I don't get this Samantha Bee thing? Am I not the target audience since I'm not in the media or something? When do the "funny as fuck" or "equal parts biting satire and unapologetic empowerment" parts start? Are they after Will Ferrell's W. Bush impression?

Let's be real here, this is a rich, White couple who wants to rezone their school so it's more rich and more White because it's "what's best for their kids" while fucking over the low-income local students.  :lol

Reading some of the articles (and really it was a quick glance, I don't have time for this bullshit): It seems like they're fighting to keep their local school than having to send their kids to a school a few blocks (or more) away. It makes sense in a selfish way. I don't think it's a "racism" thing like GAF is making it out to be. Just wanting to keep their kids local so they know where they are and don't have to travel.

The same thing happens with rezoning in rural areas. I don't think "classism/racism" is happening here, but Jason Jone's small quip is pretty shitty. "Yeah, we're not being classist or racist! We're just wanting to keep our kids local!" isn't something to really crow about.

Bro, they're not old enough to remember that all the stuff they think Trump is doing is some new shit. Nine years ago might as well have been ancient Aztec history for some of these people. Of course they aren't aware of that time period. Just like the alt right talking all this dumb shit about how Europe is under attack like the 70s-90s were just some peachy keen time period in which extremists never existed on the continent.

That they're so flippant with labeling someone as a Nazi over the most trivial matters and drawing a line in the internet sand for absolutely nothing

Maybe they should wash away their misplaced views over a crisp Heineken

That ad sucked so badly. I like Neal Patrick Harris, but man... wrong thing to shill.

And the new ad that everyone is gushing about as the "anti-Pepsi," while it has it's heart in the right place: Sucks too.

Anita is/was a carpetbagger. Henry Jenkins, Justine Castille and others discussed similar concepts back in 1998. The two books that touched on it form that time did a better job than Anita did with the subject matter, but that's likely because Jenkins is a real media studies guy and they dealt with actual female gamers.

A long time ago I tried to bring up that sort of topic, but GAF was wholly inadequate for discussing it in any useful way. Anita didn't really try to explore the topic or anything of importance. She just went straight for playing the damsel in distress. She's a telemarketer/advertiser and her dig is in public persuasion. While a waste of everyone's time, her approach was probably the only kind the audience would respond to since they've been saving princesses all their lives.

Oh, no doubt about it-- all the crazy Internet detectives out there who wanted to find dirt on her actually did find some videos basically backing that viewpoint up.

She did a Kickstarter and got a shit-ton of money, which she then used to essentially make more FF videos using footage from other Youtubers (this was also exposed) and pointing out either the obvious about sexism in games or twisting things around and making it seem like something was sexist when it wasn't.

Then she used her new-found popularity to launch a career giving speeches and make even more money.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious. It was a good hustle for her. She took it too far by involving the FBI and wasting their time.

Feig, who is known for making hit comedies with female leads like "Bridesmaids" and "The Heat," said that a less-publicized bright side to his "Ghostbusters" casting choice is women viewers who tell him the film shaped their aspirations about pursuing science and technology.

Women have told him "if I had this movie when I was a kid, I would have been an engineer right now," he said.

"I would love to do more than that."

This Nepenthe guy absolutely lost his shit here.  :lol
Quote
Who cares if it was a shitty movie?

The whole trolling campaign started when the Slate article made the announcement- before any trailers- that it was rebooting with an all-female cast. There's no need for this stupid qualifier. What happened regardless is a shitshow, and it was a shitshow before we saw a damn thing about it, because male nerds have the capacity to be the absolute fucking worst.
Quote
So being smug is the qualifier needed for having not only you, but even your film cast harassed?
Quote
Maybe this wouldn't be the takeaway if the haters weren't demonstrably racist and sexist.

Nor if people didn't excuse the racism and sexism with "But the movie was bad."
Quote
Quote from: Lothar
This was very small and insignificant until the trailers came out and people started getting attacked for saying the trailers looked bad. That made the tiny negative reaction explode 100,000x.
No.

It wasn't a tiny and insignificant reaction.

It was the driving force behind the film's outright negative reaction until the trailers came out.

It had to have been, because there was nothing else to go on for the "normal people" to judge at that point.

When the trailers did come out, what happened in terms of the sexist assholes was simple co-opting; say that the real reason for the fervor was that the trailer was bad. Same fucking Gamergate, different fucking medium. Ethics in gaming journalism became ethics in film quality.

Of course, like with ethics in games journalism, the existence of the sexism never actually barred anyone from disliking the trailer on its own merits. I did. However, strangely enough, I never felt attacked or thrown under the bus by people pointing out "Hey, there's an obviously sexist bent to the overwhelmingly negative reaction to this trailer. It ultimately looks like any other shitty reboot that has ever existed but it's being overtaken by a historical downvote and harassment campaign. What's up with that?"

