Some Disney villains are cool. Some are just horrible. But whenever I see anything that depicts Cruella De Vil as one of the "cool" villains, I can't help but wonder if these people even know the plot of 101 Dalmatians. She wants to skin puppies to make a fur coat! PUPPIES! What kind of sick person would do that?

If you're offended by parties inspired by the aesthetics of, say, the Victorian Era, because it was a racist time: eff you. It was also a sexist time; do you see me getting offended by this stuff??? No. You're just a snowflake.

Media targeted at women: "Everyone should be a feminist! Anti-abortion laws control women's bodies! The future is female!"
Also media targeted at women: "Domestic violence is sexy! Change yourself to impress hot guys! Conform to our unrealistic beauty standards!"

Trying to look for Rammstein lyrics that fit the following criteria:
1. Use of da- and wo- with prepositions and/or verbs with fixed prepositions.
2. Won't freak out my professor.

And I'm failing epically.

When you're trying to listen to [Rammstein's] "Frühling in Paris" and the bus driver is playing pop music really loud.

Comparing homosexuality to pedophilia isn't just offensive to gay people. It's scary because people who do that are overlooking the key thing that's wrong with pedophilia: children can't consent. Because they're overlooking this, it's clear that they don't understand the importance of consent. And that's dangerous.

I'm a big fan of Jesus, but most conservative Christians would say that I'm not a "true" Christian because I support marriage equality, I'm a feminist, I listen to "Satanic" music, I don't go to church, I believe the Bible is fallible, and I practice my own form of spirituality that incorporates elements of non-Christian religions. So I understand how pro-choice Christians feel when they're constantly being told they're not "real" Christians.
At the same time, Jesus was very clear that we should love everyone, and that does not allow us to kill human beings. Those things I listed earlier have very little to do with what Jesus actually said, and more to do with how people have interpreted the Bible. Jesus's overall message was to love God and to love your neighbor, and to support abortion is to go against that. So, while a pro-choice person could be part of the Christian religion, they are not being Christlike. I'd say the same about Christians who are unkind to poor people, undocumented immigrants, LGBT+ people, women, people of color, or anyone else, really.
So yeah. I know I pissed off both conservative and progressive Christians in a single post, but whatever.

I'm pretty sure Laura Branigan's "Gloria" is about a schizophrenic person running from the police.

The fact that none of the hairstyles in The Sims 4 look even remotely like Till's hair needs to change.
But I don't have the skills to make a Till's hair mod.

I can't wait until people can be gay and no one will think it's a political statement.

Social conservatives think gay marriage destroys families. But they're often the ones disowning their LGBT+ children, encouraging same-gender couples to get divorced, beating up their children, and supporting tearing families apart at the border.
Face it, you're not pro-family. You're pro-conformity. You only support family if it conforms to your standards of what's "normal."

The lyrics to Rammstein's "Puppe" are very disturbing. I'm not sure if mishearing it as "Popo" will make it better or worse.

Fuck the police.

Is it bad that I giggled a little when I saw pinot noir on a restaurant menu?

I think there's a good chance that the term "cultural appropriation" was actually coined by a neo-Nazi who wanted to trick white people into not engaging with other cultures by calling it "social justice."

The lyrics to Owl City's "Fireflies" are even more cringey than the English version of "Du Hast." And that's saying something.
