Fuck you.
No, I really mean it. Fuck you and go to hell. We will never be able to coexist with these progressive lunatics. You are destroying every good memory we have. Once the pendulum swings back I hope you suffer twice as much as we do.
The question was never that good content isn't out there to be enjoyed - we all know that. The issue is that, for the past decade and change, there has been an active and insidious attempt to attack and besmirch major cultural touchstones (yes, like Star Wars) by either turning them into mouthpieces of THE MESSAGE or else destroy them completely. What we're seeing happen at Disney/Lucasfilm/Marvel is only a microcosm of a much bigger cultural war that seeks to destabilize or erase the core values of Western culture.

The philosopher Jean-François Braunstein, against the woke ideology: "It is a religion without forgiveness in which the white man is always guilty"
-“Why do you consider it a religion?
-I talk about religion because it goes against science, against the free exchange of arguments and reality as we know it. It is the first religion taught in universities. Since the 19th century, this has always been the place of tolerance and freedom of opinion, and today the majority are dominated by this woke religion. It evokes what we call the "great religious awakening." And it is a religion without forgiveness in which the white man, colonialist, is always guilty of oppressing the eternal victims. Freedom of discussion, the search for truth and objective knowledge are in question. It is a determined attack on the enlightenment, the heritage of Western knowledge and culture. It was my duty as an intellectual to address it.”

Im on episode 2 and so far so good. Only spotted one woke additive not found in the games in that theres a non binary character. Why would some fucked up post apocalyptic world have gender sensitivity training to make sure commanding officers respect pronouns?
Would anyone be interested in a protest at Ubisoft headquarters?
This entire situation is taking a huge emotional toll on this community and I think we should do something positive about it. Beautiful women have historically viewed men like us as “weird” and “creepy” so beautiful women in games have been our refuge and now that’s being taken away from us. Would anyone else be interested a peaceful March on Ubisoft or Disney headquarters?
I’ve also been thinking of doing a hunger strike in protest of woke cultural vandalism but I’m not gonna ask other people to join me.
Slut. Men are just sick and tired of not even having the OPTION of marrying virgins. Men are expected to bust their ass, be wealthy, and have top tier genetics for what? A single mom with 2 baby daddies? It has nothing to do with feeling small. Used pussy is not attractive. Sorry you bought into feminism hype and no real man wants you now. You can fuck all the guys you want, but you and I both know you’ll never find a man you actually like/respect to love you back because you’re a used up wh0re. You keep getting pumped and dumped and it angers you so much. That’s why you hate me. I remind you of every man who fucked the shit out of you and ghosted you the next day.
Sorry— the human race is binary. You can call yourself non-binary all you want— but you’re still either born a male or female. Males and females are a binary.

