Samuel Clemens posted:Of all Tinsley cartoons, I didn't expect his milquetoast Christmas one to elicit such strong reactions. Well, yeah, this is generally the case for any of his cartoons that aren't empty-headed political nonsense. Instead of "LIBERALS LIBERALS", he mentioned something more interesting than a Tinsley cartoon, I can't begin to list how many things that is. He could start a derail by making a cartoon about white bread versus brown bread, and that's without people calling it a metaphor for racism (Every Tinsley is somehow a metaphor for racism).

I remember one time he made a cartoon that was like "I personally dislike IPAs and therefore everyone who 'pretends' to like them is a big dumb phony hipster jerkface" and it set off a derail of people who agreed with him, vs people who like IPAs / people who don't like them but believe it is possible to actually like them e: oh and the time that both Tinsley and some other posters didn't get why "house-made" and "homemade" are different things

I imagine it also has to do with the fact that the particular C.S. Lewis quote is one used by a lot of fundamentalist Christians as INCONTROVERTIBLE PROOF OF GOD and that probably irks a lot of nonbelievers or more progressive believers, and that after hearing that stuff for so long it gets easy to be annoyed by it.

I figure most people who'd find it too complicated or annoying would just completely ignore it, given how it's only relevant in some specialized domains of linguistics and typography.

Tinsley hates it because of all the weird characters and sounds he'd have to learn that are only used in languages he hates so much that he's never even heard of them

It's probably the "international" part, because that might imply acknowledgement that there is a larger world out there that doesn't do everything the same way America does, and its adoption would therefore be  POLITICAL CORRECTNESS . It is Tinsley, after all.

I remember that scene but nothing else so I'm wondering if I ever actually read it... Anyway this is a part of Catholic dogma that allows for the heathens ignorant of Christ not to burn in hellfire when they had no opportunity to know better. If you know about Jesus and choose to believe in something else, or not believe at all then you're damned. All this Narnia talk makes me want to go back and read the Magicians again.
