    Their entire business model is drumming up culture war bullshit to keep people distracted from the fact they’re losing the class war.

    I grew up with classmates named Autumn, April, and December (she went by DeeDee). I had a co-worker named June. I’ve known of kids named Summer, January, Augustus, and September. But none of them picked these names; it was the parents who identified them as months or seasons!

    (And yes obviously the Fox story is beyond stupid)

    Conservatives are so fucking boring. The ones I’m forced to interact with talk about politics at a massively inflated rate compared to anyone else. It’s always shit that makes them angry too, like the only joy you can get out of life is righteous indignation.

    Privileged white fuckers are the last people who have any right to be righteously indignant over anything right now, and that’s the majority of conservatives in America.

    Identifying as a season? That’s almost as ridiculous as identifying as the position of the stars and planets at your birth! You know, that thing that apparently millions of people actually do do. Maybe Fox should go after astrology. That might be a cause worth pursuing.

    Heheheh. I said “do do”.

    My dad was tricked with the “cat litter box” made-up moral panic. SMN has an episode on it (can’t remember which one), but some people are too far gone to admit they’ve been deceived by made-up fox news.

    Summer and Autumn get used as girl’s names ~1,200 per million and ~2,000 per million per year since the 1970s or so. “Fall” is only about 3 per million, “Winter” takes off with Game of Thrones TV show around 2011 leading to 600 per million, but was in use since the 70s to the tune of about 70-100 per mil.

    (source: babycenter, but I’m not linking that ad-riddled excuse for a website)

    Parents have been identifying their kids as seasons for decades.

      Don’t forget all the kids named after months.

      January Jones was a famous actress for a minute. November Kelly is a popular podcaster. April, May, and June are all common girl’s names.

      Parents have been identifying their kids as seasons for decades.

      Try millennia. You can find people named after months and seasons going back to antiquity. Hell, many of the months/seasons themselves were originally the names of ancient mythological gods and heroes.

    I didn’t even know that was an option…

    I’m identifying as paprika. But smoked paprika, not that basic ass egg flavoring.

    Why the fuck would people even have a problem with that? The lead poisoned generation which believes in jesus the crucified zombie telling everyone that THEY have a mental illness. I just wish conservatives would disappear.
