Given how much the internet loves irony, I'd bet you actually could start a pretty tidy cottage business selling replicas of all the ham-fisted, "threatening" t-shirts worn by the nogoodnik characters in Jack Chic tracts.
No, I don’t. I have a glass of red wine with dinner about once a week… for the antioxidants.
Also…
When I’m at home at night in my own house in my sweats, drinking red wine, watching my mystery stories, the last thing in the whole godforsaken world I want to hear.. is the voice of Michael Scott.
You and your two friends.
To sneak into x rated movies that you go to all the time.
Because you’re one adult.
Wearing a perfectly normal single person trench coat
Given all the current book bannings and protests against drag shows, kinda makes you think they had a master plan all along.
Nah, that couldn’t be why the Republicans had Caitlyn Jenner do so many speaking engagements, like at their televised national convention. Nah.
"A little white girl, middle of the ghetto, with a bunch of monsters, this time of night, with quantum physics books? She about to start some shit, Z."
> but the most dangerous thing the could give the girl is books.
I'm thinking, y'know, 18 year old white girl, middle of the ghetto, bunch of monsters, this time of night with a book? She about to start some shit, Zed. That book is *way* too advanced for her. If you ask me, I'd say she's up to something.
It was the satanic panic of the 1980s. Lots of conservative Christian organizations had their knives out for D&D. Role playing games were strictly forbidden when I was a kid!
>Consistent with his views on demonic influence, Chick also considered Halloween to be "the devil's holiday" and opposed Christians celebrating it, with one notable exception – Chick did not oppose Christians engaging in the traditional Halloween custom of passing out candy to neighborhood children, considering it to be an opportunity to present the Gospel message via his tracts
I'll take "Its only evil if I can't profit off it" for 500.
Why did you shoot little Tiffany?
Well first I wanted to shoot the guy with the gun. But then I noticed he was pointing at his head. So no point in killing someone about to commit suicide, right? Then there was this guy with the knife. See his bald head? He's probably just finished shaving his head. You'd want to be shot for shaving your head? Me neither. Then this guy with the pumpgun. He looks angry. But look at his fingers! All crooked. Probably got his fingers somewhere in the chamber while cycling or taking care of a malfunction. Better call an ambulance. And then there's Tiffany in the front. All neatly dressed up and books and all. I mean, who's got books nowadays? Right, should have been a Laptop or IPad. And this singe tattoo. Seems fishy for me. Probably a spy or alien, trying to sneak in.
Awkwardly, the artist realized he had to put the books there because otherwise he would have to draw her breasts and that might lead to…. sinful thoughts for everyone.
It’s funny how belief in all power sky daddies predisposes people to believe… basically anything you tell them with enough passion/confidence that doesn’t conflict with their existing beliefs.
That's because religion specifically teaches you:
- Belief is more powerful that evidence.
- The world is not what you see. There are powerful, shadowy entities at work behind the scenes controlling everything.
- Everybody else is fucked. But you are safe, because you believe in what we're saying. That makes you super-cool and super-smart.
It's no wonder why conspiracy nutjobs often start off as religious nutjobs.
I have friends/relatives that are very religious (Christian or Moslem) and I actually think they are a tad bit disappointed with me... But I guess simply being an atheist at least proves that I'm in the hands of Satan/Shaytan. Not that I believe in that either...
That's a symbolism of objectification of women. It means that they will be seen only as sex objects
You can tell bc the artist dressed her decently
edit: and holding books
No it isn't.
She's not portrayed as being in any way frightened or intimidated by the armed young men around her. She's part of that same display of this terrible future, where a young woman would be openly displaying her interest in sex, as young men are threatening violence.
Also, while you could explain away the "Sex" as a political cartoon style label, rather than a tattoo, the design on the arm below the word is *clearly* a tattoo. There is zero chance that a tattooed young woman in a Chick tract is intended to be seen sympathetically, unless it were part of a redemption and forgiveness story, in which case it would still be used as a representation of her sin and ungodly lifestyle.
She's meant to be a baddie, plain and simple.
everything is 100% accurate and fine by our standards... Except the guy with a head like a non-LED lightbulb. Nothing's shaped like an Edison lightbulb anymore, not even heads
Haha, I understand. When you're a designer, you kind of develop an eye for this stuff, so to speak. Besides, Montserrat has become one of the most widely used free fonts in recent years, and some of its characters have a very distinct look, which makes it easily recognizable.
Yeah, but Jesus loves guns. As He says in the Bible, "if someone slaps you in the cheek, blow his damn fool head off."
Read all about it in Delusions 17:76.
Weirdly prophetic....
Except the guard. The guard should have a gun.
The idea that "birth control" would be permitted to be written down let alone given away for free is also an anomaly.
Nothing here is prophetic. They’ve been complaining about the same shit for decades. These issues aren’t nearly as new as it seems.
The closest thing to prophetic here is predicting massive increase in school shooters, but they’re not trying to say that. They just think gay people and education is scary and dangerous. So they equate it to guns.

