Again for everyone in the back: THIS SHOW WILL NOT GET A SEASON 2 UNLESS YOU ALL WATCH IT ASAP.
If it doesn't get renewed, it's because not enough people watched it. You have to watch asap and spread the word NOW.
Do not get pissed there's no Season 2 later on if you don't do this now. NOW is the time to act.

Well, I did my part. All episodes were restreamed in the background since I already watched it on US Max.
It's up to all of you now. Don't complain if you don't end up watching it!

Gang, you're all watching it right? Or running it in the background right? Or telling people to watch right?
Because 24 hours later it's not on the US Top 10 in Netflix.
And to be clear, watching it in US Max will do absolutely nothing right now. It has to be US Netflix because they're going to make the call on a second season order.
I understand the frustration that it's not available in all regions. I get it. Netflix only bought it for select regions, and WBD has to make a decision on other regions. I get it. It sucks. If you can't watch it, tell people in regions that do have it to watch it. You can still help by spreading the word.
If everyone gives up or waits too long, then it's not getting renewed. You all keep asking for more adult animation that isn't comedy, and more original IP animation. NOW is the time to prove it. Not only does this need to be watched, but the word has to be spread about the show while it's being judged by execs. I'm begging you all, now is the time to act. If Manifest's fanbase could bring it back from the dead via coordinating, it's possible for other shows to do so too.

As I feared.

Well, can't say I didn't try. It's just going to be frustrating to hear a bunch of people come out of the wood work when Season 2 doesn't happen. And it'll be like "WHERE WERE YOU ALL WHEN IT MATTERED"

Unfortunately, 48 hours after launch, it's still not in the show Top 10.

It's not looking good gang. We don't have enough people watching.

This moron really thought Reee was going to push this into the top ten? These ding-dongs really do have a bad case of "main character syndrome" The community as a whole have this over inflated sense of self importance. How many views did they think they were going to contribute? 10000s? 1000? 100? or 10?

I'm dead curious as to how the alternative system for deciding which tv shows to continue with works. I'm almost certain it involves a council of high priests deciding on our behalf.

Furiosa's performance is why Disney brought back palpatines, Skywalkers and everything else they could for the sequel trilogy. People don't care how good Furiosa is as a character they wanted a Max movie. Also was hurt by people who automatically lash out at anything with female leads.

Ehhhh, people didn't even come out for the previous film.

They wanted a Max movie.

2 retardera members were artists on that show, Khanimus and another I’m forgetting. So it feels even funnier seeing their own show fail on the backs of their community.

[Shecky Fragbaum]

Incidentally Furiosa was awesome. Go see it in an empty IMAX fuck it.

[Disco55]

Will vouch on that. Furiosia is very good, though i not quite as good as Fury Road.

Numerous, but one of the biggest ones was Sakura from Cardcaptor Sakura making me realize that I might be both trans and bi. Mostly because over the course of the 70 episode show, kid me basically went from "Oh, the original is a show for GIRLS..." to "Oh, I actually like this show anyhow..." to "Sakura's really cool and I wish I could be as cool as her. And she gets to wear all those cool outfits... I wish I could too... Not that I would ever tell anyone this."

Is Leo from the Tekken series officially a woman now?  I remember Namco had let the fans decide if Leo was a man or woman.

The Reee trans always have stereotypical notions of gender. I like pretty things. Therefore, I'm a woman.

[Besticus Maximus]

I just googled cardcaptor sakura and it was even creepier than I expected.

[Snoopy]

started playing skullgirls and realized that girls are cool.. so in response i became one

(also met a lot of other queer people thru the game which certainly helped me figure things out sooner lol)

If I was ree trans and I read this I’d be seething. Posts like this make them look absolutely ridiculous

Hey, I actually really appreciate that. The several rude messages I've received have been disconcerting and out of character for this board; this is a nice reprieve.

I've seen my post reappropriated on other threads; I've never had somebody do that but it feels subtlety violating (that word has a wide spectrum of severity, and it may be more accurate to just say it feels bad). I think that kind of behavior is exactly what I was trying (unsuccessfully) to point out here. I don't think dragging people on the internet ever really feels that good, especially when so many of the comments are meant to be hurtful toward the individuals (and not the truck itself). Calling people Musk Zombies, fascists, incels, and now harassing myself (albeit subtly) for any push back is not on-brand for this place, or any place that deems itself a place for discussion.

