The Other Forums Thread for 90's Kids ONLY

[Uncle]

Like, seriously, that'd be literally impossible!

I do think it's pretty funny to watch people gradually hamstring themselves out of all the entertainment they once loved.  Really pity people who have no ability to separate art from artist.  There are always degrees to what is tolerable but lately it's like one dude brushing up against a boob means you have to discard all of Star Trek.

Hey, there's always dead content creators from 1960 or earlier!  Nobody's left to bring up serious allegations against Twain or Tolkien!  Except then you have to gymnastic past the fact that literally everyone in the old days was racist and sexist!

He was the captain of ship. It is right that we choose to no longer financially support this decision making that puts rapists in power.

So you not gonna watch any more Disney movies, including Star Wars and Marvel?

Aight

Like, seriously, that'd be literally impossible!

Looking at the bright side, geeks will stop to sermon us about Pixar a couple of years.

I like Pixar and all, but this is actually something good to come from this.

Oh fuck everyone I respected is turning out to be total creeps. I... dont know what to say. When I was a kid I watched Toy Story on VHS so many times I am sure the tape broke.

Man, that Lasseter thread. "Sexual misconduct? Let's use this as a way to virtue signal about getting POC into those positions instead!"

also, how is POC not offensive as fuck? People of color = Colored folks.

Messofego is how that happens.  He's not above turning sexual accusations into being about his personal issues.

I am my own hero;  and I know for certain I'm not a (convicted) pedophile.

Didn't you ship your then 19 year old gf to your house after meeting her on your forum?

That means you most likely met her while she was underaged, and then groomed her.

Personally I prefer nah-cazoids.

Also I’ve seen people use the term caucasoid non-ironically without realizing that it comes from the same racist origin as negroid.

Wulp, people can judge me all they want with my comment about not hiring women. But ya know what? FUCK YOU lol. Teams are going to be built around all men because we all know how uncreative, and unfunny most women are. Why we need the drama? The boys will be boys. So, you want to do good work, you wanna be legends? Just keep the bitches out.

Can't keep this off your mind can you?

But no, I was actually one of the people that ignored her the first year or so she posted.  She was well into 19 before I started grooming her.

Ah, yes you were just waiting, lurking, for that perfect moment. I got you. 

EDIT: Wait, so within 1 year you flew her up and married her? Ok, so she has daddy issues then.

Sure, in jobs they're good at. But most creative fields? Eh, no.

For example this recent trend of female comics: THEY'RE NOT FUNNY. None of them. Sure, you can have a female comic do a skit that can turn out to be funny, but naturally they're unfunny as fucking hell. I don't think i ever sat through a female comics special in it's entirety. There might be one or two i thought were decent, but most? They're so not funny lol. They don't have to be.

Nice try but the VICE article demolished your attempt at gaslighting us:

PewDiePie
57,953,108 subscribers

The most famous instance of far-right views being disseminated on YouTube is PewDiePie – the site's biggest star, commanding an audience of literally millions of impressionable teenage boys, who for some reason want to watch him play computer games. He was dropped by Disney after it emerged that his videos included antisemitic jokes and Nazi imagery.

What PewDiePie does is very different from the likes of PJW, but this ironic racism can offer us a good example of what happens when these views, prominent in YouTube's ecosystem as they are, become normalised. Such videos are – at least anecdotally – having a measurable effect on how these kids talk about Jews, or the Nazis.

Here's my hypothesis: Twitter is the natural home of the left because Twitter – participatory; open; capable of presenting multiple viewpoints to the reader simultaneously – is well-suited to the expression of left-wing views, which are (to draw however loose a family resemblance between often disparate warring factions) typically somehow egalitarian.

Contemporary right-wing politics, by contrast, is driven largely by the unexamined prejudices and anxieties of (primarily) white men. Any white man who wants to hold on to their prejudices and anxieties is going to have a tough time of it on Twitter – but they're going to have a grand old time standing in front of their wall, alone, ranting.

So the left have the tweet, and the right have the solo rant to camera. This would, in a way, be fine – except that it turns out the solo rant to camera is a vastly better way of converting people than the tweet is.

an audience of literally millions of impressionable teenage boys

Did they just assume the gender of 57,953,108 people? And imply that only boys have an interest in vidya? WOW

Twitter is the natural home of the left

So Trump isn't a fascist nazi after all?

I literally CANNOT. EVEN. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised to read something like from a media corp co-founded by alt-righter extraordinaire McInnes,  employing deplorable nazis such as Tim Pool, and in more recent news being a cesspool of misogyny, sexism and sexual harassment.

[VomKriege]

I'm still amazed at the shock and surprise GAFera manage to collectively muster at every new name potentially outed. Every large organisation (or any collective of 2 people and more ) ought to have, on statistical probability alone, its share of people plagued with strong vices. It will most probably have a culture of keeping problems under a lid out of self preservation. It could be argued that the entire history of mankind is literally this.

I also get the "just don't be a terrible human being then" that they like to throw around a lot but it strikes me as pretty shallow, too.

I'm not a punitive person by nature and I'm generally fairly  forgiving so I don't really have the stomach for all the outrage. I don't think it's unreasonable to both think that repeat sexual harrassment offenses should result in unemployment and also that you don't have to stop watching Pixar movies or make a big stink about it. Plus we've already known for years that psychopaths are attracted to high power positions.

