I might be misreading this, but the show isn't making his sexuality the contention point, it's the people commenting on the show online. It has been roughly 5 minutes total (I haven't counted tbh) they dedicate to him and Kyle.
In the show, it's his desire to be a healer and embrace Federation science that causes tension with his family. Of that, I'd argue his family was visibly more angry about him embracing the Federation.
My only hope is the writers are competent enough to see through the numerous subplots they're weaving in a way that isn't too handwavy or drag too many of them them out across seasons.
Since apparently no one else can give you a real answer, here you go: It's a relatively recent (dated 2018) photo from the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.
It's gotta be something that would blow apart their voter base if revealed. Something like all those big Evangelical leaders needed their own private jets because they were on their way to Epstein Island.
Another example that might be good is Baba Yetu, the Grammy-winning theme song from the game Civilization 4. Its lyrics are probably better known to people as the Lord's Prayer, just translated into Swahili.
I've referred to this as the death of the expert, apparently there's also a book similarly titled that covers the same concept.
I highly recommend anyone interested to look up Operation Mindfuck, how it worked and where some of the Discordians that took part ended up going later in their lives. I would also argue removing sources of authority like news organizations, or at least ruining their legitimacy, is a part of pushing the population towards chapel perilous.
As for the concerns about funding a news coop, I wonder if the relative success of Dropout tv would be a good model? The only other successful organization in an unsuccessful format I can think of is The Onion, but they had a major investor save them.
I no longer deal with spam calls all day long because they get routed to Google Assistant/Gemini first and the AI agent filters the call for me. It has been pretty great like 99% of the time, I fully expect Google to kill it somehow.
I'd rather bet they knew the dangers of it the entire time. It's pretty clear they WANT Jews in the rest of the world to feel unsafe where they are so that they consider migrating to Israel.
There was a moment in one of Bibi's previous terms when Israel was experiencing a massive brain drain primarily to Germany. He published a letter in response in (I believe) Haaretz basically trying to say Germany (and by extension the rest of the world) was horribly dangerous for Jews and only Israel could keep them safe. His administration has said something similar more recently, iirc.
I've found a few where it's like 1 back corner with some men's clothes in it. TJ Maxx immediately comes to mind.
Might also just be biased on seeing the sheer variety among clothes available (even if most of it doesn't sell) in the women's section and then getting to the men's and it's like stepping into Pleasantville.
The more modern form of modding with Forge had really matured by that point and people were testing the boundaries of what they could create with modpacks.
The following year saw the release of 1.7.10 as well as the acquisition by Microsoft and rounded off what was generally considered the golden age of modded Minecraft.
I think I understand the joke, but I've seen things from this point of view as well. Something happened during and after pandemic lockdowns that has led to absolutely unprecedented numbers of people going out and hiking what were previously really quiet trails. It was already tough maintaining them before, now you've got tons of people who don't bother to know the norms or understood rules of the parks.
Several parks near me have had to institute an admittance/ticketing program with reservations made a month in advance just to enter the trailhead lot because they're so overrun with people now. It's great that people are outside and enjoying a public resource, but maybe it's just a few too many people all at once?
I like to go back every now and then and play through some of the more creative WADs people made over time. It blows my mind there's even a working copy of Chex Quest with added content out there.
