Journal of Other Forum Analysis (Volume II, Issue 1)

[Polident]

I like how the modern day game "writer's" idea of a friend group is a bunch of people walking on eggshells around each other.

Write what you know, I guess. Great "friends" they must have.

There have been studies about how teens are less likely to drink out of concern their drunken actions will be filmed by sociopaths around them. They’re constantly stressed out and on mood stabilizers to navigate this shit.

edit: first top of the page drunk te…actually, never mind.

good news! we now know why dragon age veilguard is shit

laura is a longtime associate of james stephanie sterling and is generally as insane as him

most notable fuckup was "hearing" the word retarded in a persona 5 song included in smash bros, writing a kotaku article being very concerned it, not realizing that the song was unchanged from the base game which he'd already reviewed and never noticed the "slur," because there was no slur, and then kotaku issued an apology, and at some point deleted both posts like they'd never happened

So it’s UK stuff but this is a delicious thread

https://www.resetera.com/threads/uk-political-era-2024-ot1-starmergeddon.928968/page-81#post-130872801

Oh fuck off.

Fuck off with this shit. What a tool.

Absolutely vile

Fucking prick.

To quote some, interesting take on a forum that claims there’s a trans genocide going on…

Isn't she also the one who accused a comedian of misgendering her at an Xbox event only to walk it back very begrudgingly some days later? Perfect person to represent trans people. Good job BioWare.

Edit: yep was her

One comment from OP that was interesting to me was that men can't share a bed together. That must have changed since I was younger because when I was in my teens and twenties, my friends and I shared beds all the time. One of my pals and I still joke about when my parents came home early from a vacation and found the two of us sleeping platonically in the same bed. Of course, now I don't want to share my bed with another human at all but that's a different story.

[Daffy Duck]

And following on from this Queen of Era

I get so tired of this yapping 🥱 The entire forced issue of cis women vs. trans women that runs counter to actual life. Have just spent the weekend alongside several cis women I didn't know prior (friends of friends) and had a blast. Went away with a few of their numbers and planning spa days or games sessions. That's the reality, consistent across ~3 years of transition.

Then you get this recurring gaggle of bored white women with no identity so they find community in whining about us, often losing their family and friends in the process. Too weak to go after men and systemic issues of oppression so instead they start drama about 0.2% of the population who're largely just taking names in video games and wondering what new cute shit there is to freak out over. What happened to being happy with 2pm Chardonnay and Neighbours istg.

0.2% of the population huh? Sure Jan.

So you’re killing a figure of 0.2% of the population and claiming it’s a genocide? Maybe you need to rethink your strategy here of claiming it’s a trans genocide.

There’s also the interesting insight here that maybe queen bee is one of the genuine ones trying to transition in normal life and be quiet and is just an absolute prick online in her forum, maybe I’m being too generous with that last point who knows.

The term genocide is a high bar. Even Ireland, one of just two European countries who are supporting South Africa's case at the ICJ, have not declared Israel's actions a genocide. The Foreign Secretary is not going to accuse Israel of genocide to a nearly empty House of Commons.

Genocide is a crime beyond the unimaginably terrible. It's beyond murder, beyond human rights violations, beyond war crimes, beyond ethnic cleansing and beyond crimes against humanity. The Rwandan genocide saw more than half a million Tutsi killed (out of a sub million population) and hundreds of thousands of women raped. The holocaust saw the systematic murder of six million Jews, plus millions of non-Jews targeted because of their race, religion, sexuality, politics or disabilities, plus millions of Prisoners of War. Two thirds of European Jews were slaughtered, with 1.7M killed in the space of just three months. It is important to respect how extreme the crime of genocide is. It doesn't matter how horrific Israel's actions are: genocide implies actioned intent to destroy the Palestinian population.

I think Israel is committing a genocide. It is certainly clear that there many in the Israeli leadership want to carry out a genocide. But debating whether it is a genocide isn't particularly meaningful in the short term: we must intervene to stop this even if it falls short. When the world talks about the holocaust we tell ourselves never again. By the time you can be certain something meets that bar it is far, far too late.

The UK is not in a position to stop Israel alone, but the West is. We have to pray that the new US administration is first a Harris one and second thinks differently to Biden.

So how about we knock of this trans genocide bullshit yeah?

To be fair if you've reached the point when you're aligning yourself with a group called Christian Concern. It's probably time to get off the internet.

what about Chris Chan Concern

Lammy is one of the smartest men to be elected to Parliament but they talk about him like he's a fucking idiot.

[Nintex]

I think at this point folks want the response to
"But what about Palestine"  

To be
 

There is literally nothing they can do from behind their computer to fix this situation and even if they went there nothing much can be done.
For Israel there is literally no reason to give up or back down when they are this close to victory. The Palestinians fucked around and found out, the UNRWA flew too close to the sun.

What I like about Taash is that she's also a hypocritical prick, just like her real life inspirations. In one review clip the MC points out that she's doesn't follow the Qun ideology and yet wears their arm ropes. She's responds in a snarky tone "Yeah I wear lot of stuff, you don't get to tell me who I am". Then 10 minutes later she proudly educates the MC about how she helps people because that's what the Qun teaches 

A+ no notes. She'd be a Twitter activist in the real world for sure.

Never forget Nex Benedict whom supposedly died in the genocide

When you've spent the last year plus enabling/arming/killing more than 100,000 people, you are the fascist. The Biden/Harris legacy will be that of genocide - full stop. Blinken/Sullivan/Greenfield will all have their names etched in history books right next to all of the worst war criminals the world has ever known. So fuck no.

Enjoy your white privilege, or whatever the equivalent term is for not suffering any major consequences from a Trump win, and clearly not giving a fuck about those who will. All because of one foreign policy issue that Trump would have been, and will be even worse on.

I love when they accuse each other of being evil bigots.

"You don't care about my cause, you're a bigot"

"No, you don't care about my cause, that's why you're the bigot!"

What did the wise old Nissan lady say? Intersectionality is a tough cookie to crack (spoiler, you can't crack it because compromises are anti-ethical to your identity politics)
