 Actresses/actors of a big budget superhero movie were edited to be slimmer/stronger in post-production.

 "Did she approve of this? I can't wait to hear her take."
 "Society has finally got to this point, huh?"

Did you know that movies use a technique called "makeup" to make actors and actress look better than they do in real life? It's a huge problem!

Is simple:

Let us have the threads that promotes our points of view (in this case, female gamers are on the rise so we need to be less "dudebro") without changing our points of view (most female audience are in mobile or social games, so pretty little incentive from big companies to appeal this in the console space).

By this point, Nirolak seems to only create threads pro mobile.

I thought the guy besada was replying to was saying that digital only platforms being included with platforms that can have physical media was silly as a measurement of what people prefer.

If Le Pen wins this, the citizens of the West need to take a good, long look in the mirror.

Three separate countries going full self-destruct mode. Not okay.

So now its between a extreme-right and a liberal-right candidates?

This is exactly the worst combination for a 2nd round, the only one that can lead to Le Pen winning.

And even if she doesnt win, a liberal as a president, against the welfare state... I'm sorry for the French people.

Also:

If you're able to make an argument without saying anything racist or insulting people, you won't get banned on neogaf.

This whole mess plays directly into Russia's ongoing trolling and astroturfing campaign.

Even this site is so polluted with that garbage that it's impossible to have a conversation that isn't colored by outside agitation.

If I were Putin I'd be clapping my hands with glee that liberals are opening themselves up to it again. they don't even have to waste time propping up Le Pen and May and Trump, they can just throw the occasional cat amongst our pigeons and watch us fight about phantom problems.

Melanchon sounds like he is basically Bernie Sanders but French, right down to being wishy washy on supporting anyone who does not fully agree with his extremely specific views.

Gotta wonder how much this election is costing the French people. So many police/protesters on the streets.

fuck Mélanchon and fuck Fillon, both equally Putin puppets as Le Pen.

JLM's cowardice in the face of fascism was expected but still disturbing. What kind of leftist sits idly as the far right rises to the seats of power? A leftist that is not worth as much as he thinks.

Hamon was the true standard bearer of the left this election. Sad he got so little. Still, it would have been better to have had a Melenchon vs Macron run off, so I am also annoyed that Hamon didn't withdraw. As much as I dislike JLM he is better than MLP. But now Hamon is doing his duty and Melenchon is not. Shame on Melenchon.

Fucking bigots rise continues unabated. Disgusting and disturbing.

The Western world has went back in time to the early 20th century.

I know not all the results are in but having the Far Right get though to the next round is quite terrifying really.
Something I thought would not have been possible a couple of years ago.

these hot takes yo, i'm burnin myself

[VomKriege]

The far left people who are sad that a dictator ass-eater like Melenchon didn't win make me >_>

A communist who denies war crimes in Syria until his poll numbers are good is not someone who cares about human rights or anything other than the glorious revolution.

Get this man a job on french TV.

All the other candidates withdrew giving it to Le Pen since the entire election is hopeless because Trump and Brexit won.

OK, that one is great.

[benjipwns]

we're finally free:

Bill Maher is like a Republican that just tells everybody he's a liberal.

oh wait he's back with us again:

Is Bill Maher a liberal? The only thing that I know of his act is that he's a pot stirring shit slinging asshole, but he doesn't seem particularly liberal in the common modern sense. He's more like an anarcholibertarian.

Now I'm just confused about this whole thing:

Yep.

He has been Evil Jon Stewart since the beginning of time.

It depends on how far you want to stretch what a liberal is. I feel like you can lean left and not be a liberal.

And it's worth adding that the issue with Maher and Islam isn't that he's "tough" on Islam. It's the way he presents it in the context of ISIS. It's incredibly disingenous and culturally tone deaf to the current environment. Frankly, it's pretty right-wing, and he deserves any and all shit he gets for playing into it.

