No wonder Sorbo posts so much, it's the only place he has an audience.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 204 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

One correction for Sorbo: People weren't boycotting Chik-fil-a for "being christian". There are tens of thousands of businesses that are "christian". It was Chik-fil-a's large donations to homophobic groups and the president of the company at the time Dan Cathy (and current Chairman of the Board) making public homophobic statements.

Be whatever religion you want, but when you use your money and power to repress other people, that's where you earn a boycott.

To morons like Sorbo homophobia=Christianity.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 46 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I’d argue chic-fil-a is especially NOT Christian for refusing to love their neighbor as themselves.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'd suggest you take a look at the last millennium and a half of Christian history.

Bible god wasn't ambiguous about being pro slavery and women as property, or war, or genocide, or hardening hearts violating free will, or.

Also never speaks up to distance himself from the monsters using his name in vain.

Good christians never read the book.

I will similarly argue there was a WHOLE lot of bad done by folks labeling themselves as Christians during that time period.

I’m not a Christian, but I was raised as one and I know what I was taught goes in the face of most of all of the things they do.

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's because Christianity basically just exists to justify hating others.

The rules are all made up and the points don't matter. They're just a Christian as any other Christian I've ever met.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Bingo. Exactly why I won't eat there.

I don't think that man can go a month without self owning on social media

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I mean, this is a really old tweet. He's tweeted a lot of stupid shit, because he's a moron, but who knows if he's still tweeting self-owns? How would one even find out?

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 19 points 1 week ago

I presume the same way we found out about this one - finding a screenshot randomly reposted on social media.

[–] officermike@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Still posting a lot of stupid shit. Didn't scroll far enough to get to any self-owns.

Seems to get all his news from one site that has "conservative" in the title. His feed is quintessential "dumb con rage posting" so stereotypical you could train an AI on it

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Jesus that guy is a bigger piece of shit than I thought.

MRW I hear Kevin Sorbo speak or write anything since 1999 when Hercules wrapped.

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago

He's a gold mine for God Awful Movies. As is Kirk Cameron and David A. R. White.

I don't think Satan ever donated to organizations that support anti-lgbt groups.

[–] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 days ago

Satan's too busy running United Health.

Well, except for that one time he got sent home.

[–] Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Damn this guy is so stupid I had to look up "Satan Shoes" because I was sure he meant Satin Shoes...

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i thought he was talking about prada

[–] Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 13 hours ago

Nah that's a movie

Steve Hofstetter is a great comedian and has the best comebacks. He is wasted on this "explaining words to Kevin Sorbo"-series, there's no character growth, no shred of understanding, no positive character arc, Kevin just keeps mouth-shitting bullpucky every week and Steve or Lucy Lawless or a five year old have to explain to him that he's saying dumb shit.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Steve Hofstetter is a national treasure.

But Lucy Lawless teasing Kevin? That I have to see.

[–] Enkrod 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It's a whole thing she's been shooting down his shit-takes for years now.

The Systems Commonwealth truly has fallen.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago

This is partially my fault. When people started to boycott chick fillet I misheard their call to action and enacted a blockade upon their establishments. He must have seen one of the frigates I had patrolling in the parking lot and mistaken boycott for blockade.

(Context: Kratos is beating Hercules' face in and he was voice by Sorbo)

Kevin Sorbo was never intelligent to begin with

[–] deltapi@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The brain damage didn't help. It was after that when he went full red-hat

[–] TanteRegenbogen 2 points 6 days ago

Dude was already like that. Remember the crappy, dumb Christian films he's been apart of such as "God is not Dead" which completely misses the point of Nietzsche's statement.

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is it true his surname is really Sorbeaux but he kept misspelling it?

I'd like to say I boycott chick-fil-A because of the anti gay thing but its because I actually tried it awhile back and was like meh. Certainly not worth the price and that was way before the recent inflation times. Its the same with walmart. Wish it was prinicple but man even the parking lot triggers me. Actually being in the store is just hell.

[–] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I never got the whole Chick-fil-A thing. It's just a fast food chicken sandwich. It's good, as far as fast food chicken sandwiches go, but that's it. It's definitely not the orgasmically awesome food experience some people make it out to be.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I mean I have popeyes around here and no chain holds a candle to their offerings.

It's consistently good, and the service is second to none. Every other fast food place has some bad locations, or you show up at the wrong time and it's not fresh, the service is terrible, or the people working there are clearly just not trying.

Chick-Fil-A maintains consistency by limiting their hours and treating their employees better. Their ingredients are also top notch for fast food. Good salads.

And good soda fountains. Chick-Fil-A and Whataburger are the only two places left with good fountain Coke.

I still hate their politics, but there's a reason they've always got a line around the block at lunchtime, and it's not because the service is slow (because it isn't).
