This is absolutely on brand. Can’t trust these companies to do what’s right.

    …featuring popular performer “Peaches Christ…”

    There is is a difference between being edgy and…whatever that name is an attempt to project. I love people. All people. Couldn’t give a rat’s ass if you want to cross dress or sleep with your own gender. So, how about we drop the attempts to make a name for ourselves -with the intention of getting under people’s skin. Google did the right thing here, IMHO.

        Which is funny because so many of them love to defend comedy shitting on others and claiming anything goes in comedy. Like my step-dad loves joked about other religions, but got angry when I was younger and we rented Dogma. Absolutely refused to watch it.

        Taking offense because a company decided to not host a drag show is a bigger sign of fragility.

          If we ignore the sequence of events and our countries history they would more or less be equal.

          But since we can look at the sequence of events and our countries history, no.

      If you are getting this upset and offended by “Peaches Christ…” By those words. By a silly pseudonym of a performer… Maybe it’s time to reevaluate your life, and what you consider important.

      Are you also offended by the title “Jesus Christ Superstar”?

      I’m not sure how many Drag Queens you’ve seen perform but having an attitude is part of the gig.

      If you find the name Peaches Christ edgy or provocative, that’s a you problem. A name like that harms no one.

      with the intention of getting under people’s skin

      Christians get to go around tell everyone that some people are abominations, pedo-groomers and are going to hell yet they get pissy when you call them on their shit or make the tiniest joke. Fuck that. I wish her name was Reach-Around Christ. More atrocities have been committed in the name of religion than ANYTHING in the history of man.

      So let me expand on this. I, myself, am not ‘sensitive’. However, I am keenly aware that the weaker in faith may be.

      There exists (on both sides) a host of those who have no ability to lead with love - and resort to ruling with the rod.

      Get some perspective. The people who do horrific things in the name of (insert god’s name here) are just the proverbial ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing’. Attack the awful person(s) - not the faith that they attempt to shame.

      Giving people a taste of their own medicine is an aggressive approach. I was just suggesting that if you want dialogue - and not dumpster fire - be respectful to each other.
