I thought I was insane when the frog incident happened because I could not comprehend how it was just taken as a given by that entire thread that frog was a slur.

A couple French Canadians said people insulted them by calling them "frogs" so it was clearly inappropriate to offhandedly bash noted homophobic, racist, sex creep Frenchman, David Cage, with such a rude word.

Fran's a good guy overall and responsible for making Cine D a lot less toxic than it was (credit to GonSmithe as well)

My favorite Galaxy-brain take re: capitalism/communism/whatever was the guy that argued passionately that cooking food for yourself was the result of capitalist brainwashing

His argument was that because there are people who could be getting paid to cook your food, doing it yourself was stealing their work and doing labor for free

This is why weird politics echo chamber forums like CSPAM, D&D, and GBS should be blown the gently caress up. Slowly turns posters into insane weirdos who post poo poo like this.

Also destroy Twitter, Facebook, etc. But those are bigger goals.

Some Jews choose not to write "God", or any derivation thereof, for religious reasons. Occasionally you'll see them write G-d or somesuch. The reasons usually have more to do with the sanctity of the word than the profanity.
