User Banned (Permanent): Downplaying rape, numerous severe priors

These movies did more to harm to women and young adults than Harvey Weinstein.

Pure misery, and the actors started trash talking these abominations while doing press for them. The fourth one is pure trash.

Imagine getting permanent banned in a freakin Twilight thread with that

It's hilarious how a hyperbolic joke about rape is taken so seriously and treated as this major crime, but somebody starts talking about how the collective nation of Jewish people needs to "go back where they belong", sharing domestic abuse next door or lecturing people about what's sex slavery suddenly the nuances and turns of phrase shine through as the focus. They start yelling at you to LIGHTEN UP too.

Just wanted to address this.

The misinformation on social media platforms and how they spread is literally my top concern and what I think is one of the biggest threads to humanity at this point along with climate change.

Tiktok, compared to other social media platforms, at least on the American side of things, has recently (as of just last year afaik) built a dedicated misinformation team and actively addresses issues such covid 19 misinformation, election misinformation, and dangerous conspiracy theories. That shit is no longer even allowed to be spread on the platform, while other sites will at most slap a label on the misinformation that people will largely ignore.

At least in my experience, in the industry they are doing a far better job of controlling the spread of misinformation than other platforms.

Of course they aren't going to get it all, that's impossible for anyone, but I can say progress is at least being made.

                          gaslighting by a TikTok employee?

What happened with Fiction for her to not recognize that those things ("misinformation/dangerous conspiracy theory preventions") are usually the very tools used by oppressors and oppressive governments to further their power and control by suppressing truthful information that would be damaging or revealing of the crimes they commit?

I liked Fiction as a person back in the day and thought she was fairly sharp on things, but this is making me think some derangement really took hold of her since then.

Fuck it, I'll bite.
My supervillain name would be Estro-Jen and I would operate out of Star City and my primary gimmick is that I use my gender gun to forcefully transition people to give them crippling dysphoria to aid in my crimes, with my sub-gimmicks being that I give my services to free to trans people and also I have DID and the little girl headmate uses a thrifted killer moth costume to try be a superhero "Fairy Girl" who flys around and basically tries to be spider-man whenever she is out. That's two gimmicks for one supervillain, you've got to love that, I'll sell all the toys

Desperate to get caught...

but what if you paid for your tent? with your own money?? isn't that theft of property if the cops take it

In that case, why bother waiting until nobody was in them?

I always just assume they're Black Bloc, these are people who go to every "left-wing" protest purely to try and start something. You'll always find them standing around constantly talking about how prepared they are as they try to encourage others to commit crimes. They claim to be anarchists and anti-fascists but all they do is want to be able to do what the fascists did historically. Then claim it was "political" in some incoherent vague way.

edit: Freddie deBoer had a pretty savage mockery of them once upon a time but I can't seem to find it with a simple Google search, just turns up a few sentences or paragraphs in other columns of his like this:

The stereotypes of the anarchist movement were frequently unfair but did not come from nowhere: the anarchists tended to be drawn from affluent and stable families and for some the attraction to anarchy was predominately pre-political, which is to say that they wanted to rage and break things in a way their privileged upbringings had not permitted. And this led to protest behaviors that were suboptimal, not because we had a particular fondness for the police or the rules but because protests take place in the contexts of neighborhoods where the flesh-and-blood human beings we’re trying to rally to our cause live, and they universally do not want perpetual adolescents in paintball outfits wandering around looking for someone with wrists skinnier than theirs to fight.

But if they’re cool, we’re cool. Dust off your black Skechers and puff out your chest, knock yourself out, as long as you aren’t fucking things up for the rest of us. Nobody wants to be the protest police. I certainly don’t. If people want to wander around looking like they just left an Avenged Sevenfold concert, flashing their little first aid fanny packs at everybody, godspeed to them. But we’ve arrived at this bizarre moment where most left-aligned people are pretending that they think the ugly and pointless riots of last year actually did something or meant anything, and people who haven’t left the house in six years and have Stalin for their Twitter avatar are pushing a hard line on antifa blamelessness.

He had also stated that hamas has an "ancient hatred" and ancient desire to wipeout the Jewish people, which is the most ridiculous shit. It’s straight up oriental islamophobia and charging muslims with historical european hatred, crimes and atrocities.

Once again they lack the most basic reading comprehension 

With the indifference of the world, Hitler knew he could expand his reign of terror by eliminating Jews from Germany, to annihilate Jews across Europe through genocide the Nazi’s called the “Final Solution” — concentration camps, gas chambers, mass shootings. 

