DISCUSSION FORUM

[Potato]

That guy with the bitch popped up in the Mackenzie Fierceton thread, and if you were wondering 'will he eventually manage to find a way to reference his mom sucking in this topic' the answer is, obviously, yes. His friends thinking his mom seems great is why he'd never downplay abuse:

As someone who never read or replied to that original thread, why are so many people in here acting like they’ve never been guilty of reacting to something before making sure that they have all the facts from a credible source? Is it really necessary to personally call people out for their reactions, acting like the initial thread is filled with people who tipped off the scholarship committee? That is seriously how people are acting in here. A bit ridiculous and it totally takes away from what everyone can learn from the original thread and this one. Get a grip.

The initial thread contained information that showed that the victim was in fact abused (and even hospitalized!), and that she did go into the foster system.  That information was disregarded and/or downplayed in favor of dogpiling on her.   That is unacceptable and deserves to be called out.

Both you and I know that people tend to not read entire articles and just react to headlines and whatever commentary is offered along with the headline. I am sure that you are guilty of reacting to something without making sure that all the facts from credible sources have been included. It is a very common mistake. The posters did not directly attack her or directly tip off the scholarship company.

Is it annoying/disappointing typical human behavior? Sure.

But to say that it’s “unacceptable,” personally calling out individual posters and tagging them, etc.: quite frankly, get a grip. Literally every single person on Earth is guilty of reacting to something too quickly.

This is a vague and exaggerrated whataboutism based on nothing. Nobody here is saying they are perfect consumers of the internet and nobody is saying anyone in that thread was on the scholarship committee. There are posts in that thread that accuse her of lying not only about her socioeconomic status, but also about physical abuse. It landed her in the hospital and I think it's pretty shameful for you to minimize baselessly accusing victims of lying about abuse to a "bad take" or whatever. Not all poor reactions to incomplete information are the same (which is why we have TOS and moderation in the first place), and some types of stories demand a greater level of vigilance than what was employed here.

It was whataboutism, but “vague and exaggerated,” and “based on nothing”? Lol. It’s not exaggerated at all. Everyone is guilty of reacting before having all the facts from a credible source. Period.

Again: a lot of people don’t click and read full articles.

A lot of people just saw the headline and the blurb about her actually having a horse and going on vacations.

With how it was framed, it’s very easy to forget to do your due diligence. Read the quick blurb in the OP, react by saying “oh what a lying scamming POS,” and go about your day.

My point is that the level of vitriol being spewed towards posters that made the mistake of not making sure that the thread/article they’re reacting to has all the facts straight, is absolutely ridiculous.

I can assure you, not everyone is guilty of doing that. It's one of my major issues with this site.

I’m just talking about generally. I see it happening CONSTANTLY on Twitter, for instance. Also: I don’t mean that everyone still currently reacts too quickly, just that they’ve all done it before. Yes, it’s whataboutism. But I’m basically just saying that the vitriol in this thread is too much. No that does not mean I’m secretly siding with the mother or the school or person who tipped them off, no that doesn’t mean I’ve had a history of not believing abuse. I’ve made like 483828 threads about my own mom on here. I’ve had friends be like “omg she seems great what are you complaining about?”

They keep responding to him and now he's come around to basically Slayven needs to apologize:

The OP of the original thread is the one that I actually think actually needs to apologize. They created the thread and spread that information and framed it in that manner, which was irresponsible of them. I don’t think they even read the full article before posting, since I do agree that whoever gets to the last portion of the article should have alarm bells ringing.

Honestly I was mostly surprised at how long it took him to invoke his mom in the discussion.

When that dude sounds like the sane voice of reason, you just know you're in a place full of very strange people.

And it's like...yeah. Jada is open about her hair loss. She's talked about it at length. But there's still a whole SPECTRUM of barriers of acceptability that Chris barreled through to rag on her about it in front of millions of people without even pitching the joke to her first to see if she would be OK with it.

That said, since this has been going on for 25 years, I'm sure he had no intention of ever clearing the joke with her first.

I'm late with this shit but JPS was talking about how she didnt care what people of her bald head days before the oscar ..

All this shit has just shined line on how much of a weirdo Will Smith is. People went on a deep dive on his biography and holy shit at some of the stuff, Will has violence issues and is a fucking weirdo.

-After coming back from that first tour, Will suspected his girlfriend Melanie had cheated on him while he was away. He confronted her and "she didn't deny it." Will was so mad he picked up a fireplace poker and smashed all the windows in her house. He then went home and sobbed in his mom's arms, crying, "Mommy, why did God let this happen?" Note he was a 20 year old Grammy winning rap star at this point. Will, the writer, thinks all this is funny in retrospect.

