Yeah, the guy that bit someone's nose off in front of a crowd is a creep— who knew.

It's almost as if Penguin's the villain and is meant to be in the wrong….

Oh no the villain is being creepy how awful

[benji]

Villain? Oswald Cobblepot is a marginalized person turned political revolutionary opposed by a white billionaire who smears him in the media and then murders him for daring to seize the means of production of Gotham with his fellow marginalized revolutionaries. Not surprised a capitalist hellhole forum like Era takes the side of the billionaire who lives in a castle and for some reason was dressed up like Batman. Sounds about white.

If you gotta ask, dont worry about it.
Mind ya business lol.

I don’t mind if people from the U.S. consider Piccolo black, is just frustrating when you try too push outside that context and get mad when the reality of other parts of the world don’t match.

          cultural appropriation?

Piccoro Damaioh is not African American and was never intended to be African American.
Piccoro/Kami Sama were closer to arab/muslim. Perhaps depicting a djinn. 
The duality of religion even good/evil. Radical/moderate. 

In the early days there was staff officer Black of the Red Ribbon army and after that Mr. Popo
Staff officer Black was certainly African American coded. 
Mr. Popo more of a friendly type of character that would carry your bags into the hotel for you but also had Indian vibes so who knows and Toriyama is dead no way to ask him.

Toriyama was always ahead of his time. Depicted the Nazi-like Red Ribbon Army general Blue as a flamboyant homosexual.

Post in thread '[December 14, 2025] Twelve killed in a shooting at Bondi Beach, Australia' https://www.resetera.com/threads/december-14-2025-twelve-killed-in-a-shooting-at-bondi-beach-australia.1382806/#post-148900135

Dude deserves all the medals. It's reckless but glad he succeeded.

I wonder what the motives are. I wouldn't be surprised if the shooters are neo Nazis. They are very active recently especially in NSW

Nope. The shooters were the usual suspects.

...and a chorus of the usual fucking retards

What are the legitimate reasons people need access to firearms

Oh that's right there aren't any

Fucking idiots with no idea all over the thread...like this one...

Absolutely terrible and shocking.

I do want to see a solid tightening of our gun laws; they're not as strict as people think. I also want to see the extreme right wing pushed back at a lot more than we have been doing as a country.

Cool, so we tighten them up even further so the people who are obeying the laws are further restricted and the criminals and terrorists can just continue to not follow the laws?

Fucking idiots.

[HaughtyFrank]

There's also this guy, instantly jumping to worrying about islamophobia

Some of our most awful politicians are going to use this to advance their awful agendas.

There's already people aggressively pushing a "Muslim shooters" angle, based on the fact it is a Chanukah event.

As I implied above, there are right wing fuckwits just looking for a pretext like this.

Israeli government has already made a statement criticising the Australian government re: anti-semitism.

Gentlemen start your engines.

Well said, It's happening in almost every thread about an antisemitic incident or attack, and it's really about time it was called out.

So it's fine in other active shooter threads when people are discussing the potential political/social/policy ramifications, but in this particular one it makes anyone doing so anti-Semitic by default?

Emotions are high, but I'd politely ask you to stick that implication up … (you can finish the rest).

At least he's getting some pushback but it sure is funny that if the terrorists are Neonazis there would be absolutely zero issue to talk about the problems and consequences that need to happen.

That Grug cunt is one of the usual lefty suspects. This is Islamic terrorism targeted at Jews celebrating Hanukkah. Sit this one out fuckheads.

[Potato]

Well this is going to start a new race/religion war in Australia.

No it won't fuckwit.

At least in the land of mass shootings, it doesn't matter what the actual facts are, the right will point at a boogeyman immediately even as the first reports are rolling in.

Since this is being reported to have happened at/near a Jewish religious celebration and at least one of the attackers appears to have darker skin, we know immediately what is going to happen, even if its not true.

Except it is true you fucking vile cunt.

We better get used to this.

The genocide in Gaza has produced another wave of extremism that will be hard to put back in the bottle.

Another vile cunt.

Fuck real anti-semites and fuck Israel's government. If people are looking for an explanation for why there's been a recent rise in anti-Semitic extremism then first point of call is to look at Isreal's genocide in Gaza.

Extremism breeds extremism.

Victim blaming cunt here

Well, apart from the fact that at the time I posted, it appeared the event wasn't still occurring…

When is the specific time when I can appropriately worry about what comes next? Because let me tell you, the bad actors I am worried about are not waiting.

Do I wait until the first mosque is aflame?

Absolute vile cunt.

It's fucked up to hear people already making statements and asking questions on the news that is basically designed to spread hate in response to a terrorist attack brought on by hateful anti semitism.

It feels like we will be locked in this cycle forever, fuck these terrorists and fuck the parasites who seek to push their agenda of hate in response, linking this back to Australias stance on Palestine is absurd.

what a heartbreaking night for Jewish Australians, I cannot imagine how unsafe they feel right now.

Nah, what's fucked up is watching media and politicians dancing around the subject of Islamic terrorism yet again. Even the ABC News presenters were clearly frustrated at not being able to speak the clear and obvious thing that was running on video loops in their coverage.

