My level of disinterest in the Joker film looks like the ban graph for ResetERA.com.

Is there a good explanation for why asexuals belong in the same group?  Like what discrimination do they face or whatever?

Honest question, maybe I'm ignorant.. is it just that they aren't all aromantic and still want to date but have trouble finding people who accept them?

I was gonna ask that too, but I think it falls under the "why are you a spinster/incel/alone" questioning from family and friends.

I didn’t say it was a competition I don’t play that game. But it’s a bit disingenuous to act like it’s anywhere even close to the level the trans or even gay community faces.

I always assumed ace people in the community are also attracted to the same sex or both romantically so of course they are part of the community.
Tell that to the asexuals who are forcibly raped because "you just haven't found the right one" or "I can convert you".

Totally forgot about that alliance (that was a high school thing that I would guess still exists?). But wow talking about lucking out with that acronym.

They're at many colleges too. They used to be about like putting on events that had gay/lesbian related themes at times but other times it might just be comedians or whatever. But now they mostly seem to be about demanding more safe spaces on campus for non-binary, transgender and asexual students.

Personally, I'm like we don't really need yet another Anime Club. But I don't get to decide about the funding for student groups.

Where I went to undergrad there was some kind of thing where the Anime Club became a front for not really out students because the GSA was being jerks to them. But this eventually led to a Peoples Front of Judea situation that split the Anime Club into like four groups depending on how important the Anime should be to the focus of the club, there was a hardline group that allowed no unessential non-Anime discussion. I think it was actually the one that lasted longest. The others kinda dwindled and folded back together. There was a fight over which one got to call it self the Anime Club too.

You need to learn about intersectionality.

Get informed:
And here lies the problem: the CPS continue to privilege cisgender interpretations of gender in deciding whether to bring sexual offence prosecutions. What this amounts to, is an insistence that the sexual autonomy of cisgender people, even in the context of desire-led intimacy between adults, trumps the right of others to determine their own gender. In robbing transgender and gender queer people of self-definitional agency, at least in the realm of criminal law, we have produced a situation where rape becomes divorced from consent and desire, and complainant ‘distress’ becomes an after the fact experience only possible from a position of power, that is, the cisnormative and state-sanctioned power to name others, to ontologically wound. This simply will not do in a liberal society.

Accordingly, we need to challenge the idea that sexual autonomy be viewed as an absolute right. For some, this is tantamount to heresy or rape apologia. However, this is not a time for reticence, not while the attrition against trans and gender queer kids continues unabated. Sexual autonomy, as apparently understood by the CPS and by those who helped shape prosecutorial policy in this area, renders sacred the subjective experience of complainants, even to the point of denying others the capacity for self-determination. When all is said and done, being true to yourself, that is, living an authentic life in the face of a disbelieving, hostile, and frequently violent world is not, and should never be viewed as, deceptive. This is a line in the sand we simply must draw.
spoiler (click to show/hide)
It is not my intention here to dispute the veracity of the complainant’s testimony. Rather, I want to ask, what it means to say, in contexts of sexual intimacy, that we do not know the object of our desire, especially where our body becomes entangled with theirs and, in this case, where the complainant conducted a parallel platonic relationship? Thus, even if we accept, as both juries did, that Gayle Newland deceived the complainant, and that the complainant remained ignorant of Newland’s gender identity, is it not also true that ignorance is a form of knowledge, one which implicates human agency?

If we do not see our lover’s face, do we not sense her in other ways? Do we not breath her in, feel her touch, experience the contours of her body, feel her breath upon our skin, the timbre of her voice? And are we not undone in such moments, irrespective of the eyes? Is it right in such circumstances to disown our desires because we are retrospectively disappointed? How can we claim ignorance of participation in lesbian sex when the presence of a female lover has taken the form of sensory overload?

In other words, there is something inadequate about the way we discuss gender identity fraud cases. Rather than fixating on deception, we might instead consider more seriously the complex relationship between ignorance and knowledge. That is, even if deceived, we should acknowledge information that arrives through our senses, calling us to respond, and to which we do respond. Might it be the case that gender identity fraud prosecutions tell us less about deception, and more about a refusal to acknowledge embodied experiences, apparently at odds with our desires, and the pleasures we derive from them? Ultimately perhaps, the Newland case points to a refusal to acknowledge that all (not merely blindfolded) desire is blind? If this is so, then Gayle Newland’s conviction points to a failure of that other blindfolded figure, the one to which we all appeal, justice.

