PK_Spam 05/10/18 1:33:47 PM #1:	That stupid I have a misunderstanding with my friend that will make things awkward for the next 22 minutes and things will be Normal if we JUST TALK, but we cant until the end! I understand if it happens once, maybe 3 times over the course of a show, but there therere shows like New Girl (which I like) but has this subplot all the damn time. Like every other episode, at least. Do the writers no care? Or do they not realize that theyre just doing the same thing over, and over, and over again? --- https://i.imgur.com/hCHZS1f.gif <cite>PK_Spam posted [p:901116709] in You know w...

But leftists definately did it on purpose and have been found being quoted on in before the great google takeover on youtube. Youtube circa 2012 was an entirely different animal... it was where feminism went to die. Now its where they promote it. Dont get me started on the split of atheist community. Leftists like using religious reasons as an excuse to handwave critics of our current attitudes towards transexuals and they couldnt do that to atheistic scientists so they had to inject identity politics into it and now its a nazi stance somehow?
