  • Focusing on AR-15 is ridiculous. They’ll use what ever the best thing is they have access to.

    No, because an AR-15 was used in this specific case, and these specific companies were involved in making and aggressively marketing this specific gun to the specific person who used it to kill these people.

    This isn’t a “Marilyn Manson/video games/anything-but-guns is the real reason” type argument.

    These specific companies’ obviously dangerous practice of marketing guns to teenaged boys contributed to the events at Uvalde, or so the suit alleges.

    It’s an argument worth hearing the details of before judging.



  • Are people not familiar with Chick Tracts? These comics are the product of the prodigous paranoid right wing evangelical conspiracy theorist Jack Chick (1924-2016).

    I think these comics are best understood as the work of an outsider artist, like Henry Darger or a painting elephant. His work allows you to glimpse a mind outside the normal human experience.

    His work focuses on who is going to hell - everyone who’s not a right wing american protestant, and many who are. It shows a strong pornographic influence - many end in a blissful face dowsed in a baptismal money-shot.

    It’s meant to be used as a legitimate tool to evangelize. The worst christian lunatics leave these things in public, earnestly believing that after reading you’ll realize the divinely ordained truth that freemasons will all burn in hell along with blood-drinking rothschilds and D&D players.


  • Before anyone rushes to judgement about “suing ‘Call of Duty’”:

    Families of the Uvalde victims have filed a lawsuit against Daniel Defense, the makers of the AR-15 assault rifle, and Activision, the publisher of the first-person shooter video game series “Call of Duty,” and Meta, the parent company of Instagram, over what they claim was their role in promoting the gun used in the shooting.

    The suit alleges the companies partnered to market the weapon to underage boys in the games and on social media.

    They’re alleging the AR-15 maker, activision and meta played a role in aggressively promoting the gun to underage boys. This isn’t ‘video games caused columbine’. Stealth marketing guns to kids is maybe not great. Meta’s whole thing is shady intrusively targeted marketing. Everyone knows that Activision is capable of some truly scummy behaviour. I’m not 100% sold but that it seems worth hearing out to me.
