I hope someone figures out a way to troll players by making a super rare Pokemon seem to appear in a hard to reach location, but in reality it would would be impossible to catch. If there were some way to mess with GPS signals to troll em, that may work too.

Gods, you can't do anything as a Muslim. No Pokémon? Weird, but we have that policy crop up in a lot of places. No crosses or six pointed stars? Alright, religious zealotry. Unfortunate but nothing new.

No. Fucking. Triangles. Jesus Christ.

How do you live like this? I remember when the Kharijites declared flowers haram. Literally anything enjoyable is always haram.






I would hate to rehash the same old topic and point out the obvious yet again with every other Kiwi, but I am going to do so anyway, and it kind of ties in to my first comment. How can you limit yourself like that? How can you refuse to have fun, every second of every day, because someone, somewhere in the world, might hypothetically be worse off than you? Pokémon Go breaks down barriers, helps people meet up and have fun, and deconstructs the very kind of society they claim is so prevalent in the west. But because it doesn't accommodate so many different groups of people at the individual level that no organization could ever keep track of (and never minding the fact that Pokémon was designed to have and specifically works because of broad appeal across all segments of global society) it is absolutely a tool of oppression being wielded against those are forced to live in the shadows of a corrupt, white, patriarchy now being forced on us...by Japan? Desu?

Some fruit loop in Egpyt banned fucking tomatoes because the inside sort of resembles a cross when cut in half. Forget about drawing Muhammad, because in Saudi Arabia you can't even build a snowman, all because it looks like a human. I never understood why you can name somebody Muhammad, but idolatry is a sin.

No country is exempt from jihad. It's clearly not a war on the West which the media conveys it as, because all the attacks against Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, etc. which are outrageously claimed on the basis they're conspiring with Christians to destroy Islam. The funny thing about Islam is how many Muslims also kill each other while failing to acknowledge ANYTHING wrong in a religion of 1.6 billion people.

The Japanese are no exception to being victims of jihad, from one of the highest death tolls of foreigners on 9/11, the highest in the In Amenas hostage crisis, and two ISIS beheadings. But I digress. It simply baffles me the most extreme criticism of Pokémon Go here is because people are playing it insensitively at locations where maybe using a cell phone isn't appropriate in the first place. Meanwhile, Arab countries are resurrecting their fatwa argument from years ago that the franchise is a Zionist ruse to distract the population so they can invade. Nintendo even fucking removed the slot machine mini-games over accusations of promoting gambling.

Well, ok. Japan is probably whiter and more European than most of Europe at this point. Once you remove the aesthetic values. It is a western country in all but name, so I guess we can call Pokémon Go western. That still doesn't explain the fucking relevancy of that.

It's was developed by Niantic, Inc. of San Francisco, CA so technically it's an American game. Heh, looking at it conversely, I remember when Capcom made fantastic Disney games.

Honestly yeah, It's not even in Japan yet. I don't think they even have a release date.

It's because more people are expected to play it, and the servers can't handle the capacity. Interestingly enough, while Google Maps has a monopoly in the United States and many parts of Europe, Yahoo! Japan/SoftBank's internet maps are more comprehensive in Japan. Hell, Amazon first struggled to become the dominant e-retailer because Rakuten was already well established.

Sounds like a soccer mom from the late 90's. Except he is almost 20 years too late. I remember being a kid and seeing shit like that all over the news when the pokeman craze first came out.

I think it's class-ist or something to suggest that they can afford them or they have the arm strength/family to wheel them around or whatever. The main rule of social justice is that literally no assumptions can be made, and you are never safe.
 
Well I find the concept interesting, there is the social aspect out of it. And the exercise , but the attachment must mean the lady was getting creeped on by nerds with neckbeards

It's called social interaction. She can avoid these people by just talking properly to them and life goes on.
If that girl doesn't want social interaction, she should comunicate it directly to the man, instead writing an article in a newspaper.

He calls himself a "pop culture detective"

He set up a patreon called the pop culture detective agency.

https://www.patreon.com/popdetective

A pop culture detective that knows nothing of pokemon a massive pop culture phenomenon. He needs to go back to detective school, or crawl back into that rock he has been living under.

Also he is trying to set up a male version of feminist frequency with that patreon lol. I just watched the video. This dudes only claim to fame is also two viral videos he made. Somehow people donated.....

i love reading about all the big winners who fall off cliffs or get hit by cars playing this. one of my pals was telling me about some clever assholes who got some kind of "Lure" item in-game, and used it to set up a hotspot in an abandoned parking lot that would draw other players to the area... and they mugged the SHIT out of everybody who showed up. i'm like "AND WHAT DO WE CALL THEM?" and everybody was like "TEAM ROCKET" except one guy, he said "THE GO GETTERS!" that was much funnier so now anybody who does untoward or outright criminal things with this game is a GO GETTER hahahaaaaa :story:.

i also remember reading somewhere that some user on reddit, or some imageboard somewhere, suggested that people gather at a specific children's hospital and set these Lures down so that the sick kids could catch pokemon without having to saddle up their hotwheels chariots for the occasion, and all that well-intentioned act of charity managed to do was force the hospital to post guards at entrances so that people would stop fucking loitering and making it difficult for actual medical personnel to enter the building. :sighduck:
 
I don't have a recording of it sadly, but this morning on my radio, they had a call in guy who insisted pokemon go has subliminal undertones that will cause children to violently uprise against America and it's military. He then accused the radio host of being in on it when the guy was understandibly flabbergasted, and angrily hung up. Was great.

"feeding cats and dogs a proper vegan diet"

"A PROPER VEGAN DIET"

While one can argue that dogs are omnivores due to how adaptable they are to dietary intake, cats are straight up carnivores.

I swear, vegans are the some of the dumbest people on the planet

You think that's bad? Babies of vegan scums often suffer or even die from malnourishment because their mother's milk is still considered an animal product.

Everyone's favorite disabled lolcow Kylie Brooks made a post a few days ago saying how Pokemon Go was ableist, when he can literally just wheel outside in his autism chariot and catch pokemon himself.