User Banned (1 week): trolling and misrepresenting concerns

Eh, careers don't have to be destroyed for cancel culture to be a thing.

Kevin Hart is going to be fine but he lost out on hosting the Oscars because people dug up some shitty things he said a decade ago.

Dave Chappelle will be A-OK but instead of simply expressing their own distaste with some of his material, critics were calling for Netflix to banish him from their platform altogether.

That's cancel culture in a nutshell and it's undeniable.

Quote from: Famassu
That's the whole fucking point of the video. Right-wing shitheels & pearl-clutching centrists are trying to make it seem like all of society is at danger of falling into chaos & decay when anyone and everyone is being cancelled left & right and their lives irreversably destroyed beyond recognition & for good when Da Evil SJWs are digging up dirt on everyone from Times Ancient, when in reality these are mostly a bunch of priviliged, entitled rich politicians and actors/comedians/entertainers not getting every multi-million-dollar paying job they feel entitled to because they've been OPENLY racist, homophobic or otherwise provably bigoted in the not-so-distant past AND eventually getting on with their professions _perfectly fine_ after losing maybe some gig or two and after the dust settles within about a week/month or two with the attention span most people have. Even actual criminals who have done criminal acts like rape, physical and/or sexual abuse etc.

Fucking seriously, even on a forum like ResetEra that some claim is some kind of perpetually triggered & outraged SJW haven that drives the ruination of many a fine people's lives, people are all "but how long are we supposed to hold a grudge" when it's only been two months since we heard someone being a shitgibbon. People have a hard time not consuming entertainment from "problematic" figures for longer than a few months, let alone years or someone's whole career/lifetime (if they even let these things affect their behaviour at all, using the lamest-ass "herp derp separate art from artist herp derp" excuse everytime they'd need to alter their entertainment consumption habits because someone is a rapist and shouldn't be supported & publicly celebrated).

As is said in the video, the public WANTS to forgive these people and often they do (if they ever even think there is anything to apologize/be forgiven for) even after non-apology apologies.
Quote from: Famassu
Some level of vetting has been a thing since forever. Companies don't want you on their payroll if you are a potential PR disaster waiting to happen, and this matters more and more the more digits are on your paycheck. If you are an open member of the KKK or repeating their talking points publicly, you're not going to get a job as the face of Lucasfilm's next Star Wars movie. Not in 2019, not in 1979. Social Media/Interwebz has made it easier to find out about that behaviour because people are dumb enough to make those statements on Twitter or recorded audio/video using their own names without a care in the world as if they were talking in some private event. What's so bad about exposing those?

You're talking as if people spend hours every day combing through everyone's Twitter feeds and whole Internet presence to see if they have done anything problematic, when it's just likely that maybe there's a recent repeat offense that gets people to remember that hey, this person that is about to star in the next hitfilm from Marvel has actually been a raging transphobe in the past too (but back then it didn't gain traction because people cared less). People often just remember some past instances of shitty behaviour instead of going deliberately in search of and then maybe do a 2 minute google search to find the clips they remember. Or maybe some random person is reading some past interviews and suddenly they just come up with something where an actor is being a racist shit and then they just share it like "wtf, was this a widely know thing?" on Twitter to their 5 followers and that might go viral. No one necessarily went looking for dirt but it just has a habit of (re)surfacing.

Besides, if anything, the contrary is closer to being true. It has actually usually been the alt-right shitgibbons who go around trying to DESPERATELY dig up dirt on progressive people who are trying to enact positive change in the world in mostly futile attempts of shutting up "SJWs" who have dared accuse their idols of any wrongdoing or spreading progressive, inclusive messages (see: the case of James Gunn or what is happening with the pedo-creep-sex-pest Vic Mignogna and his accusers where the alt right fans of Mignogna have tried to dig up dirt and flung shit at the accusers to undermine their sexual assault/harassment claims).

