Not a meme, just an opinion over a picture.

Oooh, I think I can explain this. Conservatism demands adherence to a an extremely homogeneous model of living. They've constructed this giant house of cards that relies on it. Accepting deviations from these norms calls into question a variety of foundational conservative beliefs. They effectively can't question the status quo else everything falls apart.

The only option for them is to make LGBTQ people an unacceptable, dangerous other. Because if queer folk are normal people who just want to be allowed to exist, if there is no sweeping gay agenda, if maybe they read their holy book wrong ... they've been behaving like assholes, for decades, for no good reason.

Their core identities would take an unacceptably heavy blow, so they have no choice but to double down. Well, that's the case for the ones that care about internal consistency.

Some of them just want an excuse to be cruel to a group too small to fight back.

They don't have a meaningful level of free will from what I understand. That's part of the process of creating them. They only act within certain boundaries or else resort to raiding and eating... everything. And everyone. Occasionally each other.

Their entire species was created as a magical weapon. The funny thing they're really supposed to represent the cruelties of industrialization. Tolkien was not a fan of what England did with technology.

Yes, the lack of humor is the issue. It's banter OP, chill.

God I hate "screen time" discourse. Not all activity that happens on a screen is of equivalent value.

Oh yes, it was just that because Britain has treated its colonies so well throughout history. /S

Santa has world class ICE at the North Pole. And cooling is very cheap there, so he gets a lot of extra performance out of his hardware.

Depending on your perspective of time, none of them did. All of them happened and are as much a part of reality as any other moment. We may have moved past those moments, but that's only an artifact of our relative position in the timeline.
