EPISODE 117 | Stay Awake – The Wokeness Issue In a classic example of the weird mirror world days we are currently moving through, a term used by Black people to mean one thing has been turned by opportunists into something totally different.  So, let's look at the origin of the term "woke", how it's been used, African-American Vernacular English (AAVE), the Black Lives Matter movement, Defund the Police, and the appropriating of the word by those who see more personal profit in keeping us all divided.

On our latest no-holds-barred episode, we plunge into the thicket of viral contention that's got even the atheist community growling. Women are weighing in – would they rather chance an encounter with a burly bear or a potentially menacing man in the forest's shadows? The answer might claw at the fabric of perceived safety and gender dynamics.Join us as we dissect the social media storm that has everyone from TikTok teens to seasoned skeptics picking sides. We're not just growling about the threat of bears here; we're exposing the uncomfortable truth behind the fear of male violence that haunts many women – a fear so potent, it's sparked a debate as wild as the creatures in question.As atheist podcasters, we pride ourselves on reason and facts, but let's not kid ourselves – empathy has its place, especially when unpacking the societal scares that have women choosing grizzlies over guys. So, if you're ready for a ferociously smart take on sexism, safety, and the animal instincts of social commentary, hit play. Just be warned: this forest of discussion is dense with insight, and we're not tiptoeing around anyone's delicate sensibilities.Bear with us, it's going to be a wild ride.Links discussed in episode:File 770"Two More Con Code of Conduct Complaints Go Public"https://file770.com/two-more-con-harassment-complaints-go-public/Steve Shives"Man or Bear Discourse Might Feel Familiar to Atheists"https://youtu.be/Z-2QRZAuZpI?si=Iou_g7KuGledPHDARebecca Watson"About Mythbusters, Robot Eyes, Feminism, and Jokes"aka #ElevatorGatehttps://youtu.be/uKHwduG1Frk?si=nWLO6jeJBiCBkOKz-----------------------------------------------Join us on DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zKNOW hosting LIVE episodes every Monday and Wednesday night on YouTube and Twitch!**Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sacreligious_discourse**YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5rpfCzaWhEaP198xgY7CFw Join Acast+ to enjoy our podcast adfree! https://plus.acast.com/s/sacrilegiousiscourse.

EPISODE 108 | Swiftboating Redux: Taylor Swift Derangement Syndrome She's the most successful pop star today, yet some people seem to suffer brain meltdowns when thinking about Taylor Swift. Call it TDSD, Taylor Swift Derangement Syndrome, and it takes hold especially in MAGAmaniacs, Trumpeteers, Trad Chads and broflakes.  Tracing the conspirasphere's treatment of Swift along with her career and life, including Kanyegate and the Masters Dispute, shows some interesting connections as TDSD spreads far and wide, outpaced only by her own wildly popular musical output.

EPISODE 106 | Suffer the Children – Pizzagate, Wayfair & the Seeds of QAnon "Without a clear indication of the author's intent, it is difficult or impossible to tell the difference between an expression of sincere extremism and a parody of extremism." In the world of the internet, this is known as Poe's Law, and it's especially applicable to the weird narrative Gordian Knot known as Pizzagate. The adage applies not just to how absurd some beliefs are, but also to the arguments made by people who hold these beliefs. First formulated in 2005 by Nathan Poe, it builds on a 2001 quote by Alan Morgan called Alan's 2nd Law of Newsgroups, which states, “Any sufficiently advanced troll is indistinguishable from a genuine kook.” And that is certainly the case for the wild story that “a hipster-heavy pizza parlor” (as they put it on their website) in the Chevy Chase neighborhood of Washington D.C. is not just a fun family place with pizza, ping pong and live music, but the nerve center for an diabolical child trafficking ring that operates out in the open because they are protected by highly-placed pedophiles in the Democratic party. As an article on Cracked.com puts it, “This is supported by lots of very stupid evidence”. The stakes of the fake narrative are so high that it's become more than just true believers review bombing the place. Workers have been harassed and, on December 4, 2016, a heavily armed man entered the restaurant and started firing guns. The story of Pizzagate is the story of how the conspirasphere went from harmless kookery to being actually, physically dangerous. TRIGGER WARNING: Some pretty disturbing things will be talked about in this episode, so if the subject of child sexual abuse and trafficking is deeply uncomfortable for you, perhaps you should not listen. I mean, it should be uncomfortable to anyone, but you know what I mean. Like what we do?

Welcome to Lowbrow! Your cheat-sheet to big pop-culture moments from the perspective of two women 25 years apart. This week, like every year, the Met Gala has taken over our feeds and minds. But back in 2014, it wasn't the fashion that dominated the headlines. Instead, everyone was talking about music's power couple, Beyonce and Jay Z, as well as Bey's younger sister Solange, and some leaked footage of her physically fighting her brother-in-law. This episode, Em explains to Holly exactly what happened in that elevator. One story, two generations, so much WTF. CONTACT US Feedback? We’re listening!

EPISODE 40 | When Nerds Attack - Gamergate, Elevatorgate & Sad Puppies A short late night chat in an elevator becomes a flashpoint in a storm of online misogyny; a woman has to hide because she dares critique the depiction of women; a relationship ends, sparking off a campaign of hate against women that lasts for years, and not even the venerable Hugo Awards are safe from the spreading #onlineslimemold. And then the racists get in on the action. You'd think the realms of atheism, video games and science fiction would be immune to online nonsense, but you'd be very, very wrong. Even there, aggrieved men weaponize the internet to try and "take back" something that was really never theirs in the first place. Along the way the #slimemold will use doxxing, swatting, spite charities and other tools to lay the foundations of the modern alt-right, QAnon and the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol.
