WTF @ Nanette. Call me a Nazi all day long, but I'll never find that shit funny.

it's not about being funny, it's about the future of comedy/standup

[benjipwns]

The comedian Tig Notaro, who chronicled her cancer diagnosis in a special that also changed her life, said she was “utterly floored” by Ms. Gadsby’s hourlong show. “‘Nanette’ should be required viewing if you’re a human being,” she wrote in an email. “It really takes days to take in everything she presented, to fully comprehend it all.” Ms. Gadsby, she added, was disrupting comedy. “It’s going to be very interesting to see what comedians do post-‘Nanette,’” she wrote. It’s a dividing line. “She cleared the table for necessary regrowth.”

[benjipwns]

Ms. Gadsby received a diagnosis of *incoherent screeching* spectrum disorder and ADHD.

She didn’t want to mention *incoherent screeching* in “Nanette,” she said. “But what I want to do is sort of go, do you know what? There’s value in the differently thinking.”

In retrospect, her inability to engage with the world in standard fashion was related to her *incoherent screeching*. “I could never reconcile how I could be both childlike and really, really smart,” she said. “Like, I’ve got an incredibly high IQ, but I can’t read a bus timetable.”

You should get used to this. This is going to repeat for every big Nintendo game in the future.

Smash (thanks to it being a fighting game) should be the least of your concerns. For history-based games, oh boy.

What, like Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII: Switch Edition?

Believing some CAC is a minority cause they're typing in some ebonics format :lmao

https://insights.som.yale.edu/insights/white-liberals-present-themselves-as-less-competent-in-interactions-with-african-americans

 

Seeing how white posters on ERA treat minorities like children in need of protecting, this doesn't surprise me at all.

I wonder if there’s minorities that have just never met a super saiyan god mode white person, because all their white friends are saying “I dunno breh, getting a job is hard af. It’s just luck and being white tbh.”

And then they get together with their other non-white friends and are like “I don’t know bro. This racism is some bullshit! Look, look. This cac is a lawyer and he can barely read. He tried to read a Sunday Family Circle and said that shit was too hard. Says his dad got him that job because he’s white. Man, if we ever come up the world will be so much better...”

[benjipwns]

But I'm here to say to you this morning that some things are right and some things are wrong. Eternally so, absolutely so. It's wrong to hate. It always has been wrong and it always will be wrong. It's wrong in America, it's wrong in Germany, it's wrong in Russia, it's wrong in China. It was wrong in 2000 B.C., and it's wrong in 1954 A.D. It always has been wrong, and it always will be wrong. It's wrong to throw our lives away in riotous living. No matter if everybody in Detroit is doing it, it's wrong. It always will be wrong, and it always has been wrong. It's wrong in every age and it's wrong in every nation.

If you have weapons, take them home; if you do not have them, please do not seek to get them. We cannot solve this problem through retaliatory violence. We must meet violence with nonviolence. Remember the words of Jesus: "He who lives by the sword will perish by the sword." We must love our white brothers, no matter what they do to us. We must make them know that we love them. Jesus still cries out in words that echo across the centuries: "Love your enemies; bless them that curse you; pray for them that despitefully use you." This is what we must live by. We must meet hate with love. Remember, if I am stopped, this movement will not stop, because God is with the movement. Go home with this glowing faith and this radiant assurance.

In the struggle for human rights and justice, Negros will make a mistake if they become bitter and indulge in hate campaigns.

The non-violent Negro is seeking to create the beloved community. He directs his attack on the forces of evil rather than on individuals. The tensions are not between the races, but between the forces of justice and injustice; between the forces of light and darkness.

We must not seek to use our emerging freedom and our growing power to do the same thing to the white minority that has been done to us for so many centuries. Our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate the white man. We must not become victimized with a philosophy of black supremacy. God is not interested merely in freeing black men and brown men and yellow men, but God is interested in freeing the whole human race. We must work with determination to create a society, not where black men are superior and other men are inferior and vice versa, but a society in which all men will live together as brothers and respect the dignity and worth of human personality.

Fuck off, moderate.

Never forget, Ghostbusters was the test run for GamerGate's war on Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Led by alt-right tycoons like Red Letter Media and James Rolfe.

And it worked, there won't be a sequel despite the demands of the people.

Melissa Mccarthy is pretty funny in most of her movies, imo.

She loses points though for being related to Jenny McCarthy.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/former-telltale-personnel-anectodes-about-objectifying-character-design-practices.83106/#post-15358190

For a long time now I've been a little miffed by that same kind of subtle sexualisation in practice with Rainbow Six: Siege's character designs and I've harped about it in the OT from time to time to some others' distress, probably. If you look at the vanilla characters, they're all more armored and their faces are concealed. Almost every female DLC character has foregone a mask or other protective headwear when anonymity is extremely important in the special operations groups these characters belong to. In addition often female DLC characters completely forego bulletproof vests, which isn't excused by their light armor gameplay rating, because many characters with a light armor rating wear vests. All the male ones do, in fact.

Here are pics of obvious examples that hopefully make what I'm talking about clear.

Vanilla:



DLC:



Technically, the face thing applies kind of to every character because vanilla Siege had pretty primitive facial animation. Since it's been upgraded DLC character designs have much more often been without concealing headwear, but that aside, there is a trend of female characters foregoing concealing headwear alongside the male counterparts of their DLC pack who come with them wearing masks i.e. Dokkaebi & Vigil, Finka & Lion.

They've also gone back to vanilla and old DLC characters to make them more attractive. The first character used as an example above, Twitch, has been wholly redesigned.



Note the slightly thinner, tighter, brighter appearance.



