WTF

Why everything needs to be a gender battle to them?

*Person who has starred in literally one tv show*

"If she doesn't become as famous as that hot Spider-man actor, who already had a career pre-Marvel, it's racism and sexism!"

Edit:

Zendaya is a superstar and Kumail Nanjiani is a Pakistani actor who is really well-liked as well.

I'd like to point out that unlike Velani, Kumail is a much more controversial in the Pakistani American community because of some shitty disparaging self-hating comments he's made. I, and a lot of other Pakistani Americans don't claim him.

I had no idea this was an option. I don't claim Hitler then

The leader of the incels, Monsieur Todd Phillips himself, has crashed Pride Month this year. What a shame. Can’t we celebrate in peace? Is nothing sacred?

Yesterday, the anti-woke director revealed his plans for a sequel to his controversial box office hit in an Instagram carousel post, the first photo revealing a screenplay cover and the second showing Joaquin Phoenix smoking a cigarette while reading it (lovely). In any case, get ready for Joker: Folie Á Deux.

Did Todd Phillips realize the harm he was causing when he announced this news? Did he even pause to think about how, for the next few years, we’ve just got to sit, waiting, worrying, dreading the next release of Joker 2 news?

...

The timing of this news was seen, by some, as an unwelcome affront during what should be a hallowed time:

There has been, dare I say it, some good to come out of the release of Joker. “This happened to my buddy Eric,” a post on Letterboxd reviewing the film, is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read. “We live in a society” memes are equally hilarious. It seems that, after the debut of Joker, pop culture was split in two: folks who were able to mock the film, and the select batch of incels who related to this nonsense.

There are several ways to fight back. Let history be your guide. But stop falling into despair.

History is my guide. Right now I’m looking at Rome and Weimar.

Fight how? Give examples besides vote blue.

Fighting back requires violence and we don’t want that

We also may not have a choice. Sometimes the fight comes to you whether you want it or not.

We don't, but the other side will use any means necessary to win. That much is now obvious. The progressive, reasonable people in this country are being backed into a corner.

The problem is that I do and most other folks don’t. Even the most Progressive cis folks won’t fight for trans folks while several states are actively trying to commit genocide against them. The same folks want unhoused encampments swept because it makes them feel better instead of doing actual work to help those folks. I spend time helping local food pantries to feed my community when they are having a really tough time trying to make ends meet and afford food. It’s hard as hell to get folks to donate much less host a pantry. I’m harassed by police and other folks as I go out in my community to do harm reduction efforts attempting to try and help folks be safe while using substances.

So forgive me if I’m pessimistic when my entire life experience has been such that I know that lip service is all I get from most folks and I’m watching folks in my community actively being hurt and no one giving a fuck.

But what do you do when you scream it as loud as possible and the average person just goes "Eh I don't pay attention to politics, but gas is pretty high and I dont like that."

Since when do happy thoughts and optimism actually fuel anything unless there's some sort of action? And unless you know what that action is, then your advice is useless. I swear so many people treat this like an anime story, where it'll all be great and the only thing that's holding us back is our pessimism.

Welcome to reality where the most likely scenario is shit is fucked and there's no good answer.

As if the mainstream press couldn't be even more pathetic they're now leaking emails, talking anonymously, to other outkets to trash Somnez and character assassinate her...

Look at the repeated language here, the single emphasis (when there's even a reference to this incident)is on condemning colleagues "attacking" their own... zero addressesing naked misogyny. The repeated words: proud, variations on the word collegial, "not perfect", collaborative.

None of them bothered to even disguise how circle the wagony these blatant PR statements are.

Meanwhile Somnez is clearly the only one with any bravery as she's speak openly.

It's just absolutely wild how utterly childish seemingly the newsroom of what is supposed to be one of the most respectable newspapers, is. It's utterly pathetic

It basically had to because WaPo had refused to do anything about Weigel constant bigoted behavior prior to someone like Somnez taking him to task publicly

The reason it's please don't criticize a colleague publicly is so that the Post can ignore criticism of their readers and pretend these things don't happen.