And instead of being like, "Yeah, that's shitty, and my fellow male nerds doing it are a fucking embarrassment to humanity," instead a good deal of men got shook and instead insisted "Why are you calling ME sexist?! I'M not sexist! I just don't like this terrible looking film!"

Doth protested too much.

It's like Moviebob said: If you've got (had) a problem with Obama's drone policies despite the context that simultaneously existed that America also had a problem with Obama because he's black, and you wanted to address your issues with the drone policies, maybe don't protest at the same time, in the same place, or in as a similar manner as the fucking KKK.

Quote from: btrboyev
Yes there is. The guy is solely talking about everything except the fact that he made a bad movie. Own it. Admit he should have done some thing's differently.

The goddamn fucking sexism and racism have nothing to do with how bad the movie is.

This attitude right here is why black people and women constantly say nerd culture is garbage.
Quote
You don't understand.

I have a biological need to let people know that I- the special snowflake individual on the Internet that I am- did not dislike the movie because of that sexism nonsense, but because it simply was a bad film.

All this is about, and nothing more, is that the art of film was violated in the most egregious of ways, and it is by necessity that I let everyone around me know that, especially when the issue of the sexism nonsense comes up.

Quote from: Nepenthe
Quote from: Winters
Quote from: Nepenthe
I bet you downvoted the trailer.
I bet your Paul Feig aren't you?
No, just a person who doesn't think every time Paul Feig speaks about the bigotry he and his cast faced before a single frame was publicly shown, it's actually a false flag to distract from the film's quality, which is obviously the most important thing out of the whole debacle.

And of course...
Quote from: Bobby Roberts
I mean, whether the movie is good or not is 100% beside the point of this article, because it's specifically referring to the pre-release abuse, and even more precisely, his mistake in choosing to not only acknowledge, but respond to a guy practicing the misogynistic harassment that the movie tended to be a magnet for.

The focus of the article (which is maybe 2 grafs longer than what's quoted in the OP, if that) is entirely on the pre-release bullshit. The movie's quality doesn't factor into it.

There is no scenario in which the quality of the film (which, by the way, wasn't very high at all) somehow forgives or explains that pre-release reaction, and it definitely has nothing to do with the specifically sexist/misogynist reactions to its mere existence, which is what Feig is talking about repsonding to in that article.

I don't know why people still care to exert themselves in ensuring people minimize or in some cases, flat out erase the importance of that immediately sexist reaction to the film's announcement, pre-production, and production. Especially in response to an article about a guy who says his main regret is even attempting to engage with that bullshit.

Horizon certainly isn't the first game to do this and it hopefully won't be the last, even in this year. But goddammit, the fact that I'm in tears typing has to mean something, both for the game's place in pop culture and for the state of games as a whole. Perhaps the title of the article is hyperbolic, but in this very specific moment in time, a game I didn't even fucking want nor have the system for has come to mean a whole lot to me in just a few hours of experiencing it. Horizon is special in that regard, and I give Guerrilla Games a whole lot of my gratitude for it.

I doubt it's anything that dramatic.  With their protected class of shitposters, they get too obnoxious even for the mods/admins and end up getting a ban for a couple weeks or a month.  Rest assured, they're not going anywhere.

The only one poster I know who gets an automatic get of jail free card is Count Dookkake, for reasons we've hashed out several times already.  Anytime someone bans him, it seemingly gets lifted as soon as Evilore sees it (or the cunt texts Evilore directly himself).

I get the feeling something big happened and the mods purged, retracted, and deleted all harmful posts from their special pets. It wouldn't be the first time.

I doubt it's anything that dramatic.  With their protected class of shitposters, they get too obnoxious even for the mods/admins and end up getting a ban for a couple weeks or a month.  Rest assured, they're not going anywhere.

The only one poster I know who gets an automatic get of jail free card is Count Dookkake, for reasons we've hashed out several times already.  Anytime someone bans him, it seemingly gets lifted as soon as Evilore sees it (or the cunt texts Evilore directly himself).

Sigh, I used to be like that with EL.  And then he stopped going to #ga and let the mods take charge.
sigh

I was reading the MGS4 wiki entry and noticed that GAF was mentioned in the reviews section so I clicked the link to view their wiki and noticed something strange....
Why doesn't everyone take a look at "Owner" lmao

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeoGAF

Not just the owner...take a look at the history section.  :lol



Somebody went nuts there.

If a small group of neonazis had the power to influence everyone to hate a movie, why couldn't the racist star wars fans make everyone hate the force awakens? And that wasn't even that great.

I don't understand the character you're playing right now.

Like, gag posts aside, (hopefully) stepping out of character: are you saying you've actually watched all those movies and come to the conclusion not a single one of them is rated above "garbage" in your eyes?

