The reason I sympathize with incels is because I know we're never going to get another Amir0x-caught-for-CP moment ever again.  That was peak Bore, so just get used to the low qual of this thread and accept it's never going to get better.  For the rest of our lives.  It will never get better.  We just have to resort to porn to get off.

If you guys have any questions about my posts, extra medium sized penis, my Playboy lifestyle, or the film Observe and Report please PM me.

do u think the ending was a fantasy?

I think there's an argument to be made that significant portions of the film are all inside of Ronnie's head. 

In particular I've always thought Nell, Ronnie's eventual "girlfriend" was simply a voice inside of Ronnie's head.

i thought the ending sequence of him blowing the dude away and walking away the hero might be a fantasy since the movie has kind of a Taxi Driver vibe, and that's been speculated about the ending there. Really fun movie tho kinda surprised to see it namechecked

It's crazy underrated;  a comedic masterpiece.   Reading old reviws really grinds my gears how many didn't "get" the movie; not that it's super complicated or requires some intellect to understand but they seemd to have missed the point.  It's a very dark comedy where you aren't supposed to "root for" the protagonist;  people struggled with that and just assumed it was another gross-out comedy or something.

*mimes blowing away children in a mall food court*
I agree that it's severely underrated and I was also baffled by how low the RT score is. It's really dark and kind of cynical, but it manages to avoid being totally mean.  I'm glad Jody Hill got some shine with Eastbound and Vice Principals. He's got a new flick coming this year according to wikipedia

I can understand how one thing lead to another but to me it seems you're conflating "incels" (afaik a label currently chosen of their own volition, with its own internet gathering points) with the larger population of wizards or people in emotional & sexual distress. A lot of which probably harbor some bitterness and resentment over it, but not to the point of believing in "black pilling" and shooting random people over it.

As for the whole debate of social forces at play, as I said, I'm not hugely invested in it. Criminals should be prosecuted for their individual actions and I wouldn't be shocked if law enforcement decided "incels" should be monitored as any other potentially violent militant group, without going to RE wild ideas of having background checks for relationships. Still it's striking that incels often seem to jerk off to what really is a ridiculously overblown satire of, well, conservative patriarchy (with just of pinch of decadent debauchery and porn imagery) which consists of idealising a woman that would be essentially a slave and a property (up to the fetish of being in "mint condition"), to stay at home. Does it mean "society" is at fault and making progress on the front of gender equality solve this particular problem by its own ? That emotional or sexual distress will disappear ? Probably not. That those individuals are not responsible for their own acts ? No.

Sorry about long rambling post; still working on getting regular sleep again after dragging myself through vicious cycles in personal hell inside my own mind to fix things up.

I haven't been able to address the FB accusation properly because, well, *no one* fully understood what was going on. I was telling the truth, and I have the evidence to support it right here and was a day away from filing a defamation suit when I backed off. New information presented and there was an accompanying sense of foreboding tying into almost every mess that had converged this past year and the same blind spot I could indirectly observe. Proceeding without solving the overall puzzle seemed likely to make things worse given the circumstances, so I set it aside at the last second. I was 100% correct to, phew, but I only got to the finish line a few days ago and I'm still recovering from the experience.

Let's take a short break from my brain's sake, as @wondermega suggests. It's been a trip and breaking down my subconscious barriers required extreme measures. It's not considered functionally impossible for shits and giggles.

That's funny.  Hahahaha.     In 2005 I was going to school in Boston, and I attended some get-together event that Penny-Arcade was holding in a classroom at MIT [I wasn't a student there].   They split the MIT and non-MIT students up in a line to give them priority for seating capacity.  After they did their presentation and schtick, they held a question-and-answer session where one of the MIT students who seemed like he was on the spectrum, asked: "So what's the deal with all the ten-dollar words?  Like, what are you doing with that?"  and the bald guy gets a little miffed and goes, "What's it to you?  What do you mean?", in kind of a joking but still irritated way.  And the student responded, "You can use more succinct words to get your point across.  You see the point of good writing is for effective communication, and..." etc.  Several people in the room started boo'ing teh kid, and the kid TAKES OUT A PRINTOUT of one of the PA guy's blog entries and starts reciting it, going "See what I mean here is you are creating a confusing predicate of expressions here and..." bla bla bla.   It was a tactless kind of autism you rarely see:  Absolute Gran Autismo 5: World Tour.    I've been searching the internet ever since for people that witnessed this.

What I'm sayin is: I can only imagine it reaffirmed that PA dude's determination to write like that because there's no way that was a forgettable moment for him.

Does it mean "society" is at fault and making progress on the front of gender equality solve this particular problem by its own ? That emotional or sexual distress will disappear ? Probably not. That those individuals are not responsible for their own acts ? No.

