What’s this “14-yo’s are not adults” thing about

they drove emulator developer Near/Byuu to suicide. That’s someone who created BSNES / Higan (the first fully-accurate snes emulator), and helped with the fan translations for many games including mother 3.

If the world goes to shit but Kiwi Farms is destroyed, I will have a moticum of warmth in my blood.

This is not the reason why conservatives oppose gay marriage. Here are the reasons I can understand (though not necessarily agree with):

• having 1x mom and 1x dad is important because men and women provide different functions when raising a child, and children deserve to get both of these things.
• “marriage” is a religious thing, not a legal thing; maybe gay-“legally married” is fine, but religious congregations shouldn’t be forced to perform gay marriages as they go against their religion.
• the normalization of homosexuality will spread and convert more people to homosexuals/bisexuals and/or encourage people to come out of the closet. (I’m not exactly sure why this is a problem tbh.)

Are there other reasons that they have?

Yeah. And they probably view guns as a way of protecting children, too.

I see a lot of posts that just completely don’t understand the conservative mindset at all, and imagine that explaining things to them like one would explain things to a leftist is going to work. There’s just too much inferential distance for memes like this. Sigh :/