People like Kevin Hart didn't lose their Oscar hosting gig because of a poor joke, he lost it because he REFUSED to offer even the tiniest bit of an apology. Not even a half-assed "sorry if you were offended" non-apology apology. A straight out "I won't apologize." People have said and done similar or even worse things but the ones who offer (at least seemingly) sincere apologies and condemn their past behaviour without any caveats have been and will mostly continue getting away with stupid, hurtful & hateful shit (unless it's something on the level of "we should kill all the gays" and not just using the f-word).
Quote from: Famassu
No, the claim that these people's lives are then forever ruined is very much part of the narrative surrounding cancel culture. And spouting hateful slurs isn't a "minor" thing to those people who are a target of those slurs.

And alt-right fascists & incels are very much unfamiliar with the idea that words on the Interwebz have consequences after having grown up on lame-ass 4chan since a very young age, where these bigoted "jokes" have been a part of the whole community from the very beginning, or don't think that hatred towards black people, gay people, chinese people, transgender people etc. is wrong in the first place and as such everyone should be entitled & even protected to be able to have any job ever despite what they say about those often oppressed minorities.
Quote from: Famassu
No, that's boycotting/calling companies to boycott someone who spouts transphobic crap. Calls for boycott has been a thing for probably thousands of years. Cancel culture is just an alt right/weak-ass centrists re-branding of that (maybe combined with other things) to try and make it seem like having consequnces for shitty things you say & do is a bad thing, just so that they would more easily get away with all the racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny etc. that they so desperately want to shout out to the world.

And, again, Kevin Hart didn't lose his Oscar gig for what he said. He lost it because he refused to apologize for saying that
Quote from: Famassu
This doesn't happen, though. People do call out a lot of different people on social media but a lot of them get away with it perfectly fine when they just apologize, and even the ones who don't will be perfectly fine within weeks of the whole hullabaloo, unless they've said something truly heinous.

Some individuals deciding not to follow/support some celebrity is, AGAIN, boycotting, not "cancelling". Cancel culture is just an attempt of hysteria-induced, negative re-branding of perfectly normal behaviour to make it seem more sinister & wide-reaching than it actually is and it mostly comes from the right/centrists. Just like nazis & fascists try to look themselves better & obfuscate the whole connection to fasicst ideals with the "alt-right" term, they try to come up & spread hysteria about "outrage culture", "cancel culture" & such to undermine the very real problems that people are trying to address that are behind those.
Quote from: Famassu
If no one is being cancelled (and no, losing a few twitter followers isn't "cancelled"), then it's not fucking cancel culture. Losing a job because you acted shitty isn't being cancelled, that's companies using their right to fire people when they act in ways they don't want their employees acting. You can just look at who are peddling the whole "woe am us, cancel culture is the blight of our society" shit the hardest and that should make it clear that there's very little in the form of genuine, thoughtful, factual argumentation behind it. It's the same people who use "SJW" unironically.
Quote from: Famassu
You can't be for real. If the name is cancel culture and the people most throwing around the evils of cancel culture complain about how unjustly Good Men & Women are "cancelled" & shunned by society due to it, then why the fuck would it be called callout culture? Calling out people isn't cancelling them. Calling out people isn't new. Facing (short-term) consequences for certain types of actions (more often) is perhaps a bit more recent, but the underlying mechanics are just boycotting & callouts of years, centuries, millenia past.

Again, this hysteria surrounding cancel culture and its supposedly massive negative impact on society comes from a very disingenuous place and almost entirely from the right (and weak-ass centrists who side with the right most of the time), because society (in parts) has become more and more unaccepting of their blatant bigotry & harassment. It's the same people who think #metoo has gone too far after, like, 3 prominent members of Hollywood were accused and saw some consequences.

