I never saw this before, Castro was a Zionist:

Over the course of this first, five-hour discussion, Castro repeatedly returned to his excoriation of anti-Semitism. He criticized Ahmadinejad for denying the Holocaust and explained why the Iranian government would better serve the cause of peace by acknowledging the "unique" history of anti-Semitism and trying to understand why Israelis fear for their existence.

...

"This went on for maybe two thousand years," he said. "I don't think anyone has been slandered more than the Jews. I would say much more than the Muslims. They have been slandered much more than the Muslims because they are blamed and slandered for everything. No one blames the Muslims for anything." The Iranian government should understand that the Jews "were expelled from their land, persecuted and mistreated all over the world, as the ones who killed God. In my judgment here's what happened to them: Reverse selection. What's reverse selection? Over 2,000 years they were subjected to terrible persecution and then to the pogroms. One might have assumed that they would have disappeared; I think their culture and religion kept them together as a nation." He continued: "The Jews have lived an existence that is much harder than ours. There is nothing that compares to the Holocaust."

...

I was surprised to hear Castro express such doubts about his own behavior in the missile crisis - and I was, I admit, also surprised to hear him express such sympathy for Jews, and for Israel's right to exist (which he endorsed unequivocally).

Intersectionality is such a tough cookie to crack.

The media stopped covering Greta when it became obvious that she was being used by a bunch of evil fuckers and her causes just don't pass the pub test.

The gimmick of a random child yelling about trees or whatever she was coached to repeat doesn’t play when she’s an adult. She’s still a creepy troll but in that Danny Bonaduce on VH1 during the 2000s kind of way.

wtf are “pick me trans women”

"Pick mes" are girls/women who will do anything to please men and live entirely for the approval of men. People who have stockholm syndrome with their oppressors and are willing to help them carry out genocide in hopes it will get approval from them.

Did they meet with Castro or Donald Trump?

he showed us a series of recent photographs taken of him, one of which portrayed him with a fierce expression. "This was how my face looked when I was angry with Khruschev,"

Well, I didn't know what a Jew was. I knew of a bird that was a called a 'Jew,' and so for me the Jews were those birds.  These birds had big noses. I don't even know why they were called that.

"Men think they can control themselves but Obama could overreact and a gradual escalation could become a nuclear war."

"After I've seen what I've seen, and knowing what I know now, it wasn't worth it all."

I understand his family is experiencing pain and people want to be respectful of that, but how about we also respect the victims of the systematic harassment campaign he was a supporter of. Just because someone passes away doesn't erase half their history. You have to consider their entire life.

Ironically, in that "coming out" video Wu (presumably lying) shares the fact that they're losing their ability to speak and that's why they have to "step back" from politics.

wu says it's due to yet another failure of genetic lottery but it's probably due to some kind of voice feminization surgery having repercussions down the line

[DocWager]

Well, when you manipulate your own voice to sound like someone else, you could strain your vocal cords. It happens to voice actors all the time.

[Besticus Maximus]

The whole voice acting thing is one of the weirdest most misogynistic parts of it all. How does being your authentic self manifest as putting on a high pitched voice because you think that's what women do? 

[Snoopy]

Jeff NoPussy has been busy hyping all over thread about some band until it's revealed there's a problematic -

Apparently the new singer is a hardcore scientologiest that supported Danny Masterson during his trial? Anyone know if that's true or is someone just making shit up on reddit?

That'd be a hard pass from me if it's true.

Strangely he wants to wait until all the facts are out. Can't judge. Impossible to know. Need moar evidence and all that.

She was definitely a scientologist 10-11 years ago. (So was Beck, who I listen to, so I can't pretend to be on a moral high horse here.) The only source for the Masterson stuff is a comment left by the singer of The Mars Volta, who was a scientologist and left. The letters that people wrote in defense of Masterson are public record so if she did, it'll get out there eventually.

It's something I'd keep an eye on but I'm just going to enjoy this for now and worry about something maybe being a shitty person later.

Others respond to his dismissal -

I may have missed some of this conversation in this thread but Cedric's wife was raped by Danny Masterson so he has a lot of knowledge about that particular situation.

I was just about to post this too.
You can't just write the accusation off as "mudslinging from another scientologist who she had a falling out with". That the post was from Cedric is actually super important because of how close he is personally to the Danny Masterson case, as well as being a former member of the CSI who has been very critical of the organisation since leaving. Also if people have heard about the whole accusation that "scientologists killed a former members dog by throwing it poisoned meat" thing, that was Cedric's dog.

