Can someone tell me where the marginalised voices were represented on The Matrix 1? Seems to me it was made by two cis white men...

They are and always have been women, chud. Stop denying reality just because you're menopausal.

[NekoFever]

And B-dubs enters the discussion! ...to address this gross misrepresentation of user numbers.

I'm just going to say this: your numbers are not even close to real. The system is a little more complicated than you realize.

So with Cerium, the founder AFAIK, being 3, and you being 143, along with my understanding that you all were at ground zero... Then looking at my own number appended to the end along with a member who signed up 2 months later with them having a number greater than mine, would not that number mean I am the X user to have joined the site? I'll take the L here, I am not the GM, but unless something is being done to make that number inaccurate, what else does that number mean? JoeBudden just joined at 167190, and I remembered that being a different member and a number that was 167198.

Look, all I know is I can see a list of all members ever and it sure as shit ain't nowhere near close to that number. Trust me, we have not banned no hundred thousand people. That's a pretty easy thing to keep track of and even counting deletions and random troll accounts, it's nowhere near that number.

Dubs and I joined the site on the same day and our profile numbers are 6000 apart. I don't think you should be using user numbers as a sign of anything.

Hell, you were a mod before I was iirc. Probably got in before me as well.

If it truly is as you say it is, I give up. I give you my word.

That's the ID number assigned by the system dude, not the order you joined...

EDIT: I used to think it was the join order, because it kinda made sense to me, but that was before I got to see all the back-end stuff. Forums look simple, but there's a shocking number of moving parts beneath the surface that keep this place going.

This gross misrepresentation of user numbers is so critical it requires a second member of staff weighing in:

Even if it is the join order it is not really a good representation of the figures.

The "banned" accounts are grossly inflated because of the number of accounts that are "created" but do not make it to a point that is allowed to make posts. Numbers do not appear to be recycled. Accounts are created relatively easily but might not be activated due to spam/alt checks within the system. At times the system would flag something suspicious that needs manual review, while this account is in limbo users often make an alt thinking that might be faster. Similarly alts are sometimes made to try and appeal a ban. Sometimes we allow users to change accounts for security reasons. We have a few assholes dedicated to creating accounts to troll us in the ticket systems.

Also, the method you're using assumes new members make the post in the new member thread. It is just a suggestion, not enforced or anything.

Edit. Tell me you didn't just go trying to create an alt for an experiment on this... smh...

Sushi for Kalos is now banned; I can't see a banner on any of his posts, but I assume it's the alt thing Snormy's referencing. Staff has once again effectively shut down a site policy discussion with some irrelevant bullshit.

They’re right that the ID is not an accurate count of user numbers as any random spammer that completes the first signup form but ultimately gets rejected will increment it, but to claim that it doesn’t represent the order someone joined is complete bullshit. I’m not even sure why you’d need to lie about that either.

Yes, it’s a complete coincidence that the founder of the site has UID 3, someone in on the ground floor is in the low hundreds, and new users have very high, suspiciously close numbers.

The Stellar Blade situation gives me so many thoughts. 

It frustrates me. I remember, back in the PS3-360 era, when the pushback against super sexualized female characters started, it was all about wanting variety. I still think variety in character designs should be the goal, but it is un-fucking-deniable that western games are typically pushing frumpy, middle-of-the-road characters for the sake of realism. The main reason Stellar Blade gained traction is because the main character is really hot. Things have gone so far to the other end that having a hot character design is newsworthy.

I remember when Bayonetta was seen as the demon for focusing so much on her ass, and now she’s held up as an example of good character design. What? And I wasn’t around for Nier Automata’s press tour, but I guarantee the Resetera types would hate it. And I mean, how could they not? Honest to god, 2B’s ass is legitimately distracting. Like, her whole look is completely fetishized, and they lack the media literacy to find a deeper reason for it. And honestly, even if you do justify it, it’s still distracting. Yet she’s now also an officially recognized good design for the doublethink prudes? I smell bullshit on this.

So here’s my two cents on this. The autistic men in dresses can’t push back too hard against Bayonetta and 2B because, as sexualized as they are, the games came out, and women loved them. Because for a lot of us, being distractingly-hot, while also a total badass, is a plus, not a con. So the people who have made their whole online persona an attempt to co-opt the female experience cannot push back against them without having the façade slip a bit. “We are not a monolith”, claim the ghouls who are very much a monolith. “Bayonetta’s ass is okay because she owns her sexuality”, claim the freaks who hate any kind of sexuality and repeatedly claim fictional characters have no agency. “2B’s ass is okay because…” i actually don’t know how they defend this one. 

