No Birth Certificate? Good luck to your child in 16 years when they are trying to get a driver's license. Or a Passport. Or register to vote.
Congratulations on your child not being "State Property" (whatever that means) but unless you are planning on living in a commune forever they are going to have to participate in society eventually. I'm sure your kid will be grateful you made a lot of future paperwork issues harder for them for your weirdo beliefs.

With no vaccines they'll probably be thankful just to reach 16.

Well let's just say she's lucky that other people's parents aren't idiots and have vaccinated them so that she might benefit from herd immunity.

"look my kid isn't getting sick!" yeah well maybe that's because reasonable and responsive adults vaccinated their kids and prevented spread of diseases you useless poo poo bag.

I'm more worried about "placenta still attached". Is that going to be the next call to action? After no more circumcision at birth, no more cutting umbilical cords? God meant all of us to be able to sling our friendly placentas over our shoulders?

They are ephebphiles man. As early as 12 females develop secondary sexual features like pubic hair and breasts. Girls become women. And furthermore it isn't creepy because <insert whatever super creepy justification is em vogue right now>.

No, there's just an extreme amount of overlap between people who obsess over high school and fanfiction/dumb poo poo on social media or whatever. It's more of a personality flaw than anything else (who gives a poo poo about high school anymore after 5 years out?).

I made the mistake of looking this up, and it apparently a thing. It's called a lotus birth, and they cart the placenta around with the baby until it falls off because it ~natural~. A cursory GIS showed me some lovely picture of hunks of meat covered in rose petals and crystals.

I've developed a pretty high tolerance to grossness by now, but for some reason this really bothers me.

Most natural thing would be to have the mother gnaw off the umbilical cord and then immediately flee the delivery room as to avoid attracting predators.

Yes, but it's still attached to the baby via umbilical cord. I guess instead of cutting the cord like a normal person, these people are waiting for it to shrivel up and fall off or something.

Also a lot of animu stuff, same situation. I assume the majority of it is just fans not maturing much and overidentifying with YA stuff, rather than growing out of it and moving on to more age-appropro fiction. It's still weird and sometimes creepy, but more in the "foam video" sense than the "needs to stay away from school zones" sense. Calling it "pedophilia" seems a little extreme, at least, in the same way that calling a kiss without consent "rape" would be- both pretty bad things, but not at the same level.

Which doesn't even make sense from a "natural" standpoint cause most mammal mothers just eat both the placenta and the cord soon after birth

Honestly, I think it has more to do with the fact that, for a very large portion of the population (in either America or Japan), high school is the last time of their life they enjoyed. I mean, imagine you're some American whose post-high school life consisted of going to community college and then working at Best Buy. It isn't that strange for such a person to look back on high school fondly.

While college can also fit this role (being the last enjoyable time in a person's life), it lacks the structure and shared experience (in the sense that, for example, someone who works part time and commutes would have a completely different experience than someone who lives in dorms and doesn't need to work) that high school does.

I think you nailed it with the shared life experience thing, but I don't think the kinds of people who get lost in anime and weird YA fandoms are the ones looking back fondly on high school. If anything, it seems like wish fulfilment.

So I added a co-worker on facebook because he's moving out of state and I thought it would be nice to get updates. But then this popped up. Like, we all know he's gay, but until now it's just been statuses about church and god and Britney Spears. I don't think he knows the way to hide likes, or at least keep them out of everyone's feed.

Yeah the problem with the West's interpretation of what ISIS is fundamentally about, is that they write it off as not being really religious, when the opposite is true. They are so absolutely mind fuckingly religious it's unreal. It's like if an offshoot of Christianity decided to do a crusade. It's legitimate, but not representative of modern Islam.

ISIS is a totalitarian state obsessed with overwhelming displays of power and brutality that draws upon a mythical version of Islamic history that never actually existed, in a similar way to how Nazism and Italian fascism drew on mythic versions of Germany and Italy's history. They're fascists with a thin coating of Islam over it.

That's the whole idea of them though. Their entire purpose is to return to the Islamic Golden Age of the 7th Century. They deem anything after that to be un-islamic. They believe that after Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, there will only be three more caliphs as prescribed in Sunni Islam. Then, a coalition of 80 crusader armies will meet the Muslims on the hills near the town of Dabiq in Syria and battle them, resulting in the victory of Islam and a worldwide Islamic caliphate. That's their entire worldview.
Obviously this isn't representative of modern Islam at all since they consider every Muslim who doesn't follow a Salafist doctrine of Sunni Islam to be apostates, and they've killed more Muslims than any other religious group.
