Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

Ok, haha, amazing...
Except for the killing kids thing. Let's not associate feminism with killing kids, even as a joke. Abortion is not "killing kids" and we shouldn't even put that within proximity of verification...
Some things are better to only joke about among people you know. When my wife says "I'm going to kill our son", I feel safe laughing about it. He's maddening, and he saves the worst of it for us. He's lucky he's cute.
But when a stranger jokes about something like this, there has to be a whole supporting context for transgressive comedy to seem safe and therefore funny.
Isn't comedy theory boring? Anyway
Except this is a quote from Pat Robinson. It's powerful for us to take his scare mongering and respond with "based"
Yes, I understand that that is how most people see it, and I would, except that killing children is objectively not based and people still beleive we are genuinely doing that. So this means you can't say "based" to this and not actually look evil at this time because of the accepted zeitgeist.
The fact people are still thinking that abortion and birth control is "killing children " makes it vital we ridicule it in exactly this way. If we hush hush about it we give them the power.
It's satire.
Believe it or not, it’s a real quote by Pat Robertson! Unreal.
From the 60s, which has been rejected from all reasonable people who recognize him as a chud. If you find anyone who supports this vernacular in this day and age, they're worth ignoring at best, attacking (politically) at worst.
Majority of the people currently in power in US not only support this, but they actively working to make it a mainstream rhetoric.
This does not change anything I said.
If we don't make fun of people who say this, then we've lost. They're worth mocking, even if you don't like it.
Heard.
Clutching pearls about the way someone others you is some victim shit.
They say wild ass shit let’s show how absolutely worth ridicule they are.
