I'm a POC

This acronym does not unify you with Black issues or give you the right to overstep your bounds.

We really need to stop it with "as a PoC myself.." as an excuse to talk down to Black people on the shit they live every day. No, you do not relate or have ANY idea what it is like to be hated by the entire world.

Need to enforce that rigid ranking in the Oppression Olympics!!!!

The Shaun vid about Harry Potter really shone a light on how JK Terfling is ok with whatever insult to dish on the "bad" side while even the most minor criticism to the "good" side is never legitimate.

Her general hypocrisy is even in her books!

Doing the exact thing you’re bitching about in your post

Have they ever explained how they never saw any of this extremely obvious transphobic content in the Harry Potter books prior to JK Misandrist revealing herself as a literal trans murderer, but now they do?

The confluence of art and artist is always a bit questionable.

I read people trying to reevaluate Mel Gibson's directed movies through his publicly known personal politics. As much is said about Passion of the Christ, it's stretched with Bravehart, and hits a wall with Apocalypto. His WWII movie has a moment where a guy picks up of a torso and uses it as a shield while one handing a machine gun. That's a metaphor, I think.

There's been a lot about Lovecraft, too. His work is just too influential. People gave up and deny he ever owned a cat.

I thought people have bad perception of Snyder because he is a extremely mediocre director, this was the case way before Marvel VS DC films was a thing.

I don't believe he has any source on this and is just guessing like many other people in this thread did. The fact that this guy somehow became an "insider" that has info all over the gaming industry is very hard to believe. He probably has a source sometimes but I think plenty of times he's just guessing but pretending that it's coming from a source.

I remember him saying that Remedy was working on a PS5 exclusive and that turned out to be not true because we know the four games Remedy has in development and their publishers, and none of them are Sony. But he said that because there was smoke around Sony and Remedy and it wasn't unreasonable to assume that. I think he's doing the same thing with Sly and Pixelopus, taking something that's floating around and sounds reasonable and presenting it as if it's coming from his source.

I’ve shown a few of the admins and mods here where my info comes from

ive also publicly posted my redacted DMs frequently on Twitter

Now, the admins here can feel free to not accept that as a form of “vetting” but it at minimum shows that I don’t guess anything. Could the people sending me this stuff be complete liars and full of shit? Yep, in some cases it could be totally possible.

But I don’t “guess” or make stuff up. As someone with an Xbox podcast, it seems kinda dumb to “make up” PlayStation rumours for my Xbox podcast when I could…you know, make up or guess Xbox ones?

Really? When was this? Who did you show it to because far as we're all aware you've never shown us anything regarding sources or information. Despite multiple opportunities and us reaching out many, many times.

Don't use site staff as a sheild, you've never shown us anything even approaching verification and have refused to do so at every turn. We aren't taking responsibility for your predictions. If you're wrong, that's on you and no one else.

Don’t lie dude.

Maybe if you actually replied to DMs or took the request to a conversation in Discord I’d be able to show you specifically anything you want.

Again, I already know you won’t accept redacted Discord messages, but feel free to join me in a Discord DM and I’ll show you dozens and dozens of them.

But you and I both know you have no intention of vetting anything and you and I also both know why.

So spare me the theatrics.

Any particular reason you feel the need to be such an aggressive prick about it? Just curious. I’m just wondering how the accuracy of Grubb’s sources affects you in such a way that requires a response like this.

You know what's more hostile than being snarky? Being snarky and then banning them when they're snarky back.

I just wonder why is it usually the racism threads where the moral grandstanders pop up? It seems like an ulterior motive.

Elsewhere online it seems like the need to convince themselves it's not the same type of obsession people have with Rian Johnson or James Gunn. Both senses of it. Is the thread not from a Gunn Cultist? This vital and important war over the viewership numbers of a streaming superhero show should be defined as Gunn Cult vs Snyder Cult. Earlier this week I told someone to watch Pig. Am I part of the Sarnoski Cult? In researching his name, I see he's directing Quiet Place 3. Ew. Deprogram me out of this cult.

Better question: why is James Gunn personally arguing with kids on Twitter. At least, to my knowledge, JK Rowling is coasting off the Harry Potter residuals.

[SmokyDave]

That one made me laugh earlier. Title is 'The Snyder Cult is going absolutely mad and zerging James Gunn', first line is 'God, this behavior is so cringe....' and I'm just sitting here wondering if the OP realises they're also the same flavour of dickhead.

