It's almost as if most of Alabama is a backwards shithole that only legalized interracial marriage in the year 2000. Rural Alabama (which is 90% of the state outside of Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, and Montgomery) is a regressive wasteland of low quality schools, teen pregnancy, and obesity.

I say that as someone who lives in the state.

Everything is valid if you ignore the context when it is convenient.

Our culture accepts two lies.
If you disagree with someone's lifestyle, you must fear/hate them. To love someone you agree with everything they believe/do.

Much like Brokeback Mountain, I didn't think the episode of Arthur was gay enough.

I expected Mr. Ratburn to walk down the aisle in full village people getup with assless chaps, and to follow it up with their first dance being to Supermodel (You Better Work) by Rupaul.

I think they handled it fine, but yeah I was expecting more of a "in your face" kind of deal. At most they had them walk down the aisle and then a dance right after.

It's a good thing to inoculate youth with a new norm, that way they don't grow up as bigoted, discriminatory and hateful as some of us did. I suspect that once older generations die out and more and more young people become exposed to the idea of gay people existing (I know, a shocker!) homophobia will slowly but surely phase out.

This is a good thing, by the way. We need more of it, even though it may cause stress within the older generations. It will be worth it.

Those who are religious and are not on bored with this should probably just remain silent. Your dissent will be for nothing. You aren't suppose to be invested in the world, anyway. I'm not saying to abandon your values, but you can live and let live

"Our broadcast would take away the choice of parents who feel it is inappropriate," Alabama Public Television says.


Don't they have the choice to change the channel? Not airing it is taking away the choice of parents who aren't little snowflake bitches.

I'm okay with taking the choice away from idiot parents.

I didnt even say incest outright. Just implied it. My post was when your lawmakers are all [redacted] Fair next of course, but its pretty petty and also inconsistent since these jokes are made all the time and theyre rarely modded when I mark them.

One would hope but it's gonna take a long time. Racism is still alive after all. And men who think women are inferior.

Funny enough, the post where I explained "the joke" got modded for implying that Alabamians are into incest, yet the topic itself remained.

To me the most offensive thing about the episode was how often the characters used technology like tablets and cell phones that didn't exist in the '90s.

Tbh it is just an observation. It is true,
they ban this but dont ban Game of Thrones which has incest among many other things. Any implications are because of themselves.
