Here is a link to Danny defending Disney and trashing the public domain. if anyone can post the video better on here please do.



Craig subtly fucking with Danny by pointing out steamboat Willy using public domain music, to begin with. Also, Danny admits he likes the wiz which only got to be made because the wizard of Oz entered the public domain. He of course trashed Doug Walker for not liking the Wiz.

Danny's biggest argument with Public Domain is that when something does enter, what do people do with it? There's endless retellings of Alice in Wonderland and the thing with Mickey is they're going to do a horror thing with him, a movie is supposedly already in production.
But what I like about Public Domain is it offers people to put their own unique spin on it. They can be cheap and lazy but if they're actually talented, you get something like McGee's Alice. Just having that chance and being in the public's collective access is a win for any creative over a corporation that would do nothing with the idea for 20 years then make a movie when they need more money.

Will watch this a little later, but someone tell me if I'm correct in predicting that Razor will say
"There's tons of reasons to hate Haley. She's a boomer neo-con. She's establishment. She's not Trump.
But Haley was completely right on that question. Civil war was not about slavery and anyone who thinks so is (long chain of alliterative insults.) The civil war was about STATES RIGHTS!! to own slaves."

This clip from the Simpsons's sums it up for me.

Having actually looked into the Civil War in highschool and seen references in games on GoG for example. States rights was the underlying factor. The economic factors of the southern states being highly reliant not just on slaves but on exporting to Europe and having to deal with taxes set in Washington. And this at a time where communications were mostly done with telegraphs. So they became angry at the Federal overreach, succeeded and then lost the war. Slavery is a revisionism done by modern lefties to include blacks in the narrative of founding America.
A reminder that the reason why state laws are so strong today in the US, to the point where in another video Razor explains that they're better than the Federal law, is because of the civil war and the post reconstruction phase.

I still don't get his hate boner for Lincoln. He's using all this as an excuse just to stomp on his hat again.

I never understood people like Danny-boy who keep on insisting that it was a states' rights matter, when the fucking secessionists themselves were talking about defending the institution of slavery as a right when they fucking seceded. It was their main source of money, the Southern aristocracy believed that there was nothing morally wrong with it, and the first thing they did when they seceded was write a new constitution that enshrined slavery as a permanent right. Those guys don't look like they're going to let go of slavery anytime soon, especially since, if they did win the Civil War, they'd have just fought a war to keep slavery legal. Yet Danny-boy will keep insisting that it was all about states' rights, while forgetting what they were using said rights for.

If you listen to Confederate apologists like Danny-boy, you'd think they were just one year away from banning slavery for good, but if you read about what the actual Confederates said on the matter, they were unapologetic about the fact that they're defending their right to own slaves. This is why they seceded not when the new president was all about federalism, but because the new president wanted to ban slavery in the western territories, and the South felt that restricted them because it meant no new slave states and they'll be outnumbered by free states that could easily outvote them on the slavery issue. They were also motivated to seceded after the North took a guy named John Brown who tried to start a slave riot and made him into a saint.

This is you brain on drugs. Danny-boy is such a libertarian that he's willing to deny history and the words of his own Confederate idols.

The issue with Danny is he seems to operate on some kinda "all-or-nothing" philosophy of sorts. Hence why in his "copyright is MORALLY good" vid a while back, he seemed to talk as if the only options were "current copyright allowing ownership for 100+ years" or "no copyright whatsoever." Honestly, I imagine there's a decent midpoint between the two, like it was in all the acts BEFORE the current 1978 one.
I imagine he's worried that without copyright, any retard might be able to do his shtick by throwing on a motorcycle jacket and talking like a motor-mouth.

It's like I said a while back when Danny first made his "Lincoln bad" video. The guy is basically so libertarian, he heard "States rights" and shut his ears off to pretty much everything else after that. Also doesn't help, that looking at his talking points, it's clear he pulled most of that shit from DiLorenzo and almost nothing else, since he raffles off everything from "Henry Dice Clay" to "Whigs" to "Lincoln wanted more power" to "Lincoln is the Devil" and mostly everything else. The guy didn't want to go slightly deeper into ANYTHING because like a retarded lol-bert, he heard 'states rights' and that was it. Honestly, dude should just join LPNH at this point; they seem to hate Lincoln for the same retarded beliefs too.

