Rorschach is unambiguosly a right wing conspiracy nut, and thats literally the type of publication he sends his journal too; he would be a huge Alex Jones fan contemporaneously.His expy is literally an Ayn Rand objectivist, and thats the take Alan Moore was using as the archetype, not the version Denny O'Neil made.That he'd become a martyr for 'no such thing as aliens, its all a conspiracy' truthers is a pretty good concept.e:Quote from: Boredfrom on May 08, 2019, 02:56:08 PMThe cult obviously is also misguided as fuck given that Rorschach was not religious when he went outlaw vigilante.arguable, his day job is walking around with a "THE END IS NIGH!" billboard, lol

And here I thought Snyder was being a bit too on the nose with the watch imagery to help explain the metaphor Manhattan uses but...
The insane speed at which RE is willing to cede ground to alt-right trolls (but they were really mad while doing it!) is staggering. "Okay" is one of the most used words in the world, and the simple gesture meaning okay is instantly ceded to a few 4chan trolls by RE and Twitter outrage addicts because they love suspecting people of being evil. If you losers just ignored the trolls, their trolling would be completely benign.It's incredible how often these morons implement completely counterproductive actions to "combat evil."
I'm willing to bet 99% of the OK hand gestures used by people they disagree with are only being used to fuck with lefties. They know what they are doing in the sense that they know it's not really a white power symbol, but as certain as the sun will rise, morons on the left will lose their shit over it. The right is winning the trolling war, and it's apparently pathetically easy.

I'm quite sure he used it for the same reason he said "subscribe to pewdiepie".

I was just at a Chinese noodle place yesterday and when the waitress came by to ask me how my meal was, I gave her the ok sign (because food was in my mouth). Then she gave me one back. I didn't even think about it.So who's more of a white supremacist, me the filipino diner, or her the chinese waitress?
Little people, Wilt says, get it all wrong even when they're trying to be polite. For example, whenever he gets on an airplane, the top of the door is about at his belt level, but the stewardess will always say, ''Don't forget to duck.'' Wilt shakes his head. ''What am I going to do?'' he asks. ''Bump into the door with my stomach?''

But can we all agree that people who tend to wear Deadpool tshirts are by far the worst?

that's how he was elected in the first place along with voter suppression and an undemocratic election system. who is this undecided voter that might be swayed by Trump's impeachment? you're not making a lot of sense which seems to be the major criteria to become mod here.
MMA shirts too (Tapout,etc), it's usually a certain kind of dude.
who the fuck is Matt

A month ago some admin after I made ton of bad puns had decided to mute me and it would it be classified as obnoxious for making bad puns on a Hale like applejack?

The Pom thing started in the spring of '03. I was laid off from work, and had been for a year and a half, without having found steady work. I was bored.I went with my mother to the local A.C. Moore and wandered the aisles looking for something to do. I found a Shoebox craft kit for making cute PomPom animals.Started making the animals in the instruction book, but quickly got bored. I wasn't really into cute animals, anyway.But I saw the potential.I made Pom figures loosely based off of myself and my girlfriend. Then made us a nemesis. Called him the Mighty Space Bastard. They didn't look bad, almost like characters from Gumby.I started hoarding Poms. Back then, you could still get almost any color in any size without having to buy a big mixed bag.I made the Aqua Teen Hunger Force, some more caricatures, some characters from various stories my girlfriend and I were working on, and some others.Got interupted from just about everything that fall when I got married (sorry, ladies), but a few years later I got them back out when I was inspired to do the cast of Homestarrunner.com.A few more charicatures, a few more story and R.P characters for my wife and her friends. This was around '05-'08.Then Mattel began releasing the MOTU classics line of figures. I loved He-man figures. Remebered the ones I had as a kid. Unfortunately, they were twenty bucks apiece on their site, and sold out usually minutes after being released. I couldn't afford to collect them like I wanted to. But my Pom box caught my eye. I could make my own. Mwuahahaha!! And they would be just as I wanted them to be.I started calling my creations Pomheroes.This is my largest Pom endeavor to date. It is an ongoing process, and will be untill I make all the original figures as well as newer ones, and my own fan-fic ones. I plan to begin working on vehicles soon, as well, and possibly even a playset or two in the future.My only other ongoing project with the Poms right now is making Pomheros of Characters from our Rogue Trader campaign. I've done one of each of the Players, and plan to do some of our favorite NPC's.That's where I'm at currently. I'm just starting this Gallery, and am working on a nice foam and felt background piece to get some really good pics of the MOTU Pomheroes to upload. Oh, and I've also done a few Ewoks.
