This is why I love The Bore.  No one is banned, they're just bludgeoned to death lol.

Did i get jumped by a bunch of trans?   

I appreciate thisismyusername coming out and actually explaining things, unlike Cindi just automatically assuming everyone loves dick.

Disgusting.

What did you want me to even explain? You went on random tangents about Caitlyn fucking Jenner! You ask question respectfully, I will answer. But if you're going to act like a weirdo like last page then you're shit out of luck.

[Himu]

Nintendo is rather progressive with having women in lead roles in Japan. Something that not even Western gaming companies have done as well.

All Japanese games have been like that.

But this is my point. Nintendo is a family oriented company. Even then they're pretty progressive for a few qualities like the Animal Crossing series in general. Why would you not expect at least some conservatism with a fucking family company?

[kingv]

the Xbox One's interface is baffling in how bad it is. you have to warp your brain into knots to figure out it's logic, and not a single annoying thing on any other system competes. they're all ingenious compared to the XBO

The worst part is they change it every other year to make it more and more confusing.

[nachobro]

Just say "Hey Cortana play (whatever game/app you want to use)" and it does it. Doesn't get easier than that.

[Himu]

Someone please post the transphobic jokes Chappelle said on his specials. What did he say?!



Please.

Reset was always GAF 2.0. It is literally 90% of GAF's original userbase supplanted on a forum using software that isn't nearly a decade out of date. Those first couple of weeks of sensible moderating (in comparison to GAF) really blinded a lot people. We were so used to GAF terrible moderation that a few examples of sensible moderation from Reset seemed like a revelation.

[nachobro]

well obviously not. you'd have to say "hey cortana bing child brides" and it'd do the rest

Just started watching the first of the two new Chappelle specials and he's going on about how he wants to stop doing comedy because of how everyone has become overly-sensitive pussy and gets offended by everything.  It felt like he was talking directly to the Neogaf/Resetera crowd. 

Oh snap, here he goes about the transgender community hating him!

But what if Cortana picks up stray words while you merely think she's off? Words such as,"weed","marijuana", "rainbow", "problematic", "toxic", and "anal sex?" Have any ads for gay weed dispensaries lately for you and the wife and cats, Nachosis?!

[bork]

Holy shit    He is going to piss off the trans community even more here.

i bet microsoft wishes they could use cortana for that purpose. every ad on the xbox is for dew, doritos, or begging me to buy xbl gold. an anal sex emporium/weed dispensary combo store would be a lot more interesting than any of those other three.

it's definitely on and scanning all the time though. it signs us in as soon as it sees our faces (even in the dark), which is equally useful and creepy.

A guy who didn't put out any material for a decade, then put out FOUR specials in a year is old and washed up. Lol.

And apparently  "The deal apparently paid off for Netflix, as the company announced in April that Chappelle’s specials were the most-watched comedy specials in the streaming video service’s history." http://ew.com/tv/2017/04/18/netflix-dave-chappelle-specials-records/

[Himu]

Why don't you just watch the fucking show, shit

Fine. I will. It better be funny. I'm catching up on Dragon Ball Super while nurse this cold. 

[bork]

Yup, it's a whole bit and it's a little long.  He also has stuff to say about Rachel Dolezal in there.  He makes jokes about everybody...different groups, races, and yes, transgender.   It is hilarious that people are going to get upset over that but not have a problem with anything else. (Which is kind of what he's going off on- he also went on about how an Asian woman got all pissed off at him for clowning around about her being married to someone from another race and then pointed out that yes...he is married to an Asian woman too, lol.)  Welcome to comedy.

Sounds like HAL. Is there a red light on to signal that it's Cortana?

[bork]

Himu, this might be the best summary of what he has to say:

"[I asked myself] Man, Dave, if you're writing all these jokes, do you have a problem with transgender people?  And the answer is 'absolutely not'.  The fuck do you guys think I am?  I don't understand all the choices that people make, but I do understand that life is hard and that those types of choices do not disqualify you from a life with dignity and happiness and safety in it. 

(Applause)

But if I'm honest...

