That.s all it takes to make a show conservative. Don't forget anti-environmentalism! Happy Tree Friends show animals getting killed, so it's not liberal, and therefore it's conservative.

So, I wondered if there was a conservative or liberal video game list, but apparently video games are universally evil, so instead I went trawling through Category: Videogames. Here are some excerpts http://www.conservapedia.com/GamerGate is a treasure trove. quote:GamerGate is a consumer revolt by players of video games. The movement originated in August 2014 and at first focused on investigating the ethics of video game journalists, including accusations that developers used personal relationships with journalists to gain favorable reviews and industry awards. The journalists responded by accusing the gamers of misogyny and harassment. This tactic successfully distracted attention from the issue of journalistic corruption. In particular, many gamers were outraged by a group of articles published on August 28 that proclaimed that "gamers are dead." These articles urged the industry to use politically correct themes and recruit more female and transgendered gamers. An episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit that aired in February depicted a fictionalized version of the affair based on the views of the journalist involved. In the episode, gamers are driven to misogyny and violence by the games they play. League of Legends quote:League of legends is a MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) game. It is currently the most played game in the world.[1] Many conservatives have an obvious skepticism on the intentions of the creators, RIOT games, accusing them of spreading atheist ideals by mocking Satan and other religious figures. Spore quote:There is an argument to be made that Spore supports evolution. Indeed, the objective of the game is to evolve your creature in such a way that it dominates the world. However, the precise methods used to evolve in Spore contradict the atheist theory of evolution in many ways, and the evolution process in fact resembles Intelligent Design, as it is entirely possible to reach sapience with a creature that would die out according to the theory of natural selection. For some reason they have a full page dedicated to the pinball games that came packaged with windows 98. http://www.conservapedia.com/Full_Tilt!_Pinball Also, a list of FPS games, consisting entirely of the following FPS Games posted:(Due to the growth of this genre, this list will always be incomplete)

That.s all it takes to make a show conservative. Schlafly's (well the entire Religious Right's) brand of conservatism is just uncut authoritarianism. Pitilessly enjoying the horrific suffering of other beings with the excuse that due to some intellectual or moral lapse the victims brought it upon themselves is pretty much what they're all about, yeah. The only way Happy Tree Friends could be more right-wing conservative in their eyes is if the character turned to the camera and said "I deserved my horrible fate, unlike you good white Christians out there for you have no shortcomings and any problems in your own life are the fault of black people, feminists, and Jews" VitalSigns fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Nov 7, 2017 |

I can't even imagine how you end up reprogramming yourself to the point where you can't eat soy because it's liberal and you can't watch a TV show with a gay character. Also, what's their beef with environmentalism? Do they not live on planet earth? Having lived in some countries with poor environmental quality (China, Mexico) I can honestly say that the EPA is really cool.

Tiberius Thyben posted:League of Legends Martin loving Luther posted:Try as hard as you can to despise these thoughts sent by Satan. In this sort of temptation and battle, contempt is the easiest road to victory; laugh your enemy to scorn and ask to whom you are talking. By all means flee solitude, for he lies in wait most for those alone. This devil is conquered by despising and mocking him, not by resisting and arguing. Schlafly probably hates Luther for damaging church property, but even his Conservapedia article is pretty balanced by their standards (and so probably mostly copied from another source) and considers him to have deep insight.

Luther started protestantism though, liberating Christians from the yoke of the fake satanic catholic pope. Though I assume I don't actually know if Schlafly is protestant.

Georgia Peach posted:He's pretty much super Catholic I'd have thought the Catholic Church was too progressive for him. After all the Vatican is officially OK with evolution, and the current Pope has even uttered such liberal blasphemies as "gays are people too" and "climate change is real". Disappointingly, their article on Pope Francis is written in a kind of matter-of-fact way. It insists on the facts that matter to them of course, but there's not enough screeching to make it funny. I guess opposition to gay marriage and abortion is enough of a mitigating factor to make a communist environmentalist palatable.

I'd have to say it depends on the specific denomination - according to this poll, a lot of denominations tend to have an overall equal ratio of republicans to democrats. I grew up Presbyterian, and even though my immediate family's all republicans, they've never been anything but accepting of me being a godless heathen who's a socialist in all but name. I've also found that, in my opinion, evangelical branches are likely going to be a fair bit more conservative than the mainline/non-evangelical congregations.

With Alabama narrowly managing to not elect a pedophile, I figured it might be time to have another look at Conservapedia. Unsurprisingly, they are very pro Moore. As usual most of their links are to their lovely offshoot conservativenewsandviews.com. Let's have a look at source [3] http://www.conservativenewsandviews.com/2017/12/12/constitution/always-believe-the-women-really/ posted:ALWAYS BELIEVE THE WOMEN – REALLY? Yes, the two situations this person bases the whole article on, are TV shows. This feels like a new low, even for these loving hacks. Then again they live in a fantasy world anyways, so why the hell not.

In The news posted:90 Indians facing modern slavery in Britain.[1] In The news posted:UK's newest and biggest aircraft carrier springs a leak.[3] In The news posted:Conservapedia proven right, again: Dems calling on Al Franken to resign was just a stunt to set up their calls now for Donald Trump to resign.
