CNN: Rep. Brooks: Dems' 'war on whites' behind some criticism of Sessions
Wonderful.
Glad to see Mo is at the forefront of using coded terminology to appeal to the white genocide folks. Alabama once again demonstrating why they are locked into a dead heat of dumbassery with Mississippi.
The president's about to be a white supremacist
eat a dick brooks
This is how lot of people think. That a minority standing up for themselves is an assault on white people.
Their idea of unity is blacks meek and quiet, latinos across the border, and LGBT not existing.
When Obama said "Trayvon would have looked like my son", a lot of people felt betrayed
The way white people are more and more comfortable identifying with their whiteness in ways that mirror legitimately oppressed groups and their recent apathy toward/disdain for accusations of racism is really troubling. There was always that faction, but now it seems like anyone who's white and conservative wants to "take their country back" and doesn't care if you call them racist.
So non-white racial collectivism is okay, but white racial collectivism isn't?

Love that it made all of NeoGAF's wrongthinkers come out of the woodwork to do a victory dance.

42 pages (and counting) of this shit? Really? Do these people have time to actually game somewhere in there?
Are they no longer doing the mass-banning thing? I've only heard about that and not seen it happen real-time. Had my hopes up when I started reading those first two or three pages, though.
However, If you look at the most recent couple of pages it seems to have returned to typical NeoGaf. Something-something Japanese cartoon characters dressing themselves having agency and not being icky pooh Western created male eye candy like Harley Quinn, because, reasons. But it is also totes okay if the western localizations of Japanese games get more clothing because, feminism. I would think being a weeb and a feminist would be a very difficult thing to pull off, but apparently not. Go figure.
(can't bring myself to say President....)
Anyway, in the other thread, I mentioned that on Friday my mom is going to work dressed in all black (as a show of mourning) and refusing to watch a single minute of coverage, which is a great idea. Can't give that guy ratings! I've considered doing a blackout myself. I chuckled when she told me she was going to work in all black, but now I may actually do the same, lol (in addition to the coverage blackout). I need a black dress shirt though....
Anyway, I'm sure many others will be marching or protesting in other ways. So how will you be protesting the inauguration of our next *gulp* president?
I'm not watching the inauguration, I'm not seeing the televised death of decency in the country.
I'm not calling him "President Trump" either. I got plenty of names. Orange Asshole, Comrade Cheeto, Lying Shitsack, Ill-tanned Manbaby, Thinskinned Fuckwad, plenty of extremely descriptive names I can use. He's not my president and never will be.
I'm unfortunately here in D.C. working right now. The sight of the MAGA "concert" stage being built in front of the Lincoln Memorial makes me want to vomit every time I pass it.
While I know I should hide out in my hotel that day considering I've already encountered some crazies here (two men made a comment toward me last night while I was out walking), I know my curiosity is going to get the better of me at some point. I bet I'll go walk around just to see the trash that comes into the city to celebrate him for at least a little while.
I wish I could join my friends at the march the following day, but I'll have to work most of it. I'm still going to volunteer somewhere before and potentially after.
Probably going to the protests and marches. And what inauguration?. Normally a new president is inaugurated around this time. Some asshole is coincidentally holding an event on Friday.
https://archive.is/Ouo9b"He has been democratically elected"
he lost by 3 million votes
"Americans have to respect that and try to win back in four years if they're not happy with him."
I'm not respecting anyone who calls me a criminal drug peddling rapist
Trump can choke on my balls
