Unironical use of The Persecution of Geeks is still a thing huh. Just placed a little farther in the timeline before the author and I imagine most of the viewers were born.

You'd think that being hyper cognizant about Gamergate and shit would have led people to re-examine more critically that whole thing.

Unlike Lord of the Rings films that could pass themselves off as blockbusters...
WTF even is that shit.

I didn't go much farther in the video so I may have missed some insights but I'm surprised we're still there. The geek "revanchism" was not a small part in why it distilled into something like Gamergate. A more realistic appraisal would de facto melt some of the misplaced sense of "ownership".

Sounds like you skipped over several other details on why she wasn't even allowed to go to school.
The "steamer" (aka random truant teenager) claimed elsewhere they had already been expelled and weren't doing their online classes and the police were there for multiple reasons.

The article itself is absolutely awful, the only source for any of it is the 16 year old. They didn't contact the police, the school, anyone except the 16 year old who was allowed to uncritically tell a story they have been coached on by another older trans streamer and which itself is contradictory (says they're afraid of being taken into foster care even though they're already in foster care) and hard to take as any kind of evidence of STAGE EIGHT.

Yeah, the police are sent out after truants these days. Thread is bitching about Republicans they want to kill for this while forgetting one thing the current Vice President is famous for.

It’s insane how nonchalantly they throw that word around. For the past 5-10 years the average trans murders per year in the U.S. has been around 25-30. That’s for the entire country. And like half of them were domestic violence related.  The city of Chicago alone tops that in less than 2 weeks.

It’s nuts how much influence these terminally online incels have gained from their insanity.

The cop shit is wild but so is the school straight up not allowing her to attend when he WANTS to and then considering him truant. What the fuck? how is this legal?

i mean... if you are a pu$$y and and want to go to school when you feel like it, you are already a broken individual trying to keep yourself uneducated.



I love how kids are minors when it comes to police encounters but adults when it comes to making decisions on transsexuality.

I also love how this trans person is an adult to make a decision of what kind of education they need but a minor when it comes to how the school should treat them


I believe that poster who was saying the title is clickbait is right and the pushback from exelsexaddict is clear because being clear in title would have not pushed era's agenda that Trans people cannot do any wrong . in any way. in any form? even when they commit a crime, its not their fault. ever

I am just waiting for the day soon when Era says Dave Chappelle's trans friend Daphne would still be alive if she wasnt friends with him

In a sane society, if for some reason a teenager felt obligated to skip school due to being forced to use the wrong bathroom (lets say for a different example - they were being bullied/harassed) you'd have the school administration working to find a way to accommodate the student so that they can return to class. You would call the parents, send guidance counselor or even just let the student use a staff bathroom in the short term. You would not seek to punish them, you would try to help them. In the end, that is the responsibility of public schools - to ensure a fair education for all kids in their district.

Tragically much of the country is not 'sane society' thanks to Conservatives.

Like setting up some kind of online remote learning system?

So both my brother and I have babies. It’s his third and my second. They both are still on formula and it’s near impossible to find in our area. I looked eBay and what we paid $50 for MSRP is going for $83.50 on eBay. That’s absolutely disgusting and I think eBay should be delisting these posts.

Scalping a PlayStation or Deck or some piece of entertainment is one thing. Good for babies is downright evil. And please no “but it’s capitalism and they have every right to do that” posts.

The school said they could use the staff bathrooms instead, they preferred to stay home to stream Minecraft and chat on shosta's james's Discord.

I think 16 is probably old enough to drop out with the parents permission, the State of Tennessee disagrees with me on that and probably many other things.

Why don't you flip the sides involved, and you tell me:

Do:

Cults (and their enablers and apologists) get very upset if you question (not even reject) their dogma. If somebody feels something you should just accept and believe it and do whatever they want. This is very sane and rational behavior.

Oh, I see:
If Mary's chromosomes were XX (there's 6 chromosomal sexes and you can't prove which combination Mary had) then Jesus was the first Trans Man (since Mary would have passed on only her XX genes as God doesn't have a genetic code)
Interesting, was the guy who disproved everything known about chromosomes also the guy who discovered God can't have a genetic code?

My mental health improved SIGNIFICANTLY once Trump was banned from Twitter. Prior to his ban it was impossible to avoid him as his tweets would be imbedded in news articles, forums, other tweets, just literally everywhere. And they were always terrible untruthful statements. It was legitimately like a weight was lifted when that ban was put in place.

I do not look forward to the possibility of that being reversed. I don't want to go back to that feeling.
Quote
in my head canon this was the plan the entire time. while some argued that this was a colossal waste of money, 44bn is probably a good deal for wealthy assholes and adversaries to speed up fascism in the us and the world with minimal ass effort through tweets and bot farms
Quote
All part of the plan. Get Trump reelected, have Thomas resign and replaced with someone younger to strengthen their hold on the SCOTUS, while hoping that Sotomayor kicks the bucket.
Quote
At this point, all people who are worth $100 million and up should be considered an enemy of the working class.
Quote
As I said before, when that happens, I will delete my Twitter account.
Quote from: Coyote Starrk
If Trump makes it back to mainstream social media before the midterms that is a huge swing of momentum in their direction. It will energize them. Give them a big "win". The Democrats do not have any one or anything to rally behind like the Republicans will for Trump. It's been basically a year straight of losses for the Democrats.

