Darth Walrus posted:Your definition of 'stronger' is a little off from theirs. Eugenicists are traditionally all about treating humans like pedigree dogs, locating traits they deem beneficial and then trying to emphasise those as hard as they can by breeding in a really narrow gene-pool, with zero regard for any hideous genetic disorders that might show up along the way because they now have a strain with jaw-muscles strong enough to cleanly bite off someone's face and that, in their opinion, is rad. I don't know about you but when I look at a pug snorting constantly and choking on its own mucous I think "this is cool and good and i want mankind to one day look like that"

Nessus posted:Apparently Vox Day and co. rigged the Hugo award slate this year, including such seminal works as Something With Both SJWs and Rape in the Title by Vox Day and Space Raptor Butt Invasion by Chuck Tingle. This is the last thing I needed to see today. Another round of wins for Noah Ward. God loving damnit Pretty much gonna just look at Nebula winners until 2020 I guess

Is this the same child man who tried the same thing last year and explained it by favorably comparing himself to the villain of the 90s children's cartoon Gargoyles?

Vox Day and his 'sad puppies' campaign can eat poo poo)

It's not just that the argumentation is bad, but the point being argued for is fundamentally different. MMS and his ilk aren't, for all their posturing, questioning the human project. Just look at the assertions reinforced and reasons provided, such as they are: quote:You can look to your own life history. If you are honest with yourself, you will have to admit that most people treated you badly. At all the significant points in your past, you got screwed over by other people – and only a contemptible species would have done such a thing.

Also, apparently, people have identified the rules fix needed to prevent this garbage. They call it E Pluribus Hugo and it could be passed and in effect next year. Also the kickstarter for Neoreaction: A Basilisk has opened.

 Well, Phil has called Neoreaction a Basilisk "a 50,000-word shitpost", so I guess it's appropriate that high-level donors get, essentially, troll rewards.

Twerkteam Pizza posted:Better do it ASAP or I'm going to just have to translate Japan's Gran-Prix awards EPH passed last year. If ratified this year -- which is all but guaranteed -- it will go into effect with the 2017 Hugos. Once in effect, it will mean that slating attacks will reliably get one work in each category (whichever one had the most broad appeal outside the slate voters), but it will be extremely difficult for a slate to get more than one and effectively impossible to sweep a category, unless the slated works are the ones that would have won anyways without the slate.

I don't even care about the cause I said I was standing for." 3. "You know what, gently caress it, I'm trolling you now. I was always trolling, thus I win."

Curvature of Earth posted:Chuck Tingle is a novel-writing machine. I know some people who write niche gay porn for amazon and if you can keep volume up and you game the sale system a bit you can reliably get at least like $25 to $50 each book (where a "book" only has to be 15 pages or so). Plus you can write about whatever bizarre weirdo fetish you have and someone will buy it, it's the deviantart of bookstores. One of my friends just tried it for a bit when he was between jobs out of boredom, only wrote three short books in his spare time and made $300 off it despite being a nobody and not being terribly far up on any search results. I mean at this point Chuck Tingle is just sort of a thing in and of itself but there are a surprising number of people who are totally into being pounded in the butt by billionaire dinosaurs completely unironically.

Well I think what they generally mean is that they can't express their political opinions without facing censure from society at large and risk losing their jobs or livelihood, and they want to argue for a form of free speech that means more than just freedom from government interference, which you can make a case for. Although in practice what generally happens when some dude gets fired for calling rap "savage jungle music" or whatever is that he's instantly snatched up by one of the far-right periodicals or news sources and spends the rest of his life as a talking head for them, so really it's not so much a punishment as a change of scenery. And also free speech as an institution would last maybe five seconds in reactopia before Prime Minister Ignatius starts burning the books and burying the scholars.

Reactos want to have protection against criticism and to be free from the standard of measurement against logic or empirical data. They really seem to want others to lose their right to be disgusted or to ignore stupidity. There's no case for those rights.

Totally, I'm just saying that "actually free speech is just protection from government interference" is not a good retort. The real problem is that neoreactionaries and post-rationalists think that any criticism of them ever is implicitly a call to violently silence them because freaks create progs occupy amiright. Also gamergate attempts to violently silence people don't count, because while every prog is part of an amorphous hivemind that is in lock step every moment, gamergate is a heterogenous collection of radically different individuals and no statement about any member or members of gamergate can ever reflect badly on the movement as such.
