But what are your thoughts on homosex?
Sci-fi writer John C. Wright does not approve of the Sci-Fi channel's apparent pandering to the "homosex" crowd.

The head of Sci-Fi channel has contritely promised to include more homosex in future shows, and to do it nonchalantly, just as if this abomination is normal and natural and worthy of no comment. The shows will not actually come out and say sexual perversion has no bad side effects. They won't actually lie and tell you homosex won't destroy your life. But they will imply the lie. They will play along.

Homosex. It's almost kind of catchy!

I'd like someone, anyone, to explain to me how my culture reached a position where a public entertainment company can be criticized for failing to contribute to the moral decay of the land, and that the criticism would be taken seriously, and the company would cringe and promise to do better.

Someone explain to me by what series of events persons with serious sexual-psychological malfunctions would somehow be awarded the status of moral arbiters, something like priests and confessors and sages -- except that the passkey to being a guardian of public conscience in our age is the absence of moral value, not the presence.


Explain they do. As soon as the post is referenced in a MetaQuote, the dissenters are off to reply to Mr. Wright. The initial reaction is small, but promising. Most responses are rational and non-inflammatory. Others are quite succinct and curt. A number of users coming in presumably through MetaQuotes announce Mr. Wright's loss of a potential customer, as long as Mr. Wright does indeed use their filthy, filthy Leftist dollars.

Come, my liberal leftist comrades! You openly boast of your superior intellectual power and more profound moral sobriety than we mere working Joes of flyover country (including working Joes like me with a doctorate in law who works in DC). You have anointed yourselves our superiors: that means you are smart enough to explain it. By what logic is the sole and single standard of virtue in your world view an absolute devotion to vice? By what logic is the sole and single sin the sin of having standards of virtue, what you call being intolerant?

'dem sure be fancy words.

Actually, no. Strike "laundry detergent" and insert "baking powder."

Strike "baking powder" and insert "borderline-pedophilic bondage fantasies".

Oh how I wish I were kidding.

It worked for me by right-clicking and opening it in a new tab, but I wish it hadn't. The author? Definitely someone I'd like to avoid. Forever.

...woah. And after his rant is full of claims that legitimizing homosexuality will lead to all kinds of bad including sadomasochism. I do love it when people like him give easy proof of hypocrisy. Makes me feel a bit less I'll about his rant and a little more able to laugh as a bonus.

Amelia—who despite her up-for-debate actual age, is in the body of a 14-year-old—being forced by her supposed friends to dress as a slutty maid and serve them, being erotically spanked by the headmaster, being preyed upon in various ways by the lecherous gardener, being forcibly decked out in a skanky dress and makeup and chained to a wall with a big metal collar for said gardener’s pleasure… I could sadly go on. I did go on—out of some small hope that the book would end with Amelia SOUNDLY WHOOPING ALL THEIR ASSES, but instead it concludes with her essentially getting her mind raped too as the setup for the next book in the series. Oh boy. You can bet I’ll be queuing up for that.

D: That's like... Jacqueline Carey's evil twin, or something. I also find it offensive that these are supposed to be Greek gods. So, basically, he rummages through mythology taking what he wants and having other people's gods rape each other.

I love the smell of demented-assed little jackwaxy lolicon dickhole misogynist fantasies in the morning.

It smells like me setting things on fire! :D

*cough* My suppressed pyromania aside - what does this dumbfuck think he is, de Sade's spiritual successor? Or is this supposed to be one of those bullshit cautionary tales wherein the skanky woman is punished for her unvirtuous ways?

(Misogyny on this level is pretty much openly condoned by a fair chunk of the Catholic church, which I assume he is part of given is omgVulcans comment up there somewhere. While not every CATHOLIC is this manner of a dick, there is - a fair sized group of people in the subculture and the church who are openly bigoted and disgusting, and will hide behind their religion when called on it. (Which isn't unique to Catholicism or indeed even religion! See: political leanings, Eurocentrist idjits who believe anything different from their default is primitive superstitious savagery, etc.)

Meanwhile, Jesus sighs and bangs his head lightly against the pearly gates in exasperation at their doin it rong.)

lololololol now that I have brought the unfunny I atone with plankton.

He's a recent convert. Who was previously an atheist. That right there explains a lot, IMO. He's not the first atheist-to-Catholic convert I've seen who feels the need to be an extra-special-asshole so as to shout loud enough to silence their own inner doubt.

(But you're not wrong, hence the love-hate affair so many of us who come from Catholic families have with the Church. Such breathtaking beauty, deep culture, and scholarship; so much fuckwittery.)

I'm Protestant, and yeah, this applies to us as well. I do not ever feel guilty for telling people to shut up, because religion is not an excuse for bigotry. It doesn't make Jesus happy.

I have also brought the unfunny, and I shall atone with airhorns

Oh man, one of the reviews there has an excerpt from the book, and all skeeviness aside, the writing sucks. For example:

I noticed that he smelled nice. And tall. [...] And strong. And ruthless and confident.

She must have a pretty good nose.

OK, so strong, ruthless and confident I think usually can be fixed with a good lashing of hot water and soap. But WTF does "tall" smell like?

I believe, after getting two chapters into his first book The Golden Age, I shall not be able to get through without a good dose of alcohol or an audience reading in funny voices.
