If Fox News does a smear piece on you or your company or your favorite thing, wear it as a badge of honor. Some dopes thought they could troll their fans and paint you into some ugly corner but they imagined it all on their own.

Don't backpedal. Don't apologize for how they interpreted you. Just say "I guess they didn't like the thing but lots of other people do" and move on.

@mathowie Yes! This.

Pre-Internet, these people could write a letter to the editor of their local newspaper, and that was it.

Today, some guy thinks a piece of popular culture doesn't bow down to their favorite religion, and it's a global news story.

@mathowie i'd love to extend this further; i'd also love everyone to stop caring about what *anyone* says about things

my opinion is this: opinions in and of themselves are not newsworthy and NEVER HAVE BEEN

+1 for using 'bad faith' referring to right wing christians 😇

"“Where to hide a revolver when you’re completely naked?” he sang, pointing down to his groin. “I know where you’re thinking. But that’s not a good idea.”

“No more rich and poor when you go back to being naked. Yes,” Katerine continued."

I dislike the Olympic games for many reasons, mostly having to do with the IOC being a grift organization par excellence that cons countries into wasting billions on spectacle that could be much better spent elsewhere.

But the outrage in response to a drag show has made me dislike the Paris Olympics slightly less than usual.
