Oh no, a negative Sony thread. Better lock that shit before the community has a meltdown.

nOt cInEmAtIc eNoUgH pretty much lays out why I haven’t bought anything from them since ~2007.

watching the video it seems era is more mad about the fact the guy maligns holy avenger Jason Schreier and literally says he was making a bunch of shit up for clicks 

There's a lot of hearsay with little verifiable proof in this video. If more sources come out with info, feel free to make a new thread. Until then, this seems to be pretty unreliable.

Well, I guess no more threads on stories that rely on "anonymous sources", "someone familiar with" and "not authorized to speak on the record" then.

The reason these Playstation Directs don't work is that it's entirely predictable what's coming to Playstation at any given time. A bunch of "gritty" action games, JRPGs that don't want to be JRPGs, Angry Dad sims and Sportsball.

The reason Nintendo's Directs work so well is that no one knows what is coming. It could be one glorious announcement after another or it could be pure shite Wii Music-level announcements.

The anticipation is the key. What is there really to anticipate from one of these Playstation events?

Safety should be the priority here. It’s the right move.

They can take security measures without bowing down to terrorists.

I am absolutely not saying it's the right move, just acknowledging that that the decision is far less "just giving in" than it might seem on the surface. The move sucks, and does ultimately give the terrorists what they want.

Where does this end then? When is the point when it's not considered "just giving in"? Tbh, if you're not trans, there's no way to understand exactly how every single thing done against at this point is all part of a genocidal plan. Even if this doesn't seem relatively like a "big deal", it very much is.

I mean the underpaid staff are the ones that have to deal with these dickheads.

LGBT people as a whole community nationwide also have to deal with these dickheads, in a way that is leading to people dying.

Completely self-centred and unconcerned about the safety of anybody not trans.

Just arm the cashiers!  This time it's to fight an actual genocide, sporadic, stochastic terrorism in the schools.

Note: I don't support arming teachers

You realize at a certain point that being violent right back, to an actually higher measure, is the only thing these assholes will understand, right? And then you get into an actual, factual social/class/political war that will end with more blood on the floor than anyone wants or expects, right?

Short of classifying these people, legally, as terrorists (which they need to be) and having law enforcement actually care (which... depends on the area, but mostly won't) you're not going to see movement other than to give in to these shitty people for the sake of people not being harassed or worse.

I don't think anyone in this thread at all disagrees that we shouldn't have to give in and that doing so is bad, but the alternative is literally people dying. It'd be the civil rights movement all over again but with a higher body count and spread out even more of the country. Things would absolutely get worse and might not actually get better.

Neville Chamberlain had similar arguments when he went to talk with Hitler back in the '30s. And look where that got us.

And us just being killed and dying and being genocided i guess is worth the peace for all the cishet people.

I guess we aren't as important as the civil rights movement was to be defended as necessary? Cause that's what it feels like you are saying.

Fuck this all to us IS a civil rights movement. Something has to fucking give.

Amazing stuff. This (Target removing some shitty merchandise nobody actually cares about) is the real cancel culture, btw. Blood will be on somebody's hands because of this. Joanne definitely but also maybe others. Target just thought they got "peace in our time" but Joanne will demand Holocaust 2.0 next. Appeasement to fascists annexing territory is stage eight and three-quarters. And yet the "allies" just sit and clap their hands about how nobody got hurt (except every person in the LGBT+ community) instead of risking life and limb in the streets like they did for the Civil Rights Movement. While the authorities refuse to "classify these people, legally, as terrorists" and throw them in black sites without due process. Or, ideally, just give them drone process for not having better fathers. We're the right side of history, in case you forgot. This is war, play it tactical. I just wish there was a Disney movie I could see to play my part in this fight.

The only thing that these terrorists will really understand is fear. Fear of a true personal cost, whether that comes in the form of embarrassment, shunning, and/or job loss as a result of going viral for acting like a psycho, or fear of a hospital visit or worse as a consequence of losing their shit in a Target in front of the wrong person or persons. They exist in an entirely different and fictional world fed by constant hate, fear, and disinformation, whipping them in to a frenzied state of stress. They truly think they are moral and right and that most "god fearing" [good] folk agree with and support them.

