Sadly, I have seen this sort of thing play out in real life, I had a friend in college that was escaping an environment where that thing more-or-less happened over Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction, of all things. (And not in a well-intentioned "Well this is kinda unusual" way, but in the "there shall be no whore that enters the Kingdom of Heaven" way.) Of course, odds are overwhelmingly that she's just lying for extremely cynical reasons, but there exists some benefit of the doubt. Never underestimate the power of religious trauma!

Was laughing my rear end off at the RWM spin on Hunter Biden being willing to testify but being denied by GOP investigators. In what world does a prosecutor not want to get a defendant on the witness stand under oath? Further, what defense attorney ever really wants their client to get into that similar situation? But, no, see, this is actually good because if they swear Hunter in and bombard him with everything they've got when he's sworn to tell the truth under the threat of perjury, it allows the democrats to somehow "control the narrative" and would give MSNBC and CNN to run selectively edited clips that would score points for the far left liberal democrat Nah, we'd rather just feed the "evidence" we have through the proper RWM channels and let radio hosts offer it because a court of law is too biased and any judge who was appointed by anyone to the left of Mussolini is part of the deep state.

My friend swears she bought the Secret Diary of Laura Palmer at a scholastic book fair, not knowing what it was. She only had vague memories of being shocked by the contents of an unexpectedly sexual book until encountering it again in her 30s when she watched Twin Peaks for the first time,

The right wing has a strange understanding of addiction to pornography. Because they consider masturbation and sexual desire morally bad, it seems like the religious wing of the right sees any desire to view nudity or sexual acts as a sickness in need of a cure. I know that there are people who develop compulsions to view pornography, blow up their marriages and lose their jobs etc because they can’t stop thinking about jerking off, but the language of porn addiction seems to have a particular currency with conservative American Christians where it stands in for sexual desire of any kind.

Yeah I've heard Evangelicals mention that they consider the threshold for "pornography addiction" to be if a person looks at it once a month. I suppose it's a way bigger deal for a belief system that believes that you are only allowed to look at your spouse with anything even approaching attraction, but to anyone outside of that system, it's a bit ridiculous.The Islamic Shock posted:I watched the video and it sounds like she can't believe the bullshit that's coming out of her mouth either.

The more relevant question that I've seen is why is Ron doing this? He should take a cue from Trump and Biden and realize that the only people who will enjoy watching him debate are people already voting for him, and there is absolutely no purpose in facing off against someone who isn't even running in this election.

As a former member of an evangelical denomination, I can tell you that it's exactly this. They preach against pornography regularly. Viewing it at all is a sexual sin since it means you're lusting after someone other than a (heterosexual) spouse. If they ever find out that someone has looked at pornography, they'll try their damnedest to push that person into some kind of counseling.

And you also shouldn't lust after your spouse since that might tempt you into having sex for pleasure rather than babymaking.

Trigger warning, basically everything you can think of, most of all poor quality. What's really the most offensive about the film is the lack of originality more than anything. It's not even a novel lovely concept. Very much a "Simpsons did it". The only trigger warning it really needs is bad comedy. There's a library full of straight to VHS Blockbuster Video drek indistinguishable from Lady Ballers, and at least those films will have the benefit of conventional distribution. The fact that Daily Wire stans have been pushing so hard to try to promote this film, as though it's one of the best things you could see on X.com is especially sad. Like a Columbia Records subscription to forgettable straight to video titles.

LOL Here's the trailer for that Hannity xmas movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SygK5gIyeE The recalled toy is just a generic action figure named "Silver Saturn" and there's no indication what he did to get "cancelled" but whoo boy does this look loving horrible. From what I can imagine, I assume that the actor who played Silver Saturn in the movies said something really offensive like "Merry Christmas", stood for the national anthem once or said he watches FOX News, because I doubt they'd delve too deep on the subject and make him a Trump voter (too easy) or an outright bigot (too much). Knowing these weirdos it's probably just he's a very open Christian or something and speaks about it a lot. That would tie into Christmas at least. Just this little preview really gives a real glimpse what the inside of a conservative brain looks like though. I couldn't find any other clips from it.

The Islamic Shock posted:Also if this happened IRL this guy and a lot of others would be hoarding those toys because hey it turns out that if you take a rare toy and cancel it, assholes absolutely will spike the price of said toy. If any of it happened IRL ever, it'd be like a Hulk Hogan (or someone) action figure where the actor went on some weird Pizzagate, Qanon, Jan. 6, or "rigged election" rant or was credibly accused of rape/sexual assault in a way that put the kibosh on the toy's troubling commercial potential. I just used Hulk Hogan as a random name here but really dying to know what the whole "too patriotic" backlash entails in this movie's idiotic universe where, I'm sure, arguments erupt in shopping malls because someone said "Merry Christmas" while open carrying in a Macy's store and all the liberals had a cow about it. Meaning poo poo that never happens but let's all be outraged about it anyway. Predictions on what the Silver - Said "Merry Christmas" one time too many - Stood for the anthem at a football game - Openly expressed his Christianity on a talk show - Had his property burnt down or windows broken by BLM - Defended his property/wife/kids with a firearm during a home invasion and accidentally shot someone - Did a livestream with Ben Shaprio books on his shelf - Told his kid that the child was was "born a man/woman" and argued with a doctor/shrink about it - Popped off about what a hell hole LA/California is once he moved there for his acting job - Expressed concerns about the border/Muslims/ or "those people" - Had a photo surface of his younger days in college wearing blackface or saying the n-word - Roots for the Washington Redskins - Hung a gigantic US Flag that would black out the sun in his HOA neighborhood - Hunts and livestreams it - Was seen at a Trump rally once - Made an offensive joke on Twitter - Was asked to take down his Nativity scene decorations I mean...the possibilities here are pretty endless and I was surprised how easy it was to come up with poo poo but it's gotta be option "A", right? Or something to do with The War on Christmas so maybe that last one since, you know, it's a Christmas movie with that really clever title, Jingle Smells. Maybe "smells" enters into it somehow and he said something or another smelled bad or didn't pass a smell test? Because otherwise that's just a stupid name for what looks like an even more stupid movie. Could be something as silly as "voted Republican" or "supported the troops" one time where he used to be a liberal/democrat. I'm certain it's insane though.

Also loving lol at the idea of a character and merch being canceled because the actor said something lovely in today's IP driven hellscape that is Hollywood. They'd just recast him between movies and no one would give a poo poo A movie about a former A-list actor finding out he has less than zero ownership of the character he built a career around could be interesting, but that would get dangerously close to indicting capitalism
