lmao the explanation as to how the handmaidens tale one would work is even worse than him not explaining it:

The show is about a dystopian (emphasis on dystopian) theocratic society where much of the population has become infertile so the remaining fertile women are essentially, by order of law, made into concubines and committed to indentured sexual servitude.

Most left-leaning people like it (it's a cautionary tale that is super forthright about being a cautionary tale and not a fantasy. It's about the importance of bodily autonomy and all that). Right-leaning people are, for obvious reasons, apprehensive toward it. If someone says they've never heard of it then you need a follow up statement at some point. Hard to say exactly what that follow up would be without knowing what your social circle is like and the kind of pop culture references they might be aware of, but I think there are a lot of ways to figure out someone's political leanings without explicitly discussing politics. Whether or not they like Colbert would be an obvious one.

[benjipwns]

this is why ban bot site is so great, i would have never even glanced at this thread, but it let me know there was an OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION to view, and it's the last time anyone posted in the non-locked thread

OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION
This thread is for discussing the OP and related publications and opinions. Let's keep it focused on this rather than taunting others. Thanks.

I scroll up slightly, and here's Autodidact of Moderate Darling™ Fame going ham on the OP:

Not quite.

You made a thread based on the false premise that people were giving Pelosi all the credit and the unions squat even though major media outlets were either talking about the power of a strike the day before the shutdown ended or giving them credit afterward. These articles paired nicely with ones that gave Pelosi credit for what she did and did well - keeping her caucus united and refusing to pay the hostage taker.

99% of the people in this thread said, "Both parties deserve credit," with many apportioning more praise to the unions.

So you made a thread about an article that criticized something literally nobody was saying just so you could... I don't know? Knock Pelosi down a few pegs? Imply that Democrats are stealing the unions' glory? Are neoliberal shills who ignore the ~~~working class~~~? Who cares.

But people didn't bite, and now you're just searching for random-ass people at B-list or worse publications to support this idea that popular sentiment is ignoring the unions and solely, exclusively, or disproportionately crediting Pelosi.

Like a sad little fire desperately searching for oxygen to sustain itself.

I see you.

Colbert was a lot better at lampooning the right through satire than what he does now.

I thought the never admit mistakes, truthiness, BEAR WATCH, etc. stuff that really had nothing to do with "left" or "right" but was just satirizing the whole cable news cycle that we eventually now live in before it happened was his best stuff. I think he realized that too because he leaned increasingly on that and less so on being a mock conservative pundit to drive the show especially after Bush left the scene. Then he'd often just use that part of the persona for the interviews and such. I do remember a few times when he was obviously joking but the person was clearly assblasted by the fake question.

Also #CancelColbert was pretty epic, I wonder what that thread would look like on ResetERA.com. I seem to remember even NeoGAF.com of the...era...had a few people on board with it. Because HUMOR SHOULD NOT PUNCH DOWN, even though it was humor punching up.

ferrousfellow replied to your post: Life pro tip: parodies don't get automatic immunity from being racist.

the goal of humor is to transform. if it enforces racism, then it has failed as a comedy and redoubled the very crime it had a chance to weaken.

Exactly. A "parody" whose target is an oppressed group has really missed the mark.

That's true. His conservative satire was mostly just a medium through which he conveyed humor. Now (from what I've seen) he just pushes on-the-nose politics that he attempts to lace with humor. It's the opposite approach, and it doesn't do it for me anymore.

[benjipwns]

My favorite ones are the ones that start throwing in their own hobbyhorse like transphobia or fat-shaming.

Actually, I take that back. My favorite ones are the ones ranting about "white humor" that's comedy gold.

Earlier in this thread I said "comedy gold" because of its historical usage not because gold is close to yellow in color and yellow is a term often negatively associated with Asians. I apologize for my uninformed views and ask forgiveness from the oriental or whatever community.