Like, ultimately, I do not give a single iota of a fuck about what it's called. If you sleep better because you can call it something else, be my guest. It's still total & utter BS hysteria peddled by the right that is mostly behind it all. Anyone with half a brain can see nothing behind it is genuine or worth giving a shit about when comedians whine about being persecuted when their bigoted crap doesn't sit well with a lot of people.
Quote from: Famassu
Yes, and as I already have said plenty of times, that kind of "cancelling" isn't in any way new. It's boycotting. Why not call it "boycott culture", then? Because people would be a lot more understanding of it. The right just tries to make it something evil like they are trying to frame SJWs as oppressors worse than the alt right nazis shooting up joints & putting children into consentration camps.
Quote from: Famassu
People talking about it says nothing about its legitimacy. People have drank the Kool Aid of dumber things than cancel culture. Cancel culture as some kind of large scale, uncontrollable, chaotic & unjust way of bringing down undeserving people simply isn't a thing. No one is being cancelled, not even people who genuinely deserve it (Roman Polanski and his ilk). People being hyperbolic and overly negative? Sure, but that applies to a vast majority of interactions on the Interwebz, not just wanting to hold people accountable for their actions & not wanting to give bigots larger and larger platforms. "Cancel culture" isn't the issue. Whining about cancel culture is pretty much the same as the pearl-clutching whining about the evils of antifa protests at the first instance of some damage to buildings or some such

You are blind if you don't see that much like SJW, outrage culture and such are mostly thrown around by the right, so is cancel culture because it's hitting the right the hardest because their bigots, child rapists and other deplorables can't get away with their behaviour as easily as before.
Quote from: Famassu
And some people complain about outrage at the first sight of some criticism. Doesn't meant there's an actual outrage culture. I'd say these all are just a part of Interwebz larger hyperbole culture that infests most discussions, including but not limited to wanting to boycott people who are perceived to be (unapologetic/repeat) bigots. Plus just how many of those people are genuinely about to "cancel" someone and who are just using it more or less ironically? The left that I follow generally doesn't use "cancelling" as anything but ironic drivel.

If something is called _cancel_ culture, then some kind of cancelling should actually be a part of it. Someone just saying "CANCELLED" doesn't mean anything.
Quote from: Famassu
Well, first of all, people jumping into false/quick conclusions is also hardly specific to this specific phenomenon or this era of humankind, so trying to invent a "culture" that describes this as some kind of new phenomenon doesn't make sense. It's just that, jumping into conclusions. People should be more self-aware of trying to avoid doing so but that's just not tied exclusively to holding people accountable so I just don't really think it deserves to be named and tied to a movement that wants to hold people accountable for their actions. Just like it's idiocy how often people start whining about outrage culture when people have legitimate grievances & critique. It's a larger issue to tackle.

And my issue is with who are the ones most peddling the term. Is there an issue with people jumping into (too quick) conclusions (with "cancelling" and a whole plethora of other issues)? Sure, but that's a larger issue and I don't think we should be using the term cancel culture when it's modern usage has been mostly hijacked by rightwing shitgibbons who want to downplay the very real issues that cause these "cancellations" (aka boycotts/pleads to people in positions of power to be held accountable) in the first place. It's mostly just used to take away from the real discussions we should be having, just like whining about outrage culture. Just whip out the CANCEL CULTURE card and you've got FOX News whining about the overly PC left once again having their hissyfits.

That behaviour is called hyperbolic negativity on the Interwebz (which, again, affects everything on the Internet no matter how good the intentions of the larger movement/ideology) and mass harassment, neither of which have to do with the inherent nature of wanting to hold people accountable and using public visibility as leverage to achieve it.
Quote from: Famassu
Again, most people objected to what Evilore had been accused of. That is called a boycott, not cancel culture. Some people went apeshit like people on the Interwebz are wont to do but that doesn't take away from the root causes of the boycott or the fact that it was a boycott.
But I totally could not care less if you call it the Interwebz. Not one iota. Not a single bit. Never. I would never care. I could not be made to care. I would care about the Joker film first before I cared about this. Or what you called it. Or what anyone would call it anywhere. Literally anywhere on the Interwebz they could call it something and I would never not care.

Not meant to be a criticism against Brianna, but how does someone like her sustain herself at this point? She doesn't work for the government. She hasn't been developing anything since she first tried to run for congress right? I take it her husband is able to make enough to support them both and that's nothing shameful. That's from 2016 onward.

