He thinks it's weird that something that has been witnessed for all of human history is not beyond the pale (and presumably banned) but can't understand why some stupid legislators might want to ban "acknowledging the existence of gay people"?

The funny part about Futurama is how timeless parts of it can feel regarding technology and/or family, while simultaneously having completely dated references like "Susan Boil". How the fuck did that specific reference slip past editing into what was otherwise a decent episode about the ephemeral nature of internet celebrity and shame.

Anyway, the dog episode don't get my feels, it's the brother episode.

 :social2

At least some of the regular posters aren't falling for this shit.

Also good old moderate strawman of "I want to kill blacks!" versus "I just want human rights!" - WHERE DO WE MEET IN THE MIDDLE HERP DERP?

This thread is an amazing example of ignoring evidence that doesn't fit the narrative.  Hanzo wrote up a nice concise post about the creator not being someone worth listening to and the only engagement with it is questioning why no one is engaging with it.  There is zero chance the OP and participating mod didn't see that post, so if they aren't ignoring it because it doesn't fit their narrative, they agree with it but know it's against TOS.

Like, they could just as easily say "all that is bad, but he's right on this thing" but they won't even do that.

Edit: was curious about that side of Era in general, so took a look in the socialism thread and it seems that Sphagnum is perm'd.  Huh....

When your empathy borne of being trans is so strong you end up yelling fuck you at an Asian poster who's doing being Asian wrong:
Quote from: Vanillalite
Well this thread should be fun considering Era ran off the Asian demo years ago.
Quote from: Jessi77
You do know that currently posting Asian members hate this thought and get pissed about it? Only matters to me even though I am not Asian because my community (trans and non binary) are constantly reading how we abandoned era and it’s categorically untrue, some trans members left but the community is actually stronger and closer than it was before they did.

So maybe stop using marginalized communities that are not a monolith as a “point”, that’s the shit that really drives us off and pisses us off.
Quote from: Vanillalite
I’m Asian. I along with many were abandoned. Thanks for explaining this all to me though.

It’s also already shown in this very thread as the lawsuit in question was brought by Asians. While I’ll concede this issue isn’t a monolith issue for Asians I might want to actually you know hear what Asians think on this issue vs the stock “omg we just want to protect the whites” replies.

Also this is just another example of shitting on Asians on Era. To be expected.
Quote from: Jessi77
Look all I am saying is I have seen multiple Asian posters in multiple threads where this comes up say that it pisses them off. And I remember it because my community faces the same shit constantly to the point of discussions about it. It was un needed metatextual sniping that was unneeded for your actual desired discussion.

As best I can tell, there was no edit, but there's a second response to the same message:
Quote from: Jessi77
Nice edit, I am not shitting on anyone, your the one who is pushing a point that others have an issue with and I was just pointing that out.

And the truth of the matter anyway is it doesn’t matter who brings the lawsuit or what ethnicity people are that have opinions, with the makeup of the court right now any decision will serve the Facist Ethnostate attempt, so those comment are not out of line.

Edit: Maybe it wasn’t an edit, but that kind of offends me that I am sticking up for multiple posters and somehow that makes my post anti-Asian rhetoric.

FUCK YOU, I’ll take a ban for that.

Yes, the dog one is most obvious, but I felt it to a lot of Fry related ones. Not saying on the level of crying or anything like that thread but just lots of instances where it's a real impact with a revelation. They did well to make a complete idiot sympathetic.

Not only the brother episode but also in the first movie where they reveal the guy Fry has hated so passionately is Fry himself living out his dream. Or when Fry gives up his smarts. Or to pick a Leela one when she thinks she's going insane. Futurama was never afraid to be thoughtful.

Hi there, I'm 33 yrs old and just the other day, I forgot my home address and zip code. I could not recall them AT ALL until my wife reminded me.

It was that moment that finally made me start to panic. You see, I've actually got a couple of problems with dodgy memory. For example, I can't remember the order of any of the months past March. I don't know all the names of santas reindeer. I just don't remember numbers in general. I have to write everything down at my job or I am fucked. Sometimes I forget my own phone number.

But I'm scared to be honest. Forgetting my home address? I don't normally have a problem with that. One of my greatest fears is growing old and having alzheimers or dementia and here I am feeling like I'm certainly bound for it. I'm frightened.

It's just so fucked up how white conservatives have made "white racism" a rallying cry and if not that then they go on to claim that race related programs that are created to promote equality are in fact promoting racism. That's the claim they make towards critical race theory, but the truth is that they dont want conservative values to be challenged because they know of the racist and generally evil history associated to conservative movements.

