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

[Boredfrom]

Honestly I think a lot of left-leaning progressives like to act like they're the party of love and acceptance but won't hesitate to call Trump fat, make fun of Elon's body, or crack wise about Abbott's disability.

You can support Crockett without condoning ableist speech.

So close yet so far…

[DavidCroquet]

So basically what I'm picking up from this thread is people's unassailable values, their red lines, the thing you absolutely cannot do under any circumstance, only extends to not using prejudicial language.

Because boy-howdy. That thread on eight Democrats defecting from the Party to help pass anti-trans legislation in Michigcan only got 45 replies.

You don’t care about that either, you fucking bitch.

At least try not to be an hypocrite and call people as you do at Twitter and Discord.

So is she saying we can use prejudicial language? Or that if someone does use it, we shouldn't care? Like, I don't get the point she is even trying to make here...no one is posting in the thread "let republicans win elections because she said gov. abbot wandered into office straight from the burger king kids club", which is the fundamental problem people have with Genocide Joe retards.

Does she even know what forum she is supposed to be administrating?

[Boredfrom]

I'm not seriously attacking you as a bigot, just the inconsistencies in the arguments here which demonstrates my wider point about principles and prioritization within the political sphere as a whole. (It's also just funny what level of bias is okay and what is not as demonstrated openly by some posters here.)

Do I think she SHOULD have said it? Not really. And I'm certainly won't speak for how disabled people should feel about the insult.

But to me it's telling that this is what people are demanding apologies and accountability for. Like "I can excuse Gaza, but I draw the line at ableist insults."

As I implied, people's principles are flimsy and the prioritization doesn't make sense to me.

What are you talking about? Most of the forum is with you with this one, you dumb cunt.

[Boredfrom]

So I'm being accused of only caring about prejudicial language because I missed a thread about Democrats stabbing the trans community in the back? One of the reasons I left the party is because they do things like that. I don't think we should abandon communities depending on us for support, and I also don't think we should attack people over disability, race, gender, etc. Avoiding the type of insult Crockett used is easy, and with how divisive this thread is shows it's not a strategy that's worth it.

This isn't about you. It's about liberalism and liberal tendencies.

THIS IS YOUR QUEEN, ERA!?

[Boredfrom]

The irony of pearl-clutching over this language while using language like "whore" is not lost on me

Or when you used cunt.

Nepenthe, if she's anything, is just anti-white. If a white person says anything, she will immediately oppose it without actually thinking what she's saying. If you had the time, energy and patience, you could easily bait her into praising Hitler and the Nazis.

[DavidCroquet]

Nep: "ya'll are bigots"

Anyone: "wtf, why are you calling me a bigot"

Nep: "Excuse yourself, I was addressing the Platonic Liberal, whose gossamer mirage floats between my eyes and my computer screen at all times, allowing me to hurl insults and cast broad generalizations freely while avoiding being drawn into any direct conversation with a real individual, where I may have to answer for myself. Read the theory!"

[HaughtyFrank]

The audacity of Nepnep to complain that no one posted in the trans thread when she herself ignored this one completely

This is exactly like the hit pieces against Nia DaCosta for The Marvels, crazy how this happens only for minority and women led films.

Fuck off, Disney.

Are you still gonna support Disney?

Hot Wheels thread getting a little *too hot*

[Besticus Maximus]

It's not like she did a misgender but it's definitely also dismissing concerns

[benji]

I want to know how white someone must be to pay reparations and how black or indigenous someone must be to receive reparations. I think that question makes the whole argument silly because no one is going to be happy with whatever the answer is.

Do the work. Simple as.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/democratic-congresswoman-jasmine-crockett-calls-texas-gov-abbott-‘governor-hot-wheels’.1144488/

No! Do not clutch your pearls on this. One of the true fighters on the dems side and you want to gag her and wag your finger on how she is wrong.

Miss me criticizing a black woman and member of the house that's been doing good work.
.

Why do I imagine their idea of "good work" by this "fighter" is stuff like that irrelevant argument with MTG or this:

[Jansen]

[benji]

Is Governor Hot Wheels even an insult? I like how they aren't asking this and instead assuming that mentioning anything about a person's disabilities must be problematic and trying to decide what the proper threshold of evil is before you can say something wrong about them.

I mean, it's not like most people know the other one.

Hot Wheels thread getting a little *too hot*

If he was consistent he'd ban a whole lot of people in that thread for excusing ableism, including nepenthe.

He wont be consistent

Has a staff member ever been banned for anything while they were a staff member?

The thread was locked because of nepenthe. They have to protect her like Grandma got into the vermouth on Thanksgiving.  "Okay, grandma is a little tired, lets put her to bed early.  Nothing to see here."

PlanetSmasher has broken the 130K barrier

130,021 posts in 2,706 days is the equivalent of ~48 posts/day over the past near 8 years. Not including periods where he was banned whether self-requested or otherwise.

already up 130,117 

planet is the mvp of not touching grass, the goat of being terminally online

but I wanna give kudos to lotus, he's not given his due, up 120k or so, deserves his flowers too

That would imply that a staff member could do something wrong which is impossible because they're a staff member

Support in what way? Watching their stuff?
Only thing from them I watch are MCU films and the rest I watch through other means.

I will still call out their bullshit practices even if I do enjoy some of their output.

[HaughtyFrank]

We got a number of very mild 1 week bans

No sympathy for assholes. As long as she defends people with disability she can call an asshole in a wheelchair whatever she wants.

CP2077 is one of the best video games ever made. god damn what a ride

It really is. I obtained every trophy both base game and DLC. Easily one of my favorite games ever. It deserves all the sales.

Probably why they're so sensitive to being called cops since sometimes even they get fired or go to prison. The staff have no "bad apples" and never have. (But still don't have enough trans members.)

Is he saying that he subscribes to Disney+ to watch the MCU stuff but then pirates the other Disney content to watch? I think Bob Iger is probably okay with this.

User Banned (1 Month): inflammatory commentary

Not all of us agree with this or voted for him. I'm not about to jeopardize my job and my family for this asshole, at this time. Unfortunately, I don't think peaceful protesting is going to do much. If it comes down to the worse possible scenario , I will be as ready as I can be. I hope it doesn't, but if it does, I'm not gonna be helping my countries' current administration.

What Americans continue not to grasp is that WAR WITH CANADA is going to directly impact your lives FOREVER. Your government is actively making enemies with people who live next door, work in your country, are your friends and family. You'll never know a moment of peace again. You'll need to be wary of retaliatory attacks, sabotage, destruction of infrastructure, on your doorstep, for the rest of your life.

It's also total fucking HORSESHIT to sit there and go "i can't risk my job and faaaamily" as if Canadians don't fucking have them. I have 3 fucking kids. I've barely been able to complete a project for WEEKS because of the existential dread I have to endure on a daily basis, thinking about some fucking nazi piece of shit deciding to invade my country and destroy my life, while Americans like you sit there and continue to be ignorant, continue to claim its not your fault or you don't support it. It doesn't fucking matter. Once the time comes for you to "not help" your administration its going to be far too late.
