Why are the progressives intent on destroying the advancement and consolidation of knowledge?

^What's amazing regarding the NYT anecdote is that these are exactly the kind of clowns who'd snap their fingers in disapproval of chick-fila and now they're pretending that no one would ever do that. Even more amazing that grown ass journalists can't be bothered to actually do any journalism

One thing I've found really remarkable over the last, say, decade is how many journalists spend all day on Twitter making strongly declarative wrong statements about something, never backing down and it just seeming like it never happened. All for clout with other Twitter "leftists" who do the same. I don't even mean "reactions" like this, they're often making "clear" predictions they're always wrong about. Whether it was that guy who was one of Vox's top people saying for years that Trump was going to arrest him or how many declared Johnny Depp's case meant that there would be a wave of incels suing women for billions of dollars. Everything they tweeted during COVID, maybe the pinnacle being the NYT's lead COVID reporter posting false medical statements and declaring it "racist" to question all sorts of things that were often obviously false. There's really too many examples. Michael Hobbes and Ben Collins constantly posting outright lies and false statements even as they're touted as "disinformation fighters" and so on. Taylor Lorenz is really harmless compared to a lot of this. (You can see the same thing in things like games journalism or media journalism but that's even more lower stakes.)

Yet none of them ever seem to suffer any consequences other than when the companies they work for go bankrupt. Or they go insane and flee Twitter like Ben Collins.

Then it's all the rest of our fault that journalists are some of the least trusted people.

Dunno if you guys can access this, but in some of Jon Ronsons (guy who did the TED talk on 'cancel culture is bad, actually) promos for his new radio show / podcast about Culture Warzzz he talked about having lunch with Matt & Trey from South Park and why they don't use social media, and they basically said if you have a respected journalist on MSNBC or whatever with their own show (they gave an example but cant remember who it was) theres a whole team of researchers and fact checkers and editors and shit and a bunch of money from the network all working together to create that trustworthy and informed brand, but the second you drop a retarded take on twitter all of that goes out the window and youre just another dumbfuck spouting off on the internet

Like the man said, are we to believe this is JUST about dancing? And not white supremacy?

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

White women are notorious for culturally appropriating black culture. And the number one cause of black deaths by lying to police officers with their white tears.

Sweet baby inc. a narrative sensitivity consulting firm, that worked on games like Spiderman 2, Alan Wake 2, God of War Ragnarok, Suicide Squad is now getting really upset that people don't like their work

I don't really know if the storytelling in those games can be blamed on Sweet Baby inc. or if it's just the devs themselves, but the idea of "sensitiviy readers" has always felt a bit weird in a creative medium. Not everything should get sanded off to be the most politically correct possible.

Despite learning about sweet baby (really? that’s the name?) just now, looking at their games list, somehow I’ve already been boycotting them.

Having to go through all this PC bureaucracy to make a film or game goes a long way to explain why everything sux now

Sensitivity consultants are a cancer on the creative industries. Art should challenge people, good or bad.

In Barbie, nominated for eight Academy Awards, we see a quick mention that ties the climate crisis to consumerism. Teenage Sasha (Ariana Greenblatt) lays into Barbie (Margot Robbie): “You set the feminist movement back fifty years, you destroyed girls' innate sense of worth, and you're killing the planet with your glorification of rampant consumerism.” Though the words “climate change” aren't spoken, the tie between “rampant consumerism” and “killing the planet” evokes the climate crisis and connects climate change to one of its root systemic causes. And by juxtaposing feminism and climate concerns (“sexualized capitalism!”), the film makes the intersectional argument that it's all connected, all the same bad guy.

 

Great test folks!!!

They talk about radicalization. Trolls, alt-right, bigots, mysoginists and all that.

But I'm launching an entirely new political movement that supports and advocates for detonating a thermonuclear bomb in the UN HQ to wipe out the climate lobby and hunt down the remaining members of the climate cult with AI killer drones. The three letter combination ESG will be banned and a "3 strike you're out" principle using drone strikes on violators will ensure that it does.

And when the smoldering corpses line the streets while the stench of burned flesh fills the air and they ask me crying like dogs: "Sir, was it worth it?" I will look at Dead or Alive 7 jiggling on my Switch 2 and say: "Hell Yes."

The war against Sweet Baby Inc has begun and like always the gamers are winning

Considering how American Psycho satirizes masculinity I'd say it's not a stretch to call it feminist

Amazing how both the chuds AND the wokies can't help but take American Psycho at face value.

Shows how they're both fucking retarded.

Lots of peeps take Fight Club as an endorsement of Tyler Durden's philosophy. The book is significantly more clear: unreliable narrator is clinically insane.
