I've said ir before but there's a difference between saying "Goddamn I loved Wakanda Forever glad it did well" than going "WOOOO LETITIA WON'T MISS FUCK YEAH QUEEN" completely ignoring what she has said and done.

It's the same reason why I take issue with Top Gun stans, it's never about the actual Top Gun film, its about fellatio-ing Xenu Prime.

Same here, it's not about Avatar or it's content. It's all about Cameron.

The films they like are massively successful and yet they are so perpetually insecure that they resort to calling people who don’t like the films “losers”.

It’s ironic.

 

Another day. Another Cheerleading thread.

It's pretty clear what's happening with those threads.

I don't think anyone is looking for Avatar talk to be banned. Cameron is obviously not Rowling or anything like that.

But given that there is already an OT for the movie and a separate OT specifically for its box office performance, making a brand new thread each time it passes by another film on the all-time list kind of flies in the face of the real and legitimate discussion surrounding the film's issues with cultural appropriation.

MCU salt.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/why-does-gaming-culture-often-seem-to-lean-conservative-when-millennials-and-gen-z-statistically-do-not.680755/

So I want to preface this by saying I do not have statistical data to back up my thoughts on this, this is purely a thought process based on personal lived experience and anecdotal evidence.

That said, I have noticed for a long time that with regards to younger generations (millennials/Gen Z) many of the most conservative people I have ever known are the same type of people who would also refer to themselves as “Hardcore” gamers.

In times in which I have interacted with some communities like Pokémon, the FGC, many genre hyper fans in the PC community, that there is always a push to remain isolated, to resist any form of change or additions made concerning issues of things like diversity or accessibility, to thumb their nose at any game that may not directly target hyper masculine power fantasies, how some seemingly loathe the idea of having any people of color, feminine or LGBTQIA’s+ protagonists in their favourite series. These issues can also be seen in other closely regarded forms of media like comics and anime.

Lots of large studies have shown that in general millennials and younger are not skewing to the right in the way that previous generations have, and there is a lot of evidence to support that claim. However, time and time again we see parts of the gaming community abuse, threaten and demean devs/creators/streamers who attempt to make gaming arguably a higher form of entertainment, to bring more diverse characters and stories to the medium, to allow more types of people to play and feel comfortable doing so.

I have a lot of thoughts on this topic, but to keep the OP from getting a little too long I’ll simply ask, in your experience would you agree that gaming culture seems to lean further to the right than other media fandoms and if that has been your experience why do you feel that it does?

[benjipwns]

  A lot of trans folks left this site because of the way things were handled in the past and I personally don't feel that things have improved on that front enough to just have faith that the right decisions will be made, especially when the community is not allowed to weigh in when something is platformed here.

A lot of trans folk left? That’s news to me because it seems like every day some random ass member is suddenly trans or non binary. Something that is weird given that is supposed to be less than 1.00% of all the world.

That's because it's one of the few safe spaces for them on the internet, even though it's also murderously unsafe that just shows how completely unsafe the rest of the internet is.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/j-k-rowling-and-her-legacy-of-hate-the-uk-gender-critical-movement.643740/page-35#post-100387435

Rowling supports and defends and gives platforms to multiple people that have outright advocated for genocide and said all trans people should be murdered

While I loved all of this rant and while I love this specific part what really caught my eye is the claim that Joanne "gives platforms" which I guess consists of her talking to people on Twitter because I have no idea what else this could possibly be referring to? It gives the impression that a woman (TERF BITCH) who basically never appears in public is leading rallies all over like Trump or something.

My mom and one of her cousins were sharing stories about Navajo boarding schools over dinner.

It sickens me that they would use a real event like that and compare it to something like this.

Just to score a cheap shot against Cameron.  It's a version of this.

There are also plenty of natives that don't post there because it's "toxic."

Nobody who cares about indigenous issues is making these comparisons. It’s white guys on era appropriating struggles of a people as ammo for fanboy shit.

Hard to feel any sort of way about it. If you’ve posted on forums for years now, you know the game. You can tag the bullshit. Difference is in old forum culture, people would call out the dumbasses, clown of them, make jokes. Goes with how humorless and boring they’ve become. Imagine that honor and shame post about Final Fantasy 13 Xbox these days. They’d double down and claim denying it is nipponophobia. Ban anybody who laughed at it.

Going nuclear over a silly wizards game. Getting mad that a rapist who transitioned just before conviction isn't going to a women's prison. Going to bat for that Canadian teacher wearing cartoonishly large fake tits in front of under aged students. There are some times when you just need to step away and not reflexively defend "your side" regardless of situation and context. Just because a story involves a trans person doesn't mean you are then obligated to shut off your brain and blindly take their side.

In other words, learn to pick your battles, dumb dumbs.

I mean sure. That's fine if they want to regress trans acceptance and it becoming an insular online thing. What do they think the public would think when they see trans people going to bat to put a rapist in a woman's prison? Or defend a MtF teacher dressing ridiculously in front of students? Trying to guilt-trip the public to universally accept everything a trans person does--regardless of context--is a recipe for disaster and abuse.

[benjipwns]

They reject incrementalism as conceding to the chuds, the only path is always an immediate revolution to the most extreme form of delusional utopia.

As an anarchist libertarian I'm quite familiar with this idea (except that the utopia is proven scientific fact) as many otherwise smart anarchists completely lose their shit at the idea of ever conceding to statists even as the ratchet of the state has only progressed in one direction while they've demanded purity and the "traitors" they scoff at (Hayek and Friedman most notably) were the only ones to ever receive mainstream attention and acceptance and get any ideas against that ratchet into the larger discourse. I admit I'm naturally inclined to incrementalism and evolution over revolution but I've never quite understood the argument that forcing the "contradictions" to the forefront (especially violently) will lead to the result you want, it's not historically supported at all (seriously try to find the examples) and, in the specific anarchist case, nor can I square the arguments against central planning as not applying to a centrally planned revolution for establishing a new system which seems like a pretty fatal conceit to me.

