Is that one of those comic books the religious nuts hand out on Halloween?
yes, they are called Chick Tracts
Well maybe if they didn't send their kid off dressed like a member of the Hitler youth they wouldn't have these issues...
Wait, this isn't just someone's fever dream?
Millions of these are getting printed every year.
Chick Tracts have successfully created a very real current of evangelical hostility vs. Catholics, Mormons, Jews, Muslims and other faiths, but especially against women, the poor, social liberalism, queerness, modernity, science, scepticism, atheism, freemasonry, and racial equality, but also rock music, D&D, the british, immigrants and (of course) Europe in general.
That's also true.
Those are unhinged! I like the Catholic/Jewish/communism conspiracy ones though.
The worst was "Lisa," where the father sexually abused his daughter, let's his friend rape her as well, gives her herpes, then blames it on a porn addiction and his wife being cold to him. Oh, and Jesus forgives him so there's no need to actually do anything with regards to his daughter.
My favorite are the satanic conspiracy ones. Like where there's literally a satan who is directing their devils and worshippers to lead people to commit sins.
My next favorite are the ones that are just telling people to believe in the christian god and to follow the christian moral code and that they will suffer eternally if they don't. These are occasionally moving.
The ones I dislike are the rest, which are mostly promoting bigotry against other religions or that have extremist views like you mention.
btw if you haven't seen it, check out the "Dark Dungeons" short film; it was made by some independent filmmakers who got Chick's permission to adapt one of the tracts. They play it (mostly) straight with just the right touches of satire, and it comes off beautifully:
(the video says "preview" but the full playlist is the full movie)
I just watched the first episode and I'm hooked. It's incredible. They so completely capture how RPGs make you so cool and popular.
Yeah when I played D&D in college it was just like that lol.
God’s Cartoonist is a good documentary if you want to learn more about Chick. He’s a mysterious figure, like as mysterious as Thomas Pynchon imho.
He’s a huge inspiration to the Subgeniuses. Subgenii? Either way, I sent my $30 to Bob and can’t wait for the flying saucers.
"Bob"
Eternal salvation - or triple your money back.
The flying saucers are supposed to be equipped with lasers and I think attractive aliens to have sex with.
Pretty sure they were saying this in the '90s. (Which is probably how old that HTML is.) It's very true now.
The aliens show up and the world is supposed to end July 5, 1998, but the Conspiracy has deceived us such that we don’t even know what year we are in now.
