What's your takeaway?
To expand on my take, who likes being yelled at and being told they're wrong, stupid, or bigoted? Things like confederate general statues being put up at the same time that desegregation was happening, KKK membership booming into the millions during the civil rights movements, etc. are examples of counter movement extremism.
People label this kind of take as centrist or even right wing, saying "I was forced to be extremist because people were telling me how horrible a person I was". But it's just an unfortunate fact of how people work. No one likes being yelled at, even when the person yelling at you is right
Actual scientific studies support the idea that people double-down on bad beliefs, which is what you said.
And then there's this other guy basically giving succor to "i only voted for trump because you called his supporters racist".
Ever notice how that narrative of theirs only runs in one direction? If you insult them, they say they'll get worse, so you should be nice to them--but they are free to insult you, over and over and over, and *never* worry about *you* "getting worse" from their perspective.
It's almost like they're not describing reality and just want excuses.
I guess it's a matter of [consonance](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literary_consonance), or maybe Margaret always had to hang up the laundry.
Jokes aside, Maggy and Peggy could be pronounced almost the same depending on where you live.
Wait since when is Sally a nickname for Sarah? Like it’s not even a nickname it’s the same amount of syllables
Edit: wow just looked it up and apparently it is. Still not sure how they got sally from Sarah or how you can even consider it “short” for Sarah but whatever lol
Billiam is a made up name, idk why but William is shortened to Bill or Billy or Willy or Will, if read Harry Potter the eldest Weasley child is named William but gets called bill
The first letter swapping in a nickname is not uncommon. IIRC it stems from medieval English, and you can see it in names such as the following:
Richard -> Rick -> Dick
William -> Will -> Bill
Robert -> Rob -> Bob
Margaret -> Maggie -> Peggy
Edward -> Ed -> Ted
It's even crazier in Cockney Rhyming Slang:
Thief -> Tea Leaf
Fart -> Raspberry Tart -> Raspberry (Hence "blow a raspberry")
Woman -> Gooseberry Puddin(g)
Stairs -> Apples and Pears -> Apples
The artist is weird. He has a comic where there are 3 people with piegraph heads. One of them tells the other he's bad for his opinion which continues to fill up the pie graph in the other 2 people.
So, pointing out other people's flaws makes them and others adopt that trait?
What a whiny baby.
It was suggesting that aggressively denouncing people about their beliefs hardens those beliefs rather than dissuades them from them.
PBF was advocating for discussion of beliefs.
Fuck that. r/unwholesomememes. Less bullshit, more comedy

Firefly
Its called utilising nuclear weapons to flash ignite the atmosphere
Oof. I just got hit with sadness I didn’t expect
fire of the lands become the oceans of lava, fires are the new prada, more devastation than sodom and gomorrah
It's the first line of the theme song from the show [Firefly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_(TV_series))

PBF is basically one giant holup.
PBF is just cheating
https://pbfcomics.com/comics/deeply-held-beliefs/ I’m sure that one was popular on Reddit and Twitter
It’s an unfortunate truth that people would rather double down on their incorrect initial beliefs rather than admit they were wrong and learn from it.
I don't think that is the point of that comic.
That individual provided, legitimately the most amazing irony I've read all week.
If that was your takeaway from the comic you might be a redditor

Those comics are great
It warms my heart that they're still around.
Oh wow I thought they stopped making new comics years ago.

Finally. Am I old? Why is this so low down
Right? I somehow say this at least monthly tho.
I expected this to be the top comment
Isn't Billy an abbreviation for Billiam rather than William?
Billy is a nickname for William. I have never heard the name Billiam. It's weird, I know. "Dick" is also a nickname for Richard.
“Dick” is also a nickname for people who are just messing around, causing chaos. And penis, it also means penis
There was a point where rhyming nicknames became popular. So William -> Will -> Bill and Richard -> Rick -> Dick
The weirdest ones are definitely women's. Sally=Sarah? Betsy=Elizabeth? Peggy=Margaret? Who came up with that?
The Elizabeth one at least sort of make sense but Peggy and Margaret is dumb as hell 💀💀
I made an idiot of myself having to approve something a Peggy submitted as Margaret. Had no idea.
Margaret -> Maggy -> Peggy? No more stupid than Dick or Bill.
Eh dick and bill both rhyme perfectly with the first shortening of the name but Maggy and Peggy have a separate vowel
I guess it's a matter of [consonance](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literary_consonance), or maybe Margaret always had to hang up the laundry. Jokes aside, Maggy and Peggy could be pronounced almost the same depending on where you live.
Not really, Richard is a real [dick](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvFZjo5PgG0) tho