As for the whole "slavery" part of the Civil War bit, it's still the major factor but mainly because of the economic and political aspects of it. The morality of it didn't come to the front till 1863 with the Emancipation Proclamation (and even that had setbacks). The "states rights" was essentially regarding the practice of slavery, since the South essentially required slavery to run it's plantation economy and slave selling/buying was still a significant aspect of the market. It's also why the South was "slave states" while the North was "Free States" and much of the prelude to the Civil War was the two drawing lines, laws and new states so neither side could gain control over the other politically. However, the South was running out of new slave states and was worried they'd lose political power and economic power through lack of places to sell slaves to (since England and other buyers were outlawing slavery within their nations). End of the day, every reason given for the Civil War somehow ties back to slavery in some way or another; just as an institution, rather than (just) the morality of it.

 

[LaughJoke2.0]

Yeah, Danny is a nitwit the Civil War was about the expansion of Slavery, and all involved said so at the time it happened.

 

[LORD IMPERATOR]

Yeah, Danny is a nitwit the Civil War was about the expansion of Slavery, and all involved said so at the time it happened.

And the funny thing is, the North wasn't restricting slavery for shits and giggles. They wanted the jobs in the western territories to go to the white working class, not to slaves who don't work for a dime. They wanted free labor in those western territories so that the God-fearing, WASP Americans can get jobs there. The moment slave owners start showing up, their slaves take up all the jobs and there's nothing for white workers to do.

Danny-boy hates Lincoln so much that he forgot why Lincoln and the Republicans opposed the spread of slavery to the west; it was to protect the white working class and ensure there's jobs for them there. For a guy like Danny-boy who whines about immigrants, once again, you'd think he'd appreciate a party that was not only nativistic against foreigners, but also wanted to keep the job market in the western territories for white Americans.

Again, just like with Kojima, the Latinos, the Japanese, and JFK, if Razortits took an objective look at Lincoln and the policies of people like him, Danny-boy would come to realize that he and Lincoln would agree on a great many things. Kojima would agree with Danny-boy that the media and the military-industrial complex have negative effects upon society. JFK would share Danny-boy's hatred of Commies. The more traditional Latinos and the Japanese would share his disdain for SJWs. And Lincoln would agree with him that American jobs need to go to American citizens.

Razorfist is the kind of dork who would alienate people who'd agree with him just because he can't let go of a grudge. He can't let go of his grudges towards Kojima for MGS beating Thief. He can't let go of the fact that JFK became a Leftist martyr. He can't let go of the fact that Lincoln crushed the faction based on states' rights. He can't let go of the fact that Latino labor and Japanese media are encroaching on what he believed should be the domain of American media and labor. So even though these people would agree with him on a lot of things, he'd still hate their guts because he's a vindictive prick.

What was that about Razorfist quoting the Bible and larping as a Christian, again? Last I checked, you needed to be able to let go of your grudges to become a good Christian.

At this rate, I'm surprised Danny has yet to dawn the hood.

If it wasn't for Lincoln Danny would be able to own black men who'd be able to write a decent comic for him. Instead they are free and writing them for themselves and this is an injustice! It's Lincoln's fault all we get from him is shitty Thief and Deadwood fanfics.

Razorfist is currently gloating about various names on the Epstein docs. But conveniently ignoring Michael Jackson being name dropped.

Razor has an odd thing for defending black sex offenders who were popular in the 80s.

Asking Danny to let go of a grudge is like asking a dog to let go of a bone.

Fun fact about slavery: most whites were poor because they didn't have that many jobs down south. That's the consequence of labor being taken up by a large mass of people who work for free.

If it wasn't for Lincoln Danny would be able to own black men who'd be able to write a decent comic for him. Instead they are free and writing them for themselves and this is an injustice! It's Lincoln's fault all we get from him is shitty Thief and Deadwood fanfics.

If anything, he'd probably get pissed if they write a comic for him. Most black kids love anime, and they'd likely write anime-esque comics if they grow up, which would piss off Danny-boy.

Danny wishes he was a slave owner in the South.

He probably wouldn't. Just like in Rome, nine times out of ten, he wouldn't be one of those plantation owner types; he'd just be a poor white who can't get up the ladder because he doesn't have slaves.

