What's your opinion of this song/lyrics?




(My opinion by the way is the song musically is a 10/10 utter classic....but HORRIBLE lyrics.)

Since you said Katy Perry's music is really bad do you prefer music or Sharptooth?

(The band whose video you commented that on):

Sharptooth is way better, although it's still not exactly my favorite.

Weirdly the vocalist likes to post videos on Instagram of herself singing along to what's playing in her car when driving which isn't an odd thing on Instagram of course....but it's songs from people like Kesha and Lizzo.

Very interesting. Assuming I'm interpreting the infoboxes correctly, there's a lot I like (homosexuality accepted but both male and female adultery shunned) and some I dislike (the purely temporal priesthood). If I were living in the actual High Middle Ages but somehow had all the social and cultural views I have now I'd probably side with this group over both the papacy and most of the IRL proto-Protestant outfits.

The temporal priesthood is for game mechanic reasons, I like to be able to appoint my entire court, including my Court Chaplain (which is a pretty important role and arguably even more than in CK2.) Otherwise it gets "appointed by the Pope/other religious head" (aka randomly generated and selected by an AI) or from the clergy meaning you also don't get to appoint such an important role.

I assumed you would be very turned off by the "Carnal Exaltation" tenet though.

I don't understand CK well enough to know what that means exactly, but you're right that the term itself does not inspire confidence.

For all the major Christian and Muslim faiths in the game (and Jewish too come to think of it), the "Lustful" trait is considered a sin that hurts the character's Piety score, while the "Chaste" trait provides a boost. This inverts that, being chaste is a sin, being lustful is a virtue and gives a boost for piety.

...it ain't a perfect description of the sort of contemporary thing I was shooting for obviously but it's the closest thing the game has to sex-positive, hence why I used it.

(Also because it's beneficial from a game mechanics perspective, as you can see it increases fertility of all adherents of the religion, as does the "Lustful" trait, while "Chaste" limits fertility. So it results in characters having more kids and larger families, which provides a boost to the Dynastic Renown score.)

Do you prefer emo to classic rock?
