Given the judgemental and accusatory tone of both of your posts, will you return to the thread to address this? Or will you ignore it and continue pretending that he is being persecuted for being Christian?

The truth is that Pratt might be one of the kindest people in Hollywood and nice to everyone around him. But being nice to the people around you doesn't give you a pass on following far right groups and vile bigots on social media. That says something about the content you take in. He follows Ben Shapiro because he likes Ben Shapiro.I'm not personally on the "fuck Chris Pratt" train because he isn't outwardly a bigot. I know he posted support of BLM back in 2020. But when that support is greatly overshadowed by also supporting people and groups who are against it, criticism is absolutely deserved.He could use his platform to truly make a stand and say what he believes in. Raise money for trans causes, speak up against gun violence and for our need for gun reform, etc. (Like his fellow MCU co-stars Mark Ruffalo and Don Cheadle do.) But he doesn't.

RIP to the victims. Another day, another shooting. It's a dumpster fire here in this country. Seriously, if I were still young or in school, I would be doing everything I could to get a degree in a field that let would let me escape this warzone.It's so hard, as an adult, not to prescribe to the Albert Camus school of existential absurdism. No one is going to save us in this country. No laws will be passed banning guns. Countless more will die, because the country is an oligarchy ruled by Christian nationalist neo-fascists and enablers of late stage capitalism. Even another civil war to end gun rights would not solve anything, because the country would become a balkanized hodgepodge of extremist militias and fractured, destroyed conclaves of war refugees and regions.Your best bet is to try to get out and live true to yourself somewhere without guns where we can all watch the climate apocalypse happen and at least try to have fun in these last few decades or so that we have left. Sorry to be a downer, but I have little hope left.
Want to hear something fucked up? What it's like living in America? I'm sitting here in my living room on a beautiful Sunday afternoon on my day off. The birds are chirping. It's sunny out. The pets are all snuggled on the couch. I'm about to play some video games and drink my first cup of coffee.What's wrong with that, you might ask? I live in the rural country. Trump land. There's apparently a shooting range somewhere within a few miles. I'm just sitting here reading this thread trying not to angry cry and all I can hear faintly in the distance is *pop*.... *pop*.....*pop*....*pop*....*pop*....*pop*...I stopped counting at 35 shots. No one bats an eye here. It's the sound of a Sunday afternoon in America. One day the sound might be followed by screams, but for now no one even notices. "Listen dad, the guns are singing. Isn't it beautiful?" --- I wonder if that's what everyone here is thinking.It sickens me. It sickens me that no one even minds. At least a hundred gunshots now as I type this. *Pop*...*pop*...*pop*. Faster in cadence now. They must be shooting a semi-automatic now, I think. My dog Pogo is starting to whimper. I'll need to turn the TV on soon to drown out the sound to calm him. My mind wanders to Pride next month. It's literally probably the best time of year in this town, and I cannot wait to be there supporting my partner. We both have talked about how we are scared this year.We'll all be sitting ducks if anyone decided to open fire, we've said. We need to be close to an exit at the drag show at the theater, but not too close, I said. We don't want to be the first ones shot if someone bursts through the door with a gun."Keep an eye on the overpass behind the stage at the gathering place. If you hear anything, screaming, pops --- anything --- stay low and run for cover behind the closest car and then we'll make for the cell phone store or brewery or maybe the train station. Whichever is closer. We have to be vigilant this year," we've said.We have to go though. It's the one time of year when everything feels sane and we can all just breathe. I just hope we don't die this year. This is what I'm thinking about on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in America.

