A controversial pastor is planning a "massive burning" of Harry Potter and Twilight books, as well as other items, in Tennessee.

I mean, he can take the Harry Potter books.

Quote
By all means, burn the TERF books.

Ah, never thought I would get to see a second satanic panic. Mixed feelings on the Harry Potter stuff though.

Whoopie just said that Jews are so cheap that she'll support their businesses - businesses that will never offer waivers.  Holy shit.  She really hates these people.
"The holocaust was just white people fighting against other white people it wasn't about race" - whoopie goldberg

"No, it wasn't about race" - whoopie goldberg

"It had nothing to do with race" - whoopie goldberg

Whoopi was definitely confused when people called Nick Cannon racist for talking sideways about jews.

Is this a spoiler in a thread title

Nah, come the fuck on with this statute of limitation BS when it comes to spoilers

Spoilers don't have some arbitrary date when they suddenly become something that wouldn't negatively affect someones experience. There are all sorts of reasons someone might not have been able to play or watch or read something yet.

MGS 4 spoilers :maf

How hard is it to title a thread like....

"Is 'Star Wars: Rogue One' the only family movie that...(Spoiler Warning)"

Instead of giving a way a major spoiler of the film, in the title?

Like folks who have watched the movie will still enter the thread.

I know some of yall like doing shit on purpose to fuck with folks who don't like be spoiled regarding films and shows. And that says alot about yall.

What makes the absurdity even more hilarious is that it's the most inoffensive fucking children's book.  Typically the book burning argument comes packed with rebuffs like, "What about books explicitly about hate?  what about violent pornographic magazines?  You think those should be allowed?"  No, it's Harry fucking Potter that's the object too heavy to stand on the ethical morass here.   :lol

I'm sure at this point ERA would be perfectly fine with absolute and total censorship of some pieces of media... but it would at least be a discussion. Harry Potter tho? Put that in line ahead of Mein Kampf for the book burning buddy.

Which is even more hilarious because Harry Potter is only infused with evil in a post JK as TERF society, up until the very moment that JK Rowling retweeted an Op-Ed all copies of Harry Potter were fine, but afterward every book that existed was instantly turned into Hate Literature. It's one thing to say "Don't spend money on Harry Potter or promote it because that gives money to Rowling" but to retroactively establish that the books are "TERF books" and THOSE ones are ok to burn is wild.

I'm sure this has been ruminated elsewhere but is the opposite of death of the author, this is supremacy of the author, immortality for Rowling and Harry Potter.

People often say Nazi this and Nazi that but the brand and iconic trademark are apparently still going strong today and not counting the start-up phase and various rebrands was only active for about a decade (less than GamerGate) and viral for about 5 years.
There was also an active campaign to cancel and remove the brand when it was considered toxic (for good reason I might add) afterwards.

Does cancelling and banning things work?

Sony, please buy square enix, it makes perfect sense. FF is PlayStation to me. If Microsoft buys them, I'm done with gaming. I just cant enjoy Microsoft games and systems for some reason. Microsoft has a MMO in warcraft, Sony you can have one in ff14. I read somewhere that a Japanese company can't be sold outside of Japan, is there any truth to this?

Sometimes this whole site just makes me cringe.

I hope this is a fake post, but I've seen enough of this to guess that it's not.

I don't think it benefits them, but all I can say is now I'm rooting for MS to pick up Square Enix, or even just Final Fantasy, just to see the meltdowns. This idea that Final Fantasy could be great if Sony picks it up, but that it would be awful if Microsoft buys it, is just...I'm not trying to call you out in particular...but come on. Brand loyalty is fucking gross. They are corporations. Not your friends.

Also, MS bought Tango Gameworks as part of the Bethesda deal, so yes, Japanses companies can be sold outside of Japan, and Microsoft only bought them so they could brush up their Japanese for when they buy SE.

I would like for it to stay multi-platform, but if one of Microsoft or PlayStation was to buy them, I would want it to be Sony. It's not brand loyalty, I bought a 360 and returned it the next day. I just hated everything about it and the controller. Yes there is a special place in my heart for Sony, ff7 was my first ever ff game on ps1. I continued playing them on ps2,ps3,ps4 and now PS5. Just after Christmas, I bought a series x. Again I hated everything about it, the layout is horrible, game pass is not all that like people let on. I sold the series x two days later. I have game pass to August 2024. Luckily I have a pc and I have only downloaded halo and deleted it after a few hours as I thought it sucked. I have not touched game pass for over a month. Most of the games on it doesn't interest me.



I have spent most of my gaming life on PlayStation, I am invested heavily in their ecosystem. I reckon over the last 10 years I have spent over 10,000 pounds on games. I also love trophies and have over 200 plats, yes Xbox has achievements but in my opinion trophies are better, yes I know they are similar but earning a plat feels so much rewarding to me and trophies have established themselves in my gaming. I know this is not a big deal to many, but the PlayStation controller is better in my opinion, maybe I'm just used to it as I have gamed on PlayStation. The Xbox controller is good, and surprisingly it felt comfortable in my hands, and I know this is a personal problem I can't train myself to get use to the button layout on the Xbox controller. I know It's because I'm used to PlayStation button layout. I'm coming 40 this year and my brain/memory is not what is used to be. I can't game on a PlayStation controller then switch to an Xbox controller, it just won't click.



