Law And Order SVU is hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZDZ4Mvmrl8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EglK8YA5-c About Todd's Hanson episode, a couple of schools (the second one is on my island) used MMMBop as a tactic to annoy the students into donating money to charity. Wikipedia posted:Like many songs that achieved extreme popularity, this song has experienced a backlash against its once ubiquitous airplay. Delone Catholic High School in McSherrystown, Pennsylvania held a student-created fundraiser for victims of Hurricane Katrina called "Stop the Bop". The school played the song before classes began in the morning, and between each period over the school PA system. It was only stopped when the school raised $3,000 for hurricane relief.[4] After the fundraising had concluded, Hanson responded by matching the students' donation as well as sending a copy of their 2004 album Underneath to every student in the school.

SVU is a never ending show full of insanity. There was an episode where the DA got totally wasted and accidentally showed this hilariously bad CGI recreation of the crime with the defendant's face clumsily pasted on it during trial. It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen and I wish I could find a gif of it.DStecks posted:I realize that this is the official thread of people who seek out terrible experiences for the fun of it, but why would I want to watch a TV show on the recommendation that it will infuriate me? I think he might be making a joke man. Blue Bloods can be a fun background noise show but holy poo poo the worst part is the clunky ~dinner time chat~ halfway through every episode where everyone gathers around a table like it's Thanksgiving and discusses the big issue of the episode.

They could've made a point where U.S. law was way too prudent and have the abused girl head to prison and end on a dark note. But they have to make the kid dress up as the Fonz, have the Judge be sending kids to prison on commission. Then they end it on a 'happy' note where the Girl is free, the kids in prison are still stuck in prison and the head judge has the judge's charges dropped.

It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen and I wish I could find a gif of it. More in a sense if you wanna know how bad cop shows in America can get. During one of the dinner time chats Tom Schelick tells a story about how he randomly stops a guy to frisk him and finds a gun that had been used in a murder. Then at the trial he lies and says that he saw the suspect's weapon on his waist. He stopped the guy "On a hunch". Keep in mind, Shelick's character is the Commissioner of the NYPD. I got SOOO angry when I saw that. I use to love CSI: Las Vegas in middle and high school. In fact that show made me wan't to take up Criminal Justice in college in the first place. Besides learning that real police work on any level is nothing like these shows, you learn these shows exist to make white middle class people feel safe and learn not to trust people who aren't them and Blue Bloods is the worst of them I feel. Edit: I would go on, but this belongs in DnD chat. Long story short, I can't watch ANYTHING related to crime shows on TV anymore.

Holy gently caress. That website. About the Movie: "In this movie you will hear from the following: Phil Mason aka Thunderf00t... Name... Jack Thompson... Name... Karen Straughan (who appears to be three people)... And more!" For a man obsessed with being taken seriously by other people, Davis Aurini really loving sucks at acting like a professional adult.

I don't get the Sarkeesian hate. I watched her videos and I didn't agree with all of her arguments and thought she was reaching at some points, but she wasn't saying anything extreme. It was basically Feminism 101.

Lots of people who were never socialized properly grew up on the internet and don't know how to handle nuance or balanced perspectives about anything. Now that they have to share that space with normal people they are losing their minds and have a huge persecution complex about not being able to use racist language or threaten women with rape.

I think some of it is aging gamers who grew up in a time when there WERE people actively trying to literally censor video games with mature content. Just that, where most people realize that "this person makes points similar to the points made by that person" is not the same as "this person is trying to do THE EXACT SAME THING as that person," these guys are stuck in a black and white, zero sum worldview. (Similarly, a lot of these guys have their identities wrapped up in their entertainment of choice, so an "attack" on the thing is an attack on them directly.) Basically dudes don't understand the point of criticism, which is no surprise in a subculture where a game getting a rating of less than 9.5 is a serious insult.

I liked it when she called out Binary Domain for having a Japanese prostitute, because having a prostitute in a game is bad enough, but making the prostitute Asianand speak with an accent is racist and otherizing. Apparently unaware of the fact that Binary Domain was a Japanese game made by Japanese people.

This is why it's hilarious that GamerGate welcomed the support of Jack Thompson, a man who actually tried to wreck video games, because he criticised Anita Sarkeesian, who they think is trying to wreck video games. Honestly, I actually quite like how Hbomberguy described it a while back - Sarkeesian is, to some of these people, a kind of "load-bearing feminist". She is the most prominent commentator who critiques computer games from a feminist perspective, and is thus emblematic of all commentators who critique games from a feminist perspective. Thus, if only she can be destroyed, then the entire edifice of feminism in game criticism will come crumbling down with her. Now, I'd say to some extent it can go both ways, and some of her supporters can take the same perspective from the other direction. However, to the best of my knowledge, they're not sending out death threats or doxxing anyone (they're certainly wrong to do it if they are, it should go without saying), so I'm less inclined to think they're a major problem.
