I'd like to have some other Bore members opinion on this. This is mine:

It boggles the mind that ANYONE would think a celebrity endorsement counts for shit. Who the fuck thinks to themselves 'I was undecided on Kamala Harris or Donald Trump, but Taylor Swift sez vote for Kamala? Then Kamala got my vote!'

Nothing puts me off MORE than celebrity endorsements. Democrats are the worst for it. If you're struggling to make ends meet in your job, why the fuck are celebrities who earn multiple $1,000,000's per movie, and who live a lifestyle you will never have in your wildest dreams, swinging your vote? I'm infinitely less likely to vote for a party just because Tay-Tay, and now ScarJo, are brown-nosing Kamala.

Republicans also completely suck in this regard, but in a different way. All their celebrity endorsements are from crazy dipshits like that Pillow-fucking guy, or from Hollywood has-beens like Kevin Sorbo, that whiney dude who played Superman in the 90's and Chachi from Happy Days. But in Republicans case, it's insane people preaching to largely insane people, aka, preaching to the already converted so it doesn't matter.

Besides, it's been proven that celebrity endorsements have virtually no influence, so not sure why politicians sucking hog for them. A month ago, Swifties pressured TayTay into supporting Kamala and it only added a couple of 100,000 registrations. And most young voters are just like Era voters: all bark and no bite. They never come out in huge numbers to vote. 

If you need to be told which way to vote by a celebrity, than you have no business voting in the first place.

You just described 50% of yt millenial women voters. 

They dress, walk, talk, sing and act like Taylor Swift, why wouldn't they vote like Taylor Swift?
Remember the Kardashians and those duck lips?

Also the difference last time was some 80.000 votes in a handful of states. Most polling is within 1% or 2%, 100k votes could swing the election for either candidate.
And currently more women than men have already voted in the election.

the celebrity covid "imagine" video was probably singlehandedly responsible for at least a dozen deaths as people cringed their masks right off their faces



peoples' relatives are dying and celebrities come together to sing "imagine there's no heaven"

And that disney thing? May also swing the thing. Disney/Marvel is still huge, those Disney events are like political rallies.

Some ResetEra member mad about the whole palestine thing might change their mind because Don Cheadle told them to vote. Totally possible.

Trump/Rogan at least 40 million views at this point. 
Even if it convinces just 1% of the listeners that's 400k votes.

I've thought about the endorsement thing long and hard and I think it's actually because every single living american sucks, with the exception of Stephen King and you can't believe anything he says cos he's CRAZY.

The entirety of good music ever made couldn't beat richard nixon, which is mental.

I agree with the feeling of being put off. I hate celebrity endorsements and celebrity worship. Why should I care how the rich and powerful of Hollywood feel about who is running for president when they hide inside their mansions behind their tall gates?  

Except our Bire favorite Gal Gadot.

I mean, I agree with the sentiment but I also feel you are singling out something that Conservatives will also totally do if they could get celebrities on their side. 

In fact, the reason why Trump got his initial push was because the celebrity worship.  

What I’m trying to say is that both sides don’t give a shit and are disconnected with the average working class voter… except Trump gets a free pass because he was a celebrity himself (and being more shallow than the average celebrity).

The Republican side is that weird boomer cringe feeling while the Democrats make me feel they are dealing with children. Both of them are weird.

[BananaBlast]

Cool, new thread.

If this place ain't stormfront enough for you I am happy to make it more so. 

I'm singling you out not personally but because I did want to say something regarding this idea in general in my capacity as admin careposter-in-chief. 

