Brigham Young was a warlord active during the late Edo Period, who is notable for having never accepted rule by the Tokugawas. He is remembered today for his embrace of sonnō jōi principles, and he utilized both armed resistance and cultural initiatives such as the "Deseret Alphabet" (untranslatable) to resist westernization.

The on-the-ground reality of the situation was less "god said this is chill now," and more "there's no rule that says a dog can't play basketball!"

See, the whole caffeinated sodas thing was never actually doctrine. "Hot drinks" were prohibited, and every official statement from church leadership made it clear that that meant coffee and tea. They pointedly never explained *why*, so lots of people just assumed it was because of caffeine and further assumed that all non chocolate caffeine was also tainted with sin. This culminated in Gordon Hinkley's televised interview with Larry King, where he, in the closest thing to an official endorsement of this position, agreed with a statement from King that mormons don't drink soda.

The "overturning" of this precedent never had any official announcement or comparable public moment. Rather, the next guy in charge, Thomas Monson, simply hadn't given a fuck about what Hinkley had implied, and had simply enjoyed drinking his Dr. Peppers the entire time.

So like, it's obvious to me reading the comments on my post that anti-porn people are largely like, afraid of porn. Like the concept of a sex video is really spooky to them. They're not making thoughtful critiques of the porn industry, which is genuinely a really fucked up industry, they're mostly just spooked by the concept of a sex video and what it could Do To You If You See It.

I said this in another post, but it's like, the difference between "a ton of coffee is produced using slave labor" (valid, important criticism of the coffee industry) and "coffee turns people into raving coffee addicts who forget how to interact with anyone because they're so obsessed with their coffee" (objectively not true, insane viewpoint).

It's literally just sex videos. They really cannot hurt you.

Any society whose primary cultural exports are lovingly overegineered board games and fantasy authors is going to be kind of weird. Mormons also seem to possess an uncanny ability to consistently hold random opinions that only ever show up when someone else is trying to come up with an outrageous-sounding fake belief that no sane individual could actually hold.

You make a solid point, but I can't help but find it extremely funny that both the viewpoint you are directly criticizing and the hypothetical belief you are using as a rhetorical device to demonstrate how self-evidently stupid that viewpoint is have resulted in you inadvertently describing an extremely average Mormon.

The healthiest way to have an ideology is to have very specific niche understandings of common terms, and then respond hyperagressively defensive whenever someone asks you what you mean.

went to an elementaryschool musical production and they started the show with the director saying: "Now there's some very small viewers here today, so just so you know. There will be a scary character later in the show. This is her," and a girl in a kinda scary ghost outfit did a creepy walk across the stage, the stood up straight and did a cheery wave, "but remember, it's just Nina. She's pretending to be scary."

Aaaand i would very much like for horror movies to have that as a little bonus feature you can chose. Let me start a movie with Guillermo del Toro showing me a scary ghost that might jump at me, but don't worry, thats just Doug!

It's kind of funny how often time travel stories involve needing to best Jack the Ripper anytime a character finds themselves in Victorian England. Imagine doing this with any other time period. Every time someone visits the 70s, they have to outwit Ted Bundy and then defeat him in hand-to-hand combat.