Ignorance is bliss to conservatives, and they want that shit to continue, to create a new generation of nazis to do their evil bidding. To make sure that society is as harsh as positive for everyone except for the wealthy and powerful. To live in fear of either being shot or having to worry about losing your healthcare. It's all about fear, all about hate and mistrust held up by a backbone of greed.

White republicans don't even realize that once they deal with minorities it wont end there, white conservatism has a history of tearing each other up. Once they relegate minorities to third class citizens they'll go after whites of Irish and Italian descent and so on. Fucking scum, they always have been and always will be.

I'm of the opinion that for many many decades those of Asian descent have been endlessly painted as "model minorities" precisely because it is a useful narrative for stomping down the "non-model minorities" in a clear divide and conquer scheme. I think any narrative which pretends that ANYBODY can just bootstrap their way through a meritocracy is proven time and again to be completely false and without merit.

I don't see why this is any different. If the U.S. had just White Americans and Asian Americans, Asian Americans would be struggling for Affirmative Action just as hard as other people of color.

The point I am making is, Asian Americans have been subject to, held down by, and even benefitted from a narrative custom built to pit one ethnic minority over another solely to dis-empower the whole lot. This isn't some conspiracy, this is a clear historical trend.

White supremacists have been trying to drive a wedge between minority groups since before this country was founded, and there is really no reason to pretend that the latest batch of republican dickheads who are going after affirmative action are doing it for any reason other than white supremacy.
Quote
I really hope that Howard and Hampton have scaled back their efforts to shake being HBCUs, they're needed more than ever now.

I don't think conservatives will stop until they kill affirmative action, and I think it's a mistake to imagine we can make AA bad enough so that conservatives will be okay with it.

We only make it easier to attack AA when we do those things, just look at how effectively they've been using Asian Americans to argue against it.
Many such cases.

Sphagnum's ban is horse shit. How the fuck does a post like that receive a permanent ban.



So many of the good people in this thread have been banned for what comes down to "tone." If critical points are offered from someone who is to another's left, and includes a brief joke or a quip, it's like oh my god how dare you. Sphagnum has been offering those points with sincerity for years--it gets tiring! Sometimes it feels better to make light of it! It's not trolling or harassment or a history. Like, fucking read through the post and see the sincerity.

Fucking disgraceful to perm sphagnum, calling his post "trolling". He was one of the better posters on this site and the post in question was no more trolling than what many liberals posters on this forum's arguments could be considered that when they are so poorly thought out. It's clear that ERA moderation is out hunting people on the left that threatens their fragile world view that is more and more falling apart each year that passes.



If you open a thread regarding social issues that questions the hegemony of the capitalist states like America or Europa, and one of their liberal trollers jump in and start trying to derail the thread with "WHAT ABOUT CHINA AND RUSSIA!?" shit, calling you a "tankie" despite them being the fucking warmongers and every single other stereotype of a liberal, then the moderation does NOTHING to stop them. You fucking stand up to their precious little liberal posters who spout the most inane nonsense shit, you risk running the banhammer immediately.



And we're not even the first people to get hit, they have already scared off from this site minority posters, people from other countries, trans people, gay people, everyone else who don't subscribe to their American centric world view. All that this site is gonna remain as is a giant US. echo chamber of "WhaT cAn WE dO aBOut thOSe BaD guYs RusSiA!?" fucking sucking up to everything their goddamn president says.



This site was supposed to be a new place for everyone of us who fled GAF which has turned into a right wing hole, but thanks to centrists this place is once again turning towards that direction too.

Edit: was curious about that side of Era in general, so took a look in the socialism thread and it seems that Sphagnum is perm'd.  Huh....
ha, that was originally a duration pending, but here's the ban:

Sphagnum's ban is horse shit. How the fuck does a post like that receive a permanent ban.



So many of the good people in this thread have been banned for what comes down to "tone." If critical points are offered from someone who is to another's left, and includes a brief joke or a quip, it's like oh my god how dare you. Sphagnum has been offering those points with sincerity for years--it gets tiring! Sometimes it feels better to make light of it! It's not trolling or harassment or a history. Like, fucking read through the post and see the sincerity.

Might as well ban the remainder of people in this OT since it's transparent of who is and isn't welcomed here.

sphagnum is banned, that Second Thought thread is going exactly like all the previous ones... another quick reminder why I hardly ever bother to post about this kinda stuff on here.

It was good reading this thread while it lasted though.

Lots of Sinophobia in this thread. At least I'm pretty sure that attacking Tencent as a malicious force, pointing out its holdings of various game companies, indicating that it requests changes to games, pointing out its CCP ties, etc. were all Sinophobia bans in the past.

