Richard Dorkins doesn't look well. Wow...77 years old. And Googling Richard Dorkins works.

Isn't the Muslim call to prayer like a sort of nice song, not a dude barking words into a megaphone? It's like if a church played one choir song through speakers. Oh no!

I think they mean that angry nerd dudes probably know and care about She-Ra because of her relation to He-Man or appearances on his show, not necessarily because they were fans of her show.

Everyone watched She-Ra because Hordak was a cool villain but more importantly you watched every cartoon that was on.

kirbysuperstar posted:My favourite "Why was I banned" was the classic "Your son was banned for exposing himself on camera in Uno". According to friends who used to do customer service for XBOX, this was depressingly common because UNO was the only game with a camera function (or one of very few) so it became an ad hoc Chat Roulette. They also told me about a several month period where kids kept calling in with the line “my dick is stuck in the disk drawer” and they’d have to calmly direct them to hardware assistance instead of hanging up.

 As you may know, government inspectors found last week that Price owes the government about $350k for improper travel expenses, so without getting into it deeply, baseballcrank was wrong. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1019067731302379520 Here's Why I'm Not Owned and Actually, This is Funny to Me 1/14 This guy is a notorious conservative moron pundit on Twitter, you may recognize his avatar from Chapo stuff because he's a legendary dipshit, sort of the exemplar of brain dead, other-sidesism, anti-anti-(but really pro-) Trump online commentariat so that just the image of him is shorthand for "god-tier idiot nuclear take" zoux has a new favorite as of 14:46 on Jul 17, 2018 |

Much as I like change ringing for its weird compulsive must-play-every-possible-permutation thing I have to say the call to prayer is a much prettier sound. In short: Bollocks to Dorkins.

She-Ra was the better cartoon to me as a kid, but some dudes I grew up with didn't care for it because it was "for girls." Also Skeletor is the best Masters of the Universe villain because of how loving absurd he is. He's a wizard skeleton, but despite this he still has huge muscles and a six-pack to appeal to that 80's cartoon aesthetic.

I like the Dolph Lundgren movie version of Skeletor, he's basically Palpatine. And then he goes Super Saiyan at the end.

All of this talk about Dorkins reminds me of one of my favorite tweets of all time that I probably posted in this thread before: https://twitter.com/RichardDawkins/status/336048706853937152  Nothing is more frightening than someone wearing vinyl armor and holding a plastic sword.

It is so ridiculous that grown men are bitching about a cartoon for children depicting the protagonist as a fellow child instead of a sexy pinup.

Netflix is clearly AFRAID of making She-Ra something I can jack it to while I watch. The Netflix oligarchy is refusing to let me be sexually attracted to a cartoon character, and that is NOT OK!Puppy Time posted:Are people quizzing these fake geek guys about She-Ra?

Who care's about She-Ra anyway I'm still waiting for Sherlock Holmes in the Bravestarr Time-line or whatever the gently caress it would've been called.AlbieQuirky posted:It is so ridiculous that grown men are bitching about a cartoon for children depicting the protagonist as a fellow child instead of a sexy pinup. I pretty much hated most fiction with children as the protagonists when I was a child. Maybe they're written better nowadays? Who knows  e: I had no term for it back then but in hind-sight I think it was because most of them were such huge "Mary Sues".

I'm starting to get the feeling that these people don't actually care about She-Ra and are just looking for a jumping off point to complain about what they think feminism is. "WHEN WILL THIS DISGRACING OF EVERYTHING PURE IN OUR HISTORY END?" cries a perfectly rational man complaining about a single cartoon.
