if you enter any thread about emulation, the tiktok ban, palestinian genocide, anything about china, etc. and come out on the other side still thinking this is a left-leaning forum i have a bridge to sell you lmao

And if you step outside this online bubble into the real world, check the temperature of the political climate, and still don't see Era as predominantly left-leaning, I'm pretty sure I could sell you the same bridge back at a good profit. Left-leaning literally means leaning towards the left from the center, not 'at least as left-wing as I am.

I watched Romulus a few nights ago on my phone screen and didn't think it looked too bad but something seemed off, I had no idea that they CG'd Ian Holm's face onto Rook, I'm also not a big alien fan and didn't even realize Ian Holm played Ash =/

Hi all, so one thing I don't think I've mentioned on era much is that I enjoy watching Golden Age Cartoons (besides the cringe racism and misogyny that depressing common, one of the reason why I don't watch the Classic Superman shorts much because they can be hard watches), a lot of it due to having several VHS full of classic Disney, Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbera shorts.

My mother loves them as well and we're currently having a debate (a fun one, not serious), which classic cartoon character is better; Goofy (my favourite character) or Daffy Duck (my Mother's favourite classic character)?

Debate!!!!

They don't give a fuck. This is one of the most hilariously cowardly forums out there. I'm thankful Hecht who is an admin and also afaik an armed forces veteran too at least has their head on straight. Cause it's so woeful here sometimes, seriously.

Hecht, an "armed forces veteran" 

That's some 'stolen valor' shit These idiots believe anything.

Armed forces veteran. Yeah, only thing he's retired from is sitting on his ass all day, playing Call of Duty.

You do not need to understand the feelings of other people based on their looks. The whole point of emphasizing is that looks don't mean anything to you at all and you want to understand and share your feelings with that person because that's what makes you human, not because they look like someone you'd want to fuck.

I realize that empathy is a trait you learn and that not everyone is going to be good at it, but holy shit.

I'm not talking about actual persons, I'm talking about made up characters. There's a very clear distinction. I can't share my feelings with a character on screen. Now, I'll assume you understood this, but just wanted some low level forum drama. And who mentioned wanting to fuck anyone? Maybe for you attractive = "I want to fuck them". I meant in a charismatic, appealing way.

User banned (2 months): Dismissive misogynistic commentary over multiple posts

You lack the self-awareness to understand that what's happening is that you, as a man, are simply stating that male or female doesn't matter to you because you are a man, thus seeing a woman has no impact for you. You have no skin in the game and feel no emotion toward the topic because you haven't been wanting to see more people who look like you in lead roles your entire life.

So, tell me, why do the women who post on Era need a positive thread about female representation flooded with men saying, "I'm a man and this doesn't matter to me like it does you, I can take it or leave it"?

No fucking shit? Why can't we as men just shut the fuck up and let women have a W?

What the hell? Did I state my opinion? I like female and diverse protagonists. Cool it down and don't tell me to shut the fuck up for nothing.

Also, please edit the title to not allow men to post if those are the rules in this discussion thread.

There hasn't been a lack of them so I find these thoughts weird to be honest. I genuinely don't care one way or the other as long as it's good.

It is solved by heavy regulation of our Internet landscape, but methinks that some of the regulation that might actually be necessary is going to be fought against by my generation anyways. Like, I seriously think some level of anonymity has to eventually go away and that criminal prosecution must be allowed to be more easily leveled against users for things like harassment and bigotry. KiwiFarms shouldn't be a thing. I also think that all entertainment and algorithmic-based social media platforms should be heavily restricted to users under 18.

Typical police and prison abolitionist who wants the police to monitor all of the internet constantly, require people to verify their identities with the state to view anything online, decide what websites are allowed to even exist and arrest people for posting comments that someone (particularly the police) doesn't like. Demanding the system she tells everyone to organize outside of throw countless numbers of people in prison in hopes of controlling the minds of the entire populace.

I think LGBTQ+ people from across the world need a country to call their own. I am going to make a thread about this later. But I don't believe there really is actual acceptance for us in the West (At least we can survive here and there are still some good protections in terms of rights) and we cannot openly exist in many other countries.

Israel but gay.

I got told the story of Matthew Shepard yesterday. I never heard of this. I probably should have by now. Beaten so bad for being gay in a bar and strung up on a fence that people thought he was a fucking scarecrow and later died of his injuries after 18 hours being strung up before someone found him. I was a child when this all happened. i never heard about this. This kind of shit isn't taught in history books.

1)How the fuck did this guy just hear about Matthew shepherd? the libs have been breaking it over our heads for 20+ years now, and...

2)This guy should read further about why Matthew Shepard was killed(answer:meth)

Hi Bob how is the intern - did your wife find out yet. Look if you made her Snow White we wouldn't have any complaints

CNN is actually right Bob, I won't rule out military action against Disneyland, we'll blow Mickey Mouse to Kingdom Come if you make another bad film

No the second one. Barron is playing it right now it looks pretty fun actually and there are absolutely no blacks can you believe it

Yes of course there is a Chinaman there is always a Chinaman bob, you of all people should know that. How else do you get the money.

Are there are any Arabs Barron... no son... in the Atari. Yes Barron thinks it has Arabs too but no blacks or Mexicans.

How should I know why there would be Mexicans in Czechoslovakia you brought up the Mexicans not me

Happy Hannukah Bob

All this feels like a stretch and an attempt to find issues where there aren't any.

You are talking to Minthara. 😂 His need to spotlight "problematic" issues and constantly raising awareness about it is unheard of, and annoying when reaching for it.

Makes me think of this recent post by our dear princess

I have nothing against Dafne Keen but when they do Laura again, they really need to recast. Laura should be East or South East Asian. Ideally mixed if they, somehow, decide to be bold and make MCU Wolverine not white.

"It's absolutely important that they recast Laura because she should be south Asian but also would be really cool if Wolverine gets race swapped."

(btw. Laura's ethnicity is completely ambiguous)