They're going into bat, because this person is everything they have always said doesn't exist in the trans community. A person who has used their self-proclaimed trans status to access women in women-only spaces and then to abuse, assault and rape them. This is who Joanne (TERF bitch) has warned us against, this is who all the right wing chudds warned us against, this is who the everyday person in the street who doesn't understand trans issues, is worried about. They can't admit this person is who everyone else can see they are because that would shatter everything their whole twisted philosophy and power system is built on.

A mother-of-two who earns Ł100,000 a month through the adult content platform OnlyFans has pledged to help out low-income families by buying houses to rent out at an affordable price. Rebecca Goodwin told her followers that she intends to start an "affordable housing scheme" using the earnings she has made on the adult content platform.

Can Ree control their seething jealousy and restrain themselves from being total cunts to a woman trying to help others? Lol. No.

i dont know if we should be applauding landlordism even if the goal is to be an affordable landlord. like why cant she just gift some houses

she mentions that she’s doing it so that when she dies her kids can sell it off, probably for a nice profit. It’s an investment at the end of the day.

Would be really cool if they were rent-to-own.

Larry David conflicted dot gif. Big landlord giving a sale to people who need it. This is not a grand slam feel good story in my opinion. As others mentioned they are still in it for investment and inheritance.

Yeah, these two things kind of...put something of a damper on this. While, on one level, if it really helps people who have no home have an affordable home that's great. On another level, if it is just something to create generational wealth, it makes me wonder what exactly she's going to do to maintain these places and what the real priority is going to be at the end of the day if things start becoming difficult to manage.

Glad I'm not the one looking for a place to buy in her area. Rich people buying up the limited resources and contributing to common folk staying renters forever.

Nope fuck this, she would be doing rent to own if this was true goodness.

Thank goodness someone is buying up properties to rent out and leave to their kids to profit from in the future despite making a million+ per year.

she making 100K a month she can legit help people not create a landlord business to make even more wealth

Yeah this is just somebody running an ad for their OF + smokescreen on being a landlord

There's a pretty good austin walker article posted by a few posters in there, which explains the reaction against this kind of writing - thats its writing by someone who thinks they're too good for the medium they in fact actually fucking write in and the audience can pick up on that.
Which echoes true, and also to various writers in various different mediums - "I'm too good for this shit, even though this shit seems to be the only gig I can get, so I will snark about this as shit".

Absolutely nothing you, or anyone else, can say or do, is going to convince me that getting someone else to pay you, not because of any good or service you provide, but because you are in a position to restrict their access to something, which should be a universal human right, is a reasonable thing to do.

A landlord provides nothing. They are in the business of extracting wealth and nothing more. Parasitic is exactly the word to describe them.

Houses cost money to build and to maintain.
You believe you deserve to own one for free not because of any good or service you provide, but because you have dogmatic faith in your ideology and admit you will not listen to reason.

After sitting on this for a few days myself, I honestly think this is worth a discussion. Specifically, the following:

What makes the cheesy dialogue work in HiFi Rush vs Forspoken?
Are we even in agreement here that both games contain cheesy dialogue?
The elephant in the room: Do you feel there is another "angle" at play here? (Racial, misogynistic, etc)
Does the artstyle play any role in how dialogue is interpreted? (Not a joke question as I keep seeing this get brought up, so here we are).

People went from citing racist YouTubers for their criticism of the game, to citing Austin’s essay, and we’re supposed to not notice I guess? I haven't seen one of ya'll making Austin’s argument in the year leading up to Forspoken's release.

Instead, we've had months of yelling about women cursing. Invocations of light novels, YA books, CW shows. I even saw a Lisa Frank mention in reference to the magic. And now we've got a slew of reviews calling the MC abrasive, aggressive, harsh, unlikable, unrelatable, etc.

Silly Era, you should know the difference:

Not Cringe
Male character making jokes.


Very Cringe
Black woman making jokes
Muslim girl going to high school and being a fangirl
Asian girl just being a completely normal loud teenager
Green female lawyer making jokes OR saying she's used to control anger
Blonde woman being stoic and powerful in a superhero movie.

You know, if the mods had any consistency they'd maybe reprimand some people for constantly arguing in bad faith. How can you have a discussion about Forspoken when any critic you voice is met with "actually you're racist but you don't admit it"

FWIW Nu Saints Row also bombed for being - as the yoots say - 'Mid' and also 'Cringe'

Asian girl just being a completely normal loud teenager

Anyone know which piece of Disney media this is referring to?

Disney's "Turning Red" I assume. Which had one negative review from an old white dude who said he can't relate to an Asian teenage girl, which in this case is a bad thing to say, but a totally okay thing to say if he had been the author of a book that focuses on Asians characters

So literally all of the examples was Disney shit except for Forspoken where she’s basically an R-rated version of one anyway. They are actual children

You can almost taste the soy when you see a clip of Forspoken's dialogue.

Im seriously pissed. Im not an online gamer, was happy to get my PS5 to play this game, but this is such a downer for me, no single player, need to pay a monthly fee for online like a freakin MMO, yes i am disappointed. You? Does this affect your decision to get it on console of your not an online player yourself?

About the Calli stuff, after reading a lot of hate online, whether legitimate or not, it’s gotten to the point that I’m scared to reveal to people and even other vtuber fans that I enjoy her music for fear people will get mad at me or make fun of me or something.

And that is cancel culture.
