1. Amazingly ableist. Max is OFFICIALLY mentally ill and has been institutionalized even before Say Anything put out an album. Also he's been fat for over a decade, so this is fatphobic too. And biphobic, so queerphobic and genocidal.
2. You hadn't already abandoned them for all the problematic language and slurs (like the "r-word" you attack people on Twitter every other week for saying?) in the songs? Yikes, oof. Not a good look, Jeff.
3. To pick a song about Max "revealing" being problematic by reading it straightforward instead of ironic, that's your choice? lol When there's an endless number where Max openly explains how he's a weirdo and sex pest with intrusive thoughts? When the last three hilarious garbage albums are about little else? Especially after Max decided it's super important that he's bisexual and loves cum and turned his family into some weird white trash drama? (And half the songs on all the albums, including the popular ones, are about fears of having "fallen off" and nobody liking him anymore.)
4. Fucking seriously, Jeff:

Spoiler: Or you can't pick this on the original version of the same album as the one you picked? (click to show)


But no, let's go with the one expressing remorse over the "power differential" of a slight age difference for the older man as the grand hidden reveal. Dead 

Jeff is the just the worst.

I'm completely baffled by all of this.  Smile

Jeff's standing up bravely and finally cancelling a fat disabled queer man who's never not been problematic because there's been some new inappropriate text messages he sent to some fan or something. This comes after the guy blew up his family and got a restraining order put on him by his wife and their five kids. lol

edit: Jeff's also copying a bunch of other people on social media and trawling the most popular singles for problematic lyrics that reveal something ALL ALONG when all the lyrics are about how messed up Max Bemis is. People are even bringing up "what can you expect from someone" that horrors of horrors wrote a love song set in the Holocaust. His family is Jewish and the grandparents were in it. There's an entire album titled Hebrews about being Jewish along with a bunch of songs on all the others. The media literacy demanders are out in force with their impeccable literacy.

Earlier I was looking up some info for a different band and half the reddit thread was about how some guy in the band defended JK Rowling and someone else followed transphobes on Twitter so who gives a shit about them and would listen to them in the first place. Also somebody retweeted and then deleted something that could be read a certain way. Endless handwringing about how the loser musicians they've developed parasocial relationships with aren't morally pure. Attacking the band for not understanding their own lyrics and messages. Five hundred upvotes on "I guess us trans people just aren't allowed to have any music." On and on and on.

This is the hell of late stage capitalism. And y'all never ever organize no matter how much I tell you to. I hate it. And it's all your fault.

Every few days one of you guys quote tweets jeff attacking some guy named Roger Dodger or something where Jeff is explaining how he (or more often she) is ontologically evil because of their history of histories and someone is always like well that guy has no legs or is blind or lost his grandma very young and  I'm like who the fuck is that?

I was exploring the internet, seafaring as you do, and discovered this official Destructoid review which is still up

it's not relevant to anything I just thought I should post it

https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-otomedius-excellent/

Quote:Otomedius Excellent is everything I love in life: Gradius, graphics, and cute little girls! Hehe! Not since I laid my hands on [redacted], have my palms been so wet and sticky to get a hold of a babe. I should say “babes,” because Otomedius offers many choices of quality women dressed in attire that is perfectly suitable toward my tastes. As a collector of [redacted] porn, it really makes me feel right at home. I also appreciate that the menu screens are navigated with a cursor mapped to the right-stick and A button; this leaves my other hands free for extra fun! 😉

Don’t pull your pickle out just yet, guys, because this little whore ain’t the woman she used to be (if you know what I mean!) Sure, Gradius‘ unique upgrade system, that lets you choose what ability to unlock by spending collected points, returns. As does the ship customization options that let you alter your loadout before a game. However, Otomedius lacks the tight controls, imaginative levels, and challenging bosses I expect of a Gradius title.

Quote:I admit that I’m new to using a Xbox 360 controller, but damn if these ladies aren’t as slippery and wet as a walrus’ throat. One tap on the left-thumbstick sends your lovely gal a couple positions foward, making for some very choppy action. I felt my chub going flat in my skin-tight cougar pants, as I tried to acquire the pin-point accuracy the game’s bosses demand. This problem only gets worse as you upgrade your speed, making it possible to fly across the map in a milisecond like some sort of disco-club methhead who just fisted a bag of angeldust into his rectum.