It gives me a real pause about celebrating this, even though it is just accusations.

Jeff spots the trap, but he's been playing ban bait for a long time and immediately activates his ignorance shield -

Yeah, that is not something I was aware of. Will certainly keep an eye out and see if more information emerges. (Those letters in defense of Masterson are public so if she wrote one, it'll appear at some point.)

Cleverly sidesteps pages of comments about bad lady and goes after some weak kids -

Just call the band a new name. Rage did it with Audioslave. Don't disgrace Bennington's legacy with this.

Just kind of embarrassing, tbh.

The reaction has been pretty damn positive from the fan base so far, so that doesn't make too much sense.

But your band comaprison doesn't work either. This is the majority of the original Linkin Park lineup and their goal is to continue playing Linkin Park songs. That's what they want to do. Audioslave's goal was not to continue Rage Against the Machine.

Completely different situations.

I'm not sure how LP could manage to sound even worse but here we are.

I'm not sure there's a more late-2000s edgelord comment than implying that Chester Bennington didn't sound good.

Sadly the pitchfork mob arrive before he can get his teeth in and the world's shittest Pennywise is forced to slink off back into the shadows with his Giant Book Of Hypocrisy

I remember when this trend was starting they would use voice modulators to give them high-pitched voices  whenever they would appear on a podcasts. Podcast personalities would have to pretend to not notice the elephant in the room when those kind of guest would show up. Now they either use their normal voice or try to do the falsetto thing like raging pedo, Michael Jackson did.

I dont think it has anything to do with "dont talk about video games"

It has everything to do with most people being self serving and being a headass about the entire situation


Nobody gave a fuck about the game and shit on it since jump.....

But now that it has failed and pulled from market, everyone magically wants to come together to "find out" how this could happen lol.

Give it a fucking rest lmao

Hello!! SAVE DATA

Careful. Some of us were teenagers in the 2000s. Everything you say to us takes us one step closer to the edge and we’re about to break.

[Cheers]

Another thing.

My stance is this: when the creator of a game is someone who is openly, blatantly bigoted, I won't support them. It's literally impossible to be perfectly ethical in a capitalist system, but when the people who are the reason a piece of media exists at all are bigots actively pushing narratives that make life worse for innocent people, that media is tainted by association in my book.

It's no different from how I will not support anything related to the Harry Potter IP because JK Rowling openly and unapologetically wants my friends to die. The IP is Rowling and giving her money would just allow her to keep spending it to fund legislation to erase trans people from existence.

I don't expect you to necessarily share the exact same stance as me, but I think that open bigotry is a slightly different kind of situation than "drama", if that makes sense.

They always say this shit, every single time but they do not have any proof at all. Yet it is always repeated by these fuckers everywhere. Whether its people on Twitter who should know better but there is never any proof.

Let’s be fair here. Somebody who does not pass being catty towards somebody else, saying they never were able to pass, is absolutely woman behavior.

I think the thing to appreciate more is the hypocrisy of all the trans people claiming it was obvious when they're the same exact people who claim nobody can tell anyone else's sex from looking at them. There's a bunch of them in the replies/quotes/etc. beyond this just being something Caraballo/etc. constantly insists is true.

There is also the hypocrisy of “you need to wait for somebody to come out” that was spouted endlessly like when people were defending Chloe Sagal trying to scam people by shitting on the game journo that revealed the grift.

Watched something of theirs called PaperCut. 30 seconds of that cringey, barrel scraping, sanitized, corporate bullshit was more than enough. I'd rather listen to one of Morrigan's Norwegian hate groups than that soulless crap.

[BananaBlast]

Ree user airbagged has decided to defend the unattractive, man-jawed female custodes from an upcoming warhammer game (who, to my knowledge, were a shoehorned addition that directly contradicts the warhammer lore). 

How does the "respect women" male feminist defend ugly video game characters?

By insulting real women on the basis of their looks, of course. One that looks perfectly normal and not man-jawed as the character he's defending.

Perhaps Ree should be made aware of this, not that the hypocritical cunts would actually do anything.

Im sorry, but the fact that characters have to either look "sexy" or "badass" is craaaazy.

It's why Concord failed: characters didn't looked interesting

Concord failed because it did have bad asses.
