I really don't understand what's going on in this forum anymore sometimes. Too many members are allowed to run free and derail threads with all kinds of hyper aggressive bullshit. Some people want to have a discussion about certain problematic elements in these movies, which is fine, but what discussion can be had when from the start their argument is "you're a literal piece of shit if you disagree with me in any way"? Seeing the same crew of people actively and consistently trying to shame people on a personal level for liking Avatar is pathetic behavior, and surprise surprise it doesn't make me want to engage with any of them.

Have you ever been to a "serious" thread on this forum with low engagement with a bunch of posters going "WHY ISN'T ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THIS? WHY ARE PEOPLE AVOIDING THIS THREAD?". That Avatar thread was a microcosm of one of the biggest problems on this place, and a perfect representation for why many users do not engage in serious discussions. It is literally impossible to interface with people on a variety of subjects without them taking every single thing you say in bad faith, or drawing an arbitrary line in the sand where anyone who crosses it is automatically supporting the "opposition".

As a gay black man (I hate having to qualify myself on here, but I do it so I won't get banned), I agree with the general discourse of the concept of Avatar being questionable (putting it lightly) in terms of race and I agree even more with the sentiment that there is something off about the new cast of characters not having as much of the black and indigenous casting choices that the first one did. But the fact that you can post the most innocuous thread about Avatar's BO success on here and immediately get the most aggressive and accusatory responses possible is not good for discussion or fostering any kind of community.

If you have to emphasize your minority status in the hopes it will save you from a banning, then it sort of tells you about the quality of the moderation, doesn't it?

[Pissy F Benny]

the moderation policy seems to be basically, if you are a minority whatever you say will be taken the gospel truth, no matter how stupid, ignorant or outright insane it is, the more minority statuses you have the more true it is!

I got linked to a Jordan Peterson video on YouTube once. Amazing how many videos were in my recommendations for months in which people "destroy" others on YouTube. You'd think with all this destruction going on, that the victims' arguments would no longer hold water and the debate would be over...but alas, those same people who were destroyed have also got a million videos in which they too have destroyed those people who destroyed them.

I like to call it the viscous circle of internet destruction in which no argument really gets destroyed as nobody who is supposedly destroyed (nor their fans) ever watch anything from the so-called destroyer.

[ShutUp]

Oh Neppy.

White male saviorism will always be culturally relevant so long as white men are on top of the food chain.

So buckle up.

I'm so glad it turns out racism and cultural appropriation aren't irrelevant!

One side is definitely invested in the success of the film because they like James Cameron and the franchise as a piece of entertainment, and thus don't take kindly to people underestimating or dismissing the series as a result.

The other side is full of Indigenous folks and other empathetic people of color wondering why we as a society thought it was a good idea to reward a Noble Savage/White Saviorism film with the highest box office gross of all time.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm methinks these sides aren't equivalent in their passion.

LMFAO WHAT!? Ignoring cold hard truths because you're uncomfortable with them is the OPPOSITE of discourse.

Are you fucking for real!? Holy shit...

Funny how these terms only apply to these two specific rich white assholes.

The parasocial relationship people have with James Cameron is wild. No ones going to apologize for making fun of his noble savage fantasy films.

Sure thing, poster on THE Marvel Defense Force board on the internet! Your thoughts on the new Black Panther being transphobic?

Thanks for pointing out that white people are free to choose to ignore criticism of two white male celebrities

People are allowed to ignore racism and cults to stan a movie is a take

And there are more of these, Neppy. So tell us, if you and your cult ARE NOT saying seeing the movie is racist and only for white people, what exactly ARE all these quotes saying?

Should’ve probably nuked that thread from existence to avoid receipts, you idiot.

basic gestalt: chuck lorre and anyone involved in the big bang theory are essentially war criminals.

Numerous posters (who all frequent MCU movie threads, of course)had the knives all sharpened when the new Avatar had “low” numbers opening weekend, were flaunting it and taking weird pot shots at Cameron and co.

