WTF, when did Anna leave Red Scare
Among the most refreshing things about Frost and Khachiyan is that their politics are resolutely not woke. ‘You can tell people that I’m trans’, says Khachiyan, with characteristic irreverence, as Frost, Khachiyan and myself sit down to talk at Eastwood in the Lower East Side. ‘I’m not trans, but you can say that just for fun.’
Well, I'm off I go to laugh and soak up the drama on the CTH subreddit
They're such miserable cunts.

During that period Sony had established itself as the No1 console manufacturer. It meant Sega now had a bigger fight on its hands. And their strategy of being first to launch ultimately hurt them. It hurt them with the Saturn and then hurt them with the Dreamcast. They really needed to get the Dreamcast right, and I guess in some ways they did, but then Sony announced the PS2 and it was more powerful than the Dreamcast. That was game over. It is an uphill battle trying to market a product that on paper seems inferior to the competitor's who is also riding on the huge success of their previous console.The other problem of course is getting 3rd parties onboard particularly in a time when 3rd parties tended to stick with one console. Japanese developers especially.

"Son" he says calmly, "neither of us want this to happen, but this is necessary parenting." You draw the pants down slowly. Both of you say a quick prayer in your heads. SPANK. A tear strolls down your eye. You are crying more than your child...hitting your kids is supposed to happen in a flash of anger, coupled with screaming, cursing, you name it. I've got (not fond) memories of really pushing my mom to her limit, being a completely uncontrollable little shit, and after several warnings I turn around suddenly, whack, there's a wooden ladle or some shit flying at me, and all I hear is "putang ina!!!" (lit: "fuck, son!!!"). Running back to my room and she's got the belt out, yelling that she should have put me up for adoption. That's how you're supposed to parent.

Quote from: agrajag on July 06, 2019, 12:36:57 AMShe brought up Lena Dunham as an example of middle class women getting hysterectomies though?The quote was "middle-class, very elite", so I think the point is just that working class women are not the ones getting their uterus removed, you need means. Something like that is the very hallmark of a class divide.

Quote from: Uncle on July 06, 2019, 12:35:01 AMone of the lead devs on Mass Effect AndromedaAnd that flopped (ok, it was a sort of success that then bombed hard and killed the series/franchise).Then EA did SJW-2: Milkshake Shark Boogaloo with "buy our disabled female soldier WW2 game or be a nazi, bigot!" Vaginafield 5, and that bombed even worse (50% off launch week, bb!).When will EA stop hiring these sorts of folks?#NoAutismBotNoShade
Mass Effect Andromeda attracted criticism for what many saw as its promotion of colonialism. According to Heir, some developers within the studio raised the issue years ago but its "homogeneous leadership" paid no mind:"I wasn’t the only one. There were other people, there were other white people, white men, who spoke up. There’s a lot of really good people inside of BioWare who spoke up on this stuff. This is what happens when, I think, you have a homogeneous leadership. The leadership of Mass Effect: Andromeda was all white men."
"As somebody’s who’s public, you become the loud guy, you become the angry guy, and you become the person who’s just trying to get all the press for yourself. That’s how it’s read, and then there becomes internal strife.It is our job to speak up and do that thing. I’m not gonna quiet down and I’m not gonna not fight. So to me, when I realized I was in an environment that did not accept that and want that, and that was telling me I was being too angry or I was speaking up too much, and basically tried to tell me to sit down and be humble, I was like…peace out."

There is, sadly, nothing satirical about it. You can call it satirical, because of the cartoonish levels of violence and grimness, or because it was supposed to be satirical 20 years ago, but there is nothing satirical about it now.There is no subtext in WH40k lore or books, there is no laughing AT the Imperium (a'la Starship Troopers). In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war.
A bit bummed by this. WH, especially 40k, is - and I say it with a heavy heart, because I have a soft spot for the universe and also think its creators didn't intend it this way - like an introduction to alt-right philosophies.
I know what it was supposed to be - but Starship Troopers it isn't. The 'parody of fascism' and 'nuanced' may have been a part of it at its inception, but they're really not part of what WH40k was for the last 20 or so years. Pick up any Space Marine codex and read the fluff, it's all straight. The Imperium may be shown as horrible, but it's 'all for the greater good'. Those of other faiths, those that are alien or different, they are the real enemy.The white, almost exclusively male, hypermasculine warmachines safeguard the world by serving thier God-Emperor."Beware the alien, the heretic, and the mutant.""Burn the heretic. Kill the mutant. Purge the unclean."These are used unironically in in-game text and outside, by fans.And listen, I still like aspects of it as an adult, and I'm also not inclined to turn fascist because of it. But what is a 10-12 year old supposed to think of it? It's the heroes.I think it's a part of a larger discussion, about how fantasy and games (video games too) glorify totalitaristic regimes that fight the greater evil (very real in their fictinonal universes), while completely missing the fact that real world totalitarian regimes invent fictional enemies to legitimize their rule. It's kinda depressing.

QuoteI told my Disney-loving daughters (10 yrs old and 8 yrs) who have seen every Disney remake in the theater about The Little Mermaid and they got all excited.I then asked them if they cast a black girl as Ariel what would they think. They paused, noses scrunched up, scratching their heads, and basically said, “Why?” “That doesn’t seem right.” “But Ariel is a red head.” Then I showed them her picture and now they don’t want to go see it.

Why not keep Ariel ginger but make Sebastian black?
Of fucking course Kirblar made this thread.
Weird how you think the dumbest member of Chapo is the one woman.
So you're saying cancel Amber cause she made a questionable decision doing this interview?
Not familiar with the former, but Glenn [Greenwald]? A leftist? Absurd.
this is the kind-of bad faith reading why less and less people take you seriously. you think Amber is a right wing shitlord?
Well, as long as the person pointing out that the person you like is racist is somebody you dislike, that's what really matters, right?
Amber fucking sucks and the only reason this thread exists is for ERA’s resident Third Way believers to get a dunk on the imaginary image of leftists that exists in their minds.
but I mean in all seriousness, as entertaining as it is, chapo is a grift.
I still feel like this isn't worth everyone's misery. Everyone would undoubtedly be happier if they weren't constantly being compared to an unrealistic standard, and the fact that some people can attain it doesn't make it ok/good. It's unfortunate that people are additionally being judged based on their facial/etc. attractiveness, but honestly I don't think there are lots of people out there who are really that traditionally unattractive but feel totally happy and at ease because they're jacked. Plus, all of this is ignoring the fact that it's not the case that everyone has the genes, time, money, or disposition to attain this standard, and so therefore some people will be punished no matter what and there's nothing they can do about it.Do you also feel like it's ok for billionaires to have such a ridiculous amount of money and not be taxed at the expense of a lot of poverty? That seems like an exactly analogous situation in which one small group of people is hoarding a lot of resources, often unfairly, at the expense of everyone else, and I feel like, despite the supply-side economics bros, the general consensus is that this is not a great situation.
I don’t think you can just dismiss the power and reach of comic movies, though. It’s a massive part of culture now, and they dominate the box office plus merchandising and overall mindshare for a lot of impressionable people. And the stars of those movies are getting a lot of other roles, so the comic physique bleeds into a lot of other films.
Until now, men didn't have a specific body type that Hollywood said was ideal

yeah. for all the ugly shit out of red scare and cumtown (and all the pearl-clutching about chapo), i think Pod Save probably leads the pack for actual negative material impact. just a total embarrassment.
