BiggerBoat posted:Still no reason to gently caress with it. Also, THREE? As much as we all love semantics, all pit-vipers have a very similar head shape, and if you see that you know not to grab them, and that goes for rattlesnakes, copperheads, and cottonmouths. Water moccasins are cottonmouths. Coral snakes are also extremely recognizable. Even if you forget the rhyme to tell it apart from a king snake, you know drat well to steer clear of a red, yellow, and black snake.

also coral snakes live underground and inside rotting logs, it'd be hard to find one if you were looking for it. I've lived in Texas my entire 27 years and have seen precisely one. they have tiny mouths and rear fangs, so you basically have to let them chew on your finger to be envenomed. All you really have to worry about are rattlesnakes, copperheads, and water moccasins, which as the above poster said have obvious venom glands. Also, water moccasins stink and are much fatter and more stub tailed than regular water snakes. The more you know If you want some schadenfreude look up Steve Irwin's southern us episode and watch him be super scared of a water moccasin

Snowglobe of Doom posted:... which is exactly the worst outcome because the two sides entrenched in this culture war will go "AHA! We told you so!

Still, having it be just completely terrible would be bad too, because Hollywood might overreact and decide it bombed because of the culture war and they have to kow-tow to the MRAs for awhile or something.

In case anyone thinks that's an exaggeration, the Sony email leaks showed studio execs arguing that superhero movies starring women can't work and citing films like Supergirl as proof even though that film is 30 years old.
