Kotaku sure knows how to throw a party

I left my friend’s house covered in dog hair, drunk from the beers, and potentially put off sex forever.

[Ghoul]

Oh god, reset are starting to dig into where she works other than Kotaku, sounds like a company is gonna get a few emails

[Nintex]

Kotaku really needs this? It's underdetermined all the good work from the real writers/journalist at Kotaku.

[EchoRin]

that wifey sounding word.

Who do you think you're fooling, bro

That guy is actually that distressed over the word waifu? 
My goodness. Everyone is supposed to be in on the fact that it's meant to be completely tongue in cheek. As with anything, you'll get individuals that take it way way too far. But to self censor yourself over the word waifu.

U.S. Military Issues Warning to Troops About Incel Violence at Joker Screenings (see staff post for discussion guidelines)

OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION

Though the movie Joker is not yet out, there are reviews that have praised the movie and reviews expressing concerns about how it might inspire audiences. No matter what your opinion is at this time, do not make inflammatory accusations against other members, and do not dismiss polite concerns from other members. We will moderate as strictly as necessary to keep the peace.

[Transhuman]

Why would an Incel target a screening of Joker? I thought they hated women.

[Transhuman]

This is the movie we should be worried about

[Cauliflower Of Love]

Say something bad about Kristen Stewart.

scumbag.

Say something bad about Kristen Stewart.

scumbag.

She was terrible in Panic Room.

James and Kotaku think she was hot though, so what do I know?

that's a godawful trailer but it looks like one of those films that could turn out to actually not be godawful if plays it some of the tropes straight ala Kingsman or whatever

also apparently it's not a reboot-reboot but considered an actual sequel to the previous films with Lucy Liu, etc.

[benjipwns]

lol i forgot the reboot TV series

guess that's not Angels canon

[benjipwns]

Angels Revenge is my personal canon:

Kotaku, the only place where a ten year old Pokémon character getting fucked in the mouth is a-okay, but don’t you dare objectify adult women in your fighting game.

A sequel where being a Charlie's Angel is just a job like being labeled 007 for MI6 seems fine. Not that I really remember the first two 90s movies

[Transhuman]

It doesn't seem like it based on that trailer, it seems far more exploitative than empowering or on-the-nose.

Like there's something to be said for people in their adulthood recontexualizing things they may have found attractive as a kid in a new, and more explicit, fashion. I don't think I'd begrudge any kid who had a crush on Misty finding aspects of her character or design attractive and carrying that into adulthood. She's essentially just a redhead tomboy archetype. And incorporating these elements into your adult sex life with costumes or outfits that reach back to these feelings as a kid is OK when ultimately you're projecting those traits onto someone of age. Roleplay is an important part of the sexual experience.

But actually wanting to depict Misty, actual preteen Misty, in these sexual acts is crossing that line from finding the character traits sexually attractive, to finding the character itself sexually attractive. And knowing that this character is underage is essentially condoning the idea of child pornography. The harm of child pornography isn't just the children involved. They've already been harmed once it's been produced. The harm is allowing the "idea" of child pornography to exist by continuing to give it a market. That's what this kind of stuff does. Deplatforming works, and the way to stop this kind of stuff from existing is not giving it a place to exist.

 

I dunno man, Isn’t roleplaying also keeping the idea that Misty is some sort of sex symbol that is okay to lust for?  Is not the same reason why Disney keeps screwing copyright laws because they can say that people will inevitably corrupt symbols of childhood?

[Boredfrom]

As a corollary I do think there are ways in which you could do a story about a character or characters who were underage in the stories they originated in just in the same sort of way that you refer to projecting those traits onto someone of age. I believe it was in the anime feminism OT that it was discussed that Nanoha, for example, has a, well, complicated relationship with adult content in general, but at the same time the main characters of Nanoha were given the opportunity over the course of the series as a whole to actually become adults, and I don't see any reason that can't happen to other characters in fan works. What would it be like if [character_name_here] went to college and got into some relationships? What about their life as a working adult? It wouldn't excise fetishism/objectification from the discussion but it would at least meet a baseline level of responsibility for depiction of that sort of content.

HOLY SHIT MUTEKI YOU DUMB FUCK!

Tijuana Bibles were eight-page, hand-sized comic books featuring well-known cartoon characters, sporting heroes, and Hollywood film stars in a sequence of hardcore sexual shenanigans. They first appeared sometime in the 1920s as illustrated dirty jokes featuring squeaky clean comic strip characters like Tillie the Toiler and Jiggs and Maggie from “Bringing Up Baby.” The more straightlaced the character, the more outrageous the smut.

Their instant success led to far more explicit hardcore tales featuring famous movie stars like Mae West, Robert Mitchum, Dorothy Lamour, Greta Garbo, even Laurel & Hardy, alongside such well-loved cartoon figures as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Popeye and Betty Boop porking the fuck out of everything that moved. They were cheap titillation intended to arouse and (in their own way) educate the virginal. They were subversive and offensively humorous.

