This asshole couldn't even watch the video that, in his own words, is apparently circulating around. How susceptible are you to not even question, let alone verify, any random account online.
It's crazy. These are 40 year old nerds posting on video game forums. They're the demographic that should be sharpened to how sketchy online information is. Trained on countless fake Dark Knight 3 posters with Neil Patrick Harris as The Riddler. Yet they've leaped straight to facebook boomers getting bamboozled by photoshopped images of Obama putting on a Biden skinsuit

"They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others."
They shot her and dumped her body overboard? They gave her cement shoes and told her she'd be sleeping with the fishes? They tried to lynch her while yelling "THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY"?
They raped her, killed her and held her body hostage until Hamas surrendered?
Oh, sorry, that was Hamas.

Nepenthe wrote:not the systemic violence that Black people go through everyday and have gone through everyday throughout our centuries'-long dialectical history with white people
Nepenthe wrote:There is nothing within this philosophy for the Black person beyond a black hole where the revolutionary and humanist energy we need to save ourselves goes to simply vanish. We are not considered part of liberals' political purview because we are already so colonized and oppressed by the system they seek to maintain that there is no point to consideration towards us. Essentially, every other social fight liberals wage is essentially a fight for the groups lucky enough to be given consideration and "representation" to not to be niggerized, a fight to not end up like us, not to actually save Black people from the conditions with which liberals ultimately agree should continue to exist. When they're fighting for access to healthcare, they're not fighting for Black people because our healthcare has been fucked forever. When they're fighting for affordable housing, it's so the peoples who deserve to be housed don't end up in the hoods or on the streets like we are.
Klein does not give a shit about people like me. He cares about politicians and capitalists. Violence against them is over the line. Violence against people like me is so normalized and part of the fabric of life that when he sees Kirk- who I must remind people was a fucking Nazi- getting blown away, we don't even enter in his head. There's no space within his head for Black people at all. It's like nothing.
A useless person for a useless cause within a dying nation. Coates shouldn't have even fucking bothered staying on the interview after that admittance. But none of this is true. In either form of liberalism. It doesn't say anything about "Black people" for the same reason it doesn't say anything about "left-handed people" or "people who play Titanfall 2 a decade after it came out" because it's not about groups and their relative standings to each other. It's about equality between individuals. American liberalism has been hijacked by interest group politics because it's politically expedient and powerful and because American progressivism is obsessed with groups but it's not inherent to the ideology. I would suspect that "liberals" of the type she's talking about, like Klein, would reject that they are. They would argue that their interest group obsession is simply the means to the end which is the same as the regular liberalism: equal freedom for all people.
Nepenthe fundamentally rejects this because all that matters to her is how to bring about a situation where one group, herself, dominates all others. "Liberalism" of any form can't offer anything to "Black people" for her because she believes what Black people "need" is the global mass murder and permanent impoverishment of billions. And anything less will continue to be "violence" against "Black people" aka her. Only a system in which Nepenthe is always prioritized can be acceptable to Black people.
I don't need to tell you yet again that Black people don't agree with her but I will because it's important. Black people do not agree with her. They support American liberalism, they support America, they support capitalism, they support police, they oppose violence, etc. They do not want to start a race war because they're good people and they aren't stupid like Nepenthe. They're a minority, they would lose a race war. Nepenthe knows this so all her fantasies have to involve white people like Klein doing the violence for her. And it offends her that he rejects this and aligns himself instead with normal people including Black people. That's why he's useless, and worse offensive, to her, he refuses to be the means for her ends. She needs Coates to agree by refusing himself to engage in politics that might work so the only choice left to him or anyone else is her solution: mass violence of all against all.
And I must remind people that Charlie Kirk was not a Nazi. This is important because Nepenthe is trying to justify violence through the label. You just label anyone you want a Nazi and now you're allowed to murder them. It's legitimate resistance once you've labeled them. And you're not allowed to question the label, it's been given and now you must act accordingly. She wants mass violence, from others against others, because she's worthless, unimaginative and cruel. She's more a traditional Nazi than Charlie Kirk ever was. Her beef with Hitler is who he prioritized, she doesn't even disagree that the "collective nation of Jewish people" need to answer for "what they've done" to everyone else. She doesn't disagree with the Nazi belief that certain people have a specific place they're supposed to be and need to go "back" where they "belong" that magically and ahistorically exempts people she personally likes from this "dialectical" order. And she absolutely does not disagree with the Nazi belief that liberalism (and capitalism) is a scourge that must be destroyed with active political violence or we'll all suffer an apocalyptic death.

