so not comfortable giving money to religious nutjobs #religious fundamentalism #fundie #fundie christians #dutch bible belt #what the actual fuck #im still reeling like #what the fuuuuuuuuck #disaster thoughts

'how dare you push your ideology onto other people!' screams institution whose only function is to push ideology onto other people

also like, should you even be allowed so outright say 'this goes against the national interest so we shouldn't be teaching children that' quote unquote??? just like that??

#religious nutjobs removing 'gender propaganda' from textbooks is now a thing here #i didn't even know it existed at all bc they only started even mentioning gender in textbooks last year apparently

@inkmchine asked ; don't mind him, he's just stepping through the wall and approaching his prophet. and.... promptly dropping something onto them: a small bendy plush. a gift for his devoted follower. (ink bendy for sammy)

𝐒𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐘 𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐘, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖 𝐁𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐇𝐈𝐌 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐀𝐁𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐘 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐗𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑. The soft plushie that was just dropped on his hands feeling completely foreign to him for a moment, as he processed what he just saw.

Oh... my... ink. He feels his lower lip quiver slightly as the realization starts to slowly sink in. “ For... for me?! ” He felt like a child in christmas—no, even better, he felt like a child who just found out EVERY day was christmas. His grip on the plushie tightened as he pressed his lips together, trying his damn hardest not to smile. ‘ You have to look PROFESSIONAL, Sammy, you're in front of a god. A god who complimented you. ’

Keep it the fuck together, Lawrence. “ I... I'm speechless, my lord! I... Thank you! My god, thank you! I will cherish this forever, ” There's a small, anxious but excited chuckle that escapes his lips. Aw, man.

now the mom groups are spreading that "if they find out your baby has defects they'll make you abort" crap again and lies lies lies lies

i know most families don't have pictures of their cute little triplet cousins where one was photoshopped in for the newborn photo cuz she was immediately rushed to the high risk NICU after C-section when the other two were mostly fine and then lived in the hospital for over a year after she had her feeding tubes put in at birth (we obviously all visited her constantly lol like she was never without family members)

but jfc my cousin had a major organ defect. she was missing a valve in her esophagus and it wasn't connected to her stomach. they needed to know with ultrasounds in utero so that she didn't immediately die at birth. now she's a fairly normal teenager after three surgeries and unless people either notice her scars in the summer or she tells them (or she downs like a dozen antacids after eating 10x the pineapple she's allowed lol) people can't tell

telling people that doctors will abort their babies if they get ultrasounds is EVIL and will actually kill babies that were wanted and could be alive with modern medicine

#personal #these people are living in a deranged fantasy land of JESUS #4/5 of the kids in my gen on my moms side were nicu babies including me....two of the triplets but only one was in long term #my oldest cousin whos in college now...and me (cuz i plopped out just over 6 weeks early and then stopped breathing oof) #(well i didn't plop out i was induced cuz w/o induction both my mom and i would be DEAD.... #some of these religious nutjobs want to end induction too cuz JESUS and like my mommy and i would be DEAD as #of 1995 (im supposed to be a '96er lol) we'd have both DIED) #i KNOW my family health experiences arent the norm but FUCK have empathy and realize shit can happen to you too holy fuck

I'm so glad fictional characters exist because if they didn't I probably would've converted to another religion and have been worse off for it

#I don't think you need religion to be fulfilled but I do think that MY experience with it has hardwired my brain to function around it #And maybe it's just the potential of undiagnosed neurodivergence but having something external to circle my whole life around is almost #Necessary for me to function atp #Thankfully they made sasuke in 1999 so I'd have something to obsess over with the same vigor without hurting myself 👍 #Theres also probably some sorta overlap w apostate brain and religious imagery/religious devotion ships and codependancy being my favourite #Ship dynamic but in my defence. Madohomu good #Psii.txt #Apostasy tag #Ido think we recreate the divine in fun little ways online. Tails and miku being figures people reference where some nutjob may say jesus #Also the nameless 'girl' #its probably just popular slang but functionally the same thing

courting antisemitism

so i recently decided to take a look at the latest stonetoss comics (probably because i love suffering). and while i was expecting some content on the israel palestine conflict, what i did not expect was how... standard it seemed. well, most of it at least, but i'll get to that in a second.

for context, if you don't know what stonetoss is, it's a (poorly drawn) webcomic known for having radical alt-right views - meaning it's incredibly racist, homophobic, transphobic, islamophobic, antisemitic. all that fun stuff.

so while i was expecting to see bad stuff, one of the first things i saw on the topic of israel was this:

terrible art aside, this comic is making a point that i usually see in left wing circles: that israel is pinkwashing genocide.

curious if there was more like this, i kept looking, and the comic right before that one was this:

again, this makes points that i usually see in left wing circles. that american healthcare is crazy expensive, that canada tells poor people to commit suicide, and that israel is bombing hospitals.

why does stonetoss, this well known alt-right nutjob, now seem to be bringing up left-wing talking points?

curious, i kept going deeper:

well this is... odd. clearly, stonetoss is trying to say that israel is on another level of bad, even worse than russia, iran, and north korea. i can possibly see someone on the left making the argument that the russian invasion of ukraine isn't as bad as what israel is doing in gaza, or that at least north korea isn't invading any other countries, but... iran??? the country that has a police force designed to enforce religious law, and gets away with murdering women who do not properly cover their hair? the country that props up paramilitary groups in countries all over the middle east, including lebanon, yemen, and yes, palestine?? that's completely ridiculous

but, given how much more israel is in the news nowadays than any of these other countries, i could see why someone would buy this

and now, we're starting to get to the crux of what stonetoss is trying to do. when someone sees this, they might be inclined to agree with it. they might begin to think that israel is the worst country on the planet

and that might not seem so bad at first. but the more you hate israel, especially irrationally, the more you feel allowed to dehumanize those who support it. the more you might be willing to agree with this comic, which came out two days prior to the one above

this comic says that jews, as a whole have no desire to exist with other people. it is blatantly antisemitic

i'm sure you could imagine some young leftist who sees the comics above this one and thinks, "this guy makes some good points". and then, when they get to this one, they might realize that this is antisemitism

or, they may not.

and that would start them down the road to becoming an antisemite.

this is what stonetoss and other alt-right nutjobs are hoping to achieve. to take left wing fury at israel, and direct it at jews.

we saw it with those neo-nazis at the palestine rally, and we're seeing it again here.

and if you've found yourself agreeing with what stonetoss has said so far, i would like you to see the last comic stonetoss put out before october 7th:

this horrifically racist comic is in reference to an environmental activist who was murdered by a black man in early october. this blatantly racist garbage is the kind of stuff stonetoss usually puts out.

but as soon as october 7th happened? these were his next two comics:

stonetoss completely changed the comic's tone as soon as the current crisis started. why?

to get as many people as possible to get on board with hating jews.

and i know many of you might be thinking that "well, everyone knows that stonetoss is racist garbage. nobody is going to fall for this"

except, as we saw with the neo-nazis at the rally for palestine, it's not always that obvious who the antisemites are and who is just rallying for peace. they are often a lot better at disguising it than stonetoss is.

AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF THAT

EVERYONE, no matter HOW much experience you have, can fall victim to propoganda. EVERYONE needs to be aware of what people around them are saying, and able to pick out hateful rhetoric, because even the stuff that is just kind of toeing the line of what's hateful is still putting your foot in the door

be cautious, everyone. and stomp out hate where you see it.
