When I worked retail back in college in multiple places at the same time, nothing set off a certain kind of white petite bourgeoisie than saying "happy holidays" even if you said 'Merry Christmas' before and after it and were just trying not to get bored saying the exact same thing to each and every customer.
That's the thing about Nat-Cs, they can't stand the thought of anyone celebrating any holiday other than the one they stole.
I wish I had natural Cs
Your progesterone ration has been increased.
And you just know those igno's just listened uncritically to Bing Crosby sing "happy holidays" on their way to the mall. Mf boomers cant even look up the fact the saying's been around as long as they have, and it means "merry christmas and happy new year"
Yes i have, yes. At the gap and the buckle. Fuck
The culture war enemy is a shifting target. They only accept Ripley and Vasquez in Aliens because that movie was around during the member-berries era where they felt safe.
If Aliens came out today there'd be soooooo much
and not just because of the women in it but because the men are shown as weak and vulnerable at times and it suggests that a mega corporation is evil and fucked up.
Yeah and if you tell them that they'll just go "well no Ripley was well written! We're fine with well written women!"
And its so blatantly obvious that no, the difference isnt the writing, its that reactionary youtube grifters werent around in 1986 to tell them what to be mad at. I've literally seen them call Chell from Portal "well written" in this way, for fuck's sake she doesnt fucking speak. If the reactionairy grift Network had been around when Portal came out they'd hate Chell too. An unsexualized woman protagonist in a game? WOKE!
In my opinion Aloy was very well written by contemporary game standards but that didn't stop a bunch of
from giving her clumsy 
makeovers that make zero sense for the character and the environment she's in.
I've seen worse. I've seen
chuds say Chell was well written because she, quote, shuts the fuck up." 
They're the reason "you can't release Blazing Saddles today."
Chell is also, iirc, ambiguously brown.
Someone would definitely do a six hour video on why hicks is soy and how he promotes the woke agenda to emasculate men.