WHY HAS THE BAN JUSTICE PROJECT NOT FREED THE POSTER WHO CREATED SUCH BEAUTIFUL WORDSMITHING

[benjipwns]

mainly i just want to put my avatar back up

[agrajag]

once again Benji is wrong.

"Reality has a liberal bias" was a phrase he coined on the Colbert Show and he primarily lampooned right wing figured by adopting a faux right wing persona.

[benjipwns]

I posted this on March 28, 2014 on NeoGAF.com:

That's just your sense of humor privilege talking. Satire is a tool of oppression.

It's been quite a near five years.

[agrajag]

lmao Colbert has always been ostensibly liberal leaning

[benjipwns]

I never said Colbert wasn't doing Bill O'Reilly, I was saying he added to the character, things that were not specific to mocking conservative punditry, just making him more of an overall blowhard or Ted Baxter. Colbert himself said he added some Keith Olbermann and such to his persona to keep it fresh as he didn't think the O'Reilly parody could last. And I think the show did drift away from specifically targeting O'Reilly and conservative punditry in the later years of the show because Colbert had by then created a whole complete character who had evolved past mere parody into his own creature. Sure, he was still a conservative, but lots of the aspects of the character were not deliberately mirrors of conservatives but instead parts of the Colbert character himself now.

[agrajag]

that's true. But I am not talking about who his character was based on, but moreso who he was targeting. You gotta be crazy to think that if the Colbert Show was still running it wouldn't be mocking the Trump administration nonstop.

[benjipwns]

omg marrec is in this colbert thread, i'm shaking

[benjipwns]

that's true. But I am not talking about who his character was based on, but moreso who he was targeting. You gotta be crazy to think that if the Colbert Show was still running it wouldn't be mocking the Trump administration nonstop.

Who said otherwise? All I was saying is that Colbert made the character stronger by taking him beyond just a parody of Bill O'Reilly, giving him his own non-conservative interests like the Threat Down, the fact that what started as mere arrogance turned into him describing how every part of him was peak humanity, etc.

I don't think that Colbert character would make it today, what Colbert turned his character into is what dudes like Hannity and Lou Dobbs turned themselves into parody of. Only they're serious about it.

It's like when we try to one step further ResetERA.com and they catch up now in days instead of months or weeks. Only they're serious about it.

The brightest minds in Poliera have it all figured out!

They now have a surefire way to determine if someone is a member of the right and should be deleted from your life.

I've made a habit the last few years of dropping leftist dog whistles in my conversations to weed these people out. Just casually saying things like "The new season of Handmaid's Tale is so good" will work miracles. Doesn't matter if you've even seen it.

Shit, I thought the show was too slow and drawn out compared to the book, so I guess I'm conservative.

I think there are a lot of ways to figure out someone's political leanings without explicitly discussing politics. Whether or not they like Colbert would be an obvious one.

Shit, I think the only good late night show has been Craig Ferguson so I guess I'm conservative.

Stay safe.

I'd even say certain musical tastes can clue you in. To give an obvious example: do they think Macklemore is the only rapper with something to say? Possibly Republican. Do they think Kendrick is a genius? Probably democratic. Do they think Kendrick winning a Pulitzer is ridiculous and unironically use the phrase rap is crap? Definitely Republican.

I can't find a list of this shit

their general FAQ has a list of banned games, sure

As a general measuring stick, if a game is not appropriate for broadcast on Twitch it is unlikely to be appropriate here. Games that Valve hides on Steam by default due to "adult only sexual content" are also prohibited. Do not discuss these games or create threads about them. Other games will only be considered for this list if the staff receives a complaint from the community. After review, the following games have also been prohibited:

Dungeon Travelers 2: The Royal Library
Gal Gun
Hatred
Huniepop
Monster Monpiece
Negligee: Love Stories
Omega Labyrinth Z
Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal

So the question is: why don't they? Why are there not more smaller developers offering their games directly on their own website with the choice of an executable or a link to a Steam key? Is it too much hassle? Are they scared they won't get visibility if they're not for sale directly on Steam?
