If you're wondering what all the fuss is about I've just uploaded the track here. Fuck it. But...

FYI before you get all outrage she's the predator…

Eye contact like I mean war / READ: -I- contact like I mean war

Heels sharp, voice well-trained / She's armed & has a practised magic bewitching voice

Private’s where the claws are / She has literally has CLAWS

You’ll never know unless you try / She's baiting him, and not just for sex

I don’t dress up—I dissolve / She literally becomes -something else- when she wants to

Calm on the surface—beast in my mind / She is a monster beneath her human shell

I say yes too fast… and fuck too deep / It's a trap!

I'm your history… you can't clear me / She's going to cause him perm damage

Soft voice, darker needs / She has DARK needs

And I’ll whisper thanks while I feed / She's going to FEED from him, steal his glamour, she's FAE

Some people not very good at English lit and subtext huh?

Unpopular opinion: there is no bloody fatphobia in The Whale and people need to chill the fuck out.

For starters, good luck finding a decent-sized pool of 600 lb actors of that gender, appearance, acting abilities, who fits the part on an intrinsic 'vibes' level, etc to choose from. How many 600 lb actors do you think are out there, and available? And more importantly, people gotta realize how hard it is to do anything when you have that much weight! And filmmaking is stressful. Add the rigors of filmmaking and being on set constantly, and you have a recipe for disaster. Literally a liability. The production might not even get approved because there's such a big chance of something going wrong.

The film didn't even make fun of fat people or stigmatize it. Charlie was fat because he was sad, not the other way around. But being fat also made him miserable in some ways. That's just what happens with a lot of morbidly obese people. It's not fun to be that fat. The movie takes the subject matter seriously and it doesn't glamorize it.

So like, people gotta stop. They're just losing their shit as soon as they hear the words 'fat suit' and ascribing a negative judgment to that, then trying to find things that are wrong, like, gasp, someone having a bad time because they're morbidly obese, even though the logic behind their anger doesn't check out and it wouldn't even be SAFE for the actor if they did find one. But sure, hire someone with genuine morbid obesity of that extent.

Maybe when they die of heart failure two weeks into shooting, people will eat their words.

And yes, morbid obesity is dangerous. You literally can't be 600 lbs and be functionally healthy! The pressure all that extra weight puts on your organs alone is dangerous, your skeleton doesn't change to accommodate anything, your body is constantly under stress. If anyone denies this, it's super, super obvious they're in denial of just how big of a problem morbid obesity is. That part isn't an opinion, it's physics, it's science, it's reality. There are autopsy videos of morbidly obese people who donated their bodies for science. They show all the effects and explain them for educations sake. Go watch a few. Or go read some studies.

The Darker Side of Dungeons & Dragons

A blog about evil in the world.

I'm sure by now, most of you have heard the name "Dungeons & Dragons".  On the surface, it's a game of the imagination, governed by strict rules, and played with dice, maps, and miniatures.  Under the surface however, lies the allure of the occult, the temptation to escape from reality, and the desire for power.

It's played by taking the role of an elf, dwarf or other likewise creature from pagan mythology, determining their weaknesses and strengths using special dice, and questing for fame, money, and magical prowess.  This is facilitated by the aptly named "Dungeon Master", a person who tells the story in which the players are to act.

As though fantasizing, about conjuring fireballs and summon elemental spirits wasn't bad enough, the overriding goal of this game seems to be about exploring this or that fantasy world while killing as many monsters as possible.  This is rewarded with imaginary gold, weapons (conceivably for more killing), and "Experience Points", which once a player has enough, can add to their overall power within the occult-like game world.

Magic is an inextricable facet of the game.  Murdering with it, lusting after it, and hording it, end up being the primary ways in which magic is used in the game.  This brush with the occult can, and has had severe consequences for many people, but the game and it's creators have done little to dissuade this perspective of the game, even going so far as to name actual demons, and list their abilities and attitudes.

Use of the occult, depictions of demons and undead, scantily clad women, pagan gods, and the killing of anything or anyone in your way; all these things and more Dungeons & Dragons employs to tempt young and old minds alike away from reality.

There's no doubt that for the last few years, Dungeons & Dragons has become more normalized than it was in previous decades.  Many in "Hollyweird" have come out to say that they played the influential game when they were kids, and these announcements are usually followed by torrent of likes, shares and comments, all welcoming the celebrity into the fold.  It's a cult like attitude pervasive amongst the game's players.

Whatever the case may be, it cannot be said that fantasizing about killing, praying to pagan gods, and playing at black magic is at all normal for a healthy mind, and certainly it is not to be recommended.  As a parent, if your children play Dungeons & Dragons, it would be best to advise them of the pitfalls, and educate them as to how the game can influence them negatively.

In this series of articles, I will explore historical accounts of homicides wherein D&D was found to be a factor, the dangers of becoming involved with the game, and how role-playing video games differ in concept and intention from D&D.  I will also take a look at particular game publishers, and discuss how they add to or address the problems associated with role-playing games and the occult.

When Stranger Things sparked 1980s nostalgia, I didn’t realize it’d be bringing back 1980s Satanic Panic...
