Yeah I'm actually appalled by mods' decision on this. The last thread got locked and reopened with a stern warning not to derail. You can't look at everything Israel is doing and decide to ban comparisons to Nazism. Worse then for mods to skirt around the issue without addressing community concerns and just enforcing these rules and throwing out bans.

So what gives mods? Are ya'll actually gonna say anything about this?

The bans in this thread are an absolute disgrace. Staff need to look at themselves in the mirror and realise that they are on the wrong side of history with this. We are witnessing a genocide and you guys are wringing your wrists over the feelings of piece of shit scum who put cigarettes out on children and rape prisoners with hot iron rods. Holy fucking shit.

beyond cowardly behaviour displayed in this thread holy fucking shit

Its amazing that whitewashing Israel crimes that have started from its very foundation is official forum policy. Ridiculous to see this continuing in 2026. There are literal holocaust survivors that have made the comparison and this forum would ban them for it.

They've said in the community feedback thread that those comparisons are ok, it's just nazisims that's the no go.

They did not. In fact in the community feedback thread they are seemingly choosing to ignore all conversation about this particular theme while still commenting on other matters. Replying to a single person asking for a ban on a World Cup thread while no comment on this is really glaring.

bullshit bans

Nothing will change because this is a forum moderated mostly by zionists. Whether by identity or through support.

And it always was, I was around during Gaf's days where zionists flooded the Operation Protective Edge thread with the then-zionist opinion. We all have witnessed everything happening since Oct 7. We also witnessed the sheer amount of sources, members, and thoughts that have been banned from discussion or even sometimes a mention depending on if that goofy excuse for a person - thats you, Dubs - just so happens to read it.

You're not going to get the proper communication on why the political thought is moderated on the forum the way it is because you have members on the team that do believe in the State of Israel even if that means they have to kill ten thousand Palestinian peoples they have caged up for defending their right to existence.

The best play at this game is to not play at all.

you can ban me all you want but you can't ban truth, bitch

Fuck Israeli Nazis. See you in 3 weeks.

Insane that people are still being banned for making a 100% apt comparison agreed upon by actual Holocaust scholars because certain members of the moderation team are too egotistical to admit they're just straight up wrong.

This forums stance would have us banning actual holocaust survivors supposedly in the name of antisemitism. It's a fucking disgrace and anyone involved in these bans should be ashamed of themselves.

I kept deleting this, thinking it's not going to make a difference but fuck it: How much clearer does it need to be at this point? In terms of both the moderation of this place and the more significant still-living/plain old colonialism (with a twist!) - which should have been more than clear before October 7th.

The devastation of Palestinian life, lives and land in Gaza should not mean this little to people here, but it does thanks to an awful culture propagated by people who believe themselves "progressive", who cannot handle the mildest criticism - regardless of politeness - and who would rather bury anything that makes them feel bad, through such gross moderation, than confront themselves. Fuck "israel", fuck B-Dubs and thank fuck that a free Palestine doesn't (and has never have needed to) rely on a forum like this.

lol this place has become such a fucking joke

Where are you B-Dubya?

Why continue to post here then?

Looks like Potato, Rendle, etc. have missed this years:

Demands
Accessible Gender Affirming care for ALL: All data points to hormone replacement therapy seeing a considerably positive outcome in the wellbeing of the transsexual individuals who take it. Despite this the process to acquire HRT is largely unaffordable and time consuming to many of those who need it. We demand the alleviation of medical gatekeeping of our medicine and for HRT to be subsidised.

Cops & Zionists OUT of Pride: Cops and Zionists fundamentally have conflicting interests with the transfeminist movement. No one is free until we are all free. This sentiment extends to the queers of Palestine. We demand cops and Zionists stay our of parades and rallies. These is pride in pinkwashing and genocide.

No Pride in Detention: Transgender women are not offered dignity in persecution. A prison sentence is a sentence to sexual violence for trans women in men's prisons both from inmates and enforcers. We demand trans women in prison are offered distance from sexual violence in prison and can be placed in a cell that is congruent with ones identity.

LOL, Victoria. Fucking retard state that one. Trashy and I live in real Australia.

EDIT: I want to see the circumstances data compared to the circumstances for all population murders. I guess they would line up nearly 1:1.

It's a bummer that Nintendo, purveyors of the most creative and enduring works of art for all ages, and are presumably heavily involved in every decision, are happy to put out these duds. Like what's going on here? My only conclusion is they have no respect for cinema as an art form and these exist solely as brand extensions.

This is the same Nintendo where the Mario Galaxy director needed to hide any semblance of narrative in the game to placate his boss.

I mean, they have explicitly said they are simply making movies as brand extensions. 

