I'm not surprised by what has happened, but I am just extremely disappointed.Time to pin hopes on this Liberal Government being difficult to manage - the last 3 years weren't exactly a shining light of stability.

Yay, let's hope for utter chaos for the next three years so OUR SIDE can have a chance of winning the next election.

These partisan assholes would rather watch the country burn than see the "other side" succeed and maybe create something positive for the country.

Sad, unfortunate results. All those who voted conservative should be shamed for their support of racist institutions.

It doesn't really affect their objectivity because I doubt that guy is one of their writers if he's that's bad at it (and that sensitive).

I mean the Liberals would be thinking precisely the same had Labor won, can't fault that either.

This is something that baffles me. MLP is a feminist show and teaches kids not to discriminate yet I found that the fandom has so many anti feminist chuds and bigots or centrist. I don't understand. I went from 'I wonder why people hate bronies to 'No wonder people hate bronies'. Why is this fandom so toxic?

Truly the worst of them all, the centrist!

Hell, there is a "gay" bar here in Philly that I actively avoid because they've become a "Gay themed" straight bar. Annoying straight people who didn't know how to keep their hands to themselves has been a problem for years, but the last time I was there I was literally stalked from floor to floor by a drunk straight girl who wouldn't stop grabbing at my junk. Didn't stop until I said to her, "Look, if you were a dude doing this to me? I would have already hit you."

And what did she do? Start crying.

does anyone actually identify as a fucking centrist

because it sounds like a strawman label for moderate

moderate means recognizing you don't have to toe the party line and can decide where you stand on any issue for yourself, centrist is splitting every choice exactly down the middle like a distinguished mentally-challenged king solomon

I don't think anyone actually believes that

[VomKriege]

Why dies someone need to blurt out what happened in a piece of media before a large section of the population has experienced it for themselves? People have deep issues if that cannot be considerate of others by purpose ruining experiences for other. Spoiling people need to be taught social norms or see a therapist.

You guys are like edge-lord “A”theists owning the non-galaxy brained plebes with this shit. 

How many samurai swords do you own?

Eh, it depends. A lot of my favorite movies, games, books and whatever was shit that I was spoiled on whether I wanted to be or not, and they weren't cause of the spoilers that got me into them, just a general curiosity of "a lot of people seem to like this so I'll check it out"

There's definitely something to be said about going in blind, and I'd much rather experience something without any prior knowledge rather than the opposite but any work is more than sentences that give away this or that, or at the very least it depends on it's purpose.

It's why people get so annoyed about the so called "spoiler culture". It's cool that some strangers online will attempt to limit what they can say in hopes of others enjoying something as much as they did, but dumber people took that to mean that the end all be all is what happens narratively irregardless of the narrative itself. Which is why you got peeps going around saying no spoilers over a remake of a 22 year old JRPG that has a similar "vader is luke's father" level of infamy. Like what does it really accomplish but be yet another excuse to be assholes to people online?

And meanwhile I know that the next wash_doges is set in london and the next assysins creed is about vikings, not because I got to watch the trailer revealing that, but because kotaku gossiped it, and it gets to be a fucking thread title with zero ambiguity on resetera.

So get mad about well known plot points from games 20 fucking years old, but cavalierly ruin big picture concepts of games that aren't even fucking announced yet.

80% chance it was the US that lobbed the rocket

I remember when Shutter Island came out, my dad unintentionally spoiled the movie for me by blurting out what he correctly guessed was the twist: "I bet HE'S the patient!" This did in fact ruin the movie for me.

The thing about he spoilers is that some artists work so hard on what they’re creating for the fans and ten when it gets ruined or the buildup of all the payoff doesn’t work out and it’s devasting to the creator and the viewer and with enough buildup not leading to climax or being spoiled outside the moment it’s almost like watching porn instead of having sexual before when you’re a virgin an it all gets ruined and same with the elections of you were wondering how trump got elected it’s all the spoilers of saying Hillary was gonna win and then people were spoiled and didn’t even go and spoiler culture pretty much elected trump and killed all this people at the border and locked in cages and ruined virginity or so many kids

Can someone with access to the marrec troll account post this on REEE please?

https://www.spectator.co.uk/2019/05/writers-blocked-even-fantasy-fiction-is-now-offensive/amp/

Writers blocked: Even fantasy fiction is now offensive

It was Lionel Shriver who saw the writing on the wall. Giving a keynote speech at the Brisbane Writers Festival three years ago in which she decried the scourge of modern identity politics, Shriver observed that the dogma of ‘cultural appropriation’ —which demands no less than complete racial segregation in the arts — had not yet wrapped its osseous fingers around the publishing industry. But, she warned: ‘This same sensibility is coming to a bookstore near you.’ Reader, it has come.
......

Because this persecution on the most spurious grounds is endemic — and because so many of its actors are themselves YA authors — plenty of those brandishing the proverbial pitchforks have, upon publication of their own novels, subsequently found themselves staring down the sharp side of a four-pronged rod.
.....
Once you start seeing goblins in fairyland, there’s no end to it. Even the most enlightened author can cause offence. It is only a matter of time before it begins to eat away at every genre until, as Shriver predicted, ‘All that’s left is memoir’.
.....
But it’s not just writers who ought to be worried. The logical apogee of a prohibition on cultural intercourse is a future in which each person is allowed to document only his or her precise subjective experience. A future, in other words, where fiction is history. And that sounds like a very dreary prospect for us all.

A low social credit score will exclude you from well-paid jobs, make it impossible for you to get a house or a car loan or even book a hotel room.

This is - of course - entirely different to regular Credit Scores systems, which also do exactly that, but its fine that in the west we give banks that kind of power, but the sinister orientals cede that power to government.

We’ve had this thread like 5 times at least. And in reality, in practice, at least how it currently exists, it’s not at all like what you read about. Not defending the ccp or saying that it’s a good thing or anything of the sort. But it’s mostly just a sensational story for the west at this point. The future probably it will be different aka worse. Also not saying it’s not worth discussing, just saying it’s been discussed countless times on here and mostly it devolves to “fuck china” posts instead of actual discussion about anything of value.

Also this.

I mean, its just that baffling the exact same 'news' keeps coming out from a declining super power involved in a trade war with an emerging one.