Well, perhaps I am conflating the two a bit. However, what I was really getting at is the way certain people conflate the views of certain extremist groups like 'incels' with a more normal mainstream attitude. An example of this, which is related, is the way that Elliot Rodgers became an example of 'toxic masculinity'. The narrative that was being pushed was that the root cause was the pervasive attitudes within society as a whole taken almost to their logical conclusion. The truth was though, anyone who read his manifesto and paid attention to Elliot Rodgers' background would know that the kid was seriously unhinged. He had gone through therapy and he was on medication(which he wasn't taking). In terms of his manifesto, it was clear that this person had serious mental issues. Obviously the focus was on his misogyny, but the kid pretty much haated everyone.

One passage in his manifesto actually made me laugh, not because I found it highly amusing, but rather because of how absolutely unhinged it was. He talked about two men he passed in a park. He had a water pistol with him which he used to shoot water at them. What made me laugh was that he was firing this water pistol in total anger and hatred towards them. He said, "he wished it was boiling oil". He was so unhinged, you just know he would do it as well.

Yes, there are craazy fringe extremists out there, but it is not reflective of the culture in general. I don't believe it is a symptom of a more wider issue within society at large.

This is why I don't like liberals, in your majority you've become hypocrites. If this piece of shit was a conservative he would have been banned a million times in this forum
Wait...you didn't come here in the GAF "STATEMENT FORTHCOMING" period? You've had an account since 2013!

There's probably been more people (maybe even just one person) requesting their own bans than there have been people actually banned for their posts in that time span. (Including the one who flew too close to the sun. #Bore mods <3)

And I literally can't think of any of The Bore's "right-wing" (a catch-all I'm using here for myself, JayDubya, Phoenix Dark, AiA, ToxicAdam?, Phoenix Dark and Phoenix Dark) who didn't convert suddenly in the last three calendar months as having ever faced anything more than weak and jealous insults.

Even etoliate and magus' extended defenses of GamerGate didn't get them banned they both left of their own accord, and when etoliate came back it's only been his defenses of the alt-right or whatever that's been getting him labeled a conservative.

And Assimilate's borderline racism/open xenophobia has never gotten him banned, but his doing something after DogMod said he was going to ban for it, got him... two days off. And a bunch of people called the underlying reason for the statement bullshit without consequence.

You're acting like this place is run by a monster who grinds the bones of those who disagree with him in his teeth as he awaits the next bloodletting orgy ala Steve Youngblood's reign on NeoGAF.com. (I assume this is what Evilore is referring to when he spoke about how he undertook a difficult quest to purge and slay the monsters ruling over him. r.i.p. in peace Steve Youngblood)

you guys are bashing ree for mocking incels now? like you're making fun them for laughing at... incels? lol


It seems very strange that you out of all people wouldn't sympathize with incels.

decided to take up assimilate's mantle eh?

Stop being a pathetic hypocrite. This lunatic has been stalking me for months, I warned him a million times to stop. Now it's time for me to have some fun with this sad loser.

I don't see how I am being a hypocrite, let alone pathetic, sorry. Seagrams is a cantankerous asshole that snipes at a whole bunch of people he dislikes. From my observations, his remarks have never been concentrated towards one person, as much credit as you want to give yourself there, Evilore. You're going to multiple threads making comments about the dude's looks, just like that clown Assimilate does. Now that is pathetic.

 :cmonson


No, you're definitely pathetic. Not only you downplay his obnoxious behavior with the excuse "eh he does that to everyone" but you also exaggerate what I'm doing. In 90% of these cases I'm replying to his stalking.

This is why I don't like liberals, in your majority you've become hypocrites. If this piece of shit was a conservative he would have been banned a million times in this forum, Assimilate was banned for much, much less. But because he's a liberal not only you tolerate him but also downplay his shitty behavior.

You know I never had a problem with you but fuck you for defending this prick from people justifiably making fun of him.

But Great Rumbler banned Assimilate, yet Assimilate's a self-proclaimed liberal. :thinking

That's funny.  Hahahaha.     In 2005 I was going to school in Boston, and I attended some get-together event that Penny-Arcade was holding in a classroom at MIT [I wasn't a student there].   They split the MIT and non-MIT students up in a line to give them priority for seating capacity.  After they did their presentation and schtick, they held a question-and-answer session where one of the MIT students who seemed like he was on the spectrum, asked: "So what's the deal with all the ten-dollar words?  Like, what are you doing with that?"  and the bald guy gets a little miffed and goes, "What's it to you?  What do you mean?", in kind of a joking but still irritated way.  And the student responded, "You can use more succinct words to get your point across.  You see the point of good writing is for effective communication, and..." etc.  Several people in the room started boo'ing teh kid, and the kid TAKES OUT A PRINTOUT of one of the PA guy's blog entries and starts reciting it, going "See what I mean here is you are creating a confusing predicate of expressions here and..." bla bla bla.   It was a tactless kind of autism you rarely see:  Absolute Gran Autismo 5: World Tour.    I've been searching the internet ever since for people that witnessed this.

