Stop! You may be offended!

Warning: Blimix is long-winded. Salt to taste. In case of inhalation, exhale.

Before proceeding to the bulk of the material available in Yvelheim, please take a few moments to check this list of people who may be offended by its content. If you are offended, but are not warned here, I apologize. Please let me know your name and the reason for your offense, and I will add both to the list.

Yvelheim contains some naughty words. The choice to use those is a matter of personal preference, which I do not judge. The choice to enforce social hierarchies by policing non-harmful language is evil. (Have you noticed that's what it's about? The unspoken rule says that people may curse among peers, but not in front of people of higher social status.)

The author supports human rights, and opposes threats to humanity. This will be offensive to both types of right-wingers: The proud fascists and the ashamed fascists. (If you're on the right and think you're not a fascist, you're the second type.) Also, based upon voting and signing records, human rights are offensive to nearly all members of the Senate1 and the House of Representatives2, as well as to every President in my lifetime.3

The author advocates treating people with respect. This may be offensive to assholes, bigots, hate-mongers, fundamentalists/evangelicals/Mormons/Amish/Quiverfools, Gamergaters, and other Harriers.

The author has no patience for "moral relativists" who dismisses all morality as "relative" in order to excuse immoral action. The only credible sort of moral relativism is the sort which recognizes that there are multiple paths toward the good, which can vary according to circumstances, backgrounds, and abilities.

Yvelheim contains insults to several political parties; you can guess which ones.

3. Quotations: 36
4. Based on voting records at scorecard.aclu.org. I have not updated these lists since 1999, which is unfortunate since credit is obviously due to Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and others.
