The Comedian Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I'm a little disappointed they didn't have the guts to include PC Witchhunters. But then if they did I guess Deadspin would have been barraged with claims of racism, sexism, and homophobia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Z Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Are bronies not a thing anymore or why are they excluded? I belong to at least 3 or 4 of those groups. Team Breezy? Are those fans of Tyler Breeze? If so, then maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Comedian Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Team Breezy is Chris Brown fans. It's a 21st century Hip-Hop thing. Lil Wayne = Weezy, Kanye = Yeezy, Drake = Dreezy, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Things I like, but don't evangelize for: Pitbull owner Cat owner Redskin name change Comic Fanboy Things I evangelize: Eta: As I said on Twitter the other day, the worst part about anything is the evangelical fans. The only things I will defend are Fred Rogers and (maybe) pre-9/11 Captain America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just terrible, Turns out there are only five groups I definitely belong to: - Dawkins-style hardcore atheists - Edward Snowden fans - Comic book fanboys - Video gamers and - "Prestige" TV fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I'm no fan of the 19 amendment, but what the fuck are men's rights activists? You know how every Christian who believes Christians are now "persecuted" in America invariably believes that because Christians (sometimes) lack the power to enforce their religious beliefs upon on others, and because people are free to mock Christians and Christianity without being stoned to death? That - Religion x about 5000% more misogyny = men's rights activists. I like the things you say. I wish I could get my minister cousin to understand this. Also, there is definitely a "rape culture" in America designed to blame the victims. Hell, there is a law in Michigan being pushed to force woment to buy "rape insurance". That should tell you all you need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kronos Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I grew up southern baptist in the 80's, and we were absolutely taught constantly about how the world hates us and wants us destroyed. Now that I belong to the Atheist/Antitheist grouping, I can recognize that maybe, just maybe people disliked us because were were self-righteous dicks.

Tabe Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Hell, I'll go first: Redskins Name Change People (If you disagree, you're a racist) What about Indian* schools, like some here in Spokane, that have "Redskin" as their name? Note: that should not be interpreted as some "black people call themselves the n-word, why can't I?" thing. * - Being in Spokane, I have had the pleasure of knowing many a person of Native American descent. Every single one has referred to themselves as "Indian". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Anyone who thinks Redskin is a fine name but who wouldn't dream of using that word when talking to or about an actual Native American person should suffer immediate brain explosure...unless they're, you know, a hypocrite and a bullshit artist. In that case their brain will remain intact...for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I think (assume, possibly) that Tabe is referring to a school on tribal land which has a mostly-or-entirely native student base that likes the name. If a school with Native American (I'll stick with calling them Native Americans the same way I don't push my luck with friends of black friends) students, faculty and administration want to keep the name, then I'm fine with that for them. Dan Snyder? Not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooseCannon Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Soccer fans will win just because they're an easy scapegoat for every other bracket. 'Murica.I think soccer fans are probably going to fall in the second round to Red Sox fans. As a lifelong Yanks fan, I suspect that the Bosox's historical perception of loveable incompetence will lose out to the fact that every one in America hates soccer. Everyone. Boston fans will win out, on account of most people in America not caring about soccer more than hating it. And Red Sox fans win out with 62.57% of the vote.

Ryan Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Curious if Cardinals will be able to beat out the BoSox. Should be quite the battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
