Era's sole purpose is to make other people feel miserable for enjoying things. 

Mitchell and Webb are back and of course era had to tell everybody not to watch it because Webb is transphobic. But  the cancel didn't work because there was too many people that like Mitchell and Webb. 

Era is pure distilled hypocrisy. They love telling people not to watch somebody because they're problematic, but if they like them they'll pull any excuse in the book to continue to watch.

And again, I bring up the example from earlier. Black Americans tried to seek asylum in Canada from the conditions of American barbarism. Canada rejected them. So when I, a Black person, see what Canadians really think of Black people and American colonialism, how am I to be moved by appeals to allyship when the colonialism you were comfortable with idly watching finally comes for you?

 

This is a really bad strategy to make your entire identity about being a victim of white racism, and then to always seek asylum from white people by always picking the country with a lot of white people to seek asylum to, and to admit you're constantly getting burned by said white people.  But what do I know?  I don't got tha theory.

An 80-90 million 3-day would be behind GotG 3 and Quantumania, but ahead of The Marvels.

So that's something.

Saw a headline about the cinemascore. My understanding is it polls ordinary audiences after showings ti gauge mass appeal. Anyway, it’s the lowest for a marvel (or dc) movie at B-. Only above stuff like Morbius and Madame Web.

On the other end, Alita Battle Angel is an A-. The choice is clear for Disney. Cancel Marvel 36 and use it to make Alita movies.

Cinemascores are notoriously high. Even a B is basically just a bad movie. One of those things where an A isn't going to help, but anything lower and the word of mouth can kill.

I was curious if he said something particularly harsh about trans people but it was nothing, and that’s enough to get you labelled transphobic, just because you don’t swallow wholesale what these gender extremists peddle, and they wonder why support is falling off a cliff.

https://www.thepinknews.com/2021/04/15/robert-webb-transphobic-trans-kids-charity-mermaids-jesse-thorn-bullseye-podcast/

In the since-deleted tweet, Robert Webb shared an article written by Turner and hit out at trans youth charity Mermaids, saying the organisation “sucks”. He later described himself as a “gender-critical feminist”.

In April 2020, Webb told The Times he didn’t regret his comments, adding: “Once you say, ‘I’m not transphobic, but…’ It’s a disaster.”

Robert Webb replied: “Janice Turner wrote this column, I can’t even really remember what her specific objections were but they made sense to me at the time and I retweeted it approvingly. And then it was a kind of, there was this feeling that if you criticise a charity, that is the way a charity operates or its methodology, that is the same thing as criticising the client base.

“It was just a really weird way of looking at it, and the whole debate is really overheated and it’s impossible to really talk about this or say anything even remotely reasonable without what I say being used as a vehicle for another round of defamation and abuse, really, so it’s not a topic I tend to dive into anymore at all, really.”

And there begins the problem, question any of it, and it’s instant abuse and labels of bigot etc

I can’t remember, Jesse, really. It was the end of 2018 and it’s not something that I really want to talk about.

“I know that when my oldest kid came out to me when she was in kindergarten, I was really reliant on an organisation called Gender Spectrum that does many of the same things that Mermaids does. And so many people don’t understand what the best practices are for caring for trans kids,” Thorn said.

I’m sorry, but no, your kid didn’t come out as trans at that age, they believe a fairy takes away therie teeth, that an Easter bunny brings them chocolate eggs and a fat man delivers presents at night for Christmas, they will believe whatever the parent pushes on them, and id willingly bet that’s what happened here, this person pushed their ideals on their child and hey presto…you got yourself a trans kid at like 5 years old when they don’t even know what sex is (you fucking weirdo for pushing that on your child)

Watching a dubbed version of Charlie’s Angels 201…8? The one with the lovely   in it.

Why didn’t this have a weirdo culture war angle. Why hasn’t anyone ever said “Charlie’s Angels is good, actually.”

Who decides these things.

There was some fun stuff going on with the director Elizabeth Banks (who I usually like as an actor). Initially she talked about how this movies is for everyone but mostly for women and young girls out there and even made metoo comparisons.

“One of the statements this movie makes is that you should probably believe women,”

(...)