Oh, sorry, that was Hamas. When I read that "they did everything imaginable to her" and the Era post "abused pretty badly" that was basically the first thing I thought of. Oh, they gang raped her and left her for dead. Because that's generally what you hear about whenever you read about war hostages through most of history. But that's not funny, so I changed it to execution.
Even the fact they're doing these flotillas shows how dishonest all the narratives are. You wouldn't do this if you really believed the propaganda about Israel. You especially wouldn't do it over and over every chance you get. They know they aren't getting through, they know Israel is going to scoop them up because they have a duty to, etc. The entire point is to be as hostile to them as possible when this happens so hopefully something will happen, but not anything too bad. They know Israel won't kill them, won't disappear them, won't even really beat them.
Think about if you really believed your rhetoric, there's a genocide, a valid resistance and anything Palestinians do is moral. Why aren't they running guns? "Oh, that would be wrong, we'd get in trouble." "The weapons wouldn't get to Gaza." "People wouldn't donate to that." Yeah, I know.
That's why we have the perfect and safe from criticism Cause™ of our narcissistic time: "I'm raising awareness." With emphasis on the "I'm" part.
That's not to mean there aren't some things in the world that need awareness raised about them. For example, my lack of RTX5090 that the libs on this site aren't doing a lot to address.

The "doesn't call his parents" one seems really unfair though and feels quite abusive and gaslighty against people who suffered from parental abuse (and comes across as suggesting the victim of abuse is the bad one). As someone with depression and other issue because of severe bullying, I couldn't judge someone for having emotional issues; and not going to lie, seeing that being considered reasonable is depressing.
I like the idea of someone having different opinions, likes, hobbies, tastes etc. Same with quirks, issues as long as they weren't abusive.
I just want a woman who is understanding, not a bigot, assertive, brave, caring, accepting and supportive of me transitioning and being autistic and likes cats. Also has an amazing laugh but that's optional. I doubt any one like Manon from SF6 would be interested in me.
Though I'm a shy introvert (which the article has made me feel ugly for) with massive social anxiety that gets who would freeze and silently scream if flirted at (and fully in the articles ick list because I wouldn't feel comfortable dancing and doing karaoke in public around people I didn't know, though it's less embarrassed and more scared and suffering bad memories of mockery, especially if I was with someone not supportive and was considering me lesser and a freak for it), I'm never dating :(
Sorry for the buzz kill
I Kind of feel bad for him. Dude has a lot of issues and deep rooted baggage. Transitioning is not going to help him at all, and deep down he knows it.

Quote:Hilarious_Bearious Melody Shreds I actually just tried to watch Mrs. Doubtfire the other day and ... found it a tough watch. Like, it's not the worst. But there is the already mentioned job interview scene (it goes "I don't want to work with little boys because I used to be one, teehee" basically). The other stuff like dancing to "Dude Looks Like a Lady" is whatever to me. But midway through the movie the two older kids find out it's their dad in drag.
This sequence ... is really fucking rough. Like, trigger warning rough. The brother walks in on "Mrs. Doubtfire" peeing while standing in the bathroom. He then screams and runs to his older sister to shout about some ~pervert dude in drag and how Mrs. Doubtfire definitely has "all the equipment" -- implying that he saw everything, while the audience only saw the stream of pee. Feels really weird typing that, but the brother strongly emphasizes the genitals here. The brother demands they call the cops and is only calmed down when the dad finally comes in the room to reveal that he is just their dad, and not actually a sex pervert. Even then, he is still visably disturbed to see his dad in drag, and doesn't even want to be touched by him on two different occasions in this scene: first with turning down a hug and then very reluctantly bringing his hand into a group circle as the two siblings and the dad promise to keep the whole thing a secret. Contrast this with earlier sequences where I don't exactly remember if the father and son touched affectionately, but I don't recall the son acting all macho or no homo or whatever previously; he was equally as warm to the dad as the other two siblings and had no reason to act differently until this scene.
Man, like, I'm obviously biased, being a trans guy and all, but I just can't imagine being some ten year old (?) boy and running straight to the sex-pervert-panic zone if I accidently ran into some (what appears to be a) woman standing while peeing. I honestly think I would just be confused, maybe curious. This scene just completely rubbed me the wrong way. It felt real ugly to me. Between this, and finding the parts where the dad interacts with the ex wife's love interest to be complete cringe, I gave up on this movie when it got to what I presume to be the final act (the birthday/interview restaurant sequence)? I just had no will to finish this movie, even though I'd been meaning to see it for years cause everyone regards it as a classic, and I hate quitting movies when I've already put time into watching them. And I don't mind sitting through... uh... should we call them awkward queer movies?? Like Tootsie. I enjoy Tootsie (but I wouldn't say it's perfect).
I dunno. I guess I'm sorta bumping a thread here but felt the need to give at least someone who might read this thread a warning about that scene in Doubtfire because it was pretty rough. And if you're gonna show this to kids... man, I ain't saying don't do it. Do whatever you want (and god knows if I had kids I'd probably wanna share some problematic shit that I grew up with as a kid too). But could you, at the very least, explain how the son's reaction is completely fucked up? Thanks.