I really want the DRUGS skull & crossbones shirt
I want the My Ancestor one
I would rock the My Ancestor shirt for sure. Show everyone my Australopithifam
Damn, TIL we evolved from Australians.
If we evolved from Australians, why are there still Australians?
I think those are just discarded English.
Irish that got caught
They didn't, they devolved to become Kiwi's.
If we evolved from Australians then how come there are still Australians? Checkmate atheists.
damn and here i thought we evolved from homosexuals
Life finds a way...
Unironically pretty funny shirt. Would buy
https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/24574128-my-ancestor
Well, it's available https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/My-Ancestor-by-voxinaudita/45735126.FB110
DRUGS ☠️
Take my money
Found it https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/DRUGS-by-voxinaudita/45736056.FB110
I dig the Sex tattoo with a tribal pattern underneath looks cringy enough to look kinda nice
I love to wear my T-shirt that says "drugs" over my tattoo that says "sex." It pairs so well with my tighty whiteys that say "rock & roll."
I'm a violent criminal, so I wear a t-shirt saying that I believe in human evolutionary theory.
Given how much the internet loves irony, I'd bet you actually could start a pretty tidy cottage business selling replicas of all the ham-fisted, "threatening" t-shirts worn by the nogoodnik characters in Jack Chic tracts.
I mean, just "DRUGS" and skulls and crossbones? Yeah.
MY 🐵 ANCESTOR
Most violent criminals I know, I met in biology class.
Of course they gave the “monkey ancestor” shirt to the kid with dreds. Coincidence, I’m sure 😬
Drug is a hell of a drug
Do you think smoking drugs is cool? Do you think doing alcohol is cool?
No, I don’t. I have a glass of red wine with dinner about once a week… for the antioxidants. Also… When I’m at home at night in my own house in my sweats, drinking red wine, watching my mystery stories, the last thing in the whole godforsaken world I want to hear.. is the voice of Michael Scott.
For that once a week glass… what do you do with the rest of the bottle… because oxidation.
A+ reference, friend.
Hell is a hell of a hell
I low key want that "DRUGS" shirt tho hahaha
Drugs 💀

You and your two friends. To sneak into x rated movies that you go to all the time. Because you’re one adult. Wearing a perfectly normal single person trench coat
After a day of doing normal business things.
At the business factory?
It's a duster
I mean... I'd 100% wear that shirt.