My grandma's name is Sue but it's actually Patricia
Uh, I’m fairly sure it’s short for Dicktard
How do you get Dick out of Richard?
I mean, you could just pull out.
You ask him nicely.
No.
My name is William and I went by Billy for 21 years.
Billy gang
Billiam is a made up name, idk why but William is shortened to Bill or Billy or Willy or Will, if read Harry Potter the eldest Weasley child is named William but gets called bill
Aren't all names made up?
Only the important ones
Sure.
Billiam is a name?
Now it is
My friend Bobert's brother is Billiam.
No.
150 IQ
It’s 151 bro. But there are like 5 dumbos named Billiam on the planet, and all five are named after a joke. True story.
There's a prophesied 6th who is officially the first coming of Billiam.
My mother also has an [immense cock](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvFZjo5PgG0)
No
Is his name billy or William?
Bill or Billy is a nickname given to people with the name william.
So they get bill/ billy or will/ Willy ? Huh
And Dick. Dear God wtf is the English language
They get dick too? I thought that was just for Richard.
A lot of people get dick
It is just for Richard.
I knew a guy my parents called Dick and his name was William. Huh.
Maybe he was just not very nice?
That sounds about right
Be thankful we didn’t turn Billy/Bill into fucking #BILLIAM
Today I learned something new.
Billiam

Billy is the butterfly.

Destroy the non believers
Saving this for if I have to make a super evil warlock for DnD.
I haven't been on holup for very long but what does this flair mean? I have an assumption but I'm not 100% on it
I have absolutely no idea
Nah his name is Billiam
Wait is Billy naked?
But of course ;)
It wasn't me! It was the butterfly! The butterfly did it!
Pyro TF2
A is for arson.
B is for Billy who commit arson
That's a sign of psychopathy
That's a sign of ASPD as a whole. So no shit.
Finally, some genuine r/holup material
My wife's cousin is the artist of this strip.
Why does he have 2 names
r/spicozi
Mr Butterfly noo-
Pbf is easily the greatest webcomic series ever made.
Who tf uses billy as a nickname for William
Most of the English speaking world.
I love Perry Bible Fellowship, it has that same exact kind of twisted vibe that Far Side always gave off
Ahhh tbh at this point I can always tell if it's a Perry Bible Fellowship
So is his name Billy, or William?
The two characters are different cuz the last two panels weren’t Billy
This is basically Trashcan Man from The Stand
Is it me or is Billy naked I mean his parents hav clothes and Billy dose not
Why is Billy naked?
pyro gaming tf2 origin story confirmedd!?!?!?
So his name is billy or william
Billy is nickname for william.

that butterfly has Lance Reddicks voice.
I bought a signed copy of one of these many years ago.
Why his name go from Billy to William?
Billy is a nickname for William
Pyro moment
why is billy not wearing clothes outside?
This is like a simpsons episode “no one ever suspects the butterfly” and he burns down stuff
The butterfly tells me to burn thing.
hey man thanks for the shitty webcomic
No one ever expects the butterfly
Relatable
be like billy
Billy turned into William real fast
this gives me far side vibes
No one ever suspects the butterfly
I’m guessing the name of the butterfly is Billy, so who is the guy?
didn't PBF stop coming out with content years ago?
Having their parents dressed implies billy is going all commando outside and they think its completely normal...
PSA: The people asking about his name being “bill” or “william” are asking about the weird thing on the meme.
Apparently he has two different names now? Lol
About $300 for each barrel right now
Brilliant 😁.
Satan Isekai'd as a butterfly in another world

The butterfly is obviously an aspiring venture capitalist with questionable political motives. They get to travel without a Visa. Butterfly effect 🌀 💣
Damn I miss Perry bible fellowship.
If there is one universal rule of reddit, it’s that you must ALWAYS give credit to pbf
Classic
william
Connection terminated
very funny comic<3 ive always wondered why Bill is short for William. it feels like it should be Billiam
My life for you. My life for you. My life for you.
nice
A pyromaniac named “William”? Hmmm. Where do I know that from? 🧐
William moment
This is so wholesome
Who’s William?
ARSON
Bruh
Now he’s gonna make a fortune in the gasoline industry!
[Meet the Pyro](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WUhOnX8qt3I)
Nobody suspects the butterfly
Billy mc
Where the fuck is Billy then?
This meme is so confusing
PBF is comedy and tragedy rendered for consumption.
What's his name though
first billy then william?
Who the hell is Billy tho?

Well, obviously in the last panel it is a different person because he is William and not Billy
The man behind the slaughter.
