Are you one of those #BlueLivesMatter folks? Because if no, then you're fine.

Really, I respect cops due to the fact that put their lives on the line to "protect and serve" but seeing actual folks with disabilities get shot because the cops won't listen to the crowd that is yelling the disability/problem of the subject not complying at them, them being distrustful of blacks, etc. etc. etc. and knowing an actual cop that has that "good ol' boy"/protect-the-wagons mentality: I can't blame folks for not trusting cops.

So this is how it ends.

Though this works, too.

[Tripon]

I mean, Blue Lives Matter as a phrase started directly because of Black Lives Matter and the backlash to it. The current run of a subset of society trying to deify and protect cops has been going on for a while, way before Trump publicly endorsing Cops... sorta. 

Trump is on cops side right up until he starts getting investigated, unless for some reason you think the FBI aren't cops.

[PogiJones]

I'm an all-sides-usually-have-some-merit-though-some-more-than-others kind of guy. I think it's pretty undeniable that black people are treated unfairly by the system. I think a lot of their hardship is left over from slavery -> Jim Crow -> Etc.

And I also think that cops need to be held accountable. So no, I'm not #bluelivesmatter, and I think the overall goal of BLM is good, even if I often disagree with some people's methods of getting there.

What I oppose is the generalization of cops as bad because some are bad.

There's a weird tension with cops. Because they carry life-and-death on their waists, their standard of behavior should be higher. But because they're constantly putting their lives on the line and experiencing stress that normal people don't experience, their standard of behavior should be given leniency. So it's a weird question as to whether they as public servants should be overall held to a higher standard or allowed more mistakes. I don't have an answer for that.

What I do know is that almost every cop I've ever met is a good-to-great person. And none that I know have ever shot anyone, as far as I know.

Where is anybody in this thread doing that? Some people are commenting on the movie, some hate it, some liked it, most are ok with Jones being angry. The discussion is civil. Politely quit astro-turfing you blatant troll.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/leslie-jones-heavily-criticizes-announcement-of-ghostbusters-3.94862/post-17090674

I still don't understand what point you were attempting to make then.
"This thread is full of different races of people who are telling LJ that her film was shit, but white dudes - I AM LOOKING AT YOU".

Bizarre.

Normal people would just take the L when they finally went to see a film that was deeply mediocre and then realise the fabricated outrage was part of a marketing stunt, and maybe not jump on the next Corporate Sponsored Outrage Bandwagon that rolls along so quickly.

But certain era folk seem pathologically averse to ever admitting to their own faults, so consequently never learn shit, and are stuck in this angst ridden moody adolescent phase, where everything thats wrong is because everyone and everything that is not them is to blame, and they become increasingly divorced from the reality that is and the 'but I'm right' universe in their heads, and increasingly angry and bitter that nothing goes the way they think it should go.

"constantly puting their lives on the line".... why can't people discuss cops without this hyperbole?

Cops are shown videos of standard traffic stops where the cop walks up and then gets shot dead. Even if the threat doesn't exist in reality, from the perspective of a cop every interaction could turn deadly.

You could say that this paranoia is unjustified, but I think it's justified given how freely accessible guns are. Which is why I'm pro gun control. (Ironically, most cops aren't. I think they're mistaken about that.)

there's like 50 different jobs more dangerous than police work, nobody excuses any of them for being shitty because they have a dangerous job. foh

"Blue Lives Matter" is such a ridiculous slogan because cops always get a huge benefit of a doubt in the legal system and in a lot of cases even when they did receive actual punishment for misdeeds they just end up being shuffled to another police department somewhere else.

On topic, I feel so bad for Leslie.  By all accounts i heard, she was the best part of an underwhelming movie.  What should have just been a forgettable remake was transformed into a referendum on gender-swapped remakes by the internet hate brigade.

