Social Justice Warriors - Now With Less Feminism Sperging

Race matters in the fictional Wizarding World of the Harry Potter series as much as it does in the real world. As J. K. Rowling continues to reveal details about the world she created, a growing number of fans, scholars, readers, and publics are conflicted and concerned about how the original Wizarding World—quintessentially white and British—depicts diverse and multicultural identities, social subjectivities, and communities. Harry Potter and the Other: Race, Justice, and Difference in the Wizarding World is a timely anthology that examines, interrogates, and critiques representations of race and difference across various Harry Potter media, including books, films, and official websites, as well as online forums and the classroom.

As the contributors to this volume demonstrate, a deeper reading of the series reveals multiple ruptures in popular understandings of the liberatory potential of the Potter series. Young people who are progressive, liberal, and empowered to question authority may have believed they were reading something radical as children and young teens, but increasingly they have raised alarms about the series’ depiction of peoples of color, cultural appropriation in worldbuilding, and the author’s antitrans statements in the media. Included essays examine the failed wizarding justice system, the counterproductive portrayal of Nagini as an Asian woman, the liberation of Dobby the elf, and more, adding meaningful contributions to existing scholarship on the Harry Potter series. As we approach the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Harry Potter and the Other provides a smorgasbord of insights into the way that race and difference have shaped this story, its world, its author, and the generations who have come of age during the era of the Wizarding World.

I never expected to find a more hamfisted attempt to push an agenda using Harry Potter than Eliezer Yudowsky's 122-chapter Harry Potter rationalist fan fiction novel, but here it is.

Sony still being Sony
 
Sony took a /v/ greentext making fun of xbox and cortana (that I'm too lazy to search for), said "Brilliant!" and patented it. I'll never give them another dime.
time to drop another one.png
Although that twitter post is new, that patent is very old. Sony still makes excellent stuff so there is no harm in continuing to buy from them until they actually implement something as retarded as this.

The actual patent is US8246454 (a), Approved and assigned to Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. in 2009, the reassignment to Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC is meaningless as the former company became the latter. The only worrying part should be that they filed for an extension of the patent until 2030, allowing them exclusively to still implement it until then. Business wise the extension is actually pretty poor if they do choose to implement it, as it means any customer can just go out and buy a tv/console that isn't from Sony and not have to put up with such ads. The more optimistic reasoning for the extension could be that they don't want to allow any other company to implement this for the consumers sake, but this is extraordinarily unlikely.

I believe this clip from Silicon Valley is also meming on other parts of this patent involving placing tailored ads in video games:
 
So, sorry if this is late and completely out of left field, but I legit haven't been able to find anything on this:

What's with the woke obsession with superheroes? Like, I know that wokies often love to use superheroes to try and push their little agendas and all that; the question is, why? Why do the wokies love to use superheroes as mouthpieces for their shite? It seems like every "hero" character created these days is supposed to be some wokeshit stand-in, but exactly why is beyond me.

Superheroes are "Current Thing".

Before superheroes exploded in popularity with the MCU and became Current Thing, most proto-woke were bitching that they presented unrealistic beauty standards, were agents of the Patriarchy, glorified violence, and a million other bullshit accusations. Once the superhero genre dies off, they'll find something else to be obsessed about.

Makes sense. Me, I admittedly kinda figured it had something to do with wokies trying to pass themselves off as the "heroes" of the world with the shit they pull; yours makes a bit more sense, though.

They will get rid of those terms entirely because science and math are racist and we're now teaching children "other ways of knowing " from indigenous heritage.
"OMG i love science, listen to the science!
No, but not like that!"
I've said it before and I'll say it again. There is value in other "ways of knowing" but it's almost never what's picked up by these academics.
These annoying fucks only ever want things that support their pre-existing narratives and morals. They don't give a single flying fuck about anything from any other culture if it doesn't further their own agenda.

For one, superhero stories tend to lack a nuanced sense of morality. Everything is black-and-white, good-guys-versus-bad-guys type of stories. This appeals to SJWs and Woke types because they have a similarly childish sense of right versus wrong.

Second, some superhero comics are old enough to have political propaganda about fighting Nazism, such as Captain America. Since these idiots label anyone who doesn't follow their cultish dogma whole-heartedly and unquestioningly "Nazis," it allows them to have escapism at getting back at "MAGAts" for winning the 2016 election.

I know few people like Common Core and to a lesser extent it seems like people don't even know about the current science education standards, but be thankful they were developed and implemented before 2015. It is unlikely that major changes or new standards will come out any time soon, and if they did there most certainly would a dimension for racial and gender equity that would intersect with every content standard. So the work-around today is that California has mandated a race studies class as a high school graduation requirement and every district is getting castigated for having white teachers build the curriculum. Too bad no POCs stepped up to do it. But I'm on a tangent here.
I mean when the National Science Teacher Association would include workshops on how to engage minority students that's one thing, but recently they've been including articles and workshops that undermine the very standards they helped build only a few years ago, it's insane.

Bonus points for the absolutely terrifying troon in the video. Legit scary looking, like women under the floorboards tier.


Looks like it is too late to qualify for the "Microaggression Booster Pack," sadly. 😟 Appears to have been a Kickstarter only Perk, alas.

This looks like something out of a South Park episode.

Some nice anti-white propaganda for the kids called "White Bias." It's apparently from a very short lived Netflix show from 2020 called "100 Humans."

I'm not American so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but when there is a black/white situation and I try to imagine a scenario of a shithead schoolboy and his friend bullying a nerdy kid, it's not the latter who is typically black. Apparently white kids preferring white toys is really fucked up (no comment if brown or black kids have their own biases, but if they do it's not a problem because reasons.)

tl;dr - "... do not forget that these people want you broke, dead, your kids raped and brainwashed, and they think it's funny."

That's rich. I went to a white minority school and while I had black friends, black kids in general were some of the biggest assholes. To each other, to me, and especially to asians. I saw a white kid in a different context try to bully a black kid once and it didn't go well for him.

While I was visiting Philly I saw a black guy harassing a Korean guy for speaking to his mother in Korean. Goes to show that they are ghetto pigs.

power fantasy + the idea that on top of being super powered, they're always right.
