I saw that the space daddy has said that cis and cisgender are considered slurs on twitter. I hadn't really thought about it til I saw a video putting more context on it and got me think about how is used and who's been using it and think it may have some validation as such. What do you think?

[bife_de_lomo]
I'm with Norm Macdonald. It's an attempt to marginalise normal people.

[No-Basket-5993]
It is a slur, it's used as a slur and it's whole purpose and use is to demoralize those you are speaking to or about.

[MoistShare601]
It's an attempt to make you cosign their narrative. Glad someone is putting it down.

That whole Marisa turning out to be a literal pedophile was trending for a bit on the farms.

Also, DSC's been posting about Marisa (#homophobia CHOMO RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS) on the fundie board, so we're getting a wee bit of traffic from that quarter as well. Choosing that particular hill to die on is exactly on brand for the semi-articulate brain tumour that writes most of his posts for him, so hurrah I guess.

[Context: someone named Marisa with a profile pic from the japanese franchise Touhou talked shit about Doomer Boards, and one of the members got salty about it.]
I feel so sorry for the Japanese guy who made Touhou; you make a hard as nails bullet hell shooter on a shoestring budget with a VERY decent soundtrack while drunk that has a universe filled with SOUL that's thematically steeped in Japanese folklore. You add a diverse stylish cast of characters who have charming and eccentric personalities that are mostly morally grey and some are really badass (I mean there's a loyal house maid who doubles up as a bodyguard for a vampire mansion that can literally freeze time then throw hundreds of knives at you before unfreezing time.. but can just as easily serve you tea).

The niche game spiralling into success is really heartwarming for me, Japanese musicians (<3 Shibayan) make amazing rearrangements of your songs with female singers who have amazing vocal ranges like 3L, hundreds of fangames get made across different genres and an anime and tons of manga get adapted from it.

Meanwhile in the West it's just taint and despair everywhere.. pedophiles, sex pests, groomers, stalkers, predators and ideologically driven creeps try become your characters so they can use your characters' faces to appropriate and pass off their unacceptable chaotic evil personalities and fetishes as "morally grey".. alongside the usual "social democrats" invading what excuse there is in the Western fandom to try assert ideological control over it really just adds up to Touhou being lowkey the biggest disconnect between the East and West I've seen, ever... you can't even blame anyone for hating it the moment they find out it exists when that's the only reaction you can trust.

I tried really hard not to write this post, but wow, fuck you "Marrisa", thank you for further vilifying a franchise that really didn't need further vilification. Kudos.

The advent of dating apps. Every single girl has been programmed from birth to believe they deserve a Prince Charming so women will all only swipe on the top 5-10% of men. Women just have too many options now, not just guys from class or work or friend groups, but the entire world, so why not try and get with a handsome millionaire? Because these men have all of the options, they'll never commit to a woman, just hump n dump, so women are left feeling used and unsatisfied, yet they don't change their behavior. The other 90% of men are also left unsatisfied as we get very few matches and the ones we do get will generally ghost us.

I don't literally think the government should assign mates to citizens, but modern romance is dead and broken. Men and women have never been more antagonistic towards one another in history, thanks most likely to fourth wave feminism, which has resulted in the "all men are oppressors/trash/rapists" type of discourse. The average millennial man has not been laid in the last year according to a semi-recent study. So men are lonely, spend more time online, and gradually develop mysogynistic attitudes.

#MeToo has also led women to not trust men (harassment, rape) and men to not trust women (false accusations). People are scared to interact. I don't even try to flirt with anyone anymore lest it be construed as sexual harassment. People are so broken they can't connect IRL and are forced to try and keep using dating apps. An example of this zeitgeist was a mainstream horror film coming out a year or two ago about a couple meeting in a grocery store instead of an app and the dude turns out to be a serial killer (fucking thanks, Hollywood).

I post EPICly FOR THE LULZ!!

I had no problem with Mayhemic Destructor when people were losing their shit over him. He was spamming rather much though fortunately was reigned in somewhat after a while. I really hope he's doing alright these days. I tried to help him and talk some sense into him at times and he was very reasonable to talk to. I had no problem with his autism because he was not weaponized for the FORCES OF EVIL who are trying to starve and deprive us all including even their own useful idiots doing their bidding thinking they'll be rewarded with a communist utopia. I already mentioned how Musk and Carmack rose above shit.