Did this complete retard think they were making animated films in partnership with the biggest slophouse in animation which has made untold numbers of Minions films (a character they wholesale stole from Ubisoft) as some sort of art?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/its-transgender-visibility-day-and-i-guess-its-time-to-come-out.1478257/

I'm transgender. The signs as an only child growing up wasn't obvious but one thing that stood out was the fear growing up getting body hair and thought it was disgusting but lucky for me I have no back hair and very little chest hair in my mid 30s. At a very young age I remember a nightmare I had where I was an adult man and I cried. Most of my cousins around my age are females and they had game consoles and one of them has a brother but I mostly hang out with my female cousin instead. One of them had a hobby playing soccer and learn that even women can play sports and started liking soccer instead of forcing myself to like a sport because some guy told me I had to. Still I don't like sports I just like women to be inspirational

While I growing up I went from playing with toys to playing video games and Pokemon Crystal was the first game that asked me the question "Are you a Boy or a Girl?". I picked girl because I always played as a male. But after that I went back playing as a male in Gen 3 until Pokemon S/M and in Legends Z-A I went back to play as a male. I didn't care about how the windows looked because I felt happy playing and purchasing as much clothes as possible. I learned the reason why I don't like shopping is because I extremely picky in fashion.

In MMOs I only ever played Runescape and when I learned about the Makeover Mage, yeah I changed and kept my gender as female and that's when I started to question my gender. In high school I thought to myself "what if I was a girl?" years later "would I be treated differently if I was a women?" and 2 years ago I learned what estrogen is and thinking if it was possible to get them and move to a different state and start a new life but I was doubting myself and thought "Is this what I really want?"

Earlier this month I was going through a lot being depressed, disconnecting myself from the world and I would get angry having to interact with the world around me. then I was recommended a video about how cisgender don't question their gender and mentioned the gender dysphoria bible and when I read it, I felt like I got hit by a truck.I was going through anxieties, I lost my appetite and my libido decreased. But through all of that, I feel much happier and all the things that I was going through before reading the gender dysphoria bible is gone.

I've realized I'm still me from the start of March and the one thing I can't stand is looking at myself in the mirror and I have anxieties from time to time. But I have started to improve myself by focusing on loosing weight, growing out my hair and remove all my facial and body hair and damn having smooth legs feels euphoric and the rare instances where I can look at myself.

Soon I'm going to speak to a therapist and see what's the best options for me rather than taking antidepressant. If I can be prescribed with estrogen I would take small dosage and have an androgynous appearance because I live in Florida.

If you ever questioned your sexual identity and are depressed, I would recommend reading the gender dysphoria bible https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en which is a anecdotes of transgender people going through multiple types of dysphoria. You may not aligned with all of it but it can help you identify in the spectrum and is also a good resource for cisgendered to learn what we go through

If you going through any of these experience or been 
through it, feel free to post and making this thread helped me calm down.

How long until the "I want to die" thread gets made? I give it less than 12 months.

are y'all that creatively bankrupt to be unable to call pro-Isnotreal Jews anything else but nazi?

Y'all already got a name for what they're doing, Zionism. Make Zionist into something that the public visibly hates instead of relying on nazi this, nazi that.

Nintendies are mad:

A wise man once said something along the lines of Film reviewers are depressives who like to sit alone in a dark room and watch slow movies.

all this sonic movie talk in Mario thread. I didn't like the sonic movie despite its reviews because animated animals talking in a real world is the most unappealing thing to me. yall need to get over your obsession with bringing up sonic movies in mario movie topics

The movie industry tore MCU movies when it came to reviews, all while those movies kept satisfying their fanbase and expanding the audience while making the parent company bank. Nintendo movies will be no different.

Meanwhile this will easily do over a billion dollars worldwide and be one of the few movies to do so this year, these same critics will wonder why the movie industry is dying.

One thing the Nintendies are right is that the movie is going to make money, so why being mad about its low quality?

The French just have a natural inclination towards animated, short, identical-looking creatures who babble gibberish and get into mischief.

the conflating of things like this or JD Vance doing drag as a joke for some school event with being trans makes me uncomfortable. Both from conservatives or the well meaning left, who can use it to get some schadenfreude or point to some perceived hypocrisy gotcha. I can't exactly explain it but it feels bad.

The Latte liberals always set the rules and they always, always kowtow capital not morals.

Remember when one of the best posters on the issue of Palestine was banned for daring to criticize the New York Times?

Remember all the posters who were banned defending Palestinian rights and criticizing Biden and Harris' silence on the genocide?

And many others. The pattern is clear with the mods.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/israel-passes-law-making-death-penalty-default-sentence-for-palestinians-convicted-of-lethal-attacks-against-israelis.1477744/page-4#post-153278356

As others have said, it's even more ridiculous since scholars and even israelis themselves have made the nazi comparison.

And on another note I think people people should know that to support israel's "right to exist" is essentially condoning the genocide of Palestinians, and not just currently. It started with genocide of Palestinians and its continued existence depends on the genocide of Palestinians.

