Careercow Robert Chipman / Bob / Moviebob / "Movieblob" - Middle-Aged Consoomer, CWC with a Thesaurus, Ardent Male Feminist and Superior Futurist, the Twice-Fired, the Mario-Worshipper, publicly dismantled by Hot Dog Girl, now a diabetic

[Woe-B-Gon (TM)]

I can't decide which snark is better:

1) For someone whose job is entirely online he doesn't seem to understand that online stuff can affect your job.

2) For someone who loves China so much he seems to be denying the concept of social credit pretty hard. Or is that why he's doing it?

Meh, they're both a bit weak.

Bobby thinks making animals do human's job is "skeevy"

In the superior future we'd all have a Boston Dynamics pack mule.

Bobby has such a huge gravitational pull that all convos invariably come back to his eugenics advocacy:

Do we have memes? We mostly just quote him and alternate between laughing and tophatting and going randomly OT.

Think about this for a minute, folks:

I seem to recall that, just recently, someone posted one of Moviebob's family traditions involving a fireplace to communicate with Santa Claus. I can imagine that's why Santa never answered any letters Moviebob may have sent him; it wasn't (only) because Bob was a perpetually naughty child, it was because he incinerated his Christmas lists because he thought the fireplace was also a direct mail route to the North Pole...

Step 1
Bob gets his cues from movies.
Step 2
Bob endorses politics that are like the movies he saw.
Step 3
Bob gets mad when people get in the way of the politics he's endorsing because those politics match the messages from the movies.
Step 4
Bob has to eliminate all opposition, because ipso facto if everyone supported progressive social policies, then he would get an Iron-Man suit or whatever.

Superior future = Comic Book/Video Game/Movie fantasy.
It's all there.

As a kid, I just assumed that other cultures had their own versions of Santa Claus that delivered gifts:

I also stopped believing in Santa when I was nine, which was about the time I realized the logistics of the sleigh ride wouldn't work since there wouldn't be enough time to visit every house on the planet. I also pretended to keep believing in Santa because I wanted those sweet, sweet presents to keep coming, -sort of how a wrestling fan keeps believing in kayfabe even though they know it's all fake. It's more fun that way. I can't imagine Lux or Bob having any kind of fun at Christmas, since they'd be too busy trying to poke holes in the Santa Myth so they can debunk it and look down on all the other kids.

 

[Fanatical Pragmatist]

I've never got why Bob runs to the jannies (well, actually I understand why - it's to cover up the fact he's losing an argument) so often.

In my time on Twitter I've used the report button twice. One of those times was on a Chinese spambot. I honestly find it weird that Bob just jumps to reporting people he disagrees with.

Because Bob is the big F-word he accuses other people of.

However, I had to comment on Bob's incredible stupidity here. He seriously thinks that it's those damn dirty scoundrels at Big Oil keeping the poor renewable energy industry down! I mean, sure, the sun doesn't shine 24 hours a day, and wind is unpredictable, and solar panels and windmills are grossly inefficient at capturing energy, and there's a lot of pollution in making them, and they don't generally recoup their energy costs before they break down, and they're not really all that easily recycled (to the point that we're getting piles and piles of windmill blades and no idea what to do with them all)...but ignore all that, it's clearly all a conspiracy! Those fossil fuel luddites are standing in the way of the Superior Future again!

This is what Bob actually believes.

Don't mention that major players like Shell, Exxon & BP own a bunch of solar farms.

But that's besides the point. People like Bob want a 1-D villain who can be blamed for everything, and once they are defeated it's rainbows & butterflies until the next villain shows up.

 

[The Valeyard]

As expected Bob’s theory about the watch in Hawkeye hinting towards time travel and Wolverine based on its lot number in the auction being 268 was way off the mark, as the finale revealed that it belongs to Clint Barton’s wife Laura who is a former S.H,I.E.L.D operative.

Step 5: The hero (or an anti-hero like Trump) comes along, completely foils Moviebob's sinister plan(s), and leads human civilization to a noticeably less-crapsack world as a direct result of those actions.

He is a bully. When a bully fails to get his way he calls the teachers and claims the other kid bullied him.

I call bullshit on this tweet. I reckon as a kid Bob never thought about other cultures. Also, in the cartoons, Santa goes to every child regardless of race or culture so most likely he just assumed everyone gets a present regardless.

You know what, congratulations to Chris for this. It shows he still takes his day job seriously and hasn't been slacking off to focus on his podcast career. Hopefully he got a nice pay bump with the promotion.

Not to rag on anyone else's experiences, but it's always been interesting to me hearing other people's Santa stories. Personally, I never had that issue, because my parents decided from the start that they weren't going to lie to me, not just about Santa but pretty much anything. They made it clear that they gave me gifts because they loved me, and that Santa was just a nice story that other families chose to tell. I'd still do things like sit on Santa's lap at a public event, but I was never led to believe that my presents came from anyone but my family (even if my grandparents would sometimes leave a gift from "Santa" under the tree when I visited). Above all, they told me not to spoil that for other kids because that was their parents' responsibility, not mine. I can't remember ever breaking that instruction, so at least I don't have to feel guilty about that.

At any rate, I find it amusing that Bob "Thinkers and Believers" Chipman is willing to go along with the Santa delusion for Chris's kids. Isn't he always saying that belief is bad? That's not very superior of you, Bobbo. Shouldn't you be enlightening the toddlers on how they should be Thinkers?

Your parents are the best.