Asking Danny to let go of a grudge is like asking a dog to let go of a bone.

Figured that out the hard way after I got tired of his ass always whining about weebs at a time when weeb culture is one of the last hold-outs against SJWs. He was still salty that Thief lost to MGS, that his digital DnD games didn't get as far as the JRPGs did, and that comic capeshit lost to manga and anime in terms of appealing to kids.

I really wonder if he even understands WHY the normies ran towards a lot of that weeb shit in the first place.

On top of which, given how much of the popular topics got infested with woke bullshit that essentially ruined a lot of it (look at 99.5% of the capeshit nowadays), I figure Danny should be ecstatic his niche hobbies aren't focused on in the mainstream, if only because it means he doesn't have to deal with people throwing stupid-ass bitchfits over it or people skinning it and wearing it like a skin-mask. I mean, right now, there's the constant shit happening in 40k from "Why no female space marines!?!?!" to "why is the woman I like in Rogue Trader not a lesbian!?!?!" or every fucking retard losing their shit because some character in manga ISN'T the woke ideal or whatever.
If I were him, I'd quietly hug my copies of Thief and VTM (old school; not newer stuff) and The Shadow and say "At least they haven't ruined you yet."

 

[ExistentialApathy]

I like Raz0rfist, I just wanted to color what I was going to say about him with that going in. I guess I'm part of that crowd that prefers his political commentary to his cultural stuff, generally speaking. I tend to agree with most of his political takes, and next to none when it comes to fandom shit.

His consistent pattern with media is mundane. He likes super heroes, but not the well-known or popualar ones, he prefers characters who have no powers but wear a costume anyway. He likes mecha, but not fun mecha because it's silly they zoom around fast, he prefers clunky shit like Battletech where the mechs slowly stomp around the field when sticking them on tank treads would be both faster and more stable. He likes fantasy, but generally low fantasy where the elements that make it fit the genre at all are limited and minimal. And I mean, alright. Taste is subjective, so it's whatever. But some takes do feel like he's taking them just to be a hipster about it. Like pushing French comics as if they're never pozzed and they don't often have dogshit art or stories.

I think he's largely abandoned the anti-anime stuff though, he's just picky about it. I think ironically that probably was the thing that had the biggest backlash of everything he's said.

I guess though my biggest issue with him has been his tendency to complain about woke media and woke games, then stream like every woke game and needless reboot and carry water for it. BG3 being the biggest example. I've heard him say in steam after stream essentially "Guys, it wasn't that bad. You can kill most of the trannies. You don't have to talk to the bear. If I was propositioned for gay sex I just stopped talking to the character, it's not that bad honestly. Super minimal, I swear." His most recent shit take though has been disputing the "go woke go broke" narrative and asserting it's just capeshit fatigue. I think it's actually bad movie fatigue. I don't think people decided to skip say Wish or Indiana Jones or D&D or the couple dozen other movies that bombed this year because they were specifically sick of comic books, I think people are sick of racial pandering, terrible scripts and character designs made to "challenge standards of beauty". He tried to argue Quantumania (which features a raceswapped villain, a subplot in which Hank Pym is cuckolded and Ant-Man passing the torch to his daughter) and the diversity squad of The Marvels were both "totally not woke." They just bombed because they're super hero movies. No Way Home and Guardians of the Galaxy cleaning up at the box office were just flukes I guess, and I'm sure his assertion that westerns will have a revival and replace superheroes has absolutely nothing to do with him publishing a western comic.

That said, doesn't he have a new girl? I've only heard him mention her like three times, but the first seemed pretty heartfelt and like he felt this time he'd met the one. But he's wisely opted to keep her completely separate from his online persona this time.

@The Fuck's Going On Here You are absolutely correct, but there was also a growing amount of federal overreach into Southern states which the south saw as the North (where the Federal government was concentrated) enforcing its will upon the South. And being frank the South was not incorrect to view it this way. Slavery was the core tenant of the Civil war, but it was merely a symptom of a far greater problem with Federal vs. States rights.

Slavery is wrong, but it becomes a game of "what is worse?". Is it worse to get rid of slavery, but the federal government has power to dictate laws for areas of the country whose people it doesn't know or care about? Or is it worse to keep slavery, but your states government has the power to oppose federal dictates that don't always (or even usually) have the best interest of the people who actually live there?

