(Going by the replies and qrts, it seems like there's a lot of people who don't know that Intactivists are A Thing. Admittedly I only know because I saw a college friend go down a facebook radicalization rabbit hole on this exact cause; not the worst direction for that to go, but still.)

honestly surprised it took this long for the Foreskin Activism movement to get a word in with this administration

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

Man, Precure is consistently such a beautiful series. I'm always down for lessons about the Power of Friendship, but seeing a series spread messages of forgiveness, acceptance of others, self-love, and more be met with such success really does warm the small part of my heart that has yet to rot.

For the longest time I was genuinely disappointed by the "let's kill Literal Nazis games" because it was such a meaningless nothing target. A flimsy cardboard cartoon evil in contemporary context that you could actually do violence to in lieu of anything real and present....

It’s kind of crazy that Nazis and the KKK have recently become controversial bad guys because a bunch of bitter online dorks assumed it was about them

Ubisoft canceled an ‘ASSASSINS CREED’ game set in the post-Civil War era

• Featured a Black Assassin who was formerly a slave

• Players would fight the emerging KKK

• Leadership canceled it after concerns with U.S. political climate & Yasuke backlash

"There's something different about the subtitles this season. Namely, they're all ass now."

Isn't the problem that they're not .ass now?

We really hit on something with the 12 year old theory of governance because that’s really the entire political project. It’s being 12 years old and not even normal 12 year olds but real pieces of shit 12 year olds

Reminded of the 1984 amateur animation "Owa Farmer Combine", produced by Akita University's animation studies group. Agricultural punning on Dunbine's name just as relevant today as it was 40+ years ago.

You know what? Screw this site! I’m going to make my OWN social media. We’re going to go back to good old forums! To fund it and ensure that people will act right around each other, I’ll set an entry fee of $10. And because it’s gonna be more sex positive than this site, we’ll call ourselves Goo—