I will repeat this is not brand loyalty, I don't like Xbox, the layout is horrible compared to PlayStation, I found this to be one of many reasons why I can't switch between the two system, the controller being another issue and the games too, I was really not impressed with game pass. So hopefully you can understand why I would want Sony to buy square enix and not Microsoft, if it was the latter, and they kept ff off PlayStation, A series that I love, I have enjoyed every ff game from 7 upwards. I have over 1500 hours into ff14. I am not letting Microsoft force me to join their ecosystem if they were to acquire square enix. Yes, I would love them to stay multi, which means I get to enjoy ff on a system that I enjoy. The chances are if Microsoft buys square, future ff games will only be on Xbox/ game pass.

The nut-hutch has a thread on that: https://www.resetera.com/threads/whoopi-goldberg-suspended-from-the-view-for-claiming-the-holocaust-isnt-about-race.547286/

Given that Whoopi is a black woman and I am a white man, I must defer to her on matters of race. Seems like the 'allies' on reset haven't learned to sit down and listen properly though.

Whoopi should go on the Joe Rogan Experience to share her new uncoverings about the Holocaust white groups fighting each other and her take on 9/11.

When you study the holocaust in an European school, the conflict isn’t as much described as racism, but more as xenophobia and homophobia. I guess it could be racism if you factor in the Aryan race component of it all though.
You did not study the Holocaust in a European school bub. No one in Europe would call the Holocaust a 'conflict'.  :doge

Remember, the world has only 2 races: White and Black.
3 if you count White Adjacent but they are just as White.

I finally understand why the US considers the drone bombings of weddings, hospitals and schools a 'conflict' instead of a war crime though :dead

I wonder what a white-passing black person would have to say about this


Yup, truly the important thing to know when we discuss the racism (citation needed, apparently) of the holocaust  :derp

Let's play the game ResetEra or Mein Kampf
Quote
As concepts, race - and to a similar extent nationality - can have some surprising properties, when examined from a historical perspective. Often they do not emerge organically, from within the people in question, but are in fact born out of a superficial grouping enforced upon them by an oppressor.

I suspect if you actually looked into the ancestry of large groups of African Americans, going back to their different areas of origin within the continent, you'd find that culturally and ethnically they differed from one another much more than European people did.

There's also scientific evidence supporting the idea that genetic diversity is much higher in Africa than in any other continent, which makes sense since humans supposedly evolved in Africa and spread out from there.

All this is to say that racism is every bit as much an arbitrary external cultural construct, if not more so, than it is an internally emergent ethnic one.

My parents named me Irie. I had it changed to Irisviel because Irie was the shorthand for Irisviel in an anime I watched

And heck I actually did end up changing my name too. I named myself after an anime character I liked.

My kid naming game is strong. I wanted to throw a nod to one of my old Aunties, but I didn't want to use her actual name. I named the kid in such a way that if you pronounce her initials phonetically, you get my auntie's name. Wicked.

You'd think at this point in her career Whoopi would know not to touch the third rail but... maybe she just doesn't care anymore?

It's funny that this controversy springs up right after Rogan and Peterson catch heat (and rightfully so) for joking about how black people aren't actually black.

Even if you agree with the statement that Jewish people aren't a race, it doesn't actually matter because to anti-semites they -are- a race. Just like, you can understand that black don't have black skin color, but that isn't going to stop a racist cop from killing black people.

We can know that the Nazis lied and the KKK made up elaborate fantasies about Aryan racial purity all day and we can fundamentally understand that the phenotypical differences between an ethnic Jew and German in the 1920s are essentially zero but if Alex Jones is telling white people that the Jewish race is controlling their minds it doesn't fucking matter does it?

My kid naming game is strong. I wanted to throw a nod to one of my old Aunties, but I didn't want to use her actual name. I named the kid in such a way that if you pronounce her initials phonetically, you get my auntie's name. Wicked.

That's pretty fucking clever.

"So what would the charges be Carl? We need to close this Neurenberg case before more of them kill themselves, Albert Speer designs an escape tunnel or they all get jobs in the US government"

"Well, you see Norman normally we would charge these folks on war crimes and racism and so on right?"

"Yeah, I mean we have over I believe 80 000 hours of radio broadcasts and millions of documents dedicated to destroying the jewish race and the struggle of races and so on. They have archived the races and ethniticy of nearly everyone they killed and even took pictures. The number of eye witnesses is in the millions."

"Right... but what if they were lying and it wasn't about race at all. What if they made all of this up to throw us off the scent of what it was actually about?"

"That would ruin our whole case Carl, wait didn't most of this evidence come from the Russians?"

"That's right... and those Russian Nazi's can't be trusted either so how about tax fraud or jay walking, that's how we got Al Capone right?"

It's just her stage name, her real name is Caryn Elaine Johnson.

About her stage surname, she claimed in 2011, "My mother did not name me Whoopi, but Goldberg is my name—it's part of my family, part of my heritage, just like being black", and "I just know I am Jewish. I practice nothing. I don't go to temple, but I do remember the holidays."[16] She has stated that "people would say 'Come on, are you Jewish?' And I always say 'Would you ask me that if I was white? I bet not.'"[16] One account recalls that her mother, Emma Johnson, thought the family's original surname was "not Jewish enough" for her daughter to become a star.[16] Researcher Henry Louis Gates Jr. found that all of Goldberg's traceable ancestors were African Americans, that she had no known German or Jewish ancestry, and that none of her ancestors were named Goldberg.[12
