It's time for that thread again where the rees get together and tell each other how unique and deep they are. Unlike those boring normies who spend all their time watching Super Hero movies

https://www.resetera.com/threads/do-you-think-normal-people-are-happier.753124/

What these fucking idiots don't ever get is that you can be super into weird movies and video games and nerd shit and STILL be a normal person.

Even if they weren't into all that stuff, they'd still be a bunch of social retards.

Wasn't krostoffer a mod?  He's banned now.  Surprised that thread hasn't been closed.

Shonda was hanged for his crimes against humanity and for being a dumbass biiiiaaaaaattttcccvhhh

It's pretty funny to go back and read his posts when he was trying to sound all authoritative and shit when we all know he's just a little bitch and looks like a 12 year old victim of child trafficking.

This is what attracts them to their politics in which simply declaring an identity grants you moral authority, and thus power, that cannot be contested without disputing the victim status of the groups the person declares membership in. They're so exhausted because the rest of the world still stubbornly clings to judging individuals based on actions, behaviors and results despite their superiors showing them a better, morally purifying way by establishing a Kafkaesque caste system of constant conflict.

Splinter and the Turtles are actually reincarnations of an ancient Japanese clan and that Shredder is actually a inmortal ancient warlord that killed them centuries ago. So that’s why the grudge is kind of deep.
A little more reasonable than “hyper intelligent rat learned ninjitsu by watching his owner, and then got mutated”.

Royalian must’ve gotten triggered by everyone making fun of Trump. 

It’s okay to bully bullies, especially king bully.

Yeah but that doesn't mean you need to make random people with weight problems feel bad about themselves to do it.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/trump-on-trial-episode-2-ot-the-one-with-the-perfect-phone-call-in-georgia-fulton-county.706631/page-14#post-110437684

Now, you may be asking yourself, “Why are Lizzo and Trump even mentioned together?” I’ll admit, it seems odd! But both of these very famous people have been in the news recently and both have seen critics turning to a cheap source of mockery: their bodies.

I am the last person on earth to want to defend someone like Donald Trump, but something must be said for the quickness by which critics weaponize body descriptions when they are angry and seeking to condemn someone, celebrities or not. As if there aren’t countless genuine criticisms, complaints, and insults to be thrown at people like him, far too many people will turn to lazy jokes about his body type which—newsflash!—does not correlate in any way to his character.

...

I will start by saying that I love tearing down Trump. I think he is one of the most vile, nasty, and corrupt people to ever enter the political arena. I can’t say I like anything about him. However, as he was arraigned, (again) people took to social media to make fun of his appearance.

As I scrolled through Twitter, Facebook, and Threads, there was post after post remarking on his wild and messy hair as he stepped off his plane, his tie blowing too much in the wind, and—the most common subject of mockery—his weight. Yes, a lot was said about the historic indictment itself, but why do so many people feel the need to lump (alleged) criminal behavior in with jabs at a person’s weight as if they are both equally condemnable?

I can’t say I haven’t ever made fun of Trump’s appearance, I have. And I am not saying it is right. It probably made me feel better at the time, as easy jokes tend to do. Admittedly, it can be hard to avoid cheap, lazy jokes when that’s Trump’s default. He himself has mocked people’s appearances time and time again. He has a way of bringing everyone down to his level.

Directly speaking, look at how many people have been imprisoned or pending jail time because of him. More broadly, he has made our political discourse so childish, egoistic, and bully-ish. This, of course, only benefits him. Encouraging people to engage in cheap, superficial, prejudiced discourse distracts from what he really is: racist, sexist, xenophobic, incompetent, etc.

Not every single thing we utter has to add bold and positive commentary to the world; sometimes, we just want to drag people and go off about them because well, it may be what they deserve! But we have to be aware of what prejudices we may be perpetuating when we use cheap jokes about physical attributes shared by millions of people as a way to condemn an individual’s egregious actions.

What personal beliefs are those? Be specific.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/chris-pratt.753130/page-5#post-110445667

Whenever a conservative Christian brings up their religion it's always to justify their hatred of their fellow human beings and never to promote any of Christ's actual teachings.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/chris-pratt.753130/page-5#post-110445904

So your joy at others' distain for Chris Pratt is contextualized by a worldview comprised of superstition and advocacy for an economic system that demonstrably harms the poor and other marginalized members of society.

I swear we're a few moments away from somebody being 'brave' and calling out how much they love JK Rowling again. No context or care, just saying it.

And before you think that's extreme... to me it's not really anything different somebody who has no problem calling out gay people and stuff was no different than a TERF/TERD to me.

also his brother (Pratt) is a huge police nut.

 -¿No has ejecutado la oda? -preguntó el Rey.


-Sí -dijo tristemente el poeta-. Ojalá Cristo Nuestro Señor me lo hubiera prohibido.

-¿Puedes repetirla?

-No me atrevo.

-Yo te doy el valor que te hace falta -declaró el Rey.

El poeta dijo el poema. Era una sola línea. Sin animarse a pronunciarla en voz alta, el poeta y su Rey la paladearon, como si fuera una plegaria secreta o una blasfemia. El Rey no estaba menos maravillado y menos maltrecho que el otro. Ambos se miraron, muy pálidos.

This is what gets me more than anything. It's outwardly offensive to real poly people to pretend this is great poly representation, almost certainly all from not poly people.

How the fuck one can be “real poly people”? Is pretty much a lifestyle choice at best, a sexual kink at worst. Is not “real lesbians” or “real gays” situation.

Right. Like, what is a "real" poly relationship to them? They hem and haw how that isn't it, but they never explain why or explain what a "true" poly relationship looks like that differentiates it. They are saying it's not a "real" poly relationship it because it's anime/weeb shit, which is fine, but just be honest about it.

Apparently this year was the one event Geoff hosted that didn't have women. Despite having multiple women on stage all his past hosted events. This one time was enough to label Geoff as a sexist chud in ERA's eyes.

Did you miss the part where he liked an unspecified Tweet from Nazi CHUDlord Elongated Muskrat?

IF anyone had bothered to read between the lines they'd have realised what Christian fundamentalist guy actually said was bring back slavery and denied the holocaust; but I guess some people just don't want to see the obvious.

FACT CHECK: He didn't deny the Holocaust, he said he hadn't gone far enough as evidenced by the fact that TransEra is still around. Yet the staff "allies" only banned him for a month. And yet people tone police them when they arm up.

I was gonna say best of luck to her but I didn’t realize she harassed her own writers, gross.

Hopefully then this means the site can get back to what I thought it’s peak was when Scherier, Cecilia D'Anastasio and Joy Harper were writing for the site. Scoops and good analysis of games/games culture. They still have some decent articles every now and then but the quality has definitely waned in the past years.
