Also, "Dave Chapelle Campaigns Against Affordable Housing" is 100% a lie.

It should read "Dave Chapelle Campaigns Against Planned Rezoning for Development Company".

Anyone reasonable would look at this and assume that there is probably more to this than just Chapelle turning on poor people. Whether you agree with these reasons is then of course up to debate but the reality is that no one wants to have that debate.
Like who really cares about residential zoning in some random Ohio small town in the middle of nowhere. What is much easier and a lot more fun is to just scream at Chapelle.

In the Era thread you can even see someone ask for the reasoning against the project, because the article is regionlocked, and people just respond with "because they're racist" without anyone looking at or quoting the article

I always get bummed out when I see Slayven try to have a bit of a cheeky laugh. It’s like watching someone in a coma twitch.

Sorry Slay, you’re surrounded by misery in human form, and you will be constantly reminded. There’s no way that thread doesn’t end up locked or full of pompous shits.


Memories...back when you can have a fun advertisement that does not stir up controversy and/or hurt people's feelings.

Great ban. Just make "Representation Concerns" say "Uninformed Representation Concerns" since it has been shown that the concerns are unfounded and the "journalist" didn't do his due diligence.

Got another one:
User Banned (1 Month): Dismissive Commentary over Representation Concerns; Prior Bans for Similar Behaviour

I have to admit, I don't think the article in OP does a good job of providing examples as to why the game is soulless.

I understand the occasional off translation sucks, but, the examples of "no money, no goods" or use of the word "Sifu" aren't enough to convince me of any malice. It then, by design or not, leads many to believe the all-white studio had zero Chinese consultants on the issue. But, the Verge article details that they did, and those consultants also worked on the localization, cultural elements, and, to top it off, it's been well-received in China.

Genuinely willing to be further educated here, but, I feel like I'm reading two pretty different stories about the development of the game, and only one of them is based on conjecture, with no good examples other than it's made by a white team.

The whole problem of the game seem to have boiled down to a couple of translation issues, some of which people who speak Chinese can't even quite agree on. And despite all that Sifu will now go down as "that racist game"

Too many people want to frame everything as a grand debate about some universal policy that should be imposed. Normally, this is fine because that's all anyone is actually talking about or discussing at a relatively high level and it's probably more entertaining and can be thoughtful and also help to establish the contours of a debate, but when it comes to cases like this there are local specifics irrelevant to overarching policy and everything cuts across cleavages in those specifics. The Chappelle's, or anyone, can oppose a specific decision on specific grounds and reading a broader ideological motive about broader policy into that decision making is not the "gotcha" you think it is nor does it prove what you want it to prove about "true intentions" or bad faith.

This is a subtweet.

It just how woke 'thinking' goes in some of the stupider people in the movement, and if its a non white or non straight person making the claim it gets taken as gospel because a lot of the woke types can't be bothered to form opinions for themselves anyway (or are scared to do so) :maduro

I remember when feminism started popping off with basic bitches on twitter about 10 years ago and you'd end up with some strange and sometimes oddly bigoted takes being spouted :lol

Trumper/gater bigots does seem like the most obvious answer to me though:
During the Red Scare of the 1950s, Yellow Springs and Antioch College came under scrutiny for alleged sympathies of faculty and students to the Communist Party, due to many locals' support of left-wing politics.[12] After being questioned by the Ohio House Un-American Activities Committee, Antioch president Douglas McGregor released a statement in 1952 that "Antioch upholds the American tradition of academic freedom. This means the right to hear and investigate all sides of any question, including the question of Russia and Communism".[12]

By the late 1960s and early '70s, the village became a center of activity for the Civil Rights Movement and anti-war movement in southwestern Ohio. Villagers have retained a progressive cast in their politics, attracting new residents with similar ideas and establishing a unique sociopolitical demographic element in a primarily conservative region of the state.[6][13]

In 1979, Yellow Springs held the distinction of being the smallest municipality to pass an ordinance prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation.[14][15] As of 2014, it had the largest LGBT population of all Ohio's villages.[16]
In the 1960s and 1970s, the college continued to develop its reputation as a source of activism and progressive political thought. In 1965, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave the commencement speech.
...
In many instances, the culture of the school spurred its students to activism. Eleanor Holmes Norton, future congressional delegate for Washington, D.C., recalled her time at Antioch as one "when the first real action that could be called movement action was ignited."[46]

In the 1960s, Antioch recruited poor and minority students through its New Directions scholarship program to improve educational opportunities for minorities. In the late 60s, as the administration added satellite centers across the country, the college adopted an academic program in Yellow Springs that gave students unprecedented independence in choosing their coursework. Then it doubled enrollment: Antioch had 2,470 students in 1972.[47]
...
Sexual Offense Prevention Policy (SOPP)
A "Sexual Offense Prevention Policy" was initiated after two date rapes reportedly occurred on the Antioch College campus during the 1990–91 academic year.