Quote
I don't have you kids fuckin' memorized, Jesus. It's why I asked you to drop the gimmick if there was one!


Quote
Update: Scott Mendelson of Forbes has weighed in with a piece entitled "Leave Them Wanting More: In Defense of Warner Bros.' Wonder Woman Marketing"

The first sentence is interesting:

"Warner Bros. made good on their unofficial #WonderWednesday promises by dropping two new Wonder Woman TV spots. "

The two new TV spots were released on Thursday, in fact.

Anyway, a lot of the arguments you will read in his piece have already been put forth by people posting in this thread, but it'll be nice to see it there as well, more concisely arranged underneath his wonderful byline photo.

Quote
Of course you can. That's the whole point of comparison. To stand two similar things next to each other and see who does it the best.

Quote
What?

The whole reason you have these facts is because people started actually asking questions, and other people started scouting around for answers. People in this thread, people in the entertainment press, people on twitter. The question got posed, people started answering it. Those answers were being posted in here as they were given.

Like, is giving a fuck a crime or something? This happened earlier in the thread, too - this sort of weird disdain for the act of caring about shit. I don't get it.

I would watch a Vice documentary on the guys who put together these shit-ass memes.

Just sit down & turn a camera on as they narrate their process.

I bet it'd be fuckin' fascinating. The confidence on display. The knowledge that confidence will be rewarded with a ton of social media shares. The total lack of self-awareness (or design ability). The decisionmaking skills, or lack thereof.

a) :smug

b) :snob

c) :bobby

d) All of the above

The confidence on display. The knowledge that confidence will be rewarded with a ton of neogaf answers and reposts on the Bore. The total lack of self-awareness (or writing ability). The decisionmaking skills, or lack thereof.

I use italics at mostly inappropriate times to exasperate anyone I'm conversing with.

Do I seem more intelligent while discussing Star Wars and Wonder Woman thanks to my italicized words?

Given the rumors the movie is a mess, thinking WB is going to try and front load the shit out of it with a short ad blitz and hope for the best.

from that trump supporters are not necessarily nazis thread ( http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1366558 ), somebody said they couldn't fathom cutting off ties with family over something like voting for Trump
Quote
Trump's "political views" involves actual innocent people's lives being endangered greatly with his hateful rhetoric and politics just because they look, worship, or love different than the straight white Christian man.

Fuck anyone in my family, which I have said multiple times in the past, if they voted for him. Luckily, they lived through an actual fascist state and knows what Trump and his ilk stands for, so they didn't vote for him.

I put the lives of future generations and humanity as a whole over my family and myself.
Quote
One of my cousins called me a fuckin cuck over criticizing the administration. Nothankyou.png

Fuck family that accepts his bullshit.
Quote
I have enough "family" that I can live without the ones who want to endorse such an awful man.
Quote
Thankfully my family doesn't have those utterly useless pieces of shit. If it did, FUCK THEM. I do not care about being at the table and having "bonds" with scum that hates me for being who I am and denies the humanity of the people I care about. "Family" is not a motherfucking free pass to be human shit.
Quote
Hate and denying other human beings dignity human rights is not a political view. It's being a piece of human shit. Do not divinize the concept of family, it isn't a free pass to be a shitlord without consequences.
Quote
The hell? There really is nothing to be healed. I can wonderfully function with just my s/o and friends, thank you. And all of those wouldn't do something so at best ignorant as voting Trump (or in my case the AfD).

Blood bonds aren't some magical pact that I have to hold above my sense for morality. No thank you.

Thankfully it hasn't ever come to that with my family.
Quote
I really don't see how voting to fuck over people (maybe not intentionally, but at least accepting of it) isn't just as bad or worse than calling someone names for their vote.
Quote
What's sad is being unable to realize your family members as human beings just as flawed as anyone else and instead putting them on a pedestal just because they're a biological extension of yourself.

That's sad. And tremendously egotistical.

Societal constructs based around biological factors, not even once.

i'm putting on my steve youngblood hat and saying

-LKBAP got got for essentially thread shitting to the point where he has the second most posts in the thread (behind the even worse Lord Freiza), all of which seem to be sarcastically taking the position that Trump voters are brilliant geniuses and thus actual Nazi's and so why even allow such a discussion topic
-Lime's actually been banned for a month now for what appears to be criticism of the Syria bombing? And asking how someone sleeps at night after they posted that the entire area should be turned to glass. At least that's their last thirty some posts before the single person who is definitely always truthful about themselves owned account was banned.
-Frozenprince seemed to not take Obama being criticized well:

These are all probably permabans unfortunately for the NeoGAF.com forums but that's what's required for facts and evidence, presented within the confines of civil, inclusive discourse, to prevail through careful moderation. That was the reason Dennis had to go.

Well, that and his constant posting of Gamergate propaganda.