Fast forward to now and it’s hilariously salty posts like this in that locked culturally irrelevant thread because people are having fun and throwing their words back at them

You can tell it really hit a nerve with the Avatar/James Cameron fans. If you check the box office OT, the fans have basically been repeating this same joke for the past two weeks.

People who had to hear “culturally irrelevant” for 13 years having some fun with the weird attitude towards a fun movie? I guess Era would know about repeating jokes over and over. Oh look another Morbius thread just popped up!

Its hilarious that the only thing people consistently talk about with this franchise is money lol. It making money isn't some gotcha for the culturally irrelevant crowd.

Not really, as evident by the great word of mouth it’s clearly showing. General audiences are checking it out and don’t care about how much it’s making. Though over 4 billion dollars and counting across just two movies 13 years apart IS impressive.

Yep. Transparent and hilarious. If you get your feelings hurt by something-the best thing to do is let everyone know it hurt your feelings. Don't put it in the paper that it hurt your feelings.

Person who is totally not mad tells others THEY are the ones being transparent and having hurt feelings, not him.

They let that become their entire personality.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I've been kind of mulling my thoughts around for a few days after seeing it and all these things just added up as a bunch of little choices that probably aren't much of a big deal on their own, but by about half-way through the movie just really started to bother me. Even having moments where Spider is in a cage hissing and the marines are looking at him in a monitor like, "He's become feral!" when he's not even part Navi, he's just a normal ass human role playing as his idea of a wild animal indigenous alien, or needing Neytiri to become hysterical and violent about her kids while Jake Sully is this level-headed father bringing his "civilized" (best way I can think to describe the dynamics at that point) parenting as a counter to the "hysterical woman" and "wild savage" tropes it was just like hints of these tropes rearing their head in ways that just made me think that they didn't have to frame these scenes in the way they did but they still chose to do that.

This is like reading TV Tropes.  Total vibes of a  first year film studies major who wrote a 18 page essay that was only supposed to be 4.

And then you get asides like this

I'm reminded about how LEGO approached their cultural appropriation controversy with the "Bionicle" line I like to collect so much. The Maori people raised their voices about the use and commercialization of their language for a Toy Line. LEGO met with Maori representatives early on and agreed to change the terms and names for the characters named after spiritually charged concepts, while other more mundane words (such as "Ice" or "Warrior") were okay'd. The situation was resolved in good terms.

After that LEGO was careful to not use any existing languages without consent for toylines and drafted a code of conduct on the matter.

I'm not saying LEGO were benevolent saints in this, quite the contrary

Bitch, I'm a Black American.

I'm not a bitch, so try be fucking polite, being a yank won't get you anywhere with that attitude.

Hmmm... gendered slur, misgendering, and hostility towards another member.
Will Restera ban NepNep?

Morricunt is in there and the pile on is happening. Supkid is not long for the Reeeeesetera world

Will the left admit that without Elon Musk ending Twitter censorship Andrew Tate would not have posted evidence to incriminate himself?

Yeah, this strikes me as a joke that's flown over the OP's head. But we gotta be the first to get the outrage going.

Damn.  Calling out ZeoVgm and RedMercury.  All while Nepethe runs around throwing shit fits and challenging people to knife fights.

Then maybe you should start banning people perpetuating that attitude, B-Dumbs. Banning people like ZeoVagina, Red Mercury, Incelsheets, and Nexon would be great starts in that regard.

This is an old RPG trope.
For example in Terranigma there's a Quintet Development office. I think MegaMan Battle Network had a few things like this as well.

In any case the best of these is the "Logbox 720" level in Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts and especially the DLC "L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges" nobody played.
The entire thing is basically a meta commentary on the inner works of Rare and Microsoft at that time. It's fucking hilarious.

We're here drawing conclusions based on an Easter egg that reads like a joke. If some of the devs come out and say, "Yeah dev was fucked up" then I'll trumpet it. But given the number of times people have jumped to conclusions based on absolutely no facts it's probably worth taking with a grain of salt. Especially when social media trains us all to engage with the world in the most inflammatory way possible.