I probably won't post here very much as everything I say will be kindling for ridicule or reposting. But I definitely appreciate someone being kind!

Even if every REEE member watched it, it wouldn't matter.  Companies like Netflix look for view numbers in the tens of millions, not tens of thousands.  And that doesn't take into account how many REEE users are inactive, abandoned, bots, alts, etc.  There are relatively very few active users on there, and the majority of those are the 24/7 power posters.

The Cybertruck thread is one of their more unhinged and retarded threads, whenever it’s bumped up I get a good chuckle out of some weirdos circlejerking over a car they could never afford and how it’s a failure when it’s selling well above teslas expectations already


Take for example:

It also doesn't help that there have been like zero videos of cybertruck owners being normal or doing something good and kind with the car. It's like, do reverse donuts that run into a crowd, cut your dick off in its trunk just after seeing it bite a carrot in half, get stuck on the beach, get stuck on a tiny hill, get the ugliest wrap imaginable, park somewhere you can't get out, be way too surprised that people don't think your car looks cool, defending Elon even as the cybertruck is actively digesting one of their children's hands, and so on.

“Why are there no videos of the Cybertruck owners driving their cars like normal people, or doing things that help people out?”

Again, product of what they want to see. For example after the storms in Houston knocked power out, someone powered a gas station with their truck so people could gas up.

Such an odd group on that thread

[Nintex]

I don't know how you can be alive during the last several years and not understand the utter frustration of the moment when it comes to billionaire narcissists just doing whatever the fuck they want without accountability. How can you look at it and not be able to instantly see the Cybertruck as the living embodiment of how fucking bad at his job Elon Musk is? We're living through an extremely stupid period in history. We need to be able to point and laugh.

And what's your job Mr. Rag?

This is the crux of it. They hate Musk and they see the Cybertruck and Twitter as his two big missteps and have to harp on about them at all times to prove they're right that he's just a nepobaby who isn't worthy of his success. 

What drives them crazy is that the jury is still out on whether those are actually missteps and things are actually looking up on both fronts.

[kaleidoscopium]

Reading that post from year and a half ago, they didn’t expect Twitter to make it even a few months. Yet it’s somehow more active, survived launches of multiple competitors even from Meta with the failed launch of Threads, and the CEO has stayed on when they thought she would be fired within a week. 

You can almost set a clock to how wrong they are, like Jim Cramers stock predictions

[Nintex]

Musk changed the tech industry forever with those mass lay-offs of people who didn't contribute anything to the actual product. 

Although revenue is probably lower thanks to advertisers bailing, his costs are much lower too.

Gender
Agender

Pronouns
Whatever

Sexuality: I watched a ton of Xena when I was little. Adults would ask me if I wanted to be Xena. I'd say, "No! I wanna be Gabrielle and follow Xena everywhere."


Gender: Every time I saw a shirt or other clothing with the Batman logo I'd say, "I wanna be Batman!"

People would say, "Don't you mean Batgirl?"

And I'd say, "No, I mean Batman!"


It took me way too long to realize both these things.

Got pulled over with a crack dealer in my passenger seat, gun under his seat, him holding several $20 bags. Took a right without stopping on what barely was a red light, cop was parked in a lot to the left with no lights on. Was sure I was going to jail but had to stay calm, dude swallowed the baggies before the cop walked up to the car. I give him my papers, I guess his cop sense goes off and he has out get out of the car and sit on the curb, we're fucked. It's an old guy cop too, no nonsense.

He comes over to me and separates me from the other guy, he asks me "now look, I'm going to search your car, I'll have the K-9 unit come out if I have to, I want you to tell me right now if there's anything in there you don't want me to find". I only had a second to think, I was trying to keep cool. I told him there was a pot pipe in my center console. He tells me "if you're lying to me, you're going to jail."

So he goes to the car, right to the center console, takes the pipe out. He asks me if that's it, I say yes, that's it. Cop paused for a while, he tells me to get in the front seat of my car and turn it on, but keep the door open. I do so, and he walked behind the car and put my pipe behind my back tire, then he told me to slowly back up, which I did, smashing the pipe.

That was it, I got a ticket for running a red, he said we were good to go and that he appreciated my honesty. Drove away, pulled into a McDonalds parking lot so my passenger could throw up the baggies that had been sitting in his stomach for like 20 minutes, had those broken, maybe even had one broken he could have died.

I haven't gotten pulled over in ages though, it's been at least 10 years.