The name “Tijuana Bible” came from the mistaken belief these comics were produced south of the border and smuggled into the USA. They were actually produced and printed in the States by local artists and independent businesses who hid behind fake publishing titles like “London Press” and “Tobasco Publishing Co.” They were sold under-the-counter in tobacco shops, bars, barbers and bowling alleys at 25 cents a pop. Their greatest popularity was during the Depression of the 1930s, eventually petering out with the arrival of real porn mags in the 1950s.

 

Oh, you guys. Always blaming the Mexicans...

Tijuana Bibles are now considered by many comic book historians to be among the very first underground comix. More importantly, these cheaply produced comic books helped unfetter sex and sexuality from the weight of societal and religious strictures of guilt and taboo by making sex seem fun, natural, and something to be greatly enjoyed.

Holy shit, I didn’t notice too.

Maybe in your backwards country, here in God's Country, Congress simply extends the copyright terms and allows them to be assigned to immortals.

An impeachment process is basically a grand jury trial

Hypothetically (regardless of how implausible this is) can Trump get impeached and convicted by the senate and then continue to run for president in the 2020 election?

I'm excited about how this is going to benefit the dozens (?) of other ongoing congressional investigations currently slogging their way through the courts. Now's when Cummins', Nadler's, Schiff's, et al's due diligence is going to start to pay off.

This all comes down to how well the Democrats control their messaging. The media will try to both sides everything, and Democrats have proven that they're inconsistent at best when it comes to messaging. The PR game on this has to be top-tier, because the enemy is very practiced at playing this game.

If the trump witnesses decides to ignore the subpoenas for the impeachment trial. will they be going to jail or there won’t be any consequences Like before?

Man, I feel like I remember Lou Dobbs not being crazy a decade or so ago.

This thread is so incredibly frustrating to read.

Being totally serious here: I have second-hand PTSD from the aurora incident and sometimes I get really unreasonably nervous at theaters.

I went to see Ad Astra the other day and this guy next to me was acting so odd. He had a backpack on his lap and his hand inside it the entire time. I could barely focus on the film because my mind and heart were racing.

All this stuff about Joker is starting to scare me. I have 7pm Dolby tickets for that Thursday.

[benjipwns]

Please everyone stay safe out there if you go and see this movie. Nowodays you just never know when someone will decide to snap and vent out their frustrations on society :/

[benjipwns]

Refusing to see the connection between the Joker and sentiment to commit violence when the FBI themselves noted a direct link is a full on yikes from me dawg.

FULL ON

[BisMarckie]

I was just playing Arkham Asylum yesterday, literally shaking right now.

[Anti-Monitor]

Seriously though, why is there such panic over Joker? It almost reads like parodies of 80s and 90s moms worried about any kind of problematic media turning people into murderers.

[Lonewulfeus]

I was just playing DCUO as a joker aligned villain character, am I already a murderous incel?

lol, comparing movies like Natural Born Killers to The Birth of a Nation for incels.

[benjipwns]

This particular piece of fiction features an Incel symbol.

You don't think a movie about say, Donald Trump being a hero by killing minorities could be dangerous seeing how he's a symbol for many crazies?

[benjipwns]

watch nobody get killed, yet another DC movie with tons of hype that fails to deliver

[BisMarckie]

Can't wait to see it after all this moral panic .
I'm pretty sure it will be another shlocky funny book movie with a little bit of edginess sprinkled in.

[Anti-Monitor]

Like, is there anything showing that the movie portrays the Joker as a hero or a good guy or anything? Granted I've not been following it, but it seems pretty usual "dude with problems goes through some shit and he snaps"

[benjipwns]

can't wait to pirate it and kill myself at home to stay safe from the incels at the theaters

A bunch of reviewers who wanted to view the film through the frame of it being an alt-right incel celebration confirmed their biases when they saw it and interpreted the latter as thus rather than being an age old concept.

[benjipwns]

I find the most dangerous part to be the fact that nobody focuses on how Batman is as much of, if not more of, an incel unlike the Joker who has had a monogamous relationship for decades now.

Typical media bias in favor of the wealthy vigilantes who run local cities as their own private city-state. May the Court send the Talon for his head!

No.  They just can't survive without a Boogeyman.

[benjipwns]

the boogeyman is a well known alt-right icon going back centuries

She desperately needs a boyfriend.

User Banned (2 weeks): Grossly inappropriate and inflammatory accusations

Umm...I guess at this point I shouldn’t be surprised, some of the shit that Kotaku spews out of their newsroom is god awful but this is a new low.

Yes, writing about sex games at Kotaku is literally her job. That’s why all her past articles are also about sex games.

What’s the point here?

you seem awfully defensive about someone posting literal video game child pornography, wanna say something else about it?

Law enforcement does not care about it, they have their resources spread thin enough pursuing actual cases of exploitation, they have virtually no interest in fictional material. That's why this kind of content is so ubiquitous on the internet.

Also I'm very happy to see the no tolerance policy on drawn/rendered child porn here. I was yelling at pedophiles for years at the old place with little support, christ.