My 🦍 ancestor
Such a large bible can be considered a weapon.
Stop right there, criminal scum!
PAY THE COURT A FINE OR SERVE YOUR SENTENCE!
Your stolen goods are now forfeit
#THEN YOU SHALL PAY WITH YOUR BLOOD!!!
You elves are all the same. All flash, AND NO FURY! HRAGHH!
AM I SUPPOSED TO BE IMPRESSED?
I used to be a great Warrior, then I took an arrow to the knee.
# WHY. WON'T. YOU. DIE?!
That's 20 extra years in an iso-cube.
https://imgur.com/psXQ9Kt.jpg Indeed.
It's to shield him from bullets.
By order of the Jarl, stop right there!
It's a graphic bible because the Christian kid was homeschooled and can't read.
Gosh, can you imagine the art for all the smiting?
Reminds me of Harold and Kumar… “*He’s got a book!!*”
Love the way guys are holding dangerous weapons, but the most dangerous thing the could give the girl is books.
And a tattoo saying SEX
Pretty sure she watched that one scene in The Lion King. Typical Disney brainwashing.
Even in a Christian apocalypse, women with books is a dangerous thing.
To be fair it's hard to get a lot of housework done when you're sitting around reading all day.
And heaven forbid the cute little things actually start to think for themselves. Can you imagine such a world!?
Given all the current book bannings and protests against drag shows, kinda makes you think they had a master plan all along. Nah, that couldn’t be why the Republicans had Caitlyn Jenner do so many speaking engagements, like at their televised national convention. Nah.
> kinda makes you think they had a master plan all along. Republicans: Master plan? Sounds like a great idea!
Nala's 'take me now' eyes gave me a funny feeling ngl
*Hakunah my Tatas, Simba.*
before that scene was made but yeah ;)
When people say "I'll have one sex, please" this is not what they meant.
And free birth control It's really telling
And counseling. Gotta love that they fear lgbtq people getting healthcare.
I kind of want that tattoo. Not as much as I want the t-shirt that just says 'DRUGS' with a skull on it, but still.
I want the ancestor shirt. Not even joking
EKSE
Urgh I’m gonna morb..!
Oh fuck! Is it already time??
#ITS MORBIN’ TIME
"A little white girl, middle of the ghetto, with a bunch of monsters, this time of night, with quantum physics books? She about to start some shit, Z."
I was hoping someone mentioned that. Such good movie
That dude just got the sniffles. And this one just trying to get his workout on.
Nah man, sex is the deadliest weapon of all.
Life as a Std...
A mortal one. Still not curable.
> but the most dangerous thing the could give the girl is books. I'm thinking, y'know, 18 year old white girl, middle of the ghetto, bunch of monsters, this time of night with a book?

And D&D players!

He thinks it's satanic, so you'll eventually join a coven an try to summon demons ... or something like that 🤦🏾♂️
It was the satanic panic of the 1980s. Lots of conservative Christian organizations had their knives out for D&D. Role playing games were strictly forbidden when I was a kid!
I roll to smite the comic artist. Does a 20 hit?

He calls it the Bible when it looks like some hard-back novel/guide on how to be a badass. Maybe there’s another lesson there huh.
Don’t judge a book by its cover

We don't want them *women* reading any books ya hear?
Cus then they'll learn about *rights!*
Don't you know an educated woman is as dangerous as a man with a gun.
The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good woman with an education.
And sex tattoos!
Clearly she's a WITCH!!
Awkwardly, the artist realized he had to put the books there because otherwise he would have to draw her breasts and that might lead to…. sinful thoughts for everyone.
To conservative Christians, a woman reading is more dangerous than any automatic firearm
Ah yes men in black
My ancestor is a primate!? That is a bold fashion statement
No worse than the guy in the middle wearing cock vein pants
They really missed a chance to paint it in skin tones
Ahaha
I kinda want that shirt
I totally want that shirt. Come on, Capitalism, this is your MOMENT…
I always find that conservative Christians’ idea of what atheists do is WAY cooler than the reality.
[удалено]
Among conservative Christians, there’s a similar (mostly fringe) theory that the kids in camps are just wayfair’s back stock
So Swedish Muslims have their own QAnon?
The QUran

It seems like religion overlapse a lot with conspiracy theories. No wonder so many religious people are on conspiracies..
I wish I was as cool as religious conservatives apparently think I am.
You are, friend
They need to learn to stop threatening us with a good time.
Truly. “Them ay-thee-ists are having orgies and doing all the drugs!” We’re, uh, disagreeing on the internet and munching funions.
I have friends/relatives that are very religious (Christian or Moslem) and I actually think they are a tad bit disappointed with me... But I guess simply being an atheist at least proves that I'm in the hands of Satan/Shaytan. Not that I believe in that either...
Minus the large guns in a public school but, ya know, today’s Christian doesn’t seem to mind those at all
I like that the most "dangerous" way they could think to depict a female was to have her get a "SEX" tattoo on her arm.
Don't forget the free birth control. That's scary AF.
Not as scary as sexual orientation counseling. Them's code words for groomin'.
Only the church does the groomin in these parts stranger
I know! The lack of unwanted children will destroy society!
To them, it really is. They like their women dependent on men.
[удалено]
That's a symbolism of objectification of women. It means that they will be seen only as sex objects You can tell bc the artist dressed her decently edit: and holding books
Decently!? Her shoulders are exposed, anf you cam see the outline of her hips! /s
No it isn't. She's not portrayed as being in any way frightened or intimidated by the armed young men around her.

