Yeah that’s basically what anyone who knows a lot about the culture that formed in the wake of the fanfic thinks. That and the fact that members of that community are too insufferable for lemmy

No, plenty of replies on here aren’t pedantic at all

Wow, thank fuck I eloped

Why? He’s acknowledged that’s where he’s headed

Would she be sleeping with them otherwise?

Not if they’re talking about it like that. I’d be pissed if a partner or metamour was talking about it like that

Surely that post wasn’t that long ago…

An asshole who was notably dead weight in every project?

Did you like those fancy tools they gave you in school? You can cling to your memories of them as you attempt to recreate their functionality in excel without your boss noticing that you’re wasting time on this

As someone who grew up catholic, I really don’t know how. Catholic school was very clear about how right wing populism in the US was frequently super anti catholic to the point of hate crimes. And it’s not like protestants are great at hiding the contempt

Yeah I got that from time to time growing up. And as mentioned elsewhere, treating Catholics as not really American. Also got called a devil worshipper about it sometimes.

I left the church over several fundamental issues including women’s rights and queer rights, but I’m still partial to it even though I’m pagan these days. I still can’t fucking stand Baptists.
