Jordan Peterson isn’t even a Christian

Asking for a source is a perfectly valid thing to do. I dont think its worth mocking, even in the worst of faith (which the comment was not)

I’m sorry but I think this take is ridiculous. Producing art is labor, and every laborer should be entitled to a living. That idea gets scoffed at a lot, but art has the potential to be an incredible expression of human experience. I’d argue that authors and songwriters are in the same boat, using a form of expression to appeal to other people. Obviously if your art sucks people wont want it, you are mostly at the whims of your audience if you are lucky enough to have one.

Porn is not inherently fascist, though. The way that pornography exists as an industry in our current time is exploitative and fascist, because we live in a fascist/capitalist society.

Im of the belief that pornography for the purpose of sexual gratification has basically always existed in some form or another. Fascist country creates fascist porn.

Im going to sound like a massive rube here probably but i’ve enjoyed The Last of Us, both the two games and two seasons of TV. I dont really buy that the game is some sort of Israeli propaganda piece, just based off the evidence of Neil Druckman being Israeli and saying that the story was inspired by the experience of seeing a lynching as a teen. I appreciate the games for their satisfying gameplay, and i think that the combined story they tell is interesting and emotionally complex.

Before you scoff at that last line, I may also be biased towards liking the series, on account of how GamerGate-esque the reception to the second game was. Just the absolute worst youtube personalities going on about how the franchise is ruined, what happened to my wholesome Foster Father SimulatorTM, Abby has muscles while also being a woman (egads!), etc… Usually when chuds cry about a piece of media, I have an inclination to check it out, and I’ve enjoyed what i got to experience out of that this time.