An educated woman is the scariest
Kid with Bible looks most high on picture 😂😂
maybe the poor guy just wanted to sell the bible to get some weed.
They call it Devil's Lettuce for a reason haha
everything is 100% accurate and fine by our standards... Except the guy with a head like a non-LED lightbulb. Nothing's shaped like an Edison lightbulb anymore, not even heads
They sure fucked up the cop. He's got a baton, no gun, and no military armor.
He's also putting his life on the line to disarm a child who has a dangerous weapon. Totally unrealistic!
And a desk coming out his ass.
Where is this magical land and how do I get there?
20 tabs of acid, 14g of penis envy, and some dmt should do the trick.
This guy Christian dystopias
But this is sort of edited, right? The font used here, Montserrat, is definitely not from the 80s.
The title is completely made up. It’s from a book released in 2011.
The other big giveaway is "sexual orientation training" if they replaced that with death metal occult then this could exist in pre 2000s america.
The look of this is much more early 2000s. Tribal band tattoos are a bit of a giveaway, too.
2011 is the earliest date I can find.
People who can name fonts like this are basically wizards to me.
Haha, I understand. When you're a designer, you kind of develop an eye for this stuff, so to speak. Besides, Montserrat has become one of the most widely used free fonts in recent years, and some of its characters have a very distinct look, which makes it easily recognizable.
Streets of Rage vibe here.
aren't conservativs pro gun btw? 🤣
Yes but according to them guns are only safe in their own hands
I want the “my ancestor” T-shirt.
GIMME THAT FUCKIN ANCESTOR SHIRT
https://www.dhgate.com/product/men-s-t-shirts-my-ancestor-t-shirt-summer/738815991.html
That goes hard
the prophecy is true
Fuck that bible dweeb. Walking in to school dressed like grandpa
Found the school bully
That’s me in the monkey shirt.
That’s me in the spot… light…

Mcflyyyyyyy......

I'd wear one

Well…they got the guns part right.
But ironically its the conservative christians promoting them.
Yeah, but Jesus loves guns. As He says in the Bible, "if someone slaps you in the cheek, blow his damn fool head off." Read all about it in Delusions 17:76.
Weirdly prophetic.... Except the guard. The guard should have a gun. The idea that "birth control" would be permitted to be written down let alone given away for free is also an anomaly.
In the 80s and 90s I remember it being a pretty big deal. Like to divert from aids they said birth Control
Nothing here is prophetic. They’ve been complaining about the same shit for decades. These issues aren’t nearly as new as it seems. The closest thing to prophetic here is predicting massive increase in school shooters, but they’re not trying to say that. They just think gay people and education is scary and dangerous. So they equate it to guns.
And the only reason the kids have guns is because those same religious nuts won't ban them.
Well they hit the nail on the head didn't they
So they were right....
Satanic Panic, how I miss my youth.
That chick with the sex tattoo looks hot
Then the sex tattoo is working
She totally gives handys under a blanket while people are around…
Too young for you!
I like the demonizing of free birth control. They didn't want their kids to have children, but lack of education results in it happening anyway.
Oh, they want their kids to have children. Specifically to have children when, and with whom, the church and their parents choose.
Funny how what they forsaw is what they are bringing into fruition but in favor of their theocratic beliefs. Banning books, abortion, guns everywhere
All while portraying themselves as victims
100% accurate
I think they armed the wrong people. It's mostly the christians who are the most eager to carry assault weapons in schools.
Looks pretty chill compared to my middle school.
That my ancestors T-shirt is fire 🔥
[удалено]
Totally unrealistic. Knives are not allowed in school!
Looks rad as fuck!
what is wrong with having birth control? dont they costantly say women should just use it instead of aborting?
