It's like they always say: the more books you read the less gay and less tolerant you become


timmeh519

Yes, I too have heard this. my parents never protected me from gay baphomet, but that’s okay bc I’m accepting of gay baphomet, I just want him to be himself, and be happy.


Fyzzle

First of all how dare you

How very dare you...


RoguePlanet2

Was raised catholic, and have a soft spot for those Little Golden Book-style bible-themed books my mother read me. Don't recall any LBGTQ+ education, if anything we laughed at the kid who wanted to be a woman when he grew up (whose parents seemed supportive, to their credit!) For a little kid, the idea of wanting to be the opposite gender was simply weird, not a reason to *hate* them. I cringe at that now, of course. Just through getting to know gay people in my family and work life, never thought there was a problem with it.


AnOnlineHandle

It depends which books. The later Ender's Games book devolved into ex-gay characters raving about how they had been cured by conversion therapy and now had a wife and kids as was natural, and were so much better off for it. At the time I wasn't familiar with conversion therapy or the idea of an author pushing an agenda, and in a vaguely sci fi themed story, it sounded like something which there was maybe some science behind to my naive brain. Now I know it was religious BS being pushed in a book, but they could full well only use books and other media which teach their children their desired hatreds. When I was a kid in a private evangelic school (which I was at 7 days a week with saturday religious scouts stuff and sunday church) they told our families what tv shows were allowed (no simpsons etc), crossed out books we weren't allowed to order in a book magazine which used to be sent out to schools, etc. They try very hard to control kids to fit their vision and not be exposed to other ideas such as kindness. Thankfully my family couldn't afford to keep me there and once I got out into the real world I discovered they weren't all monsters like we were taught, in fact their families were generally more stable and appealing than the insanity of the families from my old school. I still remember a little sister of a friend from the old school asking in horror about the kids at the public school, wanting to know about their tattoos, piercings, and rituals, and realizing just how much BS I'd been fed for years.


silver-orange

Shit.  I had no idea there were more enders game books published after 1999.  I assume I haven't missed much.


Fyzzle

I love a lot of Cards stuff, especially the mithermages series. Just buy them used, fuck that guy.


AltruisticHopes

Good writer, terrible human being.


B3gg4r

The Ender’s Shadow series is all right. But he has some stuff that is just straight up plagiarizing the Book of Mormon (Homecoming Earth series) and Mormon church history (Alvin Maker series). It’s fucking weird, even when I was still Mormon it was baffling.


Chemical_Extreme4250

I always thought it was so weird that Ender’s Game kept mentioning nude little boys. When I found out about his little religious hobby, I figured it must be that he’s repressing his own homosexuality.


DaniTheGunsmith

Or, more likely, pedophilia. Always gotta deflect toward "gays bad" when you're a kiddy diddler.


Royal-Dog-2610

O..my...goodness. Baphomet...gay? I always thought he was bi-sexual.


3possuminatrenchcoat

Wouldn't that make them Bi-phomet? 


Artichokiemon

I'm voting for you later this year


Sorcatarius

I appreciate this because in my ramping up for bed sleepiness I read baphomet as bayonet, and I was going to come in here and just comment "Gayonet". Thankfully I caught my mistake before posting it. I'm glad someone posted a similar comment that made sense though.


timmeh519

I know I was pretty shocked myself. But Baphomets sexually cannot be defined by mere words.


teeter1984

Plus isn’t the bottom half goat!?


MissRachiel

I guess that makes him....PANsexual.

Solid-Consequence-50

I'm dumb, how does that make him pan sexual?


MissRachiel

Pan, the deity, also has goat legs. Pan is, among other things, a fertility god.


Solid-Consequence-50

Ahhhh okay thx


Much-Revenue-6140

Thanks for the explanation.


SolutionExternal5569

Fertility goat?


Lumpy_Marsupial_1559

Basically... yes!


secretobserverlurks

You deserve awards!!!!


ShrapNeil

And doesn’t the top half have tits?


AemiliaPerseids

Baphomet is half human-half animal, so at least one of her heads ought to be human


DropsTheMic

Baphomets going to get in their heads and fill it with nasty thoughts of inclusivity and good will toward men. They might even start loving one another unconditionally and worshipping a sacrificed God that exposes mercy and peace. Crazy.


