Already concluding that if The Marvels fails it's the evil bigots fault

I don't think The Marvels performance can be seen as a barometer of anything considering we know the depth of bigotry that exists within the fandom and a film that fronts Brie Larson, a black woman, and a Pakistani girl is likely to turn off those bigots.

I hope it does well and is a good film, but I don't expect it to be smashing records.

Though IIRC it is getting a China release so who knows?

Very cool and progressive naming Larson, and then reducing the other two to just their race

Iman Vellani is also Canadian not Pakistani, unless he thinks she's not a real Canadian.

now watch in real time as this dumb shit is reported on by what are considered more reputable publications, sans the obvious criticism

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/10/4chan-pushing-bing-dall-e-as-quick-methods-to-spread-racist-images/

fuck, now I want elon to win since at least on his platform you can easily dunk on these morons

Ars Technica is considered reputable? Outside video games? Because the site branching out to have actual news seem to have made it worse and it sounds like RE is the only place that gives a shit.

Yeah, I didn't even know theyr reported videogames. 

It's always been a tech site to me.

In terms of super heroes my favorite is the black one and frankly the Pakistani


Also I opened X this morning and saw this

[FEUER FREI.]

era:

piracy is immoral and illegal, don’t even mention the word, otherwise ban and people like zerovagine on your ass

also era:

shoplifting is good, fuck capitalism

l o l

look i don’t give a shit if someone steals food from a grocery store, but people generally aren’t shoplifting food in the world, they’re stealing luxury products because they’re braindead when it comes to extremely basic money management and prioritising what one needs

[Uncle]

well, if I could steal one thing from a store (which is likely, it's harder to steal a cart full of groceries), I'd go for the most expensive thing in the hopes of pawning it for a lot, and then you buy bread with that money

[Snoopy]

give a man a loaf and he’ll eat for a day. 

teach a man to post suicide threads and he’ll eat until the cops find his cp

[AldusMoneyPenny]

I love that the idea here is apparently that "corporations", who are capitalist pigs that require infinite growth because that's obviously a central tenet of capitalism, also love closing stores and losing money just to spite workers, I guess.

The article's data is limited though. Comparing the number of reported incidents doesn't include, which they acknowledge, the number of incidents that don't get reported. They also, as far as I can tell in that article, don't make any distinction on the difference in the amount of theft per incident. Is someone stealing a candy bar and someone stealing a watch considered each one incident? Well one incident has a higher impact than the other, so purely the number of incidents alone isn't good enough without factoring in how much was stolen. Also pointing out the shrink rate nationwide doesn't in any way address the shrink rate at specific locations as I'm sure certain areas has a higher theft compared to others. There's just not enough data presented in that article to definitively say that it's all BS.

Right, but what data we do have doesn’t line up with their story, and what reason do we have to give them the benefit of the doubt?

In a world where corporations routinely mislead and deflect whenever quarterly earnings aren’t what they projected, I think it’s much safer to assume that Target isn’t being entirely truthful.

[BIONIC]

Was there something wrong with the CD Projekt thread after all?

I assumed that talking about the company and their games was fine, just not threads specifically promoting cyberpunk

People couldn't resist turning it into a discussion about Cyberpunk, judging by a large number of the replies.

If only they were talking about new game plussing it, it would’ve been okay

[Boredfrom]

Yeah, is like people want to talk about the new expansion of a game that pulled a FFXIV/NMS with an Netflix anime and a ton of updates. An expansion with two fan favorite Hollywood stars, one that people shilled for James Bond until he got sick of it.

[HaughtyFrank]

The fucking smugness in Kyuujis reply.

Also cast a trans twitch streamer for a side character, but hey, most transphobic game on the planet

[BIONIC]

You know the sack of shit is playing the expansion, but probably has the self-awareness now to not openly post about it

[Nintex]

What I find most entertaining about the looting is that the looters all run around grabbing shit as quickly as they can, tripping over stuff, getting their legs stuck in store displays and whatnot and the store employees just stand around and don't do anything to stop them. This usually leaves the looters sort of confused as the apathy sort of scares them. Another recent development is that Apple just bricks the shit they steal remotely.

