You've got þat backwards... Þorne is þe unvoiced letter, as in þem or boþ, whereas eð is þe voiced, as in faðer.

Source: A semester of Old West Norse language class (wherein þorne and eð are used in the same way as in English).

And the Satanic Bible of course. And Nietzsche for the atheist philosophers, prose and poetic eddas for us heathens, some text or another for Wicca, and a Latin edition of Ars Goetia... right? No? Then I smell religious favoritism worthy of the supreme court.

Not quite an aneurysm, just a misplaced comma and some absent quotes.

Translated:

If the whole world went by the "it takes a village to raise a child" theory, and children were raised not by the individual but by the world as a whole, what would the world look like?

If Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 was so good, why didn't it feature any Taylor Swift music?

Washing my hands, I use a $1 bottle of dollar store soap, feels pretty luxurious (I'm a broke university student and my codormatory had no soap before I bought it don't judge).

Of course I don't think it was written by an actual terf. But very similar things are often said by them, and I think there is a place for using satire like this. Satirical comics have been used in countless other political issues for hundreds of years (just look at the comics similar to this against King George). Why is it any different or any more "arrogant" in our case?

And in a way, yes, "spite the haters" is a big part of it. Because the "haters" are in most cases actively abusing or discriminating against us, and we generally like to bring attention to such social issues. That's the point of political comics. I'd hardly call pointing out evil people and bringing them up as a joke "arrogant."

These people exist. I've met them, my friends have met them, and I personally have been abused by them. This is not a strawman argument, it's a snarky comic aimed at real people who have hurt people like me. I don't see why attacking those people is "arrogant and attention seeking." Were not pretending to be victims, we're attacking people who have hurt us through humor and snarky remarks... a perfectly reasonable response I'd say. I also apologize for assuming you're one of those people, I was quick to jump to that conclusion when it looked like you were defending such actions...