One evening Will was hanging out with his friends when his girlfriend Melanie came downstairs all dressed up. Will asked her where she was going and she said she was going out with her friends. Will "felt disrespected in front of his friends" so he gathered all of Melanie's belongings on the front lawn and doused them with gasoline. He waited until she returned later that night and then set her stuff on fire in front of her.

-As revenge, Will went out and banged any chick he could find, so much so that he started to have a "psychosomatic reaction" where he vomited when he orgasmed. Note this promiscuous period only lasted about 15 days before he got back together with Melanie.

-While still married to Sheree, Will went on a date with Jada Pinkett when Sherree was visiting her parents out of town with the baby. Will and Jada "talked all night." When his wife returned, Will vowed to himself to make it work with Sherree. He thought Jada was the woman of his dreams but he had made a vow to Sheree and Will can never break his promises!

-But about a page later, Will claims they got divorced because Sheree "gave up." The breaking point was some argument over Sheree paying for a haircut. Will told Sheree, "Maybe one day you'll actually be worth something." The ladies rip on him for a good bit and note how smart Sheree seems and how psychotic Will sounds. Will hates quitters so clearly holds some resentment for Sheree. However, days after being served his divorced papers WIll moved Jada in, so he can't have been that distraught.

-But wait! When signing the papers, Sheree and WIll discussed giving their marriage another shot. Will called Jada and told her that he was going back to his wife for the sake of their son. Jada said, Okay. For some reason Will was moved by that response? And instead said no nevermind, and divorced Sherree.

[nobody of note]

It's interesting to compare and contrast Nepenthe's staff post about how Era HAD to be dumb to take what should be a silly little goof and turn it into some giant social justice issue so now nobody can talk about it with the current pivot to, basically, Chris Rock's joke was just another salvo in his quarter-century old war against Black women in general and Jada in specific.

You're no longer allowed to talk about the one-off event that happened that everyone is talking about. But you are, apparently, allowed to heavily insinuate that a prominent Black comic is basically a race traitor in threads that clearly only exist because of the event nobody's allowed to mention.

[benjipwns]

Nobody, especially not Black Twitter Voltron, would be accusing Chris Rock of anything if there wasn't fire to the smoke. The fact is Black Twitter knew about this since the early 1980's and Malcom X himself called it out. What Will Smith did at [EVENT REMOVED] was simply consequences for Chris Rock's long trail of unceasing abuse of Black Women. Chris Rock is literally a rapist.

Good article. I always thought Rock had a beef with them because they were scientologists (they aren't). A quick google put that rumor to rest for me yesterday.

There’s simply no doubt that the Smiths were Scientologists at one point.
...
We also have an excellent source who confirmed for us that Jada and Will were completely done with Scientology by 2015.

I wonder if that correlates with their past open marriage.

So does this mean the PS4 / 5 cannot emulate PS3 games at all or something?

Yes, this has always been the case due to that distinguished mentally-challenged Cell Processor of the PS3. It makes emulation very difficult. So that is why PS3 games had to be ported - making them compatible with new processor

Rather than wringing your hands for pages about the horrific ableism that murdered Jada Pinkett Smith maybe we should reflect how on some level making a joke about a Black woman being bald works because of how well Black women can pull it off.

Don't most black women crop their hair short anyway to make wearing wigs easier?

Most of Sonys studios are also running 2/3 projects at a time and they also partner and get a ton of exclusives alongside their first party. If you think Xbox already has Sony beat because of their acquisitions, you're far from reality. Sony still dominates many regions of the world where Xbox is non-existent. Sony still has the overall lead in most places that Xbox is most competitive in. Sony isn't slowing down either. If Sony would've pulled a PS3 or an Xbox One launch, then I would agree with you… but right now Sony is still carrying massive momentum from PS4 and they still have that mindshare. Xbox is fighting an uphill fight that we won't see the results of until many years down the road. For now let's just be happy there's solid competition in the gaming space and that's better for everybody.

The only market that Xbox does not enter is Japan. It is also controlled by Nintendo, not Playstation.
Xbox is displacing Sony from historical markets such as Latin America. In Brazil, Xbox series sells three times more than PS5.
And Activision's strong and popular franchises haven't been added yet.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Platform Warring; History of the Same

The whole loss leader, loss before profit etc definitely wasn’t invented by Netflix. It’s not a question of could Sony do it, but should they do it. Netflix didn’t have an alternative business model that really worked at the time to choose from.

Of course Sony could afford it in a sense, but it would most likely mean external financing. Netflix (whose biggest shareholder is the massive Vanguard Group) had a debt (excluding leases) of whopping 16B in 2020. Sony as a whole of course has way larger debt already, but it’s not about that imo. They can’t afford this in a sense right now because they’d be possibly abandoning a much more profitable business model.