I suspect these people are going so hard against Stellar Blade simply in a foolish attempt to control the narrative, much in the same way they tried and failed with Hogwarts. But if they can get Stellar Blade to be officially recognized as a chud game before it comes out and is largely popular among female gamers, then they win. Give them time, and those stupid sluts will like it, and they will have to pretend to also like it for the next t’n’a character action protagonist.

Some day, these people will be forced to confront how the pushback against their retarded, puritanical views, is without a doubt one of the leading causes in the general public rejecting the left. When you use the slippery slope as much as they do, and in no doubt at this point claiming you like the Stellar Blade girl makes you a literal nazi, the regular people stop paying attention to nazis when everyone is, and especially when your most poignant example is “this man likes boobs and ass! Nazi!”

The menopause thing with JK Rowling really fucking angered me. These creepos are the worst type of sexist asshole and I see them no different from the most stereotypical right wing parody. At the end of the day they all get off in telling women how to think, feel and act. One simply adds “speaking as a trans lesbian” at the beginning of their spiel

TL;DR: Post 2B ass

[Nintex]

Most of them are just insecure men on illegal drugs with severe mental issues. 
 

The response of actual women against such waifu bait is usually something like: "ugh boys will be boys is that really necessary?" but they don't freak out about it. Unless it's their own husband/boyfriend and it becomes personal but that is the case with men seeing their wives have a crush on actors too.

But most people realize(even if they dislike it) that on a scale of violent rape, murder, addiction, abuse and cheating having a spouse that enjoys playing a videogame with an attractive character is not so bad.

The Matrix was a Kung fu movie distilled into palpable chunks for white cis folks. I remember seeing Crouching Toger Hodden Dragon in Central California opening weekend and people were laughing due to the "physics." A bit later, Matrix comes out and everyone is blown away and retroactively were like Hero and Crouching Tiger is cool.

Read that as Crouching Todger.

Crouching Todger, Hidden Strap-on is my favourite martial arts movie.

I went in the Joanne thread and it's fucking hilarious, I won't critique it too much because it's all pretty self-explanatory stupidity I would think for most of us:

This is the most direct and angry quote I have ever seen from Rowling that she does not believe trans women exist and are simply men, and that she conflates a few outlier trans people who committed crimes as being typical trans people (as though no outlier cis women commit crimes):

Rowling challenged the new law in a lengthy thread on X, saying the legislation was "wide open to abuse" after listing sex offenders who had described themselves as transgender alongside well-known trans women activists, describing them as "men, every last one of them".

"It is impossible to accurately describe or tackle the reality of violence and sexual violence committed against women and girls, or address the current assault on women's and girls' rights, unless we are allowed to call a man a man. Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal," she wrote.

What actually worries her is that:

The act, which was supported by MSPs from Scottish Labour and the Scottish Liberal Democrats as well as the Scottish National party, also creates a new offence of "threatening or abusive behaviour that is intended to stir up hatred" on the grounds of age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity and variations in sex characteristics.

I know this story was already discussed but I wanted to spell out the most shocking quote and transphobia. Tarring all trans women with the violent sexual predator brush because there have been one or two trans or self trans-identifying criminals and calling for a shutdown of trans recognition altogether because of one or two people is transphobia, and her panic-mongering about trans people is a hate crime.

I wanted to start here because of the complete lack of reading comprehension that starts off the Two Minute Hate.

And we're off:

She's said before that she "fears" that if she were born when trans people were more accepted, she would have ended up trans.

So yes it absolutely does include that angle, however she and similar terfs have dug their feet into "being a woman is miserable and trans women are appropriating our suffering". She's clearly got personal problems to work through and is taking it out on us.

Rowling clearly hates femininity (as seen by how Rowling was based on anotherwise harmless teacher she had who dared to sin and wear pink and love kitty cats) and at least societal womanhood but it's hard to say if it's in a trans way or a if it's just like internalised misogyny, though the ways in which she centres men in her works and took on a male non-de-plume for her mystery novels, which is one of the genres where women are arguably as big of writers as men, does make me raise my eyebrow to half mast. Whatever's going on I hope she can stop being a hateful person and find love for herself and for others

I feel like one could try to analyze the reasons for JKR's hatred all day but in the end it will mean nothing because people as radicalized as her rarely come back to senses and having introspection.