I kind of get what she means but at the same time imagine Noem's husband posting on Resetera or Reddit that he likes to wear dresses and big fake plastic tits. They would instantly affirm him as trans.

because as a member its a privilege they hold ? As well as a right to demand better of mods, a right to demand reason, and a right to demand responsibility, and a right to demand accountability. now if mods don't have any real reliable reason, aren't really accountable, can't be held responsible, and don't think they can or need to do better, what is the fucking point, but since you brought it up i didn't know the mods and admins were what make up this site, or the reason why people post here. the rest of us are expected to be reasonable, responsible and accountable though.



what kind of mealy mouthed bullshit is 'well if you don't agree with the mods why are you here" why the fuck are YOU here,? to specifically jump in when it's time to defend a decision that just so happens to squelch criticism of Israel? you should have some integrity and be ashamed of asking that dumb shit you just posted.



mods: You don't have to make everyone happy, what you have to do is be fair. but unfortunately a some of you are not impartial, you're just maintaining the balance how you see fit. Clearly everyone isn't happy, moderation is not equal, and you end up literally scale tipping for supporters of genocide.



 you see the kind of rot you're allowing to fester here just because you won't make a stand. instead of standing up, youre thought policing, and not even to prevent racism and anti-semitism, just to protect this arbitrary line of reason you've set up. Comparing Israel and the IDF with Nazis is not racist, it isn't anti-semetic. It's appropriate and people are afraid to take a stance and say that what Israel has done to the Palestinians is indefensible and as unacceptable as what the Nazis did to the Jews. But our leaders not only want to discourage us from being too critical of Israel or of wanting to hold them responsible. They want us to support them, not just with our opinions but with our own resources and labor. IF this was all just something completely disconnected from everything else maybe the moderation of trying to bridge gaps would make sense, but this is literally seeping into other things and threatening to grow.



People are literally afraid to take a stance and say Israel is indefensible, period. They still want to hold out the self-defense flag. They still want to say that Israel has at least initially tried to act in defense of their right to exist, and end the story there, over top a leveled city and countless dead. They don't want to just say Israel was wrong, like the Nazis were wrong. They're afraid to connect Israel to the only events in living memory that could even stand to compare. Literal torture and butchering, rape, mass-murder, dehumanization, the complete subjugation of a people on racial and religious grounds, in great numbers, over decades, and how many have died? With the express intent to remove or eliminate a people from the land. How many would they admit because no one else has been able to keep up, and transparency is the last thing on the minds of the IDF or the Israeli government.



Nazis have a clear and unquestionable place in history and in moral thought. When you see Nazis, you stop them, you must. What they do is plain evil, there's no excuse, no excuse to even tolerate them, you know what they do, and if you simply turn a bline eye, you're evil too. You can't do that to Israel, you're not allowed to step outside of their set context and objectively dissect what they do and who they do it do and why. They say the comparison would be too dangerous and would lead to racist hatred of the Jews(and if you want to do that you might really be a racist? are you suuurre you're not an antisemite, that you don't just hate I\P but instead you really hate the Jews?), not the appropriate hate of Israel. You're not allowed to focus on the hurt and the damage done, at one point you were not allowed to amplify the pain of the Palestinians or identify with or empathize with them because THEY were the evil dirty brown terrorists. They don't tell you they live in those conditions because they're forced and trapped, it was just used to be part of the moral propoganda.



For fucks sake I could literally go one for pages, but at some point you have to be tired of helping to hold this shit up. Unless that's what you're about and that's your intent. It's an arbitrary Era rule that the mods here came up with. It doesn't wash out in the real world, but in the bubble of this website, those "historical considerations" are given far more importance than what is being done to the Palestinian people(for fucks sake why is the IDF and Israeli government protected, the military body and their fucking government? ) who are not a relic of history but living members, some even on this site. You'd think they would rate and that it wouldn't have to be done in a complete vacuum free of anything else. That they could equally matter.



unfinished, not done, but I'm sick of it. I'm not leaving the site [USER=3608]Min[/USER], this place doesn't get to become a love fest for genociders.



and for the record, those historical considerations if you were serious about them, would apply to people, those victims deserve respect, they deserve to be remembered. And they deserve not to be thrown in the goddamn same category as the fucking evil IDF and the Israeli government that commands them. have 

some fucking shame.

my mind immediately went to rocket racoon's crass and snarky aggression, which aren't traits i associate with fox. hoping for the best though, a fox is by far the character i'm looking forward to most now that we know about rosalina's role

but i'm really just gonna be there for the easter eggs and visuals. i found the plot, characterization, and music in the first film to be largely awful, but the references flew so fast and free that i was joyfully engaged during every frame of animation for the entire runtime. it's honestly a type of movie experience i'd never had before and imagine i'll never have in general outside of these official nintendo films, so i'm just trying to focus on appreciating how novel and fun that aspect of it is instead of dwelling on missed potential
