So how transphobic is it on a scale from 0 to Cyberpunk2077? We drinkin' Chromanticore?

0? There aren't any transphobic elements in the show. I don't recall any trans people or elements (ie. ads, etc) in the show at all.

Oh, the exact same level as the game then.

Are you seriously taking a dead man's 20 year old diary entry out of context to attack him?

Instead of jumping to view this as a defense of Michael Jackson, how about you instead look up Martin Bashir and realize why Rickman was criticizing Bashir in particular

Everyone must have the perfect opinions as updated moment by moment by a small percentage of people online, or else everything they've done should be disregarded.

Oh on the contrary. There is trans character in the game. I forget her name, but its the bartender at Afterlife whom you do a whole line of street racing missions with. She also talks about her husband and a bit of her transition experience.

Little good it did them, given how ERA acts towards the game.

I think there were one or two reviews that were mad about it (one ironically complaining that the game isn't trans enough) but basically no one gave a shit anymore once the game was released and all the idiots who proclaimed it to be a transphobic manifesto looked like the lunatics they are. Even Kotaku isn't going to write a piece about how "Beast" is supposedly a trans slur

This bill maher thread...

bill Maher is far right on several issues

Says poster recently banned for literally advocating murder

Bill maher has always been a shitty libertarian and he has just gotten worse.

Bill Maher is already on the far right, so no.

Bill Maher’s show is damn near a pipeline to the far right at this point

Bill Maher is a pipeline to the right. Turn away before you get brain worms OP

says poster who literally believes all police are roaming death squads

As others have said, his outwardly negative to hostile views on issues and policies that affects anyone who isn't white, straight, cisgendered and religiously observant of Judeo-Christian values grossly outweigh whatever positive views he has on anything left of center.

famously contemptuous of all religion atheist bill maher and his observation of judeo-christian values

Bill Maher is literally that dude that thanks he can say "nicca" because he once fucked black women

is, quite literally, not

Bro, he has become a white supremacist apologist

he is a gateway to right wing radicalization for a young guy who is otherwise liberal but politically neutral.

Maher is a fucking pedophile. Come on.

someone who spews vile hatred and misinformation that leads to the most vulnerable among us being hurt both mentally and physically.

He's alt right just not the raging alt right we see nowadays,he's more bitter and snarky,kinda like Ben Shapiro when you think about it but more confident.

Bill Maher is a liberal bigot.

So I think I've decoded eras political spectrum

I worked for a guy once who went to china to find a wife and came back to the states with her. The few times I had to visit their home for something they never spoke to each other.

The belief I’ve always heard from these types is that Asian women are “better” because they believe theyre more submissive than other types of women.

Yeah I hear that a lot. I wouldn't mind getting a Asian woman though!

Yep my cousin. He complains that he's forever alone and can't find a grirlfriend even after he "lowered his standards". He is also seriously overweight and smoke like 1 pack a day.

Ouch, he's pretty much ruining his chances with those alone. I'm against being overweight and I can't stand the smell of smoking, not to mention the issues it has.

I was a bit like this, although I never self-proclaimed myself as a "nice guy" lmao

But trying to get close and talk with a girl would normally get myself nervous as fuck, I would completely freeze. It didn't help that I've never been an attractive guy at all (short, bald and fat)

Ah, that is a shame. I don't rely on my looks as much(though it helped with some plus being above average male height and not fat), just my personality, confidence and such. And I can talk way too much once I get going, lol.

Every “Nice Guy” I’ve known has been a socially awkward creeps. Something about only interacting with women through media and porn fucks them up.

Yeah it messes with them because they don't have enough experience with meeting them in person so they view them differently online.

Got to love the Reset Era dummies saying how much they hate Islam when the very people protesting in Iran are overwhelmingly....Muslim.

I hate Muslims for extremist terrorism when....the majority of victims of Islamic terrorism are Muslim. 

I hate black people because of their gang violence when the majority of victims of black gang violence are....black.

Why is only one tolerated?

It's almost like not all Muslims think the same and many overwhelmingly don't like much less support their politicians and leaders. In the same way as an American I don't support them bombing brown people just because I was born and live here.

It's also 100% my version as I purposefully made in very low-res if anyone sniped it, but good to know.

This dude absolutely loves attention. I wonder if he came out of leaker retirement because it bothered him to see Grubb getting all the attention 

He has a meltdown every couple of weeks, cries about being unappreciated, announces his “retirement” then comes back a week later with more super secret Twitter info

It's because among the sea of people saying "stfu just tell us what we want to know, or don't" (harassment according to Dusk) you also have enablers on resetera standing up for him like he's Gandhi delivering world peace in the form of old concept art and footage that makes shit look a lot worse than it will during an upcoming official reveal.

I won't talk casually about HP without bringing up the transphobic elephant in the room and seeing how people respond. A horrifying number think she's just trying to defend the idea of sex (vs gender), and have no idea what her very public position these days truly is. Thankfully others just grimace and talk about how they wish they could enjoy the universe without thinking about her.

Now I don’t use the word hero lightly, but…

How the heck is it very public if people still confuse her "horrible" stance as sex vs gender.

all that matters is what she actually says, and they won't ever quote her because nothing she's ever said is unreasonable

in the uk you get arrested for tweeting "trans people should all be rounded up etc etc" so you know she's never said that

Plenty will watch.  But they will people people who don't care if their comedy is funny.  I don't think there has been any comic who has pursued a specific political focus and is funny.  George Carlin wasn't the pro-abortion comic.  His stuff was about funny words or phrases or jokes about everyday jackass shit. 

When you are making pro-LGBTQ comedy it's like when John Deere hires a comic and they do strictly industrial agriculture humor.  But don't forget about Tina in HR!  What crazy women, amirite!

