SNP cult? Fuck off.

SNP and scots indie was one of the formative battlegrounds of this genre of retard wars

One of the spaces that is 'left' but not actually left, being a nationalist concern of a historically reactionary party

They invented Project Fear, and quite neatly, the online vanguard was led by a videogames journalist

That ought to bring the women back to the MCU. A naked chick painted silver.

so this might be correct but I note the article says

Of course, it’s still unknown who could be playing this version of the Silver Surfer, nor has there been any official confirmation from Marvel Studios that they’ll be portrayed by a woman. But insider Jeff Sneider claims as much while discussing the alleged cast members in talks for Fantastic Four.

“And yes,” Sneider reports, “you can expect to see a female Silver Surfer.”

"a" female silver surfer

so it's possible they invented like, a whole squad of silver surfers and at least one of them is female, as a compromise, kind of like the multiverse spider man stuff with pregnant black lesbian spider man

holy fuck. Also the lesbian in me was interested in Stellar Blade for bad reasons but fuck not anymore. fuck that shit.

Bruh…that’s not the lesbian in you, it’s the man in you

I have no idea why Planetsmasher even brought up Shift Up, the article was about a completely different studio in a different country working on a different game. No sources or evidence, either. I guess they have to be sexist and misogynist because their games feature tons of fanservice - shocking, a studio started by one of Korea's most famous cheesecake artists (Hyung Tae Kim), his cosplayer and cheesecake artist wife (KKUEM), and another famous cheesecake artist (Hyulla) has lots of fanservice in their games!

It's got nothing to do with left or right really, at the core of it, it's a deep sickness of the soul brought on by too much internet. The description of the trans nutters could be applied equally devastatingly to the America First weirdos, or the SNP cult, or the Corbyn cranks, or Farage's wankers, etc etc. And that isn't a cop out, it's true, these behaviours emerge when a critical mass of internet crankery is reached

We're unlucky in that our hobby is the sphere from which all of this has emerged, because games are the primordial soup of internet culture, the gamers being the people who were permanently online in the beginning and forevermore.

A lot of people want to attribute this kind of online mental illness to one side of the political divide, but the fact is these types of extremely alienated social outcasts will gravitate towards whichever group is more willing to indulge and enable them. They don't actually care about politics or principles, they're just broken people who want somebody to tell them that bunkering down in a filthy one bedroom apartment and jerking off to fetish porn all day is a valid lifestyle. That's why the more disagreeable ones tend to flip flop from one side to other, they'll inevitably piss off too many people in the lefty group by acting like an asshole so they'll flounce to the alt righters and then the cycle repeats.

What is QAnon?

[Besticus Maximus]

I think you gotta focus in on the culty, quasi religious elements. How they evangelise, how they recruit, what the epistemology of their ideology, how they form a canon, the shifting taboos. All that shit is fascinating and exists both in the trans hatcheries and the qanon temples

ROFL they banned that person? At the time there were multiple people saying straight up Nazi shit about Jews and had not been banned. They were probably only banned because they were called out.

Meanwhile in a Texas thread someone is eager to leave, checks notes, Austin because it's a conservative hellhole filled with Nazis...outside of pockets of New England I don't think you get more liberal than Austin. It's like 80% D now. Like I get it isn't perfect but the performing a superlative ceiling on any quality you don't like makes language meaningless. Genocide this, fascist this. Taking away the meaning of those words only favors bad actors.

They still have the dude banned "duration pending". The only explanation for banning him is a mod is antisemitic. He was just explaining why some Jews made bad comparisons due to real shit being said, not even expressing it as his opinion. Gee, why might a mod ban him? What reason could it be?

I'm tired of always have to be understanding and always have to be emphatic and always have to give leeway to right wing and fascistic politicians. I'm tired that we always have to vote for what makes the market and capitalist happy in the hope that they give a crumb of it back to the people, I'm tired of everything being dictated by the fucking market I'm tired that my value as a human being is tied to how much profit I can make to someone else otherwise I deserve to die and starve

First the ai shit now this I'm tired of living in this hellhole of a world

Its only under capitalism the idea that all life has some value exists, you moron.
If you weren't pulling your weight for the pre-currency tribe, they'd just fucking abandon you in the middle of the desert / forest / ice floes (delete as applicable for region) and hope their next offspring wasn't so fucking useless.