What I'm sayin is: I can only imagine it reaffirmed that PA dude's determination to write like that because there's no way that was a forgettable moment for him.

lol: it's still there http://lsc.mit.edu/schedule/2005.4q/desc-pennyarcade.shtml

Spectrum or not, the MIT kid was right. It’s horrible writing.

Hi Resetera,

I was wondering how many of you here are unemployed and just living life on welfare and are maybe satisfied with it?

I live in austria where I get rent assistance and 800 euros a month. And I used to only have careers as a waiter where I was barely making maybe 300 more than what the government gives out socially.

Many people are on unemployment where I live and are happy with it. Not all countries are as generous as the one im in. But it really is enough for me a month to month and I see no reason to have to work. My days are boring sure, but I have freedom to do what I want that I can afford. I spend most of my welfare on games and weed. And am content.

So this is something she has always wanted to do. Naturally, every fiber of my being is screaming 'no!' to this, but she says if I don't go she will go without me. She wants to visit haunted plantations, houses, and ships. And abandoned psychiatric wards and insane asylums.

From her appearance and mannerisms you wouldn't think her a paranormal obsessed person. I'm afraid one of these days she's going to come back possessed or I'll find myself in some version of Silent Hill or Resident Evil. Anyway does ERA have experience with visiting reportedly haunted places? Did anything happen?

Quote from: Ghgghggh, post: 7926014, member: 42862
It is extremely unscientific to proclaim something does not exist based simply on the absense of evidence.
In many ways staunch ghost deniers are limiting discourse that leads to exploration, research and discovery. This is the antitheses of scientific exploration.

Ironic, they think the ghost believes are the unscientific one's.

Quote from: Kingpin Rogers, post: 7926061, member: 12551
Surprised so many people don't believe in ghosts. In my opinion they are absolutely real even if 99% of evidence posted online is bullshit. The 1% along with personal experiences makes me confident that they are real in some form.

Anyway op I don't think anything bad will happen to you or your girlfriend as ghosts likely aren't powerful enough to harm you, go and enjoy yourselves

I know you're joking but the Native American argument always made sense to me.  Native Americans have lived here for 15,000 years.  Modern americans have been at it for a few hundred.  All of the ghost stories and shit are about civil war era onward in America, because that's what people are familiar with.  In reality Native American ghosts would SEVERELY outnumber modern american ghosts.

I don’t know about these internet labels, but I do know that unemployed and sexually frustrated young men are going to cause big problems for the world in the coming years. There’s no solution to the problem either.

So I got myself an Oculus go, and there’s an app called « amaze » and its full of 3d vr vids, and there’s a pov video of a Maxim model trying outfits for you...

Luckily Hecht has some words to live by: https://www.resetera.com/posts/7900901/

Let's review:

User banned for 1 week: Israel has only existed for 70 years, this post propagates the Jewish media conspiracy, and that is unacceptable
I like how they felt the need to note how long Israel has been a country for.  :lol

User banned for 1 week: Calling Jewish people Nazis is not allowed, nor is conflating the Jewish people with the actions of the Israeli government
Yeah OK, sure.  Although I think the guy really meant to say the Israeli government.

User banned (1 week): Do not invoke Nazi comparisons in this topic. Many analogies are available to you, but not that one.
Ditto.  He was just making a point.

User Warned: Do not imply all Israelis/Palestinians support the actions of their leadership.
DO NOT HAVE AN OPINION I DON'T AGREE WITH

User Banned (3 Days): Do not hold all Israelis/Palestinians responsible for the actions of their leadership. Do not make blanket condemnations.
DO NOT HAVE AN OPINION I DON'T AGREE WITH NUMBER TWO

Those last two...lmao.

One of them posted the full text of their 'warning':

User Warned: Do not imply all Israelis/Palestinians support the actions of their leadership.

Your use of the "(supposedly)" carries the implication that no Israelis actually oppose the actions of their government and military, which is not something we permit on the forum. We do not allow blanket condemnations of either civilian population in this conflict.

The reason this was tempered to a warning instead of a usual ban is because it is clear you are mostly talking about electorate and civil protest - and you make the same complaint about Americans. But avoid blanket generalizations like this and choose your words carefully. Do not hold civilian populations - especially in war-torn countries - wholly responsible for the actions of their leadership. This is mandatory for either side of the conflict.

Thank you for your understanding and take care.

Maybe what is meant by the meme is, that is offensive therefore that isn't free speech... I don't know. In terms of defending free speech, whether it is offensive or not is completely irrelevant. Something I noticed when looking at it, that's all. lol

Show me where i've been this
you must be getting dengue in that shithole country you live in

Are you implying that my rants against where i was currently staying was bigoted because i called it a shithole? it is a shithole. When large parts of the population doesn't care enough to make sure they don't pollute their own streets with garbage and the state doesn't do enough to clean it up what else would you define that as? Accuse me of being insensitive and using abrasive language but fuck off with the bigoted shit.

Racist/bigot has been used against so many people for such varied reasons people are forgetting what it actually means to be a racist.
