It’s simple: Batman is racist, and fans of Batman are also racist.

white, wealthy authoritarian with unhealthy focus on low-level crime indulges in violent vigilantism fantasy fighting said crime in an inefficient way

underserved facets of society who have to resort to crime are PoC, and Batman furthers those disparities by augmenting their suffering

if you like Batman, you’re part of the problem

Not sure if joking
 

Holy shit that thread. When did Batman get cancelled?

Part of the Batman fantasy is always an authoritarian billionaire larping as a bat while beating up petty criminals (in real life, statistically speaking minorities because of systemic racism) while wearing power armor and driving around a tank

Instead of using his money to do things like run for office to make things better, for example

Because that sure would make an enticing superhero story.

Being fair, there was comic series that was about a superhero becoming a politician. The comics was Ex Machina (No relation with the film) and I heard it was pretty good.

Make Link left-handed. Make right-handedness an option.

Link has historically been left-handed (because Shigeru Miyamoto is left handed), but Nintendo discovered while porting Twilight Princess to the Wii that a minority of right-handed people become nauseous when using a Wiimote to play a left-handed character, so they inverted the entire fucking game. Left-handed people? What are those? Becoming nauseous? Nah, I'm pretty sure that's not a thing that exists for left-handed people. Only right-handed people get sick that way.

It may have been slightly forgivable to not have at least a left-handed mode in Twilight Princess Wii, since this was unexpected and they had to resort to an awkward kludge to fix it for the majority of people, but this issue was known well before Skyward Sword even entered the design phase, so Nintendo has no excuse for continuing the whitewashing of Link and telling left-handed people to go fuck themselves.


Or better yet, delete the entire motion controls. They sucked.

  THE MOD ADMIRAL'S DURATION PENDING WATCH FOR AUGUST 24, 2020

BDS: DURATION STILL PENDING (21 DAYS)
KILROGG: DURATION STILL PENDING (20 DAYS)
FUNKYMUNKY: DURATION STILL PENDING (18 DAYS)
KETKAT: DURATION STILL PENDING (17 DAYS)
THRONAZUG: DURATION STILL PENDING (17 DAYS)

WORDBALLOONS: DURATION STILL PENDING (11 DAYS)
WELLBORNWARRIOR: DURATION STILL PENDING (7 DAYS)
FUME5: DURATION STILL PENDING (6 DAYS)

At the very least, make her ban temporary with a clear duration (not a "pending" that might just quietly turn into a perm; "pending durations" are just dumb and often feel like a way to quietly sweep permabans under the rug btw).

previously on...

SUPREMEWU: NOW PERMANENT (29 DAYS)

FRANK O'CONNOR: NOW PERMANENT  (11 DAYS)

And like .... we're on a video game message board which is inherently about generally spending decent amount of money on frivolity but apparently if you travel like at all you're the 1% or something.

Seems someone doesn't think rich people getting depressed over not being able to travel is a 1st world problem.

I wonder why...

User Banned (2 weeks): Dismissing concerns about representation

The OP is vague as hell, especially the original title which was changed by a moderator apparently. Apparently spanking is bad? Then it talks about those two guys without any detail. I had to google and find a video of the boss fight to realize they are homophobic caricatures. I can't remember every little detail from the game, it's been over a decade since I've played it. Maybe the OP should have done a better job at explaining the issue.

THE MOD ADMIRAL'S DURATION PENDING WATCH FOR AUGUST 24, 2020

UPDATE:
FUNKYMUNKY: NOW PERMANENT (18 DAYS)
ARC: NOW ONE MONTH (14 DAYS)

BENJIPWNS GETS RESULTS

[BIONIC]

In case anyone gives a shit:

Hello everyone. Thank you to everyone who offered their input in this thread. The team has been reviewing and going over the feedback and discussing what can be done to address the most common issues that came up. Here are some of the improvements we believe we can start working on immediately, along with a few suggestions on how members can help us get there.

Things that we need to do:

• Implementing threadbans site wide for minor infractions. This is hopefully a way to keep discussions on track in cases where site bans are not required, or when a warning is not sufficient on its own. Moving to another thread to continue whatever caused the threadban, or repeating the offense that resulted in a threaddban in the first place would still be cause for escalation.
• Set up a separate system for ban appeals. We’re looking at a tech solution that we think is promising and should help us process these faster and get responses out faster, cutting out the need for emails. We’re going to make this a high priority.
• Investigate allowing members to view their own infraction history. There are some challenges here but if we can make it work we want to make it work.
• Get more moderators. It's not like we ever stopped, but with how the team has been stretched thin lately we clearly need to ramp up the search. More staff will help us process everything more quickly. We are especially committed to bringing on more Asian and Muslim moderator candidates.
• More detailed public ban banners across the board, to explain bans more clearly. "Duration Pending" banners are used because regular moderators cannot ban for longer than 1 month; this is to avoid hasty permabans or bans of excessive length. The text in these banners will be clarified to explain that they are temporary placeholders until they can be reviewed.
• Ensure that bans that are extended due to alt-accounts or other reasons are documented in banners
• Try to strike the right balance between bans, warnings, and threadbans, or even just a mod coming to tell people to chill, to ensure that threads don't get derailed by a ban and that penalties are proportionate to the infraction. Better communication through mod participation in threads can help with this.
• Preferred pronouns on profiles. This has been in the works for a while and we’re hoping to get it done along with the other high priority tech items.
• An "online" indicator for staff members who are available, so that users know who is around for them to come to.
• Prefixes will be expanded to enable members to better filter the content they're looking for. This has also been in the works, but may come after the other tech items as we've bumped those up higher in priority.

Things users can do to help:

• Criticizing moderation and the practices is fine. Being a complete asshole to the team or any member of the team is not. Neither users nor staff should have to just sit back and take verbal abuse. If you can't at minimum realize that there is a person, not a robot, on the other end of your words, then nothing productive can happen.
  
• Lines of communication between staff and members can only work if there’s an understanding that it is done in good faith. We don’t sit here tending to the site for hours each day because we’re bored and love punishment. We’ve made mistakes in the past with handling feedback and the point of this thread was to reboot that effort.
• In general, just be nicer to each other. This shouldn't be Twitter, where people just respond to a post with a petty snipe and move on about their day. This is supposed to be a community where we can sit down and have actual discussions, with the occasional poop thread that is probably unnecessary.  Console wars and hostility BY FAR make up the largest portion of our reports. Simply letting people enjoy things would do wonders for the tone of the site and the stress of the staff.
  

We hope to be able to follow up soon when we implement some of the concrete features we’re committing to here.
