The Omnibus Republican Book Banning Thread

...@Dinner?

The Lonely Squire

The Lonely Squire!!! Yes! Was going nuts trying to remember the name.

You liked it when Gina Carano did it.

Every once in a while I get curious about how a thread keeps bumping to the top and has only a couple posts so click Show Ignored Content and near immediately I am reminded of how smart past me was and how correct their decisions.

but I though you only had garamet on ignore?

So administrators can but us on ignore, but we can’t put them on ignore?

Yes? Otherwise the next time you start posting Nazi imagery or the like you might not even see the warnings to knock it off before getting banned.

Missouri Republican candidate torches LGBTQ-inclusive books in viral video

Ok shit, that totallyu worked. I am straight and ready to play football now. Who knew all someone needed to do was burn some random copy of a huge printing of some GLBT themed books and all the GLBT would just go away.

Oh wait no, just a hairball.

Anyway, I burned a bunch of bibles to own to CHUDs back in the day, and I have to say is thanks for supporting the authors and promoting the books to a larger audience. Something I didn't really do with the bibles from the dollar store.

That’s not a book ban.

Somewhere, a copy of Probe is saying "Challenge Accepted".

Or I just don't think she should lose her job over a dumb tweet when Pedro Pascal does practically the same thing but faces no consequences because he has the correct politics. AND it was all a red herring because firing her over her refusal to play the idiotic fucking pronouns game wouldn't sell as well.

Anyway, I accept your concession by was of your failure to respond to the actual conversation.

Nah none of that.
The proof is, you go on to spout her exact latest line of drama queenery.

You eat her shit right up.

Right. It’s worse.

Same old, nonresponsive bullshit from you. She was fired for petty reasons you agree with, but you're too much of a petulant little coward to just admit it and leave it at that.

How so?

Because it includes the implication of future violence.

okay, suuuure.

You’re the historian. You tell me what tends to happen in the wake of book burnings.

Well, if it’s just one person then you get called Lesbian Shoes and made fun of on an obscure message board. Wake me up when it’s Nazi Germany and Indiana Jones has the grail diary signed by Hitler

Oh, as if you won't hit the snooze alarm even then.

Tell me, was Lesbian Shoes running for political office?

When you wait that long to wake up, it's too late.

so you definitely clicked the link right, read this...

...and then decided you immediately needed to find a way to defend her.

Pointing out that this is not a book ban is not the same thing as defending this woman's stupid behavior.

Super answer. Now if someone went through the trouble of using a flamethrower to torch some books doesn’t that indicate they would be likely to ban books once elected? Or is this just performative bullshit for clicks?

Even if it didn't, her explicit statement that that's what she intends to do would.

Umm, she said that those books would burn, not that she would ban them. And by burn, she obviously meant "up the bestseller lists." /s
