User Banned (1 Month): Excusing homophobia across a series of posts

Quote from: Bastos, post: 88660098, member: 3518
The game is a tactical milsim that tries to simulate with maximum accuracy all possible fucked up situations a SWAT-like team would face.

I don't know what you all were expecting. This kind of shit happens all the time everywhere in the world, there are movies, tv shows, books and whatnot about this, why does a game doing the same generate so much drama?

If absurd realism, including precise depiction of this stuff bothers you, there are A LOT of other FPSes and shooters that are not part of this niche.

There are other games that do the same or worse.

Quote from: Bastos, post: 88664124, member: 3518
afaik the update was only available for the beta branch, it isn't out for everybody, so I really can't say for sure that they did that on purpose. If they did, then I completely agree that it's an absolutely shitty thing to do.

Fair enough. And didn't know that about the new content from ArmA.


I just absolutely love milsims. And like it or not this game is the most complete and feature rich Urban Milsim we have.

I am not American and I had no idea about the existence of this shooting (sorry but shootings are not uncommon in the USA). It's honestly the first time I heard about this specific shooting.

I didn't post in bad faith.

And my arguments are "shitty" because you don't agree with them but ok.

Like I said to Nepenthe, I didn't even knew about this shooting before.

Also, this update is starting to add context to missions, etc.

Another TERF BITCH successfully annihilated  :salute
Where is the excusing of homophobia across a series of posts at?
Didn't you read the post about the prisms and rainbows and that definite, 100% link to pride month you big*t?

people hating on pedal clips/straps here wtf lol

they are perfect for helping power transfer and you also don‘t have to wear specific cycling shoes that clip into pedals but just your normal shoes so you can actually walk around and not look like a dumb ass off the bike, and actually it‘s easier to get out of a clip/strap than with cycle shoes

here‘s one of my bikes, my beautiful surly steam roller fixed gear (here in singlespeed conversion) built by myself, with MKS pedals from japan, with straps to the pedals:

"They need to stop catering to white chuds"

"Omg why are the white chuds not watching it??"

(Also in reality I imagine it's how the show is marketed as teen/highschool show that's unappealing, not the skin color)

I think it doesnt help that many people first exposure of Khamala Khan was in that Avengers game. I think she also apperared in some cartoons as a minor character.

Compare that with Miles Morales that starred in a a succesful video game expansion and a Oscar winning animated film.

I understand that some might find it a bit crass or insensitive to release or announce or whatever this is on the anniversary of the actual event (though if we don't assume bad faith we might think they intended a tribute) but I'm still not sure what the homophobia is here or how that poster was somehow excusing it. Should it be verboten to depict events in "gay history" semi-accurately? Especially from the point of view of the rescuers?

I will agree that they probably shouldn't celebrate Juneteenth with a mission where you put your knee on George Floyd's neck that opens with a title card "Bonobo" though. I don't know why they agreed to Frank O'Connor's request for such a mission no matter how annoyingly persistent he was in promising a slot on GamePass if they did.

It might be that Ms. Marvel is coming up right after a lukewarm Dr. Strange flick that got wrecked by the Cruise Missile who reminded us all what a real blockbuster looks and feels like.

Not to mention Disney is sort of competing with itself with Obi Wan and a few other shows they seem to be promoting more.
Disney these days reminds me of SEGA after the 16-bit triumph.

I enjoyed the Rescue Rangers movie and some other stuff but I feel like it's the 32x competing against the SEGA CD with the Saturn on the way.
There doesn't seem to be any direction or strategy. Just and endless sea of contentTM.

There's like 3 movies coming out between Dr. Strange (May) and Thor Love & Thunder (July) and that's not counting all the Disney+ TV shows and exclusive movies.

I believe one of those movies is a Toy Story film about Buzz Lightyear? You'd think that it would be a big deal and get some ad space but they barely have room to promote it.

Haha, the wiki says, “Due to the episode's overwhelmingly poor reception, several additional test screenings were held the following month, although the results were generally inconclusive, with a large portion of the test audience appearing fascinated by the witch, rather than scared, on account of her green face (as, during this period, some families didn't have access to a color TV).”

No one was actually scared, but the complainers were loud enough to get it removed as usual!

Boomer parents really don’t like violence in…. Anything really
Quote
I remember there being at least two types of boomer parents in the 80s/90s. One who would extremely shelter their kids and wouldn’t let them even watch the Simpsons because “it taught their kids to be disrespectful” (I remember that being a giant WTF when hearing that from other kids), and the other who didn’t give any fucks and let their elementary school aged kids watch Robocop, Terminator, Predator, etc in all their R rated glory endlessly.
:doge

That's so absolutely true. My fiancee wasn't allowed to watch the Simpsons growing up but when I was 9, 10 years old I was watching Aliens, T2, Robocop, etc.

Heavy cursing is where my parents drew the line, for some reason. Got my Guns N Roses cassette confiscated for blasting it a little too loud around the house.

I beg some people within this thread to internally ask themselves why seeing the teenage adventures of Kamala Khan makes them think, "This is for teen girls only," while the teenage adventures of Peter Parker is met with, "ah, this is for all ages and genders!"