LTTP: AC Shadows is not only the most beautiful open world game you can play, it's the first AC to "hook" me in since AC2
Guess who the user is who posted this OP.
Quote:I know this game only came out 6 months ago but I got kinda stuck in trying to really understand the controls and combat and user interface, but once I had invested a few hours, it all flows in such a satisfying way with the Anvil engine that I just have to gush about it here.
The painstaking detail in every ounce of this game needs to be praised and recognized. From being able to breathe through a reed in shallow water as you alligator-style stalk your pray, to the incredibly accurate lighting of traditional Japanese wooden doors that leads to really interesting corridor AI gameplay with stealth, to the individual leaves of every Autumn wind cluster blowing separately in its little piles, while the grass and trees sway and flow in their own individual directions. Every aspect of Japanese feudal culture is infused into the towns, any building with an openable wooden door is explorable, and finally, the climbing and combat system just "flow and work" in a way that is so, SO satisfying. To kill one of the daisho, I had to lower the combat difficulty to "Story" to finally beat him (literally tried for 2 days, but he had poison darts and was lvl 12 and really hard), and I love that I had that difficulty option. I love hearing the traditional Japanese voice acting, I love seeing the random rituals, songs and dances out of ancient instruments and costumes, and the fearsom warrior masks the military uses to seek you out. It's all gushing with loving detail that only the giant budgets and swaths of personnel of a publisher like Ubisoft can really invest, but this game is truly a love letter to anyone that loves stealth and action combat gameplay and wants to feel like the cartoon ninja of their dreams in terms of abilities, like cartwheeling off a roof to leap prone into the bushes and assassinate someone instantly. I've been waiting maybe 2 decades for this since Altair in AC1's clunky climbing system: I've wanted traversal, movement, combat, stealth, action, assassination, investigation, eavesdropping, and all of that to just "work" and not be hidden behind mostly other gimmicks like an Eagle. Now the formula finally sunk its teeth into me. The series works, climbs, runs, and kills all like I finally imagined it to work in my dreams for this series. I highly encourage people who got tired or bummed out of the AC formula to revisit the series with Shadows and see what you think. It really surprised me!
Now to be fair, I'm very biased: I am now revealing that I have a monster PC setup, so I don't know how much of this is visible to the player with lower lighting and graphics settings. I recorded some of my temple gameplay in 4K 60 FPS, though with FrameGen, I'm getting 180+ frames with my RTX 5090, AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, and 96 GB of DDR5 XMP 6600 MHz RAM, with some overclocking turned on. So I get to set everything in the game to Ultra, and the latest Nvidia drivers, which I show off here, seemed to eliminate a lot of traversal stutter I was previously experiencing. So I recently LTTP/RTTP this game and have been clearing out assassinations and I'm having so much fun! Wanted to show off some corridor/temple/stealth/assassination gameplay with brief glimpses of the graphics. I have more video I can share later of traversal of the forestry which is just FUCKING UNREAL on max Anvil settings. Hope you enjoy the video.