Also Louis Vuitton bags must taste really good if that is what Shaniqa is feeding her babies.

I don't think I saw anything like this but I wanted somebody to ask how he had conversations with Oda around the socially outdated aspects of One Piece. The rampant sexualization, Sanji's character, how they'll handle Mr. 2 Bon Kurei and I know it's very far off but the Kamabakka Kingdom so that they aren't treated as a punchline, among many other things.

"Did you harassed Oda and guilt trip him about shit only twitter weirdos care about?"

if only there was some way to find out how they handle sanji in the netflix live action series

unfortunately i am mentally challenged

[benji]

So first he suggests that the prices are to blame, then immediately concedes that it'll probably still happen but argues that you should just look away and then finally claims that it doesn't actually happen

That's how you know just how debunked, not happening and also actually a good thing this is.

Okay, but then why are they doing this? You're constructing a massive elaborate incoherent conspiracy theory because you're mad about Occam's razor since you've decided criminals are the utmost paragon of virtue.

[benji]

If they actually were stealing bread*, the stores wouldn't care as much. Margins are too low. Fucking capitalism.

*because the welfare states in progressive areas are so stingy and bigoted

[Boredfrom]

I can’t imagine why people need to steal Lebron or Miles Morales head because tik too (even here they are doing this) but this is the world we live. “Fuck Capitalism”™

[Propagandhim]

I really would like to see some statistics around this supposed surge in retail theft, especially charted against amount of employees, and how much of it is an "inside job". But even knowing that, if it's true there is a massive spike the narrative has stuck and most people aren't going to examine the societal factors driving it or do anything to address it.

This is why we need actual data, there are a bunch of these incidents people will bring up like they saw or they heard or what have you but I don't think that is the most solid foundation to make a judgment on. What if there are just more stores in SF and the shoplifting rate is actually similar to other areas but seems like more due to the amount of stores? What if the media is just reporting on theft more than in other areas?

What are the societal factors that keep you from putting a gun to your head.  I want to deal with those first.

They're just trying to have some semblance of happiness in the constant hellworld the chuds have forced on us. The yts have all got insurance anyway which just proves that the cruelty is the point.

                    Just asking questions, dismissing concerns, speaking over victims and denying lived experiences?

If these chaotic kids were looting female hormones, then it'd be a problem.

[Boredfrom]

Sorry!

It looks like they make... anime games? Mostly for Playstations?

Not really my bag.



Oh, those guys.

Yeah, have fun if you like that sort of thing.

The dude that used a hypersexualized furry avatar for years (suddenly and recently changed) dares to judge others for their tastes.

[benji]

I think it's pretty obvious what the stores are doing here. They're creating a false myth about crime and pulling out, so the yts will get upset and demand more cops, then the cops come in and genocide the non-whites, once that's over then the yts and stores come back in and steal the property on the cheap. Then they can exploit the non-whites for greater profits, especially since the non-whites won't be around to object to any cultural appropriation the stores are selling.

Have you tried learning a little about how reality works before criticizing those who see the plan here?

[Averon]

They both want to say:

"Fuck capitalism! Steal as much as you're able to. The corporations fucked us, so it's fair to steal from them!"

And

" These thefts are overblown. These corporations are just using that as an excuse to shutdown businesses and fuck over minorities."


They can't admit to the former without proving the corporations' points that shoplifting theft is rampant. So they need to make wild conspiracies like the later to not implicitly admit that shoplifting is rampant and a problem and that corporations closing stores isn't wrong.

[benji]

You're ignoring the obvious, that non-monopoly corporations are both stupid and evil and therefore will do things just to be stupid and evil. Do we even have proof the corporations aren't stealing from themselves to juke the stats? The. Cruelty. Is. The. Point.

[Boredfrom]

I mean, Corporations can be stupid and short sighted, but dunno if you could consider them evil because there is always a monetary reason for stuff like this rather than fuck the poor for the sake of it. Big chain stores would prefer having more stores than less and RE idea that everyone is lying about shoplifting is genuinely conspiracy like thinking.