A lot, if not all, of our modern day problems within the US comes from massive federal overreach and said federal power being concentrated in the hands of a few on capital hill. Not that State governments cannot have similar problems, but dividing power between 50 semi-competitive states is always preferable to concentrating it to one non-competitive monolith in my books.

It sucks, because both sides are massively at fault and I wish they honestly just came to a peace agreement rather than one side winning unconditionally.

Returning to Razorfist, his black and white thinking completely taints whatever subject he talks about. He is simply incapable of acknowledging both sides were in the wrong, or at least he will throw a heavy amount of his own bias against or for whatever side he favors if he does admit there is some weakness to both sides.

And being frank the South was not incorrect to view it this way. Slavery was the core tenant of the Civil war, but it was merely a symptom of a far greater problem with Federal vs. States rights.

Incorrect. The South was OK with overreaching federal power so long as it was on their side. It wasn't that long before the civil war that the South used its influence in DC to pass the Fugitive Slave Law and have the Federal Government to confiscate escaped slaves trying to run away to the North; hence why some slaves had to flee farther up north to British Canada. The South basically used the Federal government to violate the North's sovereignty just to retake lost property. But when slavery was being restricted from the territories because white Northerners wanted those territories to have jobs for free white citizens instead of slaves, the South threw a hissy-fit.

The very same people yelling about ''states' rights'' were the first to use the Feds to violate said rights when their property ran away. This is why every ''states' rights'' argument coming from the South was nothing short of sheer hypocrisy; they were more than OK when the sovereignty of Northern states was getting violated by the Federal Government; then when the pendulum swung their way and the Feds forbade them from taking their property to the West, they started crying like babies and started calling for secession.

I really wonder if he even understands WHY the normies ran towards a lot of that weeb shit in the first place.

Normies made a beeline for weeb shit because it's not afraid to tackle violence and sexuality from a perspective not controlled by misguided religious zealots or SJWs. I still remember when the Pope blessed Pokemon and I wondered why, then I found out it was to counter a lot of evangelicals calling it demonic. Now, the fact that anime chicks are still beautiful and aren't afraid to bear their tits make it offensive to feminists, but that in turn makes it appealing to people who are tired of the west's attempts to make ''strong female characters''.

On top of which, given how much of the popular topics got infested with woke bullshit that essentially ruined a lot of it (look at 99.5% of the capeshit nowadays), I figure Danny should be ecstatic his niche hobbies aren't focused on in the mainstream, if only because it means he doesn't have to deal with people throwing stupid-ass bitchfits over it or people skinning it and wearing it like a skin-mask.

Like I said, Danny-boy doesn't count his blessings. If he really wants to keep the stuff he loves free from SJW tinkering, the best thing to do is to leave it be and keep it obscure. Everything from capeshit to Star Wars has been infected by the woke bug because it was popular. The last thing Danny-boy should want is to see things like Elric, the Shadow, or Thief become popular at a time like this.

@ExistentialApathy

His consistent pattern with media is mundane. He likes super heroes, but not the well-known or popualar ones, he prefers characters who have no powers but wear a costume anyway.

But some takes do feel like he's taking them just to be a hipster about it. Like pushing French comics as if they're never pozzed and they don't often have dogshit art or stories.

It just feels like his takes are old-school but not in a good way. For example, the Battletech mechs, he likes them slow and stomping around, even though mecha as a genre has moved on from that and part of what makes a robot more valuable than a jet fighter or a tank is that it can move around quickly despite having the firepower of a battleship, or that it can transform from a high-speed jet or land vehicle into a robot that can smash things. The old-school mechs he loves so much would get smashed into pieces by the mecha of modern day.

I guess though my biggest issue with him has been his tendency to complain about woke media and woke games, then stream like every woke game and needless reboot and carry water for it. BG3 being the biggest example. I've heard him say in steam after stream essentially "Guys, it wasn't that bad. You can kill most of the trannies. You don't have to talk to the bear. If I was propositioned for gay sex I just stopped talking to the character, it's not that bad honestly. Super minimal, I swear."

