   Proposition: convince these people that toiletries — toothpaste, deodorant, toilet paper, soap — are gay and trans and woke, until they wind up looking and smelling like the newscasters from Batman after the Joker poisons stuff with Smilex.

     @riskymanag3ment @Popehat there is a substantial subset of what i'll charitably call 'men' that are already refraining from wiping too thoroughly *or* washing the area with any diligence because approaching the general ass region might give them The Gays

     @Popehat Showering and using deodorant for men removes the natural smells from the body. It's totally gay and woke to use them.

     @Popehat Did you see the even more unhinged follow-up tweet? What is wrong with this guy.

     Only when the sheer ridiculousness of their reactions finally hits home, will they find an off ramp. This happened to Joseph McCarthy

     @Popehat I was hoping we could persuade them to refuse to use Arabic numerals, and go back to Roman numerals as Western civilization demands.

     @Popehat Only tangentially related, but I've been wondering when the right will realize that "employees must wash hands before returning to work" in restaurant bathrooms is basically the same logic as wearing masks to reduce the spread of COVID... and conclude that we should just have more fecal-oral disease transmission. (I'm for less transmission.)

     @Popehat The venerable NY Post calls him a “conservative strategist”. I worry about their strategy - Chick-Fil-A appointed the guy to the DEI position in November 2021, so I don’t know why Joey decided today was the day to freak out about it🙄

     @Popehat this is esp hilarious given how utterly ineffectual most corporate "DEI" efforts are

     Weirdly, dispelling the myth that Chik-fil-A uses pickle brine to make their chicken taste good (it's MSG) has been more effective at making my crunchy evangelical friends/family weird on CfA than anything about their moral positioning.

     I would also accept them softening their stance on MSG as a win.

     @clacke oh no, it's just the evangelicals in my extended family's orbit are almost all invested in nutrition, alternative health, natural...everything and anti-vax way before the pandemic. I'm sure there's a nexus of bodily and spiritual purity that I'm not quite wrapping my head around, but MSG is definitely verboten.