It's really disappointing to see so many people assume that the torch-wielding white supremacists in the thumbnail were a reference to Yoshi-P. I can see how people would assume that it refers to Square Enix. After all, the words "Square Enix" are written on the thumbnail, so that's on me. But to assume that I was comparing a single person to an angry mob of neo-Nazis is beyond ridiculous.What really bothers me, though, is the fact that not a single person here asked for clarification. We read every single comment the channel gets. Every. Single. One. There are links to the Twitter account and the Discord server on every video. You can even email me directly. And in the past two weeks, not a single person has asked, "What exactly were you trying to say with that thumbnail?" Everybody just jumped to their own conclusions. Even those of you who correctly understood the point behind the image were so confident in your deduction that you never once questioned your reasoning.I wanna make it perfectly clear so that there's no confusion: the thumbnail was made in anticipation of the massively negative response the video received from right-wing conservatives of the Caucasian persuasion—a response I predicted back when I started planning to tackle this subject six months ago.So yeah... pretty disappointed. But maybe that's because this is the only place I've seen intelligent discussion take place regarding the subject matter of the video. So you got that going for you. Just know that you all still have a long way to go.
For what it's worth, there are a number of folks who pointed out the purpose of the thumbnail in this thread.QUOTES SLAYVEN SHIT

Personally, I’m boycotting Pratt. Have been since… let me check IMDb. Okay I might’ve seen The Tomorrow War. Man, it’s all Jurassic Park, Marvel slop, and Mario. Easy boycott. I’m the best ally.
Is there a list of banned words perhaps? I virtually never lurk in these parts of the forum so keeping up with updates is tricky, not gonna lie, the C word kinda took me by surprise (not that I used it in my posts). But I just wanna make sure gendered male counterpart that starts with D is safe as well, because that one tends to slip out sometimes.
While there isn't a list from what I know, it should be easy to just imagine any & all slurs are off-limits, especially if you're not part of the group of people who reclaimed a specific slur. Like, I'm pretty sure Black people on Era are allowed to use the n-word & I've never gotten in trouble for calling myself a dyke. So I'd personally always go by the rule of just not calling others slurs, even when it's one you reclaimed yourself! These are just ones I can think of at the moment, but I'm sure I'd be missing some that I just don't really know of:the n-word, the homophobic f-slur (both short & long version), the lesbophobic slur 'dyke', both of the transphobic t-slurs (one of which a subset of people love using for feminine men, but often gets directed at trans women in a clearly derogatory fashion considering the fucked up notion that they're "trapping" men into sleeping with them), the ableist r-slur & misogynistic slurs like bitch & cunt. Not sure if the former is treated the same as the latter, but I don't see why someone calling someone else that, especially a woman, would somehow not be bannable. I do think the latter is quite more hurtful still, but ymmv.Misandry isn't, like, an actual problem in our cisheternormative patriarchal society like misogyny, transmisogyny & misogynoir are which is why shit like dick doesn't have any real impact & isn't considered a slur for a group of marginalized people. If men would be told to stay in the kitchen, know their place, to shut up, to just suck it up, to just take some dick when they don't want to, to just ignore & get over inequality that concerns them while being called dicks in the same breath, maybe they'd have a point. But there's no systemic misandry men have to live with their whole lives, so there's no reason to think a harmless word like dick could ever even remotely be as harmful as misogynistic slurs can be. Men may get called pussies, women or homophobic shit for not being toxic masculinity incarnate, but that just wraps around to homophobia & misogyny again.Fucked thing is, misogynistic slurs don't even just impact women, I've seen my fair share of misogyny directed at feminine men (some of which turn around to be misogynistic themselves, but that's a whole other problem) & lots of non-binary people as well, especially if they're afab & still quite fem like me. I get read as a cis woman in pretty much any cishet space, because it's just hard to hide an hourglass body with 36HH cup boobs lol & I'm mostly okay with it for safety reasons (& ig I still consider myself a women in some situations & on some days, just not cis), which obviously doesn't stop people - mostly men - from being deeply misogynistic fucks towards me. Misogyny is a huge societal problem even in leftist spaces (my country's leftist party had its own sadly short-lived #MeToo movement ffs) while misandry really is not. And I feel like until men actually understand that, we'll never stop getting men here on Era who'll make shitty ass posts making fun about the rules & how it's soooo "Americanized" or whatever. Not talking about you btw, you're good, just saw shit like that a lot in that recent thread.
Outstanding post.
Aw, that means a lot coming from you as I've always valued your takes especially irt TLoU & lesbian stuff in media, thank you 🥺

There you go. Not a bad shape, to be fair.