B-dubs again acting like he didn't foster this community

User Banned (3 Months): Advocating for assassination, previous severe ban for inflammatory rhetoric

There's a hundred-million dollar black market in smuggling Western components to Russia. A number of shady enterprises funnel Intel/AMD/Qualcomm/etc. chips to the Russians. And it's super difficult to legally catch them, since they go through several shell companies.
Frankly, I'm all for taking a leaf out of the Mossad handbook and giving the Gerald Bull treatment to a couple of the more prominent CEOs of said companies. Y'know, pour encourager les autres.

[Taco Bell Tower]

To everyone insisting this is a joke... okay, let's say it's a joke. What's the joke?
What's the angle where this is funny?

Talk about jumping the gun. The dev team has made jokes throughout development about the feature creep and delays caused by the sequel massively expanding in scope. Even the delay trailer joked around with it.

OP has been hating on the game since it launched in a non perfect state and guess this was too good an opportunity to give them another kick despite it being a big old pile of assumption pie.

This is something that would fit perfectly within the scope of their writing / history with the development of this game (the troubled nature of which they've already been referencing)

Wonder if OP will go out of his way to apologise to the devs team for any harm caused - especially if other outlets pick this up without waiting for any comment. You'd have thought the Bayonetta 3 stuff would have people being more cautious to pile on

While I don't agree with everything he raises as an issue, I find it hard to imagine that ZeoVGM is lashing out because he hates this one particular game when he posts things like this thread all the damn time.

I don't know their history so can't comment on large. Maybe just going out of their way to be negative about anything I guess

Nobody here's expecting you to read through every post made by ZeoVGM, but let's maybe refrain from calling their character into question over them expressing concern over (potential) development issues.

[Shuri]

the dregs of the internet are really feasting on that lukewarm andrew tate v greta thunberg beef eh?

I got linked to a Jordan Peterson video on YouTube once. Amazing how many videos were in my recommendations for months in which people "destroy" others on YouTube. You'd think with all this destruction going on, that the victims' arguments would no longer hold water and the debate would be over...but alas, those same people who were destroyed have also got a million videos in which they too have destroyed those people who destroyed them.

I like to call it the viscous circle of internet destruction in which no argument really gets destroyed as nobody who is supposedly destroyed (nor their fans) ever watch anything from the so-called destroyer.

I met someone who works at one of those agencies for Social Media Influencers, and she explained how a lot of online conflicts between influencers were 100% staged. Smaller names would pay money to bigger names and they would get tons of exposure and hits from it. It's stage like wrestling, withj meetings and shit, every Social media post or commentsis pre-planned, pre-approved. It was pretty wild to hear this.

The agency she worked managed lifestyle influencers, stuff like tiktok moms and all that stuff.

I would not be surprised if all those big american names are not doing the same thing.

Is this misgendering?

He knows that the Secretary of Transportation isn't like some god-king who is supposed to manage every day-to-day aspect of every transportation company right? He's only empowered to do what he can by law not like address every potential complaint anyone could have about anything.

People are allowed to ignore racism and cults to stan a movie is a take

Interesting word choice, Nepenthe.

While we're clearing the air, Black Americans LOL at the idea of being "yanks", the white population doesn't include us in that.

NepNep

No I fucking didn't. I live in Atlanta.

How the fuck did you get that from anything I said? Did you just not understand the difference between racial identity and national identity and just melt down?

What is wrong with you?

These people are so fucking dumb, and so angry that other people are not as dumb as they are.

ZeoVagina

This feels a bit unfair. I mean, there's an actual indie developer in this thread saying that they don't believe it was meant as a joke.

And there was no intent of outrage or anger when I made the thread. I don't think I had any such tone in the OP. It was mentioned by someone else in the OT and I thought it was worth putting a spotlight on. Nothing more.
