The Future of the Church Is Fandom
As distinct from sports fandoms or most music fandoms, which revolve around live performances, media fandoms are mainly conducted online. (Besides the occasional comic con.) By participating in this culture, the enthusiast can build a shared sense of meaning, identity, and relationships with other enthusiasts, even at vast distances. How could we expect an aging church leadership to keep pace with the frenetic energy of meme culture?
Online pornography
- I started answering modeling ads on craigslist for some extra cash, because even with my scholarship, my schooling and living expenses downtown were extremely, extremely expensive.
- One can at least try to express concern about the cultural paideia of the world system, even if one doesn’t always have the time or resources to outmatch it.
- I would have never consented to having a video of me on pornhub, ever.
So if you thought our aging church leadership was effeminate already, just buckle down. Several findings also show that some individuals may use pornography and other forms of sexual stimulation with the purpose of distracting their attention from emotional and contextual stressors (Bőthe et al., 2020, 2021). Other findings also show that tendencies to use online pornography may be related to reactive stress response and may be used for a temporary escape, as well as for coping with discomfort feelings (Cooper et al., 1999) and reduction of anxiety (Giugliano, 2009; Kafka, 1993; Marshall and Marshall, 2000). Developmental findings also show that adults with adverse stressful childhood experiences tend to have anxious attachment and sexual compulsion (Aaron, 2012).
COGNITIVE-AFFECTIVE DISTRESS AND PERSONALITY TRAITS RELATED TO PORNOGRAPHY CONSUMPTION
- In addition, Armenia has recently grappled with the arrival of over 100,000 displaced Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh in September 2023, posing a significant challenge for the nation.
- The GirlsDoPorn operators knew this, and they wagered the Does’ shame over appearing in porn would likely ensure these victims would not take the site’s management to task for this fraud.
- But I don’t see people talking about how deeply these habits will shape the culture of 21st century church institutions.
We even have memes about this, such as the infamous orthodox iconography / funko pop comparisons that have sprouted up. In other words, the institutional future for your church. Running with another white male who speaks fluent Rust Belt doesn’t give Trump an edge against Kamala. This is bravado talking, not ditsiness (the worst word, for the worst of all female character tropes). When the accountant tells her she must declare bankruptcy, Mia realises that this will apply only in the US and hightails it home to reconnect with her dysfunctional family, old friends and potential contacts to forge a new life.
In addition, the connection between religiosity and a culture emphasizing sexual purity can exacerbate this negative influence, including feelings of great guilt (Grubbs et al., 2015). These findings suggest a relationship between perceived addiction to Internet pornography and psychological suffering related to a moral conflict and incongruency due to guilty feelings (regardless of an individual’s religiosity) (Bradley et al., 2016; O’Sullivan et al., 2014). Some of the most influential media fandoms online over the course of my youth (and during the general mainstreaming of fandom culture in the 2010s) have been Harry Potter, Pokémon, Minecraft, Five Nights at Freddie’s, Star Wars, Marvel, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Homestuck, as well as K-pop and anime fandoms without number. But we can of course see how the weird dynamics of online fan fervor in these media-oriented communities carry over into internet communities based around any other topic under the sun, including those that grow up around the profiles of internet influencers. Sometimes I think it would be best to call these ‘influencers’ fishers of men, casting wide nets and bringing in all the nations to hear their voice. Before you shrug all this off, consider that fandom culture is what mainlined wokeness into the bloodstream of our society.

They influence how we dress, what work we do, where we are in the group hierarchy, and how we get recognition. They influence what we think is the right thing to do. We are introduced to characters struggling with their mental health and we are shown the consequences for those who depend on them or want to help them. There are moments between Mia and her sort-of-estranged father (Karl Collins) that leave you reeling – and wondering what sorcery got you from laughing at the description of an outdated mobile phone (“not much more than a pigeon and a wish”) to being winded by the brutality of the blows life can deal. At one point, Mia has to pawn her expensive watch (“It is a timepiece,” she says, as if picking the words from between her teeth with a cocktail stick), although she doesn’t want to. “Some people can play an instrument, some people have a degree, some people can speak a second language – I got this.” It is a consummate callback to one of the opening lines of the first episode, when Mia explains that, if you come from nothing, “you have to spend the poverty out of you”.
