This literally could've been another case of an Islamist terror attack like the Charlie Hebdo shooting but REEEEE's Gaza brainrot is terminal to the point they will literally side with the cause of a synagogue shooter because he's brown so that means he's pro-pally JUST LIKE ME!

I get not wanting your children see a show where Trans Issues are discussed with the grace of a Tumblr post but using a dead show that Libs of TikTok just discovered to moan about it? 

Musk's anti-Netflix effort kicked off on Tuesday. Musk posted "This is not ok" in quoting the right-wing activist account Libs of TikTok's surfacing of a clip of Netflix's "Dead End: Paranormal Park" in which the protagonist says he is transgender. "Dead End Paranormal Park, a show on Netflix, is pushing pro-transgender on CHILDREN. This show is advertised for 7-YEAR-OLDS," Libs of TikTok said, referring to Netflix's TV-Y7 rating, meaning the show is suitable for viewers aged 7 or older. (Netflix canceled "Dead End: Paranormal Park" after two seasons and it is not currently promoting the show.)

U.S. citizens burn Mormon Churchs and the English British citizen of Syrian descent* attack the synagogues.

Hey chud maybe don't discuss this? The killer wasn't white. Didn't you get the email or are you not on the leftist mail list?

Sony where is my kpop demon hunters game

Having a AAA KPop Demon Hunters game would add a ton visual, gameplay and tonal variety to PlayStation's first party lineup while also attracting a new audience to the PS5 so of course they wouldn't make it. 
  
Don't worry little PlayStation fan, Uncle Sony got enough cinematic third-person revenge tales, hero shooter service games and sad dad adventures to feed you your entire life.

Drone warfare has changed up the game. A lot of ships are obsolete. Aircraft carriers will be out the door eventually because you will want air superoririty with cheap drones who will dive bomb you by the 100s. It's a large waste of money. Like, it'll go to war and a drone army shaped like Rumi from K-pop demon hunters is gonna dive bomb it while playing golden.

are you trying to get me banned?!

While the show tells us that Barney's parents are doing the bare minimum, there are many who believe they go far and beyond more than he admits and believe the dinner with grandma was just one bad move on their part. The show shows they openly call him his preferred name and pronouns even when they believe he's not around, have heavily implied to help with the money for his transitioning , try to keep him at family events, and are actually worried about him running away and try to get him home. As a result, they believe it's less them being unsupportive but more of the fact Grammy Gram has always been a difficult person to deal with, which the show having the mother admitting she has a hard time confronting her mother.

I mean, I will complain about this given the show intended audience, but it should be noted that the show was greenlighted during the era when Anti Racism Baby was considered as a show for babies.  

Also, the show was niche of the niche until LibsTikTok and Elon put it in the spotlight.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/my-wife-said-she-doesnt-feel-the-same-about-me-ive-never-felt-so-alone-in-my-life-also-is-the-world-just-completely-fucked-now.1314745/

Hi all....apologies for the depressing thread, there is nothing anybody can do to help nor do I expect that, just getting something off my chest really. I don't even have a plan for what I'm writing and it may end up being a long essay in which case I don't even necessarily expect anyone to read it all.



But if you do have some words that might help or have been through similar yourself I'd love to hear it.



I'm 34 from the UK, I met my wife (or girlfriend at the time) in 2017. We met on Reddit, I live in Wales, she lived in London. We had a cute online romance for a while and would travel to meet each other on the bus. On meeting her, I fell in love pretty much immediately. She is beautiful, intelligent, caring, aware of the world, funny, dedicated, HOT, a mental health nurse. She is even somehow a socialist and ally despite growing up with rich parents in a private Catholic girl's school in Oxford UK. Just, one of the best people in the world. I'm not even just saying that because of how heartbroken I am right now. Everyone who meets her says the same thing. She is the embodiment of a ray of sunshine.



Soon after meeting, she moved to Cardiff to be with me. She had been a nurse in London for a long time and was burnt out, traumatised, had an eating disorder, suffered from crippling anxiety, and had a past of being suicidal. She had been planning to move to Newcastle to be with her parents to escape London, and changed that to Cardiff when she met me.



The next few years were a dream come true. I supported her, loved her, helped her overcome her anxiety and eating disorders through love and care. She did the same thing for me with all my issues. We were as strong as a couple could be, we faced everything together and backed each other up in all situations. We bought a house near the coast - she grew up in the most central part of England so that was a dream come true for her, she couldn't believe her luck living by the beach. We had a lovely house and worked on improving it, I got into gardening and most summers we didn't have to buy vegetables or herbs at all, I got so productive at it. She still worked as a nurse because getting out of the NHS is hell, but her job here was easier than London and she went from critical accident and emergency jobs to a more office based position which cheered her up a bit. She also went from shift work to 9-5 which meant a good sleeping pattern and routine for the first time in her adult life. Looking at it back now is like one of those flashbacks in colour in a film when everything else is grey and depressing. Quite literally everything was perfect. And yes part of this was 2020. Even that year we were living the dream.



