What's confusing? 

This is the way it was designed.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

holy shit I can't believe that CHINESE CUNT demanded those poor, poor parents to pay at loss of value for his sports car.  

he's so rich he should just let his property be ruined.

I hate when I miss a Propagandhim post. 

What does it fuckin matter anyway?  Nothing i post matters.  I'm just a human toilet that should be shit on.  Yeah shit and piss all over me, everyone because who the fuck cares about me, right?? I post nothing valuable to this forum so it should all get deleted.  Hey everyone, it's Free Piss on the Propagandhim Toilet day.  Yeah.  I should just die.  You all would sell me out the lowest bidder but the biggest shitter any day of the week.

by the way my life has changed over the years in some drastically beneficial ways which I believe originated with posts you made on oldbore and I will not elaborate further so thanks buddy

Just be honest, you want "women" (but not all women, their tastes are imperfect and maddeningly remote) because you feel it justifies your hobby as something more socially relevant. Well, it doesn't. Shut the fuck up and get over it.

When they do bring up women's increased size in video games and attention is drawn to their overrepresentation in not only mobile games but practically zero of the traditional genres you get pages upon pages of wailing and gnashing of teeth and HOW DARE YOU STEREOTYPE WOMEN and I'M A LESBIAN AND I LOVE FIGHTING GAMES WITH HENTAI AND VORE ELEMENTS. Right, like I said you don't care about women in gaming except for how they reinforce and justify what you like. 

And so, because you're chasing a specific and entirely hypothetical type of woman, who likely will never be more than a small minority simply because of the demographics you demand, you find yourself trying to sanitize games for these hypothetical women, getting rid of the high heels, eliminating the popular cosplays, etc. And when I achieve this, she will thank me and reward me with her company. What more could a woman want from a man or lesbian than being given the entire gaming industry as a present?

Exactly, the weirdest thing has to be how the burka brigade types are never interested in types of media that women overwhelmingly enjoy like reality television, romantasy books and true crime. They only want their male-dominated interests to change in a performative way that think will attract women which just projects their lack of social interaction with the opposite sex.   
 
Imagine Echoes being forced to sit down in a book club with a bunch of women talking about the latest romantasy booktok craze, he wouldn’t last 5 seconds before running out crying that his opinion as a true and honest women is just as valid if not more

[Besticus Maximus]

 no im pretty sure if I have the right calibration of opinion on the hot button videogames issues of today a woman will finally collar me and make me a wife

I just need to be seen for who I am, then I can dig myself out of this misery

This is the most sexist post I've ever seen on The Bire.  

Alternative response: women who enjoy these things have not achieved class consciousness via learning the theory and doing the work.

On a more general level, it is funny that there's always this push to "OMG WE NEED WOMEN TO LOVE STAR WARS, DOOM, CALL OF DUTY, SUPERHEROES" etc. etc. but you never see this in the other direction. Where is Barbie 2 that tries to pander to the male crowd? Where is twilight but with two hot vampire chicks fighting over a nerdy loser? Where is my straight male Sex and the City showrunner who says that the show was inherently always for the guys and that it was about time the studios woke up to it?

That's legit cool and touching to hear.  Honestly honored that something I posted had that kind of impact, and in that spirit, I invite anyone else here to continue the healing journey through the mutual aid links in my bio if they want to experience a similar transformation

I wonder how that Ferrari thread would've gone if the car was a Tesla, and the owner wasn't even rich enough to afford the repairs.

It’s such bullshit. As if after Oppenheimer Nolan would suddenly produce a bad movie with a 250 million budget, R-rating and talent like Matt Damon and Robert Pattinson. 

Zendaya was great in Dune 1 + 2 why would she be bad in this film.

Please tell me people aren't getting ragebaited by Lupita making a joke about being woke to a 8th century greek poet for his screentime of women characters. I thought the "lean forward" part of the clip made it obvious 
 
 
 
Actually nevermind, it doesn't even matter the context or intention. There are just some topics we shouldn't be allowed to make jokes about without the proper trigger warnings lest some twitter clip chimper starts another culture war over it

The current World Cup is a disgusting sham and the Balogun situation is unprecedented, but 6500+ people died to make the Qatar World Cup happen. I think that's slightly worse than Balogun's red card being rescinded.

Again, they didnt. The 6500 number comes from a Guardian Article that had the headline "6500 workers die building the stadiums" but then in the article down below it clarified that the 6500 number refers to ALL deaths in a 10 year period among 2,000,000 migrant workers. So 6500 out of 2,000,000 people died of ALL causes, including natural, traffic accidents etc, in 10 years. Thats actually a lower rate of death than in western countries. But everyone ran with the headline.

Are the working conditiions in those countries bad? Of course. But spreading misinformation and fake news like this doesnt help anyone and honestly reeks of islamophobia. Not you, but the people who wrote those headlines and ran with it, knowing exactly that it was not the truth

But of course, fuck me for correcting misinformation I guess

It was a terrible red card. I really don't give two shits how it got overturned or not.

So basically 'fuck you, got mine'.

[Let's Cyber]

"dismissive/inflammatory commentary" is just a catch-all now, might as well just remove the ban messages and go back to the black box style moderation of old NeoGAF. Any semblance of transparency is a facade. 

They're also in that same place where so much power is given to ban-baiters. Many contentious threads turn into the meta game of tricking the person you disagree with into attracting the eye of Sauron. Or enabling the thread whiners to come rushing into "Wow, I guess we're just going to allow posts like this now, huh? " to get other posters banished to the shadow realm.
