So this guy got warned for his opinion.
Quote
Messaging boards are always known for being a hub for outrage and protesting.

My opinion of it is there are women in the world who get murdered for wanting an education, or sometimes worse. Yet on messaging boards, we see people getting offended over what a fictional character wears.

Kind of summarises the situation really.

This was the warning.

The user was warned for this post. 'Whataboutisms' are the tools of those who don't like arguing in good faith. A bigger problem existing doesn't invalidate the discussion of smaller ones.

I will mention, it is not really a whataboutism. He just thinks the problem is trivial and insignificant compared to other issues around the world. A whataboutism is more of a charge of hypocrisy without actually refuting the argument. something like, "what about the crusades" when talking about Islamic violence, for example.

I read it more like "You dumbfucks get triggered over the most insignificant shit imaginable."

Well, I guess that is another way of putting it. lol

Well, he's not wrong. But then again, I got permad from GAF for sharing such problematic opinions, so I may have a bias.

"We must ban violent games cause your kids will become serial killers" Round 2.
I think the perfect video game is where you walk around and meet people of all different kinds of minorities. All in frumpy non-revealing clothes. No violence. No white/cis/or hetero people. No jumping or running either, that's ableist.  No trading either, that's classist.

So No Man's Sky with minorities (and minus the gun). It'll be great! Everyone loved No Man's Sky!!

That thing is $100!?

 :success

I believe, but I may be wrong, that a lot of the figurines are made in relatively small production runs. Some are even considered "garage" or artisanal to an extent. This may explain some of the rarity and prices. This particular figurine is 1/6 as well, so somewhat large (30cm/12inches approx).

There's a variety of smaller, lesser quality models manufactured by bigger brands that will fetch more reasonable prices but yeah overall it seems like a hefty lobby.

Yup, very low production runs and rarely do they remake anything.   If you don't pre-order stuff, chances are pretty high that the figure will disappear or get re-sold for 2-3 times the price pretty quickly.  Some Asian online stores also treat pre-orders as serious business and if you try to back out of buying something, they will ban you from making further orders.   That goes for all merchandise, not just the figures.  I order games from Play-Asia semi-regularly and they will sometimes make it really difficult to cancel a pre-order.  I ordered a SHMUP game coming this week or next week for PS4 only to find out that it's coming out in the States early next year, but just said "fuck it" and kept the pre-order instead of trying to deal with them about it. 

Back in Japan a buddy of mine used to scour used shops for various toys and video game stuff that he knew could easily resell and make a nice tidy profit on.  Times have changed and Japanese sellers are now fully-aware of eBay and the like though.  Used to be everything was just on Yahoo Auction over there.

When someone like Platy talks about videogames being brainwashing machines (with conservative ideology), she is basically admitting she wants the brainwashing to be in their favor. The casual resistance to that is why "gamers are defensive" when it gets pushed through criticism (like, why isn't Cuphead about anti-racism).

Platy is a crazy person.

Platy is just one tiny step up from Huelen and Holy Baikal level of crazy.
Huelen's just kinda too engaged and enthusiastic at high levels to things more than really special GAF/ERA crazy I think. During the bulk of the primaries when xhe was arguing for Bernie, it was more of a passing interest topic than something xhe had been dedicated to for decades like Sonic's eye color, and was probably one of the more restrained Bernie posters despite the daily beatings from Peter Daou's and the Clinton campaign's multiple GAF accounts. Even saw posts where xhe dropped a BernieBro attack line from the repertoire because HillaryGAF fought back so hard against it and would say something like "this probably isn't a good reason" since it wasn't in favor of Bernie.

Really a lot of the posts near the endgame where people screaming about how everyone has to vote for Hillary AND ITS A LOST CAUSE GIVE UP YOUR PROTEST VOTE WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING and Huelen would pretty calmly post about how they'll support Hillary in the end but for now they're going to support Bernie because he is the one xhe wanted.

But I don't think Huelen disconnected from certain Berniehardcore circles or was just deliberately riling up PoliGAF before the ban by regularly suggesting getting Trump might be better than Hillary in the long run if it leaves a vacuum in the Democrats Bernie supporters could fill. There were a handful of people they couldn't seem to get banned driving them far crazier about that.

I don't know if xir reasoning continued down this path or not though as I started tuning out PoliGAF for months. :trumps

In any case, I guess I'm saying I've never seen a reasonable post from those two, but Huelen on less LOCKED IN topics has seemed almost normal.

No , it's a term used by alt-right fucks in order to dismiss and devaluate "liberal" point of views . Your usage of the term speaks volumes to your character and the intent of your posts throughout this thread.

The Alt-Right is a really quite recent phenomenon. The question I would ask this person is: who used it before the Alt-Right came to light? it was certainly used before the Alt-Right became a thing.

The funny thing about this poster is, despite saying that S J W is used to dismiss 'liberal' points of view, they label anyone who uses the term S J W 'alt-right' in order to dismiss their point of view. lol

GAF in it's prime, we're talking 2006-10-ish. Although it had its problems, the overall mood of the place was chill and fun. There were parody threads, people clowned on each other all the time, the discourse wasn't completely one-sided, there wasn't nearly the amount of thought policing as on later day GAF and Risotto (although certain mods still attempted, as I said the site still had problems even back then). It was kind of sort of like a much bigger version of what we have now at the bore, except the moderation on the bore is way more lax than any other forum I've been on. Risotto doesn't hold a candle to old GAF, like they're not even in the same universe.