Frank is/was a multimillionaire. He took over and hired the contractors to "finish" her game after she abandoned it, the Kickstarter didn't pay for it at all and the studio went defunct as she drove off everyone she had hired including the co-founder. He's already given $150,000 to her two primary campaigns. (Only $50,000 this time so far though.)

Though how long he maintains that status considering her spending rate on all kinds of things from vanity campaigns to cars to motorcycles to houses is yet to be known.

I actually kinda like the guy because he's so enthusiastic about literally everything, but his first marriage ended with a bunch of abuse claims against him so he may not be all that cool in reality. From what I remember while everyone who worked on her game had nothing good to say about her or the fake employee they all liked Frank.

Whenever she tweets about her "TEAM" being somewhere while she flies off to California for a womens tech conference or whatever, it's always Frank there working hard probably alone. Dude's a true believer when even she isn't. :lol

Every time I see these various tweets posted I always think to myself, "I don't think any politician running under the Democrat platform could ever win a campaign with this kind of communication." Perhaps the heart and effort is there, but it seems so... goofy.

So then you can't call it Cancel Culture. Although I don't care what you call it, at all, not at all, you can't call it that because it's not that. It's something else. But not that, so don't call it that. Although if you do, I don't really care, but you shouldn't because it's wrong. Very wrong.

She almost never attends any campaign events, 80% of her donations come from out of state (in other words people who can't vote for her), look at the like counts on her tweets, it's a campaign that exists purely on Twitter and even there it's doing poorly. Yet has still somehow spent $100,000 already with a year to go before the primary.

She's also running, again, against a four-term incumbent who last time in the primary pasted her 71-23, and doesn't even have Republicans run against him in the general election usually.

What is this garbage design doing in my Atelier game?

And with Atelier Ryza breaking record sales, am I going to have to deal with perverted fanservice infecting another game series designed for women to the point where they feel alienated!?!
I'm sorry to say that, but if nobody bought the previous Atelier games when they were excellent, especially by the people complaining here, there's a reason this happened.
Atelier games get a new character designer for every trilogy anyway, it's nothing new, similar to Fire Emblem.

edit 2:
If you didn't buy Atelier games before, and are complaining that you won't buy it now, I'm not sure what the point is.
What are you talking about? I bought the remakes and even Lulula
1) So are you updating the OP with the other screenshots showing it's actually not that bad? Those pictures seem to come from a random twitter account, but the actual ingame screenshots are really not similar.
2) So you bought just the Arland games, is that right? Not the Mysterious trilogy, the Dusk ones (that are getting a remake too in January, so everyone is happy)...? No PS2 games?
3) You buying some games doesn't change the fact that those games have been selling less and less. Ryza getting a sales boost doesn't mean that characters will always get those designs.
4) Again, if you played Atelier for more than the Arland games, you know that each story arc has a different designer. This is a new one just like the Arland one (that felt like the girls were way too young for many people) was different from the Dusk one.
Designs are pretty varied and change often, you should check them.

Yes, and as I already have said plenty of times, that kind of "cancelling" isn't in any way new. It's boycotting. Why not call it "boycott culture", then? Because people would be a lot more understanding of it. The right just tries to make it something evil like they are trying to frame SJWs as oppressors worse than the alt right nazis shooting up joints & putting children into consentration camps.

Famaasu is so stupid. Companies wouldn't lose a dent with a boycott from these people. What they do want to prevent, however, is a social media wave that paints a parent company as supporting a person who says vocal minority controversial statements.

The alt right gets their job done for them by the far left. Except the far right get to sit back and claim they're for things like freedom of speech and coin the snowflake term. You have a lot in common with each other dude!

User Warned: Inflammatory generalizations

I had no idea how much HRC voters hated Sanders until i started following the politics threads in here more often.

They absolutely hate him, they hate his supporters, his staff, progressive journalists who are nice to him, i mean, everything remotely close to Sanders.

In the end this might be what stops him from winning, i think he´s due for a bounce back, but the hate is still flowing strong. Once the process of Warren x Sanders becomes more clear, we will reach new levels of hate from people who went from Hillary to Warren.

I have no idea how to contain this hate if i was a campaign manager for Sanders.

looking at their other posts, I am suprised to see Gandhi re-incarnated into a Canadian... Although the wisdom is undeniable
