Doesn't have to target practicing or devout christians to be effective Christian propaganda. Most people in NA are culturally christian and nearly half believe in ghosts. I watched them recently in search of some junk-food horror and out of curiosity of its success. The first one is a blatant villification of women who get abortions and the second one is about apostasy. They specify that the spirits of people who are the cause of this harm are ones that commit sins, they're evil because they aren't christian. In both films, the solution was for the Warrens to deepen their faith or flex it to overpower the demons not through action or change but pure faith. These narratives very strongly reflect a Christian upbringing where authority must be respected at all costs and faith in inaction is more valuable than active change that may bring criticism to systems of power.

This is of course ignoring that Ed Warren was a grooming pedo pos. He and Lorraine were scammers that hated each other and are on record multiple times purposefully manipulating christian iconography and values to the benefit of their stories. The fact they're portrayed as so devout is to lend credence to their roles as heroes in these stories.

I honestly don't lmao, it's been chuds pretty much as long as I can remember

So much writing when you obviously didn't read it. I'm making fun of a chud for acting like they'd even care if a man seemed dangerous. Yes, conservative men are significantly less likely to be conscious of rape culture. No, being into socialism doesn't inocculate you from being a bad person.

You guys are so committed to delivering the redditor experience that I'm gonna ignore you now.

Edit: Rape culture depends on men not challenging the overtly harmful values and attitudes of other men. It persists exactly because men don't hold their friends accountable for their behaviour. Men are not taught to identify this behaviour effectively and are statistically unlikely to challenge it as they fear social ostracization (especially if they subscribe to hegemonic masculinity willingly) Want to make this clear in case there is one person on here who isn't a smug incel because of my nagging sense of responsibility in the misinformation cesspit this sub obviously is.

Have you ever watched them? They're straight up Christian propaganda. It isn't surprising they've done well.

Except reddit has also gotten more fascist in the past year because of bots and emboldened chuds.

Yeah it is a shame that this alternative to reddit seems to have attracted a lot of the dudes who made that site so obnoxious.

Guy: talks about how unproblematic he and his buddies are.

Me: Checks inside.

It's all him puffing himself up about shit he doesn't know about and bitching about the woke left.

I'm sure you're very good at detecting dangerous men in your family and friend group.

Wow so comment sections here are just men patting each other on the back eh

Your victim complex is massive my guy. The reason people shit on you for saying this is because the act of saying it implies it needs to be said. You don't even read your criticism but you assume it isn't constructive because you imagine it isn't.

Once again because obviously you don't like reading: It does not fucking matter if most men aren't rapists when overwhelmingly most rapists are men and most men do not challenge rape culture. That does make most men dangerous for women. Reconcile that with your experiences.

Right now, you are an example of how men make themselves a problem by not even considering they're wrong because they're insecure about being a man. Nobody is fucking saying men don't get victimized, they are correctly identifying that nearly 100% of cases of sexual violence is directed at women and the vast majority of men are complacent in a culture that perpetuates that violence. Making it about you because you don't like the association of manhood with sexual violence is in fact detrimental to discourses that seek to acknowledge sexual violence at all.

You DENSE mother fucker.

tldr

May update made my pc bluescreen and stop detecting RAM. I rebooted my bios and was searching for a new mobo before rolling back updates because of how insane it seemed that an update could fuck up that badly. I fucking hate US tech.

This is why you can't argue on their terms. They don't care about what makes sense, they just want to maximize value of your sickness and death

You guys hate it when people can read you beyond your control.

Edit: people can see who you are even if you don't want them to. Many of you are too uncritical about your values to hide them so you say them plain without even realizing.

Liberalism is penetrated by capitalism? Brother, the call is coming from inside the house like what is he saying? That the NDP has gradually ceded to liberalism is an example of why cooperating with them is a short-term solution that should be directed at immediate concerns, not a path to systemic change.

They're trying to control anti-US as Canadian patriotism. I avoided giving them money before it was cool..

Oh no, a potential feminist sex-activist saw the meanie queer online and will no longer assassinate Donald Trump. Why did I have to be such a meanie oooh the hubris and righteous fury!!

Edit: lookit that i got to make the joke. Seriously though, this makes men sound more fragile than I ever presented them.

Very interesting to learn that the reddit alternative that attracts tech-users/-career workers also happens to express insecure masculinity openly on this version of a feminist subreddit.

Now THAT seems satirical, only a fool would think internet arguments aren't productive..

Every woman I've met. Statistically the majority of women have experienced gender based and sexual violence and that rate increases depending on class, race, gender, sexuality. It does scare men to realize that they can be labeled a sexual predator for groping when they were drunk or jokes about rape.

Username suggests this is satirical but comment history is inconsistent with that theme.

Just in case: "Alienating" people who are already not interested enough to change isn't a loss. You don't focus on reaching those people, you make them too uncomfortable to be vocal. It's why eco activists don't give a shit if a boomer is mad about them blocking traffic, their goal is to make sure the boomer can't drive home in comfort. Comfortable people are the lifeblood of this system.

The rest I don't think people will care about enough to respond to like, yeah conservative and liberal men are caged by individualism we all know that already and they never shut up about it.

Edit: i regret not making a joke about the one guy who was about to become a feminist sex-activist and assassinate Donald Trump but saw the meanie queer online say that men need to be better and then he just gave it all up and signed up for rape school.
