Baphomet

None , they are serve a purpose , letting your feelings out , serious discussions (in the super rare moments where it works out well) and the super dumb ones are just fun reading entertainment.

"The only reason there's an outrage is because people defend the ad"

I wonder if that's the new tactic?The Daily Show had a segment about the AD but basically ignored the whole reason why people got upset at the ad and solely focused on right wing talking heads defending the ad

Pre-2008 Daily Show would have shown the leftists crying at the ad.

The conservatives are crashing out over an ad!

It's all been downhill for The Daily Show ever since Craig Kilborn left it.

How the fuck can you be in Euphoria and turns out to be Republican…

I know it's acting and yada yada but imagine playing alongside Hunter Schaffer for 2 seasons and ending up voting against your friend.

Gross.

These people are just fucking weird man

I'm pretty sure a large proportion of them fully believe that in real life these actors are the people they play on screen.

Well Tarantino alway puts that word in his movies.  And he makes white people and himself say it.  Sus.  Not Slick.  Very Sweeny like.

The way DiCaprio says it, "so casually," makes you wonder.  and he says it with the hard "R."  Of course, The Hard R is equal to The Soft A.  Both are equally offensive, just one more so.

napoleon would've turned out alright, he is absolutely not an era type

so little self awareness that he learns an entire dance routine rooted in disco and funk, a culture far removed from his own, or anything anyone in his small town would appreciate, just for the hell of it, and it's equal parts embarrassing and impressive

and he falls into an awkward little relationship with an awkward girl and presumably they both go off and be cringe together, like countless other middle americans

not the type to get into shouting matches over politics and wokeness online

Napoleon is what they COULD have been if they found their way rather than found their way to Resetera.

Hey, thanks for the approval!

I had enough of social medias and their sloppy algorithms pushing politics/dramas/shitposts all the way to my feed, so I decided to look for some good forums like in the golden days of the internet, and here I am.

None of that on Era.

Definitely none of that on Era.

This is what they mean with "asking a rhetorical question"

[BIONIC]

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 ☀️

At this rate we're gonna have to make a general thread about these type of ads which is very worrisome

Lmao

This is a sort of undercurrent to any discussion of relationships at really any scale. If you ask if, in this fan fiction about real people, Hunter should respect Sydney’s views, the answer is probably going to be “no”. They don’t understand what it means to view another as a fully realized person. Personally, I doubt I’d agree with her, but I’ll definitely respect Sydney’s views. Be they left, right, front, back.

For all we know working with Hunter Schafer could have radicalized Sweeney into being a TERF.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant and exposure to trans people is the biggest factor in "transphobia"

This site having people argue for payment processor censorship really shows you guys have zero opinion of anything except "the opposite of what resetera" says 

Upset you can't play your incest sim, are you? 

No one has argued for payment processor censorship anyway you fucking retard.

Hey man this is a free speech forum. If I were to post incest porn you'd have to just deal with it because this is not era. We can post what we want. Including incest porn.

I mean it's an A list actress fronting a campaign that is promoting white supremacist eugenics rhetoric that the white house and all of the right wing are latching onto to help not only push their agenda but also as ammo against the left by using plausible deniability to accuse us of being insane for pointing out it's true intentions.

Just look at this thread, a lot of people who believe they are on the left are also downplaying it's message and impact.

Now this won't suddenly mean America/the world will be Nazis from tomorrow but it will no doubt normalise this shit even more and allow even more heinous shit to be said without consequences.

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.

Some groups of people are just upset sweeney looks good yet attainable.

The divas that put on too much make-up to hide their real looks, non-whites, the trans freaks like Agatha, women unable to control their eating habits and the women that hit the wall HARD. They all hate the average white natural hot girl(s) the most. They all fear that if this is 'normalized' you won't get away with looking like an orc and you're no longer a 10/10 by default. Especially when its tied to a jeans brand. If it was Porsche or a $5000 dress or whatever, they wouldn't care, it's no threat. Mainstream $20 - $50 jeans brand? The hive is in danger. It's an emotional response and thus makes no sense.
