It will decidedly surprise some people to hear me say this, but one of the politically incorrect remarks we often hear from the Gorean Community is that people prefer "cultural integrity" and "multicultural sensitivity" to health, food, safety, and the opportunity to choose their own course through life. For starters, it parrots whatever ideas are fashionable at the moment. When the fashions change, its ideas will change instantly, like a weathercock. Treasonous and sophomoric, the Gorean Community's teachings resemble a dilapidated shed. Kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will collapse, proving my claim that the Gorean Community shouldn't assuage the hungers of its yes-men with servings of fresh scapegoats. That would be like asking a question at a news conference and, too angry and passionate to wait for the answer, exiting the auditorium before the response. Both of those actions place pigheaded killjoys at the top of the social hierarchy. I hope I don't need to remind you that the Gorean Community's double standards are as devoid of meaning as the squawk of an angry bluejay, but it's still true, and we must do something about it. To be blunt, the Gorean Community never stops boasting about its generous contributions to charitable causes. As far as I can tell, however, its claimed magnanimousness is utterly chimerical and, furthermore, even the Gorean Community's most doctrinaire loyalists are trained in the use of force, deadly force, advanced weaponry, and offensive and defensive tactics. No joke.
When a political condition of greed, massive corruption, and diversity of objective is coupled to a social condition of drugs, violence, and discontent, therein exists the perfect environment for the Gorean Community to retard the free and natural economic development of various countries' indigenous population. Just look at the bill of fare served up in recent movies and television programs, and you will hardly be able to deny that I'm at loggerheads with the Gorean Community on at least one important issue. Namely, it argues that free speech is wonderful as long as you're not bashing it and the stupid, sexist menaces in its peuplade. I take the opposite position, that my dream is for tired eyes to open and see clearly, broken spirits to find new energy, and weary arms to find the strength to replace today's chaos and lack of vision with order and a supreme sense of purpose. Here's a specific example of the way in which the Gorean Community's secret police will leave us high and dry as they force some to live by restrictive standards not applicable to others: It wants to scrawl pro-McCarthyism graffiti over everything. Although the ideological underpinnings of the Gorean Community's musings have struck a receptive chord among literally thousands of unpleasant mythomaniacs, there may be nothing we can do to prevent the Gorean Community from making good on its word to meddle in everyone else's affairs. When we compare this disturbing conclusion to the comforting picture purveyed by its agents provocateurs, we experience psychological stress or "cognitive dissonance". Our only recourse is to cast a gimlet eye on the Gorean Community's objectives. I am not complaining about that. That's something you won't find in your local newspaper because it's the news that just doesn't fit.
Mandarinism and despotism are not synonymous. In fact, they are so frequently in opposition and so universally irreconcilable that I can say one thing about the Gorean Community. It understands better than any of us that psychological impact is paramount -- not facts, not anybody's principles, not right and wrong. I'm not suggesting that we behave likewise. I'm suggesting only that it's not the boogeyman that our children need to worry about. It's the Gorean Community. Not only is the Gorean Community more loud and more sententious than any envisaged boogeyman or bugbear, but the Gorean Community's idea of virulent imperialism is no political belief. It is a fierce and burning gospel of hatred and intolerance, of murder and destruction, and the unloosing of an uneducated blood-lust. It is, in every sense, a misguided and pagan religion that incites its worshippers to a clumsy frenzy and then prompts them to sucker us into buying a lot of junk we don't need. Idle hands are the devil's tools. That's why the Gorean Community spends its leisure time devising ever more villainous ways to turn our country into a lawless cesspool overrun with scum, disease, and crime. Finally, if this letter generates a response from someone of opposing viewpoints, I would hope that the author(s) concentrate on offering objections to my ideas while refraining from attacks on my person or my intelligence. I've gotten enough of that already from the Gorean Community.

I'm starting to think that deep down inside you secretly wish to be a Gorean Kajirus.

I'm confused. Was this generated by one of those Auto Complaint sites?

*cough* *slips into Gorean sim* *Gets banned for griefing*
Hilarity ensues.
All I know about the goreans is that they treat women terribly because the women subject themself willingly to be treated terribly.
Therefor. All of you are stupid.
Edit: Give me some money.
Edit 2: I was just kidding about you being stupid, I love you all--Give me some money.

From: someone we must do something about it. Like what? From: someone Gorean Community's most doctrinaire loyalists are trained in the use of force, deadly force, advanced weaponry, and offensive and defensive tactics. Wow deadly force even! I swear I didn't laugh, honest. From: someone Gorean Community to retard the free and natural economic development of various countries' indigenous population. Whole countries? From: someone they force some to live by restrictive standards not applicable to other They will make you submit! From: someone there may be nothing we can do to prevent the Gorean Community from making good on its word to meddle in everyone else's affairs Have they resorted to wire tapping yet? From: someone I'm suggesting only that it's not the boogeyman that our children need to worry about. It's the Gorean Community. I'll run up and wake my kids and tell them all about this new threat right away, thank you! From: someone It is a fierce and burning gospel of hatred and intolerance, of murder and destruction, and the unloosing of an uneducated blood-lust. It is, in every sense, a misguided and pagan religion that incites its worshippers to a clumsy frenzy and then prompts them to sucker us into buying a lot of junk we don't need And here I thought it was a roleplay. From: someone the Gorean Community spends its leisure time devising ever more villainous ways to turn our country into a lawless cesspool overrun with scum, disease, and crime. The villians! From: someone I would hope that the author(s) concentrate on offering objections to my ideas while refraining from attacks on my person or my intelligence. Wouldn't dream of it. From: someone I've gotten enough of that already from the Gorean Community. Maybe you should stay away from them for your own good. They sound very dangerous. Thank you so much for the warnings Corvus. I know I for one will sleep better knowing you are on the job and keeping an eye on these dangerous roleplayers and their wicked wicked ways. Oh and I heard they have a whole series of these so called "books" they use to map out their evil plans.

It's amazing.
The original spoof posting didn't lead to a Gorean-bashing thread. Still, give it time.

Well as a gorean Slave I can say I have never been mistreated, or at least never hand anything done to me that I didnt want doing. some are mistreated but then they must be the slaves too stupid to tp out or to leave gor. Tell you what why dont you come and be a slave for a day so you can actually know what you are talking about instead of bashing us, oh wait I like a good bashing *bends over for the paddle*.

I see daily attacks on the Gorean community on these forums. Personally, I don't take any "gorean views" into the SL mainland. Very happy on my own sim thanks. I dislike the way that the majority are tarred with the same brush as the minority....but hey, that's what the forum is about I guess. I always tend to say the same thing...anyone wanting a chat about the way *I* view Gor....is welcome to grab me inworld Peace.

Al Gore lost the election because there weren't enough Goreans.

I heard the movie made about Gor was so bad it could be considered a crime against humanity, so that's a another point against them.

Was this actually supposed to be a rebuttal? If so, why does it sound an awful lot like "Well how do you know you wouldn't like crack if you haven't tried it?"?
