NeoGAF & ResetERA - The Hilarious N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Splintering "Gaming" Forum Circus

[Alec Benson Leary]

I'd suggest he ask them if the lefties who want to censor art in museums are alt-right too, but I expect that'd just get him a ban for "making a bad faith argument".

Also in my experience /lit/ is more about smug contrarianism (like the rest of the site) and more about referencing as estoric texts as possible to seem smart. Be it Evola or some random writing on hexasim. Whatever makes you bigger brain then the others.

Jeeesus Christ, I never thought I would see the day when people would claim that Fahrenheit 451 is dangerous.

Like holy shit, they're at this stage where a book basically preaches the dangers of getting rid of books and is considered to be the prime anti-censorship book is something that should be avoided because only those evil alt-righters like it. And they're saying the same for 1984.

Then again those books also highly encourage individualism and the ability to think for yourself, and considering the hive mind REEEsetEra is, it kinda makes sense why they would hate those books. Doesn't make it less disturbing.

It's also because they're of the mindset that depiction = endorsement. So it doesn't matter what the books have to say about the negative things they portray, whether they're condemned in the text or not, because they show it. And that's enough for them to be bad.

It's a surprisingly common thought process for a certain kind of SJW.

Isn't the whole reason things are censored in Fahrenheit 451 is because people want censorship. These people are literally acting out the plot of the book...And that is both sad and infuriating.

They don't even need a script to recite the propaganda. It's been entirely programmed into them.

To follow the book's plot, once Era inevitably collapses, I imagine Nicole and her disciples wandering around in the proverbial forest, reciting things like "trans women are women" and "intent doesn't matter" for the rest of their lives.

Nicole will join the 48%.

 

[Fagnacious D]

The doublethink is rather creepy if you ask me.

In fact, just to point out another bit of creepy hypocrisy, these people are masters of blackwhite, or the belief that black is white when their ideology calls for them to say as much.

Spoiler: This is :offtopic: but allow me to interject for a moment

The whole "Fahrenheit 451 is about censorship" thing is kinda bullshit. Bradbury was rather technophobic, there are some interviews where he expressed concerns about people watching TV and listening to music with headphones more than engaging in meaningful activities like talking to other people or reading books. There was even a case of him getting outraged at college students at a lecture he was a guest in saying his book was about censorship. The Fahrenheit 451 world is a world where people chose vapid instant gratification and push away any discomforting, uncomfortable facts. Because, you know, reading books automatically makes you an open-minded thinker.

Alt-right loves dystopian novels because they're in political fringe, discontent with status quo and convinced it will bring an end to western civilization. So naturally they're driven to stories like this.

What you wrote here is exactly what everyone I have heard bring the book up is talking about - there are obvious parallels between the modern west and a society where instant gratification and comfort are king and anything that challenges you or your world view is subject to censorship. I don't know what Bradbury thinks the book is about or why, but this seems like some sort of word game or pedantry about the word censorship, because it sure looks like censorship is a theme to me.

Well, the problem is that he blames technology for it. Not people, not politics, but portable radios and fast cars. As if hedonism and myopia didn't exist until invention of electricity.

I smell a pathetic virgin trying to get some virtua pussy via self-flagellation on the web. Won't work, buddy.

In this case, though, the actual concepts behind the books are what they detest. They are literally a pack of book-burning Nazis, so anything criticizing book-burning Nazis upsets them.

Hate group, huh?

Considering the profound lack of violence and defamation done by the mass majority of autists in GamerGate versus these idiots, that's pretty rich.

But I'm not surprised. After all, pedophiles, anarchists, political terrorists, and people who advocate anyone white be persecuted and even murdered are lauded as heroes by these imbeciles, so that's par for the course.

Because they speak the same language, albeit one made up of words only they understand, which are gibberish to anyone with any sense.

It sometimes bothers me that I've read enough crap from these lunatics that I can actually understand their fucking gibberish.

Gamergate literally did nothing wrong. That is clear.

i think gaemergtae was a pretty cool guy. eh butthurt people so bad they'll die 50 years from now whining about it on their deathbed. and he never, once, ever afraid of anything.

 

[Slap47]

The zero-tolerance view on gamergate is a strange one. It should be very blatantly obvious to that gamergate means different things to different people. Guy obviously isn't in favor of "harassment".

A historian is going to have a fun time debunking all of the nonsense said about Gamergate. I'm almost certain that it's going to be a thing people talk about for decades.