Yet again we see a prime example of how if a white man is good at his job, we should just ignore or shove aside blatant discriminatory practices because they are "sorry". The comments about how we should forgive and forget because he deleted it are incredible. "He swept it under the rug guys, can't we just move on and remember how cool he is!?". Let's just ignore that he decided it was a good idea to signal boost something gross and disgusting.

She deserves to hit the post with a discrimination/retaliatory lawsuit, but that would only further embolden all these fucks’ harrassment.

Also don't think it's a coincidence that they fired her right before the Jan 6th hearings

Story gets easily buried

I truly mean this as no offense to all yall, but fucking white people man. Even white women are standing up for some bullshit. but im not surprised considering how they rocked with Trump.

And it almost worked for me, I only searched for this thread update after getting a random story about this on my phone notifications. Trashy AF behavior from the Post but not surprising. Print journalism is regressing compared to most other mediums when it comes to diversity and inclusivity.

mmm incelsiorlef stanning for an insane chick who has fabricated sexual assault allegations and is awful at her actual job while others come in just to dunk on white women ignoring the white woman who went scorched earth on her company and coworkers over a deleted retweeted and apologized for harmless joke (and her white woman partner in crime, Taylor Lorenz, who on Twitter Friday accused a highly respected WaPo coworker who criticized her for lying multiple times of encouraging "radical influencers [working with] gamergate" to "attack a female journalist")

Well, let me help you there. Apparently many feel Joker is misogynistic.  Luckily, due to the Dave Weigel retweet showed, at least 50% of women are bisexual. So, the feeling is the sequel will also be misogynistic, thus follows that its harmful to a very large number of bisexual women, and thus… harmful to LGBTQ people.

It’ll be the usual Murricans on one side claiming their cats will instantly die if they go outside. Britbongs on the other claiming their cats refuse to be lured into their smelly bedsits

It's more the effect the cats have on all the rest of the nearby wild life, being little fucking killing machines with brain chemistry altering turds, but as per usual Muricans will ignore the fact they've only really had towns for like 100 years and most of europe have had domesticated cats for fucking thousands of years, so theres not a lot of environmental impact left that doesnt fall under natural predator / prey ecosystems

e: also its a recent thought process, because you literally see fred flintstone putting the cat out for the night in the opening of the flintstones, so that was obviously a common thing in the 60s

The problem is that I do and most other folks don’t. Even the most Progressive cis folks won’t fight for trans folks while several states are actively trying to commit genocide against them. The same folks want unhoused encampments swept because it makes them feel better instead of doing actual work to help those folks. I spend time helping local food pantries to feed my community when they are having a really tough time trying to make ends meet and afford food. It’s hard as hell to get folks to donate much less host a pantry. I’m harassed by police and other folks as I go out in my community to do harm reduction efforts attempting to try and help folks be safe while using substances.

So forgive me if I’m pessimistic when my entire life experience has been such that I know that lip service is all I get from most folks and I’m watching folks in my community actively being hurt and no one giving a fuck.

Wow, someone who by their own words is going into homeless camps and trying to incite "more active protest" and also frequenting known drug dealing hotspots and - charitably - doing "harm reduction" by providing crack pipes and syringes (and not, say, by selling better quality product) has attracted negative attention from the authorities and local residents who don't want their community to be filled with angry homeless and junkies?

I bet you most of this is BS. The dude is terminally online like Zeo and Excel.