We got married in 2023. Unquestionably, the best day of my life. Certainly, the proudest. Fuck, you should see what she looked like, and how happy we were. I know everyone in that room was wondering how the fuck I got her. She gave a speech about how much she loved me and everything I'd done for her.



The rest of 2023 was great, just enjoying life together. In 2024, everything kinda went bad. Not with our relationship, just with life. Her brother fainted in a petrol station and smashed his head on the counter. The staff put him in his car and left him for 5 hours with a bleed on the brain instead of calling for an ambulance. He was in a coma and still hasn't fully recovered. I know that scarred her for life, she had therapy to deal with it. Then a bunch of other shit things happened, I can't even list all of them there's too many, I sprained my ankle in the middle of training for a trail run and could barely walk for weeks, I also had serious pneumonia from covid and was coughing up blood and basically still in bed for almost a month. We had leaks in the roof that cost 20k to fix. At the end of the year, after dealing with all of that, my boss let me go by surprise after an 8 year stable, well paid, career. Even worse, he told me I had done nothing wrong, and that he just was bored of that business and wanted to go into another. We were both crushed and in shock, I basically spent 2 days crying.



But my career had been in marketing, and I had made a lot of companies a lot of money in that time, so I knew I had the skills to fix things. I decided I didn't want to apply for jobs and essentially risk the same thing happening again in a few years, so instead I started doing the same marketing tasks on a self employed basis, reaching out to old clients and trying to build up my own business that way. At the start it was really hard and I was penniless, some days I couldn't eat. But it went well and I earned more and more every month and as of July I've been making as much as I was before. Don't get me wrong, my life is a lot harder, I have to go out and fight for it with new clients every month rather than just, making it from working every day like you do working for someone else. But I made progress and I felt good. The aim was to keep growing until hopefully she could stop working and have a rest.



My own routine and health took a MASSIVE hit in this time. I went from running and going to the gym most days and eating perfectly, to not running or going to the gym at all and not eating well. It was meant to be maybe for 2-3 months but I haven't gotten back to it all year. But I did this by choice, I needed to throw myself into work to improve our lives and any money spent on those things was better invested in things to help me get work or grow, or so I thought.



She trained for a multi stage ultramarathon this year - 250km in 5 days. It took a lot of training as you can imagine. With her focusing on that and me focusing on work, we haven't been going on dates or having fun as much as we used to. But, I thought this was ok, I thought it was purposeful. She was working on the biggest achievement of her life thus far, and I was working on fixing our finances and future. She achieved the ultra in September and I've never been so proud of anyone.



On Tuesday this week, she said she doesn't feel the same way about me anymore and we should take a break and not live with each other for 2 weeks....



I asked why and she straight up said I haven't done anything wrong and she hates to hurt me but she just doesn't feel the same and part of it is that the last year or two have been so hard. I don't understand that at all, it's not been hard because of us, and the relationship I thought was perfect. Yes life sucks but it does for everyone and we were a team through it all. Me spending so much time on work was only intended to make life better from us, I could have got an entry level job in a shop if I knew this would happen, I don't give a fuck about having money if it's not to make her life better and enjoy it with her.



I don't bring up the "I haven't done anything wrong" part to make me sound perfect, obviously we had ups and downs like any marriage, I have hurt her and annoyed her a lot of times in the past. But I bring it up to 1) compare to the fucking boss who essentially said the same thing, and 2) to clarify that there was no cheating, or big arguments, or aggression, or any clear cut thing that would explain this. She told everyone in her life I was the perfect husband and kept telling me how everyone at work was jealous of me. And now she just....doesn't know.



We're going to spend 2 weeks apart to think clearly and see how much we miss each other but I'm fucking terrified that it'll make us drift and make her realise she's better off without me. I can't do shit if that happens and have always thought she's too good for me so I'd essentially have to say oh well, that's done, lol. I don't want to be that clingy guy that won't leave her alone and keeps texting her while we're meant to be having a break but the alternative is sitting alone waiting and hoping and crying. Of course there is a chance things will turn out fine, I know marriages go through issues like this a lot, and we've always loved each other enough to get through anything - but she seems so distant now, she is not herself, she can't even hug me properly, it feels like I have cheated or something in the way she responds to me, but nothing fucking happened.