I'm against discrimination. The most qualified person should get a position, job, promotion, or be trusted to handle something. Denying such a suitable candidate for something truly IS DISCRIMINATION just because they don't have some aspect to meet a bullshit quota.

Also the increasing rates of autism are a sure sign that it's being inflicted on people, whether purposely or accidentally. I've seen some stuff that a major cause may be mercury (which is a serious freaking neurotoxin) or its derivatives PLUS parasites, and that many poorly trained doctors under the medical cartel refuse to test for parasites. There's also recent class action law suit commercials over some apparent findings of pregnant women having taken various common pain killers having autistic kids. For a control group, how about the Amish? They live in vast regions of Pennsylvania and Ohio in the US. They are not quarantined away from normies and yet autism is virtually nonexistent among them. Probably same deal with food allergies and auto immune disorders.

[Context: they are talking about the case of Haley Anderson, who was murdered by a man after she told him she didn’t want to commit to a relationship with him.]

Haley put herself in that situation. I don't think she didn't realize that Orlando is a odd human being. But she continued to satisfy her lust with him and that caused her end

he killed her. But why did she go to his house in the first place ? To have physical relationship with him. The issue is not that. The issue is she did that despite knowing he is very odd human being. Like who does that ? An addict does that. She had Zero self control. The moment her family realised that she has started going out with Orlando despite his odd behaviour, they should have strongly insisted her to go on therapy for her sex addiction.

Alexander Stepanov #moonbat #dunning-kruger qr.ae

What you read about Stalin in western textbooks comes from Nazi propaganda recycled by CIA and MI6. More realistic picture is presented in Ludo Marten’s book Books - The Revolutionary Communist Progressive Labor Party
Imperialist powers hate Lenin and Stalin because they saved Russia from division and colonization by western powers that had already enslaved entire planet. In February 1917 a coup sponsored by England and France overthrew Russian czar and installed a puppet “government” that led Russia to catastrophe. Western puppets destroyed Russian army at the peak of WWI. Corruption and separatism were rampant.
Lenin and Stalin suppressed the liberal coup, restored manageability of country, recreated Russian army, fought and defeated colonial armies sent by England, France, Romania, Japan, the US, Poland, Finland and their local mercenaries that tried to rip Russia into colonies. Lenin and Stalin restored independence and territorial integrity of Russia.
There is plenty of propaganda nonsense in other answers, like Soviet industrialization was carried out by “slave labor”. This is a myth of Nazi propaganda. The point of propagandists is that the 5 fold increase of industrial output was achieved by the labor of prisoners. In the reality the number of prisoners in the USSR ranged from 250 thousands to two millions during the 30s. It is 0.125% - 1% of population. Even at the highest level in 1937–1938 the number of prisoners was comparable to that in modern US.
In Stalin’s time 75% illiteracy turned into 100% literacy. Life expectancy grew from 27 to 65 years. Millions got jobs in science, technology and engineering.
Stalin is co hated by western colonial powers because the USSR serves as an example of independent industrialization. The USSR showed that non-western nation can not only defend itself against western colonial war, but also defeat the imperialist west in a war. The USSR had shown that science, engineering, universal health care and education is possible without colonial slavery. Of course the imperialists from Churchill and Hitler to Truman and Reagan spread slanderous lies about the USSR and Stalin who dealt a deadly blow to the myth of invincibility western imperialism and gave hope to humanity.

This weak, pathetic fool, probably sits at home (or their parent's home) collecting welfare or unemployment, and probably would be incompetent at whatever of the multitude of jobs available anyway, such as cashiers that are mystified at basic math of what change to give.


Instead of finding something creative or productive to do, even having been on Doom editing forums, makes off site archives of the discussions of evil boogey men possibly with hopes to hold against us in a future communist regime, and comments at a safe distance (though that's not working out too well). Has an autistic need to categorize people which just doesn't work. What a retarded loser.

Oh and never mind the utter denial of things contrary to the brainwashed narratives. It's all far right wing misinformation, even official DoD docs released by Freedom of Information Act requests or Libs of TikTok directly relaying footage of pedo teachers grooming kids on a massive scale.

@pyro #148960

I actually agree, the “archival” function of sites like this is important. Just as important as, say, the archival function of the kiwifarms is, especially when you’ve got sex predators scraping google clean to hide the fucking evidence.