(Laughter)

My problem has never been with transgender people.  My problem has always been with the dialogue ABOUT transgender people.  I just feel like these things should not be discussed in front of the blacks.  It's fucking insulting how it's about how all these people feel inside.  Since when has America given a FUCK about how *any* of us feel inside?  And I cannot shake this awful suspicion that the only reason everyone is talking about transgenders is because white men want do it.  That's right.  I just said that.

If it was just women that felt that way, or black dudes or Mexican dudes being like 'hey ya'll, we feel like girls inside,' they'd be like [white guy voice] 'shut up nigg3r ,no one asked you how you felt.  Come on everybody, we have strawberries to pick.'

It reeks of white privilege-- you never asked yourself why it was easier for Bruce Jenner to change his gender than it was for Cassius Clay to change his fucking name?"

[Himu]

OMG that shit has my fucking trigger. I'm not watching this! If I watched this I would throw my shoe against my tv! He hasn't learned shit since the first special, which is to say, black trans people exist and we are at the lowest levels of society you dumb ass!

I can't watch. My one trigger. It makes me furious!

[Himu]

This nicca really said trans people are all white.

What world is he living in? Like, even as a black person, that joke ain't even funny. Is Dave still making these jokes for cac audiences?

That displays an embarrassing lack of self awareness. He sounds so butt fucking distinguished mentally-challenged.

[bork]

I'm not gonna type of out the last part but he makes a joke about how he danced with a trans woman and had no idea, then noticed her knuckles and flipped out, with people taking video and yelling "Worldstar!"  The woman got upset when he asked why she didn't tell him and then he kept dancing with her and they had breakfast the next morning.  He told the crowd "that doesn't make me gay...I just titty fucked her!"

No, he didn't.  It's kind of ridiculous to make assumptions like this based on little bits of information and not having watched it.

Cindi, maybe that hormone therapy is fucking with your cognitive abilities.

[bork]

He's talking about it being so prevalent in the media.  You know...making a joke?  It's a comedy special. 

I literally gave you a snippet of what he said.  It's not the whole thing...go watch it.

[nachobro]

Sounds like HAL. Is there a red light on to signal that it's Cortana?

There's a big glowing Xbox logo on it (again, creepy) and three little red dots you can see that I think are related to the IR (but also creepy).

[Assimilate]

I wonder if Cindi realizes the percentage of transgender identifying individuals is something like 55% white/non-hispanic 

[Himu]

I wonder if Assimilate realizes that whites are the majority of the country. And there's no real way to get conclusive data on the trans community because many ghost, go full stealth, or will just say,"I'm not trans. Bye." So even those percentages are pretty shaky and unreliable given we don't even know how many trans people there are. It's almost like you're willingly a moron.

You're baffling. That's the whole point of the fucking joke, it's irrelevant that majority of the country is white. What does that have anything to do with it? If it's perceived as a "white male privilege" than that's why it's getting the attention it is getting. That's the point of his fucking joke.

FUCK 

[Himu]

Stay mad, asshole!

I think what Dave meant is that the recent, more open acceptance, which Caitlyn Jenner received, reeks of white privilege. I don't think you see that happen for black trans people.

If it was just women that felt that way, or black dudes or Mexican dudes being like 'hey ya'll, we feel like girls inside,' they'd be like [white guy voice] 'shut up nigg3r ,no one asked you how you felt.  Come on everybody, we have strawberries to pick.'

[bork]

I should have just posted this, from the start of special #2:

"Sometimes, the funniest thing to say is mean.  You know what I mean?  It's a tough position to be in.    So I say a lot of mean things- but you guys got to remember, I'm not saying it to be mean....I'm saying it because it's funny.  And everything's funny...'til it happens to you."

Cindy. Just watch it. No Netflix access?  Everyone has their take on his special and I can bet my life that most complaining hasn't watched the recent ones. 

Dos Locos can post what he saw, but you're still missing stuff by using secondhand accounts.

