Maybe this tends to be a boy thing, I don't remember anyone I knew doodling stuff other than hearts, flowers, stars, pretty dresses, princesses, puffy letter messages, "I love [boyname]", "I love Jesus," etc. Except me, but I doodled geometric patterns.

I don't have a philosophical problem with the grimdark per se, I just cannot sit through that much splattering poop, blood, snot, dead things, rotting things, body parts, etc, etc. without wanting to vomit after a couple of minutes. Especially with the squelchy sound effects. My kid plays it and loves it, but I try to be out of the room.

It can absolutely be done well, it just hasn't in 99% of the cases and tends to devolve into "the nerd creator thinks that for it to be art it has to be dark and involve mommy/daddy problems" or something like that and after the 30th game with a tiny, big-headed protagonist in a dark foreboding world I was just sick of it.

Almost as many swastikas as the kid who doodles geometric patterns and doesn't tend to notice that the pretty, simple, repetitive patterns they're doodling everywhere are actually nazi as gently caress?

Although that kid may turn them into gridded squares or scribble over them when they realise they did hitler again.

I was just trying to dig up this old deviantart post from like a 13 year old girl who made some big-headed anime eyes characters that were ~edgy~ as all gently caress, i remember one of them was like, a ghost of a dead girl who had her face permanently cut and sewn into a smile and was raped to death and now she's the most badass girl ghost ever and is out for revenge!!!!

Not that she has anything to do with death metal, it's just the example I thought of when thinking "do girls do this too" :v:

St_Rev's brain is clearly functioning on some level but he has this really intense emotional block that prevents him from thinking clearly whenever he thinks his Ultimate Enemies The Progs are involved and he doesn't seem remotely aware of it.

Trump-Supporting CEO Kicked Out Of Y Combinator Startup Incubator

Headline is overegged - Andrew Torba's not actually part of Y Combinator, he got kicked from the alumni social network.

Torba is the founder of alt-right social network gab.ai, where you will apparently find all the Milo you want. Torba considers this a free speech issue; the speech in question was

On Facebook, Torba posted:

All of you: gently caress off. Take your morally superior, elitist, virtue signaling bullshit and shove it.

I call it like I see it, and I helped meme a President into office, cucks.

Torba claims they've had it in for him for months, ever since he started showing what a stupendous cock he was revealing his true feelings as a conservative Christian. 'Cos every conservative Christian I know sure says "cuck" all the time. [citation needed]

quote:

On the phone, Torba rejected the idea that he or Gab.ai were part of the alt-right. “I do not identify as alt-right. I am a conservative Christian, I am a Republican,” he said. “I don’t know why people label me.”

I am currently working at a Lutheran nursing home and I'm pretty sure I could ask every conservative Christian there if they knew what "cuck" meant and they'd say no.

And then I'd get fired when I attempt to describe what it means.

Just how in denial do you have be to think racism had no part in trump winning?

It makes perfect sense when you realize how many racists he wants to stay Facebook/irl friends with.

Scott is the Goofus of educated white men. He belongs in a cartoon network series where the consequences and corrections of his heartfelt idiocy teach valuable morals to the manchild viewership.

I mean it's right in ways he didn't intend - it is definitely a privileged position to be able to choose not to interact with shitheads who think FREAKS CREATE PROGS OCCUPY is "criticism", I'm sure there's plenty of people who are stuck in communities or families that are really awful and can't really do anything about it.

A lot of LW and post-rationalist discourse consists of feigned anger that anyone would consider some positions not worth the time of arguing with. Literally everyone, including post-rationalists, makes this call all the time but because you can't be 100% sure at all times that the crazy man screaming at you on the street isn't wrong about the sentient tapirs that control street lights, it's easy to pretend people who don't bother checking are intellectually dishonest.

And believe me: Rev's shut down well-meaning "progs" who tried to have an honest argument with him without engaging.

The funny part is this only applies to their own crazy positions, and not to other people's. Like these alt-right folks claim Twitter should be 100% uncensored, but I have yet to hear one of them speak out against their banning of ISIS accounts.

so there's been this world wide American lead multi-decade pan-national thing that has broken down borders and transferred massive amounts of material wealth into the hands of a small group, most of them white. or Chinese, since that's the only other place that really benefited from it in a major way.

and now all the whitey's who used to be well off are angry, and yeah, lots of them are super racist, but even still they have been hosed over completely, and not for any kind of egalitarian distributive reason, but so that a handful of psychopaths can get rich. so now what. it's nazis or... *insert alternative here*.