So I just got into a conversation with two of my employees that are trump supporters and while I have an issue with that it's not what bother me the most. When racism was brought up I mentioned that trump never disavowed the KKK and talked about the negativity it brings, they went straight to how "at least he doesn't condone and encourage the killing of cops."
Seriously WTF!? I had to walk away at this point. I don't know what else to say/do. Just mentioned that I won't bring up politics with them anymore.
At my work we fire them. Don't need bigots in healthcare.
As a teacher for instance I would actively work to get any colleague of mine fired if I knew they were supporters of the BNP as there is no way they can reconcile their racist views with the modern reality of the classroom.
When one political party supports policies that actively harm millions, it's not a disagreement. It'd be wrong not to can their asses.
I don't care whether people disagree. If a person can use the term "men/man" distinct from "male" but are unable to even afford the same consistency with "women/woman" and "female" then they are automatically suspect as holding sexist views whether they're conscious or not. If they're at least consistent in their obnoxious lexicon than that's slightly different. But I've yet to encounter an individual who says "to the males and females".
If they are ACTUAL Alt-Right Trumpskis, then you have to stop talking to them as though you are trying to reason with them.
Alt-Right think very primitively, so when you try to reason with them that just emboldens them to continue being assholes. If you want to actually make them stop, you have to match tit for tat and just talk to them with no respect whatsoever. Start saying shit like:
"You're a fucking idiot for believing in such dumbass conspiracy theories."
"Stop being such a whiney pussy every time black people protest. They have a right to protest and if you can't handle that then go move to Russia."
"Sorry asshole, but America is not your personal safe space from black and brown people."
"I'm sorry but it's hard to understand you when your mouth is stuffed with Trump's dick. I get that it's probably orange but you don't need to treat it like a fucking lollipop."
Things like that will defang them because it hurts them in their own shitty "language".
And when they inevitably complain about you talking to them in such a way, just respond with "I thought you dumbasses hated political correctness. Or does that only apply when it's you bitching about minorities like a fucking idiot?"
Have you thought about debating or arguing with them? Maybe they'll show their true colours, and then if that happens to be bigoted, you can reprimand them.
Fire them. Use some other reason to fire them or to give them home office. Like you said, that kind of thinking is toxic and with the current landscape it will be even worse.
We all talk profesionalism and all that and it's great. But I bet you are not going to see these 2 employees in the same way anymore.
......I don't know if I'm kidding anymore.
Don't fire them but write their names down and they never get promoted. You don't need people like that leading your company.
hey mods can we have alt-right automatically change to Neo-Nazi? Oh sorta kinda joking.
No really.
Wait until Trump repeals Obamacare, Medicaid expansion and social welfare programs.
Fire them. Find a reason.
Call them a few months later and ask them how it's going.
1st step: don't use their cute branding "alt-right", call them what they are: NEO NAZIS. This will make the 2nd step easier: fire them.
If they work with general public. Fire them
There's no place for racism, anywhere. Fire them.
make it clear to them that racism will not be tolerated in the workplace (which is what this is)
You could fire them. Use Trump's catch phrase. Then laugh. Then fire them
I would find another low risk way to fire them or just remember this incident come raise or promotion time.
Hire minorities and make them work with them. Force them into an environment that requires them to let go of their bigotry, or else risk professional continuity.
Alt-Right is just code for being racist. You should straight up fire them / have them fired.
Wear a Black Lives Matter shirt until they either quit or say something that warrants firing. Should only take a few days.

