:cop User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissive Commentary around Transphobia
Quote from: EQLibriM
Im sorry but wtf is with the pro-violence comments in this thread.

Yes Dave Chapelle is a piece of shit for making certain types of jokes, but the dude is not walking in some anti-transperson walk. He is doing a (unfunny) comedy skit. Dont fucking attack people period

This forum shouldnt condone violence

Insane that people are on here cosigning physical assault.

I'm not really big on Dave's comedy but then, I don't attend shows of comedians I don't like. But there is still the first amendment for Christ's sake.

And the guy was apparently armed with a deadly weapon? Let's get a fucking grip.

Not in the way you’re describing, but Cars 2 was so bad I broke up with my girlfriend in the parking lot.

You’re ex-girlfriend was responsible for the shit pile that was Cars 2? Yeah, good choice to break up with her.
Cars 2 being so bad taught me that being optimistic and hoping for the best won’t actually make me happy if I am not. Sometimes things are just bad and you can’t control that, you can only disengage. My girlfriend at the time was really cruel and would hit me. I gained the clarity I needed to understand that positive thinking was not a cure-all for a negative situation. I couldn’t fake it anymore. It was time to walk away — from Cars 2 and from my abusive relationship.

Thanks, Lightning McQueen.

Cancel culture doesn't exist.  He would just be blacklisted, harassed, and a target of the progressives but not cancelled.

Eh, I actually think RE is right on this. that character in question has been mostly a heroine for most of the Avengers published story but shitty writers have make her a angry and irrational villain in comic books and is kind of shitty that MCU is throwing that character under the buss yet again... specially since it sounds that character just had a whole TV show in which her character arc was getting over it.

That is true to an extent, but you need to realize that a character has been written as “crazy woman that misses her imaginary babies kills a lot of people” is all kinds of fucked up.

Nobody says that except embarrassing nerds. This is like comparing Kojima to Ingmar Bergman or something.

Tuomas is an okay keyboardist and a largely mediocre songwriter at best.

As for Nightwish itself: Oceanborn was good, Wishmaster was decent, the rest is forgettable, overwrought fluff.

Edit:
For the record, I don't even like Nightwish, but there is no reason to act like ZeoVGM when he's posting in any random Zack Snyder thread.
More evidence that, yes, Morrigan is indeed a complete cunt.

I don't like Nightwish either and the comment was terribly hyperbolic but fucking hell she's just a bitch.

The Scarlet Witch kinda has to be angry and irrational because her powers have become literally bisected with reality itself. Plus Wanda's never been normal, not even in the 1960's.

You mean the two guys speaking jive? Yeah, that bit doesn't age particularly well. That's the only part that jumps out in my mind, though.
This is accurate. The joke hasn't aged well because nobody knows who Barbara Billingsley is so why her being the only person on the plane to be able to speak jive is funny. (The joke also isn't funny if it's just a foreign language, it's funny because they're speaking jive.)

I don't think people understand just how frustrating this truly is. My experience last night ... my friend wasn't available until 9:30pm so I logged in and played a little bit starting around 8pm.

- Played LSS and ended up winning three matches and clearing out the event. But like why the FUCK did I have to keep playing this mode? I don't get it. I don't fucking get it. What in the absolute fuck is 343 thinking?

- Friend logged on and we did Quick Play. I had two simultaneous challenges for Quick Play (5000 score and 7500 score) and as they unlocked every match, I'm just screaming into my headset at my friend. "I JUST WANT TO FUCKING PLAY FIESTA!" He eventually conceded and was pleased as he had one challenge in Fiesta. I distinctly remember grapple hooking into the air and getting a rocket launcher double kill thinking "fuck this shit".

- Played some KOTH, which at that point was fucking pointless because I had no challenges relating to it. One the games was tied 2-2 and we took the hill back when they were a sliver away from winning. We held it down and barely won by the smallest of margins. It was extremely intense and super fun ... but fuck that shit. 50xp at the end of the match due to how many matches I've played. Fuck off. Why even bother playing? But my friend wanted to play more, so we did one last match and it was very similar to the last one. Super tense, tons of action, ton of trading kills between both teams, and my buddy and I were yell-laughing at the end due to the chaos and coming out as winners. Was absolutely awesome. But 50xp again! GAH FUCK!

So here I am with the LSS tiers completed, I'm level 11% done with the Battle Pass, and I've only got until six months to complete the rest. These oppressive challenges are going to be the end of me. I think I'm finally going to break down and just buy like 100 challenge skips in the shop so I don't have to be frustrated anymore.

User warned: inflammatory comparisons

Watched it when it was uploaded but bumping your thread for visibility.

It's Leon's (The Author) best video yet and has a hilarious Vic Bergerian bit around the end that everyone should watch.

And a little tl;dw for people on the fence for the lenght of the video would be that Anti-fascism doesn't exists in a bubble, it's action against fascism, because fascism is so pervasive that even your grandma could be a fsacist or could be buying into fascist propaganda, and anti-anti-fascism is fascist propaganda on itself. The second half touches on the rise of fascism in the last century and how pretty much history is repeating itself, capitalism will flock to fascism to control workers revolting/unionizing/gaining power.

If you cut a liberal a fascist bleeds.
Quote
Over the last few years I've gradually shifted from conceiving my actions on a basis of communism to one of anti-fascism. Maybe the outcomes are ostensibly similar, but I've found it to be a useful point of guidance.

