My niece is 13 and her christmas list was so fucking ridiculous that I just got her an Amazon gift card. Id rather she can just go on amazon and have her parents order what she wants rather than dragging them around to stores with cash.

Not a comic nerd but Into the Spider-Verse and what little I played of the PS5 game...Miles being black was secondary at best. He also spent most of those stories fucking up like any good Spider-Person. That made him cooler to me than any other "i'm black yall" character ever has.

It's crazy how nepenthe would ban you for saying that. For her race is the primary attribute of a human or character.  And if you are a minority you should never stray to far from your lane (kind) lest you become too white.

I'm just saying if you see a thread about a newspaper posting a Swastika shaped crossword on the first day of Hanukkah filled with people who are very offended by it maybe don't come in and start defending the newspaper and telling everyone that they are wrong and to stop being offended.


Even if it somehow was just this crazy coincidence that some people are trying to push it's pretty tone deaf to come in and tell people to not be offended because reasons. This is something that Era has enforced all the time when it comes to sensitive or offensive subjects being discussed.

Even if there is a perfectly reasonable explanation let's go with the one that invents the Jew York Times as a hub of anti-semitism. 

I thought it was nice when Era started to oppose the denigration of jews on the site.  But then they took it too far and it's just a virtue signal fest where every non-Jew tries to be the most offended on our part. I'm also native american so I'm really used to that sort of thing.  Nepenthe and Exelsiorif always keep indigenous people in their back pocket as some sort of ninja smoke bomb to throw on the floor when they need to exist a thread.  And now they are collecting anti-semitism as another pokeball to throw down when confronted with their own poor beliefs.

[Propagandhim]

If deductive reasoning doesn't bring you to the conclusion that this is anti-Semitic, I suggest you leave this thread.

Deductive reasoning = the New York Times, of all publications, is hiding swastikas in its crossword instead of it being a coincidental resemblance.   

Can you find other examples of this where the pattern makes a swastika?

More 'deductive reasoning' - a coincidence has to happen more than once for it to be valid or else the New York Times has succumbed to the nazi scourge.  It's the only reasonable explanation

  No, any evidence to the contrary, like the puzzle constructor signal boosting trans constructors on Twitter, is not worth considering.

Here we fucking go.   

[Transhuman]

I'd be funny if it wasn't so pathetic how they twist anything and everything to fit their delusions, and it really shows how little difference there is between the extreme right and extreme left in their blind stupidly. Radial symmetry? On the first day of Hanukkah? Guess there's neo-nazis in the NYT crossword department. Pizza AND Ping-Pong? Guess the Democrats rape and exanguinate babies in satanic rituals.

...Bad Rep?

Aside from Letitia being a transphobic antivax idiot, the movie itself seems to have gotten great reviews?

Tbh this thread feels like a parody, "MCU fan can't handle their movie getting badmouthed by one random outlet". I loved the movie and it's my #2 favorite MCU movie currently(might change with future rewatches) and even I think this is an overreaction.

ZeoVagina

But it's not. Like, at all.

Both critics and audiences liked it. It's had a great run at the box office. Angela Bassett got nominated for a Golden Globe and there's a good chance she at least gets nominated for Best Supporting at the Oscars.

Did it take over the world and become a phenomenon like the original? No, but that was never going to happen in the current box office world after the main actor died of cancer.

Not sure where the "bad rap" idea is coming from at all.

Fact check: It was a bad movie

Anti-theism is bigotry because most religions are not similar to Christianity(including the Abrahamic ones). Equating us with Christianity is wrong because it accomplishes Evangelism's goal of erasing others cultures and colonizing us.

Thank you. I have always been anti-theist, and criticized all religions pretty much equally, and considered the vast majority of organized religions to be systems of oppression in one way or another regardless of their origin. I never realized until today I was doing harm to oppressed minorities when taking a stance against religions outside of Christianity. Thank you again for opening my eyes.

Nah, miss me with this "no true Scotsman" guff. ALL religions are codified rules of conduct and ethics that enforce uniformity and compliance. Chuds and right-wing assholes will use anything to further put religious minorities in the west under their control and oppression, but that is not an excuse to avoid calling out their harmful beliefs, contradictions and oppressions in turn.

A MAJOR part of Judaism is questioning your faith in authority and religion. This is why white goyim shouldn't criticize cultures they aren't a part of

Anti-theism is inherently bigotry and not a marginalized identity. Also many anti-theists are Nazis and fascists masquerading as "Classical Liberals"

If anyone doesn't get why it's shitty it's because Jews and Muslims aren't monoliths and many criticize the practice. It's also not okay to demonize and direct hate at us as marginalized cultures, especially during a time of growing white supremacy. It also plays into the Evangelist idea that non-Christians are uncivilized and need to be forcefully converted and erased

I'm just trying to get people to help. It's not okay to criticize marginalized cultures you don't belong to.