Most of the posts don't sound too insane but it's a long thread. Go digging if you want.
How to deal with Alt+Right employees?

I also love how they denounce them as being unintelligent.They want to discriminate against other people based on political affiliation to the point of denying them jobs and healthcare simply out of sheer spite, and they call their opponents bigots.
They must be utterly blind to the irony.
The thread bitching about Quiet (MGS5) being the "most embarrassing thing ever" went on for 48 pages. They basically never tire out or give in, and the longer threads go on the more reasonable people get banned or scared away from participating. There are some members basically immune to banning for having the right identity or ideology, no matter how many rules they break or actually offensive shit they post. Most notable are CrossingEden and Lime.
The mass-banning thing has somewhat decreased though. The most obvious part is bishoptl getting the sack, since he was the Black Community Thread's personal attack dog. I think Evilore might being try to "fix" his site somewhat once he realized the SJW members drove away everyone else. Heck, three of the seemingly protected class actually got banned this week(one of them's a Halo writer lol), mostly for digging into other people's post histories and emails for dirt. So maybe he told mods to back off on excessive banning, but that's wishful thinking.
And no these people don't actually play the games they bitch about.
I also love how they denounce them as being unintelligent.
These guys just refuse to understand that insulting people based on who they vote for will turn those people against them.
So Ni-Oh looks looks incredible and it's been getting rave reviews, yet I am disappointed that of all the possible options that Team Ninja & Tecmo Koei could have done with their game set in 17th century. According to Wikipedia:
While a Western main character was settled upon for the final game, the initial concept had a native Samurai as the main protagonist in an original story. As the Koei staff had a history of developing historical titles such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Nobunaga's Ambition, they decided to base it on historical events.[25] While it was planned for an international release, the team did not try to dilute the Japanese elements for Western players, instead focusing on quality gameplay.[21] The Sengoku period was chosen as the game's setting due to it being a fertile period in Japanese history for an action title. Shibusawa was also fascinated by Adams' exploits, and the story came to be based on the major events in his life and iterations within Japan, then an isolated nation. They also added fantastic elements such as yokai.[15][19][21] A major influence on the story was James Clavell's 1975 novel Shōgun, which focused on a fictional English samurai based on the real-life Adams.[26] The character of William was initially conceived as a Western pirate who became a samurai, then shifted into his current form.
Now people will say that, well, William is a historical figure, so it's just "historical accuracy" or something along those lines, while completely overlooking that the game is about slaying demons and supernatural stuff like that. Moreover, and most importantly, Team Ninja & Tecmo Koei still chose to have William as the protagonist and in the marketing, i.e. of all the possible options on the table, they decided to use the historical figure of William as a base for a story about slaying demons. While I respect their choice, it's still just yet another white dude in a non-Western setting that we've seen many times before, and they could've gone in so many other different directions.
People will also say that it's possible to use the Disguises to switch up the appearance of William, but the problem is that (1) this is something that has to be unlocked later on via in-game currency, (2) the William character in the story remains the same throughout the narrative and (3) the Disguise appearance won't be affected by the armor you wear. It's just a simple mesh-swap basically.
People might also that that Team Ninja & Tecmo Koei are Japanese companies, so therefore their decision to have yet another white dude in an Eastern setting is entirely okay. In my opinion, while it is good that we have non-Western companies out there making games, it is unfortunate that Team Ninja & Tecmo Koei thinks that their game won't be interesting or financially successful if it's with a Japanese or a non-European protagonist.
I know, creative freedom (or relying on the flawed assumption that white dudes sell the most in the West for some reason) and all that, but I still think it's a missed opportunity and yet another drop in the vast ocean that is white dudes in non-Western settings. Team Ninja already included Yasuke, a black male samurai based of the few Samurai with African origin, so if they wanted to have gone with the "Audience Surrogate" trope, they could've opted for something different than the norm. And even if they really needed the protagonist to be from Europe and white, why not make it a female one instead?
It's not like we have a ton of diverse protagonists in major titles and we already are swamped in White Dudes enough as it is (although things are improving a bit). Regardless of their motivations, it's unfortunate that even a Japanese company reproduces this dominating Whiteness. It's simply a missed opportunity.
If this criticism is unwarranted of this particular one game, please lock and mock. I hope I haven't offended anyone, but if so, I apologize.
I went into a gamestop today, and had quite the shitty experience for something so minor. I had a few games to trade, because there was something at this particular store that I wanted. One of the games I had was a physical copy of Skylanders Superchargers Racing for Wii. The guy working the register couldn't find the game, but when the manager came and helped him, she noticed that she only saw a listing for "superchargers" not "superchargers racing"....I tried telling her, there was no other version on the Wii, they just list it as that because that's the name of the rest of the versions. Even the 3DS version says just superchargers, and not superchargers racing in their computer, even though racing was the only version they had.
Anyway, I tried to reason with the manager at first saying "it's just because that's how it's listed, that's still the same game..." she kept debating with me, instead of hearing what I was saying. Admittedly I was getting annoyed and said something like "How can you work at gamestop and not know that there was no other version of the game on the wii" And i said she was stupid somewhere in this sentence, and she claimed I was harassing her and wanted to call the police.
I got real upset by this, grabbed my games, and left. On my way out, I kicked one of their displays, and this must've been too close to the guy working for Microsoft, because he got all pissy at me and suddenly screamed "you hit me!" and ran up to me, and kicked me from behind. I tried saying "what, sorry, i didnt mean to do anything to you" and he just screamed at me "ill give you sorry by breaking your fucking face in"
Regardless of what i did, that is no fucking way for this asshole who was representing microsoft to treat me. I would have called the police, but because the manager was being a bitch to me, and the guy working the counter had a smug look on his face, it was going to be 3 against 1 if i did anything.
I need to get in contact with microsoft, and report this asshole to his management, but i don't know how.

I was browsing slick deals and saw a good deal on Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition (for $6.90) however when I clicked the link it took me to gamersgate.com (the seller)
I read their FAQ, and ABOUT page, but it doesn't speak to it. However, I rather not contribute to any advocates of Gamer Gate the movement.
Are they related?
Thank
