How come if you say shitty things and hide behind the Bible, it's fine and totally cool because this guy is just a outlier.

But do that and hide behind say, I dunno, a frickin D&D book... And everyone wants to burn D&D books?

Because fuck you, that's why. That's the only reason they need

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No! Noooo! Fuck you!

Wanna play some D&D?

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'll get in on that. I'll bring my copy of Honor among Theives, and we can put it on in the background, if you'd like.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Sounds great to me!

Because there's a control scheme built with the Book of Vile Darkness (read Bible, not the D&D item) but not any D&D books. This on it's own wouldn't likely be enough to see D&D books burned but because there's a control scheme in play that feels threatened by anything that brings people joy 'X said something bad because D&D' is a sufficient justification in their eyes.

Saying shitty things that re-enforce common presumptions is lucrative.

I had an idea of wanting to start a cult that featured doctrine that I agreed with. I wonder if every moral philosophy enthusiast goes through a why can't I start a nice cult phase. We can't because the cult doctrine is the same, consistent hate based bullshit. It's your woes are caused by that batch of undesirables over there, and God should smite them every time.

If you want to plant community gardens and feed the hungry and enrich the impoverished and give voice to the silent, you'll lose all the people who want to yell at kids to get off their lawn.

Quicker. Easier. More seductive.
