Notice nobody has created threads about good indigenous films or works of any kind so that people can experience them

this is because making a statement that something is good makes you responsible for that stance, and someone WILL call it problematic, which means you're problematic too

name something good right now

is it nachos? you're a fucking cultural appropriator, you don't have a claim on boredfrom's indigenous foods

is it hamburgers? what compelled you to choose a US imperialistic food rather than something diverse, like nachos?

Growing up we had the Encore! channel and they would show old cowboy vs. indian movies from the 60's made by Disney.  The indians always talking like Slayven.  "Me Want two go home four sea my ant who baked a Π."

Now they make several $400 million movies where the indians beat the cowboys and make the invaders look like royal bitches. Of course royal bitch viewers get mad and say it's not cool for the indians to like nature?  Or to like whales?  Because that's a stereotype?

I think I know what "stay in your own lane," means now.

Only because the social media algorithms have promoted a culture in which you gain social status for identifying the political crimes of others they've revealed through mundane, common and often required informal decisions.

It's time for the monthly TLOU 2 thread where ree pretends to be some naive innocent who doesn't understand why some people didn't like it, but somehow knows all those critics are chuds -

Quote
I know chuds are going to be chuds, but what in the flying fuck is the controversy here? A minor character is trans? Joel dies? They humanize a group of people who seem like monsters at the start of the game. They turn the mirror on Ellie and show that she's actually pretty terrible herself?


https://www.resetera.com/threads/lttp-the-last-of-us-part-2-this-was-controversial-spoilers.673777/

I played it when it came out so it's been a minute. But isn't everyone Ellie killed done so in self-defense in outright combat situations and all her friends volunteered to come with her on her revenge mission? And she's seeking revenge on the person that slowly and brutally murdered her father figure in front of her? I'm not seeing really any terribleness from Ellie here.

even if ellie isn't terrible, that's the message the devs hamfistedly try to jam into your brain

see, because revenge is bad, for any reason, and if you try to get revenge then you'll lose some of your fingers and you won't be able to play the guitar anymore and can't even cherish the memory of the person you were fighting for and what he taught you, because revenge is bad
Fucking hell, people think this is good writing?

Gamers™ really are the worst and Sony Ponies the worst of them all.

Dude..

“Count of Montecristo is about a salty escaped convict that wants revenge, gets a lot of money, kills a child and discover that revenge is bad”.

I don’t even like the Last of Us but minimizing the plot like that? There is a lot of legit criticism beyond making the plot sound stupid because didn’t work for you.
Haven't played it (Part 1 was boring as fuck) so I'm really just laughing in the shitbin thread on this one...BUUUUUT, the futility of revenge is an age-old storytelling device that goes back to ancient Egyptian times and probably earlier.

However, if using the loss of fingers and the subsequent loss of the ability to play guitar to remember that person by is the narrative hook they've gone with, especially after using the guitar thing in so much of the pre-release media, then I guess my dismissiveness of the quality of the writing is not misplaced.

Yeah, and that’s why bitching about the futility the revenge as a story is like throwing obscenities at the sun: is also futile. What you can argue is that is not a particularly good story or the game suffers from it.

Also, losing her fingers is pretty much at the end of the game… like, that is the point dude.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
obvioisly, you could also point out that is still manipulative and that she could learn to play guitar in another way.

With friends and family in indigenous leadership and cultural arts positions of power and influence, I tend to value their input more than random avatars on a messageboard who tend not to speak to who they're really trying to communicate to. It's often gross and ham-fisted and entirely too absurd to even comment on. You can be concerned with those issues and still enjoy a well made entertainment. Or not. Choose your own adventure.
Quote
Yeah, especially when these arguments are being loudly blasted by those who were against the film from day 0 or Faithless posting obsessively in this thread... it's hard for me to take those posters as seriously concerned about indigenous issues and not more just invested in the films downfall. Cameron is nowhere near JK Rowling status in terms of intent and bigotry, but you wouldn't think otherwise being on Era sometimes. This isn't to excuse the legit problems he has or the films appropriation.

This thread is kind of amazing. Some twat shot a 13 yr old. Ree were denied their chance to scream about racists. So in their desperate need for moral outrage and virtue signalling they've started peddling conspiracy theories that the shooter is a cop

Quote
Could the home owner be an off duty cop?

Quote
DCist reports that the homeowner wasn’t retired law enforcement, but I don’t know if that dances around off duty or not.

Quote
Really hoping this guy wasn't an off duty cop, since cops are being very tight lipped the identity of the shooter.

Quote
I won't be shocked when we find out he was a cop.

had a dumb thought earlier maybe a little relevant to this thread

are "ethnic" accents in entertainment media racist? because they portray non-white people as sounding funny and/or too stupid to learn how to pronounce things properly?

I was thinking about this because of Beyond Good and Evil, you have an AI companion man

he is coded as generically suave european archetype and uses both spanish and italian, including actually made up spanish words like problemo

he always calls you Yade instead of Jade

to have one of the main voiced characters be constantly mispronouncing your name is an active choice someone on the dev team made

they didn't have to make it look like spanish italians are incapable of pronouncing J's, but they thought it would make a better game to do so

thanks for educating me

it's good to learn that whatever trans positive attitudes anyone may hold translate into actually not caring about them at all if you make a one-time purchase of a progressive, inclusive, mostly shovelware video game

maybe tomorrow I'll start actively hating indigenous peoples by watching a movie that casts expies of them as pure stewards of nature who fight imperialism and capitalism

Not really an indigenous film, but they might enjoy Clearcut (1991).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearcut_(film)
Quote
Clearcut is a 1991 Canadian horror-thriller film[2][3] directed by Ryszard Bugajski and starring Graham Greene, Floyd Red Crow Westerman, Ron Lea, and Michael Hogan. It follows a white lawyer in an unnamed Canadian province who finds his values shaken when he meets an angry Indigenous activist who insists on kidnapping the head of a logging company clearcutting on native land.

