Quote from: Astro
Trailer is fantastic, it's such a shame that one of the major characters seems to agree with a lot of stuff including overt transphobia. It's going to be a bit of a blight on this while watching it.

Whatever though, the rest looks so good that I'll try to put that aside.

Weird how the main star of a movie being openly anti-vax and transphobic is something that can be overlooked while every Cyberpunk thread got derailed because some social media guy made some fairly harmless jokes.

Speaking of black panther:

If this game somehow comes with a character creator the meltdowns will be glorious if this thread is some indication.

They’re gonna have a character creator and make this into colonizing: the video game, aren’t they?

Oh yeah bitch?  Wakandans, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears:  the character creator gonna see some SHIT soon, baby.  CAUCASIAN ASS WAKANDANS COMIN RIGHT UP.


SERVED FRESH.  FROM MY PS5. 


If this were possible, and I had an Era account, I would casually slip in "This is my character.  This game is pretty cool!  Wakanda is such an awesome place, my character fits right in!" without mentioning anything else, just to see the thread ignite.

Doesn't Asgard pretty much amount to a floating island in the MCU? No idea what it's like in the comics but hardly a whole world.

First of all, glad this is before NOPE, because when I want to indulge in positive Black entertainment as escapism, I definitely want to be bombarded with reminders of whites lynching my people. Second, good choice to center this on Mamie because there is no way the already-infinitesimal chances of my watching this would've been higher had they focused it primarily on Emmett and his experience that night. Third, who is this for, really? Black people already know the story and trauma porn is tired, and whites are also invested in not being reminded of shit like this because it hurts their feelings. So like, where do we go from here with this film?

Feels like it needs to be stated weekly, but Nep is an idiot.

You're kidding yourself if you think there aren't tons of black folks who have very little to no knowledge of Emmett Till. If you actually have experience with people IRL, you'd know that many are ignorant to many things and history in general, for whatever reasons.

There isn't a major film yet for Till as far as I know. More will learn his story, or gain a better understanding of it. Especially kids, who get things ingrained in their minds through movies.

They should call the film "Sins of the Father".  And instead of it being about Elon Musk, Shinzo Abe, colonialism or whatever...it should take time to explore the man behind the man!  That would be bussin and awesomesauc...oh...oh god....oh dear god.

You know...

Quote from: Neopetswashackedth
Quote
Ok, what are you doing about capitalism that's been so much more effective than lowering your own standards of living that bringing up the latter is laughable to you? Let's hear it.
This question, ignoring its aggression, belies the point. There's nothing I on my own can do to fix the world (and you know this; short of me being a superhero killing oil moguls you were mentally primed to criticize the anti-capitalist actions, such as unionizing and volunteering for a mutual aid organization, I am taking). There's nothing you can do alone either. But we can, as a collective mass, come together to start organizing our communities in anti-capitalist ways. That is the point.

Quote
And cutting back on consumption is not part of this effort?
Cutting back on personal consumption is good for your personal, individual impact on the environment. Simultaneously, it's not going to stop the Congo from allowing their forests to be destroyed.

I am not telling people to stop cutting back on personal consumption. I'm telling people to stop thinking that cutting back on personal consumption will definitely save the world.

Quote
Who said it would? In an earlier post I provided examples in support of the argument that as citizens of the west, our individual contributions to global warming are orders of magnitude higher than that of a person living in Congo. If you want to talk about the negative climate impact of lifting a country out of abject poverty you better be able to justify the impact of your own standard of living.
There were people who were complaining that the Congo's decision was undermining their efforts. They feel as if everything they were personally doing was useless. Those were the people I was talking to. If you're aware that this isn't the case, and if this doesn't apply to you, we don't actually have beef.

As the other poster said, it seems more like you feel personally slighted that you're not being congratulated for your downscaled lifestyle. Like, okay? I imagine there's places in my life that I whip you in terms of carbon impact. For example, I work from home most of the time, so my carbon output in terms of vehicle usage is less than yours by default despite your efforts to carpool and use public transportation.

But who gives a fuck about that when Shell and BP are about to rape the Congolese forests????

Quote
Totally anecdotal I know, but most of the people at my organization, and others I've talked to who are anti-capitalist and witnessed their consumption habits, eat meat and buy carbon heavy electronics.
OK so I get that you were saying "people who think limiting personal consumption is enough, are part of the problem"... but I guess for me personally, I'm not seeing that.. my truly hardcore environmentalist friends are also anti-fascist / anti-capitalist.

But that statement you just made sure is interesting. Your anti-capitalist friends all ignore limiting personal consumption as it pertains to the environment?