Klein does not give a shit about people like me. He cares about politicians and capitalists. Violence against them is over the line. Violence against people like me is so normalized and part of the fabric of life that when he sees Kirk- who I must remind people was a fucking Nazi- getting blown away, we don't even enter in his head. There's no space within his head for Black people at all. It's like nothing.
A useless person for a useless cause within a dying nation. Coates shouldn't have even fucking bothered staying on the interview after that admittance. But none of this is true. In either form of liberalism. It doesn't say anything about "Black people" for the same reason it doesn't say anything about "left-handed people" or "people who play Titanfall 2 a decade after it came out" because it's not about groups and their relative standings to each other. It's about equality between individuals. American liberalism has been hijacked by interest group politics because it's politically expedient and powerful and because American progressivism is obsessed with groups but it's not inherent to the ideology. I would suspect that "liberals" of the type she's talking about, like Klein, would reject that they are. They would argue that their interest group obsession is simply the means to the end which is the same as the regular liberalism: equal freedom for all people.
Nepenthe fundamentally rejects this because all that matters to her is how to bring about a situation where one group, herself, dominates all others. "Liberalism" of any form can't offer anything to "Black people" for her because she believes what Black people "need" is the global mass murder and permanent impoverishment of billions. And anything less will continue to be "violence" against "Black people" aka her. Only a system in which Nepenthe is always prioritized can be acceptable to Black people.
I don't need to tell you yet again that Black people don't agree with her but I will because it's important. Black people do not agree with her. They support American liberalism, they support America, they support capitalism, they support police, they oppose violence, etc. They do not want to start a race war because they're good people and they aren't stupid like Nepenthe. They're a minority, they would lose a race war. Nepenthe knows this so all her fantasies have to involve white people like Klein doing the violence for her. And it offends her that he rejects this and aligns himself instead with normal people including Black people. That's why he's useless, and worse offensive, to her, he refuses to be the means for her ends. She needs Coates to agree by refusing himself to engage in politics that might work so the only choice left to him or anyone else is her solution: mass violence of all against all.
And I must remind people that Charlie Kirk was not a Nazi. This is important because Nepenthe is trying to justify violence through the label. You just label anyone you want a Nazi and now you're allowed to murder them. It's legitimate resistance once you've labeled them. And you're not allowed to question the label, it's been given and now you must act accordingly. She wants mass violence, from others against others, because she's worthless, unimaginative and cruel. She's more a traditional Nazi than Charlie Kirk ever was. Her beef with Hitler is who he prioritized, she doesn't even disagree that the "collective nation of Jewish people" need to answer for "what they've done" to everyone else. She doesn't disagree with the Nazi belief that certain people have a specific place they're supposed to be and need to go "back" where they "belong" that magically and ahistorically exempts people she personally likes from this "dialectical" order. And she absolutely does not disagree with the Nazi belief that liberalism (and capitalism) is a scourge that must be destroyed with active political violence or we'll all suffer an apocalyptic death.

Oh, sorry, that was Hamas. When I read that "they did everything imaginable to her" and the Era post "abused pretty badly" that was basically the first thing I thought of. Oh, they gang raped her and left her for dead. Because that's generally what you hear about whenever you read about war hostages through most of history. But that's not funny, so I changed it to execution.
Even the fact they're doing these flotillas shows how dishonest all the narratives are. You wouldn't do this if you really believed the propaganda about Israel. You especially wouldn't do it over and over every chance you get. They know they aren't getting through, they know Israel is going to scoop them up because they have a duty to, etc. The entire point is to be as hostile to them as possible when this happens so hopefully something will happen, but not anything too bad. They know Israel won't kill them, won't disappear them, won't even really beat them.
Think about if you really believed your rhetoric, there's a genocide, a valid resistance and anything Palestinians do is moral. Why aren't they running guns? "Oh, that would be wrong, we'd get in trouble." "The weapons wouldn't get to Gaza." "People wouldn't donate to that." Yeah, I know.
That's why we have the perfect and safe from criticism Cause™ of our narcissistic time: "I'm raising awareness." With emphasis on the "I'm" part.
Hear me out...wouldn't it be fucking hilarious if they did let them though and they landed and nobody recognised them and just took all their shit and left them to fend for themselves?

There is nothing within this philosophy for the Black person beyond a black hole where the revolutionary and humanist energy we need to save ourselves goes to simply vanish.
