I must say I feel pretty vindicated for never having liked any of his shit music.

Can we not? The whole "patting myself on the back because I disliked someone's art before they did something terrible" thing is very annoying whenever it pops up in a thread and it kind of undermines the seriousness of what the person has done.

It's much better to be honest and recognize that a man who put out a couple of the most acclaimed albums of all time ended up becoming a literal Nazi than to say, "I'm vindicated! I always knew The College Dropout was shit!"

Boo hoo

Considering the subject matter, responding like this really isn't a good look for you.

Wow.

Speaking of shills. Crossing Eden barely posts in the Andor thread. Meanwhile in the Acolyte thread he had over 300 posts! OVER 300! Same with Ahsoka! FJ, who also always defends terrible Star Wars crap hasn't posted in the Andor thread at all! This motherfucker always goes on about representation and then ignores the best thing Disney Star Wars has ever made that also happens to have a Latino in the leading role.

What the fuck, why are these dudes more interested in shilling terrible fucking shows than celebrating a legitimately great one? 

Cancel culture was never about the people being "cancelled", it's about the people doing the "cancelling". It's their culture, they're so immersed in it and don't see anything wrong with it, and instead of recognising that, they insist it doesn't exist at all. Like when people claim that they've never met an annoying vegan. Rather than recognising that they agree with them and thus don't find them annoying, they insist they don't actually exist. 

There was a time when your irrational hatred of a random celebrity was something you could only share with people you actually knew personally and they mostly didn't care and just thought you were a crank (see: complaining about co-workers talking about anything Harry Potter related). But now you can go online and find jerks just like you! And you can tell each other how great you are and how much worse everyone you disagree with is! The internet has brought you together and made you so much worse.

People like Crossing Eden just need a bad guy to rail against and feel superior to. They don't post about enjoying things unless their enjoyment marks them as a better person. See also that other Disney weirdo (the one who isn't Jeff) who loves to insist that not liking something that happens to include non-white people can only be due to racism, without ever targeting anyone in particular. He's probably also the one who spends the most time bringing up what the chuds think. Normal people don't care (who the fuck are these "chuds" and why am I supposed to care what they think?) but when cancel culture is your entire personality, do you even exist without an ideological enemy to bitch endlessly about?

It's not just an era problem either, this mindset has basically fucked modern leftism.

So 2025 has been a year, from my grandmother passing away, me having to find somewhere else to live and not getting a promotion at my job and now this it's been tough. I've not been close to my dad for awhile since he was a crummy dad growing up and treating me different than my brother and ruining my parents relationship. However it's been 7 years since they separated and I've always wanted him to be happy but I know he hasn't been taking care of himself for awhile. I've tried to become closer with him but we're just different and I find I put more effort into the relationship and it's noticeable I'm on the low end of his priorities. Anyways saw some family on his side I haven't seen in a while today and it was fine. We were civil but I don't imagine once my dad is better we'll have much communication still and that's fine.
I did however have a really hard moment though with my brother today. Im not super close with my brother but love my nephews they're sweet kids. My oldest nephew is 2 and came to visit my dad in the hospital and he did great. As we were leaving I was trying to ask my nephew the car coming down the street if it was a fire truck knowing it was an ambulance and my brother chirped at me and said some nasty words and just the way he said it gave me flashbacks of how my dad used to talk to me growing up. Other people were around and my other family too and a bunch of them started laughing at what my brother said. I went quiet and quickly went to my car and once they left the parking lot I just balled. It just felt like I re-lived a moment but coming from my brother. They came back to where I was staying to grab a few things before heading home. I never mentioned anything to them and once they left I just broke down again. It's tough, I love my dad but he did fuck me up in a lot of ways and seeing my brother similar I hope he never treats his kids that way.

So yeah today was shitty so tomorrow has to be better.

I appreciate your post a lot. Growing up I was also looked below from my brother. I wasn't the athletic so my dad didn't really know to engage with me and I also struggled with a learning disability for many years. Went to a lot of tutors and clinics. I've done really well and while I still struggle sometimes with my comprehension or certain words being tricky to pronounce most people wouldn't notice. However growing up my dad always kinda talked down to me or just call me the R word. So that's always stuck with and its a big trigger for me. He hasn't talked like that for a long time but I know he finds it hard to relate to me. And same with my brother, he's more similar to my dad than he believes and it kinda became more clear today.

I assume it's possible "star lord" is 40 and still lives at home while overweight and pops saw what was happening. Or pops was just a dick. 50/50.

[Boredfrom]

Being fair, I think he shouldn’t say all this in a public forum as ERA.


Whatever he is a victim or just painting himself as that, I dunno. I just don’t feel the “funny” about this particular story.

Think whenever these guys post about their real lives it’s revealing that it’s not a space for well rounded adults who want to chat about a hobby. Used to be that way. You could have a guy with a family, respectable career, healthy bmi, who just so happened to really like those 80 hour Tales of Xanparia jrpgs. And that guy could in turn offer reasonable advice for the oddball users, because he has life experiences.

One of the best examples of this is OnkelC. 

Dude was older, very successful and quite normal. Posted regularly at neogaf. He signed up for Resetera in 2017 and only has a total of 1291 posts. He was posting 1000 times a year at NeoGoof.

It’s always been my theory that the reason so many once great online communities are like they are now is because the normal people aged out and left the maladjusted weirdos running the place.

It’s not a coincidence that all the oddball groups who used to get made fun of are now community leaders.

This is in the UK lol. I've basically just had my whole life up ended because someone called an ambulance for a very brief seizure after hitting my head hard. Gonna lose the car and house over basically nothing all because someone made the call. Chances are my marriage will end over this too and I'd have still had it all had they just not made that call

It's not the financial side it's the legal side combined with our situation. We're rural, but now I can't drive for who knows how long and I'm a carer for my wife and acting as such for 4 more family members. We can't stay in this house with no car, but we can't afford any others in the area so we're likely gonna have to go our own ways. Just a huge mess over such a minor thing where I didn't need an ambulance at all

Wut?

Can we please not do this, acting like the best way to determine the popularity of a women is through porn.



It's demeaning, juvenile, pretty flawed logic, objectifying, implies women who aren't conviently attractive or aren't designed to be attractive can't be popular, implies men's opinions are more valid the men, degrades women to just our bodies and deeply problematic; especially so much porn of characters like Tracer erases her lesbian identity (which quite blunt speaks poorly to the artist and the fans of that art, I'm sorry but if you fantasy requires the erasure of queer identites, you fantasy is awful and bigoted and I will judge you for it, same with artists that erase trans identites)

https://www.resetera.com/threads/why-are-non-drinkers-given-such-a-hard-time-in-society.1186587/

I'm a moderate drinker, but I'm a live and let live person here. But the social pressure to drink, if you're a non drinker is rather insane--at least in American culture. Also, forget about things like sporting events and many types of restaurants. Nightlife, forget about it lol.

There's been the rise of non-alcoholic beers and cocktails--mocktails. There's also be a rising sobriety movement, but it seems the culture still very much pro drinking, especially at social events.

It's kinda weird. Social pressure is not really seen as big as in drinking. Cars, jobs, clothing. Most don't care about these, but if you pass a drink at a social event, people go nuts.

He should give examples of how social pressure to drink is overwhelming if he wants me to believe he's not just a weak-willed person or a High Schooler. (or a robot that watches TV/Movies to get his human knowledge) 

Pro Tip: Once you're an adult, if someone tries to pressure you into drinking when you don't want to, you can simply tell them to fuck off.