The better Tencent/Chinese censorship news today was this that I posted in the movies thread:
Chinese censors have apparently added this to the end of Fight Club:


 :dead

edit: apparently Lord of War too:
The American crime film Lord of War ends with its protagonist, an arms dealer played by Nicolas Cage, evading jail time and returning to arms trafficking. It also states that the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, including the U.S. and China, are the biggest arms suppliers.

But the Tencent Video version, which is about 30 minutes shorter than the original, replaces the ending with a new caption, saying the arms dealer “confessed all the crimes officially charged against him in court, and was sentenced to life imprisonment in the end.”

BBC is too late, ResetERA.com already knows about their transphobic genocidal right-wing agenda:
An anonymous Radio 4 Extra listener discovered the BBC had been quietly editing repeats of shows over the past few years to be more in keeping with social mores, the Times reported.

Labelling them as “woke cuts,” the listener found edits had been made to old episodes of Dad’s Army, Steptoe and Son and I’m Sorry, I’ll Read That Again.

In some cases entire sketches had been removed.

For example, a repeat of a 1970 episode of I’m Sorry, I’ll Read That Again, starring John Cleese and Bill Oddie, had a joke about a scantily clad woman removed.

In the original broadcast, Cleese, impersonating a BBC spokesman, said: “We have noticed that it is possible to see right up to the girls’ knickers, owing to the shortness of their miniskirts, so we’ve asked the girls to drop them.”

The BBC also stripped a mention of the n-word from a 1972 episode of the Ronnie Barker sketch show Lines From My Grandfather’s Forehead.

A reference to African people being “cannibals” was also removed from a 1950 episode of Much Binding in the Marsh, a comedy set in a RAF station.

In a sketch from 1970, David Hatch adopted an Indian accent and was described as being “browned off”. The skit was removed.

Other deleted sketches included a spoof of Harris’s songs, titled Rolf Harris’s Dirty Songbook.

A spokesman for the BBC said: “Listeners enjoy a huge number of old comedies from the archives on 4 Extra and on occasion we edit some episodes so they’re suitable for broadcast today, including removing racially offensive language and stereotypes from decades ago, as the vast majority of our audience would expect.”

its my birthday week too🙄 was taking my normal lunch break was going to UPS store to take a amazon return and a package my co-worker had.

was at a complete stop for left hand turn lane. dude that was 17 years old. yeah 17!! comes flying taking a left turn the other direction overdoes his turn and smashes in to going around 30 MPH. I must have hit my head on the ceiling or side of my door from impact because my top of my head has a huge bump and neck kinda hurts. my glasses went flying and my first reaction was I want to punch this fucker in the face! just spent $700 to get my car fixed from oil leaking and other stuff. until I realized I can't even get out of my car because my door was broken! lmao

I'm feeling okay just hopefully can get a rental today. which is why I have a question, this is my first accident ever and I'm 27(28 on Thursday) when I called GEICO I said I need a rental asap to get from and to work. they said ok but I would have to do the $1,000 deductible and if my car is totaled they subtract It from the check I get or if its not totaled then I pay when they estimate repairs? that's the only way I can get a rental today. the other option was to fight it with the other persons Insurance but since they would need to talk to their insurance I could be a day or 2 to get a rental..... like why?? IT WAS THIER FAULT I did nothing wrong.. I don't wanna do the $1,000 deductible when it wasn't my fault but its the only way I can get a rental today.. wackkkkkk!

happy fucking Monday everyone!

Obligatory reminder that Ubisoft has a lot of shit to clean up at their company.

That said, Legion was easily the best WD game, and almost bordered on an immersive sim with how many options you had to tackle its various encounters. Loved the game. Curious to see what Clint Hocking brings to the next AC game.

Fuck Ubisoft! WD was great, can't wait to buy their next game

I am concerned as fuck about MS, they been evil since forever and Phill not being a shitty evil overlord doesn't make the company that owns his division less evil.

Tencent and MS in the same boat. MS in Brazil is the same as Tencent here.

Many American companies sound nice and all IN AMERICA but keep on killing people outside of the boarders...well within as well but y'all keep forgetting they multinational.

OG Baiken was created because Daisuke thought Ruroni Kenshin was a woman at first, and wanted to make a similar character. Her entire story is she's dead set on vengeance against "That Man" who took everything from her, including her arm and eye. She was basically a travelling samurai hobo whose only purpose in life was to kill "that man". Didnt give a single fuck about anything else, that's why she looks so disheveled.

After the events of Xrd...she doesnt really have a clear path or future anymore, so she's just become big tiddy booby lady.