I'd rather see this discussion as an interweaving between whealth and power. It's clear that with her "Arrest me"-claims she wants to show that the law won't be enacted, especially for a beloved celebrity figure. That the Scottish government will once more be humiliated for trying the minimum of trans-friendliness. She basically wants to extralegally destroy the law by the weight of her fame, riches and an army of crazy zealots. Wich is extremely worrying for a democracy.

Yes that is very true. While not on the same scale nor with the same thuggery, she is basically doing what donald trump is doing and is being vocally above the law

Yeah, that's why the fascists and democracy-haters suddenly love her so much.

Gotta love pretty much everyone with serious money stoking a growing right wing autocracy )sarcasm)

That's why I like the quote: "Fascism is not an alternative to Capitalism. It is Capitalism in its most desperate, violent form."

Queer rights have always been the weak link in the fortifications of western democracy because our culturally and religiously rooted disgust and tabooization (why else are suddenly some atheists like Dawkins saying that they are "culturally christian") for non-traditional relationships and gender transgressions and effeminacy in male assigned persons. And just like Muldoon noted of the Raptors in Jurassic Park, the enemies of democracy were testing the fence for weak spots and have found it.

Yeah, all delicateness and hopes for her to become a better person are out the window. She's decided on her position and dug her heels in, she's made it a point time and time again that this is the culmination of her life's efforts, she will die on this hill no matter what we do. There is no sympathy left in this world for her.

I will not imagine a world where she's a better person, I will imagine a world where she's gone. She's made her bed, she can now lie in it.

It does unnerve me a little just how off the edge she's become while still facing no consequence. Not because I expected her to face consequences, or that I don't understand why she hasn't. Just that she remains a significant threat to our rights as a key part of the pipeline in normalising extremist rhetoric about us. She's been that, very successfully, for years and we've seen her progression mirrored 1:1 with both how we're spoken about and what elements of our life are under attack.

Regardless of whether it's surprising, the type of rhetoric and manner in which it's espoused in that tweet thread is pretty extreme. A list of specific trans women, a number of whom are vile people to be clear, done with the intent of conflating all of us with sex offenders before bluntly calling us all men. It's a marked move forward in the openness of her transphobia; a continuation of the chapter after she found her footing misgendering India Willoughby for weeks. Her continuing to face no consequences and instead being boosted on the front pages of *6* of our national newspapers, only fuels the normalisation of her views. Especially when they're sanitised and positioned as they are. I expect the way we're referred to in discussions about us to start reflecting this more blunt mask-off approach. She's certainly not going to stop doing it, ever, at this point. So the long-standing question of "when will people start to turn against her and recognise her as the hateful person she is" still has no answer, despite us being past the point of denying parts of the holocaust, creating lists of us to incite hate against and referring to us as men all the time. None of this is enough to get people to finally condemn the children's book author. So all I'm left with is the ringing question of "what will?", combined with a concern about what point general rhetoric/actions against us will reach while that question remains unanswered.

She's taunting the police and public because she knows that she has the "infinite money glitch" when it comes to laws. The police literally can't afford to prosecute her as she will throw as much money at solicitors as necessary to stop getting a conviction... and while the prosecution drags out and costs a fortune the papers will then start down the "Is prosecuting JKR worth the cost?", probably putting in beloved author as they usually do.

Unfortunately the best thing the police can do at the moment is let her spout off and flaunt the law, and prosecute everyone else that doesn't have the protection of money first. Once they have proved the law works and have prosecutions, sentences, etc under their belt they can go after her.

But, she's gone after India again, and india has shown a willingness to make complaints to the police about JKR, so maybe, just maybe the police might actually do something as JKR has already been warned to leave India alone.

It's the negligence of the left/centrist press that scares me more. There's a real lack of willingness from most in the media to pay any attention to what she's been doing. The only time the BBC will talk about Rowling is precisley when she wants that attention, like today. When she's denying Nazi crimes, threatening nobodies with SLAPP cases, promoting maniacs or praising fascists the BBC and their ilk are silent.

I really feel that the best way to deal with fascism and bigots like Rowling, Musk, Trump etc isn't to go after them, but their wealth, without that they wouldn't have the influence, power or destructive force to be as big voices as they are (ironically something Rowling herself noted in her books with the Lucius Malfoy) and instead just be another sad voice in thousands of sad voices.

There needs to be a bigger push for the redistribution of wealth, to strip the billionaires of their money they've horded for the good of everyone and just bar the idea of billionaires altogether like with wealth caps.

