Ok, let me get this straight. This guy has read the Harry Potter books so many times he has an encyclopaedic knowledge of them and their problematic contents and ingrained HATE, but didn't ever criticise them or condemn the author UNTIL she started to express those EXACT SAME HATEFUL THEMES on Twitter? 

The guy I quoted/bolded above said about the same thing. The books are full of fascist genocidal garbage that inform her current campaign of blood but it's not your fault for liking them, she ruined everything with her unforgivable betrayal by disagreeing with men who want something from women.

"I was a huge fan of Mein Kampf, but I can't get over what the author did decade and a half later. Really tarnished a classic work of art that was so influential to me."

Let’s defend games never going to sell:

Stupid and arrogant mentality to have.

You might not like it as a consumer, but it's neither stupid nor arrogant.

Well, as a consumer, is arrogant and greedy. Probably one of its worst practices. Have fun paying 80 dollars during this recession.

It's definitely interesting how Harry Potter, the best selling book series of all time that has existed since 1997, won so many many many many awards, broke so many many many records, has been studied extensively, still studied today, blah blah blah... was filled with so much hateful genocidal, bigoted shit and every academic, every smart person, every critic in the world somehow missed it.... 

But in the 2020's though, these so called problematic are just so evident.

It's almost like... its just petty salty garbage from pissed off douchebags.

You have to remember that all of these people were Republican voting chuds up until they realised in 2021 that they were always a woman including biologically even though they have a penis and XY chromosomes. 

They probably agreed with all the bigoted, hateful, racist, sexist, transphobic trash that's in those books.

My apologies if you're wanting to buy a Switch but Nintendo Era flipping out over this makes me love tariffs now. I'm sure when the tariff stuff affects me I'll sing a different tune but until then......

Back when I did pharmacy work during the pandemic, it fucking sucked when they were sending the bottles in bulk packages of ten vaccines, because if we got less than ten willing patients that day then we were wasting entire vials, and knowing that the Global South was getting ravaged at the time just sent me.

And on top of that I still had to convince people to get it; pissed off my pharmacists a few times talking on the phone just trying to assuage people that it was safe.

Banned 2 month: Dismissing concerns of those fearful of the government.  

She laments the Global South not getting Government Mandated Injections but doesn't care about her Deep South brethren that don't want Uncle Sam toxins.  It's called empathy.

What an idiot

Wasp, hornet, honey bee.  They are all just black and yellow bugs for her to fuck.  Fetishization at it's worst.

If Hornets weren't meant for fucking, they wouldn't have put "whore" in their name.

The Canada thread is a great read as well https://www.resetera.com/threads/nintendo-delays-switch-2-pre-orders-in-canada.1158294/

Sorry, if I come across extra spicy, I haven't been sleeping well. it's the damndest thing. I keep having nightmares about american bombs, american drones and american tanks being deployed against my country. Now I can't even distract myself with Mario Kart World.

[Nintex]

Don't forget about the forced labor camps

[killamajig]

It's kind of sad seeing all the "Fuck America" posts. I didn't vote for this moron, I just want things to go back to normal.

Sorry, but I have absolutely zero sympathy lol. As much as you didn't vote for him, it's still an American problem.

Feels like it may be Canada's problem now too. It sucks for bad things to happen you have no control over.

One could argue americans had more control over the situation than the 0% control Canadians had in determining this situation, but at this point...

You know it may actually be even more frustrating when you do everything you can reasonably do to avoid this and it literally does not matter at all. Of course when you express that you won't get an ounce of empathy.

That's not what you expressed with that first post, and that's not why you didn't get your "ounce of empathy". Nice try though!

If I could change what I wrote I would.

The way you guys are treating each other is miserable.

I try to keep that in mind when I respond, because I don't want to sound that way, it's pretty shitty.

I'd have an easier time believing that if you hadn't just tried to spin your post and the reaction it got into something entirely different :/

The way you guys are treating each other is miserable.

It's incredibly frustrating to have an American enter a thread about US tariffs derailing Canadian pre-orders just to make a sad face about all the anger being directed at their country

I genuinely do not care if you believe me or not, I understand why people reacted that way. I did not reply aggressively a single time.

As soon as the signal goes out, Era members run in to dog pile anyone that doesn't conform to whatever the current feeling is today. 