God, the treatment of refugees by the UK makes me so incredibly ashamed. Performative cruelty is essentially the raison d'etre of this government and its nothing new, but fucking hell.

Incredibly ashamed? Why do people need to urgently flee France?

The UK should take in as many Ukranian refugees as we can afford to support. Absolutely. We probably won't take as many as we should, I regretfully add. With that said, why must we urgently get these people inside our borders now? Why can't it wait two weeks? Are they being shot at in France? Bombed in Germany?

Why do we need to get as many people inside the UK as possible, as quickly as possible?

[Kurt Russell]

It's interesting to note that net UK migration was around 270,000 just before Covid hit. So, essentially that's the population of Cardiff every 18 months.

Until the UK manage to build a new Cardiff every 18 months, including all of the housing, public services and infrastructure that would be required to support it, why is it racist to suggest that there is a potential capacity issue?

Point:  You're racist.   Counterpoint:  Ukrainians are white, so if the UK takes in too many refugees too quickly, it will be perceived as having a preferential policy toward white refugees that you've taken in quicker than others.   TripleCounterPoint:  Do you think Eastern Europeans are less valuable than Anglos?  Take the refugees in already, you performatively cruel piece of shit.  QuadCounterPoint:   You fell into my logic trap.  You took them in too quickly and now, sadly, you're a racist bitch.

I've seen them do it several times. 1 random dude on Twitter becomes equal to some pop queen's legion of followers. In reality, they just still haven't gotten off of Zack Snyder's dick.

As a fan of Snyder's work, i'm more than happy with how ZSJL turned out and the well deserved reception it got. It was the closure the fans needed. The 'cult' mostly seems to feel the same way from what i've seen, and have largely moved on. Even that Fiona chick seems to have stopped tweeting after the release. It's done.

The funniest thing about all this to me is I guarantee none of the people defending Gunn (and I love the guy, been a fan of his since waaaay back before Marvel even sniffed him) are aware of the stuff he did prior to his Marvel films, because if they ever watched his PG Porn series, specifically the brilliantly-titled Charlie Brown episode 'Peanus', their heads would explode.  Gunn also worked with Snyder on Dawn of the Dead.  Honestly both sides of the fandom are fucking distinguished mentally-challenged, and I say this as someone who holds Snyder's DC movies in the highest regard.  No bullshit, they're my favorite CBMs of all time.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissing Concerns of Racism

This is dumb, there will be a war going on whenever the games come out. There must be a better reason than that?

But not a war where white people are suffering.

I hate to put it in those terms but explain why else this is the conflict the rest of the world really cares about the images of suffering from.

I don't understand this "white people whataboutism". This game is primarily targeted at Japanese, US and European consumers so commercially speaking a war in Europe has a much greater impact compared to conflicts in other places where a nuclear war is not in play either. Also, to diminish the suffering of people in Ukraine as "oh white people" is very dehumanising.

Shall I point to the endless videos of media saying every grotesque variation of "but this is a white country, a civilized country, wars don't happen here!" Because that parade hasn't stopped for weeks now.

I don't understand these videos clips. If a war starts in the country next door to yours of course this is going to feel like it's hitting closer to home. Which is what most of these journalists allude to. Going from that to "ah, you only care about white people suffering, you're racist" is a bit extreme IMO.

Thread has a bunch of people saying that you shouldn't do a game of cartoony war ever anyway because it's insensitive by trivializing war.

Even the mandatory anger management classes are too much.

If you're an ethnic minority, you only have two options for recourse in America when some stupid cracker steps to you. You either let them dehumanize you, with the reward being empty platitudes from spineless liberals on the internet for being so "graceful" and "forgiving" and "upstanding," assuming your case even makes it onto the Internet at all, or you take it into your own hands and risk catching a case that the racist never would, because this society is not actually set up to legally handle the amount of racial violence it levels out to ethnic minorities on the daily, and those same liberals will talk about how you need anger management or you NEED to serve legal consequences for doing what society won't.

The punishment itself is systemic racism in play. "Anger management courses", mandatory community service, and house arrest for retaliating against a regular abusive customer who went off the deep-end after being told to stop, fuck off, this is a prime example of white people needing that 100x more than a black person does.

Honestly? I don't feel like homeboy should have to suffer any legal consequences. "Anger management course." Fuck outta here. Maybe whites should leave us alone.