I'm just realising that in the time since we've met, I've slowly been shedding friends. I have my 3 or 4 closest friends from school that I still talk to, but most others I have fallen out of touch with. Partly because I was so happy with her that I didn't need anyone else but I Realise how fucking stupid that was now. Even for those close friends, their girlfriends and wives are good friends with her and we often went on double dates etc. I don't want to vent to them about everything because I'm not ready for them to know. I don't want our issues to be fucking dinner table gossip. But that means I have nobody to talk to about this except her, which I can't and I'm going insane.



If we break up I'm truly hopeless, everything I like about myself or have been proud of in the last almost decade has been related to her. And even if things work out and we stay together forever, I'm not sure I can ever get over this.



Anyway, sorry. Nobody here can help me and I wouldn't ask you to but even just typing that out has helped a little, lol.



Side note/broader topic - is the world just fucked now? I know it is politically and that knocks on with everything else but jesus christ. It feels like I get bad news every 3 months. Not just small bad news but the major type that would be life changing a few years ago. Now it's just a normal thing. Is it like this for everyone lately?

Lol, little rich girl finally got tired of her toy.

Like, it'll go to war and a drone army shaped like Rumi from K-pop demon hunters is gonna dive bomb it while playing golden.

Wouldn't this be the same risk from regular airplanes? Those only turned aircraft carriers into the most valuable thing in existence? 

edit: Would this tactic that's been used against SCUDs not continue to be viable?
1. Drones launch.
2. Move aircraft carrier slightly to out of range.
3. Watch drones all fall into ocean.
4. Move aircraft carrier back and bomb place into oblivion.

Also, the US doesn't have battleships because there's no other navies to fight. Trump's afraid of China so it would be reasonable in his view. Drones don't change this, drones won't be fighting in shipping lanes in the open ocean.

Or, just launch a B2 stealth bomber and drop massive bombs from near orbit undetected.

That thread about the guy malding his wife doesn't love him any more got hidden from public or closed. Guess OP sobered up and realized he shouldn't be venting about his marital crisis on a videogame forum.

And it's a Muslim background immigrant too. Fucking piece of shit. Good job, you just made life a lot more difficult not only for the victims, but for everyone else. Piece of shit.

Also has been going on a tear at the chuds since yesterday. Hope he’s doing okay :(

He deleted all his JEFF CHECKING from the last couple of days except for the one tweet that actually has likes

Maybe it's time I make a Twitter account and like his Jeff Checking tweets so he doesn't delete them.  I'm tired of him deleting his Nazi pwning tweets 

imagine a bot that always immediately replies to him with a screenshot of that tweet

I thought for sure it would be a maga white guy, because they are the ones always yelling about jews/Israel these days. Anyway I hate the effect this might have on UK's muslim population because they are already facing so many hardships from the legacy (white) population in the uk already

There is some really awful takes in this thread. As someone that has being listening to Simon Cardy on the IGN UK podcast for years, the idea that he has no media literacy is laughable. He's an incredibly switched on guy and knows what he is talking about. You only have to hear him talk about his favourite directors(or snacks) for a bit to get this. You may not agree with the article/video but let's not be stupid. He is nowhere near the Boss Baby tweet and anyone should feel silly for posting it in relation to his work.

A games journalist with opinions on movies AND snacks? I deeply apologize for casting aspersions on this titan of intellect and analysis.

The funny thing is that ADL has been accused of being ProIsrael and anti Palestine way before the current conflict. ERA didn’t care enough until their favorite influencer started to bitch about it.

Era didn't even know what Palestine was until Hamas murdered some Jews at a music festival and then the Jews decided to murder everyone in retaliation.

Also also, a big fact about the show that I don't see many bringing up: 
 
It ended three years ago. Musk and his twitter ilk are getting riled up by ragebait about a show that ended three years ago. These are not very smart people or they either don't care and just need a new talking point for the day.

Okay Benji, I will bite because I’m curious on you reasoning it: Can you explain this idea?

you can be pro free speech and also dislike things

you can be pro free speech and say "ugh this show is awful and shouldn't have been made" while understanding that its creators had every right to make it

you could be hoping that everyone else exercised THEIR free speech in trashing it and denouncing it

you can wish others hadn't said things, or wish they agreed with you or held different opinions

none of that has anything to do with you actively stifling their speech

I'm going to venture that he means you can be a supporter of free speech and also cancel your $13/month subscription to person of gender indoctrination of two year olds masquerading as television(and encourage others to do the same until Netflix stops producing and offering such garbage). "Voting with your wallets" is the kind of free speech that companies actually listen to for their decisions.

This mother fucker says that joke after signing a contract that he couldn't make fun of religion or the people watching his show.

Outside of that, I agree with the reasoning (the same reason why Teslas stoped selling  ) but is rich coming from a dude that went mad every time a private company did the same but with stuff he agreed with. To the point of saying he was going to pay the lawsuits of people wrongfully terminated by cancel culture.