“When we were casting the movie, I wanted really fresh faces. I wanted a diverse cast. It’s important that women, the audience for this movie, sees themself in some part of this movie. I think that’s really important. I want the audience to feel a sense of ownership over the film, that they could be in this movie, that they could live in this world, it’s a real message. It’s a movie that I want to entertain all audiences but I did want to make something that felt important to women and especially young girls.”

https://cosmicbook.news/elizabeth-banks-regrets-woke-metoo-charlie-angels-marketing

Then after the movie failed she complained that men don't watch female led movies

When it comes to inclusivity in Hollywood, Banks believes that paying attention to it ultimately makes good business sense. “When you think about what has been put out in the media, it’s mostly from a cisgendered white male perspective. Everything that’s not that feels a little bit fresher and so it feels like pretty good business. I’m the audience, I want things that I haven’t seen before. My real plea is for men to have enough empathy to go see movies starring women because I’ve been asked to go see movies starring men my entire life, and I’ve happily  done so. I don’t know why men don’t return that fucking favor.”

https://www.fastcompany.com/90424854/elizabeth-banks-made-charlies-angels-to-celebrate-women-at-work

Then later she complained that the movie wasn't marketed enough towards men and that this was all fault of the Marketing side and not hers

It was very stressful, partly because when women do things in Hollywood it becomes this story. There was a story around “Charlie’s Angels” that I was creating some feminist manifesto. I was just making an action movie. I would’ve liked to have made “Mission: Impossible,” but women aren’t directing “Mission: Impossible.” I was able to direct an action movie, frankly, because it starred women and I’m a female director, and that is the confine right now in Hollywood. I wish that the movie had not been presented as just for girls, because I didn’t make it just for girls. There was a disconnect on the marketing side of it for me.

To their voter base soldiers are heroes. They don't want a trans hero because that fucks up the optics. They don't want to have to throw a parade for a trans person who kills the head of ISIS or whatever. They don't want active soldiers who have formed deep bonds with their trans brothers and sisters in arms. That engenders empathy and complicates their narrative.

I imagine trans people in police is the next target

Sounds like an amazing deal for transgender people, to be honest. You really wanna die serving an oligarchy?

I mean, I think they'd like to CHOOSE to not to die serving an oligarchy 👀

The reason why they're having trouble recruiting is because cishet white people can't meet the requirements.

I'm sure they'll make the only qualification one requires going forward is being a white supremacist though so...

Actually, being sent to death by the military industrial complex and its shifting priorities that I never believe in is good.

[benji]

Far too many didn't care in the years trans people have been shouting about it and only care now that it's in full swing because there's nothing left between them and what they face. Even then that care is usually centred on what it will now mean for them rather than those currently being targeted.

Or maybe we don't care because we know how the American government actually operates rather than being a UKian who thinks the President has the nigh unlimited power of a PM with a supermajority?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/gen-x-is-ultra-maga-what-happened.1109700/#post-135803223

yeah it's basically a lot of social values formed by watching too much TV and not having the internet when growing up, and then later being specifically targeted when they are online.

Having the internet when growing up didn't stop most of Era from being anti-social scumbags who despise and blame everyone else for their own self-inflicted problems.

let me tell you a truth about living in the US right now.

If I owned a gun I wouldn't be here talking to you.

Don't sound like a truth about living in the US right now, just sounds like a truth about yourself.

It's hard to swallow the "america is too big" excuse when we all watched a bunch of morons almost overthrow the government on January 6th

We did? This never happened.

These people can't even remember that Donald Trump was President on January 6th.

What Haitians had to do to achieve liberation would be bannable here to be discussed as strategy, but in general I imagine the shock and awe of the matter would get you called "disgusting" by a bunch of non-Black folks for "justifying" the conflict as if the justification weren't already self-evident.

Was the authoritarian monarchy immediately (well, okay, after more than a decade of "revolution") established by Dessalines that collapsed into civil war upon his assassination part of the "liberation" they achieved?

Fear does not justify reactionary analysis. It does not justify poor analysis. And it does not justify hypocrisy.

And again, I bring up the example from earlier. Black Americans tried to seek asylum in Canada from the conditions of American barbarism. Canada rejected them. So when I, a Black person, see what Canadians really think of Black people and American colonialism, how am I to be moved by appeals to allyship when the colonialism you were comfortable with idly watching finally comes for you?

Some people expect blood from minorities when you couldn't even offer shelter for us. I have no interest in entertaining the thought of Black bodies on the front of a war between two countries who are ultimately my political enemy. It's not in the cards and anyone getting indignant about that is a selfish fool.

But Canada rather famously accepted Black Americans fleeing the actual tyranny of slavery versus Black Americans "fleeing" the wealthiest nation in human history.

Just remember, in addition to being a groomer, plagiarize is also an employee at a prison

I need you guys to stop saying this. He does not and has never worked at a prison. He does IT for the sheriffs department.

