Wow, you really think I would put so little effort and comedy into a troll? This has to be some kind of misrepresenting moderation and history of history or some shit. Guess bork was right about you.

TERF BiTCH thread proprietors asleep at the wheel. Blueballs please tell them to wake up to another step in genocide happening.

The average CinemaScore is like a B or something, so an A- is really more like a B.

edit: Oh, it's even worse the average is a B+.

I'd love to have just one of these dudes explain what they expect to happen in detail. And how "people who believe they are on the left" raging more on video game forums would have stopped it.

Like I'm pretty "smart" (calm down, I'm kidding) but I can't get to even step two of how things are supposed to happen because of this.
1. People think it's okay to say something is the result of good genes. Which... has never not been the case?

They're still insisting this ad is eugenics when nobody in that thread has once explained it even when people objected that it's not. Instead of they just hand wave, well Sydney Sweeney has blue eyes and blond hair and the Nazis really loved blue eyes and blond hair. Which, okay? That doesn't make either eugenics, the Nazis didn't try to exterminate people with brunette hair and brown eyes or the Fuhrer would have some issues. The Aryan ideal was a mythological thing, they didn't exist, so were never a practical goal. They're essentially arguing that a jeans company doing an ad with a popular actress are taking a more extreme eugenics position than the Nazis and doing so entirely through not explicitly saying anything and relying on ignorant people to connect the dots from an endless series of secret signals.

And all of this is still based on the false idea that Nazis, really white supremacists in general, place dogwhistles everywhere to send secret messages to each other that nobody else picks up on. A lie they have to rely on because it's the only way they can accuse people who aren't these things of being these things.

If it's all dogwhistles then how does it normalize anything? Unless you're trying to say that saying Sydney Sweeney has great genes was abnormal before, which it wasn't, despite people in that thread trying to insist nobody has ever in human history said someone has great genes because they're attractive.

"Oh, people are now just going to think that saying white people have good genes is fine to say!" Nobody thought it wasn't before! Nobody's ever considered this a problem or the frontedge of a Nazi powergrab until you guys all convinced yourself that's what it must be. Something you all did in the last week when other people said this and then you all rushed to prove how intelligent you were by repeating with certainty something you haven't even thought about.

So really their objection is someone said something they don't like, and other people don't see a problem with it. So they have to accuse those people of being stupid and not seeing the obvious, which they themselves say is not obvious but requires vast knowledge to understand, which allows them to dismiss their concerns. Then to force anyone else to not downplay this issue they have to assert that it's also obvious that this is the beginning of Holocaust 3.0. They have absolutely no explanation of how this ad leads there so they fall back on "it normalizes" things which doesn't mean anything, especially because they never established what it means other than reference to the arcane knowledge they posses but can't point to for anyone else to learn it.

But don't worry if that's not enough to convince you they have another fall back, after spending pages dismissing intent they can inform you that NOTHING is done in advertising without everyone involved having a clear intent and that's how you know everyone involved in this is a Nazi because of their clear intent to promote eugenics. Which they then completely hid and only the great seers of the stones have the ability to uncover. But also ignorant stupid fucking chuds. And also every single person on Earth who will be influenced by this ad into thinking eugenics is based and needs to be done to the maximum extent possible right this instant.

All this does is just distract you from the fact that we're still sitting at step one. Even granting them all the premises, that this is a verbatim Nazi ad rewritten into English, we still have no explanation of how this is supposed to lead to anything else. But no matter how often they do this, like proclaiming that Stellar Blade is the front of a woman hating movement invading the West from Korea, and no matter how none of their predictions are ever correct are you ever allowed to dismiss their prognostication abilities. But don't worry, when the camps come they won't be mocking you for dismissing Sydney Sweeney's ad leading to exactly what they said because you already mocked the idea that Gamergate was leading to this. They already knew y'all weren't serious.

What’s wild is how no one pushing this narrative ever feels the need to explain how any of this is supposed to work. Not metaphorically, not through vague implications—step by step. How does an ad featuring a conventionally attractive actress lead to fascism 2.0? What exactly is the mechanism? And if the answer is just "normalization," okay—normalize what, exactly? Being hot?

You can't keep waving around “dogwhistles” and “aesthetics” like they're actual arguments. Just because Nazis once liked a certain look doesn’t mean everyone who finds it appealing is halfway to building a concentration camp. That’s not analysis, that’s paranoia with better vocabulary.

And let’s be honest: this has nothing to do with fascism or eugenics. The real problem is someone said something you don’t like—something you can’t disprove, but don’t want normalized. So instead of engaging honestly, you try to launder your discomfort through historical horror and cultural guilt. Because if you say "this ad is harmful" and nobody agrees, you’ve got nowhere to go—unless you scream "Nazi" and hope everyone shuts up out of fear of being labeled complicit.

Even worse, when people do push back and ask for clarification, the response isn’t more detail—it’s condescension. Suddenly we’re all too stupid or too ignorant to see the "obvious" connections. You can’t prove anything, but we’re the ones failing the intelligence check?

You can’t claim this is a crisis of mass influence while also insisting it’s all invisible and only you and your Twitter mutuals have the decoder ring. That’s not activism. That’s QAnon logic, just wearing a liberal arts hat.

But hey, maybe the reason nobody listens anymore isn’t because the masses are stupid or secretly fascist. Maybe it’s because you’ve been wrong every single time. Gamergate didn’t lead to a Fourth Reich. Stellar Blade isn’t a psyop. Saying someone has good genes because they’re beautiful isn’t eugenics. You’re just addicted to moral panic.

And until you can map out what’s actually supposed to happen—no metaphors, no vibes—maybe sit the next outrage out.

Maybe the drop is because the movie is pro-eugenics.

While it's true that the First Amendment only protects speech from government censorship, the comic oversimplifies a deeper cultural issue. Dismissing public backlash, deplatforming, and organized boycotts as “just consequences” ignores how powerful social and corporate forces can silence minority or unpopular views—even when those views are made in good faith.

Yes, private platforms have the right to set rules and communities can choose who they associate with. But when tech companies and social movements act in concert to silence dissenting voices, it raises concerns about how “free” the marketplace of ideas truly is. A society that claims to value free expression should be cautious about how quickly it punishes people for saying things others dislike.

Being labeled an “asshole” isn’t always the result of cruelty or stupidity—it’s sometimes just being contrarian in a highly conformist climate. We should be wary of a culture that mistakes discomfort for harm and seeks to exclude rather than engage.

Free speech may be a legal protection, but it’s also a cultural value—and that value suffers when the dominant response to disagreement is exile instead of dialogue.

It isn’t worth wasting your ChatGPT tokens on replying to benji man.

Why? Benji is probably the only person who would actually read that shit anyway!

No way BlueBalls is Jeff. Jeff would never dismiss concerns about eugenics.

Don’t mistake a couple of people being negative in a thread designed for people to be negative, with the moderation staff not wanting you to make the threads you make. Your threads are harmless fun that people appreciate either for their presence or for participating in. If they don’t, the ignore button is right there and they can solve their personal hang-up themselves. This place can be relentlessly dour at times, don’t let it weigh on you or change you. Keep bringing your energy to it ☀️

The whole fucking forum is filled with people being negative!

Gotta be honest, I'm guilty of reading less myself. When I was in my 20s I used to take a train daily to work and finished 3-5 books a week. Now it's...less. Much less.

A never is still laughable in this case, specially in an era where console exclusivities are dying, PC has even less reason in the long run.
