RIP Scotty Steele. May He Be In The Great Tailand In The Sky With All The Femboys He Can Handle.

I find bigots very interesting and when I'm looking through their "arguments" they almost always use the same tactics.

After much research, I've found that these tactics can be broken down into a few simple, easy steps for maximum brain atrophy. But why should I hoard such information to myself?

Without further ado, here's my guide to arguing like an absolute moron!

Before anything else, first decide what your topic of the day will be. Gender and/or sexuality? Racial and/or social injustice? The more complex and nuanced the subject the better! Because...

Your next step is to completely simplify any opposing arguments to a few simple words and straw man arguments. Who cares about context or varied perspectives when you can just create the thing you want to argue with?

With that decided, you will now deploy a tried and true classic used by toddlers for centuries. Using your chosen straw man, pick a word within the arguement and ask for it's definition. When it is given (by yourself of course, not by someone else) then pick a word within the definition you have just given yourself and ask for another definition. You can do this up to five or six times depending on how experienced you are in bullshittery. This tactic works especially well when arguing against trangender and/or gender nonconforming people's rights to live.

An added benefit when doing this is that much like when a young child does this with their parent, anyone who was at first willing to interact with you will grow tired of reading your post and move on. This leaves your position unchallenged.

Speaking of defending yourself, try to throw some statistics into your arguement. Including data shows that you've done your research and adds credibility to your position. Can't find the data your looking for from credible resources and studies? Not a problem. Most people who will interact with your post won't have the correct information in their back pocket ready to use.

On the rare occasion that someone takes the time to find conflicting statistics and information to prove you wrong...what a nerd. Hit them with one of these "🤓" and move the fuck on.

Lastly, you must be prepared to defend yourself from the inevitable one or two comments who disagree with you once your opinion breaches containment. You'll be on your own here since the ten or so people who liked your post won't always come to your defense. Now, nothing screams "I'm not defensive and I can totally back up my claims!" like putting "lol", "lmao", and "😂" after every insult aimed at your attacker.

Another tactic that has the same results is taking the time to write out just how much you don't care about their opinion. Trust me, this works every time and asserts your dominance over the situation.

Bonus points are given throughout all of this if you're able to weave casual (or not so casual) slurs throughout your argument. You will be talking about very serous topics, so make sure you make it crystal clear to your audience where you stand. But, and this important, do NOT let anyone take a similar tone with you. You are a blameless victim to any attacks that come your way as a result to the things you post. All you're doing is stating an opinion, right? Surely nobody's getting HURT by the things you say, do, and believe.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this post. I promise that if you follow these instructions to the letter, you too will finally have the attention you so desperatly crave. As the old saying goes: "all publicity is good publicity", and no one knows that better than the average TERF, racist, misogynist, and overall disgusting and worthless human being.

Shout out to my homophobic mom for buying me a necklace years ago that's colors align almost perfectly with the bi flag. It's like fate or irony or something.

Huh?! If this is true, that's amazing! Maybe if they win stuff Disney might put them back on the streaming service?

The Mysterious Benedict Society got NINE Emmy Nominations this year!!

With Tony Hale and Marta Kessler both being nominated for the first time for mbs!

So years ago I watched Once Upon a Time and had made it through season 3, so I thought I would catch up.

First of all:

I'm in love. Don't even care.

Second of all, and I'm only on episode 4 as I write this so I might be reading this wrong, but how is Mr. Gold going to swear on his son's grave that he's going to do better and still be doing sketchy shit and being secretive. I mean I get it. You can't change all at once. But he can't pick up the phone and tell someone about whatever his relationship with the Ice Queen is about. He couldn't give Emma a call and tell her about Hook's hand situation, which is playing out before my very eyes?

He didn't just promise Neal he would be better, he said he would be the hero and person Neal died believing he could be. Come on man.

Y'all...

The new set of audiobooks for Discworld just dropped, including Richard Coyle's narration for Going Postal, Making Money, and Raising Steam.

Can you guess what I'm doing right now?

We were robbed of these two having more scenes in Knight Terrors together.

I know Wesley has been through a lot and met all kinds of people, but for some reason when he mentioned knowing Batman through either time travel or alternate dimensions, I can only imagine him having met a Burt Ward type of Robin.

So instead getting "Holy dreamscape Batman!", he gets:

13-16 year old with big sword.

Man robotniks ass is dummy THICCC!

I was just going to let this rot in the bowels of my inbox, but I'm putting off an essay so...

You have truly opened my eyes to the majesty that is Robotnik. I thought that if Jim Carrey couldn't stur anything in me, then nothing could. What a fool I was.

And of course the new banner:

Thank you for sending these to me my friend.

I think my favorite part about winter break is feeling the love I have for my family slowly turn into blood-boiling rage as I'm forced to spend more time with them.

I know that I've made this joke before, but the fact that the second Doctor's hat is almost always slightly off-screen always gives me big Doug Dimmadome vibes.

But to be fair, the actual length of his hat is also too funny for me to take seriously anyway.