It is different from dyslexia in that dyslexia actually has a specific effect that can be measured.
The same cannot be said for dyscalculia, where the diagnosis is basically “Oh, looks like you struggle with math and numbers. Must be dyscalculia.”
“Dyscalculia” is almost always the result of one or more other learning disabilities, whether a memory problem, a reasoning problem, a perception problem, or otherwise. You’ll never find dyscalculia without finding at least one other learning disability that causes dyscalculia.
So sure, if dyscalculia is just a label for a specific result of other disabilities, then yeah, it exists. But dyscalculia itself isn’t a specific disability with a specific measurable effect.
But in the end, regardless of the existence of dyscalculia, if there is one thing that needs to be stopped more than anything else, it’s the self-diagnosis by math students who struggle with math for one reason or another (usually the teacher’s or curriculum’s fault). And when they get that diagnosis, they give up on math, or stop trying as hard.
Again, I’m not going to validate an excuse for bad teaching practices and the discouragement of learning.
Yes, learning disabilities exist, but “dyscalculia”, a disability that somehow specializes in mathematics, a non-biological non-social construct of the modern age, is a nonsensical concept.
Sure, students can have adhd, or aphantasia, or dyslexia, or some other disability, or combination of disabilities, that makes it difficult to learn math on top of the other effects those disabilities have. But there is no such thing as a disability that affects mathematics only and nothing else.
Any student can learn, even with learning disabilities. It’s just a matter of find a way to work with or around the disability. Saying “oh, you have a disability that makes it impossible for you to be good at math” is one of the worst things anyone could ever tell a child.
I’m not going to validate a lie that can only hinder a child’s ability to learn and grow.
Earlier this month, Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old non-binary student from Oklahoma, died one day after being assaulted in an Owasso High School bathroom. (The details are still unclear.)
The issue came up on Friday night during a “Legislative Update” featuring several lawmakers and sponsored by the Tahlequah Area Chamber of Commerce. An audience member, Cathy Cott, asked the four Republican members of the legislature why they had “such an obsession with the LGBTQ citizens of Oklahoma and what people do in their personal lives and how they raise their children.”
As reported by the Tahlequah Daily Press, State Sen. Tom Woods offered the worst possible response:
“… Woods said that while his “heart goes out” regarding the teen’s death, he represents a constituency.
“We are a Republican state—supermajority—in the House and Senate. I represent a constituency that doesn’t want that filth in Oklahoma,” Woods said.
…
“We are a religious state and we are going to fight it to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we are a Christian state—we are a moral state,” Woods said. “We want to lower taxes and let people be able to live and work and go to the faith they choose. We are a Republican state and I’m going to vote my district, and I’m going to vote my values, and we don’t want that in the state of Oklahoma.”
Republican Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee said Tuesday that "we should kill 'em all" after an activist pressed him to respond to atrocities that the U.S.-backed Israeli military is committing against Palestinians in Gaza, including children.
"I've seen the footage of shredded children's bodies," the activist told Ogles. "That's my taxpayer dollars that are going to bomb those kids."
"You know what? So, I think we should kill 'em all, if that makes you feel better," Ogles responded. "Hamas and the Palestinians have been attacking Israel for 20 years. It's time to pay the piper."