The algorithms are it in this thread:

The local performing arts center where I live cancelled the drag events that were going to be held there during Pride. In response most of the board resigned, but religious fascists are celebrating it as a win. I don't like where any of this is going. I'm at the point where I want to advocate for people to do whatever necessary to protect themselves (especially in public).

Increasingly feeling this myself.

Same, I have lgbtq friends reconsidering attending pride this year as it seems like we're a mass shooting away from one unfortunately. Some are starting to gun up as well.

Thread also has lots of people calling for an end to cancel culture (which does not exist) now:

charge every person who throws a fit with terrorism, lets tear some fascist families apart over these dumb outbursts.

Hoping some conservative leaders houses conveniently end up on fire
If their leaders do not fear any retaliation then nothing will change.

So when can we counter complain that personal belief and religion needs to stay the fuck out of society ?

cowards. fuck target. and fuck any company that kowtows to outright bigots.

Love this guy, he's taking the terrorist appeasers to task:

Here are all the possible outcomes of caving to terrorists:

1. The terrorists are emboldened and redouble their efforts against the people they hate.
2. The terrorists are emboldened and redouble their efforts against the people they hate.
3. The terrorists are emboldened and redouble their efforts against the people they hate.
4. The terrorists are emboldened and redouble their efforts against the people they hate.
5. The terrorists are emboldened and redouble their efforts against the people they hate.

The moment you give in to terrorists, they feel a sense of ownership over you and you are forever in their power. Their demands will only become more extreme at this point. The employees they're supposedly trying to "protect" will, at best, be protected only temporarily. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if tomorrow the terrorists now demand that Target fire all openly queer employees for supposedly being a "threat" to their children.

After at least seven years of this shit, you'd think people would understand this better about terrorists and that you cannot negotiate with them.

I wonder how many innocent people ended up dying during the pre-vaccine part of the pandemic because some billion-dollar retail corporations were too cheap to hire proper security personnel to enforce masking policies in their stores vs caving to the anti-mask lunatics' threats, under the pretext of "protecting employees"?

Maybe my memory is failing me, but I seem to recall a far greater consensus on this forum at the time in favor of the "armed security" solution vs just letting the anti-maskers go unchallenged in order to "defuse the situation".

When that shit was going down, seems like almost everyone here was on the same page that the onus was on the billion-dollar corporations to provide actual, tangible protection for their employees. Now, seems like quite a lot of folks here are arguing for the appeasement (of terrorists!) approach, saying that calls for billion-dollar corpo Target to install security personnel to protect their employees is an unreasonable ask.

Why the about-face? I legit hope it's because folks have developed a sudden, inexplicable amnesia about how to properly deal with terrorists (hint: you don't try to appease them), and not because it's "only" the queer employees' being thrown under the bus here vs everyone else too.

Booshka:

Corporations always bow to the bottom line, protect their profits and pridewash only if it’s profitable. I imagine most of these items are produced in the global south by oppressed workers, and end up in landfills or the Atacama desert in a few years.

Trying to fight back fascism with capitalism is a losing battle.

This is where I come at it, direct action to counter fascism won't be through rainbow capitalism. Seek out local mutual aid groups, LGBTQ+ organizations and leftist social movements and engage in actual direct action to fight against fascism.

Some Target pride washing merch that was produced via exploitation in the global south isn't worth fighting over, especially when workers at the margins of society are at risk just to help Target sell some pride washed products, most of which will be discarded by July for "Independence Day."

If you have time, dollars, or both, then it can be far more useful towards mutual aid, direct action leftist and LGBTQ+ organizations, locally or nationally.

Cabral was also one of those freedom fighters who contributed immensely, linking Marxism and decolonization at the theoretical and
practical level. It was Cabral, at a presentation at the high-profile tricontinental meeting of left revolutionaries in Havana in Cuba in 1966, who emphasized the
importance of unique local conditions and concrete historical realities as the solid departure point for crafting strategy for the national liberation struggle:

It is useful to recall in this Tricontinental gathering, so rich in experience
and example, that however great the similarity between our various cases and
however identical our enemies, national liberation and social revolution are
not exportable commodities.; they are, and increasingly so every day, the out-
come of local and national elaboration, more or less influenced by external
factors (be they favourable or unfavourable) but essentially determined
and formed by the historical reality of each people, and carried to success by
the overcoming or correct solution of the internal contradictions between the
various categories characterising this reality.

