Razorfist bitching about gooners in this so-called "Goonergate" situation goes to show that he's just doing it for clout. I mean, gooners are one of the most pathetic targets to go after. These are people who just want to enjoy sexy art for whatever reason; and given that buying homes and rearing children are excessively expensive nowadays, there's a need for these people to expel that excess sexual energy, and gooning is one of them. It's not an ideal solution, but it's one that we have. In a more ideal time, you can just insult the gooners, tell them to get real pussy, and they go dating, get married, and have kids the way God intended. But that's not so easy in a time like this, where childcare costs and the price of homes have gone out of control, with the latter thanks to predatory firms buying homes and jacking up prices beyond reason.
It's an ugly reality that needs a complex mind to tackle it, but Razor has chosen the simple-minded route for the sake of clout, which goes to show that not only is he a political whore, but he's also simple-minded as well. No wonder he divides everything into two categories: "things he loves" and "things he hates". The former has heavy metal, Thief, the Elric Saga, CRPGs, DnD, and Trump, the latter has Kojima's games, JRPGs, anime, FromSoftware games, and anything that reeks of caring for the poor.
Oh, no doubt. I kinda get the feeling that as the woke Left slowly dies out, the moralists of the Right are sniffing out for the chance on when they can usurp the position of "moral shot-caller of society"; and as we all know, that always becomes most apparent when entertainment is concerned.
Woke right is a fucking retarded phrase that means absolutely nothing and shouldn't be used.
No, you're just mad Woke Right is becoming a thing.
Woke right has been a thing as far back as the 1980s, where cartoons were not allowed to show death on TV. Hell, one could say it stretches back to the 50s when they forbade comics from showing anything more complex or mature than kiddie superhero stories. And it's always annoying as fuck, especially when you look at the literary titans of conservative thought like the Bible and the Greek mythologies, as well as history texts, and they make Game of Thrones look like a kid's fairy tale. Shit, just crack open a book on Christian history, and you'll get a story that's far more complex than A Song of Ice and Fire.
Tbf, the current day meanings of "conservative" and "liberal" within the american perspective have been stretched harder than Mr. Fantastic nowadays. Given that the idea of "I don't want to be a drug-addicted degen living in a small apartment with 5 others, I want a normal family with a wife and kids" is being considered by many to be a "conservative idea".
Because of that, people who I'd consider to more liberal or at least libertarian are being lumped in as "conservative", simply because they're not retarded leftists.
Your typical conservative idolizes the Confederate South and its "States' Rights" attitude; they would be horrified by Heinlein's centralized military state if it ever came into being in real life. Not to mention that most conservatives wish to preserve civilization as much as possible and value religion, whereas Conan doesn't give a fuck about civilization and barely gives a fuck about religion. Neither Heinlein's world nor Conan's can appeal to conservatives. The former peddles the idea that a military nanny-state is a good thing, the latter idolizes a hero who sees civilization as unnatural and religion as a joke. Both ideas would horrify conservatives today.
And there's nothing wrong with putting things in comics or writing for shock value it was just her being an annoying feminist mediocre comics writer trying to get a foot in the door which of which should have been slammed repeatedly until with mush and then her kicked out of the door because her comic books are God awful and she can't write.
"Fridging" is a lazy-ass trope of killing a female character just for shock value. That's not a sex thing, that's just a "writers are lazy" thing, and given how bad comic writing got in the 90s and 2000s, yes, there were a lot of lazy comic tropes, and "fridging" a female love interest for a male superhero was one of them. It goes to show that the author has nothing to do with a character they wanted you to think was important, so they killed her off to generate cheap shock value.
Sex negative feminists were 100% a thing in the 1970s and 80s they were actually very large force in 1970s and 80s so much so that during that time period they tried to team up with conservatives to ban porn.
Whose side do you think the Second-Wave feminists were on during the Sexual Revolution? The fuddy-duddy religious conservatives who wanted to keep it all wrapped up? No. They wanted women to have the right to sleep with whoever they wanted. They were very sex-positive and they were very much on the side of the degenerates. Hence why the conservatives hated them; abortion was hardly the only thing they butted heads over.
In fact, you wanna know why there was such a push in cable networks to have hot females in all sorts of media, from comics, to movies, and even in kids' cartoons? It was meant to seduce young boys to break down the patriarchy and destroy the family structure. That's why they supported gooning back then. But it didn't produce the desired result; the gooners eventually wanted to graduate to becoming fathers, so the feminists switched tactics from being sex-positive in the Second Wave, to Third-Wave Feminism being sex-negative.
Also, thanks for admitting that yes, conservatives want to ban explicit material. They also wanted DnD banned because they thought it was demonic; something the liberals obviously didn't care about because they didn't care about the metaphysical.
Melanie Mac and Matt Walsh are indeed pulling the same religious Right playbook of hating on media they don't like by calling it devil worship or sexism. Just because neutral behavior is now Right wing doesn't mean the Woke Right isn't pulling the same dumb shit they did in the 80s and 90s.
Matt Walsh is an embarrassment to the Catholic Right; the only thing I can say as a Catholic is that I don't want him to be identified as the face of Catholicism among the youth. Melanie Mac, I know less about, but her bitching about gooners is fucking stupid when gooners don't harm anyone; just let them goon in peace. Eventually, they'll want a piece of real ass, and you can then push them to go dating and start a family the way God wants them to.
