continued Thatfucker discussion

[anonniemouse]

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

Wow he is really pandering for asspats.

Why is he so insistent that its some weird thing for an American Muslim to know about a massively popular American HBO series???

I'd say GoT is massively popular worldwide. It's like he thinks that most Muslims don't own the TV or don't use internet. Well, except his followers.

Hell, he might. There's definitely an image among a lot of Americans, even relatively well-informed ones, of the majority of Muslims as fundamentalists. They tend to get this weird condescending attitude towards anyone who doesn't fit that image, who they view as the rare exception -- like, "oh, these poor dears are so ~enlightened~, but it has to be even harder for them, because they have to deal with those other ignorant Americans who don't realize that not ALL Muslims are like that, and they probably also have to deal with being shunned by all the other Muslims they know for being too liberal, because not ALL Muslims are like that, but MOST of them are, let's be real."

SA -- mod, I realized a few minutes after making this comment that it might be drifting towards off-topic. Sorry, maybe freeze it?