There needs to be something more, like an escalation. Something that really hurts them, hurts the oligarchs, hurts Trump and Musk. They need to pay for what they're doing, cuz they've declared a class war. Maybe storm the White House and overthrow them? That's a possibility.

Well, it's not because we have a line of succession and other ways of determining who is the legitimate head of the government other than who happens to physically be in the White House.

This is beyond optimistic about trans people in the military. They're more likely to sell military secrets for drugs than anyone who even sees combat.

Hear me out, what is the reason for the gooner bait on this level from certain Japanese developers? Is it cause Japanese people are not having sex? Although that goes for many young people all over the world now, due to economic, emotional, and personal reasons. But this would discourage them to form real life connections or even hook up. Or just seeing that young males buy a lot of gooner bait, so it's purely capitalist reasons? Like there are whales for anime or gacha games. Have they never experimented to try one game without gooner bait and one with, to see what sold more? Or focus groups to see what people would buy?

They're just perpetuating that young males only care to objectify women, and can lead to them doing that in real life as you see with incels. And we see the real world violence towards women that happens. But targeting only horny young males means they restrict their economic and demographic potential, surely? Do they not even run focus groups to find out if other demographics would be interested to buy the game based on the designs and characters? It's not like when Hollywood targets the 4 quadrants with big blockbusters, trying to appeal to the masses so they can get return on investment.

What an incredibly stupid question. You can't compare it to Hollywood because Hollywood starts from the premise of "everybody on Earth" as their target market, not "people known to purchase this product already." (Which already restricts the size of the budget so as not need to seek everybody on Earth to get a return.)

"Don't they focus group???" yells the idiot who thinks developers should start from a blank slate rather than developing in the lines of what they personally like.

Like if you show up at the Marines today and would obviously fail the physical standards without tons of effort they aren't going to take you. But if there was a draft of all males the Army would definitely force you to meet the physical standards, it wouldn't go "oh, he's exempt." That's kind of one of the distinctions between voluntary and mandatory service.

There's a lack of protest because Americans are fat and lazy. Notice how Ree is all about revolution but the most hardcore also seem to be suffering from some mental or physical disease that makes it impossible to protest. Fuck outta here. They just talk shit on the internet. If they went outside, normal folkx would make fun of them.

there's a lack of protest because in spite of all their bitching, most peoples' lives are comfortable and they don't want to jeopardize what they have

you protest when you are literally starving and dying

for most people? "if I get killed in a protest I won't get to play the next zelda or watch the all-new daisy ridley-led star wars film"

things have to be bad enough that there is nothing left to look forward to, or you expect to die before that anyway

Known wife buyer asking the burning questions.

With Japanese games though women are usually not objects, it's more like romance novels and often written by women. When series like Fire Emblem and Zelda switched from male writers to female writers the simple: "Dude collected the items, killed the dragon and saved the princess" stories evolved to Link and Zelda being in an actual 'emotional' relationship, with Link having a Zora side bitch he didn't remember. Plus it's not just the women, the boys are 'pretty', 'buff' or 'handsome' too even the villains. 

When it comes to treating women like objects I'm thinking more in lines of gangsta rap and stuff like that but you never see that degrading, spanking, tossing money in their face in a Japanese video game. Instead you need to grind 5 battles to find that one tea flavor she likes to upgrade her charm stat so you get another awkward interaction between a 1000 year old dragon and her handsome knight. 

And they did focus group this, Japanese games, Japan in general, Sushi and anime are more popular than ever... among women 

[benji]

Meanwhile, us anarchists are like "no, state, please leave me alone and stop asking me to do things for you" and the state is all "lol no! NEVER!"

[benji]

And they did focus group this, Japanese games, Japan in general, Sushi and anime are more popular than ever... among women 

This is true, Messofanego's post is kind of xenophobic racist Japanophobic about Japanese culture in general. A lot of Japanese "tropes" would seem less weird or problematic if you keep most everything the same but altered the mechanics of the interaction to more American mores and openness. It's ironic because Messofanego is from a South Asian culture but he doesn't seem to recognize the more typically Asian type of courting even though it's how he got his wife.

Women as the empowered pursuer of men is an incredibly American/Western European thing. They don't even seem to recognize how long American sitcoms have portrayed single women as the central characters with complete and the only agency despite this being incredibly unique culturally. They probably think Sex and the City was the first rather than a just mildly less censored version of an already culturally strong presentation.

"That doesn't count because those characters weren't proud of it and often shown as wanting more traditional things" yells the "media literate" at me, ignoring what the personal goal of every character and the source of all the drama in Sex of the City was.