And we really don’t delete posts… why the hell would I? To save the precious feelings of the userbase? Fuck that, arguement and debate is darwinian, that’s how opinions and intelligences *evolve*; a healthy dose of cringe in a user’s history ought to help stop repeated third-degree retardation offences.

@Anon-e-moose #148929

This, however, somewhat undermines your website’s noble archival endeavor: difficult to say “we’re archiving websites to preserve content for the future!” when your users are actively advocating for the deletion of said websites. I’d question the biases of archeologists who openly advocate for mass extinction events. I’d also call them “intellectual cowards with shit debating skills”, “cretinous societal vandals” and, quite possibly, invite them to “eat my shit, you invertebrate pussy”.

<@KeithInc.> #148908

“Meaning if you don’t get the point i was trying to make, it’s your failing, not mine.”

Yes. Lurk more. Read more books. Don’t come at me screaming “I’m too fucking stupid to read subtext, and don’t have time to read context, but my opinion is just as valid as yours”. I’ve been featured three times on this shitfeast of a website, and not once has anyone stopped to think “Hmmm, how much of this is rhetoric over-exaggeration, how much of this is for comic effect, how come he hold free speech opinions that are actually left wing, how is babby formed what is sarcasm…” Fuck off.

dasho #elitist #wingnut doomworld.com

[Context: below and in quotations is an article of the Washington Post talking about the working conditions at Blizzard Entertainment. Dasho is reacting to it.]

“Previously, it’s ruined relationships I’ve been in where no one wants to date someone who barely has time for them for months at a time, at least once a year, if not more,” said a current Blizzard Albany employee, who described often working 12-hour days. “It’s affected my health, it’s affected my relationships, both familiar and romantic. It affects my ability to just enjoy things.”

[dasho]
If that article was supposed to generate a modicum of sympathy from me, it's pretty piss-poor.

Unless she has a 7-day work week, all I'm reading is she had a lot of weeks where she worked more than 40, but less than 60 hours. I was able to have friends, meet a woman, marry her, and start raising a family while working more and certainly earning far less at the time than she does.

The rest of this "journalism" piece seems to be comprised of opinions of people who just don't like their job in general or the now-oft-used "sources familiar with x", aka "complete heresay."

It's interesting, if nothing else. Fucking soy bugmen *want* to post on 4chan or the farms, but can't because it's superbad heresy: the solution, make their own shitty off-brand GMO version.

I can't say I disapprove, cuz laughing at fucktards on the internet has been a hobby of mine for 20+ years now. But it did get me thinking about how web 2.0 has ruined even these simple pleasures in subtle ways. They've removed the context from the comedy, they are no longer part of the spheres they are laughing at. They are sitting in the parking lot that reddit paved over their own fucking community with, looking down at the savages that refused to be conglomerated into these depersonalized industrial supersites, and they are deeply puzzled over the behavior they are witnessing there.

Does anyone even know who anyone else is these days? Or is it just a chain of indistinguishable, interchangeable userhandles marching past your screen in a never-ending parade? There's no investment, swipe left for retardation, turn up tomorrow for more and different retardation, repeat ad infinitum ad nauseum.

There's also a fucking deep and worrisome lack of comprehension skills on display over there.

Another thing - we don't censor, there is literally no need for external archives so you can go give your true opinion on a post (that's the reason why the farms exist: you can't call dew out on his bullshit on DW, you are forced to go elsewhere to state your opinion). So what's this two degrees of separation in aid of? You can fucking call me a cunt here and no one will bat an eye, you can state your insipid political opinions right here on this very forum and - this is the important bit - you can defend, stipulate, articulate to your hearts content about how the original post was wrong.

Of course, they won't do that, because they are moral and intellectual cowards with shit debating skills.

The USSR quite literally stopped, what many believed at the time, an unstoppable Nazi army, which was very open about its genocidal goals. How how how is Stalin "the bad guy" in this instance?

All he said was "cry harder" on twitter. That's not extremism, misogyny, bigotry, or radicalism. Come on dude you make it out like this guy is the new hitler or something. I don't understand why this would elicit such emotions in you.

I don't know how much you know about that journalist, but she isn't exactly an innocent little angel either. She's a grown woman who made intentional choices in her career to boost her own popularity that ended up attracting a lot of negative attention. It's not a big deal all in all. I would even argue that if you're not pissing some people off, your journalism career isn't doing something right.

