    Oh, postmodernism. Why do you always deconstruct things into that which they are not? Why do you like to play freud with everything?


    BRB playing chess nekkid.

    It's 1956 Shichibukai. Everyone was getting into Existentialism then.

    "The profuse phallic symbolism of chess provides convience: Were the chess pieces in any other shape, they would be difficult to to pick up."

    And that's all anyone can do. Provide a counter-arguement that people researching can ignore if it contridicts their own argument.

    Sometimes a chess board is just a cigar.

    Well in Japan, the pieces are little tiles that you shift around.

    Though that's a slightly different game.

    Then it could easily be argued that the shape of chess pieces evolved from how the players moved the pieces, or from another board game.

    How on Earth were chess pieces made from bread?

    Sometimes a chess set is just a bunch of cigars.

    I hear a professional chess player found out when his house burnt down.  He was high after that.

    Glaives are better.

    If I had a time machine, first thing I'm going to do is go back in time and kill Sigmund Freud, so feminists and postmodernists would shut the fuck up about a subject they know nothing about.

    Especially the feminists. Oh, God, the feminists.

    ^^ And erase a flawed but necessary early step in the development of psychology? I'd rather give pretentious blowhards some snarking space than still have a world with bedlam houses in it.

    You could replace "chess" with anything man-made and remotely phallic and it wouldn't change anything.

    "The profuse phallic symbolism of the hoagie provides some fantasy gratification of the homosexual wish, particularly the desire for voraphillic fellatio."

    Yep, sounds about right.

    Yes, having people with no real influence on the world at large talk about male dominance is totally bad enough to justify killing the father of psychology. Certainly. Fuck talking to people to cure them, yay locking up the insane in asylums or drilling holes in their brains.

    Hatter, you shouldn't.

    Because without them, we would have fewer people to ridicule.

    If it's longer than it's wide, then it's phallic
    If it's longer than it's wide, then it's phallic
    If it's shorterer than it's wide, then you turn it on its side
    Now it's longer than it's wide, and now it's phallic

    What's the opposite of phallic again?

    MY MOUSE IS A PHALLIC SYMBOL

    MY TOUCHPAD IS A YONIC SYMBOL

    CLEARLY THAT MEANS MY MOUSE SHOULD BE USED ON TOP OF THE TOUCHPAD.

    I'm pretty sure Hatter is talking about the feminists who want to overthrow the "Patriarchy", and then create a Matriarchy that is just as oppressive.
