The Eyes of Argus: Or Why I Took a Moral Stand Against Allowing An Article On Netflix's "Cuties" On All The Tropes

 One of my loves is the study of history, and George Washington, keenly aware of the responsibility he held as the first American President, remarked in regards to that responsibility that "the eyes of Argus are upon me", referring to the Grecian myth of a being with a hundred eyes. It was being aware of this prompted me to make a decision around September 11, 2020, to preemptively prevent the page "Cuties" from being created on All The Tropes. It was argued this was poorly considered, I should have asked for a vote on this, my fears were overblown, the substance of my fears was not a legal concern, and so on. I shall address those points and why I took the actions I did. 1. I won't lie, this was a decision made with a fair bit of moral indignation, but in my defense, if you AREN'T morally repulsed by child pornography, you are someone I don't want near the children in my family or anyone else's for that matter. That said, emotions aside, it was a sa...

Why I facepalm at sectarian squabbles within Christianity

 I write this because I have some friends who disagree on doctrine, theology, and so forth concerning Christianity. Some are Protestant, some are Catholic, some don't identify as anything in particular, but you can't swing a Bible without hitting half a dozen different Christians who all have a different perspective on the contents of the book in question. Fine, fair enough, we all have our own minds, expecting uniformity of opinion without mutual consensus is just not happening. However, where I facepalm to the point my hand has permanently creased my face are the types who are all "my way is the only way to properly honor God". Now, looking through the Bible, it seems there were many ways to glorify God, all of them praised by the Man Himself as valid. A craftsman was given approval by God for making the articles for the Tabernacle mentioned in the Books of the Law. God was immortalized in song and poetry by David, who, his faults aside, God was pleased with. David ...

Approaching the latter end of 2020, my take on the still ongoing USA riots

 It's been a while since I've written anything, and the still ongoing riots are still tearing up various cities where useless, incompetent, and often outright corrupt political figures are simping for the lawless. Given how long they've been going on and how they now exist to simply give people an excuse to keep burning, looting, and in some cases even murdering (I could care less about BLM's alleged legitimate stances, they don't care about the lives of blacks from where I'm sitting, all they do is burn, loot, and murder while cynically claiming black lives matter) That said, it's quite obvious any legitimate, moderate, civil, and most of all actually honestly interested in seeking civil redress individuals are NOT part of BLM and their joined at the hip lunatic brethren in ANTIFA. Not at this point, assuming they did exist originally. All that's left are the dregs of society, scum who want an excuse to be savages, and worst of all, the politicians and ...
