Yet another GAF thread - I still haven't got over it :( (No spergfits allowed)

[Flannel Boy]

Okay I'm really 5' 11.5" and 155 pounds but I was just trying to make a point, jeezus.

How long before you're 5'6" 190?

Also--I'm 5'11" and 155. 

[Flannel Boy]

Even Microsoft sucks ass at virals compared to Sony.  Truly a clusterfuck.

Yes. And they stick out because they tend to use big words like "vociferous" and "laudations."

Whenever I see Joe on GAF there's a weird fraction of a second where I'm confused that he doesn't have a red name there.

Evilore, it's time to unite our two great house!

I think there's something to smaller people escalating things faster than taller and bigger people because smaller stature is an obvious disadvantage. Raising a big stink, throwing around threats more readily etc. to prevent a situation from actually getting physical seems like a sensible tactic to me under those circumstances. Same for being more brutal when things actually do get physical. Simple scare tactics.
It's easy for tall people to be calm and collected when a would be opponent looks like a child relative to their size. If they are outnumbered however, I expect anyone to act like a smaller person (and to then run like there's no tomorrow, because fuck inferiror numbers).

[Eli Gulgin]

The pyp chatroom action is killing me more than usual. I really don't need to associate Fugazi with those people.

Chicago, Ireland


There's more than one Chicago in the world other than the one in the U.S. you self-centered assholes.  So much for the U.S. education system and geography classes.

The potheads. After the argument they have a bag of Doritos waiting for them.

Nothing wrong with smoking pot and his Dad is nuts for thinking it makes him a bad person. However, it is probably illegal where he lives and Dad's rules go since it's his house.

Mixed people often feel like they're being pulled from both sides; I have a mixed friend (her mom is German American, dad is Nigerian) who describes it as constantly walking in and out of two different worlds. But ultimately black, Asians, etc didn't create the one drop rule, or establish a society where a non-Hispanic/Indian/etc brown person is universally considered black in this contry. Black people didn't claim Tiger Woods first, the media labeled him black. Fuzzy Zoeller's racist comments aimed at Woods didn't mince words in terms of what color he thought he was.

Personally, I believe mixed people should be allowed to choose how they "label" themselves. But the minute they walk into a room they're automatically "black" in the eyes of most people. Equating this as an issue of "both sides" being wrong is ridiculous.

[Rufus]

Human beings are just kind of shitty all around in groups.

Yeah

[Phoenix Dark]

As a mixed-race person who grew up in a place with plentiful amounts of both races, who were generally quite hostile towards each other, I can say in my experience that kind of thing swung both ways.  Whites in my hometown always treated me as a native, and natives always treated me as a white.  Human beings are just kind of shitty all around in groups.

You're half Native American? Living in Japan too, that's cool bro.

This just in, reviewers should only give games positive reviews.  Because if they didn't like the game then they should have refrained from reviewing it in the first place!



 

[nudemacusers]

I just wish they would refrain for reviewing import games they didn't like. I played LaytonVsAA and I consider it very good, WAY more interesting than the Azrean Legacies (seriously I almost fall asleep when playing this one)

PD, I find your post, while understandable, immature. You have filtered all white people as the ones who created the biracial one drop rule archetype, 300 or so years after its creation. Trojita has nothing to do with the creation of one drop rule, and his being white is impertinent to his opinion on the aforementioned rule. Please try to be more open minded. While your intentions are completely identifiable, don't be the guy who lumps all white people as "the enemy". We reserve that towards their use - or non-use - of wash cloths.

[Phoenix Dark]

Where did I call white people the enemy? It's a fact that the one drop rule is a racial/social construct that lasts to this day, and influences how people are viewed. When the average half black/half white person enters a room they're viewed as "black."

[Shadow Mod]

Mac, what happened to your name? Does it involve free nudes? Please say yes.

You didn't call white people the enemy, but you did say that white people shouldn't badmouth things "white people invented" as if to suggest all white share the same opinion on the matter. I've done the same thing a lot in the past, and I'm just now realizing how ridiculous it is. Though white people created the entire culture behind it, the poster who made that thread has nothing to do with that, making your anger seem a bit ill founded and misdirected.

Yea...you're completely misrepresenting my post.

I'm not angry. It's a fact that the US racial/social structure views most mixed (black & white) people as black. That's a structure created by white people and perpetuated by the media. My point was just that the idea that a "both sides are wrong" argument can be made here is ridiculous.

It's no different than western beauty standards dominating US media. These are things that have been passed down for generations, and I didn't appreciate the tone of his post.
