  • Landry later drafted a “Protecting Innocence” report on libraries and supported legislation to restrict minors’ access to certain library materials

    Dude read the Bible and tell me if it’d allowed in this context. I say it wouldn’t. As someone with a religious background - mildly so, as I am a lazy fuck - I know that book has depictions that could at least have an impact on a kid’s mind. The book they’d be banning and the librarians they’d threaten with jail time (up to 2 years, according to one of the drafts) are probably offering much milder content than that.

    Secondly: banned books have a charm that can’t be compared. People like to read banned books, especiallu young readers. Minf your actions anyone, we are not in charge of other’s literary choices.

    Edit:

    Lunsford described the American Library Association as a “Marxist” organization out to fundamentally change U.S. society.

    Do the even know what that term means, geese study some more please.



  • People who use biology as an excuse to hate on people have no grasp on how biology even works. You should know that gender disphoria, gender transitions and other genders as well come in fact with small noticeable differences, such as the way the brain is wired and even the many mechanisms inside your body. Unfortunately, such differences are not noticeable right off the bat. But they exist. Also FFS, she could have just enjoyed her harry potter money, maybe she could go silent after the first tweet but come on! There’se no reason to go any further, no reason. She now dwells with the likes of her conservative friends - She’s no victim. There’s more money there than many of us could see in a lifetime. She actually has too much -



  • Fair point. It is more about the psychology of the issue rather than the source material itself. The skull is as is. It was not reworked and processed and it stands as a natural and dark remainder of a common fate. The othet is a purposefully crafted ornament in a not natural context, which says more about the mind of the original crafter than a fact of nature.

    That said, why remove it now. If amything that was even more of a curiosity, albeit a morbid one. I would have kept it. I am aware of legends and stories of such cruel local lords of the middle ages that they had a fabled chest decorated with human skin. Just a legend. But that speak of the reputation of a long gone family, doesn’t it?



  • I noticed since at least a couple of years a pervasive and ever more widespread campaign against representation and lgbtq rights, and the early phase passed through apparently meaningless but popular thing like pop culture and gaming, including the social media sphere at large.

    But this time, they’re aiming for a much larger political action, and their tools aren’t the ones of entertainment media but those of traditional values. They appeal to things they know for being popular and still largely followed, like religions and whatever moves around it.

    The trend is clearly there, before our very eyes, and yet we still don’t take action. I don’t know if I have such a strong identity, you know, and for this exact reason I don’t want to see this much people suffer. On top of a political crisis this is an empathy one too, IMHO.
