VOAT Containment Megathread of Trash People for Trash People

[Himu]

Never mind that the thread lyte posted doesn't say the guy is hitler.

[VomKriege]

Trump's a big enough asshole all by himself to not need to be painted as the reincarnation of Hitler, all that does is make people ignore you for lacking an ounce of sense, perspective and scale.

I don't disagree but while, as benjipwns aptly explained, the situation now is very different from interwar Europe, it is the most vivid analogy we have of a political wave sweeping several countries and resulting ultimately on racist violence condoned and conducted by nation-states. Call me pessimistic but I don't think it's out of the question that down the line (half to a decade to a decade) and should far-right politicians have their way we may look up to mass deportations and/or ignominious policies.

EDIT : As an aside, I always thought that the european radical-left going full 'tard on W.Bush post-9/11, eager to believe any ridiculous conspiracy and the most cartoonish explanations was downright ridiculous.

In the end I guess it comes down to whether or not you believe Trump is different.

[Joe Molotov]

Duke, who last week lost his longshot bid for the US Senate seat from Louisiana, said he plans on expanding his radio show and is hoping to launch a 24 hour online news show with a similar approach to Comedy Central's Daily Show.

I see he's taking the Donald Trump approach to sleeping.

[stufte]

All the chicken littling and godwining is just as lame now as when people did it to Obama. Or Bush. It's reductionist and simple-minded to compare anyone in US politics to the likes of Hitler.

I disagree, it looks like, despite a lot of effort being put in some areas, the game will be completely janky.

 The graphics, the animations, the entire driving mechanic, the "part1/part2" thing etc. etc. etc. all remind me of things that belong early access games. It's the shitty patchwork equivalent of JRPGs, the only exception being that you have to sell 10s of millions of quilts just to break even.

 I say this as someone who really likes what Final Fantasy has to offer, btw.

I'm not sure you saw the thread title.

Pokemon always gets high scores. We already discussed the game is the very definition of overrated.

[Boredfrom]

Pokemon is overrated but is still probably better than must JRPG stuff this year or the rest is too niche to make people care to build a case for it.

[I'm a Puppy!]

I made the mistake of looking at GAF while on a bathroom break and saw that Chili's thread was up and something like 8 or 9 pages. I was like "I wonder what Chili's did to apologize, and why is this thread so damned long? How many pages of 'gross' is necessary?" So I click the thread to see if there was any news on the last page or so. It was just a swathe of posters quoting one very poor and obvious troll and being like "Wow!" and dog piling. I mean come on GAF. The guy was an obvious troll that wouldn't make a 12 year old playing battlefield raise an eyebrow and you're all legit shook?

At the very least SMT4A's soundtrack will crush Pokemon.

“Is there anything we can do to stop this,” Wolfhowwl wrote in a post on the NeoGAF message board, a community of passionate gamers. “FFXV is too important to be sabotaged by the ill informed rants of an uncultured Western talk show host. I felt sickened just seeing all the hard work of [game director Hajime] Tabata-san and others being insulted like this.”

Astroturfers are people who fake being random people but are in fact paid schills to promote a product.

Like when you see "Gee, certainly cant wait for that Pokemon! Super hyped!" or "LOL! Look at this hilarious video about Pokemon!"

I was on stage at Javits Center the night Hillary lost

So I've been reading threads on GAF for the last few days and can't believe its already been a week since Hillary lost. I'm not a prolific poster here but possibly as a process of catharsis for myself figured I would post a quick thread and perhaps a short AMA if anyone had any questions. I searched for a thread but only found one that was locked due to name-calling so mods please lock if against TOS etc.

The whole evening was a shit show and truly I think its because the campaign could never figure out if they were going to win or not. They not once ever had strong evidence that they were a lock to win, this was way back from Bernie days, all the way through the general and Trump i.e. Everyone saying they assumed they were going to win is wrong.

Wonder how this'll go.

Let's be honest, if Sanders lost the primary and Hillary lost the general, both of them are losers, and neither is the future.

Wouldn't that mean that Hillary was a loser in 2008 and wasn't the future ?

To understand this election you have to understand what a complete fucking breakdown of polling it was. Polling is how you make strategic decisions, see where you're weak and where you're strong. She had like a six point lead in Wisconsin for ages, literally no-one in any role, strategist or pundit, credibly thought that was "wrong"

Out of all the talking points, this is the one that angers me the most. "The strategy was sound according to the data. But the data was wrong." as if the fucking "data" itself was a fact of nature.

[Boredfrom]

Look, next time, we just have to fix the data and winning is assured. A six-point lead in Wisconsin wasn't enough.

For my 2018 model I'm assuming the electorate is 30% black in every state.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=224601327&postcount=1809

Notice how in the first couple of hundred posts after the segment was actually up, the only "negative" posts are from people who want to reaffirm their opinion so they can have "I always knew I was right" moments and none from the so called "butthurt fans" against Conan.  This is why these FFXV threads go for so long.  It's because you have so many people and even so many mods(which people seem to worship here) saying this game is shit, without even playing the latest demo or even reading a complete preview (how many of you actually even read the full EDGE preview?).  Someone can not even say NMS got as much hate because they hardly showed or let anyone see or preview before the release of the game.

And people wondering why they didn't make any comment on Cidney...it is strange they didn't, but you have threads on GAF calling the game sexist for what little we know about the female characters.  A new president known for being a bigot was just elected.  I get the feeling they didn't want to stir up any controversy.

Honestly, yes, a lot of the data had poor underlying assumptions, but as more stuff comes out, it seems like the Hillary campaign had some glaring flaws in their own process of analyzing the numbers that exacerbated this.

[zepblackstar]

People on the ground in Michigan and Wisconsin months before told them come up there and they barely did till the last weeks of the campaign.

[VomKriege]

Yeah, but that's my point. The data itself can be flawed or imprecise, especially when you extrapolate and model on such a scale. Relying as much on data as they reportedly did is also a conscious choice the campaign made. Beyond that, it's actually not all that clear they played the best playbook relative to the (flawed) info they had.

Did they not realize early voting was open to everybody? And not just hillary fans?

oh the hispanic voters were higher but

Overall, 35% of Latino voters in Florida supported Trump, but that share was down from 2012, when Mitt Romney won 39% of their vote.

Great, we have to hear about this Straw Man for the next four years.

It refers to the idea that Trump voters were mostly motivated by "economic anxiety" and were in no way supportive of the bigotry that the campaign interwove with their talk of job being sent off to foreign lands while foreigners snuck in to steal them from hardworking Americans.

"Alt-right" is literally just a media-savvy repackaging of the far right and neofascists for the Internet age, which have proven adept at surfing on outbursts of reactionary sentiment. That's really all there is to it.