But that's just a fools dream sadly.

It's honestly just shocking just how little her Holocaust denial made it through to the public at large. I really wish the old Newspaper were just ran out of business, their not news, their weapons.

It fucking kills me how Rowling's shitty views are being amplified & boosted in the media. She needs called out and told to get to fuck but the pathetic response to her "I dare you to sue me" challenge will just embolden her, and by extension other transphobes. Stay safe out there everyone.

Immediate next post:

It's pretty remarkable that Rowling has managed to assume the status of martyr despite suffering no arrest, nor prosecution, nor persecution nor violence.

Get the spiders-mans ready. You know it's coming.

And we're back:

She got away with denying the Nazi book burnings. I think she's realised she's untouchable

This is the modern right wing movement as a whole. Always crying about being persecuted (on their huge platforms mind you) whilst simultaneously fighting to prevent free speech/voting rights/human rights.

The sad thing is it works.

It's so frustrating how basically every hate movement is rooted in people having some kind of identity, belonging, or esteem problem and vomiting it onto everyone else instead of dealing with their shit.

And Spiders-mans:

And that narrative is frustrating as fuck. It's like I'm living through the goddamn 90s again because it's the exact same playbook that was leveled against gay people then and it's like most people my age or older just have zero memory or recognition that it's the same fucking thing all over again.

I also find this especially weird. Everyone I know of my generation (late 30s / early 40s) would be horrified if someone described them as a homophobe, but for some reason a lot of them will say "well... I do have some concerns" if you described them as transphobes.

I can't understand why they won't just transfer the same empathy, understanding, and advocacy over from that era to today. Many of these were people who had arguments with their parents about gay rights... and now they've become the parents and they're filling the same role with seemingly no self-awareness.

I sometimes wonder how many people either held/hold certain ideas only for trying to seperate themselves from their elders or just not to seem old-fashioned.

WHAT IN THE FUCK:

Ah. Well that's… that's still stupid. Why do some people genuinely get excited at the idea of hurting/upsetting other people. Pure unfiltered weirdo energy.

While I have to remind myself that I'm a valid person regularly, it's very apparent to me that I'm not *people*.

Stuff like this for me isn't just doom scrolling. It's part and parcel of WHY I'm having a hard time with my parents. If the PM is saying these things are fair and reasonable, then I must be the unreasonable one asking my parents to use my pronouns and to refer to me as their youngest. Never mind the hurt they cause me by refusing to stop misgendering me.

And this is what's in the news. This is what they're being told is okay.

So why would they change?

*sigh*

And as is SO SO SO often the case, Joanne is the one pushing it. Because heaven forbid trans people get a protection before women one time.

And yet again, weirdo bigots hitch their wagon to JK Rowling's transphobia cart, to push their own agenda under "freedom of speech," and the transphobes still haven't had their "are we the baddies" moment.

Although if Joanne can't recognise she might be on the wrong side of history while Putin repeatedly invokes her name, and trans rights in the west as excuses for invading Ukraine, I don't think she will ever be capable of the introspection to realise she keeps attracting the nastiest kinds of people to her cause.

I feel like JK has opened up a whole new cesspit with her latest declaration, and we're going to hear a lot of ignorance from a lot of people.

Well, her straight up misgendering people isn't going to get people to admit she's a transphobe, so it's going to make them all feel like it's totally fair and not hateful at all to misgender trans people because the prime minister said it was 'biological fact'.

The dualities:

What is the point of this new law if someone with millions of followers on social media is allowed to purposely misgender the trans community and get away with it without any kind of reprimand for it.

What JK is doing is "stirring up hatred" as mentioned as part of this new law, she's getting her followers to think it's okay and normal to make fun of a minority community. And now we have the frigging prime minister also saying this is a perfectly fine thing to do.

I hate this country and world so so much.

So what's she even complaining about with this law then if her comments aren't classed as 'criminal'? Such a snowflake.

Somehow this is going to be portrayed as a victory for Rowling, when in actual fact it lays bare how dishonest her attempt at martydom was. Anyone who made a passing effort to understand this law knew her tweets wouldn't fall foul of it. It's very likely Rowling knew that, in which case I can only conclude this entire endeavour was nothing to do with the law change -- that was just an excuse. Instead Rowling's aim here was to show the world that needless public cruelty towards trans people is now acceptable in the mainstream.

In all practicality, there's going to need to be a call to violence or heavily implication of one for action to be taken by police. "Stirring up hatred" is too subjective for police to decide what to report, so they'll only pick the obvious reports.