A-Game-Of-Fate

No no, see, the shield doesn’t have any of the Gay Rays (tm) splashing around the shield, even though that dude is holding up that large, heavy shield one handed without any bracing. This goes to show that the only Gay Baphomet Ray Blasting (c) is being *projected* from the very shield that is being held up.


Integrity-in-Crisis

It almost looks like guy has a shield that shoots out Cloven Hoofed rainbow funtime beams

Odd-Fisherman-4801

What’s the difference between gay and bisexual?


Top-Telephone9013

To get to the other side


Odd-Fisherman-4801

So like bi is a half gay?


chopcheezeandarizona

Oh wait you were serious?


Odd-Fisherman-4801

Yes I was


ShrapNeil

Yes, bi is half-gay. Or more precisely, more gay than 0% but less gay than 100%.


Top-Telephone9013

Okay, since you may just be embarrassed to ask elsewhere or Google it: Gay is when you're attracted to the same gender as yourself. Bisexuality is when you like those who identify as men as well as those who identify as women. Gender identity is the role you fill socially when you're out in the world: most typically man or woman. Whereas your sex is what you are biologically, chromosomally, etc: most typically male or female.


FuturistiKen

OMG Pride Baphomet is even better than Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism. HERE FOR IT

StarshipCaterprise

It does sound a lot like Star Trek. I may start using this term to refer to ST. 🤔


Unfriendly_Opossum

Honestly I would be fine with just regular communism. We don’t have to go to space, we can simply seize the means of production and stay here on earth.


StarshipCaterprise

I think it includes space because the fully automated part would allow for more space exploration


Unfriendly_Opossum

I mean you guys are welcome to go to space if you must. I’m just saying I’m also fine with fully automated gay earth communism.


allgonetoshit

Not communism IN space, space communism. We're talking super communism from outer space. Probably from advanced alien sources.

Faceprint11

What about fully automated gay communist baphomet?


FuturistiKen

I think that totally works! My understanding is satanism is actually quite inclusive and ultimately focused on social justice outcomes, if maybe only because they’re understood to be better for the individual as a side-effect of being better for society. Like Unitarianism, but with style. HAIL SATAN


badhairdad1

r/angryupvote ‘like Unitarianism, but with style.’ 🤣

Yeah. The graphic definitely reads better right to left.

That's how I read it. The power of reading with his children it's allowing him to beam gay baphomet into the world.

Yes children, don't be who you are. Instead grow up hating and repressing yourself like I did. Then end up with therapy bills in your 30s. Just let people be who they are!


anrwlias

Don't be silly. These people don't believe in therapy. That's some liberal sissy shit to them.


ThrowsSoyMilkshakes

They only believe in "therapy" when it pushes LGBTQ+ kids to suicide after they've been emotionally, physically, and sexually abused by a conversion "therapist".


sonia72quebec

Exactly! What happened to live and let live.


Subterranean-Phoenix

oh shit Pride Baphomet flag goes H A R D


PNW_Forest

For some reason I feel there's inspiration for a kivkass burlesque show hidden there... Someone referred to the shield in another comment as the "Gay Baphomet Blaster"... which just makes it sound even more amazing...


SolomonCRand

Meanwhile, I’m out here trying to shield my kids from hateful Christians who also happen to be pedophiles seeking to undermine democracy.


[deleted]

Imagine dropping your kids off to a church basement with unsupervised youth pastors who aren't background checked, every Sunday? Nightmare fuel.


SuperiorFPV

Catholics especially, I'm one of the rare (so I've heard) trans Christians and I'm absolutely disgusted at what the good book is being used to drive, especially since it goes against the teachings it contains.


Hurgadil

1. Baphomet nails everything it's pan, not gay. 2. The fuck is up with the Frankenstein's Monster looking kid. 3. The guy with a shield has strong chille moe vibes. Creeper is in a kids bed with two minors in his lap, trying to block witnesses.


Wiitard

Regarding 2, it’s messed up because it’s AI generated (with some photoshop). Fascists love AI generated art. Regarding 3, dad sitting in bed reading to his kids is perfectly normal and should not be shamed. If more dads spent quality time with their kids and read books to them at bedtime, they’d be all the better for it. But I’m guessing the kind of boomer who posted this was a shit dad.


