Unfortunately yet another opportunity to remind the idiots who cried over Charlie Kirk that he was fine with these tragic events.

Why are this assholes with Trans flags still acting like this?

I did notice when looking at avatars on tweets a racial divide:
Black posters: split 50/50 on if she was framed or actually some kind of freedom fighter, focused almost entirely on what she was finally convicted for and the claim that she "executed" the officer (to which there is only one witness, his partner who was also shot) not the whole BLA terrorism that led to the manhunt that led to the shootout.
White/"queer" posters: brave freedom fighter bringing down the jewnazis and their white puppets and anyone who disagrees is complicit.

Ackchyually capitalism is good

Yoshiaki Koizumi turned "Super Mario Galaxy" into a product strategy with $90 "planets" and that’s before the $30 books, $50 Amiibo, $20 movie tickets, $1000 theme park trips, $200 museum tickets and $100 plastic shells

"Super Mario Galaxy 3" is already here but we are Mario and the Stars are our paychecks.

Didn't realize how prevalent it was in the intro until rewatching it now. They probably could've just had only the alternate universe Blue Knight, Harcourt and Keith do it and it would've been really excellent foreshadowing. Not sure if it was necessary for Peacemaker to do the dance, even some of the ARGUS personnel to do a similar motion in the intro.

 

Gonna say, pretty funny to see Epic to pretend to care here like 2 weeks after putting a Kanye West song in the game

 This likely isn't Epic, or if it is it's because someone like Disney would be on their ass extremely fast if they left it in.

Fucking Disney’s brain rootz

This is totally Epic because a competent company would discuss this matter in detail private with their businesses partner before making the decision publicly. They also throw WB/DC under the bus by doing this:

When you realize Cactuars have been nazis all along.


But yeah now that this emote can, and will, be used as a nazi sign, even if DC confirms this wasn't the intent, removing it seems like the obvious move.

The obvious thing was discussing this is private if they were genuinely concerned before jumping the gun.

[Eric Cartman]

Problem is that regardless of the intent it will become a Nazi symbol in the game

What is Kash Patel going to say was written on the bullets? Who will they blame this time?

Is it too soon to assume it will be pinned on "left wing extremists," and that the 9mm bullet casing had "Anti-The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Michigan & Also ICE" written on it

In case you forget you can't trust Democrats to stand up for marginalized people instead of caving into white supremacy and so should never support them for any reason:

I also remember pretty distinctly how they talked about how dehumanizing language is a sign of fascism and yet here they are doing it even more proudly and blatant than right wingers

 If we're really going to do this, they do similar movement poses in the first season intro too because there's only so many fucking things you can choreograph for all these actors to be able to do with your arms at opposites that won't look like a swatiska.

Have we established if there's any key plot points hidden in the fact that they're not actually all in time with each other because they only probably did so many takes? Or that Frank Grillo is visibly laughing?

Almost like you are unemployed.  

Again; using the forum as his personal blog.

[Eric Cartman]

Give a month to see if republicans adopt it or not (already seen some shitty "just look how nice and clean that world is" hot takes some places). Then maybe.

"The intend of the emote doesn't matter, all that matters is if my enemies adopt it"

Also I'd say it's actually a fair question to ask why the Nazi world looks like a peaceful utopia.
I'm sure Gunn will reveal some ugly underbelly but equating a nice suburban environment with Nazis can easily backfire.

everyone on earth x is kinda low key retarded. A lot of people called where this was going as a monkeys paw 'ideal world'.

From the same genius user:

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Okay no, this is silly.

In that video, when Alternate timeline folks show up, they're not doing that dance.

Yes they are, it's not the exact same motion but it's definitely similar, with arms bent at the elbow and going opposite directions of each other creating a half swastika. It even seems like they try to use their leg to create another arm of the swastika.

Found another guy trying to do the same dance, not the exact same motion but similar:

[benji]

Well known Nazi Kinthey is now also dismissing concerns along these lines:

The dance takes place in a scene filled with allusions and hints of Nazi symbolism and Gunn has talked at length that the dance routines of both seasons are things you are supposed to revisit as you go through the show and look at with new eyes.

