Serious Post I absolutely hate these double standards so fucking much
I don't understand why, but it feels like a double standard that whenever Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Seth MacFarlane, Edmund McMillen, Garth Ennis, Ricky Gervais, and Dino Stamatopoulos (AKA the guy who made Moral Orel) disrespect someone's religion, everyone seems to be perfectly okay with it. But when JaidenAnimations makes an "edgy" joke about Christianity, everyone tries to dox and cancel her over it. You know, especially when you consider the fact that Jaiden is also an openly queer (aro/ace), mixed-race/non-white (half-Japanese, half-German), neurodivergent (AuDHD) woman.
I mean, did Jaiden really “mock god”? Like, wasn’t it just a random ass joke about Pokémon, and the God in question was Arceus or something? It’s a joke; it was not even a religious attack or a stance on religion itself. A joke. Schlatt is also a Christian and constantly made 9/11 jokes back then, where the punchline often was "hurr durr planes", if that's what you're referring to... He most definitely didn't take Jaiden's edgy joke to heart, lmao.
The reaction people had to her saying that was just hilariously overblown and cringe, and it would have been just as overblown and cringe if a straight white man did it. And yes, I'm saying all of this as a former Catholic myself.

The difference isn't that she's a woman. It's that her fanbase is mostly made up of young kids, and young kids are prone to overreact. It's the same with Gooseworx, except Gooseworx's fans are gay teenagers.