I can't help but not feel particularly positive about that. Limiting personal consumption IS a group effort as it's meant to be a loosely coupled collective of people all doing their part to collectively make a difference, and it does have an impact. Not doing it makes you part of the problem. It's not like you can't do both things, be anti-capitalist and stop eating red meat.

I mean we've literally lowered the volume of beef sales in the US recently.. instead of ever-expanding it as before. How is that not something a collective of people have accomplished that can make a real difference?

Well, as I said, it's anecdotal. My sociopolitical circles range from people who at least fundamentally believe in anti-capitalist or are so jaded with capitalism they're just against it out of spite, to people who are higher up in the organizations I work for and have dedicated their lives and organizations to divestment out of the colonial systems that govern us all. Across this gamut, these folks have video game consoles. They all have decent phones. They have gas-powered cars, or even trucks and vans. They eat meat. Hell, the organization I work for distributes meat to the poor as part of their work, because poor people like eating beef and chicken too!

I suppose the better way to put it is that one's commitment to anti-capitalism is not always entirely reflected by their personal consumption habits, and these discrepencies can be for a whole host of reasons indicative of any person's living situation or personal inclinations. And we can get into the weeds of whether these hypocrisies are something to be concerned about and condemned, but the point that I mean to reflect is that, again, reducing personal consumption within your own individual bubble is good in that it, well, is a reduction. Like, don't stop doing that. However, I don't believe that it's a surefire ticket out of the fact that our planet is still burning to death, and that confronting this reality should not cause people to get defensive, indignant, or nihilistic. Individual choice is not the same as systemic change and never has been.

We can't fight capitalism with capitalism. "Voting with your wallet" is only as good as the environment in which your vote is cast. If the tides of the world change and suddenly we all need gas to not die in the short term, like what happened with the Ukranian War, you personally going out to buy a fully electric car is not going to offset that tide. What is going to offset the tide is making sure that we don't need gas, or that gas is so unprofitable that it's just not worth pursuing. At that point, I imagine you or someone else will ask "Well, how the fuck are we gonna do that?" And I would say it's good that you're asking. These are the questions we should be asking, because the more brain power and physical energy we invest into actually attacking the systems means we have increased the speed at which we get our shit together and maybe, just maybe, avert the worst scenarios that scientists are predicting.

Soooooooooooooo  you're doing fucking nothing



I also question the maths on "I work from home in a fully connected airconned texan house" being less CO2 emissions than public transport dividing a trip across 10-50 people

So until we start attacking this status quo, until we ultimately start divesting from from these intertwined systems of capitalism, white supremacy, and colonialism, until we start working with the Global South to not only give them a tomorrow, but an actual fucking today, people are still going to be on the Internet in 50 years, probably clustered much more closely in whatever temperate areas are left, wondering how in the world an African or Latin American country they never trulycared about could make economic motions that are harming the environment, blissfully oblivious to the fact that they are simply operating in the world that has been established by global capitalism.

I wonder if she's thought for a second that very, very, few people want to dismantle capitalism.  Ok: reducing income inequality, producing an efficient tax-based healthcare system, protecting workers, climate protections, cracking down on corporate crime, etc is the goal...but completely dismantling the system?  No serious person wants this.  Why not focus on what people actually want instead of what you want, ya selfish dumb-dumb?

it's "defund the police" again

problem with thing? destroy whole thing! problem gone!

but you poll minorities living in actual impoverished areas of cities and they all say they want increased police presence

because this is what happens when you do the opposite

Quote
An August Reuters report found that many cities across the U.S. that cut police budgets in response to calls for sweeping police reform in 2020 have reversed course this year.

The quick reversals — in some cases, involving unprecedented spikes in police budgets — have mostly been in response to a rise in crime. They underscore the precarity of the "defund the police” slogan; in light of concerns among Democrats that increased police presence is needed to control both crime and perceptions that crime is being taken seriously, slashing police budgets has fallen out of fashion in many places that pursued it or took interest in it.

So does this mean that the defund the police initiatives have already collapsed, a mere year after the slogan exploded in the national consciousness? It’s a question that’s not easy to answer.

True story...yesterday, my 9 year old asked me why we have money. She said it would be be better if we got rid of it and just traded the things we make. 

Took me about 5 minutes to convince her that money is actually a good solution to the problem. This was after she decided that the government should run everything and make people to work harder if there are shortages of things that people need (yes, she would be a Stalin-like ruler if given the chance).