“Anti-semetic” for saying that demonizing and de-humanizing people you disagree with socially/politically is how we got the Holocaust. That’s just a logically true statement.
“Transphobic” for saying her pronouns are “beep/bop/boop when pressured to include pronouns in her Twitter bio. Nothing “transphobic” about pointing out that the mob is a bunch of robots.
There's a whole iceberg of how deep it actually goes that you don't see.
Even in American movements that had become completely detached from Christianity you can see the elements of "Protestant ethic" or "Puritanism".
The modern woke culture and cancel culture is purely built on that. It's based on the moral outrage that a person causes to the "puritan sensibilities" even if they're not the Christian sensibilities. In this context calling someone a racial slur or one of the myriad of -phobic terms or just doing something that's not acceptable for them is the same kind of defilement of morals as with Christian moms losing their mind over Pokemon or some other game.
It wasn't from this video, but when I first learned about this fact in American culture and started to see it through this lens it all started to make sense.
It's literally everywhere in their games, music, movies, online discussions. Obviously not everyone adheres to it in a strict sense, but you can see it in their subconscious process.
This American protestant ethic is not a set of morals or values. The morals and values can be anything, even very unchristian ones. The American protestant ethic is the way of application of your morals and values to the world around you.
"Those that believe my set of values are morally superior to those that do not."
"Offending my values even passively or unintentionally calls for an attack or even mob violence from my fellow morally superior peers."
"We must always be above those that are morally evil, by attacking them and self-promoting ourselves."
"The set of morals that you adhere to has to be a central point of your identity and you must build your entire life around it"
There's lots of things that I had probably missed but that's my take on it.
I've mentioned this around and I figure this deserves a post of its own as I think it's a worthy discussion topic. I think on some level, we self-sabotaged and allowed our entertainment to end up this way by not allowing the right people (especially conservative straight males) to enter creative centric careers.
This allowed the proliferation of women and other leftist minorities such as the LGBT etc to occur and why those in charge of our entertainment are predominantly of the mindset we are now contending with in terms of bad media that cater to our tastes.
I mean how many times have we seen boys ridicule performing arts etc calling them "g*y" etc over the years thus a lot of straight males tend to avert and avoid even thinking of going into such careers (plus also giving women and minorities a reason to act the way they do) and thus we now have a problem especially with how men are depicted in media.
I think if we want to change this, something like full-ride scholarships for conservative straight males to enter these professions would go a long way but something like that won't exist.
People have lost all hope in a distopian nightmare that was once called “America”. We are told not to trust our eyes and to “believe the science.” Unless the science has to do with gender. We are on the edge of a civil war, a world war, and a culture war. In the absence of god, there is only taylor swift
I am a big believer that Hollywood was created by the CIA.
The superintendent of a Texas school district has drawn new criticism over suspending a Black student over his locs hairstyle after defending the district in a full-page newspaper ad in the Houston Chronicle. Greg Poole, the top official at Barbers Hill ISD since 2006, says the district's Education Foundation took "the unprecedented step of buying advertising to ensure an unaltered response" after the Houston Chronicle's Editorial Board published an opinion piece on December 21.
The editorial was published a few weeks after Barbers Hill High School student Darryl George was placed in in-school suspension in early December, the same day he completed a 30-day stint at the school district's alternative school. He was initially suspended in September over a dress code violation related to his hair, the same month Texas' CROWN Act went into effect.
According to the Houston Chronicle, George initially was suspended for wearing his hair in dreadlocks pinned up in a barrel roll. The Barbers Hill ISD student handbook says male students are prohibited from having hair below the eyebrows or below the ear lobes," and hair cannot reach "below the top of a T-shirt collar or be gathered or worn in a style that would allow the hair to extend below the top of a T-shirt collar, below the eyebrows or below the ear lobes when let down."
The full page ad published on Sunday, January 14, rebukes the editorial board's criticism of the dress code and claims that loosening the rules would "have us lose sight of the main goal of educational excellence by pursuing politically oriented 'lesser' goals." He also criticizes the editorial board's position as "consistent with every single media representation of this topic nationwide."
Poole said his four decades as an educational professional "tells me districts relax their dress code expectations because they simply get tired of enforcing it and pursue easier, lesser goals."
"Our military academies at West Point, Annapolis and Colorado Springs maintain a rigorous expectation of dress. They realize being an American requires conformity with the positive benefit of unity, and being a part of something bigger than yourself," Poole wrote.
The problem is that we prefer to endanger the majority for the benefit of a tiny minority of convinced activists, who present themselves as eternal victims. Their rights as trans people come before the safety of imprisoned women. On this subject Rowling did not hesitate to aggravate her case by tweeting, on December 12, 2021, about the police who now register male criminals who have raped women as women, just if they declare that they are: "War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. The guy with a penis who raped you is a woman." The reference to Orwell could not be better chosen, we are indeed living in 1984.

So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and drown my troubles away

For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
'Cause your dollar ain't shit and it's taxed to no end

And not just minors on an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat

Well, God, if you're five-foot-three and you're three-hundred pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of Fudge Rounds
Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground
'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin' them down