[Context: they are talking about the KiwiFarms affair and lamenting that the site was shut down.]

Yeah.

As with all these things, the boo-hooing about harassment is just a convenient excuse for the powers that be to censor dissenting voices. The supposed leader of the movement is just an insane freak without any redeeming qualities (as can be seen if one looks "it" up). The real force behind the push to shut the site down are those who seek to change laws etc. to smother anything that isn't in line with the current global propaganda monopoly. They always use the "hey these people are mean so it's all right for us to do whatever to them" angle since it's efficient. A stupid site where people laugh at dumb fucks is brought down today so that all of us can be slaves without rights tomorrow.

That tomorrow is nigh, by the way, and not some far off fantasy.

Matt Walsh fans #transphobia #wingnut #dunning-kruger #pratt #sexist #homophobia #enbyphobia #interphobia youtube.com

[Context: the following is an excerpt from the description of a video by Professor Dave Explains, where he tries to debunk Matt Walsh’s nonsense]

Since the moment I published this video, it has been targeted by the most disgusting and malicious mob of trolls I have ever seen, far beyond what I ever conceived possible. These are trolls who comment from dozens of sock accounts at once, calling me "groomer", "pedophile", "soy boy", telling me that they bet I watch my wife fuck other guys and then clean up afterwards, the most subhuman things imaginable. They then harvest any reaction they get to call me "triggered", pasting these responses in new comments without context to slander me, and then follow up with abject lies about things I've said or other people have said. The rest of the trolls employ a strategy of outright denying everything in the video and claiming victory, or spamming nonsensical rebuttals in an attempt to change the narrative. There is something heinous behind this concerted attack on reason, simply for exposing Matt Walsh for precisely what he is. It has become an enormous stress, and for this reason comments will be turned off on this video until this otherworldly wave of toxicity has found another target. My outlook on the state of this country has been permanently affected.

Slaves were given meaning to their pathetic existence. They were given food, shelter, water. They were kept in cool climates. They were treated better than by tribes or muslims. Slaves were also more orderly, since they were not free to throw their shit at each other, like the monkeys that they are. Colonialism in general brought law and order to the subhuman monkeys, who were originally muslims (of course).

Its a culture of ease. We fear traumatizing the kids with the Iliad, or with History… The main objective now is to eliminate school failure by dumbing everything down. The education systems of the western world, today, are made to normalize and despise the most intelligent. They don’t valorize the elites, the idea itself of the elite is very poorly seen and given a lot of bad press. See the mediocrity of spanish, international and portuguese politics. Where is Churchill, Adenauer, Kennedy? School doesn’t care about a singular, brilliant individual anymore. They become an outcast, and its made to be believed that everyone is equal.

Skeletonpatch #wingnut #dunning-kruger doomworld.com

I find it interesting that so many here are so quick to decry and dismiss any validity in the concept of a monarchy when I've never been convinced that democracy or whatever other governmental power structure one supports is any better. While the idea of a monarch being appointed and gaining authority via God or some other religious institution does not resonate with me, I do not see the very idea of someone being raised from birth to rule as inherently heinous in and of itself. In my opinion, those who seek power are rarely those who deserve it and those who are deserving will rarely seek it. All I need to do is take a cursory glance at any given selection of democratically elected leaders to confirm this position for myself. Will a lot of bad people end up on the throne? Absolutely, but not every person that wears a crown will abuse their power and intentionally bring suffering to their subjects. If my assertion on those who seek power is correct, then it honestly seems less likely to me that genuinely good-hearted leaders will be sworn in under democratic practices, but as democracies tend to have rather short terms the statistical probability that a few will get in from time to time does shoot up.

As for colonialism and imperialism, yeah, those are indefensible from a moral standpoint but I don't see how they're intrinsically tied to monarchies either. It will be hard to convince me that colonialism doesn't happen within modern democratic systems, especially when most modern democratic powers were built on colonial foundations. Individual wars under traditional monarchies may have been much more common but I feel that is simply due to technological advances allowing fewer seats of power to control much larger regions in the modern day, which reduces the total number of world leaders and thus statistically decreases the chances for conflict. However, thanks to that same technological advance the conflicts that do happen are on a much larger scale and have much higher stakes.