Of course Sony will follow suit fast if subscription model really takes off and starts to become the default, but we are enormously far from it still and the whole thing is far from certain. If Sony wanted, they can quite easily change the approach and have more subscribers than GP has to their own subscription service in a relatively short time. PS+ already has like 50mil subscribers.

Sony doesn’t do it because its userbase does not demand it. They do this middle ground update to its service because they'll certainly get more money out of 50 mil PS+ users without offering what the competition does.

This is what we get when the market leader is not pressured to change. And we get people defending a less pro consumer business model because they are afraid to lose "the quality" of the games when in reality, Xbox is getting awards and the biggest releases launching directly into gamepass while Apple TV+ wins an oscar for best movie.

The games won't be worse, MS is making better games than most.

Presented without comment -

So if you *really* want to get into Souls games, and in particular Elden Ring, which can easily eat up over 100 hours of your life, I think you can spend like 2 minutes here and there looking up the stuff you don't understand or asking the community on a forum instead of drawing a line in the sand about what you will or won't do when engaging with a video game.

The information is out there and well-curated. People are more than happy to tell you all about what you should do in these games and how everything works. The thing you don't like about the games seems easily overcome, is my point. It's actually within your control unlike so many game design choices devs make.

It’s bad game design to force a player to use external sources to learn the game. I don’t want to participate in a social experiment. I want to dive into a game world and find it less openly hostile than high school was. Replies like yours make me feel that perhaps we had different experiences with hazing and pranks.

I’m forty-seven.

RE’s take on this is so batshit insane. Literally the entirety of their argument falls apart when you consider Jada said she doesn’t give a fuck when people talk about her hair just a few months ago.

It’s so weird to see this take in leftist communities. A grown-ass black man, with a wife and kids, was humiliated in front of the whole world for doing his job. Aloepecia doesn’t make JPS disabled at all (btw she still a baddie). Would love to see how they would’ve responded if either man was white.

first one even got "they" right but probably put "he" as an honest mistake at first. still, no mercy for bigots.

From what I’ve read, Ezra adjusted their pronouns to purely “they” in recent months. Prior they’ve gone with he/they. Maybe a grace period should be given when it’s clearly not meant as an insult.

Last year there was an interview with JK Simmons. He told stories about Juno and kept referring to Elliot Page as “she” and meant no ill will by it. He’s been supportive of the transition in the past. But the interviewer was getting awkward. At a point JK Simmons stopped and said “look, when I worked on the movie, we used she. I’m trying here.” Assuming the worst intentions from everybody isn’t healthy.

User Banned (1 Month): Inflammatory Rhetoric; prior ban for similar behavior

That's where I land as well: the real world concern is not public outrage but making your demoralized enemy more reluctant to surrender... any way you slice it, that just increases the risk to your own troops.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Antagonizing Fellow Members; History of Hostility

Did you watch/read Putin's speech?

Yes, in Russian actually (it was completely deranged, ahistorical garbage of course). Unlike the armchair generals and cosplaying diplomats in here, I actually have been following Russian internal politics closely since Putin came to power.

How the fuck is that "antagonizing fellow members" but "silence, cracker" isn't 

SILENCE CRACKA!!!

In that Polygon article attacking Horizon: Forbidden West for being racist or whatever we can't ignore how they started two sentences in a row:

[Taco Bell Tower]

Will Smith did nobody any favours with his reaction - but Rock has been questionable among black people for a long time. During almost every recent historic moment he's had something kinda sus to say. Black ppl aren't a monolith, but its very obvious his bff's are very rich white comedians.

I would wager his 'distinguished black fellow vs nicca' era lost him an influential audience and he's been bitter ever since.

[Taco Bell Tower]

The most disappointing aspect of this entire situation is seeing so many OG members of the black community rally behind Rock, as if his suspect behaviour hasn’t been known to us for years.

Sadly alot of people don't respect or care about black women, or people trying to be in good standing with Chris to climb that socialite ladder.

first one even got "they" right but probably put "he" as an honest mistake at first. still, no mercy for bigots.

From what I’ve read, Ezra adjusted their pronouns to purely “they” in recent months. Prior they’ve gone with he/they. Maybe a grace period should be given when it’s clearly not meant as an insult.

This goes back to deadnaming.

era showed their ass when they were tryin to defend jenner and people referring to Bruce as "he" when talking about past events, and how transphobic it was.

Caitlyn was like "nah, I'm not erasing Bruce, you can use he when talking about the past".

era:


then they hide behind jenner killing a person.

Wow, and nobody fucking mentioned it once?  Crazy.