It's amazing to me how many outlets and people are talking about how JK should be allowed to say those words with this "ridiculous" law and there's more important things to talk about and focus on yet so few are even questioning the words themselves.

Like, she pretty explicitly said some shitty things and few are talking about the shitty things said.

Several posters hit the nail on the head by pointing out that while Rowling and crew want all the focus to be on the right to say words, what they're saying with those rights is hateful and nasty whether the sentiment is legally publicly utterable or not.

Calling trans women men is simply petty and nasty and an act intended to cause hurt. Accusing all trans women of being sexually or violently inclined to hurt women is a lie and intended to rile up hate.

She shows who and what she is every time she engages with this topic - she's a hateful nasty bully who has no empathy or kindness.

Transphobia rots people's brains. Rowling no longer has an existence beyond hating, she doesn't talk about her books, about anything else. It's just a pit of hate.

Speaking of wich: The other day she was angry about a trans woman being elected for some UN womens board or something similiar but did she (aka the worlds greatest feminist) say anything about Saudia Arabia chairing the UN Womens Rights Commission?

I had to check her timeline and I can't see any mention of HP at all this year, though I may be searching wrong. It's hatred all the way now...

I wonder what makes billionaires hate people that they can't control with money? Do they all have main character syndrome?

Given Rowling's crusade against trans people started entirely because people pushed back against her original anti-trans rant, I'd say yes. Yes they do.

Rowling used to pride herself on trolling conservatives on her social media, and considered herself progressive, while her current friends in the media who praise her as a free speech advocate used to furiously yell about how a children's author should shut up about politics. (For example, when conservatives got mad about a black woman being cast as Hermione in the stage show.)

But once the praise dried up and she started getting mild criticism for her attitude towards trans people, she shifted her allegiances entirely, and now pals around with people so bigoted that her list of friends include self described fascists.

I absolutely believe that this started at least in part because her massive ego was hurt.

all the money in the world and she can't just fuck off.

Here's how I always look at it.

Rowling didn't think she was hateful. She didn't think her opinions were harmful. When she was confronted with that, she couldn't come to terms with the fact that her already held beliefs were harmful, so instead of learning and growing, she doubled down on her already held beliefs as being completely reasonable and so the people trying to show otherwise were just trying to destroy her reputation with exaggeration or made up lies.

So many of these people have this core belief that they have always been on the right side. Rowling, Glinner, Gervais.

They can't have done a bigotry. That's an impossibility. They know they're the goodies. So anyone claiming they did, must be an enemy.

oh my god where did I put my spiders-mans

Absolutely despicable. What a horrible person she is.

She really is terrible. On the bright side, I feel like I'm noticing a slight shift where the general populace are FINALLY starting to see how awful she is. It might be a bit of wishful thinking on my part, though.

Can she sink any lower?

Getting pushback on her initial statements was clearly part of it.

Overall, Rowling's case is a pretty textbook example of a person being gradually radicalized by social media discourse. Which isn't to say I think she ever held notably progressive views on trans people (maybe she did, who can say?), but for most of her life it was not an issue she appears to have spent any time on. Then she started like-ing a few tweets, etc. while having her reps say it was an accident or whatever. Then it got to the point of making public statements. Now it's essentially the whole of her public-facing activities.

Because, among other things, the more stuff she read, the more stuff she saw, the more her timeline (and friend group) shifted to include other transphobes. It's a reinforcing cycle.

What a hypocrite. As if she didn't pay to have her own face altered.

She literally had facial feminization surgery and cries daily on twitter, lmao

One thing Rowling, Musk and Trump made me realize is how easily you can break a billionaires mind by simply treating them like you would treat any regular person if they act like an asshole.

Their egos are remarkably fragile. I guess that scales up with their massive sense of self-entitlement.

I really hope Rowling gets a reckoning, but I'm afraid it won't happen anytime soon.

People get rich & famous and start buying into their own ego, refusing to accept they could be wrong because look at what a successful genius they are!

Throw in stan culture - fans who will always come to the defence of their idols, and hatemongering love bombers who are excited to validate the actions you're criticized for and these people are fully reinforced to believe they're the victim under attack from the evil critics they grow to dehumanize.

I will bang this drum every chance I get: being very wealthy and thus wielding a lot of power innately makes you unfit to wield that power. Severe inequality makes literally everyone in society's lives worse.