Valkyrie's old face was complained about and memed on enough for them to redo it. Solemnly tell me that's a bad face model. It isn't. It's not an attractive face by typical standards; I don't find it extremely attractive. It's a strong face. But it isn't a bad face model. C'mon. Therein lies the issue—these characters are the highest level combat forces operatives, attractiveness isn't really a requirement. Not that they can't be pretty, but pretty is all people out there want and all creators out there give. And how important is pretty for Siege? A game ostensibly about soldiers tactically destroying and killing in a semi-grounded setting. That isn't a pretty thing by most standards, is it?

So neither tweets are correct.

And Nathan is just straight up lying. He was never privy to any art direction changes. Kate was originally a blonde girl with short hair, but was later changed to have brown hair wore it longer. Her face and outfit never changed.

The rigs were never “pre built” with heels either, and we had many women character that never wore heels. The rigs for Mae and female were mostly the same as you may have seen people animation swapping between the male/female characters. The only thing done internally was naming conventions to separate male,female and children

R6's changes now make me feel Ubisoft got jealous of the overwatch porn and wanted to make people relook at their women characters.

[benjipwns]

Look. What this essentially means is that you're making arguments up to create a narrative (of you, the poor innocent dude unfairly oppressed by eeeeevil women taking your porn away).

The real question you should be asking instead is "why should all games be porn". You would likely be the first to scream bloody murder if every male character ran around in a leather string thong and a ripped shirt only covering half of their nipples, and nothing else. Makes sense in porn, sure, but not in every damn game.

So why treat female characters solely like your wank fodder? Doesn't that say a lot of bad things on how you view women, if you think women must always be wank fodder, with no deviation? If any deviation from it is instantly treated as "waaaah, the feminists are stealing my porn"?

And yes, this is exactly what happens. See with the new She-Ra reboot. Gets slightly less sexualized designs, is a show aimed at teenage/pre-teenage girls, and still men complain it's not 100% porn designs. Maybe the problem isn't feminists, but men wanting everything to be porn solely catering to them?


It's so bad that this thread has dudes genuinely asking if women can have strong jawlines. Like, some of you guys don't even have any idea anymore how real women actually look like. That, perhaps, shows that the portrayals in fiction are a bit of a problem. You're so confused by photoshopped models and the porn shit in your media that you've lost all sense of reality concerning half the population. That's kinda awful, honestly.

I've said it before that it creeps me out the paralells between growing up in a culty religion and the whole SJW/White Knight movement. I mean over the last few months the mormon church has been caught doing some highly questionable things at best, and reprehensible/illegal stuff at worst and when you bring it up to Mormons they're like "Yeah, that's just started by anti-mormon haters!" and when you ask "OK, but does that change the fact that they obviously did this terrible thing?" you get, "It doesn't matter. The people that brought it up are haters, you can't listen to anything they say." Same thing here. You might not like men, but does the fact they're men make the illegal activity suddenly legal?

Honestly, having grown up in such an environment I have no idea why people willingly put themselves into that situation.

Basically consequentialist bullshit that lots of people are prone to. For these people, any act that results in what they consider a just outcome is just, regardless of the motivation behind it or consequences that arise for unrelated others (in this case, further persecution of women and cam models). It's a very selfish and short-sighted view of justice.

I see. Haven't heard that term before, "Consequentialism". Reading it now but it feels like I'm kinda familiar with it.

It is short sighted, but it seems to be an extension of "the end justifies the means" which I do sometimes agree with but not in this case by a long shot.

Its the same old jealously that entertainers and other people who make fast money get. "Why cant you go get a real job like me?"

"Topic title only reading" is also a problem here. If the topic title was (once again) changed to something like "Incels are harassing cam girls by using the IRS" you'd probably maybe have less posters assuming these Women were committing "alleged tax evasion".

The way I understand this will only get worse, and I’m fully aware of how harsh I’ve sounded, but yet laws take time to change so while I don’t feel good about advocating that incels should kill themselves, I don’t see a pushback from progressives that is good enough to keep the most of their evil at bay before they make more victims.

Sometimes I think the left has got too soft and while that’s reasonable and understandable, that might not be a language that people that hold beliefs like that understand. My point is, instill some fear might be good, after all.

Men who found the internet at a young age and stared real hard in to that abyss (e.g. 4chan).

In a different life/world I could have become an incel, we all could have, that's what makes incels so unsettling, you can see how they got there and you know how they can get out, but they won't because it requires self effort and most of them are too far gone.

They have become monsters, like Orcs, corrupted by demonic forces.

Incels are simply a type of person who is exposed by an artificial and corrupting support and amplification system.

Those people were either destined to fade into obscurity and powerlessness or to find salvation through regular life experience. It's not the type of person who's new, it's the brand new toolset and platform they've been given.

Certainly some fraction of them are destined to become the worst case scenarios - suicides, murderers and unfortunately thought leaders, but I doubt those excessions will beat the gen-pop ratio. At least there's options for most of them.

Trick will be convincing them or showing them -- and yes, they'll be difficult to connect - but the frustrating thing from my admittedly naive perspective is how possible that is and how few will seize or see or have those opportunities.

I personally volunteer to be an ear and try to help one of them with either perspective or experience and yes I know it may be futile or I am underestimating everything including their circumstances. But I am not willing to let an otherwise normal lonely teenager flip the bit to deep crisis without at least trying.

I suspect most teenagers have felt some degree of hopelessness in relationships but have been bouyed or lifted or forced by circumstance onto brighter paths. The difference right now is corrosive networks of support and encouragement by bad actors and uncontrolled influence.

And yes I am well aware how many are too far gone or iredeemably evil to help.

so infinite deep, much infinite feels
