I know this isn't the point of the thread but I never really thought about Goodkind's books from a fascist angle, has been like 15 years since I've read any of them but yeah, between the Great Man allegory and the end of the book where he magics the ravenous hordes of I'm assuming communists to an alternate reality it is pretty :cringe: Oh and also where the main female protagonist almost gets raped by assassins.

Had to look this up, and I guess eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia haven't fallen off like I assumed. But I will say I'm glad that the beauty standard of women starving themselves has at least decreased. I'm not shaming skinny women, but when I was growing up in the 2000s it seemed like eating disorders were glamorized and endemic to women. Genuinely feels like women in the west are at healthier weights now, but I don't have data to support that.
No thanks to joyless withered boomer-brained ghouls like :jordan-eboy-peterson:
New Atheism. Unfortunately almost all of those people are now mask-off fash
Every New Atheist came to a point where they had to decide if they care about people or not, and if they chose no they went mask-off fash, and if they chose yes they’re now a Marxist-Leninist
I am the second 😔
I'm still baffled by how many "dunk on the creationists" became "dunk on the feminists" became "I am culturally Christian in a totally secular way just like Richard Dawkins" became "clean your room, bucko!" :jordan-eboy-peterson:
Because the movement was always about privileged white kids being contrarian and feeling smarter than everyone else. So of course, when the culture war really ramped up, they veered hard right.
No one could have predicted the saga of lobster man though :michael-laugh:
Almost every "generation meh" Xer that used to work for and be a personality on MTV became a full MAGA chud. They wanted to not care about anything that badly. Militant apathy.