I think there has been a shift if only because she used to pretend to be a "nice person with concerns". Now every tweet she's just a horrible human, which does push at least some people away.

I really hope Rowling gets a reckoning, but I'm afraid it won't happen anytime soon.

Yeah, but as you can see with Kanye West nobody will intervene when they develop severe issues. It's like a Stalins Death-effect where you become so powerful and free of consequences that people will be afraid to help the powerful person when they actually would need it.

I don't think the persons I mentioned have much life quality left themselves (especially Stalin, he's dead. lol🙊).

Don't worry if Cenauru's falsely claiming she had FFS wasn't enough for you because look who else we've got:

Her mocking trans people for using facial feminization surgery is fucking rich coming from her.

Was just in January that they mocked a feminist for calling periods "sacred flow" just completely dismissive or unaware of the history of destigmatizing periods in feminist movements.

Bob Iger talked about why the sequel to Captain Marvel failed to become a success at the box office, considering the first installment earned over $1 billion when it was released in 2019: "The Marvels was shot during Covid, and there wasn't enough supervision on set [from executives."

 

it failed compared to the first one because the first one released between infinity war and endgame, the biggest movie event in who knows how long, and everyone thought it would provide important context, or at least help continue the story, or were so dumb as to think it might even be the next real installment/conclusion

Always amazes me when these execs refuse to consider the evidence in front of their faces and instead go with some stupid explanation instead.

Lol, sorry for quoting such an old post. I accidentally clicked on a previous page and the discussion seemed pretty much current so I didn't even notice it was from 2023.

They cast as woman for Silver Surfer.

Preach. So annoying to get a game with such varied and well modelled feminine outfits and have a bunch of them ruined with corny design elements. The detailing on them is incredible and you end up having to pray ones like the below aren't ruined by the bottom half lol. This one has a faux open back, where it would usually open to the bare back it has a second layer of material beneath the first that's like opalescent/silver with a pattern. The designers can definitely cook I just wish they hadn't been told to make fast food for half the designs.

I dont have an issue with the character being beautiful and curvy and sexy and all that. My issue is that this just doesnt convince me as a character capable of doing the things she does in game lol.

More importantly though, my main problem design-wise is the enemy design...

I find it really bad to be honest. I know they are supposed to be disgusting and repulsive, but so were other enemies in other games and yet they looked "cool" artistically i guess. Here, the designs, really make no sense to me. It is my main issue with the game. Other than that I love the polish, the tight controls, the awesome OST and the combat fluidity (although that parry/dodge window could be a bit more forgiving).

If reviews go well I think I might pick this one up. I just hope the enemy design gets better as you progress.

Would literally kill for the ability to mix the tops and the bottoms, it would save so many outfits.

As much as I hate this cunt, you really gotta respect the hustle she got going on over there and the control and complete immunity she’s got there.

Truly the queen of that place

See it going two ways. Either they keep her a sexy naked chrome lady and RE declares that the Chuds have won and Disney is over, or they give the silver surfer clothes for the first time ever and the Chuds get mad

Aren't they body shaming the model by constantly saying it's "unrealistic?"

I remember back in the early 2000's that was the go-to argument that the prigs would use to complain about jean ads featuring gorgeous models, or magazine covers with minor airbrushing "this creates an unrealistic and unattainable body image for women". Because they couldn't say what they wanted to say "fuck this bitch for being prettier than me. Men might see her and not want to fuck me". Nowadays if someone complains about such things they're rightfully told to fuck off, get a life, and go to the gym. When that hubbub happened over the scene in Star Trek where Alice Eve's character is briefly in her undergarments, Alice Eve spoke out and said she was proud of that scene and her body and didn't feel exploited at all. They won't be trying to speak on behalf of real women for a while. Fictional women on the otherhand are perfect targets for self-loathing sexual-fuelled jealousy because they can't defend themselves and even even if they were drawn or animated by a woman, you can say the way they breathe is too sexy or some fucking shit like that.

Kyuuji and her ilk spent the past week going apoplectic about SB and getting people banned for merely expressing enthusiasm for the game. But Kyuuji has now settled into the thread talking all about the game, something she denied other users of by getting them banned. And if you call out Kyuuji on this it's an instant perma ban. It's Cyberpunk 2077 all over again. 

Gotta admit Kyuuji built a nice racket for herself on ERA.

I’m surprised (not surprised) it took the chuds this long to make a discord server and migrate to that. Like why would you stick around. Just make the discord server and pass around some DMs.