:edit: okay maybe its a lil weird but its not sexual, its asexual



I just finished greed island and started the Chimera Ant arc and I forget how wild this section gets



To start I choose to believe the fan theory that Ging used the Greed Island card Pregnancy Stone to give birth to Gon because thats just the funniest outcome considering how he abandoned his kid and set them on a path that would kill most people



Then we get to the chimera ants. Theres the one (captain?) that can dispell nen at the cost of, well, a physical condition that looks exactly like pregnancy. It isnt tho and there isnt much to talk about. The conceptually wild one is where the ant queen is concerned. Its like the zerg... only really funny.



Unless I am mistaken if someone fed the queen like 150 lbs of hotdogs shes just gonna give birth to what... pig/cow/horse/ goat/ chicken/ Turkey hybrids? Considering some of the chimera ants we see yeah... she would do just that. Its hard to think of an animal we didnt see as a chimera ant.



Maybe I was just high af but i was like aaaaaaaaaa what if I doordashed gas station eats and now im pregnant with chicken rollers and basically died laughing at the concept of phagogenesis



Mpreg takes my pick tho

Not willing to dive into the author beyond an AI overview but I guess stuff happened

Quote:Pinsof became a highly discussed figure in the gaming community following a controversial 2013 incident at Destructoid.

The Incident: Pinsof publicly outed the identity of an indie developer who had launched a crowdfunded charity campaign, aiming to expose what he believed was a fraudulent project.

The Fallout: Following his actions, Pinsof was fired from Destructoid due to breaches of editorial and privacy standards.

GamerGate Involvement: When the GamerGate online movement erupted in late 2014, private email leaks from gaming journalists surfaced. The movement heavily referenced Pinsof's firing as an example of systemic corruption, blacklisting, and lack of transparency in game journalism. Pinsof participated in community discussions and an AmA on Reddit to share his perspective, remaining openly critical of both modern game journalism ethics and the tactics used by the GamerGate movement itself.

They're in their typical trenches again. In most cases I think DLSS5 looks either bad or not good enough to justify the performance hit but there are some games like NBA where it's a pretty good fit. They operate on a "can't give an inch" basis though

I totally get your perspective on both.

To be pedantic, I'd say Trang Lanh is sexualized, but at such a low grade by video game standards it's practically negligible. She's definitely a femme fatale archetype, her clothing frames her and her moves/posing frame her in a certain way.

Again, I wouldn't call it egregious at all, it just might've been more interesting to lean away from a stereotype in my opinion, like possibly making her a character of indeterminate gender, or even male. But the way she actually is is far from a deal breaker and I'm definitely not going to excoriate From for something so relatively benign.
 
 
For context: this is the character he's saying is sexualized

These guys genuinely hate characters that are visibly feminine because it triggers their dysphoria or some shit like that

Not willing to dive into the author beyond an AI overview but I guess stuff happened

Quote:Pinsof became a highly discussed figure in the gaming community following a controversial 2013 incident at Destructoid.

The Incident: Pinsof publicly outed the identity of an indie developer who had launched a crowdfunded charity campaign, aiming to expose what he believed was a fraudulent project.

The Fallout: Following his actions, Pinsof was fired from Destructoid due to breaches of editorial and privacy standards.

GamerGate Involvement: When the GamerGate online movement erupted in late 2014, private email leaks from gaming journalists surfaced. The movement heavily referenced Pinsof's firing as an example of systemic corruption, blacklisting, and lack of transparency in game journalism. Pinsof participated in community discussions and an AmA on Reddit to share his perspective, remaining openly critical of both modern game journalism ethics and the tactics used by the GamerGate movement itself.

Oh, isn’t the dude that was fired because he reported that a TransWoman was going to use life saving surgery crowdfunding money was going to be used to gender change?

Yes that seems to be him. His offense was that by revealing where the money really goes he outed the dev as trans
