They're too disabled to apply for disability! They pass out from exhaustion before they can finish the forms. It's truly tragic.

he's dunking on that guy for not being No True Scotsman Leftist because he's making the point that if you're too much of a lazy fat cunt to cook your own damn food its not societies job to door dash you chicken tendies and a $70 playstation rom hd graphics pack day one, because when space communism arrives everyone will be freed from the christo-fash-capitalist "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" tenet and the cool people get to regress back to infantilised degeneracy of a life of masturbation and vidya while people who think The Acolyte was shit are put into labour camps

When viewed with Era-goggles on, it makes perfect sense!

They really go in on this guy across the next several pages. Even dredging up his posts in the MS Activision acquisition thread (where almost every poster was extremely in favor and borderline republican about the whole thing).

Gee, I thought you weren't supposed to attack other members. I must be mistaken again.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Sexist Rhetoric

Ending was ok, didn't hate it. All the side character stories were really bad (Hughie's dad bit would have been fine but the sex stuff was a big NOPE) and Sage's "all according to keikaku" moment was suuuuuper predictable but the method was at least kinda smart enough to land a little with an entire season of misdirection and focus on the VP.

I really disliked how bad they handled the Ryan situation at the end though, that was the most predictable thing ever and Butcher giving him respect enough to make his own decisions felt like the good path forward. Also never a big fan of "hey look this one character (Butcher) is slowly growing, nah nvm back to the status quo (kills everyone with tentacles)". He'll probably get some weak moment of redemption in the finale but I was getting a little invested in his "I'm dying time to be a real dad" bit.

And honestly a little surprised they didn't just kill Starlight so they could avoid even more plastic surgery reactions in the next season, cause if she's actually addicted to cosmetic surgery she'll get even more before the next season starts filming.

[quote=Fat4all ]is it hilarious or sad, you need to get your emotions in line

Are you tone policing me?

It's hilarious seeing people who don't know anything about the industry get mad. But then it's also sad because y'all are just angry all the time. :(

You ignored my reply earlier so I'll just repeat it:

This is a legitimate issue. He is the face of this series. He is the brand. That means the buck stops with him, as the saying goes.

Between these accusations and his garbage non-response to the old racist videos of him (which was actually just his publicist responding on his behalf), there's plenty to legitimately criticize him for now.

The fact that other people are also (obviously) at fault is irrelevant here. He is the highest paid person involved with this series and it's not even remotely close. It is undeniable that he holds a lot of responsibility when it comes to contestants being mistreated.

I'm honestly not disagreeing with you. It's the price to be paid when someone attaches their name onto something. They get the glory but also the backlash when stuff like this comes out. If y'all were so adamant about working conditions then why is the Deadpool & Wolverine so many pages? It's the fact that y'all have such a raging boner of hate for the guy that leads y'all into this but y'all can ignore the transgressions that happen to other workers in industries that you do enjoy. Hypocritical and pathetic.

Oooh, I love catchy phrases meant to minimize bullshit. I've heard that phrase used for a few other things about "showbiz"

    When actor's have to get SA'd to get or keep roles.
    Or when bad working conditions leading to injury or death.
    Or when women "aging out" of roles before their 30's while men keep getting top-billing in action movie roles into their 70's.

Maybe don't use that phrase unless you "don't care" about any of that shit either, since that's all showbiz, baby.

May I ask what you do for work so I can also come up with bullet points?

The Enron defense. Impenetrable logic.

Honestly too young to know anything about that but wanted to acknowledge your post as well.

There was someone in one of The Boys threads commenting how they had an eating disorder and seeing how different Erin Moriarty looks actually triggered them and they had to turn it off. No warning or ban.

"Do not ever casually point out how different this actress looks! Her plastic surgery addiction is none of your business chud.

Unless of course you find it really upsetting. That's ok."

Man, come the fuck on. He's called Palestinians literally too inhuman to be peaceful

He already addressed this:

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_vcLko2Mns&feature=youtu.be

and volunteered to serve in the IDF (which just experienced literal "right-to-rape" riots).

By your logic our own military has done shitty things as well like as recently as Afghanistan and Iraq, see tourture in Gitmo for example. That should then disqualify anyone from running for office who are former US military? Scott Kelly should not be a VP pick as well then because of his association to the US military that inhumanly tourtured?

This line of arguing only gets a pass in the US because gringos are too used to justifying racism against Palestinians. I shouldn't be too surprised, however, considered this country has also done it to Blacks, Latinos and Muslims in general.

But your lies will be called out every single time. Shapiro actively acted against Ben & Jerry's for refusing to sell their products in OCCUPIED LAND WITHIN THE WEST BANK. Only a pro-ethnic cleansing rat would make such a fuss about a bunch of fascist land thieves not getting their favorite ice cream while they kick out entire families from their houses to keep the land for themselves.

He is an anti-Palestinian racist no matter how you frame it.

So he should get the blame for enforcing a PA law, https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdoc...&chpt=000.&subchpt=000.&sctn=003.&subsctn=000, as Attorney General, that was approved by state Democrats and Republicans, and signed into law by the previous Democratic governor when he received a complaint from a state representative? It's not the law that is the problem or the people who wrote and approved it, it is Shapiro because he is racist against Palestinians?

Said PA law:

It is in the interest of the United States and the Commonwealth (Pennsylvania) to stand with Israel and other countries by promoting trade and commercial activities and to discourage policies that disregard that interest.

It sounds to me this law was not carefully thought out then.