Slurs are intellectual weakness. They're a crutch for people who cannot articulate their thoughts in a truly understandable way. Before I expand on this thought, just look at how ResetERA.com talks about whites or men or chuds or fascists. But also think about how Nepenthe would respond to you calling her the gamer word, she'd love that, that's what she wants you to do. But going at her delusional persona, either with a scalpel or a hatchet, without any bigotry is not just what she fears, it's pretty much her central paranoia about life itself. People wanting to make art easier aren't just doing that, no, they're declaring war on her personally. Sure she doesn't produce any commercial art in the first place but that's just proof of how successful their war on her is. Same with "whites" and "capitalists" it all comes back to Nepenthe's central place in the universe and everyone else's jealousy and anger at her for her divine importance. Slurs, and bigotry in general, play into that story she tells herself. Holding her accountable for her actions with a mirror or reality or whatever while not drifting into signs of hatred is the real dagger in the ribs. Repeat across that entire forum. It's why this place is comparatively verboten while Kiwi Farms is a useful boogie-man and constant enemy on the horizon. 

So while I may not ban or filter (more) slurs, nor the people who get around the existing filters or use terms that maybe could be filtered, I do look down at it. And tut-tut at how uncouth you garbage deplorables are. Be better, savage their delusional personalities not their meaningless demographic characteristics. Oh, and end genocide (of progressive gaming studios). 

While I do get where you're heading, I feel like you missed the biggest and most obvious reason; which is simply that by using actual slurs (at least in an unironic fashion, some jokes can get away with using slurs it if it's clever enough and seems divorced enough from personal opinion) is just a bad thing to do. In nearly all cases, it's basically someone instantly showing to everyone that they're a shitty person with hateful biases and prejudices.

Sure, I agree it's a sign of intellectual weakness, and that it's what insane progressives secretly bait for so they can feed their endless victim complex, but ultimately I feel that doesn't really matter since things like heated unironic usage of slurs, discrimination, and bigotry simply shouldn't be in any well-meaning person's arsenal.

As you've compared this place to KiwiFarms, seemingly the only other site that has an ongoing thread covering ResetERA (that I'm aware of), I've found this place infinitely better than KiwiFarms, simply because you don't have the shittiest human beings imaginable just spamming deplorable shit left and right, completely losing the plot, and in some instances, becoming far more shitty than their targets of criticism.

[Shecky Fragbaum]

Just catching up here. So if we're calibrating the TOS then I'll weigh in:

Generally speaking I'm pro-free expression and anti-censorship. That having been said...there hasn't been a really good reason to use any of the classic "slurs"in quite some time. Most of the radioactive ones are that way for a pretty good reason, and the recent additions...it's just a matter of risk-reward in my opinion.  "Read the room" is a pretty good ROE.

Even before this current age of hypersensitivity was visited upon us, I had settled upon a fairly trustworthy strategy for online discourse: attack the argument, not the speaker.  Personalities clash, trends fade, but logic persists.  That was my guiding principle.  And if I stuck to it, I was bulletproof  

Then, 2014 happened.  Discourse changed.  Logic changed. 

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

The definition of praxis changed 

There's nothing wrong with gathering here and shining a light on loonies who are trying to, among solving other Gordian knots,  guilt the West into burning itself down on behalf of its legion of adversaries  (some of whom who would glady reward their otherwise  Unapologetically Queer allies' contributions to the Fall™ with complimentary neck rides on a 10 story crane [but y'all ain't ready for that conversation]).

Tl/DR:

Just quote em and never ever let em off the hook; no need to prove them right on a dare.

I was not at all talking about the stategies of campaigning, but specifically about the meaning of a Black Head of State from a more revolutionary perspective. Largely, I don't think most people reckon with the ramifications of that because they just don't actually care about Black politics inasmuch as they are working towards goals of Black liberation. Indeed, people are either hostile to that or have given up on it, and instead just want Black people pulling the levers that are killing the Global South because idpol. Hell, they seem more amenable to the idea in an age where trust in America is pretty tenuous already, which is in and of itself a backhanded compliment but whatever.

As for Harris' administration, I bet you a dollar she will be like every other neoliberal Democrat of the modern era. I suspect absolutely no surprises, but I would be willing to eat crow if proven wrong on the things I actually care about.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]