Idk why people are bashing me for trying to stop antisemitism and islamophobia. Yeah I got frustrated but a lot of people were talking over me @mr. Fletcher

The point I was trying to make is that since Christians have persecuted and genocided Jews and Muslims for millennia, it's not okay for cultural Christians to demonize us. "Jews and Muslims are backwards for (insert thing here that Jews and Muslims already criticize)" is Christian Supremacist propaganda, it's been done for ages, and it's wrong to ignore that

Also being against religion(instead of not liking it personally) is bigotry. Most Jews and Muslims are not bothering anyone by practicing religion and being part of our culture

And religion is not the only reason people oppress and discriminate, anyone involved with any ideological dogma has the chance of being prejudiced, which turns into discrimination, etc

I know it's not the best example but he has said worse and I told Nintendo he's done it repeatedly. I can't find the tweets he posted because they got deleted. Yes specifically calling out Jews and Muslims and bigoted. It's not okay but I guess you don't understand that

Yeah it's really not okay to dismiss my opinion on what's Antisemitic considering I'm Jewish as "inflammatory" when people are saying my culture is inherently harmful and shouldn't exist

Judaism is an ethnic religion(which doesn't have to do with dna but it's still a group of people unites by culture). Do you think Jews could've said "oh I'm not actually Jewish it's just a choice" when we were being genocided? that's extremely fucking Antisemitic @Tye

You all are acting like 4channers.

Staff Communication
After discussion with the staff, we have decided to keep the thread closed. If new news comes into light regarding Adam Howden then a new thread can be opened. With that said, we want to address something for any future threads.

Religion is understandably a touchy topic whenever it is brought up. That has been the case since humans started to practice religion thousands of years ago, and it will always be the case. We also understand that many people here have experienced life events, both good and terrible, in the name of religion. All that being said, Famiboards is a global community made up of people from many walks of faith as well as many people who chose to be non-religious. Whenever someone's faith or non-faith is brought up, they should be free to discuss their opinions without being attacked, as long as those opinions are not harmful. If someone disagrees with your take, that does not automatically make them a terrible person.

Again, we understand that religion is often a heated talking point. Always remember that you can use the ignore function if you do not feel comfortable with engaging a person or topic.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/poly-open-relationship-support-thread.259269/page-2#post-98540998

Hey sorry for the bump, and this long ass post. I’m not even fully sure if this counts but my girlfriend seemingly just allowed me to open my share of the relationship to a sexual partner and I’m completely out of my league on the topic.

Here’s some background to understand the situation. I grew up and went to Catholic school with a mom who wasn’t very secretive about her own sexual nature. The topic of sex was always sort of taboo to even talk about but by the time I was 14-15 I knew full well what she was up to herself. Having said all of that we were poor growing up so I lost most of my friend group in my early teens, fell into a crippling depression and eventually gained 325 pounds over the next 20 years until I was 35. I had gastric bypass a few years ago after hating my life I had eventually spiraled so bad that I just stopped talking to people and hid in my room in my parents house never getting to have a relationship or even have sex until I was 35.

In 2020 two years after my gastric bypass I had lost about 130 pounds and was starting to like myself and felt it was time to start checking those apps out I had always heard about. I really struggled to even carry more than a conversation with people because I wasn’t used to this world of dating and how it worked but all I was really looking for at the time was just some fun that I never got to have previously. I didn’t really understand hooking up and just keeping things to that so I accidentally stumbled from 1 relationship I probably wasn’t fully prepared for directly into my current relationship with absolutely nobody between the two.

My girlfriend knew about my stunted growth in that department and she knew how badly the relationship before ours was from what I had told her. I posted previously in the dating thread on this topic but in about June of this year I found out that someone that’s still close to her and our friend circle used to be somebody she hooked up with regularly and I had known about it previously but she shed some new light on the situation that just instantly flipped a jealousy switch and caused me to freak out. Again I was new to this situation and once we sat down and talked about what I was feeling she told me it’s absolutely natural and to not be worried. Part of my freak out came from a very deep sense of jealousy that she was open and free enough in life to be sexually adventurous in her younger days and she’s glad she was because she knows what she likes now and I never got that really.

