I think he might be upset.

I couldn't help but laugh at the Catholic League's latest episode of epic butthurt courtesy of Bill Donohue. I couldn't help but snicker as he let out another spittle flecked tirade aimed this time at a couple of New Hampshire politicians. I laughed and said, "Oh, he mad!"

Why is he mad? Well, because a couple of politicians decided that since the Catholic League threw a hissy fit over another politician calling one of the Catholic Church's bishops a pedophile pimp. And two of these other politicians called them out for the Catholic Church's pedo-enabling ways. Oh. No. They. Didn't!

"Rep. Lynne Ober wrote the following to us in an e-mail: "I agree that is certainly unfortunate that the Catholic League chooses to harbor a person who helped pedophiles continue abusing children."

"Rep. Manuse wrote this missive. "I am now considering a bill to remove the Church's tax-exempt status in New Hampshire, for you have clearly shown that you no longer want it.""

So you insult a couple of politicians, who are there to serve the people of the state of New Hampshire because they're meanies. They (and I'm certain the majority of the residents of New Hampshire, aren't too big on pedophiles either), so why wouldn't they return the Catholic League's unreasonable butthurt with a statement that's pretty straightforward and to the point? The Catholic Church is guilty of harboring, aiding, abetting, and hiding the fact that it's clergy were sexually abusing children. Child rapists. Now, not every priest is a child rapist, and I'm not saying that at all, but it is a problem that is global. This has been an issue everywhere. Throwing a temper tantrum every time that this problem the Catholic Church has with it's priestly pedophiles solves nothing. 

Stop denying the abuse, shuffling those who harm children to another place, and let the abusers face the law. These people should not be given a pass to destroy another person's life because they've learned from a special magic book dedicated to an angry and assholish sky daddy. No one should be given a pass when they rape and destroy a child. No one. Ever.

Of course, Master of Drama had to blow up. Since these congress persons did not direct anything to him, but to the organization, he wants them to say it to his face!

"Why doesn't Ober take the next step by personally accusing me of harboring a person who helped pedophiles continue to abuse children? Organizations can't sue for libel, but individuals can."  

I'm pretty sure she meant what she said. The Catholic Church has aided, abetted, and enabled pedophiles to continue to abuse children. She never said Donohue was running an underground Pedobear railroad. She's obviously not going to play into your game Billy boy. That's ridiculous. The Catholic League makes themselves look like complete buffoons and idiots every time they get butthurt because their papal overlords are okay with hide the kiddy fiddler. Especially when the rage is due to someone actually mentioning that the Catholic Church has an issue with kiddy fiddlers in their clergy.  

Why won't people just stop saying words about our precious church! Why won't they stops saying words and making it look bad! Sorry. The Church is responsible for that. Get over yourself Billy.

"Why doesn't Manuse go right ahead with his bill to remove the Church's tax-exempt status? We'd love to present his e-mail in court."

Oh you! And what exactly will that e-mail do? If a law is passed, there is no court. No hearing, no nothing. It's either a law or it isn't. The bill was successful or unsuccessful. Good luck with that Billy. 

"Didn't anyone ever tell these lawmakers to be careful what they put in writing? In any event, it's time these two heard from our members."

I'm contemplating sending the two of them an e-mail encouraging them to continue to troll the Catholic League. If they've got them this butthurt, they must be doing something right.

 

This is why we can't have nice things

While at work this past weekend, I had the distinct displeasure of reading a blog post put up by a person who decided that Japanese culture and anime in general is sexist because the shows they were watching had the female characters doing nothing in their words. I hate when people cry sexism over the stupidest shit. And yes, I think the shit is stupid. I think people that cry sexism over every little thing are fucking morons. They are the ones that cry wolf about every little thing and when something indeed is wrong, it's ignored because it's viewed as bullshit whining. That kind of shit is why we can't have nice things. I personally don't care if others agree about my opinion on this or not, because this is just my opinion. I am of the opinion that bawwwing everytime you don't get your way means you're a fucking pansy that needs to grow up and live in the real world. You need to take responsibility for your actions and not blame everything on someone else. And if you're going to watch a shit show like Naruto, you get what you deserve.

And yes, the first bout of bawwwing was over Naruto. A show aimed at 10 to 18 year old MALES. The show focused on the MALE characters. I don't know about you, but my brothers would not have watched a 24 minute commercial for the toys if it was about fucking Barbie. Most cartoons aimed at that particular demographic are just that, a long commercial to get toys sold. And if you wanted to see a female oriented show, why the fuck are you watching shonen shit anyway? What does Wikipedia say about shonen manga?

The term shōnen, shonen, or shounen manga (少年漫画, shōnen manga) refers to manga marketed to a male audience roughly between the ages of 10 and 18. The Kanji characters (少年) literally mean "few" and "year", respectively, where the characters (漫画) generally mean "comic". The complete phrase literally means "young person's comic." Examples include Dragon Ball, Naruto, Bleach, Hunter X Hunter, One Piece, Saint Seiya, Fairy Tail, YuYu Hakusho, Detective Conan, Yu-Gi-Oh and Fullmetal Alchemist.

Huh. Wow. Well what about the female characters doing "absolutely nothing"?

Shōnen (少年) manga (漫画) is typically characterized by high-action, often humorous plots featuring male protagonists. The camaraderie between boys or men on sports teams, fighting squads and the like is often emphasized. Attractive female characters with exaggerated features are also common (see fan service), but are not a requirement; Dragon Ball, for example, has only a few such characters. The art style of shōnen is generally less flowery than that of shōjo manga, although this varies greatly from artist to artist, and some artists draw both shōnen and shōjo manga.

So you're going to complain about anime aimed at males, dealing with action stories about said male characters and whine that it's sexist? Fuck you.  You need to start watching shoujo anime and shut up. Seriously. I wouldn't complain that Barbie discriminated against males because the males seriously do nothing. That would be fucking stupid. And you're going to complain about another culture based on the viewing of 13 episodes of Naruto. REALLY? What the fuck is wrong with you.

Now I don't watch Naruto because, lol ninjas in fluorescent orange hurr durr! It's not the type of show I'm into. Obviously they need to find a new show to watch as well. I'd suggest something like Sailor Moon or some other Mary Sue shit to watch. I'm not into that shit either, but I'm not going to bash you if you enjoy shows like that. 

To be fair, it wasn't a single show that they based this cry to the waaaahmbulance to. It was two. The second show was The Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Now that pissed me off. I quite enjoy LoGH quite a bit, and don't seem to mind a bit that the female characters are minor to the story itself and seem kind of derpy at times. It's a space opera. It's science fiction. It's about FUCKING WAR, not pretty dresses and kissing princes and fucking bullshit like that. Why are you watching a show like this? WHY? You obviously have no interest in such things except to bawwww! about them at the drop of a hat because the gurls are not evenly represented. 

Oh, sorry, I guess I missed the part where men are crying about Days of Our Lives not being manly enough. Or As the World Turns having too few explosions and gun battles. Personally, I may tune in if there were massive space fleet battles during General Hospital. Probably not though because I can't fucking stand soap operas. You don't see men bitching about it though. They watch something else. You don't like Naruto, that's fair, I don't either. You don't like LoGH? That's fine too. Don't fucking play the sexism card however. Both of those shows are aimed at males. Watch something else you whiner.