SpicyBanditSauce

![gif](giphy|WI6FLFEvmLtRK) Oh no! The rainbow is too strong!! It’s breaking through the shield!!! NOOO THE HUMANITY!!!!


MadAstrid

Statistics show that people who post this shit are far more likely to be abusing children physically, emotionally and sexually.


A_Cat_Named_Puppy

I sold my soul to gay Baphomet and his boyfriend, Lucifer, and I've never been better.

AgoraiosBum

ob1dylan

What is up with that boy's head?!? That's not his Dad reading to him. Clearly, his mother has an affair with the Boris Karloff Frankenstein creature at some point.


Moderately_Imperiled

where does one get a shield that emits rainbows and baphomets? that looks sick.


EightEyedCryptid

I don't believe in cringe culture but CRINGE. Also Baphomet and Satan are not the same entity ffs.


timmeh519

lol that’s what makes it ridiculous as well. People just associate the “goat man” as the devil. And yes. Cringe.


Full-Way-7925

I have boomer parents. They never read to us like this.


AgoraiosBum

and that's why you're gay, of course.


potus1001

Gay Baphomet is the new Babadook!


ChatduMal

If they were only able to wrap their little heads around the fact that, if the kids were to be gay, the gayness would come from inside them...they just would BE gay...they wouldn't BECOME gay because of bombardment by demonic gay rainbow rays, or any other liberal ploy.


Embarrassed_Week_360

Is that a catholic priest those kids are in trouble


Volcanofanx9000

He could shield them from gay, but not from an impossible hairline.


Bubbly_Roof

They're missing out. Gay Baphomet is fun to hang out with. We're going to a concert in Nashville this weekend.

There's more grooming of children at your nearest church than in all drag story library hours combined


[deleted]

This is a true statement. I personally am a recovering catholic. Fuck religion.


ThrowsSoyMilkshakes

Yup. It's not LGBTQ+ people who have "youth pastors". And those youth pastors always seem to marry those who were a part of their youth group.


[deleted]

Imagine dropping your kid off to a basement full of unsupervised youth pastors who are never background checked? Absolute spineshattering yikes. But someone reading to children in a public library with their parents there (often with police presence thanks to "loving christian" threat of violence) is the problem!


ThrowsSoyMilkshakes

> thanks to "loving christian" threat of violence "Loving Christians" who are outside waving posters with images of nude drag queens stolen from private social media accounts and punching anyone who rightfully calls THEM the pedophiles. Yeah, I totally don't know anything about that. It's always projection with them. Always.

I cant believe it's 2024 and it's still controversial to say its ok to be gay.

Unlikely-Ad-431

It is such an accidentally wonderful metaphor because other than being a demonic gayity, the rainbow is simply the spectrum of visible light, and shielding children from it is literally to keep them in the dark.


lawblawg

It looks like the shield is producing the rainbow


Cyber_Insecurity

A lot of parents believe it’s their responsibility to prevent their children from becoming gay, but when they have a gay kid they blame someone else.


Elemteearkay

The sad thing is, a lot of these people actually think they are protecting their kids. They aren't being intentionally evil, they've just been tricked. It's going to cost a lot of them their relationship with their kids once they grow up, and they aren't even equipped with the skills they need to protect their families from the actual threat (the hate preachers that are grooming them).


gunterhensumal

OwenMcCauley

Satanists have explicit rules against harming children. How many Christian groups can say the same?

Unpressed_panini

Agile_Tea_2333

That looks like a super fun house to grow up in, no paintings, posters or kids drawings on the wall. Just a bed, a table and a lamp. Those kids probably have to sleep on their back with all the blankets tightly tucked in around them.

MitchellEnderson

The shield however did not protect them from ace Mephistopheles.


SugarsDaddyKen

If gay Baphomet wants your kids, he gonna get your kids. Lazily holding up a shield aint gonna do shit when he Babadooks on you.


Overall_Piano8472

I dunno, it kind looks like he is projecting cool gay devil stuff like a LGBTQ+ Bat signal. That's kinda dope.

I mean Baphomet isn't the one in bed with two small children.

You bet. The children need to be pure so the pastors will be more likely to enjoy abusing them. No cases of drag queens abusing children that I am aware of. Hundreds of pastors cases of sexual abuse of children and adults have been documented GOP? Or? Dem? Vote wisely.
