Pretty sure it was already decided before Paris 2024 that breaking won't return for LA 2028. Same with boxing. The IOC seems to kind of play around with adding various sports right now

Was about to make a hacky joke about darts in the Olympics. But there are genuine lobbyists who might very well make it happen.

Finally, a sport with something to say!

If I'm going to jail, at least let me leave one remnant of my legacy as a free man.  



This is an inordinately large woman competing in the Taco Bell 12 taco challenge.  Upon investigating, this challenge only exists on her channel, and nowhere else.  She created this challenge for herself.  That's what life is about, creating challenges for yourself so you can grow as a person.  That's all I wanted from my music - to challenge peoples' preconceptions.  Alright guys.  Have a good one.

Oh, she's growing as a person alright.

It's all thanks to capitalism (Blizzard is one of gaming's largest predatory megacorps, and gaas slop like overwatch is peak capitalist excess), colonialism (cultural appropriation through yts making POC characters despite never being able to achieve the necessary je ne sais quoi to properly perceive the minority lived experience), and white supremacy (90%+ of the dev team (and all of the important roles at the top) are fucking cis white or white adjacent male chuds) that we get to enjoy the wit and wisdom of one the Internets finest cop moderators.

Coming from the perspective of liking authentic film grain and thinking his rereleases look bad… it’s his choice as an artist to do what he wants.

One of the many ways they contend with cognitive dissonance. Artists are like really important and AI is a danger or whatever. But also art should be beholden to the shareholders and fanboy consensus. Artistic freedom only applies to fat gay furry smut.

Cruise is so interesting to me regarding the love these faggot ass faggots have towards him. 

He has gone on the record saying all mental issues are fixable via their methods, and meds are useless. ADHD, trannny -ism, etc.

But because he hasn't said it on Twitter, since he's not a fucking faggot retard, he is safe.

Love these faggot ass faggot retards

Unless there’s some uh, joke that I missed, what on Earth is this post 

Was a milquetoast post about cruise, but I had just read the thread about the Red Sox guy caught on the mic. And man, I love that word, and thought I needed to use it more. Great word. 'faggot ass bitch' is in my vernacular. I love the gays, btw.

Did I bring the ree out in you Bois? It's just a word

I wonder if Swarmz will figure out that BitterBot is Nep’s alt so she can post long faux intellectual takes, and use hostel language not under her normal account? She even quotes her own alts posts to double down on her rhetoric.

The story still developing but it seems legit and following the playbook I posted here before:

White experts on culture that they barely live in, culture that was created because of their prejudice, culture that they considered even illegal until a couple of decades ago, but they eventually become the most powerful voices, with total control of the culture, from picking who deserves the spotlight to the funds that would eventually help marginalised groups to get involved on their own culture in a mainstream stage.

Raygun racist? Raygun legit?

Bitterroot vs. Dr. swarmz

It’s pretty obvious Nep’s just mad some whitey stole her moves

[DocWager]

Nep’s a fucking troll, and she’s fucking around with things she doesn’t actually understand. She’s literally just following fires, and aggressively pushing political rhetoric in any thread she can get by on with her skin color.

[Snoopy]

What are the odds a black breakdancing expert joins ree the same week this happens, and then gets into a debate with Nep? I’d say astronomical

[DavidCroquet]

The breaking thread just keeps on giving. I am happy for this until the inevitable lock (or Swamz gets banned).

BitterRoot[/url]]Yeah, in the end, right wing profiles are starting to defend her because she is a white person taking center stage on a culture that was not originally theirs to begin with, so it's a bonus for white supremacists anyway.

The point is that black and indigenous people in Australia are against everything she represents: white privilege, control over a culture that the original intent was to fight against oppression that Raygun capitalise on, and so on.

I posted indigenous representatives talking about that.

Again, this is about whiteness, doesn't matter how Rayguns defenders online or even here try to frame it.

Black folks are mocking her.
Indigenous Australian are angry.
Marginalised people were denied funding for her to rise (this happens not only with this event).

What else does whites on this forum need to get their shit together and say: "ok, there is something going on here"?

Maybe another white PHD in Indigenous/black culture to explain it to you all? lol

Indigenous Australian's are angry...why?  

Is there some allowed-to-breakdance deputization going on here? Aboriginal Australians certainly didn't create the sport (which is the qualification to participate/discuss/think about/look at breakdancing, apparently).

What are the odds a black breakdancing expert joins ree the same week this happens, and then gets into a debate with Nep? I’d say astronomical

I'd say the odds of any well-adjusted black adult with relevant lived experience conflicting with Nepenthe is nearly 100%, actually.

[DocWager]

Honestly it wouldn’t shock me if Swarmz is also a Nep alt too.

She's fiending because she is soft-banned from any convo that touches on Israel-Palestine (which manages to weasel it's way into almost every thread due to HamasEra).

I'm being a hundred percent genuine and sincere here.

As a white person reading this thread, the point you're trying to get across (which I don't even disagree with) would land a whole lot better if you didn't say a guy who has been in the breaking culture for twenty years has just 'come around yesterday', and that Raygun herself isn't really part of it, when she's been in the breaking community for ten years.

Reading up on breaking a bit, this isn't just about whiteness.

You, and other people in this thread, are absolutely right about it's origins, and the meaning it has for black people.

But you're ignoring how it developed when it died out since its origin, how non-black cultures all around the world picked it up to make it survive (which includes, but is not limited to white people) and that has led to where we are now.

You're saying a lot that I agree with. How white people can and do take over aspects of black culture, popularize it and eventually erase black people from the popularized version.

But that's not what happened with breaking. It has been explained multiple times in this thread that that's not what happened with breaking. Raygun appears to be someone who has been part of the breaking culture for ten years, represented things from the culture at the Olympics (though failed in making it look attractive), and is actually acknowledging that aspect of the culture.

If, in your criticism of her, you deny crucial parts of breakings entire history while you seem to wanna emphasize the importance of authentic culture...you seem to be deliberately misrepresenting the situation, to strengthen your own case.

Which a: isn't necessary, because in general you have a good point and b: makes it more unlikely for me to 'get my shit together' with you.

[kaleidoscopium]

If the EU bans it, can Resetera finally ban it?

No, see, Twitter is vital. How else would you share tweets from news outlets that link to a news article on a website, low res trailer drops and tweets from users that are popular on twitter

What about the artists!?

[Snoopy]

Thank you for saying this entire post. I'm quite hurt by the amount of people talking about about the immoral treatment of marginalized POC in the breaking culture, and then myself, a black member of said culture for more than half my life, is told my experience and thoughts on the matter don't matter, leads me to believe this conversation is disingenuous. My entire point is that Raygun's performance is reflective of the culture and not enough to claim that she is not a part of the culture. There is a racial layer in this discourse 3 or 4 steps ahead, this I agree with, but I'm still trying to unpack the uninformed assumptions many people are making at step 1.

Place the open side up with the closed bottom side directly onto the cabinet shelf?

Oh hey Nep 

[DavidCroquet]

On the Nep-Alt topic...would she really use alts to effectively and carefully dunk her default position so openly? 

That's leaving aside the fact that these new posters' arguments are internally consistent, respectful, and coherent. Hard to believe Nepenthe could achieve such a feat.

[wizardora]

I follow the rule of "could this post have been made with the same point, yet 50% fewer words? OK, then it's a Nep alt."