Of course he'd carry water for BG3. It's a WRPG that echoes a lot of DnD systems; he'd carry water for it even if it had dancing trannies who are portrayed as the unquestionable good guys despite spending all their time screaming about how bad capitalism and the patriarchy are. The man would cheer on a digital DnD game that's woke as hell while blasting a JRPG that relies on fanservice and pulse-pounding action that the fans want. This despite trying to portray himself as an enemy of all things woke. This is one of the reasons why I'm no longer a fan of his; he's inconsistent as fuck. At least Spoony was consistent in what he loved or hated.

His most recent shit take though has been disputing the "go woke go broke" narrative and asserting it's just capeshit fatigue. I think it's actually bad movie fatigue. I don't think people decided to skip say Wish or Indiana Jones or D&D or the couple dozen other movies that bombed this year because they were specifically sick of comic books, I think people are sick of racial pandering, terrible scripts and character designs made to "challenge standards of beauty". He tried to argue Quantumania (which features a raceswapped villain, a subplot in which Hank Pym is cuckolded and Ant-Man passing the torch to his daughter) and the diversity squad of The Marvels were both "totally not woke." They just bombed because they're super hero movies. No Way Home and Guardians of the Galaxy cleaning up at the box office were just flukes I guess, and I'm sure his assertion that westerns will have a revival and replace superheroes has absolutely nothing to do with him publishing a western comic.

Invincible and The Boys show that there's still love for capeshit works that try new things. Meanwhile, Star Wars, which isn't capeshit, has fans fatigued from the series because they're tired of Disney forcing Feminism and Dave Filoni's childish writing down their throats. Danny-boy wants to sell the capeshit fatigue narrative so much that he's willing to ignore the fact that Amazon is still making money hand-over-fist with caped superheroes. Sure, Superman and Batman are no longer as popular as they once were, but Omni-Man and Homelander are still popular the way Tywin Lannister was back in 2014.

Meanwhile, the SW fans are getting tired of the Mandalorian and Baby Yoda, especially when Mando chickened out and handed over the Darksaber to the female Mandalorian leader who's progressive and modernist, only for the saber to get destroyed by Space Gustavo. Ahsoka had a lukewarm reception due to some lackluster plots, especially near the end of the first season. It's not a capeshit thing. It's a woke thing. Capeshit can still make money if it hands in something fresh.

If we want to continue talking about the Civil War, figure this'd be the best place to do so, just like last time the Civil War stuff was brought up, back when Danny made his "Lincoln is the Devil!" video.

Normies made a beeline for weeb shit because it's not afraid to tackle violence and sexuality from a perspective not controlled by misguided religious zealots or SJWs. I still remember when the Pope blessed Pokemon and I wondered why, then I found out it was to counter a lot of evangelicals calling it demonic. Now, the fact that anime chicks are still beautiful and aren't afraid to bear their tits make it offensive to feminists, but that in turn makes it appealing to people who are tired of the west's attempts to make ''strong female characters''.

I also think normies made a beeline for stuff that was quite easy to understand and get into; right around the same time that mainstream shit like Big Bang Theory made nerd-stuff "cool". It's why so many people going for DnD talk about 5th edition (because it's easier to get into) over 3rd/3.5 (which seems to be what many of the hardcore fans like), or when it comes to cape-shit or Star Wars, normies stick to movies or whatever is on Netflix. You don't see these guys talk that much about deep star wars lore or any of the old as hell Star Wars games that no one really remembers like Rogue Squadron or whatever.
And that makes sense because normies are essentially tourists in a genre, just there to consume whatever is at the top of the mountain; not really dig deep within it. And for that, the stuff at the top of the mountain had better be comparatively easy and accessible to use as well as very titillating. Something which can be said about MGS (lot of alerts and forgiveness) compared to Thief, JRPGs compared to things like Shadowrun or even Deus Ex to an extent, and Japanese anime compared to Marvel/DC (until the movies, I doubt most of these people had even HEARD of characters like Ronan the Accuser, Malekeith, the Iron Monger, etc. Also, the usual question of "where should I start for anime" is easily answered with "issue 1", which can't really be said for western capeshit.)

Danny should understand that for people to LIKE his topics of interest, they'd have to be broken down and simplified to an extent that a retard could access them and at least understand the mechanics behind them (case in point, Baldur's Gate 3). But doing that would likely make those very things pretty un-fun for him. So he's gonna have to choose between the so-called "fan's dilemma". Either your favorite stuff gets popular, in which case, you have to deal with a fuckload of tourists who don't know shit about the deeper intricacies of the franchise, but act like they're "true fans."; OR you deal with like-minded fans who've dug in deep like you, but your topic doesn't have as much popularity.