Netflix gets accused of everything across the spectrum because they try to appeal to audiences across the spectrum. It’s fun when people don’t understand why all media isn’t made exclusively for them.

Isn't the controversy basically contained to ree now, the transphobic allegations seem to have fizzled out post release everywhere else.

Observing from the outside on Twitter, the anime popularity emboldened OG fanboys to say the game has always been good. Others snap back with a History Lesson about dev crunch, review limitations, bugs, pulled from PSN, no seizure warnings, no third person view being ableist. They’re scraping the bottom of the barrel and still nobody is calling out any transphobic content. And it’s Twitter.

Homework assignment asks students to take a picture of themselves doing homework in the bathtub. When the parents complained, the teacher sent a mass e-mail trying to explain that it was meant to be done in clothing and not... like... while bathing. They went to the cops anyway, and the school ended up removing the kid. From in the article linked:

“There was an assignment given, as I understand you have received a copy. It was taken out of an online teacher resource and has been used in many schools. There were certainly no bad intentions with this assignment. When a parent contacted our teacher with a complaint, our teacher immediately sent out correspondence to all parents in the class to assure them that there were no bad intentions with this assignment and to clarify the guidelines. No additional concerns were presented to the teacher. While the assignment was completely innocent, out of an abundance of caution and for there to be no misunderstandings, our administration has removed this particular assignment for any future use. We value our children and their safety is our top priority. We will continue to serve the children and families in which the Lord has graciously allowed us to have a part in their lives.”

—  Pastor Jesse Latta

Yikes, oof, bad look there chief, but pretty clearly more of an optics thing over nefarious intent. But, because it's Era, instead this:

Fucking gross

Of course the police looked no further.

i'm assuming "why the fuck you want pictures of kids in bathtubs, b?"

that's when I enact the 'no "cute shit", we do business here, only' rule.

"obviously we meant clothed"
obviously i don't give a shit, meet me outside.

Psalm 24
1 The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

There is probably some fucked up logic to link the seas and floods to child being naked in the bath

It's gross how they use fairy tales like religion to justify even asking for something like this. What's next week's assignment? Take a selfie on the shitter?

I gotta be real, what's the point of these sorts of threads except for people to complain about YouTubers they dislike? They're not informative, they're not timely, they cover ground that's been covered a million times before.

Whether they're bigoted or rightwing or not, streamers and YouTubers and social media influencers are all exploitative. Parasocial relationships are inherently exploitative.

Beyond that, these people are just people and have all the faults we all do. Someone are bigger assholes than others, but threads like this don't do anything about that. Especially when most users aren't bringing reciepts.

All these sorts of threads do is reinforce the idea of negative engagement and make us feel superior for a fleeting moment.

Seriously, reconsider how you engage with the content you consume and why you have the discussions you do and how best to be the change you want to see in the world. Because, even if you've got good intentions, this ain't it.

Bdumbs is so close to his own "Den of cunts" heel turn. These little screeds that accompany his thread locks are sailing increasingly closer to the "stop being so damn woke" wind.

Now if only he could say something to the group of losers who live on that forum 24/7 and go into every thread to derail it if they find anything they deem problematic

Yeah I think I'm leaning towards attempted murder here, though probably not planned in advance. How unbelievably stupid do you have to be to park anything on train tracks, anywhere, ever? This doesn't add up

Now I'm not an planned murder expert, but if the cops intended to murder their suspect by train wouldn't they have to know the train times?

Don't policemen/women have to do a IQ test or anything. A 5 year old knows not to stay on the train tracks.

Gross negligence is what they should get sued on.

It was dark and the car they were pursuing stopped just on the other side of the tracks, forcing them to either stop where they were, reverse, or drive even closer. They were presumably distracted by the potential danger coming from the suspect who had just brandished a gun at someone in a road-rage incident, meaning this is a potentially unhinged person who might shoot a cop.

When you watch the video it's pretty obvious the ACABS are so filled with bloodlust they don't even realize there are train tracks

[HardcoreRetro]

Yeah, those two giant white crossroads signs were pretty hard to notice.

Edit: Top of the page safe rail conduct.

Sure but how many times have you been focusing on something, being caught up in that thing and not registering other stuff around you? It happens all the time when people are doing basic like things shopping. I can understand how the ACABS being all jazzed up on justice juice would blank out everything else

[Potato]

People potentially shooting at you would tend to focus your attention pretty narrowly, I guess...

[Uncle]

I don't think any aspect of the story needs any defense, stupid shit happens all over the world constantly

never ascribe to malice what can be explained by stupidity



modern discourse wants to scrutinize every event as to how it relates to whatever cause of the moment when it's just yet another "news of the incredibly dumb" like "robber takes nap on couch, gets caught by homeowner lol"

If cuba isn’t a democracy then there are none in this world by any cracked definition you have in your head.

Cuba is probably the most democratic state in the Americas. If you understood how the grassroots and government organizations work in partnership to serve the people of the island, you wouldn’t ask silly questions like “are you calling cuba a democracy”

Im confused
Cubans cant even vote for another party if they wanted to

that’s because they want the communist party.

Tankie gonna tankie.

Cuba’s one-party communist state outlaws political pluralism, bans independent media, suppresses dissent, and severely restricts basic civil liberties.

I don't know guys, but I kinda get the feeling that deepwater might be a dumbass

dude china is a clear democracy, when I was there we all voted on where we wanted to go to lunch and had fish rather than chicken, it's not like the state mandated what we should eat 

[Joe Molotov]

In the US you choose which shithead you want to let fuck up the country this time, in Cuba you choose how happy you want to be that you live in Cuba.