I love when Era members surprised when a complex subject arises, and they can't find any nuance in the discussion. 

"Things aren't black and white." says Era member.
"Yes they are!" is the ResetEra response.

Me:  

[Bootsthecat]

For such a heavily moderated community, they sure do hate each other.

Also, feels like non-americans have made it to top 3 in oppression Olympics. Oh, mr American...so you're black, suicidal, trans, and neurodivergent? Fuck you Mr privilege, I live in Manitoba, take that!

[killamajig]

White Canadians can now feel like victims. In the Era mindset that's a good outcome.


When you're a White person, any oppression is good oppression.

Console war

Regular war

Edit:

As American to other Americans. Shut the fuck up when talking down to other people in the rest of the world. You might not have voted for or supported Trump, I know I didn't but it don't fucking matter. He's running the country and trying to destroying the world order even as he runs the US into the ground to do so.

I understand that and all, but let's be honest: There are a lot of people in this thread from nations that benefited from colonialism and the slave trade looking at folk whose ancestors were either in North America prior to European invasion, or forcibly taken into this country as slaves, and going "shut up and take your medicine." It's a bit wild if you ask me.

There's a real oppressionolympics going on. Only one nation can win!

I'm starting to think designing a discussion forum around elevating or denigrating people based on irrelevant demographic characteristics while making the most hostile and dishonest members into community paragons may not work out to ensure threads have productive discussion.

But really this whole Canada situation reminds of the time Pikachu said "pika! pika-pi! pika-pika-pika! pika-CHU!" Still true to this day, brother.

[DavidCroquet]

Actually, his totally valid sex work doesn't even matter, he's just part of the larger problem:

Whatever happened to "more coming"? We just skipped to final thoughts?

[DavidCroquet]

I don't wish to undermine my point, but this really does remind me somewhat of the first Pokemon movie plot, without consideration for the life they would create, they've for lack of a better term "played god" and also, is there not risk of new diseases that modern mammals aren't ready coming as a result of something like this? Biology is a very fragile and complex thing, in current times, I don't much relish such a possibility.

Ah, the first great treatise on hubris, the sins of the father, man’s propensity to play God, and his inevitable downfall when he does so, Pokémon: The First Movie.

I know that her work meant a lot to some of you growing up. But you are adults now.

There has never been any implementation of communism. There has been preparations for implementing communism, but no country has ever reached communism. State capitalism is what is implemented with the intention (not always the actual intention) to move over to communism and hand over the means of production to the people.

It's funny how Trump is doing the things they're calling for. Putting the interests of the workers ahead of the investors and throwing wall street under the bus.

But when that means no more Japanese toys manufactured in Vietnamese sweatshops they lose their shit.

The ruling party in my government literally wants me to die several times over, and the minority party says my issues are why they lost the election



But no I'm sorry I was born here I guess I'm as responsible for everything that's happening to the world as a MAGA voter

I'm the furthest thing from a religious person, but god damn, the evidence that this orange fuck is the Antichrist is compelling

Well aside from the fact that he's old, fat, and completely lacking in charm and charisma... Sure he's just like the depictions of the antichrist

Maybe cutie patootie JD Vance is the antichrist waiting in the wings

And to this day the worst thing Joanne has said is that women are women…my word what a time to be alive

Um she also thinks sending male rapists to a women's prison is wrong. Clearly she is a demon living in a mold castle

I realized I was acting like a poor bitch as I kicked off my €199 Hilfiger shoes, took off my €50 Hilfiger shirt, loosened my €99 Hilfiger belt and got into my €3500 bed after brushing my teeth with a €200 AI tooth brush to check my Nvidia stock with a €1500 phone.

Still I make responsible financial decisions I'm gonna sell off some old shit I'll never play again to free up some space.

I'm in the business of cutting labour costs with AI and automation now and business is booming.

Might be in a escalating trade war with China and the EU (both of which are the equivalent of about 37% of the world economy) but Vietnam, Kenya and Cambodia are doing great deals

It's fun to see how many posters are unabashedly diving into "shithole countries" talking points. 

"Wow, great job Trump, fucko shitstain global south trashheaps are trying to make deals...doesn't he understand that relationships with wealthy, white, western countries are the real metric of success!?"