I was legitimately fearful FOR her, back when the movie was releasing.  I thought at least one "troll" was going to actually try to harm her.  So I completely understand the place she's coming from with her comments.  She suffered through so much, and now they're trying to bury the bodies before they're even cold.  Like damn.

I could be wrong about this, but I think people using blue lives matter are more advocating against the current cultural changes that are making cops out generally to be villains. I'm not sure many invoking that phrase are arguing for legal changes.

Black Lives Matter definitely has a focus on the legal end of things. I think that's partly why people on each side are so misunderstanding each other, because they're actually focused on different things. BlueLM thinks BlackLM wants people to hate cops; BlackLM thinks BlueLM wants cops to be able to kill innocent black kids and get off Scot-free.

[PogiJones]

I mean.. every interaction anyone has can turn deadly... that could be anyone's perspective.

That includes being pulled over by a cop, while complying with every order.. something we've all seen videos of. 

They benefit from the culture of worship, the endless hyperbole.. as do people who join the military.   I seriously doubt many cops are really that paranoid.

While technically true, we're talking about probabilities here.

When you walk up to someone's car, there is no tension inherent there. The probability of a civilian randomly shooting a civilian who walks up to their car is almost zero.

But with a cop walking up to a car, there is tension there. The cop feels like there may be danger, and the person pulled over is mad and also feels like there may be danger. This in turn leads to there actually being danger, as both the cop and the civilian are more on edge than they otherwise would be. The tension is inherent to the situation they're in. So the risks are much higher.

There's a video on youtube of an anti-cop activist guy who undergoes training and gets in simulated situations a cop might get in. First scenario he dies because he's not expecting it. Second scenario he kills an innocent person. Afterward he talks about how he has more understanding for why cops act the way they do.

I'm not sure where the video is, but people here probably don't care anyway. They're already sick of my careposts.

Is the 2016 Ghostbusters movie considered progressive because the main cast was all women?
I remember that shit being very white and the one non-white person was a "street-wise" stereotype. A bunch of white women does not a progressive movie make.
I get Leslie's anger though, she caught most of the shit from the whiny man babies during the films release.

Puttin' white bitches in their place

[PogiJones]

I haven't seen Ghostbusters 2016; was it really as bad as people make it out to be? It's got a 51% audience score on RT, which is "rotten," but not horrible.

Its super mediocre. Which is not a place a piece of entertainment particularly wants to be.
You'll have basically forgotten it 2 hours after watching.

e:
Its really tonally off, because its like watching an episode of The Office, where people are basically just riffing on random shit without a care in the world, but its also a summer blockbuster with high stakes big budget action sequences. Its just a mess, and there are so many different ways it could have been made that wouldn't have ended up weird and mediocre and forgettable.

[Nintex]

Leslie Jones made a horrible movie

We dint count. It’s like something trump would do.

No, Trump would make a horrible movie that everyone would hate.

JUST LIKE YOU DID LESLIE

It's fucking terrible. They put these characters in seemingly random scenes telling them: "NOW BE FUNNY"
"LOL I'm farting out of my vagina HAHAHAHA" OK CUT!

And then bolt on the cheap special effects.

Or maybe that's just the culture war surrounding it that hasn't been forgotten.

It's like, does anybody remember that Total Recall remake? What about that Robocop remake? They came and went so fast that people barely even remember that they existed. The only reason anybody remembers Ghostbusters 2016 is because Peter Cetera-types use it as a flash point, and even they had forgotten about it until just now.

"constantly puting their lives on the line".... why can't people discuss cops without this hyperbole?

what's worse is how cops use this line to try and gain sympathy with people.. like.. no one forced you to be a cop lol.

you rarely hear military people whining about how hard their job is and the danger they are in

[FStop7]

Lol @ thinking cop worshipping only appeared in response to BLM

I don't remember those corny "blue line" American flags being around before BLM.