Actually, there's something even more extremely funny in this. He's lecturing other progressives on how they do nothing but give "lip service" and he does all these good practical on the ground works right? But look at his own words. Thordinson is a guy who never stops advocating for violence to achieve justice and fight fascism and capitalism and how voting is done working and blah blah blah. Yet he says people in his own country are "actively trying to commit genocide" and what is he doing for "trans folks"? Posting about all the good work he does for "folks" on ResetERA.com. In that "let's do ONE quantifiable action for trans people" thread he posted a link to The Trevor Project which the OP mentioned as the only charity he could think of and praised someone else for being "visible" not even committing himself to wear or buy a trans shirt like the other brave folks in that thread. This is his quantifiable action against people actively trying to commit genocide in his own country.

"Well, of course he can't post what he's planning on ResetERA.com, benji. The well known anti-LGBTQ racist and violently bigoted fascist staff members that don't care about marginalized people (who are leaving in droves) would ban him and then how would he reach other progressives to aspire them to achieve justice? Better to advocate peacefully on the forum and then strike at the genocidal forces from the cover of darkness and secrecy!"

Pet ownership is slavery and the idea that anyone would think they have moral highground in a "should slaves be let outside" thread is pretty morbid.

cats are the only animal that self domesticated - ie they rocked up into human habitats and decided to stay there

If cats could talk, they'd probably consider us their slaves rather than the other way round

Not sure if joking, but every dog I've had has lived a life of luxury, security, and comfort.

He's a fucking moron who has said some incredibly ignorant shit in a malicious way and hasn't ever taken a strong stance against it to try to make up for it. He continues to say and support bullshit, too.

That any of you watch/support this guy is fucking horrible.

This ban was absolutely ridiculous, though.

It never stops confounding me how much worth they ascribe to someone having at best ignorant opinions. Like I'm pretty sure I haven't heard of that guy actually saying something truly bad like going on a racist rant or something like that. Oh no, he doesn't think distinguished mentally-challenged fellow should be censored and that it's dumb to complain about hot videogame characters, truly Hitler 2.0

"He's said ignorant shit in a malicious way" like what kind of fucking qualifier is that even supposed to be?

Thread got closed

ResetEra has proven time and time again that this thread will not end well.

I’ve often thought about role playing as an 80s film cop on Ree, only replying to Morrigan and Nep Nep’s posts using dialogue from action movies.

Mods at the largest video game message board in the world, who would ban your ass clean off, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

There are several ways to fight back. Let history be your guide. But stop falling into despair.

History is my guide. Right now I’m looking at Rome and Weimar.

Fight how? Give examples besides vote blue.

Fighting back requires violence and we don’t want that

We also may not have a choice. Sometimes the fight comes to you whether you want it or not.

We don't, but the other side will use any means necessary to win. That much is now obvious. The progressive, reasonable people in this country are being backed into a corner.

The problem is that I do and most other folks don’t. Even the most Progressive cis folks won’t fight for trans folks while several states are actively trying to commit genocide against them. The same folks want unhoused encampments swept because it makes them feel better instead of doing actual work to help those folks.

But what do you do when you scream it as loud as possible and the average person just goes "Eh I don't pay attention to politics, but gas is pretty high and I dont like that."

Since when do happy thoughts and optimism actually fuel anything unless there's some sort of action? And unless you know what that action is, then your advice is useless. I swear so many people treat this like an anime story, where it'll all be great and the only thing that's holding us back is our pessimism.

Welcome to reality where the most likely scenario is shit is fucked and there's no good answer.

The "progressive, reasonable people" folx.

Thorindson is the guy who used to have the Rean av, right? I think he's been letting Cold Steel get a bit too much into his brain (trust me, an easy mistake), no group of prodigal students (and their big-tidday teacher) gonna save the country from its oppressive gov't today.

Asmongold is absolutely a fucking chud. Always hated this asshole. One of those fucks that worked hard to normalize Trump and influenced a lot of impressionable young minds. Just generally encouraged people to be absolute assholes. I couldn’t give a shit if he got banned for chat logs inside of a mobile game. Good, get fucked.

I hated him so much that a couple years back I once confused him and Maximilian Dood in a thread. Felt terrible about that one because Max is an absolute sweetheart.

 

The dude looks nothing like Max.
