Saw Avatar The Legend of Korra was trending which brought out people defending the show.

What the fuck are they talking about there? Korra being immature was the least of the show's issues -- at least in the first season. In the following ones she really should have grown up a tad. You want to talk things to hate that cartoon over?

(Time for a bit of MATI.)

Try the tacked-on teenage love triangles, the overstretched story, the squashing of Last Airbender's worldbuilding for the sake of Roaring Twenties New York, the not-one-but-two SUDDENLY EVANGELION season finale battles, Tibetan Monks being turned into Superhero UN Peacekeepers, and the almost fetishistic glee the writers took in torturing the protagonist at every turn. But nope. Brown-skinned girl protagonist and a cowardly implied lesbian relationship at the end means the show is above criticism, apparently.

All snark aside, this was hard to read; it was so chaotic and unrestrained, like the writer was having three arguments at once. What is it about lesbians that makes people frothing at the mouth crazy?

Troons. Have troons, have loons. Troons fetishize everything related to lesbians and since the vast majority are straight men they call themselves lesbians too. Even though many troons fail at getting lesbians to suck their girldicks so their "lesbian relationships" are just two hairy dudes in dresses.

So ethical chasing those buffaloes off of cliffs and dragging what you can carry leaving the rest to rot. Setting fires to forests to burn out your enemies. Such a majestic people.

AKSHUALLY, when the Injuns and Abbos set bushfires, they used it to smoke out game and encourage more of the plants they liked to gather. They did it for so long they permanently altered the environment, and then when whitey showed up with smallpox and they all died so nobody was burning the land anymore, the land became full of brush and trees so the damage/risk of wildfires increased. That's why controlled burns are increasingly popular for preventing wildfires.

Character from Japanese media: *created explicitly as a scathing criticism of Japanese gender roles and attitudes towards masculinity/femininity*

Exceptional Individuals on Twitter and Tumblr: This character is gay and trans and that is the only possible interpretation. We will harass you and label you a bigot if you say otherwise.

From everything I've read of a series of games I've never played, the Persona games seem to feature well-drawn psychological portraits involving a decently complex view of their motivations and insecurities. And, as per usual, the extremely surface-level SJW/troon types just see what they want to see, regardless of being explicitly told otherwise, because their whole ideology is based on 'things are what they look like - or try to look like'.

I get annoyed at just how fucking shallow they are, and yet their perspective gets treated as having value simply because 'oppression'. Their vapidity doesn't surprise me, but that anyone out of their cult can take their opinions seriously does.

Warhammer. The fact that there no "good" characters or factions in either Fantasy or 40k for them to Mary Sue as is usually a big turn off for their sort. Also there's the fact that GeeDubs rarely ever listens to the input of their own consumer base, let alone those of some neon haired freaks outside of it in the first place.

Couldn't they Mary Sue the Tau? "For the greater good" sounds right up their alley.

since a certain someone is back in the gaming news, this was one of my discussion questions

3) Watch this short video on the Bechdel Test.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLF6sAAMb4s&spfreload=10
Think about the movies you watched when you were an adolescent. Do they pass the test? Think about the movies you watch now. Do they pass? How does this phenomenon affect adolescents? What can teachers do to promote gender equity in their class?

Here's my response:
The movies that I saw when I was little most likely did not pass the Bechdel Test. I don't think a valuable measure of movies should be based on an old comic strip. When it comes to the Bechdel Test, I think it is an arbitrary test that doesn't measure quality. While Once Upon a Time In Hollywood and On the Basis of Sex pass the test, Pacific Rim: Uprising and Transformers (2007) also pass the test. If a scene includes at least two women talking about clothes, shopping, makeup, or anything else stereotypically girly, it could also technically pass as well. I don't think it would create a major effect on children, more likely they would remember a character's action in a movie and how it affects the story. When it comes to gender equity in the classroom, I think teachers should provide more opportunities for students to contribute in class. In one experience of mine in class, a teacher had a coffee can full of popsicle sticks with each student's name on it to be picked at random so all students have an equal opportunity to contribute and they all had to be prepared say something.

I had some responses:

"I do agree with you that some movies might pass the Bechdel test, but may not have the quality of female characters and relationships that one would hope to see, especially if the interactions portrayed play into typical gender stereotypes."

"The Bechdel Test isn't necessarily a measure of quality, it is a measure of woman presence in the film. For instance, going through movies I like, and plan to watch, only a few had female main characters, and less had women on their cover or posters."

Jesus christ, is that comic the 1980s version of Tumblr art?

White guilt is like that one WarGames quote, "The only winning move is not to play."
Click to expand...
That's the only winning strategy! Having once been one myself, I can safely say that there is no dignity in being a self-hating white person. Minorities will hate you no matter what. Especially blacks. Whether online or offline, self-hating whites think being unconditionally submissive to minorities will make them "one of the good ones." Naturally, black nationalists don't give a fuck if you're on their side or not. If you're white, you're the villain like you guys are saying.

The Tau are not the poster-boys for the series, so there’s little point in “su-ing” them, since those with only casual knowledge of 40k will probably not know them. Most people know the Space Marines, even if they don’t follow the series, but they can’t really Sue them due to the religious angle (among other reasons).

Besides being a tiny faction in the greater scheme of things, the Tau also have an oppressive class system and use primitive cannibalistic "auxiliaries" as cannon fodder. Among other things. Yeah, no point in trying to Mary Sue-ing them.
 
The big reason why these people are unable to find much appeal in Su-ing in Warhammer is that their idea of being a Mary Sue is to be entirely righteous and flawless. Warhammer as a setting is designed to take the righteous and flawless into a dark alley then proceed to rape, kill and eat it, not necessarily in that exact order

A combination of negative personal experiences, learning about history, and current events. I singled out black people in my previous post because they're the ones I've had the most negative experiences with. American Indians come in second. Latinos, Polynesians, and Asians can be racist against whites too, but, at least from my personal experiences, they tend not to be as spiteful about it as blacks and American Indians. They also seem to fairly distribute their racism against anyone who's not a part of their groups, as in they don't exclusively focus all their hate on white people. With blacks and American Indians, enough is never enough as some others have pointed out here. You could give them the world and they would still call you a racist.

There's a lot more I'd like to explain, but I don't want to go overboard and make this post longer than it needs to be.

In addition to the points above, remember that the Tau are basically space commies, and while probably the nicest government to live under in 40k as a nobody, the grimdark setting means they get their share of being shown evil. Pheremonal mind control, rigid caste system, some aspects of the warrior culture -- pretty tame for WH40k. I know they don't actually know anything about the setting and just want to cosplay sexy space marines, but still. TBH I can read the Tau as a subtle jab at SJWs if I really squint at it, or at least how idealism fares under grimdark.

I'd be interested to hear more about this (especially the learning about history given all the revisionism in both pop culture and academia). I want to learn more about cults that overtake much of the mainstream culture and how people get out/resist them.

The big thing is that your average well-adjusted black/native/etc. By and large do find the whole white guilt stuff to be nothing more than a bunch of useless masterbatory tryhard grandstanding. The ones that don't and try to egg you on about it do so purely because they get something out of it, whether it's monetary gain or schadenfreude from watching you beg and squirm

In any event, good to see you broke out of that bullshit
