This thread is interesting.
I might be misremembering but wasn't any mention of overacting from majors in loki, or saying that kang getting beat by ants lame as fuck met with certain accusations?
I guess now that disney sent majors to his home planet, disney knows what theyre doing.
unrelated, I remember on old bore I predicted that kang would be defeated by a woman or a black character or both, given their trend of minority characters having to be defeated by other minorities or due to their own plans, like how strange was not allowed to beat wanda, she had to destroy herself
are ants black characters?
regardless, while an inaccurate prediction I think it's in theme with the general concept, a white male cannot be allowed to represent the ultimate triumph over a villain that has any minority qualities

I think contributions like this are harmful to everybody involved. They're too common and get almost no pushback, but they should. It's such a stupid thing to say.
Although at least for my own sanity, I think the deterioration in trans support over the past 10 years is also due to the fact it is being taken seriously and is mainstream, which I don't think it was before in modern history, correct me if I'm wrong. I look at the negativity as being people who had never even thought about this stuff before going 'what the fuck' and eventually, it will die down and wider acceptance will come.
But right now it's all very intertwined with things that are happening to everyone so it gets messy and complicated.

Stuff like this is really odd given the far lefts insistence on acceptance of all types of people, genders, and sexuality. Shouldn’t the desire to only be with biological women be something that’s respected instead of mocked?

Ah a "fuck your family" thread.
Quote:I tend not to post my personal shit on here but I dunno how to feel right now. Cautiously optimistic I guess? Foolishly optimistic? I just gotta get it out there cause it's making me feel so weird.
Quick context:
My husband and I have been together since 2012. We got engaged in late 2022 for a Friday, October 13th 2023 small wedding ceremony: just the courthouse with immediate family, then a dinner at a local restaurant across the street. My brother has known my husband for most of that time and has never once indicated, despite being more and more religious once he moved to North Carolina, that it was a problem for him. He was the first person besides my parents that I came out to back in 2012, and he was so supportive.
Anyway:
My birthday is on the 27th of July, and my brother's is on the 31st. If we're not celebrating together, we usually call each other. So on my birthday last year, he called and told me to expect "something" in the mail and to give him a call when I got it. I was of course excited! I got a handwritten letter a couple weeks later, right before work. I read it after getting ready, and my whole world seemed to crumble. "I love you, but I can't celebrate with you on your big day." I still have that letter, and it was two pages of cowardly bullshit about how gay relationships are against Biblical texts. He had been talking about the wedding for six months at this point, and it was closing in on three months to the event itself. My husband was fucking pissed.
I called my parents, furious and deeply upset, and when they heard they were similarly shocked and horrified. They asked him if he was serious and he said he was, so my parents told him to talk to me and they told me to not hold back. So I didn't. I told him that it felt like my whole self-confidence about being openly gay was built on a lie, that I felt betrayed and hurt. He gave some nonsense about "thinking about eternity" and I told him that until he can figure his shit out, lose my number. I'll be cordial at any family event that we both have to attend, but nothing else. I told him that when people asked where he was at the wedding, I would be honest. That was almost a year ago. I told my parents I wouldn't make them choose between us, but I was icing him out until he got his head out of his ass. They said okay and they understood.
So the 27th rolled by a couple days ago (wahoo 32 lol), and my brother texted me saying he wanted to talk. I was busy with my friends doing Magic The Gathering and board games, so I told him the next day would be best. He said okay, then I didn't hear from him yesterday. Today, he texted again. I told him I'm at work, give me half an hour, he said okay. So here I am, twiddling my thumbs at work. I'm hoping so badly that he figured out how much of an asshole he is. Icing out my brother didn't feel good, even if I know it was the right thing to do. I knew he was religious, but I never thought it would go so far as to blow up our relationship like this. I don't want to hear any more sanctimonious bullshit. If I do, I'm just gonna hang up and continue like normal. My mom's 60th birthday is in December and it'll be my parents, my husband and I, and my brother and his gf. Cynical part of me is thinking he wants to mend fences to keep mom's birthday from being awkward, cause he knows I will not give him the time of day on that vacation. I wonder if his new gf even knows what happened. My mom says the gf knows all about me and thinks I'm the bee's knees, so maybe I'm hoping that she got through to him.
And once he's done with me, he has to make things right with my husband, too. Good luck with that, he's still infuriated by it.
I dunno, man. This last 20 minutes of work is brutal.
His brother is definitely a piece of shit and eerily similar to my two older brothers but if he calls and offers a truce why would you still ice him out