[benjipwns]

I'm cheering for Le Pen, she would be France's first female president.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=234542159&postcount=3758

I challenge people to read the BBC profile of Le Pen and come away with the idea she is totally racist anti-Semitic and hard right wing:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/.../marine_le_pen

She is nationalist and she is anti EU and she is too generous to Putin and she is tougher on mass Muslim immigration or mass any immigration. All true.
But I think Trump is far FAR worse In terms of stupidity but also how far right he is. Le Pen isn't out to demolish the state and social services, or be a military adventurist, she would be soundly rejected by the GOP if she was trying to run in the USA.

While all this is going on, I have got to work out my strategy for making my vote count. It's tricky.

See, me and Mrs phisheep are politically some way apart so our votes cancel out. Usually I get up early and sneak off to mark my ballot while she is still asleep. Then sometime in the afternoon she asks "aren't you going to vote then?", at which point I get a rush of honesty and tell her I've already voted - whereupon she dashes off to the polling station.

Also, I understand fewer of the sentences in this thread than the French election one, and this one's supposedly in English.

Can't help but put my tinfoil hat on and wonder if Mélenchon was a late attempt from Putin to derail Macron... and damn, it almost worked.

He appeared right after it became obvious that Macron was the one to beat and has syphoned away a lot of votes from Macron in second round polls, although it also took away support from Le Pen.

Edit: God damn, polls look like they'll be spot on, with less than a 1% variance. Especially that Ipsos exit poll.

How did the French get to have such good polling? Has Nate talked about this?

[VomKriege]

Yes, Mélenchon appeared out of thin air in 2017 and he's syphoning the votes for a centrist liberal banker with his neo-marxist rhetoric.

[benjipwns]

Putin doesn't give a shit to have a direct puppet, he wants to weaken the EU and western countries influence.
Mélenchon would have done that for free.

It's simple Mélenchon is a Euroskeptic candidate, he doesn't hide it and is that close to actually wanting France out of the eurozone.
That meshes well with Putin's goal.
A strong EU is bad for Russia, Mélenchon would have weakened it.
It's not that Putin wants Mélenchon, he wants anyone who is for stalling or reversing EU integration.
Best case for Russia is FN but Asselineau or Mélenchon would be ok.

you sound like a melenchon stooge on the internet

Putin supported directly Lepen already, Mélenchon had a large internet base (as in people).
Putin certainly could have provided support there.
We also know that RT and other Russian channel tried to influence French election using fake stories and such.
Some were used by Melenchon stooges to tear down Macron.
He doesn't need to send big bag of money to support Mélenchon either.

[benjipwns]

It's no campaign or much thought behind it, lol. I said it was a "tinfoil hat" thing. But if one buys into the idea that Putin is single handedly manipulating elections everywhere (I don't believe so) then Mélenchon suddenly having a big online presence on social media in the last few weeks seems suspicious, if you didn't know about Mélenchon before.

It was painfully obvious how bots on Twitter, RT, Wikileaks and Sputnik suddenly preaching talking against Macron after polls showed he had a real chance, so it's not the most outlandish idea that, with the prospect of Le Pen fading, they tried to get another candidate to take away votes from Macron, this time from the left.


But, again, my "bad hypothesis" was a way to ask for any info from you or others here on the subject or if anybody else has talked about it.

Like Mael said, I don't think there was any direct contact between Mélenchon and Russia, but there doesn't need to be in order for internet bots and pro-Russian agencies to detect a potential new candidate in the race that could help their interest.

i wonder what he'd think if he did believe Putin was trying to manipulate elections everywhere

Well that is where I would probably start earning my 'stooge' card then.

Russia is gonna do Russia things, no need to then start throwing in some reckless speculation  to forward an argument that people should think there is a higher probability that Melenchon was in cahoots with Putin then actually exists.

[benjipwns]

I'm sorry, was GAf hoping for Le Pen to win?

No, see they got burned by guys like Sam Wang telling them 99.9999% chance for Clinton, so they think Macron's 30 point lead is going to evaporate in two weeks because Trump. Also Brexit. And by "they" I mean a bunch of Americans wading into the French election thread who know "Trump = Hitler = Le Pen" and "POLLS WERE LIES BEFORE" and watching the John Oliver segment probably actually would be ten times the information they have.