In every other instance It would be a huge example of white privilege that someone can cause the death of another person and just get away with anger management. Also I'd love for the old white racist to get mandatory anger management but he's kinda dead

[benjipwns]

They literally have zero idea how racist they are about Black people. Thinking they're savages who can't be expected to react in a reasonable manner, instead of promoting non-violence we should just realize that it's in their nature to be violent when someone says something they don't like. Clearly the history of the history of the word justifies an exception, for those of a certain skin color which defines their very being, to opt out of society and explore their animal side. Certain "cultures" should be allowed to pursue blood feuds over someone not washing the meat enough before cooking because otherwise the white liberals will win with their unreasonable demands for the non-violent settlement of disputes.

Yep, a lot of competitors could learn from Xbox's approach towards inclusion and diversity.

Indeed. With a whopping 62 posts in 24 hours, they could learn that vocal babblers often care more about vocally babbling, than they do acknowledging anything that their vocal babbling purports to desire.

I feel like the end state of what Nepenthe is asking for is a court case in Texas where a white guy drops an N-bomb on somebody Black, then the yt immediately shoots the Black in the face in self-defense. I dunno if this is the best path to take in defeating institutional racism; the racists aren't going to just lie back and get punched to death and will just love being able to claim a legitimate fear of physical harm.

Racism and transphobia sure are magic.

I'll stick to Ghostwire, thanks.

Edit: I should note that the former is mostly speculative, but when there isn't a single black person on the team, it doesn't bode well.

Facebook approves of ResetERA.com's moderation standards:

March 10 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms (FB.O) will allow Facebook and Instagram users in some countries to call for violence against Russians and Russian soldiers in the context of the Ukraine invasion, according to internal emails seen by Reuters on Thursday, in a temporary change to its hate speech policy.

The social media company is also temporarily allowing some posts that call for death to Russian President Vladimir Putin or Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in countries including Russia, Ukraine and Poland, according to a series of internal emails to its content moderators.

These calls for the leaders' deaths will be allowed unless they contain other targets or have two indicators of credibility, such as the location or method, one email said, in a recent change to the company's rules on violence and incitement.

Emails also showed that Meta would allow praise of the right-wing Azov battalion, which is normally prohibited, in a change first reported by The Intercept.

Kill Putin

Kill Putin in Moscow.

Kill Putin in Minecraft would also be not allowed.

I like how Russia is one of the countries that they're waiving the rule for calling for assassination of the head of state. I don't think getting banned off Facebook is your more immediate problem if you post that kind of stuff.

Shouldn't they actually be happy that in this case the system actually agreed with them? House arrest for killing someone seems like quite the win. Instead they get pissed at the idea that someone dying over literal words is maybe too much

Even the mandatory anger management classes are too much.

If you're an ethnic minority, you only have two options for recourse in America when some stupid cracker steps to you. You either let them dehumanize you, with the reward being empty platitudes from spineless liberals on the internet for being so "graceful" and "forgiving" and "upstanding," assuming your case even makes it onto the Internet at all, or you take it into your own hands and risk catching a case that the racist never would, because this society is not actually set up to legally handle the amount of racial violence it levels out to ethnic minorities on the daily, and those same liberals will talk about how you need anger management or you NEED to serve legal consequences for doing what society won't.

The punishment itself is systemic racism in play. "Anger management courses", mandatory community service, and house arrest for retaliating against a regular abusive customer who went off the deep-end after being told to stop, fuck off, this is a prime example of white people needing that 100x more than a black person does.

Honestly? I don't feel like homeboy should have to suffer any legal consequences. "Anger management course." Fuck outta here. Maybe whites should leave us alone.

Has anyone else noticed that since crackergate Neopetenthe has upped the Ebonics to absurd levels?

Poles can post agitprop with impunity

What's the options for recourse for a stupid cracker stepping to you if you're a stupid cracker?

They literally have zero idea how racist they are about Black people. Thinking they're savages who can't be expected to react in a reasonable manner, instead of promoting non-violence we should just realize that it's in their nature to be violent when someone says something they don't like. Clearly the history of the history of the word justifies an exception, for those of a certain skin color which defines their very being, to opt out of society and explore their animal side. Certain "cultures" should be allowed to pursue blood feuds over someone not washing the meat enough before cooking because otherwise the white liberals will win with their unreasonable demands for the non-violent settlement of disputes.

All leadership disputes should be settled by ritual combat to the death atop a waterfall. Fuck voting anyway.