Filmed in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and based on the novel A Dream Like Mine (1987) written by M. T. Kelly, it covers complex subject matter such as the land rights of indigenous peoples in Canada, pacifism, colonialism, and environmentalism. Greene, known for his prolific work, including the critically acclaimed Dances with Wolves, is quoted as saying this is his favorite movie in which he has acted.[4]

Through making Clearcut, Bugajski stated that he set out to portray the issues that he saw existing with pacifism. By forcing the viewer to consider the arguments of the characters alongside their actions he hoped to show the viewer the complexity of these issues where good and evil is not so easily divided.[5]

second one: on the surface yeah she's apparently too nerdy to know what the word means. but "420 is code for adults who still watch cartoons." how would you use that in a sentence? "I was talking to this guy the other day and I could tell he was a 420." "don't argue with the 420s online." no one ever uses 420 in that context so it doesn't make sense that she could've gotten that impression

it's a half-formed idea that ends up being nonsense

here's how it should've gone: "uh, yeah, that's code for the time everyone rushes home to watch those adult cartoons, right?" that would demonstrate naivete about what everyone is actually running off to do

"Stoners are the people that like adult cartoons."

Quote from: Nepenthe
Literally no one reported it, and it was self-edited by the member in question before it was brought to our attention here. We say this all the time: if you feel someone is way out of pocket, report it so it can be brought to staff's attention in a timely manner.

Ah yes, nobody "Submitted a Ticket" for it.  And it was later edited.  Because once you edit a post you can't be banned for what you said. 

Hahah, and timely manner.  Jackass, you just had a therad where you banned people for things they said over three months ago. 

Era "Tickets,"

Nepenthe is always to first to tell others to firebomb the parking dept. for facist behavior and then turn around and say order, justice, and proper paperwork must prevail.

This is impossible. All fictional cultures are taken from real world cultures, ideas, etc. No idea is born in a vacuum. Every single fictional race, culture, religion, etc has its influences taken straight from human civilization.
This is exactly right. Using 10 foot blue people with feline features who neurologically connect to other animals and the sentient planet hasn't prevented people from feeling that there is cultural appropriation an Avatar.

:cop User Banned (1 Month): Inflammatory comparisons in a thread regarding Indigenous stereotypes, previous ban for similar dismissivenes
Quote from: MR2
Quote from: purplemonkey111
Doesn't matter how many are or are not offendee. If even 1 person is offended then its wrong
So we should listen to the religious right, conservatives, Irans leadership etc, etc etc. ?

The fact that someone can type this out as a rule and hit send before realizing how stupid it is is just mind-boggling. Not even the dumbest people on the planet should take more than 1 second to realize how unworkable it is.

:cop User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissing Concerns of Cultural Appropriation
Quote from: breakdancing duck
Quote from: subpar spatula
This is impossible. All fictional cultures are taken from real world cultures, ideas, etc. No idea is born in a vacuum. Every single fictional race, culture, religion, etc has its influences taken straight from human civilization.
This is exactly right. Using 10 foot blue people with feline features who neurologically connect to other animals and the sentient planet hasn't prevented people from feeling that there is cultural appropriation an Avatar.

this sounds like someone making the exact opposite point of dismissal

worded another way:

"yes you're right that everything is derivative. which includes avatar, dingus. people are allowed to be offended by it."

:cop User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissive Commentary Around Cultural Appropriation

Doesn’t sound any different than teens and adults who go dressed up in traditional Japanese garb to japantown in SF and walk around the plaza.

"Cultural appropriation" is in my top 3 favorite things to be dismissive about.

Oh that fucking weirdo Lujan lmao. I'm always amazed seeing people actually think that she's doing some sort of recruiting mission and that they've uncovered some sort of psy-op as opposed to her being exactly what she appears to be, a bored and lonely girl that figured out what gets her attention on TikTok.

weirdly eras deep concerns about 'cultural appropriation' never approach any threads about the Wachowskis who made their name drawing heavily on hong kong cinema in the Matrix, white washed an entire anime in Speed Racer, and both culturally appropriated indigenous peoples AND straight up yellow faced in Cloud Atlas.

I wonder why.

Well, there is something deeply wrong with you as a filmmaker if you are not culturally appropriating influenced by other nations' most impressive works.  But most people know that.  It's only Era-types that can't grasp how cultural transfer works.

I'm pretty sure Neoxon was a crazy Nintenyearold on old GAF. On the same level as that dumb Pokemon guy who said low sales for Nintendo games aren't actually low when Japan has warm weather. That's the only thing I remember his name from, at least.

He's now a self appointed (and unemployable) "diversity analyst" who gets butt hurt about Japanese and childrens games not meeting his diversity standards :lol

He has a specific obsession with Sakuari. Dude probably has a Travis Bickle style mechanism for his joy cons.

If this is true, then 'actual progressives' who meet the correct standards don't have anything to complain about when it comes to their lack of power, because at that point, they're a really small part of the Congressional caucus who shouldn't have outsized power.
I mean I don't have delusions about that. We can continue to be one of the worst countries in the world and don't change anything, or maybe try to be civilized.