Because one is fucking Peter Parker/Spider-Man? Perhaps the most popular character in the world? Ask the average person who Kamala is and they’ll probably have no idea. She’s brand new to the general MCU watching crowd that doesn’t follow comics and just watches the movies. Her popularity will spike after the next Captain Marvel movie and people go back and watch the show.

The desperate need over there for the lower viewership to all be because of racism/sexism is nauseating. While that is no doubt a little bit of a factor with some idiots out there, the main reason is because lack of familiarity with the character. Stop comparing her to fucking Spider-Man and thinking it’s some gotcha moment.

Well that's sad, and we all know the reason.

Lol at that thread.

For me this show coming on the heels of two mediocre MCU Disney + shows and a not very good Dr Strange movie.

Plus it pretty much from the trailers looks like a teenage superhero show, means my current desire to watch it is low.  The irony is Disney knows that hence why they put it up again Obi Wan.

You can't just not like the latest Marvel crap. You have to be a racist, sexist, and Islamophobic chud to not like it. I mean, it might be a decent show, but I--and it looks like a lot of other people--ain't got the time to invest in what looks like teen drama superhero drek Disney pumped out.

A lot of them admit that Marvel shows at Disney Plus are underwhelming to begin with, maybe a lot of people are starting to choose what shows to watch, specially if is not a big name actor or super hero character.

I'm not seeing a lot of Disney ads. They pushed Dr. Strange, it was everywhere and of Obi Wan I've seen bits and pieces.
Dr. Strange didn't quite had the legs they expected so they probably blew their marketing budget for nothing.

Overall they're doing a poor job at advertising. They seem to cater to their hardcore fans who are already fans and not really expanding beyond that.
A bit like PlayStation does.

I thought episode 1 of Ms. Marvel was really good. Episode 2 was not lol.

but honestly even as a MCU whore like I am...the trailers were shit and looked bad. They changed her powers and the response was the usual "well you obviously hate women"...which did not work for Captain Marvel lol.

Its a shame because the way the show shows off the character's ethnicity is actually interesting and I learned something.

Whatever reasons the show is shunned, there’s no scenario where Disney is an underdog. This is chapter 38 of the multibillion dollar marvel franchise. Before it finished production, the character was moved into chapter 41, a $250 million dollar movie. I miss the days when Mitt Romney was laughed at for saying corporations are people.

Ms Marvel might be good, but I don't want to hear any shit about racism being part of the reason people don't watch it.

All those other shows are being led by actors who have fronted Hollywood blockbusters. Nobody knows who the fuck anyone is Ms Marvel is.

Sure would be interesting since the decision was based on a scientific panel

Trans people can't live without participating in athletic competitions that seek to limit who can participate?

Tear them down.

They're all accomplices to terrorism and should be pursued as such. They're asking for vigilante action at this point.

Pessimism at this point is no better than siding with the enemy.

im at the point where i think we literally cannot have a world, if there isnt a fast revolution against these anti-human, anti-science conservative lunatics.

been at that point for about 25 years now tbh. there is even less hope now than ever, in my mind.

It seems to me that violence is the only option left if we want to avoid completely destroying the planet. So that means we're going to completely destroy the planet as the good domesticated consumers that we are.
Always fun to see reactionary apocalyptic religious nutters start calling for violence when secular authorities elect to use their legal code over scripture as the basis for law.

I shouldn't be surprised that no one even looks at the scientific argument. Good chance that anyone who does would get banned anyway

Since you won’t see details there:

Quote from: FINA
The Science Group reported that biological sex is a key determinant of athletic performance, with males outperforming females in sports (including Aquatics sports) that are primarilydetermined by neuromuscular, cardiovascular, and respiratory function, and anthropometrics including body and limb size. The extent of the male/female performance gap varies by sport and competition, but the gap universally emerges starting from the onset of puberty. The group reported that there are sex-linked biological differences in Aquatics, especially among elite athletes, that are largely the result of the substantially higher levels of testosterone to which males are exposed from puberty onwards. Prior to puberty, testosterone levels are similar in females and males. During puberty, however, testes-derived testosterone concentrations increase 20-fold in males, while testosterone concentrations remain low in females so that post-pubescent males have circulating testosterone concentrations at least 15 times higher than post-pubescent females (15-20 nmol/L in adult males versus c.1 nmol/L in typical females of any age). High testosterone levels generate not only anatomical divergence in the reproductive system but also measurably different body types/compositions between sexes.

According to the Science Group, if gender-affirming male-to-female transition consistent with the medical standard of care is initiated after the onset of puberty, it will blunt some, but not all, of the effects of testosterone on body structure, muscle function, and other determinants of performance, but there will be persistent legacy effects that will give male-to-female transgender athletes (transgender women) a relative performance advantage over biological females. A biological female athlete cannot overcome that advantage through training or nutrition. Nor can they take additional testosterone to obtain the same advantage, because testosterone is a prohibited substance under the World Anti-Doping Code.

So in short, their Science Group determined that if you can’t prevent the effects of testosterone on the body before puberty, it will give the individual an unfair advantage with the associated biological changes, even if afterwards removed from testosterone post-pubescent.

Bad science did and does exist, in their defense. You had doctoral dickheads decades ago thinking transorbital lobotomies were good therapy for mental illness. That’s not to say FINA is wrong, but science is still adjudicated by human beings and human beings can really suck sometimes.

When you say it like that, I realize that there's a huge overlap between the trans community and my sister-in-law