I don’t doubt a competitor can come about, but what will it be portrayed as? Non-Elon Twitter and with no Trump or Alex Jones allowed?

Maybe we will just have a left wing Twitter and a right wing Twitter one day.

You could have unique identifiers, for posts to make sure they are legitamate so you can verify it.

Hmm

You could call it something catchy like VerifIT.

I'm going to start a left-wing Twitter. No right-wingers, social fascists or revisionists allowed.

Some takes that use dialogue lifted straight out of the alt-right playbook have snuck into both the Moon Knight and Doctor Strange threads over the past couple days.

Some of y'all are truly so laser focused on seeing everyone who doesn't share your opinion on something us dumb as Marvel TV shows as dog whistling secret Alt-right Nazis that it's getting utterly impossible to have any take here that goes beyond your own perspectives or thoughts. Try to actually realize that there are people behind these posts who are doing things in real life, meeting people, spending money or work hours or marching with friends and family for equality and diversity...and then realize that you call them out for" willfully lifting from the alt-right-playbook" because they thought a scene in a Marvel show written by the screenwriter of Fant4stic was a bit shit.

You referred to a scene of a child being happy that they saw a superhero who looked like them as "performative inclusiveness."

I did not reply the way I did because you thought the scene was written poorly. I replied the way I did because you used a phrase that is almost exclusively used in alt-right circles, just as I took issue with the poster in the Doctor Strange thread who referred to those debating whether or not it was sexist as "SJWs."

Words matter. I do not think you're a damn Nazi. But you came into the thread to call that scene "cringe" and then doubled down with "performative inclusiveness." You chose your words very poorly.

Are you honestly so utterly self-unaware that you can read what you're posting and not realize how incredibly dismissive and offensive you're being? All your claims otherwise, what's the functional difference between what you're doing here, and white chuds deriding Black Panther for "appealing to black people"? Being offended that people compare your posts to alt-right rethoric has no bite if you're literally unable to point out what the difference is.

Extra points for:
- Not only dismissing the Egyptian creators involved as irrelevant, but claiming that even bringing them up "sucks" and is done for illegitimate "moral superiority".
- "I'm not Egyptian but I have Egyptian frie-" sorry, not even that; "I have LGBT and non-white friends".
- Trying to derail the conversation from Moon Knight's Egyptian creators to the politics of Disney executive overlords that are like at least three degrees removed from the former and anyhing discussed here.
- Enumerating all the ways you're (allegedly) advancing the progressive cause IRL, as if that somehow counterbalances and excuses posting all that dismissive stuff here.

I mean, I also found it cringy and forced. Yet at the same time I’m happy for those that felt represented by it and liked it.

And yes, I felt the same way about the “girl power” moment in Endgame. It was a bunch of side characters that have had zero focus plus the one girl that had their own film (Captain Marvel). It was forced. Have your girl power moment by actually focusing on female heroes and giving them movies.
Oh, good, another non-Egyptian male voice joining the conversation on why Egyptian female creators' Egyptian women inclusiveness is cringe and forced. So truly #blessed we are.

I truly am lost at how anyone is supposed to respond to stuff like this.

In an ideal world, by realizing this moment wasn't aimed at you and you don't need to give your opinion on what people of other ethnicities create and enjoy, let alone ridicule and grossly misrepresent the intention of a single moment of acknowledging each other (rather ironic considering your own complaints that everyone in this thread is misrepresenting your intentions).

In an even more ideal world, by realizing you were literally speaking over said non-white fans and creators, which is pretty gross, and then doubling down and using every disingenuous tactic on the book just so you don't have to reflect or god forbid walk back anything, which is even more gross.

But clearly the only option is to keep doubling down and playing the prosecuted victim when everyone else rightfully calls out your shit. None of this is getting through to you (or rather, you aren't one bit interested), so what's the point. Carry on.

Unironical use of The Persecution of Geeks is still a thing huh. Just placed a little farther in the timeline before the author and I imagine most of the viewers were born.

You'd think that being hyper cognizant about Gamergate and shit would have led people to re-examine more critically that whole thing.

"With the Avengers movie, suddenly you were not considered an insufferable nerd for knowing who Captain America was..."
 :idont :what :steel

Unlike Lord of the Rings films that could pass themselves off as blockbusters...
WTF even is that shit.

That's an 89 minutes long video.

Dredd's runtime, sans credits? 89 minutes.

The choice is clear.

Our movements are just harder to sustain over the long term.

The easy way to dissuade Nepenthe from being "gung-ho for radical action" is to just report a bunch of posts until she's too exhausted to do anything.

Nepenthe's Secret Plan For Radical Action (DO NOT SHARE WITH LIBERALS OR WHITE DEVILS)

Step 1: Set a trash can on fire while dressed as a dog on rollerblades.
Step 2: ?
Step 3: Capitalism and colonialism collapse.