Lord, it's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

A wave of madness and intolerance is sweeping the Western world. Originating in American universities, woke religion is sweeping everything in its path: universities, schools, companies, media and culture.
This religion propagates, in the name of the fight against discrimination, dogmas that are at least unheard of: Gender theory professes that sex and the body do not exist and that consciousness is what matters. Critical race theory asserts that all white people are racist, but that no racialized person is racist. Point of view epistemology argues that all knowledge is situated and that there is no objective science, not even exact sciences. The aim of the wokes is to deconstruct all cultural and scientific heritage and prepare for the establishment of a dictatorship in the name of good and social justice . It is all this and much more that Braunstein explains and contextualizes in this The Woke Religion , supported by texts, theses, conferences and essays, which he cites and explains at length, to denounce this new religion that destroys freedom. A shocking and salutary essay.
Tucker Carlson’s descent into pushing conspiracies hit a scientific new low as the former Fox News host suggested in a new interview that he’s open to the theory that Earth may actually be flat.
Speaking to the Blaze’s Alex Stein (via Meidas Touch), Carlson was asked about the Flat Earth theory. “Well, I’m open to anything,” he replied. “How could I not be open to anything at this point? I mean, there’s been so much deception that you can’t trust your preconceptions.”
After dismissing the notion that history trends toward “enlightenment and technological progress” as “a complete lie,” Carlson added, “The most basic stories we’ve been told about history, about the Earth, the physical Earth itself, which has been completely changed by climate change for millions of years, once you realize all of that, then it’s like, I don’t know, what is true?”
However, Carlson wouldn’t brand himself a Flat Earther only because guns of all things taught him that the world is probably round. “As far as the curvature of the Earth, that’s a thing in shooting,” he said. “I like rifle shooting and past a certain distance you have to take that in account. That suggests it’s real. Because one thing I know that is guns. Guns are real.”
Not surprisingly, this isn’t the first time Carlson has baited Flat Earthers, using their ridiculous cause as an entry point to examine other conspiracies, like the “truth” behind 9/11 and aliens.
“Flat Earth people have been able to cruise beneath the radar for so long — and by the way I’m not discounting that possibility for the record, in case any are here, because I’m an open-minded man,” Carlson once said at a Turning Point Action conference. “Present me the evidence of its flatness, and I will amplify it.”
We tried a documentary about men joining women's sports leagues, but found out they'd have to take hormone treatments first. So we made a fictional film about it instead.
In a tirade about the COVID-19 pandemic, Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones called for mass executions of people who developed and promoted the vaccine. Claiming that they were responsible for the deaths of 20,000,000 people, Jones demanded that Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, and others be publicly hanged.
Jones complained that Dr. Anthony Fauci, Klaus Schwab, and Bill Gates are “still walkin’ around” after murdering “20,000,000 people.” After a rambling monologue about COVID lockdowns and mask mandates, Jones called for the metaphorical assassination of Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla.
“But the point is you just can’t let this criminal group run around and reconstitute itself and do it again,” Jones said. “And I’m not saying citizens arrest ’em — they’d turn that into terrorism. I’m not saying go out and blast or, you know, kill the head of Pfizer, [Albert] Bourla.”
“But I’m saying politically, culturally, non-violently assassinate his name, assassinate his stock, assassinate everyone that served him, politically, non-violently with a assassination of his identity. Because he is a bad person. And then don’t worry, the criminal charges will come. And they need to come. And they must come.”
But Jones quickly dropped the metaphor, pivoting to a direct call for executions. “He must hang for what he did. Bill Gates must hang for what he did. Fauci must hang for what he did,” Jones declared.

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.

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.

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.

Also that was no rant. I was quite relaxed and maybe just chuckling mildly
I need to step up my game.
DSC is the biggest pussy in existence. In fact, DSC is such an unfathomedly enormous, gigantic pussy, that when their mom gave birth, it almost cataclysmally unmade reality, breaking the laws of physics, time, and space, as a larger pussy somehow emerged from a smaller pussy.

I just kinda glanced at some of the comments and it looks like DSC is not very well respected over there.

they aren't even fun there. and of course, not scary in a slightest. who needs clowns which neither fun nor scary?
p.s.: at least somebody there got my note about proper links.
Every black person who says that they're a leader needs to pen blazing questions about HIV
And get an answer to the question "How could it be in a book published in 1969?"

Man to man, I don't know if they can
From what I know, the parts don't fit (Ah shit)
How he's sharin' a needle with a drug addict
He don't believe he has it (Either)
But now he does, he doesn't know
'Cause he goes straight to a ho
Tell you what who was next on the butt
Wild thingin' on a germ runnin' wild
Yo stop! But the bag popped
Damn!

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.

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”.

“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.