@The Fuck's Going On Here
You'd think the recent SJW invasion of the DnD space would've given Razor the warning he needs about how anything popular gets pozzed. But no, he's still promoting the stuff he likes and he's trying to make them catch on, which, if he succeeds, means that those things will get pozzed to hell and back once the big boys learn that things like Noir and Thief are popular thanks to some dipshit with a mid-sized fanbase running his mouth.

DnD is as autistic and nerdy as you can get when it comes to hobbies; not as easy to get in as video games, or as accessible as regular board games, but when it hit big, the SJW club came for it nonetheless. It doesn't matter that its main playerbase isn't partial to SJWs, all they needed to do was to have a little talk with Hasbro and here we are. Same thing is happening to Warhammer 40K; the more it gets popular, the more the SJW club wants to control it and kick out all the ''wrong'' people. That should serve as a warning to Danny-boy; anything that becomes popular enough gets pozzed to hell and back, even if the audience doesn't want it, because the companies that run these things want good press with SJWs.

And the funny thing is, some of the people that Danny-boy idolize are all for it. The French and Michael Moorcock have no problem selling out to the SJWs, and he's basically cheerleading for Baldur's Gate 3, despite the fact that the devs are pozzed to hell and back. The moment he tries to get in bed with them, he's going to get his ass whooped by people who have no problems with cancel culture and the SJW agenda that Danny-boy hates. The fact that he keeps on cheerleading for Trump means that the people who make the stuff he loves will tan his hide if they so much as see his face.

It's so funny to see Danny-boy cheerlead for hobbies and works whose owners/authors are very much on the Left-leaning side. Moorcock especially; he fucking hates Tolkien for being conservative; and yet Danny-boy sings praises for Moorcock's Elric Saga. And we've yet to see him recognize the fact that Elric's creator would reject conservatives like him. He whines about anime and manga being pozzed because it has gays and lesbians; never mind the fact that the gays in anime exist to titillate straight audience members, whereas something like Baldur's Gate is pozzed for the sake of the pozzed.

You have to remember that Raz0r is in fact a fan of the things he likes. All fans, deep down, do want to share their interests with others and get other people into them. He really does want people to enjoy these things for what they are, and there's nothing wrong with that. In Raz0r's case, doubly so, because he feels like a lot of things he likes haven't gotten the respect they deserve for how seminal they are. At this point we're basically complaining that Raz0r likes things and likes to talk about what he likes. That being said, Raz0r has openly expressed that he supports gatekeeping, and is very much a supporter of keeping fake fans and posers out. He has also openly opposed woke infiltration of things he's a fan of, like Battletech and World of Darkness, and called out the companies that owned the IP for pushing woke bullshit, so its not like he mindlessly fellates what he like or doesn't see the risks of woke infiltration.

That's the problem; if he is a fan of the things he likes, he should do what he can to keep the woke bug from infecting the shit he likes, if he doesn't want them to be turned into hollow copies of what they once were. Like, look at what happened to Star Wars. Or Marvel. Or DnD. Look at what's happening to 40K now. No amount of gatekeeping is going to work when the companies who own this shit have no problems working with SJWs and can just as easily say that they're doing woke stuff just because the SJWs have a franchise in their crosshairs. Gatekeeping didn't work for comics fans, it didn't work for SW fans, and it didn't work for DnD fans. The only way to keep said companies from exposing these franchises to the woke bug is by convincing them that it's not worth it.

Star Wars fans told the SJWs to go to hell, yet that didn't stop Disney from turning the franchise into an agitprop for SJW nonsense, tailoring the entire franchise to appeal to SJWs and normies who watch the TV shows to the exclusion of everyone else. Same thing happened with DnD and Hasbro. Maybe if this was the pre-woke years I'd understand Danny-boy promoting the shit he likes, but in a time like this, when most companies are hungry for ESG money and are willing to sell their souls for it, the moment something becomes popular, the moment the SJWs clamor for something to be inclusive and woke, is the very same moment the company says ''yes'' and makes it woke.

