    Coyote's Very Normal House Tour

    So, apparently there's this... "wad?"... that a guy made for the classic Doom game, based on his friend's house. It was made and published in his dead friend's memory with the family's permission, which I think is sweet. :yay:

    And looking at the thumbnail, I guess I'll be making new friends. :trixieshiftright:

    Newer New Chapter Yay!

    The latest latest chapter of Taking Back Canterlot is now available! Rejoice! :yay:

    This is the chapter that started out as the second half of the previous chapter, before that momma chapter grew so huge it split apart to form two daughter chapters, like an amoeba.

    New Chapter

    The latest chapter of Taking Back Canterlot is now available.

    Next one will hopefully be done within a week.

    And after that... well, after that, we’ll see if Twilight’s determination to wage a revolution without a war is even possible, as the Rainbooms finally set their sights on the first gang on their list.

Conversion Therapy Is Somehow Still Legal In Most US States. · 10:21am Nov 25th, 2020

Not to be a downer, but this has been on my mind again. Judges have even defended it on a ‘free speech’ basis.

Which is rubbish. I had opportunity to research it a bit while getting my degree, and... dude. There are no words. It’s torture, and oft performed on children. But the fact that it is still a thing at all is both amazing and appalling.

Fight.

I wasn't aware that torturing people was apparently a form of speech, much less something as noble as free speech.

what the fuck

I really wish the worst thing we could talk about on this map was the hybrid state of Louisiarkansas. What the actual hell.

Obviously we need to get rid of this everywhere. But, to use an analogy, trying to do so immediately would be the equivalent of redecorating your house while it's on fire. The root of American government is fundamentally broken. Once the voices of the people - not the corporations - can be heard, and the insane, fascist block that the Republican Party has now become is reduced to the annals of history, only then can true, meaningful progress be made.

Despite the depressing facts most of the map indicates, Louisiarkansas is pretty funny.

Edit: Conversion therapy should never have been a thing in the first place, much like other LGTBQ-related horrors, such as trans panic actually being an acceptable legal defense for murder.

Kidnapping and torture is a Free Speech issue? Neat! I'm gonna have some goons kidnap and torture my son until he realizes that Star Trek is better than Star Wars!

The above is illustrates exactly how insane this idea is, while still being perfectly justified under the law in these states.

Gee, I sure don't see any pattern in which states have prohibited it. :pinkiesick:

That said, I'm surprised Utah of all places has prohibited conversion therapy.

Judges have defended all kinds of heinous things by stretching the meaning "free speech" beyond any reasonable limit. They've basically excused financial corruption in electioneering under the same excuse, for instance.

I wonder if it is free speech to take a lead pipe to the face of conversion therapy supporters. 🤔

5405163
Perhaps you were just expressing your constitutionally protected speech... in the form of a physical action! /s

I bet it must be free speech to hire people to bust up their cars and houses, and bribe the police to ignore it. Money is speech after all, the Supreme Court says so! :trollestia:

If we're talking about free speech, I would also like some free donuts.

5405170
I'm sure some complementary donuts can be arranged with Free Speech DollarsTM coming out of a slush fund.

I get what you’re saying, though I do disagree with you on one aspect.

I don’t think it’s so much like redecorating while the house is on fire, as it is like having a small child choking to death while the house is on fire. Both are important, and you have to figure out how to divide your attention so that suffering and death are minimized. And you may need to improv a bit while trying to tackle both problems (or, in the case of injustice in the US, the variety of problems).

It will likely take several generations to turn the US into a fully functional democracy, if then. And while working on that does need immediate attention, people are also being tortured, scarred, and even killing themselves due in part to trauma incurred from this so-called therapy right now.

Definitely, we help however we can. That's why I've been helping a socialist Youtuber (Second Thought) write scripts, draw more eyes to the issues.