Right, they interpret any feedback on moderation as ad hominem, which is a sign of having too much ego to be a moderator. Most people don't know who the mods are.  Humility is a required trait for good moderation, like empathy for nursing.

I think the inherent idleness and laziness is particular to the extreme left though because so many of these idiots misinterpret communism in a way that allows them to think they will be sitting on their fat lazy arses doing nothing all day while all the other people will be labouring towards feeding, clothing, housing and providing Internet and videogames for them.

[ClothedMac]

Just because we say "From the River to the Sea Palestine Will be Free" doesn't mean we're cheering for the genocide of ALL the Jews in Israel, okay?

by the way Jews are white if you forgot.

When I said, "lol Jews should be killed," I didn't mean you. Yet, you got offended.  A hit dog doth holler much?

The term "neoliberal" does not have the same meaning today that it did 50-60 years ago. It's no longer a framework that favors deregulation, today it actually strongly advocates for market regulation by governments and strong gov't institutions. Milei is not a neolib, lol. It is preposterous to think that.

I feel like it will be a bit problematic if you have a white dude going around killing a non-white mythology, especially in today's age. That isn't to say that the safe way would be just to choose another European mythology. I just think SSM has to be careful in what they do next

if they go outside Europe, the only way i see it not being an issue is if do something like have Atreus team up with a Native god or goddess of that particular mythology in rebellion against the ruling Gods or something like that

see you think this is a win because you knew this was already a thing and I did not, however I posit that demonstrating advanced knowledge of comic books constitutes a much greater personal failing

UK museum declares Roman emperor a trans woman – The Telegraph

The North Hertfordshire Museum in Hitchin, England, has announced that the Roman emperor Elagabalus, who ruled from AD 218 until his assassination at the age of 18 in 222, was transgender, The Telegraph reported on Monday.

Commenting on the subject, Keith Hoskins, a Liberal Democrat councilor and executive member for arts at North Herts Council, told the paper that “Elagabalus most definitely preferred the she pronoun, and as such this is something we reflect when discussing her in contemporary times.”

At the same time, some historians have expressed doubts about the credibility of Cassius Dio’s claims, as he served the emperor Severus Alexander, who succeeded Elagabalus.

As an example, the outlet cited the opinion of Andrew Wallace-Hadrill, professor of classics at Cambridge, who said that the Romans “used accusations of sexual behaviour ‘as a woman’ as one of the worst insults against men.” He also noted that since Elagabalus was of Syrian origin and not a Roman, “there’s racial prejudice going on there too.”

Little evidence of Elagabalus’ reign has been preserved aside from the works of Cassius, although the chronicler himself admitted that he spent most of the relevant period outside of Rome and had to rely on second-hand information.

so the primary source who wrote anything about this guy had every motivation in the world to shit all over him, downplay any positive qualities and make him look terrible in comparison to the new emperor

I can see it now, in a few hundred years, "Trump was trans because everyone described him as having small hands and was 'orange,' a color we in the enlightened future associate with transness"

"He forced leading members of Rome's government to participate in religious rites celebrating this deity, presiding over them in person. He married four women, including a Vestal Virgin, in addition to lavishing favours on male courtiers thought to have been his lovers. He was also reported to have prostituted himself"

"Elagabalus developed a reputation among his contemporaries for extreme eccentricity, decadence, zealotry and sexual promiscuity. This tradition has persisted; among writers of the early modern age he endured one of the worst reputations among Roman emperors. Edward Gibbon, notably, wrote that Elagabalus "abandoned himself to the grossest pleasures with ungoverned fury"."

"Elagabalus was not a tyrant, but he was an incompetent, probably the least able emperor Rome had ever had."

Sounds like trans folk to me. You sure this isn't an insult to the movement?
