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

The only thing I can think of is the plan is this to cause mass chaos for a short term, billionaires swoop in, things are returned to relative normal and everyone is so grateful they don't notice the rug has been pulled out from under them.

That sounds too smart for Trump though so.

 

What's the part of this that sounds smart?

There has to be some idiot in his administration that truly believes it's possible to bring manufacturing to America and that this is a way to do it, and said person has Trump's ear.

No duh, it's his top advisor, this guy:

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Why is all of the reporting calling these reciprocal tariffs?

Because the media is complicit

are they the fake news media or not?! Trump says they lie, Era says they lie, who do I believe?!

[benji]

I love how they can't believe that Trump actually believes his stupid ideas and so have to invent some elaborate "billionaire" conspiracy in which the billionaires make themselves poorer in order to snap up worthless assets.

[Boredfrom]

Yup, don't remember exactly what the context was, but in the Khalil thread somebody spent like 5 minutes googling and was able to debunk a bunch of regurgitated lies the Trump admin gave which had been printed without contest from multiple reputable outlets like the Guardian or NYT. They just didn't bother to check if it was true or not so they went with what the narrative was.

Although you could argue that's because of anti-Palestinian bias, so perhaps they knew it was wrong or misleading and did it anyway.

What lies, my dear? 

I don’t doubt there is a lot of misinformation about that dude… but you guys contribute to it when you dismiss his involvement in certain action organizations. Then again, you guys keep name dropping the term Zionist, or even combining it with Nazis, so maybe you think those organizations have normal rhetoric.

(Yeah, the dude shouldn’t be deported or in prison, but don’t whitewash or make a martyr out of him).

[Boredfrom]

Sorry for my slow response, at work. They believe it's going to bring back manufacturing and make America great again. Basically just believe what OANN and Trump tells them. No questions asked. Sheep lead to their slaughter.

This still fells like   .

Not because I don’t believe there are Trumptards this dumb, but because he still generally vague about it. He has complained about “those coworkers of mine  ” various times and low income people will not celebrate tariffs unless they don’t know anything, even the basic shit. More believable if he said “they are claiming they can take the economic pain If they get the car factory running again” than “those dumbfucks are mocking me”  

Unless he works for a GOP related organization.

[Boredfrom]

Maybe because I think people will have some sort of self respect to try for search for another job than being bullied by some redneck Trumptards dumb enough to celebrate tariffs. Feels not even the most hardcore Trumpfan will outright celebrate this unless he is shitposting online (and is not living in USA).

Do these guys have seen some Reggaeton stars?  

Sad that yall needed minstrelsy from K-Pop for it to click that's it's been problematic as hell for a long time now.

And I want to be clear, this is not me saying Cancel K-Pop, or encouraging people to harass these young performers. But it is totally OK, and even necessary, to critique an art you enjoy.

So you are admitting that Kpop is not the only one “guilty” about this? Or is only a problem because K-pop is hot over other musical artists doing minstrel esque shows?

I agree that this kind of stuff deserves criticism, but I feel most of ERA doesn’t really care about it unless they can complain about yts or people “passing” white. You guys are also, sometimes, very selective of what “minstrel” stuff from other countries get called out.

To a point. If only because it would be a little cringe to see a Mexican themed K-pop party with everyone wearing sombreros, some mustaches and people speaking broken Spanish.

I also have mentioned I found offensive the stereotype of a blonde fat white swindler english speaker with a comb stealing from PoC.

I get the idea of waiting to be recognized for more than a stereotype:

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

the second video is the best one. 

It's not a wrong when that's how rappers really do act

[benji]

I get the idea of waiting to be recognized for more than a stereotype:  

I think it's amusing because these are people who downplay all kinds of immoral acts as long as the person claims good intent. To pick an extreme example, we have Nepenthe's regular calls for mass murder and destruction because it will allow us to start from scratch. But then when someone has good intent, this party isn't about mocking Black culture they're trying to respect it while mocking a specific not "Black" culture but they're ignorant and doing it poorly, it's now the highest crime imaginable. (I refuse to grant "rap culture" as "Black culture" because that's fucking racist. Calling it a "minstrel" show is beyond racist, Era, as always, hates Black people.) And furthermore it's an existential crime against all of Black people because it's "part of a pattern" and people are "downplaying" it. And it simply shouldn't even be thought of rather than used as a moment to teach about other cultures so they understand the culture they're trying to respect better.

But this itself is "racist" because many Asian cultures love outsiders enjoying/attempting their culture and that's a sign of respect. Which makes this doubly respectful rather than a hateful act. They're essentially declaring something good that should be supported as a heinous crime. And that's incredibly, to use one of their favorite terms, toxic. The cruelty is the point.

[benji]

To put it another way, what they're mocking is a cultural stereotype. But to instantly take offense and claim it's a "Black stereotype" and therefore is mocking all Black people is something the Era posters are inserting that they apparently believe. That all Black people are the same as gross and stupid rappers who should be mocked for this stuff. (And have been, endlessly, by plenty of Black people. *insert a bunch of Chappelle oops transphobic Key and Peele clips here*)

[benji]

(And have been, endlessly, by plenty of Black people. *insert a bunch of Chappelle oops transphobic Key and Peele clips here*)

"That's different. Groups are allowed to criticize within the group, outsiders are not allowed to criticize anyone inside the group."

Well, okay, I'm glad I never have to hear you talk about chuds or Nazis ever again.

"That's different. Race is not some made up thing like hate or sex."

Because TransEra doesn’t care about FNAF enough.

[Boredfrom]

Then again, while the FNAF dude is just donating money to Trump because his church tell him that is perfectly fine to ignore the moral failings of Trump to save babies and America from the devil, he doesn’t seem to care about spouting his ideology at social media (that I know) so is more easy to “ignore” than Rowling or Musk.

Still hypocritical given that Rowling will never donate to Trump, an action that did more tangible damage than whenever unspecified donation to charities considered TERF by TransTwitter.

Tone policing marginalized people speaking out against their oppression.  

But we knew y'all yt libs weren't going to return all the land and wealth you stole and give full autonomy to the Global South. It's literally not in your pale blood to care about people. Not like the dignified community that happens in Bahia.

If yt libs care about people then why don't they do whatever I ask including reconstructing all of human civilization?

They literally refuse to do just one thing that marginalized people are asking them to do and yet I'm the bad guy? I'm the unreasonable one?

User Banned (1 Week): Inappropriate Homophobic Joke

Spider-Man: No Home O

[Potato]

I like Nintendo stuff, but I'm not enough of a Nintendrone to stomach what I saw today.

At least there's a new DK game. Donkey Kong is cool.

I mean, don't buy it then? 

Nintendo makes Nintendo games. You either like them or you don't. I do, and my family does, so I'll buy it (in fact, I already have).

This generation has been a complete cluster fuck so I hope Nintendo saves it.

But Nintendo itself is perpetuating some of the worst practices of this generation. Specially regarding cross generation and upgrades. I like their games but is also fair to criticize their business practices and unwillingness to adapt… and when they adapt they do in a insane anti consumer way.

Sure, but you always have the option of not buying the upgrade. I'm not going to buy any of the upgrades because it's stupid to do so. It's just paid DLC by another name. I generally don't buy that shit either.