In another time, I'd be promoting the Star Wars Expanded Universe left and right to normies, trying to get them to read books about Naga Sadow or Darth Bane. But now, I'm actually glad it's dead and buried; I don't want to see Revan or Mara Jade turned into something they're not; Thrawn already suffered that fate and I'd rather not let other things I enjoyed in the past be ruined by modern writers who wouldn't know how to write a goddamn kids' comic book, let alone a sci-fi adventure made for both kids and adults.

No one in the last 70 years has taken more homes from blacks than Northern Democrats and SJWs in the name of Urban Renewal and Gentrification. Hell, Blacks use to call Urban Renewal Negro Removal. That's why I call the invasion of SJWs into Sci-Fi and Fantasy Properties Nerd Gentrification. The sad thing is many of these fanbases were the low end of the social totem pole who found a community that embraced them only to now be thrown out of because they're not "Cool Enough". & for all the calls, for "Diversity" they're usually whiter than a Klan event with there being if you're lucky a few token POCs and the bulk being ugly bitches with purple or blue hair who now claim to be "non-binary", some fags in dresses, and some white beta cucks.

Exactly. The very same people that call for diversity now were once the cool kids who thought that nerd hobbies were too pathetic for them to imbibe in. But the nerd hobbies grew big enough to outpace Hollywood in profits, so of course, the SJWs and the Leftist cliques of elites decided to check out why people would spend hours playing DnD and video games, or why they'd spend fortunes reading books from Star Wars and other franchises. And the result is the crap we see today, where Left-leaning critics and ''fans'' act like they own the place. And no amount of gatekeeping on behalf of the fans kept these losers out. Obscurity was the nerd hobbies' only real defense, and when it drifted away, the inevitable co-opting of nerd hobbies happened.

Sometimes, I wish for the days back then when these elites saw nerd hobbies like gaming as way beneath them. Gaming was made for gamers, by gamers, and it was a fun time for the gamers. Sure, there was still shit in there, but at least back then, it was more of them making mistakes in things like storytelling and game design instead of them openly hating the fans. Those Left-leaning degenerates who screamed about the patriarchy and how oppressive family and religion were simply left us alone while they engaged in their slap-fights against the religious conservatives. The years before ''Nerd Gentrification'' were the golden age for nerd hobbies.

Nowadays, we have no such luck. Everything from sci-fi, to comics, to roleplaying games, it's all been adjusted to appease an audience that at best, represented a minority of fans, and at worst, represented people who hated the fans. And anything that wasn't being turned into an SJW agitprop was instead turned into some live service bullshit where you just keep tossing dollars in to win, leading to an epidemic of kids using daddy's credit card because they need to win so they look good in school among their classmates. You either have extreme socialism or extreme capitalism; these are the two results that come from something becoming famous. And it's basically a pain in the ass for fans of these franchises from previous decades who enjoyed them when they were nerd hobbies made for nerds, by nerds.

That's why I mock Danny-boy for promoting his niche tastes online at a time like this. The stuff he promotes are usually owned by left-leaning people who have no problems bending over backwards for the woke crowd that Danny-boy professes to hate. So if things like the Elric Saga, westerns, or noir films become famous again, more likely they'll be used to make left-leaning media to bring forth the kind of message that Razorfist would oppose. Like say, a western where the WASPs are the bad guys and the protagonist is some gay Latina chick who blows them away with a sawed-off shotgun. Or a noir film about how abusive traditional male authority figures are towards women. Or Elric in a new work lambasting traditional sources of authority like kings or religions, the way his author intended.

Why no female space marines!?!?!" to "why is the woman I like in Rogue Trader not a lesbian!?!?!" or every fucking retard losing their shit because some character in manga ISN'T the woke ideal or whatever.

He has also openly opposed woke infiltration of things he's a fan of, like Battletech and World of Darkness, and called out the companies that owned the IP for pushing woke bullshit, so its not like he mindlessly fellates what he like or doesn't see the risks of woke infiltratio

Danny hates Warhammer 40K for being more popular than Trannytech. He hates Warhammer fans, yet they have been gatekeeping the SJW freaks games workshop panders too long before Gamergate happened. Look at Warhammer steam forum. It’s full of D&D 5E players, trannies and furries crying over Warhammer 40K and fantasy being pro-fascism that don’t award being good.