Welp, got off the phone with him. Short, seven minute conversation where things basically stayed neutral. He just wanted to call and say happy birthday and he loved me and my husband, despite him and us "not talking much lately". Basically just tried to make small talk and ignore the elephant in the room, and I wasn't going to be the one to initiate. I got Deadpool in and hour and a half, dawg, I don't wanna be in a shitty mood.
So in essence, I guess nothing has changed. Until he admits he was wrong,

That's not how you "finish the drive safely" you fucking idiot, that's increasing the risk. A 20 minute nap in the car would have been the best option. But if course you knew that because you, magically, know everything and once had a career as a sleep therapist or something, I'm sure...

Between that thread and the constant “but I thought superhero films were dying” failed attempts at petty jokes in this weeks box office thread, they are still apparently having issues grasping the fact the MCU in on shaky ground. Deadpool with Hugh returning hasn’t changed this fact. Only Cap 4 in February can do that.
Like this is some true cope
Quote:That's what we're saying. Despite this movie being an MCU production there are plenty of people who say it won't count and therefore the movie after will the "real test"
But basically the goalposts will always keep moving for these people. Cap 4 can be a success and they'll just find another angle. They always do
Did Antman 3 and The Marvels suddenly not happen? Thor Love and Thunder went so far into goofy territory that Hemsworth basically has said he’s done unless the character can start swinging back the other direction. People were iffy at best on She-Hulk. No Way Home is the one true bright spot before Deadpool 3 opened.

Nah he's probably just one of those religious mentally ill people who think they can "fix" their gay family member if they proselytise hard enough. Or maybe it's not about fixing and they just want to feel superior, who knows with those freaks.

Quote:The story behind how I chose the S/N is that I was having difficulty finding a name and decided to take a break by surfing the web for a while. I saw an ad for sweaters/hoodies with faux college names and seals. You could order any college name you wanted but the ad featured a hoodie that said "Big State University" over the seal. At the same time the talking head on my tv was discussing MAGAts and their "deep state" paranoia. I was about to choose "FugueStateUniversity" but after seeing that changed my mind to "DeepStateUniversity". It seemed like a good joke and I didn't think it would be so triggering to someone like you. It's kind of ironic that you latched onto one thing and thought it was all you needed to know yet you call me the conspiracy theorist. I don't know what triggered you but if you continue with the personal attacks I'm gonna have a conversation with the mod team. Get a life

Quote:So what little time I've had to game recently I've been spending in FFXIV. Something that I noticed is that a lot of people like to name their character Japanese (sounding) names.
Now being surrounded by Japanese people, I was curious about these names since I am not Japanese but I know enough that the names sounded a little "off". I'm unsure how to put it but the best way I can is that some of these are some Bobertson Shmelson-ass names. Essentially, names that a native speaker probably wouldn't use because they're not even weird in a cool fantasy sounding sense, they're just flat out weird.
I asked three Japanese native speakers their opinions on the names:
One said it was weird and laughed at some of the names
One was irritated and felt it was disrespectful and ignorant
One didn't really get the whole concept of naming a video game character
Minuscule sample size but some spread of opinions.
What's era's thoughts on these fake Japanese/Japanese sounding names?
I guess for me, if people started using names that are supposed to evoke my culture and sounded my culture-esque (?), I would be upset because to me it would mean they like my culture enough on a surface level to try to cop a name that evokes it to a person unfamiliar with it, but they don't care enough to come up with a name that makes sense. Luckily I don't have to deal with that.

to my point, I should've phrased it more like, you are forced to choose between a cisgirl with a wizard-imposed dick, or a transgirl with a dick
because almost a bigger turnoff than the dick is the mental illness and assured baggage
cisgirl with a wizard dick because that means there's wizards in the world and I can become a dragon.