[Nintex]

What cops don't seem to realize is that most other people have their lives on the line much the same way.
But likely not a gun and badge that acts as a get out of free jail card when they shoot someone and also not a backup gang with cars and helicopters.

Kingdom Come's racist ass, Nazi developer ass doesn't deserve any attention and should continued to be ignored. Congrats to the other games though

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is one my favorite games of last year. I believe it to be one of the strongest open-world games since Fallout: New Vegas, and yet it's largely ignored on this ResetEra.

Surprised by how much they loved Dragon Quest 11.
RPG Codex is a trashfire site, though, and deserves no consideration from us.

Yeah, Kingdom Come is ignored for a reason. Ain't got no time for that garbo.

Yeah, it's a site filled with 4chan style edgelords/alt-righters/GGers. There's a reason why they have no issues highlighting Kingdom Come Deliverance.

Kingdom Come fucking blows even if you somehow forget its a GamerGate product. The people on this forum who sing its praises are completely suspect.

I'm not saying everyone who likes KCD is a neo-Nazi. As an RPG fan, there's a lot about it that interests me.
I am saying that most people on RPGC is a neo-Nazi, and they like KCD, an incidence that isn't coincidental.

It's actually quite relevant due to the fact that they money he makes off of this product goes towards his pocket, which allows him to have larger reach and a bigger stage to spout his shit (i.e; Notch). And this situation is better than the Minecraft one, because Notch didn't out himself as a shitheel until after it all took off and he made billions, this piece of work is mouthing off and supporting shit before potentially making "fuck you" money. So I'd rather potentially nip this Nazi in bud, thanks.

Not a fan of the whole, separate the art from the artist deal.

as a codexer who voted for pathfinder, KCD and atom (btw two of those games are RUSSIAN ) I must say I am absolutely ROCK HARD looking at that thread..

 

[Nintex]

I say just use drones with hellfire missiles for traffic stops.

You might never know if the driver carries an RPG. Better be safe than sorry.

[Jenkem]

Exactly. Trump is something which has caused enormous amount of harm to countless people. Deep, meaningful, historic levels of harm. The ghost busters reboot isn't the spawn of satan, but it's shit.

Benji, can I get a fact check?

[Great Rumbler]

While technically true, we're talking about probabilities here.

Yet still incredibly low probabilities, like way less than 1 in a million for some random traffic stop.

Since people are likely to be curious [as I was], here's a link to a study done in 2001 about the dangers of traffic stops for cops:

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.544.766&rep=rep1&type=pdf

tl;dr even under the lowest estimate for total number of stops, death happened on average of 1 in 6.7 million stops and "assault" occurred in 1 in 10,000 stops

User Banned (1 Week): Minimizing the impact of hate and harassment movements

Now lets never ever mention the 2016 Ghostbusters movie ever again

I didn’t see The Ghostbusters with the female cast. Was it good?

*Hold my beer*

A lot was wrong about it - wrong director who had the wrong script AND the wrong cast for the roles.

It was also wrong for them to try and turn the backlash of ruining a classic 80's franchise by painting it a man vs woman argument.

I'm glad it failed.

You know what, you're right, riotous. "Constantly" was hyperbolic.

But when police shootings happen, 99% are when there is real danger. I guess what I was trying to say is that the times where police do something where we are judging their actions, a lot of the time it is while they are experience danger and an amount of stress normal people don't understand. Sometimes that's not the case, when a bad cop shoots someone in the back.

But you're right. They're not constantly in danger. Just (usually) when they perform the actions for which we are judging them.

Firefighters are heroes. Teachers are heroes. Police that don't have guns are heroes.

LMAO. This has gotta be the worst post I have read on this forum yet. Imagine watching the movie for 20 minutes then leaves and write up a review like you are some kind of movie critique. You are either a troll or you are just stupid. You are most definitely a troll since you criticize Goku’s character but 20 minutes in it was still mostly flashbacks to 40 years ago. So fuck off with your stupid trolling dumbass.
