Another story time chiming in:
I prosecute child exploitation cases, so I get a lot of reports from real gross mf’ers. The past month or so, I’ve had a couple cases where people with illegal -material- have also had various Satanist/Wiccan/occult paraphernalia in their houses. The agents I talked to were like, “it’s so weird that these people have this stuff, they must be REALLY messed up if they’re satanists.” And then I whip out my Satanic Temple membership card (because of course I have one, I’m a lefty troll). And I’m like, “oh look, on our membership card it says ‘thou shalt not harm children’, I think I need to report them to the higher ups.”
The look on their face is PRICELESS.
And then I indict the assholes with kiddie pictures, because fuck them, but I find it endlessly amusing to troll stodgy southern American Christians who wither from depictions of Satan like a vampire recoils from garlic.
Story time!
Today at work l got asked the wildest question. Mind you at my job we are like the only ones left in the building so our boss has been real laid back with the dress code, so im able to wear some of my alt. graphic tees. And the one l wore today has a chibi Baphomet in a pentagram that say ‘you have a beautiful soul, give it to me’ And everyone in that office knows that is my aesthetic and normal dress wear, so they are cool with it; I even get asked often if I practiced that religion/witchcraft, of course l leave them running in circles about it haha. But a older coworker comes up to me and this is our convo.
CW: “cool shirt, if you don’t mind me asking but who is that character on it?”
Me: “Oh, its Baphomet!”
CW; “ and where is he from”
Me: *brief pause in my mind* like lol what
Me: “uhhh...hell?”
I mean his name might not as famous as Lucifer Morningstar or Satan, but come on if the beast head/legs/hooves with a humonaid chest doesn’t scream ‘demon’ - like you cant be that shut out that you dont even know, you’re religious too, surely you’ve seen pictures before.
I mean, she might of genuinely not of known 🤣 HAVING SAID THAT THOUGH, speaking from personal experiences, old people just LOVE to question anything "different" about people, and then just give you those judgey eye's because they live for that shit 😂
Old person: I see you have your nose pierced..*those judgemental eye's* back in my day we didn't have that kind of stuff..Good thing too, its strange and unnecessary and doesn't look nice. 😑
Me: Yeah I've got my pussy pierced too Barbara, wanna comment on that while you're at it? 🙄 Fuck off. 😂
