Someone went off-topic on a thread about Whedon, so they must be threadbanned! ( Link | Archive )

He certainly doesn't understand what irony is.

From the first one: YOU MUST STAY ON-TOPIC AT ALL TIMES NO DEVIATION ALLOWED PEASANT
From the second one: "Digressions, meandering, subject drift, and light humor are not generally a problem."

So... going off a slight tangent is okay or not okay?

 

[Shaka Brah]

Can't totally fault Dawgstar on that one, though he's such a faggot it's really hard for me to give him ANY credit.

In other news, Funkadelic simps for the Mouse's clusterfuck of Star Wars movies.

He's such a cocksucker. They just can't stand the fact that the SW sequels were trash.

I'd happily ban that guy for resorting to such pilpul to save a shitty franchise. The movies sucked but using EU "it was a clone!" macguffins to redeem bad Disney movies is peak soyjack and he needs to reconsider his life choices.

Man, it's like all the mods on here are LARPing as Friend Computer. "The Star Wars sequels make you happy, citizen! Happiness is mandatory! Not being happy is treason! Not liking Star Wars is treason! The mods are your friend!" They should rename the site Alpha Complex.

Not gonna lie, this almost sounds like the premise for the King of Siam.

Once again, RPGnet is here to remind us of just how badly the Mongolian steppe raiders were oppressed by the millions of people they mercilessly put to the sword, often peoples they had so little knowledge of that they had to go through multiple translators just to inform them that their choices were slavery or death.

Apparently colonization is only bad when white people do it.

Apparently colonization is only bad when white people do it.

In fairness the Mongolians didn't really colonize, they just repeatedly moved to a new location. It was less colonies and more "time for another holiday!" Hence why modern Mongolia is practically empty but something like a third of Europe can trace a link to the most rapey Mongol.

Riddle me this, what good is a forum to discuss media if you're not allowed to express negative opinions on media? I guess you're supposed to estimate how good something is by how long the thread about it is.

I thought it's been established that they're coomers with extra steps.

They had an sexy image thread that was recently shut down over sexism.

Because those opinions are wrong, and having wrong opinions is the first step on the slippery slope to Nazism.

The ability to punish users no matter what they do is a feature, not a bug.

I have to give Genghis some credit, if this dude was in my ethnic group I'd like him too. He kicked some serious ass. One of the best strategies of the Mongols was essentially tolerating the religions of the conquered. If they surrendered. By this single tactic he eviscerated the usual defensive strategy where the ruling class relied on religion to support the state. Once the religions realized they got to continue existing under the new regime, they were like fuck these guys and the Mongols got Fifth Column type support from the religions of the conquered.

And considering the fact that they were serious badasses, the other choice was have your entire country destroyed, get slaughtered and raped, and your cities burned to the ground. Compared to that, becoming part of the empire was a pretty enticing alternative.

It wasn't that vastly different than what the Romans did. As conquerors went, Romans were pretty good. The surrender condition was generally paying tribute, more or less getting to keep your original culture, and while you were paying tribute, anyone else who tried to attack you would get their shit fucked up.

And the alternative was the usual you all get killed and enslaved and your shit gets burned to the ground.

This was human culture for most of history.

Remember that time when his army still razed an village after he died because they neglected to provide reinforcements?

Only goes to show how much people loved him.

Because fifth edition turning Ravenloft into a glorified goosebumps book wasn't woke enough.

Also when the Mongolians murdered millions of Hungarian civilians because they couldn't find an army to fight. IIRC there was a city they put to the sword because they just didn't have enough plunder.

RGPnet simping for the Mongolians is really just simping for the 13th-century equivalent of the Nazis.

It's the first time I find a creative post on that forum that pleases me, this was funny.
Of course, it has to be moderated. No fun for the Hugbox Commisars.

Your average member of the Golden Horde would probably kick your teeth in if you tried telling him he's "Oppressed". THEY do the oppressing 'round here!