Meanwhile people continue to challenge Bobby's conception of Gen-Xers as war-weary veterans being conscripted to another fight:


Further down the discourse on Eugenics:

"This guy" has a higher probability to have propagated his genes than Bobby. Just saying!

---

Disney:


Luke endorses Bobby's interpretation of Matrix. Also a rando's got on to another rando's shitlist for pulling Bobby's leg.





Only God can paint the sky with rainbows -- and He won't do it because humans are so smart they're guaranteed to misunderstand the message.

 

[Ralph Barnhardt]

Meanwhile people continue to challenge Bobby's conception of Gen-Xers as war-weary veterans being conscripted to another fight:

"But every generation has their mythologies..." which was proceeded by ""ended Vietnam" and "defeated Nixon"" both of which are in quotes because we never actually ended the Vietnam war, Nixon is still in power, and Bob knows this is and being cheeky and not stupid. Contrary to evidence provided Bob indeed is a f---ing idiot. Please direct your eyes to his last line "Americans are taught history as a "march of progress" that trends upward". I can confirm as a fellow Yank that this does not happen. No one worth their salt teaches history as a march of progress because it is not a march of progress. It's a chronological retelling of events. It most certainly does not trend upward either. Sure, we here in the States are enjoying lesser brother's 8 different personal podcasts and an empty, hedonistic lifestyle instead of being a bunch of hunter gathers running buffalo off a cliff but getting here was not a straight upwards trend. In fact, in the past couple of thousand years we've had some pretty hard resets. A child would hold this view point after taking a basic world history class and never thinking more about it.

Not to rag on anyone else's experiences, but it's always been interesting to me hearing other people's Santa stories.

OK, here's one more, everyone uninterested feel free to skip or drop a scouter - my family was poor so while we did the whole Santa thing I was taught early on that the toy bill is sent to my parents and I shouldn't expect much, as an attempt to temper against the media (and other people) promising the moon. As a result I discarded the whole Santa thing early for a kid - a magical gift giver is wondrous and something to hold on to, a magical delivery guy less so. Now that I think on it, I realize Santa as he existed for me was Amazon before Amazon existed - a big ol' place where you could get anything and have it delivered (supported by an underclass working for nonexistent wages, ahem).

I don't recall ruining any other kid's Christmas with the truth but I do recall one incident where two "really big kids" (what, maybe twelve years old?) left their half of the school playground and went around ours telling kids there was no Santa, it was their parents. Yeah, I went to school with some real sociopaths.

Me, at seven or eight, still believed but "Stuff from Santa is just from your parents" was baked in to the myth for me as mentioned above. So I just said "Yes, I know" or something like that. And they were so freaked out by a kid that agreed with them and didn't deny it or cry or otherwise react that they called me weird, pushed me over, and ran away. I just sat there confused and had a long hard think on why someone would be mad at me for agreeing with them. I'd met a lot of people who got mad when I disagreed but this was a first! (Probably why I still remember it, I realize a lot of incidents from my preteens I still remember are ones where something made no sense and I had to think on it.)

At any rate, I find it amusing that Bob "Thinkers and Believers" Chipman is willing to go along with the Santa delusion for Chris's kids. Isn't he always saying that belief is bad? That's not very superior of you, Bobbo. Shouldn't you be enlightening the toddlers on how they should be Thinkers?

Well, Santa does have a beard, perhaps he's mistaken him for a Muslim.

Reminder Brainless Bobby isn't a Gen X'er like he desperately wants to pretend he is. GEN X is defined as being between 1965 - 1980. Brainless Bobby was shat out in '82, making him a Millenial.

Also reminder that this is likely a delusion he kept back when he hoped that pedo defender and rape enabler Kevin Smith would become a psychological pin for himself. Others' success is Brainless Bobby's success in his lardy and smooth mind.

 

[Open Window Maniac]

I wish Santa was real so he could leave Bob his own weight in coal in his stocking.

St. Nicholas would never waste that much coal, that could heat an entire small town for the winter!

He seems to be getting worse about it too doesn't he?

He never used to crow about how many people he reported or the exact moment he decided they'd gone too far.

Did he? If so, I don't recall it.

Seems this a new stage of butthurt to make it public...

 

[Judge Dredd]

On the topic of Objectivism. I'm reminded of the two kinds of Atlus Shrugged fans. Those who believe in the principles of the philosophy and find it inspiring, and those that use it as a cover to demean and bully poor people.

If Bob was an objectivist (and I think he used to be), he'd be the latter. Using the words of his intellectual betters to justify his violent fantasies about putting the obsoletes into camps. The whole "no man may initiate the use of force" part of objectivism will either be ignored, or swept aside with a flimsy justification.

I report Bob all the time but nothing ever comes of it.

I wondered why no one reports him for "dehumanising language" when he says the obsoletes are not human, or "targeted harassment" when he sends his followers to brigade someone. The blue check mark gives a lot of protection it seems.

I don't know about running to jannies, but sending his fanbase to brigade people he doesn't like is not a new thing. One of the more notable examples was when he tried to get some British kid arrested for trolling thots in a MMO.

Bob could be considered an "X-enial" (much like myself) it was a few years from 79-84-ish where you're too young to be Gen X...but slightly too old for Millenial. One thing is for sure though...he's not Gen X no matter how cool he thinks it sounds.

This is generally what I report him for when I bother, and it's never resulted in so much as a single deleted tweet. Blue check + lefty + no actual influence whatsoever = immunity, apparently.