Islamic terrorism. Say its fucking name.

Honestly that was the first thing I was thinking about. I wonder if that's something that would happen. Watching the footage I was worried the shooter would pull a sidearm or something but fortunately he just scattered off.

I love it when they go all military lingo. Clearly they just parrot shit they heard in video games, but they just love sounding like they are an authority about shit.

[Potato]

Look at this hero, pushing back against the fucking ghouls

Extremely bizarre, to say the least (though really "insane" might be more fitting), gut reactions and responses to a mass shooting that appears to have been targeting a Jewish event. Nothing about the victims, nothing about antisemitism and bigotry, just concern over how it may be politicized. No empathy shown for the actual victims whatsoever or concern over them seemingly being targeted for being Jewish. Well, that's disheartening.

Expect him to be banned soon for something unrelated.

When writing on bullets is a "hard sign" that the shooter is a Nazi, but when a darker skinned man with beard shoots up a Jewish celebration it could mean apparently anything.

Sorry Fiction but you've lost any credibility

Extremism breeds extremism.

Is like something horrible happened two years ago and people have refused to acknowledge it as a terror attack. Extremism breeds extremism, but Muslims never start it… right?

In reading about this shooting, there was another story about five men arrested for plotting a terror attack on a German Christmas market. 

Putting on my retarded dipshit thinking hat to explain how these men from Morocco, Egypt, and Syria turned to extremism because of, I don’t know, overpriced pretzels?

[Snoopy]

The second point of call would be to look at forums whose admin post things like from the river to the sea. While their members routinely use the conflict as an excuse to attack Jewish people and post anti semitism.

[kaleidoscopium]

In Italy where i grew up nobody would think of Piccolo as a black character. The simple idea would seem absurd to everyone. If anything his clothing can seem middle-eastern, but nothing about him, like his way of speaking, his demeanor, his dub actor, etc has any links whatsoever to black culture

Probably because there's not much Black culture in Italy. In the US, where this discussion happens regularly, there is. As others pointed out on page 1, this is a Black culture thing and not something made explicitly clear by the shows or the creators of the characters

You think this shooting was carried out by someone on the far right? I really don't think so.

I don't know who did this. What I do know is the far right has been increasingly prevalent in raising the violence level in our culture and agitating for much looser gun laws, both of which contribute to the likelihood of this type of incident. Thus, this reinforces to me that they need to be countered more effectively, whether there was any direct involvement or not.

Yeah I never said she was a Trumper or MAGA or even conservative to my recollection. Though it would be funny to me after this that we found out she was. But here she just seems to be chastising the Trump administration and deployment of ICE. Unless you have info about her denouncing Trump and his actions towards women? In which case, my bad about that and I was wrong.

Otherwise though, people do get the context here right?

She said about Newsom: ""...he has overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either,"
While the current American president, well I don't think I need to go over anything he has said and done to women in the many years we know him, there was nothing said about him and his acts/attitudes toward women. And this is nothing to say of the crew he runs in and courts in regard to this either.

This is like chastising the college frat boy for whistling at women and slapping their butts as they walk past. But then in the background we have an elderly black dad in colourfully knitted sweaters personally serving drinks to the college girls and then personally escorting them upstairs when they seem sleepy.

By all means, go in on the college dude, he deserves it, especially when he slapped your ass, but you not calling out Mr puddin pops in the background is gonna get a side eye from me.

But as I keep saying, you guys do you in how you want to interpret this. I'll wait for more information, especially from a more trusted source who will investigate deeper and has receipts. Just because I agree with someone on something, doesn't mean I won't question their motives as to why they are doing it.

[Boredfrom]

if and when the racist pricks who call Brown and Muslim people as the reason for this attack on the Jewish community, show the video of Ahmad single-handedly taking down a fucking terrorist.

that is heroism, that is humanity at its best

Almost like people are not a monolith or everyone agrees 100 with what their religion or government preaches.  

it's time for everyone to acknowledge that antisemitism is on the rise.

and just to be clear, fuck the Israeli government, fuck the IDF and fuck everyone who supports them and their ongoing genocidal campaign.

Oh, wait.

[Boredfrom]

All this far right whatever stuff is nonsense. Jews know that antisemitism is one of the remaining bipartisan things out there.

Both intentionally and unintentionally incite conflict and violence through irresponsible vitriol and weaponization. They use it or hide behind it to advance their own agendas or egos, and neither truly cares about Jewish people. So all the he or she will say this and that because of x or y misses the point.

But we already know, hunker down. RIP.

You could replace this paragraph “far right” with the far left and still would be true.

Muslims have been the socially acceptable scapegoat for decades, especially in this era. There are legitimate concerns to the weaponization of these issues. Everytime a brown person ends up being a mass shooter there is a collective punishment that is imposed by the ruling class. I don't mean to derail but I found your comment vague and insuinating.

I wouldn't be surprised if a large percentage of Era feels that "the collective nation of Jewish people" have it coming because of the actions of Israel.

What collective punishment has there been for muslims, you fuck? I guarantee you Muslims in Australia will just continue living their lives while every Hanukah festival will now be swarming with security until the end of time.