 The bike was docked, it's fair fucking game.

Basically what it turned out to be, and what it always was, is that this was simply a shouting match between two people who both had some reason for thinking they're in the right. Some will think it's normal to hold a bike that you're not using and some will think it's a dick move. It happens a million times on the planet every single day, but because one was white and one black it became national news and people had to be found and doxxed and all that shit.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

This is where I come at it, direct action to counter fascism won't be through rainbow capitalism. Seek out local mutual aid groups, LGBTQ+ organizations and leftist social movements and engage in actual direct action to fight against fascism.

There's a reason communist propaganda constantly portrayed western values as decadent and degenerate, and it wasn't because a collective ideology highly values people who will disrupt a work unit because someone on it likes Harry Potter and who value their individualistic sexual proclivities so much it becomes their identity, and will also happen to never grow the work force.

By contrast, capitalism fucking loves the rainbow dollar, because it represents people with the spending potential of young single men, combined with the spending habits of teenage girls for a period long long long after heteronormative couples stop going out dating and start doing things like investing in their kids futures.

“No one bothered to contact us to find out Michael’s story,” she said in a low voice during an interview on Wednesday. “They write all of these things about him, but no one bothered to ask him what happened or look at his receipts.”

HE FILMED IT AND PUT IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA YOU FUCKING NUMPTY, HOW FUCKING ONE-SIDED IS THAT?

I strongly believe that the only way people should be allowed to have guns in this country is if they volunteer to get shot with them first. And if they die, oh well. Until you know what it likes to feel that pain, you shouldn't be allowed to commit it on someone else against their will.

Okay, but wait, do the people (*cough* cops *cough*) doing the shooting of the gun wanters have to be shot first too? (And if they die, oh well?)

I’m not even defending cops or guns, but wtf are these responses?

He's probably thinking of how cops, CO's and MP's have to get tazed and sprayed so they know what it feels like and hopefully don't Tase Me Bro people like crazy.  It's a totall normal post for doctoral candidate in the field of comedy PlanetSmasher

Can you guys not be so negative about the successful and historic PlayStation™ brand that continues to bring unprecedented value to customers through innovative experiences like PSVR2™ and iconic characters like Kratos, Aloy and Spider-Man?

This is Microsoft's fault!

I still think the abk ms deal is holding announcements. They don’t want to go out there and show strength with exclusives galore

but phil said exclusives are weak

I told you so that you said "I told you so" too early.

Nepnep's post about the poors creating etiquette and some bullshit about culture is so fucking funny.

 The bike was docked, it's fair fucking game.

Basically what it turned out to be, and what it always was, is that this was simply a shouting match between two people who both had some reason for thinking they're in the right. Some will think it's normal to hold a bike that you're not using and some will think it's a dick move. It happens a million times on the planet every single day, but because one was white and one black it became national news and people had to be found and doxxed and all that shit.

Call in the troops, negative Soyny thread!

Yeah if the Citi Bike guy had just been honest about what happened in the first place (that he was preventing the woman from using the bike because he intended to use it later) it wouldn't have been a news story, but instead he told the story in a way that made him seem like more of a victim than he actually was (and the woman's lawyer neglected to mention that part too, for the same reason). Social media users once again causing people to make assumptions and hate on the basis of race.

The important thing is that the story confirmed all my priors.

The sparkly tags from their dumbass bets are dismissive of accessibility concerns. I should make a new account and demand they be banned, citing that I had an epileptic seizure while reading the latest Sony stock report thread.

dumb bike story makes me want to go around popping the tires on these rental bikes so nobody gets to ride them.


back in my day if you were walking somewhere and saw a bike in someone's yard. you took it and rode to your destination. then either dump the bike or keep it. sure, some poor kid lost their bike, but that little shit didn't listen to his parents when they told him to put it away.

Every time this happens the cop involved should get shot in the same spot.

Violence is the only language these apes understand, they'll learn real fast.

Cool. You want to hunt, get shot first. Fuck you if you die.

Who the fuck needs to "rest" with an ebike?
