Robert Boylan isn't just a racist, he's a sexist pig as well

I don't know about that, moksha. He posted this in 2020:

In the post mentioned in the OP Boylan also threatened Travis but then edited the post to remove the threat. This is what his original post said. If you click on the hyperlink it takes you to a GIF of a man in a turban masturbating. Which is definitely something one would expect a creep like Boylan to have saved on his computer.

Robert Boylan even set up a gofundme page, for himself:

Looks like the free market has settled on the appropriate value for Boylan’s contributions to Mormon apologetics!

DCP wasn’t kidding when he said it won’t make you rich.

As far as I can tell Boylan has accounts which he uses to beg on Patreon, Venmo, PayPal, and Go Fund Me. He begged for two years for people to give him money to move to the US, while also claiming that he was working his dream job remotely for the B.H. Roberts Foundation. So either he sucks at money management or they pay him pennies.

Wow.

He definitely seems like the perfect fit for the Interpreter Foundation. Maybe they can get him paid to work on the next blockbuster film.

Nothing to comment. Just documenting for future employers or romantic partners who may want to look up Robert Boylan on Google.

Brigham Young, that delightful 19th century nutjob, has the same message for any Mormon today that he has for "progmos". He's been urging Joseph Smith to reject every Mormon who lived after him at Joe's day of judgment. "them pansies gave up polygamy and our beloved codified racism. They ought to burn in hell with every other loser who turned against my Jesus."

to no one's surprise, not only is Boylan's account inaccurate, but he's been making this inaccurate accusation for years.

Here's the beginning of a post from 2021. I didn't quote the rest of Boylan's nonsense after Aaron's email, as it was just more inaccuracies.

Anti-Mormon Who Makes God the Author of Sin Unhappy He is Being Called Out
I got a rather pissy email from Aaron Shafovaloff late last night:

Slanderous image >
Aaron Shafovaloff <aaronshaf@gmail.com>
to Robert
Robert,

My 12-year-old daughter stumbled across the slanderous image you made of me with the misleading quotation marks and attribution dash. I had to explain to her that I never said the words in the false quotation
The image depicts more than just a belief in Calvinism (where all things are predestined, which my daughter understands). The image goes beyond that to depicting me as singling out Anne Frank with anti-Semitic sentiment.
Most people seeing the image will never even see the blog post where you attempt to justify it. There are real-world consequences to such slander that should stir your conscience
Respectfully,
Aaron Shafovaloff

Aaron's explanation is sufficient. Boylan is a slanderous idiot.

I don't think Kwaku or Boylan have the ability to understand that when someone believes God is responsible for everything, that includes everything.

It's also hard to sympathize with Mormons because they believe children suffering is a necessary evil to allow free will. There's ultimately no difference between a God who preordains suffering and a God who allows suffering.

Boylan's ostensible job is apologetics, no? He's supposed to be attracting people on the edge of Mormonism, either just outside or just inside, to come into or remain in the fold.

Instead he's posturing for a Mormon hard core, and thereby repelling anyone whom he should be attracting. To anyone outside that hard core, he just looks childish, stupid, and cruel. Not big enough to be a troll; somewhere in the orc-goblin-kobold range. He's an effective anti-apologist. If I wanted to destroy the LDS church, I'd broadcast Boylan to the world. He thinks no rebuttal is possible. No rebuttal is needed. The anti-Mormons will gladly yield him all of their time.

Who is paying him? Is it a fanatical but smart anti-Mormon who has hit on a way to make Mormonism look as repulsive as possible? If a loyal Mormon is paying him, why are they supporting such a slur on their church?

That's one puzzle.

Another is, why is Boylan undermining his church and his job just to flex for the overlap set of incel and DezNat? I don't think he's really a stupid guy. He could do a lot better than that tiny community. He might be able to mount a real apologetic for Mormonism, if that's what he really wants. He could certainly find people who would appreciate and support him, if he did anything decent instead of this garbage.

Who is paying him?

Josh Coates, who started the "B.H. Roberts Foundation" in 2022.