Alt-right was a term they came up with for themselves and only in the last few years as they discovered politics.

Social studies warrior is apparently a relatively new term too but it's far from a new concept:
Quote
Katherine Martin, the head of U.S. dictionaries at Oxford University Press, says that the term switched from primarily positive to overwhelmingly negative around 2011, when it was first used as an insult on Twitter
Social justice as we understand it today and debate/criticism of the concept has been a standard part of political and philosophical debate since Spinoza and then the American/French Revolutions at minimum. And that's probably only because writers started to separate it from specific religious concepts and into a more universal moral framework or else we could go back even farther. Paine and Jefferson definitely are considering it in a way we'd recognize even if far from really inclusive.

Most of the social studies warriors would just have been called feminazi's or whatever a couple decades ago. Or Cultural Marxists.

The alt-right movement is more distinct because they deliberately attempted to identify their current in some new manner. That may have mostly turned into posting racists memes on the internet and calling people cucks. But if you read that original Milo piece they'd spend all their time infighting over stuff like how the whole one wing of the movement wants to bring back monarchical systems because they result in the best people ruling if they didn't have Trump to unify around blindly and then the liberal cucks sending endless lulz for them to use to doxx vans until they explode.

But mainly I wanted to say that I thought that guy quoted had the user name Smygma and was going to ask the mods to change it to a more userfriendly PenisCoating like they did for Mr. Pantsu earlier.

ERA like NeoGAF.com from which its members fled unhealthy, corrupt and toxic conditions plays pretend leftist. They're usually a bunch of reactionary conservatives on most any topic.

Even gaming side. Nay, especially.

NeoGAF.com used to have more regularly leftist and liberal posters and was still not so tightly wound and flat out paranoid even five years ago, let alone ten.

It saddens me that they don’t realise they are largely responsible for perpetuating and exacerbating their own woes. They are the reason that normal people need to say ‘oh, fuck off’ twice as much as they used to. They’re an ‘oh, fuck off’ factory.

Yeah S J W is fairly recent too, but Alt-Right, although coined by Richard Spencer I think in 2010, has only became significant in the last couple of years. It only really reached media attention within the last election cycle. Before then the term was hardly used. Like on GAF for instance, everyone with a dissenting opinion was an MRA or Gamergater. All of a sudden everyone is Alt-Right. Where I heard the term S J W was from popuar youtubers like Thunderf00t or The Amazing Atheist. Interestingly most of the popular anti-S J W types on Youtube are left leaning. Certainly The Amazing Atheist and Thunderf00t are.

I've never thought of it as an exclusively left-wing or right-wing term. It has a specific meaning that in my mind is legitimate. That being extremely over zealous, sanctimonious assholes who are intolerant of other people's opinions. I know a lot of people who don't simply aim it at 'liberals'. Of course there are some that do. lol

Why would you expect anything different though? It's GAF under a different name and new management. They picked up right where they left off.

First thought was anthrax when I was opening it. I sniffed and checked the paper. Checks out fine.

Wat.

Seriously, go to the police. I don't know what they can actually do but it's better than nothing.

No need to panic, however go to the cops and explain the letter.

As others have mentioned, you should take this to the police. There could have been a mistake with someone else who has the same name and some random drug ring is going to come after you.

For real though, not even joking, talk to the police about it.

The thing about it is that it took years for GAF to move from Fun and Entertaining -> Risky Chris- > Risky Chris =Alt-right

Era is somewhere between the second and third step and it's been like a month or so. The rustled jimmies potential is through the roof.

Why would you expect anything different though? It's GAF under a different name and new management. They picked up right where they left off.

bbbbbbbbbbut cindy mayweather said it would be different

Quote from: More_Badass
We're not talking about people snapping or violent games making people violent

The notion that fiction can influence real life is not a question, and it's more general and broad than "violence". Fiction and reality are not some distant forever-apart entities. Fiction can mold and influence, convince and enlighten, spread and introduce ideas to people. By presenting certain views through specific lenses and scenarios, what is blatant and ugly when exposed and laid bare could be presented as understandable or even logical, easy to digest and believe, made to seem common and normalized

Consider The Birth of a Nation or Bannon’s grotesquely racist and xenophobic favorite novel The Camp of the Saints or the power of propaganda films. The underlying truth is the same. Media that spreads racist, sexist, xenophobic, misogynistic, etc. views can and will influence some who consume it.

User banned (24h): constant derailing with whataboutisms, and now "real gamers don't care about this" -- no, plenty of real gamers do, and are posting in this thread explaining it to you.

Whining about weeb games and harassing other nerds over it is like the modern fight for civil rights. Totally got nothing to do with bitching.

Meanwhile, a quiet thread from yesterday is reignited as Power of Sparda takes the podium and proceeds to enlighten everyone that racism, by definition, is only exhibited by white people only against black people, and thankfully we're dealing with a mere bigot.

Reset is very disturbed to find out they're the minority with their outrage.

As for why people tell them to shut up? Because the people who whine about SJW stuff really don't understand what they're talking about. It's very simplistic, ignorant pearl clutching.

She should be fired, honestly.

Unless she did anything to the babies though (like shook them or touched them inappropriately), there's no reason to put her in jail.
this whataboutism in defense of alt-righters is disgusting