Why is Neopethe who is 30+ years old unable to see common sense like my 9 year old child?

the other day people were posting memes about how we have to destroy capitalism and I replied that it's kind of done a lot of good for the average person? and should be self-evident to anyone who literally looks around the room they're in?

and they said well the presence of good things we attribute to capitalism doesn't prove that other systems could not have provided those same things, and "an exchange of privately-owned goods for personal profit" isn't really capitalism anyway, no, capitalism is defined by a small billionaire class that owns the means of production

but I can't find this in any definitions, only mentioned in passing as being part of some forms of capitalism, far from a defining aspect

capitalism
/ˈkapɪt(ə)lɪz(ə)m/
noun
an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.

 :what

Kind of reminds me of Resetera and how it was run for profit by a private owner to the tune of $4+ million and was then sold to other private owners who have pumped the advertising up to crazy levels.

I wonder if Neopethe would be interested in dismantling that capitalism first?

I know this is unrelated but since Smash was mentioned, it will never cease to amaze me SNK managed to sexualize and objectified Mai more and more through the years to the point that she simply couldn't appear in Smash because of the Japanese rating bored. That should have been an embarrassment for SNK that they screwed over their own leading lady like that yet it seemed like it just turned into a joke.

They all love those memes that are like "centrism: where you only kill half the minorities" or whatever but if you object to how they seem to want communism they get all indigent like "no, not slave labor and mass graves, just, you know, nobody having any rights."

tbh I don't like the term centrism anyway, it's the same bad marketing in the name that poisons every other major movement in recent years, because it does invoke a mental image of someone who stands exactly in the center of every issue like a jackass

It can be true that people who call themselves centrists are idiots inherently because they're trying to define their central position on a spectrum without defining the ends, I've known of this type and they used to be more prominent in the media back in the early 2000s, but I rarely see that being the usage of it now from the "left" ala ResetERA.com, instead there it's always an attack on anyone who isn't posturing as far to the left as possible. Rarely are they attacking the first kind of "centrist" instead they're generally attacking someone less to the left of themselves who only considers themselves "centrist" because they're seeped in an absurd culture marching forever to the left by saying things like "Bernie Sanders would be a centrist or center-right in Europe" or defining literally any position but the furthest left as a "far-right" position even when it's held by 90% of the population or more.

I'm a centrist in that, I think capitalism is an insidious system of exploitation but will mourn the loss of black wall street as a lost opportunity for bringing wealth to the community.  Yeah, a wealth of shit!  ...but sometimes shit can be good.  Yeah, good for nothin!!

Are you saying that 90% of people are white or white-adjacent?

Or are you saying that storming the Capitol isn't justified when Nintendo produces a male fantasy in the same year Roe has been overturned?

I'm so over the black trauma genre, Jordan Peele is the only one consistently not delivering that (and the MCU to a lesser extent I guess) trash to audiences and he's rewarded for it.

Has Fat Princess ever come up in this thread? I wonder how the people in here feel about it.
Quote
Fat Princess is one of my first memory of an online social justice ‘flame war’ of sorts . In general I really don’t think I have ever veered anywhere close to fat shaming anyone in my life, but I remember thinking then that the game seemed tender / not very mocking with the topic.

But then I read this blogpost that made the rounds then:
http://www.shakesville.com/2008/07/i-write-letters.html?m=1

Gamers reaction was expectedly very toxic.

(Interestingly James Stephanie Sterling wrote a really mean-spirited and weirdly ‘you-can’t-laugh-about-anything-anymore’-toned article about her blogpost
https://www.destructoid.com/feminists-sht-all-over-fat-princess-real-people-laugh/

Unless it’s a different Sterling somehow?)

I can’t say I can imagine what the release of the game felt like for plus-sized people. But it did seem to have hurt - so it probably shouldn’t have been released.
Quote
I believe that is the same Sterling. They've changed several of their opinions over the years and would possibly not agree with the spirit of that article at this point in their life.

Sterling goes as they/them, and yeah that's probably them that wrote this, but this article is 14 years old and Sterling really changed their views on various social justice topics, so I wouldn't really put this article as representative of their current views at all.

That article was written 14 years and they have since changed their opinions.

Hell, they were doing jimquisitions on sexist gamers even before Gamergate.

Uh, pretty sure that people, especially whites, don't change their bigoted views, why are we giving Sterling a pass for being a far-right Nazi? (Especially since they've never been recanted, apologized for and whatever else that list of requirements Nepenthe made for forgiveness was.)

Although, if you're delivering "sermons" about faith, hope and charity while wearing $1 million in jewellery, then you're not really the real victim, are you?

I mean, it looks to me like an insurance job by a swindler. We’re allowed to say that because we’re not dogmatic ree posters.