Our life got even better afterwards when I was able to ease up about normal natural things in relationships like that. A few weeks ago one of my closest oldest friends passed away incredibly suddenly and the last month has been mostly a blur of emotions and a very shitty attitude in general. We had some of her friends over a few days after the death for her brothers birthday and throughout the night the topic of sex came up multiple times across the group, mostly picking on who people slept with and such. A few days after that the topic of the friend in our circle cropped up again with some more new info I had not had previously and the stress of losing my friend and already being in a dark place just instantly made me lose it again. I did a lot of thinking about why I feel this way and eventually it came down to I’m a very sexual person who never got to have that kind of fun or discover things I may or may not like. There’s also been a few issues in our personal sex life that were slightly causing feelings of it being a 1 sided affair with my girlfriend basically getting the vanilla sex she wants before bed with various promises to return to the kink talk later and then never doing so. With everything else going on I was in a bad place and she knew it but with everything else going on it made sense to her.

I was incredibly scared to share with her what I had been ruminating on for the last few days because I was scared of how she’d take hearing something like that. We talked in the beginning that if it was open it would be open from the beginning but we didn’t open it at the beginning so I assumed what she would say and that scared me even more because I didn’t want to lose her over the dumb thoughts and feelings in my head. When she finally made me sit down and tell her what was up I basically told her everything. She knew my history, how bad my ex was, and that things between us were incredible and kept trying to reassure me how normal it was to feel that way. She cracked jokes and apologized for her “slut” phase and then without even promoting or trying to steer the conversation in that direction she straight looked at me and said “if you want to fuck other chicks that’s fine, can I help” and I was completely stunned. She told me she knew how serious we were and it wasn’t like I was trying to spice things up or save the relationship, she respected that I talked to her about my feelings and didn’t just cheat on her.

This is still a very new idea to me and it’s not some guarantee of something I plan to follow through with anytime soon but hearing and knowing she’s willing to emotionally deal with something like that for my benefit because I can’t seem to get over those feelings of missing out is just absolutely crazy to me. I never in a million years expected to have anything come out of that conversation other than a break up or at the least very seriously messing with my girls head with those thoughts and ideas of me wanting to be with another woman. I’ve just been looking at her and wondering why she actually likes me and continuously doubting how real our love actually is because it’s just such a new feeling to me.

We have already established a few “rules” for if it does happen and I fully respect them. I won’t dip into our friends or friends of friends circle just to keep things unmessy, she is willing to help me with profiles on an app (suggestions for apps or key phrases for profiles would help). And the only other thing she mentioned was having a conversation before I do anything and a conversation after to see how I am with it. I think these are totally reasonable but I’m also willing to read more information on setting safe boundaries and things in case it’s something that ever does develop into something.

They actually seem to be going about it the right way, even if maybe for the wrong reasons. I'm skeptical mostly because of how many paragraphs he spent on the backstory and then his own feelings rather than the two sentences about how she wants to help and her insistence on the one thing that can make it work: conversation.

It's also funny how a forum that is so insistent on not talking over women never can figure out that women have the same sexual hangups as men do.

That Magic Sarah is almost certainly a ding dang dirty troll, come on lads

It's Reeeeesetera...she could quite fathomably be just a regular mental case.

Idk the jewish thing in particular makes me suspect it might be some 4chan/farms type larking around

Why do poly people need a support group?

Self-diagnosis Twitter is full of people who are adding being Jewish to their identities, few of them seem to actually practice it. They really like invoking it before talking about how much they hate Israel.

Aww, look at them, just as stupid as their old forum

Nah, the avatar in the Nintendo Forum gives away that is a troll.

This convo is really going places btw 

Anti-theism is bigotry because most religions are not similar to Christianity(including the Abrahamic ones). Equating us with Christianity is wrong because it accomplishes Evangelism's goal of erasing others cultures and colonizing us.

Thank you. I have always been anti-theist, and criticized all religions pretty much equally, and considered the vast majority of organized religions to be systems of oppression in one way or another regardless of their origin. I never realized until today I was doing harm to oppressed minorities when taking a stance against religions outside of Christianity. Thank you again for opening my eyes.

What do you know about how Jews study the Torah, or how we feel about Gd? If you are not part of a marginalized culture, you have no right to criticize it [USER=127893]Lightsong[/USER]

Nah, miss me with this "no true Scotsman" guff. ALL religions are codified rules of conduct and ethics that enforce uniformity and compliance. Chuds and right-wing assholes will use anything to further put religious minorities in the west under their control and oppression, but that is not an excuse to avoid calling out their harmful beliefs, contradictions and oppressions in turn.

A MAJOR part of Judaism is questioning your faith in authority and religion. This is why white goyim shouldn't criticize cultures they aren't a part of

Anti-theism is inherently bigotry and not a marginalized identity. Also many anti-theists are Nazis and fascists masquerading as "Classical Liberals"

New to keep an eye on? 

And these are the fucking lunatics that want that guy to lose his job for liking tweets on twitter

How dare he think that's an absurd take. Fire him! Also cancel culture doesn't exist

So what are the black people who thought it was wrong then? Daring a headline to actually just call them uncle tom’s

Again, not out of place at all for these people on Twitter.
