I keep trying to convince her to start doing Hentai and Furry commissions to make some dough, but she refuses.

Man it's a bummer but between the 24 hour news channels and reading the weird Era takes ("almost like 9/11 for me") I'm already burnt on this. Shit burns ( or alternatively get bombed, destroyed in earthquakes, etc...) all the time in human history. It's a shame for the lost works of art but we'll endure and rebuilt. That's what we do as a species.

It's definitely on a smaller scale, but the feeling I have is somewhat reminiscent of the morning of 9/11 for me.

I’ve never punched anyone and even gotten in a fight in my 40 years on this planet. But here I am, eating in my favorite Indian joint where I see a guy and his family enjoying the delicious tandoori chicken. As I walk by I see he’s wearing a shirt that says “Trump 2020, Make liberals cry again.” It was at this point that had to tell myself not to lay hands on him. I was actually considering the consequences!I don’t know what came over me. Whatever it is, it’s not good. Has anyone else had this reaction to a trump supporter IRL?

Alright Liam Neeson
I’m not even all that to the left. I’m pretty much a new Dem/blue dog
Kind of surprising to hear he was at an Indian restaurant.
I'm pretty sure that someone in the kitchen would have seen his t shirt and added a little "special sauce"
So he can claim self defense when he beats your ass? And what does this accomplish?
I getcha. Saw a dude with a Confederate flag on at the grocery store right after election day 2016 and had about the same reaction.It only gets you so far to try to pull off the visible leaves or branches from the deep-rooted weeds. They usually grow right back.

Some good perspective. The Roman Empire didn't exist until 900 years ago. Pretty sure the natives knew they existed. Flat-earthers most likely weren't an actual thing in the European middle ages.
Casual sexism and homophobia is basically the price you have to pay for showing any interest in Japanese media.It's tiresome, but most people seem not to care (we still get daily posts gushing about Persona 5, which is downright hateful trash).
Might be a controversial stance, but I really appreciate it when localizers have the opportunity to tone down specific homophobic elements to something more culturally sensitive.
nothing controversial about that. that's literally what localization is.
Controversial to shitlords, I should have specified
I feel like what some people may think of as a "purity test", what it really is a lot of the time is a matter of accountability. For a long time, for most of the history of this country including the present day, it has been hard to hold people accountable for their actions or words. With the rise of the internet and social media, we are now more easily able to discuss both among ourselves and directly to the people in power or public figures when something is happening that is harmful. Generally, I believe that is a good thing and is one step to helping us progress as a society, and sometimes I feel like the backlash to "purity tests" are from people who are afraid of that, due to the likelihood of them being on the "wrong end" of the "mob".

Purity tests are only a pejorative if they're being used against a politician you like or prefer.I don't think they're a bad thing.

Catherine is a fun ass game. If you're gonna hate because it's transphobic go play tetris and fuck off.
This thread is not supposed to be a battleground between factions of the community. If you want to have an extended conversation about something that relates to the 2020 Democratic Primary, that's fine. But the continued swatting back and forth needs to end now. Get back on topic

No, you moron, what people think of as a "purity test" is the inability of twats like you to look beyond your nose and realize what you think is right and what someone else thinks is right may differ, and you have to get along anyway to accomplish a goal. What people think of as a "purity test" is your obsession with nitpicking any deviation from the orthodoxy and blowing it up as some evil transgression. What people think of as a "purity test" is your complete disinterest in forgiveness for anything, and your disgusting desire to punish the infidels and ruin their lives, just to scare anyone else who may dare stick a toe out of the circle back into compliance.
