I just can't wait for those difficult conversations in the future, like when the BBC make a hard hitting drama with a black cast about the East India Comapny and their reliance on slavery. I can see the questions now 'Dad, why were they using slaves if the men in charge were also black?'.......

I watched the new witches yesterday, could it have been more stereotypical, lmao? Black grandma blasting her Motown tunes, serving fried chicken to her grandson, a voodoo herbalist on the side. It just doesn't work how they think it works.

 

[MrFunSocks]

Wtf is she even on about? So because Newton is white and from the western world and he said gravity is this and this, and he's correct, we should throw it out the window because some black people living in a tribe think that gravity is actually the result of a witch doctor casting voodoo to hold things to the ground? Essentially just throw scientific fact out the window because even though it's right, we shouldn't believe it's right because people that aren't as smart didn't come up with it?

Another gorgeous outrage thread from racist black ERA members about WHITENESS IN NORSE MYTHOLOGY

I want to get into LOTR Expanded Material, but its whiteness turns me off

I've read The Lord of the Rings, I've read The Hobbit, and I've watched the extended editions of both. Yet, I've always been interested in the "expanded" content such as The Simarillion and those other later published works. Recently I was watching some lore videos and started to get interested...

Was going to post this as well. It's just so fucking stupid. Oh no, a certain piece of 100 year old media has no black representation, RACIST!

Ffs, it's stuff like this that makes me question why I even bother staying there. It's all so extreme. If it doesn't fit into their narative it's complete and utter thrash/racist/transphobic/....

Do you believe you're morally superior to others?

If there's one thing we're bad at, is how we percieve ourselves. Appearance, voice, sense of humor, personality - it's impossible for us to realize how others percieve us without external help. For morals, it's a similar thing. Don't remember where I saw it (probably some VSauce video?), but...

Having some kind of identity has always been a thing. A few years ago it was the goths, punks, skaters, lesbians., etc. (even nerds). It comes and goes. Everything is fluid and keeps expanding. Now that lgbt are more out of the closet, they just doing the same in their spectrum. Politics are a bit like sports now, so it's even more visible. Don't be a boomer and accept times are always changing. From my experience, even radical ones in their online persona can be quite normal.

Skaters, nerds, jocks, and the like procreate the species. This new class expects to be coddled to while they selfishly consume resources that would be better spent on those paving the way for the future of humanity.

Oh he back-trackted

Extreme causticity?

That's a new one. He ever read 'The Lion the witch and wardrobe' ?

The book is written ages ago.

Honestly makes no sense.

Will still watch all Disney, not a doubt.

This is a good example of how discussion on Era works. He made a good point originally. Rather then sticking with it he probably feared angering someone so he pivots to fall in line.

I noticed they never mention the Maori in Jackson's movies. They're everywhere - men in Bree, orc performers, Minas Tirith soldiers, Rohirrim, Faramir's troops in Osgiliath, merchants of Lake-town and so on.
And it's not like they specifically chose Maori to play the orc villains. Lawrence Makoare was one of the chief stunt performers and could handle the complex prosthetics for FOTR and ROTK. Azog and Bolg were originally Conan Stevens. They couldn't figure out the designs in time and had to rush mo-cap with Manu Bennett and Makoare. Bennett was a local actor with strong presence and voice on break from Spartacus and had weapons training - easy decision to make.

Funny, I could have sworn the way Newton did his work is to start with some basic concepts and then repeatedly apply math and follow the logic to get a result. Oh wait, that's exactly what happened and what physicists do today.

Gaming side here isn't much better, just less hitler calling. If it's even remotely positive Xbox news it turns to a complete shit show within 3 posts max. This site wasn't/isn't known as SonyGAF for no reason.

in fact you should take a look at the corresponding thread about Phil Spencer here:

It's all more performative wokeness and humble bragging. I don't concern myself with morality, I concern myself with SAVING LIVES. They try to make themselves sound even more big brain that they are even better because they care about results not just thoughts. Also lol at the leaders of the asian summit who attacked people are now admitting they're shitty people. No shit, I could have told you that.

It is also just dumb. You have to have a moral framework to know what is a "better outcome."

And I guarantee you her definition of a better outcome is not even close to what most people outside of CRT idiots would agree with.

Funny how actually playing the game and telling about what happens is "dismissing transphobia", but pushing non-existent narratives about the game being "full of transphobia" by people who have not played it is fine.

Of course, and that's why their lives are so bitter and meaningless. They're all mentally ill people screeching about how horrible the outside world is but at the same time can't be bothered to even have a moral framework for their actions.

Oh shit it's the pronoun police.

That Jim thread is a microcosm of Gaming-side discourse on Era now and going forward.

For 9 of the 10 games that made Jim's shit list, everyone seems free to agree or disagree with its placement on the list. However for Cyberpunk, you must explain how you could have such an opinion:

Or don't bother, its inclusion is not debatable!

This post is especially amusing:

This shows just how much they exist in their own bubble. No one really seemed that upset over Cyberpunk being on the list; in reality, the only ones getting "bent out of shape" in that thread are those posting in response to anyone who disagreed with Jim on Cyberpunk. Here you have a thread about Jim's 10 shittiest games of the year, where the forum is selective about which of those games can warrant an honest discussion, which later devolves into a thread about Jim's pronouns and not the actual topic. "Freedom for everyone to like whatever they like and to not like whatever they don't like" - are you aware of what forum you're posting on?

Yup.

I'm "He/Him" and Kyuuji [and others] referred to me constantly as "They".

I don't honestly give a shit - but if the pronoun police are on the beat, then everyone should be held to the same standard.

Kyuuji should have been banned a long time ago for repeated violations of the TOS.
