FACT CHECK: None of those posts are worth reading.

Honestly, Cammy finally being confirmed as a lesbian would make me so happy and it makes me sad that we'll likely never get to see it because Capcom likely doesn't want to upset the angry gamers who'd get mad like what happened when Ono confirmed Poison as trans. Same with Claire and Chris with Resident Evil.

I would love to see costume designs for Cammy drawn and approved by WlW and Cammy have a big old rainbow or lesbian flag badge.

Like I know we got Manon and Marisa being HEAVILY implied to be bi/pan in SF6, but they just don't want to confirm it. 

Sorry if this is the wrong thread.

I feel this equally for Pearlina and knowing it will never be official 😞

Why do they think these companies give a shit about that? It's more fun to tease things and generate fan theories than issue a press release with the sexual orientation of all the characters just so some weirdos can jerk off about it.

It's crazy how quickly he went from "he's dangerous because he's the smart and competent version of Trump" to "LOL look at this clown".

It's why after Hitler there wasnt another Hitler, despite a lot of Nazis aiming for the spot. Or Mussolini, etc. Trump is Trump and none of them can capture his cult of personality. When Trump dies, that power vacuum attempt will be something, because a lot of that base won't vote for any of them.

I'm no historian, so benji can correct me if needed, but I suspect it might have had something to do with losing the war.

Yes, I think the occupying armies had something to do with it.

as I was scrolling through those I was like "oh man I gotta look up that picture of the extremely disappointed probably-southern parents with their furry son who ruined christmas" and then it turned out you had it covered

Guess being a woman and Christian isn't enough. Only worth a handful of posts.

What funny is how a lot of them aren't even traditional lesbians, but MtF "trans lesbians."

Creeps.

Women can be creeps too.  

Like the ones who wear high heels or show skin yet aren't sex workers.

I didn't read all the replies but it's unfortunate that all the people trying to explain the purpose don't explain the materialist one: it helps you plan ahead in case the situation ever arises. I've long been fascinated by how many socialists get upset and seem fundamentally opposed to planning ahead.

The guy where the meme is from didn't reject the idea of a thought experiment, he rejected the idea that you'd have to choose. So he'd believe that he can save (or kill) every person that's lying on the track

[Uncle]

"saying some variant of 'I reject the premise/your thought experiment' and/or saying nothing is in this case considered an agreement to participate in said thought experiment by taking no action."

[benji]

"Silence is violence."
"I reject the premise."

NOT LIKE THAT

But not because it's unethical violence. (That's sociology.)

okay motherfucker, let's say the questions aren't about "exercising ruling class power" by choosing who lives or dies, and let's say it's something else

what if you're starving due to capitalism depriving you of the food you deserve, and you have the choice to steal food to live or not? that's certainly not something the ruling class need to grapple with, it's a choice millions of ordinary people make every day

now what?

if it seems like the answer's too obvious, it could easily be constructed as a trolley problem of its own, like depriving employees of goods to sell under the hellscape of capitalism, thus destroying their lives for the sake of your own

Next time your ethics prof says “imagine you are in a fictional position  requires you to make decisions about who you are going to murder,” maybe ask them whether conceding the premise isn’t already ceding the grounds on which ethics could, or should, take place.

this is literally modern debate team sophistry where you win every competition to thunderous applause by declaring that debate is meaningless in a world where that effort could instead be spent promoting the cause of trans rights

[HaughtyFrank]

"imagine you have three apples and I take one away, how many are left?"

"Wow, first of all, how dare you, I will not be subjugated to this power imbalance of you proposing a thought experiment in which you hold all the power over me. I refuse to entertain any thoughts about ownership or property which only exist in a colonizer mindset and you're enabling genocide by suggesting anyone could take food away"

This is the perfect example of the Resetera community

Majority of the posters joking around while a minority continues to post about how the "real coffee" line is offensive.

Look at the colonizer trying to silence discourse that challenges his yt cishet power and that he wants to protect by imposing his settler philosophy on all of us through epistemic violence. Literally genociding an entire community of discussion.

But, there's a reason a lot of Black folks are seperating the first half of the trailer from the second half, and that reason isn't the romcom vibes, it's the casting. You might not be aware of this being a contentious subject at the moment if you are not a Black person heavily involved in "Black People Business"…and I want to be clear, I'm not trashing or against interracial couples, I myself am from an interracial family.. But, in the context of THIS story…if it's played straight as is presented in the trailor and there is no twist, and the main character's central conflict is whether or not he'll betray a society of magical Black people in order to be with his white non-Black woman…that is stepping on MULTIPLE sore spots in the Black community historically, a few of which are currently being examined.

Shit, even I'm saying…if there's no twist…y'all can keep this.

One day later...

Yeah, reading more about this movie after the backlash its gotten...keep it.

The motivation seems to be making white people comfortable with Black people, both in the story and the with the audience.

Nah

I guess interracial relationships is now persona non-grata for the BCT?

So reading through some of the previous conversation regarding suicide threads and mental health just a bit of an fyi but If my thread was just immediately closed I probably wouldn't still be here. I know that's selfish to say but it's the truth.

All of you should be ashamed

This should probably be a wakeup call to someone.

[Besticus Maximus]

I'm sympathetic to the idea that debate is ultimately meaningless, I have been reading Resetera for some time now

Real problem with debate is how it ignores the option to physically assault the other side. A great philosopher once said, “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”

Although I think that thinker went to jail for assaulting women, so maybe his rationale was flawed.

[MJBarret]

I'm guessing that Lavery person is MtF, 'cuz who else would have the balls to spare to suggest that human imagination is the root of the problem and "chilling" and should only be permitted to occur within the strict lines drawn by the morally righteous.

"If your professor asks would you rather your organs be donated to a dying child or an elderly person, shoot that fucker for fantasising about your corpse and dying kids!"

[Uncle]

ironically, since the idea of telling off your mean ol professor for being a colonizer ruling class verbal slave owner currently rests entirely in the theoretical "tough guy" of the mind, he committed the very sin he was indicting others for
