I'm not understanding your comparison to the Troubles, because Paisley was the lead figure who fuelled the fires of religious hate through his influence, having founded a number of the groups involved in the incidents that kicked off the Troubles.
Maybe it wasn't a single speech that caused it, but he was very much the face of the loyalist movement for most of his life.
It was last revised under the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885 where it was raised from 13 to 16... so I would think it probably was designed exactly that way. None of the parliaments in the UK seem to have any intention of raising it.
Ah yes, @bikini.bottom.news!
Omg this is exactly what I've been looking for. I do a lot of media monitoring for work and have been using MBFC to try to measure how reliable my current Google Alerts are, because it throws up some weird and wild news sources.
Tomie isn't as meme-ified as Amigara fault, or as widely adapted as Uzumaki, but is another of his bigger works, would recommend!
Also, you may have seen a few images from Uzumaki (the hair, the face) but the story is quite long and really unsettling! Would still recommend giving it a read.
Just FYI, because it seems like you want a trans-exclusionary sub, this is not the one for you. Sidebar rules state the belief here is that trans women are women, and as OP pointed out, the misogyny you describe is often a result of gender perception rather than chromosomal makeup.
This is extremely reductionist as it's actually a fairly complex school of thought, but it's essentially just: everyone is equal and thus should have equal rights and treatment under the law. A basic example:
I have a cake and take it to a party with 7 others. We agree everyone should have equal right and access to the cake and so cut it into 8 equal slices.
Where as Capitalism is like: I decide because I came up with the idea of getting cake, I deserve more of it, so I take 50%. The host of the party gets a 20% cut. And the remaining 6 guests divvy the remaining 30% amongst themselves.
Brian Blessed is probably the most known person I've met. He is exactly like his appearance on any TV show you've seen him on. He wants to tell stories, endlessly. He's always got a fascinating story or fact to tell you. He wants to speak to literally anyone about anything.
This was at a convention years ago, and he had two handlers who were ripping their hair out from the frustration - they were bitching about how impossible he is to get from place to place but he's just so goddamn nice.
Other notable meet (to me) was Regi Fils-Aimé. I was wearing a Zelda necklace and he went "ooooh I like your necklace!" and I pretty much resembled that scene where Troy meets LeVar Burton in Community.
... but what did he call you about? I need to know more!
Isn't that essentially what Patreon is for though? How is it different (other than I assume no 'bonus content' for your sub)?
Paisley of course being instrumental in those 'plantations' - i just thought it weird to suggest he didn't start the Troubles, when he pretty much did.
Not to say Musk is comparable - he's not even close to the main actor here. But he is a public figure who has been using the social media platform he owns to stir up hatred against particular groups of people in the UK. And not just on this occasion, he's been chiming in for years.
