The Black Culture Thread |OT13| Kimba is the New Blacked

If you pay some attention to the Star Wars: TFA fandom on there you would obviously see everyone is shipping
Finn x Poe.

John Boyega said it ain't happening and next thing you know all the underlying racism starts coming out. "Black people are homophobic" a John Boyega fan blog had anons saying the n-word and I'm trying to hold in my inner Coli poster but luckily a lot of people started calling the bullshit out.

LOL did people forget he's a major actor who's read the script and probably knows a lot more about the characters
 
You do realize that you are basically saying you expect Square Enix to show restraint.

Not restraint, just as little work as possible. Not to mention, to get the proper emotional impact of the moment, you'd need to let the player play as Zack for a while. That's a LOT of additional content for a moment that's ultimately not that important to (the individual game) FF7.

People are dumb.

I hate tumblr most times.
Great for amatuer porn and art doe.

I kinda wish I like FF7 more than I do, cause I really want to be hyped instead of apathetic toward FF7R. I wonder how much they are going to fold Compilation into the story. I wouldn't mind getting to play Zack's Last Stand with this underneath

I'm exciting for it. But to be for real, like I am way more excited for FFXV and KH3 to be honest. Like dude posted the comparison shots between older kh's and 3, and got me rehyped.

Lets see if year O dreams continues into 16

There's literally only two games in existence that could be announced that would excite me more than I am for KH3. Time to finish the fight.

best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
Damn any links to the fuckery?

2 dudes can't have a strong relationship without wanting to fuck.

I imagine if the Supernatural crew said something real they would get stabbed

Some fans already scream death at every attractive woman they come across. They would probably go suicidal if they said fuck shipping in so many words.

Didn't the actors for Supernatural stop attending conventions because the fans kept screwing around with their wives/girlfriends?

So, y'all don't know about the bullshit fandom that is Superwholock? They are the single most toxic community I've ever seen. Like, if you see "superwholock" in someone's blog description, get the fuck out of there.

I can believe that though, just from surface level stuff I can tell they're full of nonsense.

I pretty much only follow Korra and Dark Souls blogs.

I had no idea that was even a thing. People have too much time on their hands.

as a fun excerise I have no problem with shipping but it gets nutty when folks get made when their agendas don't get pushed.

I would give parallax's left nut for SpidermanXShe Hulk, but I am not going to right a thinkpiece about how Marvel is bodyshaming short men by not allowing them to hook up with tall women.

Tumbler-ite:
"I'm a left leaning progressive who is fine with same sex relationships. I just saw the latest Star Wars move. Wouldn't it be cool if Finn x Poe were a couple? Squee!"

Boyega:
"That's cool but just remember its fantasy."

Tumbler-ite:
"Fuckin' niggers!"

Did I get that right? If so

As Malyse would say "Fandoms SUCK!"

What in the fuck?

Nothing wrong with shipping itself, but when you start to harass actors and writers for not bending over backwards to make your personal ship happen is when things get ridiculous. Calm the fuck down and enjoy the show.

However bad you think it is, it's worse. Seriously, you spend a day in that fuckery and you'll hate fandom more than me.

And I was just reminded of the Jack Frost Elsa thing that took over DeviantArt and Tumblr at the same time. Dark fucking days indeed.

Basically. GAF would have you thinking that they're above Tumblr's toxic SJW ways, but the reality is that it's just a fucking blog site that happens to get a lot of traffic. Just as many diet racists on there as there are here, which is why I always think it's hilarious when people try and frame Tumblr as the root of all evil internet witch hunts and whatnot.

Don't forget reddit, SubZero.

"Oh god , reddit is shit ..oh and by the way let me make a thread about this post i saw on reddit"

...

Reddit on the surface isn't as bad as tumblr on the surface. Don't get me wrong, the fucking stupid of reddit is much worse than tumblr and tumblr is far more likely to drag someone if they are *really* fucking up, but it much easier to have an actual converstation about something real on reddit than tumblr. Much easy to find like minded individuals on reddit as well.

Redditors get pissy much faster that tumblrettes though. Probably can thank gender politics for that.

You sure? In terms of surface-shit to delve-shit ratio, I'd probably rank it:

GAF (innocuous surface, shitposters are constantly getting banned, communities are gud)
Tumblr (innocuous [albeit dorky] surface, handful of vocal minorities [e.g. finn x poe firestorm] you can choose to listen to, bunch of great blogs off the beaten path)
Reddit = Imgur (front page usually has a handful of diet racist / sexist / etc. stuff to begin with, handful of cool secret agents / "my dad actually worked at nintendo" posters you can choose to listen to, but the majority is 99% bitching about things that are different and scary)

You can avoid bullshit on Reddit a lot easier than on tumblr. Someone might just wake up and lose their goddamn mind on tumblr. Seen it happen before.

I feel like you have to sort of paper-trail your way into insanity on tumblr and it's easy enough to avoid afterwards, whereas on reddit if a woman so much as feels good about herself in the wrong direction it rocks the entire ecosystem, rather than just the hate subreddits.

In that way, reddit isn't unlike GAF: you can just look at some posts about know before you get started that it won't go well. I dunno. Reddit tends to piss me off a lot less than tumblr, but that certainly has more to do with the way I interact with the sites.

Disqus is subtly trying to become a social network. They have a backend that's pretty close to the dashboard section of tumblr.

I'm just glad that I only stick to the fan-art and porn side of tumblr to not see these crazy things.

Something something Sonic furry something yiff.

You can avoid Reddit most bullshit if you stay away from the the defaults and the larger subs, or at least their comments. I've actually found it's the exact opposite with Tumblr, the insanity tends to congregate in smaller areas while the majority is usually sane.
 
I'd ship Finn and Poe, but at the same time i'm not about to dox Finn's third niece, twice removed over it

Shipping is cool until someone takes it too far.
And they always take it too far.

By taking it too far I don't mean any particular ship, I mean the way people decide to start wars over ships. Live and let live.

Bayoneighta?

So the BCT game finally has a name.

Let's shift the cycle.

God, I love the design of Jinx. I wish I liked League as much as I like the character designs.

Have you ever heard a song at the wrong playback speed and then been unable to appreciate the original version?

This, played at 1.25 speed. Can't listen to the original anymore; it's too slow. Song's also way too damned short.

All songs from Pokémon R/S/E. While playing in VBA I'd always hold the space bar to speed things up and now, weirdly, I have nostalgia for those versions of the soundtrack.

I'm not understanding this.

Somewhere along the line men fostered an environment where a young man idolizes fictional characters to the extent he dresses like them. Cleveland isn't exactly a welcoming or warm place that fosters such an outlook on life. It would be one thing if this was a costume like everyone else but he's walking outside like this. We've lost all the recipes.
 
Looks like I came in at just the right time.

That show was awesome.

I... see? People have been emulating their idols for a long time man...