[Himu]

Huh. The special was dope. Dos' description was a poor one. I still think the white privilege joke bombed for me, but not every joke is gonna work. Dave is so passionate towards Trump.

[bork]

Huh. The special was dope. Dos' description was a poor one.

I can't fathom how anyone watching Bird Revelation can say this guy has any type of "phobia".

He's completely tuned in.

We need more of this.

[Himu]

Best part of the special was when he was talking about niccas like Nas and the PJs. I feel like such a disconnect with that stuff because I grew up middle class. I know exactly where you're coming from Dave!

I bet PD would love that joke.

[thisismyusername]

Where are you getting that from, sweetie?

Let me highlight where the white folks bit comes in:

the only reason everyone is talking about transgenders is because white men want do it.  That's right.  I just said that.

"The only reason we're talking about transgender folks is because white men care about them" is what he's saying. He's not saying every transgender person is white, he's saying that the only reason we're having this conversation is because "white men care."

(Late post)

I just feel like these things should not be discussed in front of the blacks.

I do agree with the bit here, but on one hand I can understand where he's coming from. Black LGBT are on the "down-low" in general, there's this huge "black masculinity" thing that makes gay issues a "shut the fuck up taco" thing within that community.

I see the forum has now well and truly jumped the shark, not that it hasn't been riding its back for a while.

Mods/admin should give up any pretence of it still being a gaming forum. If it isn't every gaming thread being invaded with irrelevant shit about shoe horning 'diversity' into games, merely as tokenism, rather than wanting original games with well written minority characters, it's complaining about clothing.

In off topic, we're now being being told what is and isn't funny, if we dare to try and view a joke subjectively, BAN!

This forum is the worst of the worst, paedo defence force and completely off the deep end transgender people, who are shoving left leaning people away at a crazy rate.

Maybe it's just me but if you identify as a female you should have a shave, maybe paint your nails, speak in a higher pitched voice and sort your fucking hair out. It used to be the aim to pass, not just to put on a dress whilst having a beard and then getting offended if you're misgendered.

Sorry bro but "I just feel like these things should not be discussed in front of the blacks" how else was I supposed to read the shit other than,"only white people are trans"? Then the note about white privilege. I told you it's my trigger. I am dead serious.

Like, I'm cool with everything else but I become a softie the second he presumes that the trans thing is a white creation. I'm sorry, but I have spent too much time around smart dumb hotep like niccas for me to at least consider that conclusion. PD know what I'm talking about.

[CHOW CHOW]

Can someone explain something to me...

Look, I'm not transphobic.  Life is too busy to care about what gender people you've never met are.  Now that that disclaimer is outta the way I gotta ask -- why is ERA so heavily focused on transgender people?  They're like 1% of the population, am I right?  Yet this forum has these absolutely massive 20, 30, 40, 50/ page threads about literally anything related to transgender.

Games, movies, TV, Dave Chapelle, it's amazing.  It feels like half the staff is trans as well -- I know that's not true but in terms of activity and the warnings and posts you see from the staff, like half of them are from trans people, which doesn't matter I guess so I'm not sure where I'm goin' with that.

Are trans issues the new, hot persecuted minority group or what?  Gay rights have improved considerably, including marriage.  No one cares if you're gay or not unless your'e a bible thumper or some hick in 'Bama.  I'm practically gay myself.  Black people had their moment in the Sun for the past few years with Ferguson, BLM, the statue thing, etc.  So I guess it's on to the next one to increase your virtue score, am I right? 

Makes me wonder what's after transgender issues.  Transracial?  We gonna do that or what?

Look, it's just so........ unlike the real world.... when I read Resetera.  Transgender issues and stuff are such a dominant source of discussion that it makes me furrow the shit outta my brows.  It's just bizarre.  They're like 1 or 2% of the population.  Fifty fucking pages on Dave Chappelle's transphobic comments in his new comedy specials, yet when you walk outside into the real world, it's a complete contrast.  I just don't get it.

Once again, I support transgender people.  I've creampied Shidoshi several times over the past few months.  I don't care who uses which bathroom.  I know gender dysphoria is real and scientifically verified.