In 1991 a group of students formed under the name "Womyn of Antioch" to address their concern that sexual offenses in general were not being taken seriously enough by the administration or some in the campus community.[54] A "Sexual Offense Prevention Policy," was created during a couple of late-night meetings in the campus Womyn's Center, as the Antioch College website commented "this original policy was questionable. It was not legally binding, no rights were given to the accused, and it called for immediate expulsion of the accused with no formal process."[54] The policy was presented when the Womyn of Antioch stormed a community meeting a few days later.[54]

In 1991-92 the college employed a part-time advocate, as the start of the Sexual Offenses Prevention and Survivors’ Advocacy Program (SOP/SAP), who developed with the aid of the community the Antioch Sexual Offense Prevention Policy. Thus Antioch College became the first in America to mandate ongoing verbal affirmation during sexual encounters.[55] Under this policy, consent for sexual behavior must be "(a) verbal, (b) mutual, and (c) reiterated for every new level of sexual behavior."[56]

This policy was the subject of media satire, such as a parody sketch in 1993 on Saturday Night Live titled "Is It Date Rape?" Some media outlets voiced support for the policy. For example, syndicated columnist Ellen Goodman asserted that most "sexual policy makers write like lawyers in love," and that, likewise, "at Antioch the authors could use some poetry, and passion." But she was ultimately sympathetic to their goals of leveling the sexual playing field and making students think about what consent means, saying that the Antioch campus "has the plot line just about right."[57]

By 2015, similar affirmative consent standards were adopted by colleges across the nation, including every Ivy League university except Harvard, as well as by state legislatures including California, Michigan, and New York.[55]

The 21st century

In 2000, Antioch College was again subject to media attention after inviting political activist and former death row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal and transgender rights advocate and Abu-Jamal supporter Leslie Feinberg to be commencement speakers. Graduating students had chosen Abu-Jamal and Feinberg to highlight their concerns with capital punishment and the American criminal justice system. Many conservative commentators criticized the Antioch administration for allowing students to choose such controversial commencement speakers and the college administration received death threats. Antioch President Bob Devine chose not to overturn the students' choice of speakers, citing the ideals of free speech and free exchange of ideas, and likened the media reaction to the coverage of Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1965 commencement address.[58]

The worst part about all of this is that I spent 30 minutes (really not enough) doing research on the issue before coming to any conclusion and these dopes are going to go off after 2 seconds of reading an ERA thread title repeating "Dave Chapelle hates affordable housing and poor people" regardless. I always waste my time actually looking into things and coming to informed conclusions while these assholes get to form like, 30 different opinions a minute.

They've outsourced their critical thinking and now they have weaponized the sheer volume of opinions they hold by pummeling anyone who questions the doctrine with incorrect statement after incorrect statement.

Poor unassuming new ERA member: "That new Chapelle skit was funny"

Everyone else: "Oh you mean the Chapelle who is transphobic [he's not] and hate poor people [he doesn't] and fights against affordable housing development [he doesn't] and etc. etc. etc."

Poor unassuming new ERA member: "pls I haff family"

What problem?

The whole thing is staved on the uninformed opinion of a dude that ain't Chinese but Singaporean.

There's literally 2 people on the SloClap team that are of Chinese descent and even then they still went the extra mile to get consultants outside the company to help them out.

The only one in the wrong here is the Singaporean writer. He should apologize to the company for his awful clickbait garbage.

Quote
Hammer’s presence might be the most troubling hurdle facing the film. Last January, he was forced to respond to unverified claims of abuse from multiple women, who alleged the actor discussed slave fantasies, cannibalism fantasies, blood-sucking, and mutilation. Powerhouse attorney Gloria Allred began representing one of Hammer’s accusers, Effie, last year. Effie claims to have been in a relationship with Hammer for four years and said that during one terrifying encounter, “I thought that he was going to kill me… I was completely in shock, and I couldn’t believe that someone I loved did that to me.”

Both Hammer and his lawyer, Andrew Brettler, have denied the rape and abuse allegations against him, which the actor has called “bullshit claims.”

:beetlejuice

Quote
Hammer reportedly completed a months-long stint in rehab in December. He has been recast in several productions since the cannibal allegations broke, including Shotgun Wedding, The Offer, and Next Goal Wins. Disney, which first pushed back the release date for Death on the Nile in November 2020 due to the pandemic, reportedly considered recasting Hammer’s role or digitally editing him out. Ultimately, however, THR reports that the studio decided such a maneuver would not be feasible due to the size of the ensemble cast and the ongoing pandemic. A trailer released last winter seemed like an attempt to downplay Hammer’s appearance, but he remains a crucial and constant presence in the film itself.

Yeah. He was one of a kind. But he didn’t really coddle people in power regardless of politics, and I myself would never tell you what he would do or say, but I know he wouldn’t have become part of the “canceled” crowd like people here say, he was on the right side of a lot of issues long before the mainstream, but he would still make jokes if you did something stupid or deserved it.

I get the aversion to Letitia Wright (anti-vaxxer), Russell Brand (general fuckwit) and Gal Gadot (person who believes in the development and protection of a Jewish nation)

RustyNails was perm before for stanning ISIS.  I'm surprised they removed it. I bet Morrigan was fuming when the ban was lifted.

RustyNails is one of our best and most vital posters for years, since the old place.

Funny how Messo has knows every problematic detail about Joe Rogan but then forgets how this guy downplayed isis

That being said...I wouldn't call someone "worse than ISIS".

They were skinning people alive.
I don't know where you got that from. I have not heard of any instances where ISIS were flaying people or if it were their general policy. They were brutal and ruthless but they generally followed some medieval principles of war.

There are also some specific examples in US military and private contractors who you can Def say were "worse than ISIS". The raping, and the war criminal types

This right here. Ban needs to be undone ASAP. These serious political threads can't expected to have any real discourse if no one wants to participate for fear of catching a ban.

It is absolutely why I avoid these sorts of threads almost 99.9% of the time now.

It's not that I don't have anything to contribute; it's that I'm afraid to contribute. Not sure that's the culture we want to have here, but for some thread types it absolutely is. I'd rather enjoy the forum and my mental health, so I almost never even click on serious threads anymore.
