Stupid things religious people say

[Rev. Rye]

Watching this video about the 8 Passengers mom, and this has to be the most ridiculous case of fundie “media is evil” I’ve ever seen:




So, apparently, there’s a woman with a disabled daughter who loves Disney’s Descendants. This daughter comes up to her one day and says she’s being bullied. The mother’s immediate response is to insist that can’t be the case, and upon further inspections, she decides that the problem is in The Descendants. Not even something in the movies, mind you, but the fact that one actor allegedly killed himself. (Note, the only death I could find in the cast is Cameron Boyce, who died not of suicide, but complications from epilepsy.) She has apparently decided that this fact, which she acknowledges her daughter probably doesn’t even know about (even though it’s not even true) is warping her mind.



And, of course, of all the people she could go to with the problem, she chose the woman who thought it would be a good idea to literally deny her own teenage son a bed for several months.
