People like RazorTwink and Melonie Mac are the reason a whole generation of people in the 100 years noped away from Christianity. I personally think, based on my historical study, that a lot of it was due to infiltrators in the Church who deliberately created scandals to debase the faith.
It's less infiltrators and more just complete morons that didn't get kicked out thanks to how decentralized the faith is now. Any moron can just claim they speak for God and spew out low-IQ takes and pretend that God told them to. It's not like the Roman or Medieval Church where they actually policed that shit and silenced anyone who preached out of line.
RazorTwink and Melonie Mac are the type who are cartoon versions of Christianity. And they do a lot of damage to the rest. They must be called out.
They're our version of the 1980s moral majority types who drove the youth of Gen X and the Millennials to become hardcore atheists and God-haters when they grew up in the 2000s.
As for Styx boy, well... I didn't care for the source of his beliefs because he was apparently hard-working and pulled himself up by the bootstraps and was on his way to becoming a responsible family man. Then everything went to shit and he is utterly rudderless. His videos "Having self-control" and "Practicing the occult requires self-control" (his exact words when he was calling out fake occultists in Hollywood) become a joke in that light.
Styx dipping his head into the occult was warning # 1 for me. Christopher Lee, a man whose wisdom is only eclipsed by his acting talent, said that getting into the occult will not only destroy your mind, but your soul.
SIDENOTE: By the way, I appreciate your historical/theological perspective on things, and the fact that you share it like a grown up, not some acne-riddled retard with daddy issues saying "faggot faggot" like a lot of people do, thinking they are so edgy (these people wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes on the internet of the late 90s). Do feel free to correct me anytime or educate me. I might disagree with you here and there, but I'll definitely consider it in good faith. You've earned that.
The benefits of actually going to school and studying theology and religious history for years; it's something that many people in the Christian Right today, Razorfist included, sorely lack. The reason why his assertion that First Descendant is "spiritually caustic" doesn't jive with me is because what he calls spiritually caustic, is just a reflection of human attractiveness and beauty, which in itself, is a gift from God. If that's spiritually caustic, then something like Baldur's Gate 3, where you have sex with demons, gays, and animals, or the 1990s CRPGs like Ultima 8, where you use demonic magic, would be way more spiritually damning than anything First Descendant ever had.
This is why I don't take Razor's word when he preaches that something goes against God. I actually studied that stuff, and believe you me, Korean gooner bait is far from it. Otherwise, if it was, the Christian Church would have burned down the entire western comic book industry, since in the decades before the SJWs got to it, damn near every female character was built like a supermodel. Something like First Descendant or Marvel Rivals aren't exactly unique when they portray women as supermodels. All it does is show that Razor, aside from being a very recent convert to the faith, is completely uneducated in it and is just going off on what some internet talking heads are saying.
Everybody goons. We all do. It's called appreciating attractiveness. The key is to not be holier-than-thou about it. Accept your fallibility. Don't go overboard. Don't make it your life. It's not that tough to maintain balance.
I always saw it as weird that people attack gooners. I mean, if you grew up in the 1980s and 1990s, or even the 2000s, you'd have seen more than your fair share of attractive ladies in cartoons, movies, and even in video games. Hating on people who appreciate that is like, hating on people for drinking, which yes, American purtianism did back in the 1920s.
By the way, has anyone noticed how, at the same time he started proclaiming himself as a devout Christian, he started comparing his story to the life-arc of Alice Cooper. "Son of a pastor, got into heavy metal, then professing his faith, and becoming more based than ever."
Razor wants to fit his character into a mold and boast about it. Yet today, not that many people give a shit about Alice Cooper. Ask Gen Z or Gen Alpha who that is, and they'd respond to you with a blank stare.
I'm not. The guy himself is a walking fanfic (just like his books) of many personalities - someone who has without ANY self-awareness lectured people in MANY livestreams to "go and have an original personality".