QuoteI won't bother repeating what everyone has said regarding Yoshi's comments on trying to stay realistic to the inspiration that was medieval Europe, but I will add one thing. If they are going to try and stay realistic to how medieval Europe was then I better see some illeterate peasants wondering around, and I better not see any dragons or I will take out my history book Yoshi boy and give you a good schooling.https://www.resetera.com/threads/afterlife-games-no-colored-allowed-final-fantasy-xvi-sets-video-games-back-sixty-years.716185/post-105229432That's literally what Kingdom Come did and they still called it racist.

Bit weird the multi-updates per day JKR-Eating-Crackers thread vanishes to the memory hole as soon as someone does a podcast deep diving the claims and exposing what is basically a bad faith coordinated targetted harassment campaign, innit?(Image removed from quote.)
Quote from: Bansai, post: 105271045, member: 23345Is there a list of banned words perhaps? I virtually never lurk in these parts of the forum so keeping up with updates is tricky, not gonna lie, the C word kinda took me by surprise (not that I used it in my posts). But I just wanna make sure gendered male counterpart that starts with D is safe as well, because that one tends to slip out sometimes.Quote from: Patsy, post: 105318673, member: 57582While there isn't a list from what I know, it should be easy to just imagine any & all slurs are off-limits, especially if you're not part of the group of people who reclaimed a specific slur. Like, I'm pretty sure Black people on Era are allowed to use the n-word & I've never gotten in trouble for calling myself a dyke. So I'd personally always go by the rule of just not calling others slurs, even when it's one you reclaimed yourself! These are just ones I can think of at the moment, but I'm sure I'd be missing some that I just don't really know of:the n-word, the homophobic f-slur (both short & long version), the lesbophobic slur 'dyke', both of the transphobic t-slurs (one of which a subset of people love using for feminine men, but often gets directed at trans women in a clearly derogatory fashion considering the fucked up notion that they're "trapping" men into sleeping with them), the ableist r-slur & misogynistic slurs like bitch & cunt. Not sure if the former is treated the same as the latter, but I don't see why someone calling someone else that, especially a woman, would somehow not be bannable. I do think the latter is quite more hurtful still, but ymmv.Misandry isn't, like, an actual problem in our cisheternormative patriarchal society like misogyny, transmisogyny & misogynoir are which is why shit like dick doesn't have any real impact & isn't considered a slur for a group of marginalized people. If men would be told to stay in the kitchen, know their place, to shut up, to just suck it up, to just take some dick when they don't want to, to just ignore & get over inequality that concerns them while being called dicks in the same breath, maybe they'd have a point. But there's no systemic misandry men have to live with their whole lives, so there's no reason to think a harmless word like dick could ever even remotely be as harmful as misogynistic slurs can be. Men may get called pussies, women or homophobic shit for not being toxic masculinity incarnate, but that just wraps around to homophobia & misogyny again.Fucked thing is, misogynistic slurs don't even just impact women, I've seen my fair share of misogyny directed at feminine men (some of which turn around to be misogynistic themselves, but that's a whole other problem) & lots of non-binary people as well, especially if they're afab & still quite fem like me.

Misogyny is a huge societal problem even in leftist spaces (my country's leftist party had its own sadly short-lived #MeToo movement ffs) while misandry really is not. And I feel like until men actually understand that, we'll never stop getting men here on Era who'll make shitty ass posts making fun about the rules & how it's soooo "Americanized" or whatever.

Folx, we have AI to do that shit for us now.“hourglass body with 36hh cup boobs, bra”…spoiler (click to show/hide)[close]There you go. Not a bad shape, to be fair.

Ayyy toots, a little less yappin'.
As a bioengineer, nothing makes my blood boil (no pun intended) like watching the documentaries and reading up on this woman. She’s a monster.Society doesn’t understand science and they trust scientists to do real science to solve society’s problems, and she used her privilege and brand name at Stanford to deceive powerful people.Maybe her evil is not intentional (like I’m fairly convinced she has a severe personality disorder and is not fully aware of reality or the consequences of her actions), but regardless, what she has done to the world is harmful and she needs to be kept in prison or at an inpatient psychiatric hospital to keep her away from harming society.Don’t fall for magical white woman tears of a mastermind manipulator.
