I love the ones who argue sanctity of marriage are usually on their 2nd marriage or ooze with infidelity.

2 right-wingers I used to work with...

  • Person A cheated on his first wife with his now 2nd wife while she was married to his friend, and they had kids out of wedlock together

  • Person B notoriously cheated on his first wife for years.

  • Person B's current wife got divorced once for infidelity, had a kid out of wedlock with a different guy, banged her already-married boss at work, conveniently got promoted to his position when he left, screwed around with at least 1 of her subordinates while she then started sleeping with person B.

But yeah, 2 dudes blowing each other is what ruined marriage...

Folstar@lemmus.org · 27 pts · 62d (1 reply)

I like that if you start at "Sanctity of marriage", something the radical right clearly does not actually value, and work counterclockwise the terms get increasingly vague and meaningless until they completely phone it in with "Etc". What values.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 62d

So I like playing the cinnamon rolls game. Every time you see "marriage" instead read "a common law government contract that bestows rights and responsibilities and formalizes systems of inheritance and power of attorney in cases of incapacity, originally managed by churches because religions were the original governments" and the word sanctity loses all meaning by the end of a discussion with a homophobia

PhoenixDog@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 62d (4 replies)

The Oatmeal comic was still created as a reaction to an incredibly homophobic comment from an extreme right winger before he died.

So even though it's an alteration, it's still exactly how the comic was originally designed.

SO I dug a bit and the original is from a comic called Literally where he pokes fun of the word literally being used as its own antonym instead of figuratively.

Specifically he mocks a quote from some dead bigot.

I'm an old straight white guy with a pretty normie-looking family, and I know damn well that almost every LGBT+ person out there shares more of my values and gives more of a shit about my marriage than the conservative grifters out there.

And what these right wingers always conveniently forget is that their religion only tells THEM what to do, it has no impact on anyone else.

All of these “values” can remain 100% unaffected within themselves, they just want the bigotry of forcibly imposing these “values” on others.

And that’s their problem - they’re screaming bloody murder because their ability to be tyrannical authoritarians is being taken away.

We splitting hairs but merely drawing comics does not make someone an artist.

Almost every webcomic artist I've ever met is a godsdamned fucking artist, I want to be clear.

One could pretty successfully argue that evoking such strong emotion out of his shitty comics makes them art, but it's convoluted and I'm not an expert in outsider art despite being a practitioner. And it's easy to evoke emotion by s throwing shit. So like, tomato papaya.