By the time the war ended, 6 million Jews — one out of every three Jews in the entire world — were murdered. 

This ancient hatred of Jews didn’t begin with the Holocaust; it didn’t end with the Holocaust, either, or after — or even after our victory in World War Two.  This hatred continues to lie deep in the hearts of too many people in the world, and it requires our continued vigilance and outspokenness.   

That hatred was brought to life on October 7th in 2023.  On a sacred Jewish holiday, the terrorist group Hamas unleashed the deadliest day of the Jewish people since the Holocaust. 

Driven by ancient desire to wipeout the Jewish people off the face of the Earth, over 1,200 innocent people — babies, parents, grandparents — slaughtered in their kibbutz, massacred at a musical festival, brutally raped, mutilated, and sexually assaulted.  Thousands more carrying wounds, bullets, and shrapnel from the memory of that terrible day they endured.  Hundreds taken hostage, including survivors of the Shoah.

His speech is saying the opposite, that one group or event isn’t the origination of the hatred for Jewish people, but that it’s a long history that Hamas is part of but not the only one. These people can’t bother reading something beyond TikTok headlines or they might understand that. Fucking terrorist simping weirdos

The most ridiculous part of all of this is that the jew hating anti-semites hamas lovers on the left still call people they don't like....

Is that more "oriental Islamophobia" than denying what Islam says about non-believers? Or denying historical Islamic hatred, crimes and atrocities?

I think we can admit simultaneously that his parents' generation had an easier time being able to afford a home, college, etc., But also that most of these era posters are fucking idiots.

I don't think we can admit that at all. Capital is far more available now than it was in the past. Home loans and college loans have never been given out as easily as now, they're both massively subsidized by the government and have been for decades. Then you have the fed's low interest rates for all our lives.

A home, college and even food were lower in dollar value in the past but they were far more of your paycheck. You used to have to actually have capital to get loans too.

Our parents and grandparents didn't buy homes where people already lived, they created the suburbs and entire cities.

ehhhh...granted i don't know much beyond my own experience and those of friends but it definitely feels harder to get a house now. prices aren't dropping too much and interest is rising. there's definitely more down payment assistance programs which helps a lot but it's still a pain even with a steady job and good to great pay. and at least locally inventory isn't there and houses that are not really amazing are selling for $50-100k more than they would have been a year or two ago.

plus there are stats showing that home ownership is down among younger generations. so i don't think its "impossible" but i'm not gonna say its easier than it has been previously. but also i feel like if i can own a house, its possible for almost anyone

[benji]

Facts don't care about your feelings.



You can't compare to the bubble, it was only a specific moment in time:

[nachobro]

In that case, why bother waiting until nobody was in them?

cause it looks bad when they crack the skulls of white kids just to toss some tents and trash

or something, i dunno i'm not a cop

[nachobro]

Facts don't care about your feelings.

many people are saying this, they come to me and they say "president trump, its so hard to get a house now. joe biden has ruined us all". we can't let this continue folks, its just sad. so sad.

[benji]

Trump would definitely start a subprime bubble if he could just because he would be out of power when the cost comes due, man seems to have lost what little long-term thinking he had.

Does the trans mafia not suspect anything?

I assume it's some sort of mod alt, just there to have a lil fun.

Last time a mod spoke negatively of some sexual or gender issue (“asexuals ain’t real”) it got a shitstorm of epic proportions. Is more likely that the most savvy from TransRE suspects something but there is a lot of clueless idiots like EchosOfTheCyborg that are friendly with her.

Did you read the speech? "Ancient hatred" is very obviously referring to the violent antisemitism he talks about in the preceding several paragraphs, which Hamas is (proudly!) a modern torch-bearer for. I see nothing at all there to signal it is referring to all Arabic people in general.

This came up in the other thread too. Y'all we really don't need to be policing Holocaust remembrance events or downplaying antisemitism. I get it, it's bullshit that he condemns the protestors and not the violent mobs. But that is just not a road we should go down.

I'm really starting to lose patience with you. This conflict, this state, these groups, they didn't exist in ancient times. It could literally only be referring to Arabic people in the region. It's SO incredibly on the nose and on top of that he's had a history of openly not liking these groups, so I'm sitting here trying to to put together how you could make this wild stretch just to give him benefit of the doubt here.