Same here.  I mean you don't forgive unless the person admits fault and seems genuinely repentant.  And you don't forgive and forget.  But there should be avenues to forgiveness for most people in most cases.  And for me personally I don't have the time or compulsion to keep some massive mental shitlist that lasts in perpetuity.

As far as psychopaths being attracted to high power positions...with the amount of stuff coming out I'm starting to wonder if being a star content creator of any kind means you've got a unique/weird mind and outlook that tends toward behavior that's going to result in closet skeletons.  Funny, engaging people have a different perspective on the world.  I'd hardly say that all the best and brightest are secretly sex perverts but hell at this rate I wonder if there's a correlation.  On the other side of things it's pretty well known that squeaky clean prudes are absolutely no fun and create nothing of value.

I think it's also worth noting that the fact that this is sexual and chauvinistic in nature makes it especially sensitive for people. I doubt people would have the same visceral reaction if it's, say, a past assault conviction, of which there are plenty of in Hollywood, and sports especially.

[Transhuman]

Sure, in jobs they're good at. But most creative fields? Eh, no.

[Jansen]

[counterhit]

The Jordan Peterson stuff linked earlier in the thread is gave me a headache, so I feel the need to rant a little bit. It's an incredible video. The worst part is the angle of "these students haven't had the training in critical thinking yet to deal with this material". How can you say that (and echo it in defense of the video) and not think even for a second you sound like you are really talking about indoctrination? The overall tone is that Peterson's arguments only exist to be taken apart and couldn't possibly be agreed with at any point (since he's literally Hitler). We must train students with "critical skills" so that never happens!

Looking at articles about the matter, which are trying their best to make it a L for Peterson, you basically get this pattern where they make very weak claims about Peterson dressed up in basic attacks on his intellect and back them up with previous articles which was also based on very weak claims. And it just repeats on and on. I have mixed feelings on the guy, especially when he's stooping to make dumb tweets or going on garbage right-wing youtube shows (and his dumbass fanbase), but it's not hard to see how bullshit this is.

[etiolate]

Guilt by Association is a third of the playbook.  The other two are misrepresentation and volume. If you lie loud enough and have enough people repeat it then who is going to spend the time to fact check during their workday?

They also don't teach critical thinking anymore. At least, most colleges really don't. They teach critical theory instead which is an indoctrination tool. College students are not given the mental vaccine to jargony nonsense.  So I don't know why he even tries to make that point, because he knows full well that the kids are never going to get the tools he references. Looking at that Prof's classes and his argument, he doesn't seem to have critical thinking either, but it's more likely he doesn't believe such a thing truly exists.

[Cindi Mayweather]

Every time I read "problematic" now my head starts to bop and the lyrics of the entire album come out of my brain like a sieve and I have to listen to it.



PROBLEMATIC, ILLMATIC



Sometimes I sit back with a Buddha sack
Mind's in another world, thinkin'
"How can we exist through the facts?"
Written in school text books, bibles, et cetera
Fuck a school lecture, the lies get me vexed-er
So I be ghost from my projects
I take my pen and pad for the weekend
Hittin' L's while I'm sleepin'
A two-day stay, you may say I need the time alone
To relax my dome, no phone, left the 9 at home

...


He inhaled so deep, shut his eyes like he was sleep
Started coughin', one eye peeked to watch me speak
I sat back like The Mack, my army suit was black
We was chillin' on these benches
Where he pumped his loose cracks
I took the L when he passed it, this little bastard
Keeps me blasted and starts talkin' mad shit
I had to school him, told him don't let niccas fool him
‘Cause when the pistol blows
The one that's murdered be the cool one
Tough luck when niccas are struck, families fucked up
Coulda caught your man, but didn't look when you bucked up
Mistakes happen, so take heed, never bust up
At the crowd, catch him solo, make the right man bleed
Shorty's laugh was cold-blooded as he spoke so foul
Only twelve, tryin' to tell me that he liked my style
Then I rose, wipin' the blunt's ash from my clothes
Then froze, only to blow the herb smoke through my nose

Problematic

Versatile, my style switches, like a taco

Hopefully corporate America and industires like finance see a similar falling out, although I kind of doubt it.  It's the fame of the individuals that is attracting these news stories.

I mean, that's just your opinion. More than half of my favorite comedians are women, probably. Paula Poundstone, Iliza Shlesinger, Tig Notaro, Kaitlin Olson, Wanda Sykes (has anyone here seen that black people sketch on the new season of Curb?), Whoopi Goldberg. Hell, when I was a kid my favorite tv personality ever was definitely Chelsea Handler. Although I wouldn't recommend letting your kids watch her, probably not good for development.

"Are you doing specific butt exercises?"
"Yeah I do a lot of butt stuff. My trainer, he's good with butts. His name is Ben Bruno, I also sleep with him sometimes."
"It's a casual thing."
"It's a very casual thing. The training, he's my professional trainer, but anybody I, I sleep with a lot of people that I employ. So like my tennis instructor, I sometimes I sleep with him, or my trainer, or my landscaper, anybody I'm paying or renting, I want to also service me."
"Someone's there to read the gas meter, and it's like yeah, why not."
"Why not, you know what I mean, why not have a good time And yeah, use up... what I can use up."