You can see it not only in "dismissing concerns" but along other aspects of "left" think elsewhere that being realistic or skeptical is condemned because you're undermining the potential of it becoming real.

this is true but i dont think its wrong when thinking about strategy, people say be the change you want to see so constructing that reality and making sure others dont stray from it makes sense. thing is by doing that you're supposed to inspire others to buy in but they do the opposite and drive people away, they dont make whatever their vision is look attractive or consistent. if you want people to join your cult you have to promise them what they are missing. the people at reee who are bought in already are well already bought in but nobody from outside that bubble will want what they are selling

I think it's wrong because they're premising it on achieving something impossible. It's poor strategy to direct all your efforts at the impossible.

is this a developmentally stunted/lost in fiction sort of thing?

omg this geopolitical situation is just like when kuja manipulated queen brahne into nuking the cleyrans, we all have to be strong like garnet

I consider it in two forms:
1. There is a developmental thing about understanding the difference between fiction and reality, we've long established they have poor reading ability and poor media literacy.
2. It's their major source of information. They don't study the real world.

The Kyuuji pre-transition pics seem a bit mean spirited. 



I don't remember this place feeling like Kiwi Farms so I just checked those boys out to compare and...
 

Nevermind, carry on.

I generally agree, and in addition to going too far in my book, its also redundant - this threads Usual Suspects get there on their own merits by the quality of their character, not how they look.

At best I get some easy layups for unnecessary dunks that Malds looks like Andy Pipkin or Raptorlegs hates JKR because they probably got called a Weasley at school

Let me address this for myself and myself only. I do not post this stuff to mock them for it, I'm not going to mock fat4all for the way he looks, I have no reason to mock Kyuuji for being ginger, etc. This is about critiquing social power.

If after I post this stuff people mock Melody for the way he looks rather than his expanding mass of Gundams or Nepenthe for her being a furry rather than her lack of dignified life at that house, I'm not going to police that and say this is about undermining their power so everybody needs to back my agenda.

I'm also not under the illusion that the true believers are going to run screaming because they see the real person, I'm not a revolutionary. But there's a constant permanent effect when you read IrishNinja's violent nonsense and remember what he looks like and how his real life is. Extrapolate this across the members.

If anything, Melody is clearly better than these people. He's putting himself out there as he is. He's not hiding, trying to cover his tracks and protect his history from being used against him as they use any tiny thing against anyone else. Look how fast Kyuuji tried to hide his connection to a single YouTube account and probably would have done the rest if he could. Look at Nepenthe's reaction to the first time she noticed something that had been posted before that she only noticed because people were critiquing her anti-semitism and pro-genocide posts. Look at Bobby Robert's reaction to the fact that people were simply talking about things he posted under his own real name and was himself proud of saying. These things matter within the context of the commentary that is uncovering them.

If you are attempting to leverage your identity to obtain power over others it matters that you're being dishonest and lying. Melody's funny because he's so fucking inept at this and yet he comes back every week asking for more food donations and hinting at suicide. His power exists only because of the hegemonic structure established by people like Kyuuji and Nepenthe. And that's the critique embedded in uncovering the truth of such members, it matters that you're trying to control what others can perceive about what you're using as justification for your power.

Resetera is infuriating because you can't just call someone out on their bullshit.

Also this. And even more to me, the fact that others there are too cowed or too complicit to do it. Especially not publicly.

That said, if members continue to complain (either directly through posts or through the likes on those posts which I am not ignoring, I'm aware my position is strongly a minority one on here) I will continue to consider other ways of doing this. One thing I have to reject is creating a private section where it is done because that is what they do. I believe there is value in The Bire being public and not only easily seen but easily confronted just by signing up. The fact that a person refuses to engage their critics and instead only smears them where they feel safe from the critics is telling about their character. Since it was brought up, I believe Kiwi Farms is an excellent example of this when you look at the people who have chosen to engage them directly, like Caroline Farrow who is the first declared-lolcow who did it I could think of immediately, rather than try to encourage off-site mobs to find ways to prevent it from existing through false accusations and criminal behavior.

This may be a discussion that warrants its own thread rather than litigated in here.

Doctor Doom is Romani and it is a fundamental part of his origin and who he is, much like Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. You can whitewash someone in more ways than just skin color and that's absolutely whats been happening with Roma representation in the MCU, especially with Scarlet Witch.

The persecution and racism that his parents undergo inform who he is.

And that is a fear in all media and I can respect that, like I said in one of my comments I'll go off of what my wife does, Romani, brown hair and green eyes and pale skin, who marks white on every doctor visit lol. I get the Romani people are not "white" before, but that was 1000 CE, there white now or we call Irish, Italian, German, Russian none white. White washing is a cut and dry term, it's go nothing to do with the racism between European tribes. We are not casting a white man into a roll that's Asian or African. That's why I have an issue with the comment.

Educated, reasonable people can be unemployed, can be on state benefits (to go back to what you were saying previously).

You need to see that your mistake lies in conflating unemployed, less educated or poor people with these racists.

I agree with everything else you're saying but we're not going to fix racism with classism.

I have met plenty of people with varying views (which are mostly covert) but I know for a fact they would not commit any crimes in fear of a career ending move. Nor would they be stupid enough to try and assault the police.

I would argue most of these hooligans appear to be mostly uneducated folk, and yes, most of them appear to be from a working class background. They look like your usual flavour of football hooligans. A quick Youtube search of the rioters seems to confirm my suspicions

They're whitewashing the roles because they think that the average Disney's™ Marvel® fan is a complete fucking moron and doesn't actually know what a Romani person is and will be confused if that actually forms part of the character and their motivation.
