So you're saying Harry would totally stop owning a person if it didn't have negative consequences for Harry?

Me when I'm a famous author who hates trans people and I decide to make the anti-slavery movement in my book a huge joke

Both of the characters in this meme own slaves.

I'm concerned about the definitions of some of the terms in these rules

  • What does it mean to be kind? Do you have to agree with everyone? Are you allowed to say the fuck word?

  • What does it mean to attack other people? Are we talking ad hominem, or is making an argument with a stern tone of voice an attack?

  • Where is the line between opinion and action drawn? Is it okay to attack people for driving cars? That's not an opinion, it's an action, and it kills people, but I have a feeling certain people would say no anyway

  • What is a double post? Do you mean repost or crosspost?

The BITE classification was invented in order to justify hatred of small religions, by taking a word that already had a meaning (cult) and attaching a second, pejorative meaning to it. It's like if I write a fantasy novel with a species of evil creatures called jews. Jew is already a word, and it's a horrific act of religious persecution to take a pre-existing word for marginalised religions and spin it into an unrelated negative.

No, cults are small religions, this is a big religion
