These types are kind of interesting to me. They're just conservative evangelical Christians freaking out about anything that offends their sensibilities, but they are also nu-athiest/gamergate backwash. So they are obsessed with games being "woke" but can't turn to religion as an easy crutch to explain why the things they are told to hate are bad. So instead of tying their sense of superiority to religion like most conservatives like them, they have to tie it to themselves being "smart" and smart people Fucking Love Science, therefore "the science" says that gay bugs are sin.
I know a guy like this and after something like 2 decades of being a reddit atheist he caved and accepted being a "christian"
One of the most repugnant bigots I've ever personally met also followed this course
it is known
gotta appreciate the honesty, at least
yeah a family member is like this, as soon as the chud youtubers told them to be "Christian" they suddenly went to church (they don't do it frequently though, lmaoo)
Pop sci slop on social media was actually so detrimental for people. A mix of NDT wow so deep quotes about the universe and a bunch of "this kid made a fusion reactor in a jar with duct tape" content really made everyone think they were some kind of brain genius.
It’s a work in process, but I assure you. With every read of “lol fascism good because I’m smart and therefore I want to play god” bullshit I read online, I feel my misanthropic superiority complex fading one shudder at a time.
“I’m smart” is literally used as a license to shut down critical thinking. It’s ridiculous.
A lot of the old big names of ‘new atheism’ do exactly the same thing. They’re all ‘culturally Christian’ these days.
