Well, I for one think it was a crepe-y joke.

But you certainly like to drag the drama in here. All you are showing is that they live rent free in your head.
And no, you can say many things about Mirabilis, but he is certainly not a f*cking white supremacist.

I don't think he was saying anyone person in particular is a white supremacist man. I don't know who mirabilis is though.

So we are to pretend that wokeness doesn't exist and hasn't permeated Hollywood, when plenty of creatives have lamented its stifling effect? Dismissing valid criticism as mere "basement dwelling" is just as lacking in nuance as the (anti)-woke warrior rhetoric. These videos wouldn't be popular if the criticism presented within wouldn't resonate with a critical mass of people.

Quite frankly, I'll take a Critical Drinker over any of shill youtube channels that RLM likes to parody so perfectly. At the very least, they didn't forget that critics are there to criticize, not to advertise the next mass entertainment product.



Or maybe, these videos merely express what people were already thinking.
Also, what's the point of dragging this sh*t into here?

Kinda funny that you were so afraid of what you shared that you felt the need to edit out the logo/source.

Sounds like you’re intent on being an activist now. GAF isn’t a space for that though.

No one said anything about people immigrating and becoming citizens. I just said residence does not equal citizenship. the shirt just says "as long as you live here the flag is yours" Which isn't accurate. You can live many places and not be a citizen. If you are natural born or naturalized then you are American, but if you are just chilling it isn't. That is why I made a joke about crepes.

It was an ambiguous enough post that it didn't say much about anything, so I was just trying to make sure what you meant by it.

But sure, I'll take you at face value: it was a long setup to what ended up being a mediocre joke anyway. 😂

PS: I like crepes too.

Damn, tommib was a good member

I feel you, OP. Saw bunch of homophobic comments around here time and time again going unmoderated.

Some dude on the Sandman thread straight up called it a "virus", "disease", "disgusting" and shit and yet his post is still there

I try to think that GAF is just like the real world: you see good people and some idiots. The idiots I try to ignore them.

It's much better to have different opinions than one place like RE where you have a hivemind.

But sometimes mods take sides, deleting some posts and not others, which is realy frustrating if you start paying attention to it

I don't really care about what you think, you are barely a citizen. My family fought in the revolution. :)


I think you are great the first part was forum banter.

Yeah, that’s the dude I reported but nothing got done about as yet. Might be something to look at EviLore EviLore .

All the wokeness complaining stuff is so one-dimensional and tired at this point. And yes, it's mostly received opinion from basement dwelling youtubers, for people who would rather watch outrage content about movies and shows than the movies and shows themselves.
Click to expand...
The irony of a post complaining about "one-dimensional"... Itself being very one-dimensional.

I can see you're probably coming from a good place with that post, but -- like the other discourse you're complaining about -- it lacks nuance.

You’re the one talking about fence-sitting as if it’s a problem. That’s political tribalism 101. You’re turning into a typical anti-woke activist who demands that everything be viewed through a political lens. We’re not doing that here. Off topic is a place to hang out and talk about movies, shows, etc., that you like. If that doesn’t suit you anymore, no problem, head over to one of those angry places full-time. Your call.

Why can’t people just say “Y’know, this movie sucked. I didn’t like how they wrote [character name] and felt like they were coming from a disingenuous place.” Instead of relying on stuff like “This movie is fucking woke!” Or “This movie is fucking bigotted!”. Is it really so hard to simply explain yourself in an adult manner without relying on silly terms and refusing to engage in actual discussions? Why else are you on a forum if not for debates and discussions?

Speaking of which, Necrons vs Leagues of Votann. Who would win and why is it so clearly Trazyn?

I'm sorry but you are letting past drama and personal grudges color off on others. I'm certainly not a political tribalist, you know that very well and I have been one of the few on this very forum defending movies like Lightyear for showing a same-sex kiss. Go read my last review of Prey, isn't that exactly what you want for off-topic? Yes, I have a dislike for wokeness, just as I dislike other narrative crutches and ideologies, but I certainly don't consume my entertainment through a mere partisan lens and have have done many other contributions to this forum.

There's room for people who defend it and people who are against it, what I don't like is when discussions are being shut down due to past history and drama.

Also since when is it your concern what websites I visit?

If you remember, I wasn't part of the drama... and no, in case you are wondering, I don't frequent that other forum... but considering how little worth I am to this place in light of your bitter reply, I'm starting to wonder why I still support this forum. Don't let your personal issues out on other people, myself included.

P.S.: Outright perming InfiniteCombo InfiniteCombo over a small disagreement like this, seems really petty.

Seriously, I think you're over-exaggerating. NeoGAF has always been tolerant of the LGBTQIA+ community. Hell, there have been many, many LGBTQIA+ OTs in the community section, and MetaGAF always has discussion of the dong variety going on. I suggest you take a look there before you brand everyone a homophobe for no good reason.

If you are talking the user base, then you seem to forget the Matt-era Politics board, and especially the T. I haven't had much time for forums the last couple of month, so I cannot speak about the current state of affairs, but there were quite a few months (basically before the closure of the Politics section) where this as a blanket statement certainly was not true.

You are who you associate with. It tends to be clearer to third parties than the person in the thick of it. Spending time around degenerates and consuming a bunch of angry YouTube videos will exert a major influence on who you are.

I might get in trouble for this but why perma InfiniteCombo?

It might be a controversial discourse but surely even if it was wrong, a perma is too much if he doesn't have prior infractions. Especially since I have seen people punished lighter with more damning posts.

Kinda sad to have one less RE bro to talk with.

Are Tarantino and Maher degenerates now?
Guilt by association is exactly the kind of tribalism you try to banish from this place.

I don't know if you are referring to me by your reply, but let's kindly keep the personal assumptions out of this.

If you really think I have the time to consume Youtube from morning to evening, you're sorely mistaken.
You know nothing about what or whom I associate with or the kind of person that I am other than my forum persona. I also extend the same courtesy to you, so let's not go there.

If you don't want people to discuss "wokeness" in media, just say it outright or make a rule like you did with politics, but conflating the two is really not constructive.
Discussions about wokeness can't be worse than the half a dozen nudity and titty threads that keep constantly floating to the top.

Are we turning this into a 40k thing now? 40k stuff is great fun. Is the new subscription service any good? I saw some stuff on YouTube that looked great

A tired and boring complaint about any new media coming out (OMG woke!) can't be worse than nudity and titties (which are awesome)? Is it opposite day??