It is 1000% intentional.

I'm note entirely convinced. People can also really easily end up seeing things they want to see. In the first season we also got a characters throwing up arms in a similar motion




The choreographer seems to generally rely a lot on dance moves with sharp angles for the intros of both seasons.


What mostly makes me question is that it just doesn't really fit to randomly drop it at the beginning. Like if he was doing it next to the Top Trio it would make perfect sense.

[benji]

It's beyond hilarious to call this "filled with allusions and hints of Nazi symbolism." The depths of stupidity that forum gets into in order to pretend to be smart I will never understand.

Case closed. 

(I can see Gunn apologizing for it, while not confirming the intention, even if people were reaching, some asshole at ERA already bring up the “he is an edgelord”  )

There is no way the dance wasn't intentional on Gunn's part which makes it baffling that it was chosen for the emote in Fortnite. He was (is?) an edgelord, he had to know it would be used like that.

 

————

He seems pretty heavily involved in all the DC projects. I would be shocked if wasn't aware or had nothing to do with the intro.

I wouldn't be, having worked with companies like WB on similar stuff before. It's entirely possibly he knew and approved though!

Those poor companies…

[Bootsthecat]

I'm sure mentioned multiple times before, but wat is the point of bad people using dog whistles or watever, when you've already asserted that bad people are already fully 'mask off' with being bad people (without consequence) in this political climate. Seems like unnecessary effort

[HaughtyFrank]

I'm just very amused again how they can see dogwhistles absolutely everywhere unless it concerns Israel

"Intifada? That's just the Arab word for resistance!"

[benji]

They're completely obsessed with hidden messages being everywhere. Gunn is really not that subtle with his deep DC (or previously Marvel) references, it's more like using an obscure character because he can do anything he wants with them when a more popular one would have done. It really should have been fucking obvious why he picked the obscure characters he did for The Suicide Squad for example.

He's also nowhere near an "edgelord" in his humor, almost every line Guy Gardner had was his kind of humor. I'll be surprised if Supergirl (the movie, not necessarily the character) does not make a joke about Jason Momoa having played Aquaman. Lobo's love for his fishies pretty much sets one up by default.

[Boredfrom]

I imagine that it was some Epic employee in the same wavelength as Minthara that pulled the plug without realizing how this screwed over their business partner. We have seen companies dealing with similar situations without making it bigger than it should.

Maybe this the reason why Sega chose PUBG over Fortinite to put Sonic on.

 User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissing Concerns of Transphobia

The hissy fits here are as ridiculous as the are predictable.

The most bland defusing of the nonsense hot-button issue. What Democrats should typically do.

In the goddam 1990s parents still wanted fairness in sports. I was on 4th+5th grade football teams. If you were over the weight limit you couldn't be an offensive skill position player. I was close to the line, maybe 5lb over. They put a double line on the helmet to ID you aren't allowed to advance the ball.
I was also fast. So you can see how they want to limit the force side of the equation in Mass x Velocity.
The tall but skinny kids or the small in general would could get demolished by someone like me in a collision.

 User Banned (1 Week): Metacommentary; Account in Junior Phase

this thread is full of people laundering transphobic talking points which are known to be invented by the right wing propaganda machine.

"NaudiRajah" in particular has stood out as someone dedicated in accepting transphobia at its face as a normal starting point: using "trans" as a a noun in at least two comments, talking about "trans people should be allowed to play sports only if they're FULLY transitioned" (which has always been a slippery slope goalpost as proven by Lia Thomas), and repeatedly raising the bogeyman of "fairness in sports because muh children."

it's literally all textbook normalisation of transphobia as envisioned and very successfully implemented by the nazis.

this forum is so fkn lib, patting itself on its back for being pRoGrEsSiVe but then tolerating shit like what's happening in this thread.

How is that statement not...pro-homo? I assume dick deep down their throat would trigger a gag reflex, and this is likely annoying. Cis-men don't have deal with that typically. Gay bois should be like "yeah, totally annoying!"