From my friend Michel, who wrote this to introduce my friend Gilles's book a while ago:

This art of living counter to all forms of fascism, whether already present or impending, carries with it a certain number of essential principles which I would summarize as follows if I were to make this great book into a manual or guide to everyday life:
Free political action from all unitary and totalizing paranoia.
Develop action, thought, and desires by proliferation, juxtaposition, and disjunction, and not by subdivision and pyramidal hierarchization.
Withdraw allegiance from the old categories of the Negative (law, limit, castration, lack, lacuna), which Western thought has so long held sacred as a form of power and access to reality. Prefer what is positive and multiple, difference over uniformity, flows over unities, mobile arrangements over systems. Believe that what is productive is not sedentary but nomadic.
Do not think that one has to be sad in order to be militant, even though the thing one is fighting is abominable. It is the connection of desire to reality (and not its retreat into the forms of representation) that possesses revolutionary force.
Do not use thought to ground a political practice of Truth; nor political action to discredit, as mere speculation, a line of thought. Use political practice as an intensifier of thought, and analysis as a multiplier of the forms and domains for the intervention of political action.
Do not demand of politics that it restore the "rights" of the individual, as philosophy has defined them. The individual is the product of power. What is needed is to "de-individualize" by means of multiplication and displacement, diverse combinations. The group must not be the organic bond uniting hierarchized individuals, but a constant generator of de-individualization.
Do not become enamored of power.

Sadly the ones that need to watch this wont.
Also sad that a lot of the sayings Renegade Cut's mentioning regarding excuses for dealing with Fascists and the whole "slippery slope" thing are stuff people constantly post in ERA threads. YIKES!

Especially the "... if you do THAT, you are JUST AS BAD AS THEY ARE!!!"
Quote from: Messofanego
Far left and far right have more differences than similarities, the latter being them being opposed to the liberal status quo. Those examples you use just sound like some dumb tankies. I'm not really worried about the far left who are not as much in numbers compared to liberals or centrists who can become apologists for fascists.

Honestly, juries should kill any holdouts rather than let criminals get away without consequences. Ideally they'd do it with the support of the bailiffs and in conjunction with the judge immediately punishing defense witnesses for lying on the stand.

Second, if Taliban wants to run a country they will disperse the money. Why would they want a ruined country for themselves. Third, if Taliban does decide to hold the money, then you get to complain.

...

If you're going to take a moral stand against Taliban, take a uniform moral stand against Saudi Arabia, Israel, China, etc.
Okay, sounds good.

We don't treat our Native population very great to be honest. I sometimes wonder if that means by Nepenthe's maths Natives can't be racist against Blacks because Natives occupy the lowest rung of society in Canada.

I just started taking paxlovid (the Covid antiviral pills) and within 2 hours I accidentally shat my pants (I’ve never done that before, neither as a child nor as an adult). What the actual fuck

Reading the comments this seems to be about truancy. In Tennessee you're apparently not allowed to drop out of school until you're 18.

I'd have looked up more but I'm soooo tired

Nothing more trustworthy than a 16 year old that wants to drop out of school to stream Minecraft all day, not like all those TERF-run fake news publications like BBC and NY Times.

Man we live in a society where Dr Strange is a bigger draw than batman

 :confused

Batman is a near 3 hour, damn near R rated moody as hell movie and first in a new trilogy. That audiences and critics loved more than they appear to be liking Strange.

Strange is the latest MCU movie. That’s why it made opening weekend money like it did. Word of mouth might crater it though.

This just again proves how badly they wanted to dunk on the new Batman movie but reviews and the big opening weekend plus strong legs killed that chance. Box office threads those first few weeks it was out were completely absent of the usual Marvel stans over there.

Quote from: Messofanego
Far left and far right have more differences than similarities, the latter being them being opposed to the liberal status quo. Those examples you use just sound like some dumb tankies. I'm not really worried about the far left who are not as much in numbers compared to liberals or centrists who can become apologists for fascists.

this is interesting, across sites like era I've often seen strongly expressed stances that choosing not to vote is support for the status quo, which is why not voting is a vote for Trump

y'know whether the most recent president was a liberal like Obama or conservative like Trump, not voting in either election was equivalent to a ballot supporting Trump

but if I'm learning here that the status quo leans liberal, I can confidently not vote and consider that a vote for the current liberal

Because that is exactly the approach one should have. This is not the end of the world.

It is also a weekend. If anyone, for example, expects me to go to work to fix work fires on a weekend, they are better off waiting for blood to rain from the sky.

Exactly what the thread title says.

For some reason, when I get to pick a random movie that has some nudity and sex jokes, I get unlucky and pick one that has transphobic jokes. They are always the "greatest hits", the same shit over again that I will not bother specifying here. And it has a much higher chance of happening if the movie has a gentleman's club or motel scene that involves multiple sex workers.

Doesn't matter what year the movie was made, this shit tends to happen in any comedy movie with sex jokes.

I can't stand it and turns me away from getting into adult comedy movies at all. I just wish someone made a browser addon that marks them as lgbt-phobic so I can spend my time elsewhere.

any good recommendations?

All I can think of Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) but I have a feeling it didn't suit to your liking, imo.

Although it does have some dirty jokes, but not the sex one.

Gaming side feels like its dying really fast. If it isn't a thread shitting on Nintendo, Microsoft/Xbox, or targeting specific games or developers for hate trains, not much conversing is happening.

The negativity and toxicity is worse than 4chan. Endless threads and posts of people wallowing and crying about videogames.

OH!

Thread locked by B-Dubs and considering there was a lot of criticism of the American sanctions, I expect it will stay locked.
Weird pair of bans the ad-hoc committee of staff came up with after discussing this one:
User banned (2 weeks): dismissing concerns

It would be released to the Taliban.

Sounds like the Taliban should print some money then. Their economy has to be entirely insular because we're not sending them imports anymore.

It's super interesting to see people react to sanctions on Russia and the Taliban completely differently.
User banned (2 weeks): dismissing concerns surrounding sexism

"They force women to wear the bad clothes" they cried while starving those women to death.
