No, they often do really mean what they say, it's just what they tend to talk and obsess about is inconsequential bullshit; like "sexist" clothing, or manspreading, or not enough strong independent womyn in the newest stupid hero movie rather than girls getting their clitoris mutilated as a rite of passage, or women being "honor killed" (even by immigrants in 1st world countries) because she dared to talk to a man that she was forbidden to associate with.

No, that's called "hypocrisy"

"Virtue signaling" is a dumb alt right concept that no one actually feels empathy, they're all just faking it to earn nice nice points.

I mean, you know that horrific levels of sexism such as FGM and honor killings and marital rape don't... make smaller and less violent levels of sexism like the wage gap, women automatically being assumed to not know their poo poo in specific industries based entirely off of being a woman, and the way mass media reflects and conditions people to believe basic sexist societal doctrine disappear, right? They can both be problems, friend. The problem only arises when people focus on the latter stuff (because it directly impacts them, most likely) and don't divert any resources to the former stuff.

the opposite is true. people rely on their prejudices instead of actually thinking about other people. I'm just a diaper shutting retard but the phrase 'virtue signalling' tips your hand in the same way that saying 'reverse racism' would.

conservatives do this same thing when they bitch about the war on xmas... I guess, except that sexism exists and the war on xmas doesn't? I don't know, whatever. until later , I remain,

Sometimes I visit cam sites, the ones with the naked ladies. That's not the confession.

Whenever I do this, I browse until I find a girl who's 'vaping', then type in the chat "KEEP SUCKING ON THAT ROBOT DICK!!!!"

I don't want to sound too "judgey" here but if you're specifically seeking out camgirls to send dad jokes to you might need to socialize more

I don't vape (ok I vape weed, and would recommend it, but that's it) but calling vaping sucking a robot dick has reached dad joke status by now. Like the whole covfefe thing.

I hesitate to post this next one because of the current thread discussion, but it's the last fesh I have sooooo

quote:

Of course the one anon in a million to send a followup would be the guy whining about social media, right?

I don't know, I guess I'm fed up with the whole "culture war" theater of social justice. I consider it exactly as white and privileged as the right-wing culture war where they complain about Starbucks cups. It annoys me that well-off highly-educated white women with professional jobs and nice apartments acting like they're second-class citizens because of costume design in an obscure video game they feel no desire to actually play, or because of theoretical men sitting the wrong way on the train while minding their own theoretical business (I have never seen this myself but I am assured it is an epidemic), or because famous people are in better shape than them, gets filed under the same "social justice" umbrella as, say for example, arguing against the wage gap or advocating for greater access to abortion clinics in rural areas, and gets you the same treatment if you express doubt that they're the biggest problems in the world.

It really doesn't help that the people complaining the loudest about dumb culture-war bullshit are other dumb culture warriors, IE gators and other alt-right types. Saying "I dunno, maybe not every character arc in every TV show has to be written to your exact specifications" to the white girl I know from college ranting about how Game of Thrones is sexist because last episode she had to suffer through two whole minutes of Jorah Mormont screentime (which is rape culture because fedora Nice Guy IT'S 2017 etc) would get me labeled an MRA, because the only other people nerdy enough to talk about this stuff like it matters in any way are in fact MRAs.

Basically, personally affronted nerds are the absolute worst, particularly when they're comfortable white people with no real problems in their lives, no matter what side of the political spectrum they fall on, South Park horseshoe theory truth in the middle blah blah blah

I can condense that even further: white people are entitled whiny assholes. I say that half because it's true and relevant, and half to piss off the people talking about virtue signaling ITT.

Also Ghostbusters 2016 was a bad movie and everybody knows it and the worst culture-war of all was when everybody apparently decided that it was A Referendum On Feminism and attached all of this baggage to a poorly-written pile of poo poo which should end Paul Feig's career if there's any justice in the world. There, that should piss off everyone else.

Finally, I'm an alien and I'm trying to contact Donald Trump so he can send me home. Throwing that in there to apologize for this dumb culture-war whine about dumb culture-war whining.

Really, all that was necessary (to use the word "necessary" very loosely) in that last 'fesh was to say "Yuck, I'm sick of this culture war poo poo."

Also, I enjoy the heck out of this thread for the weird/bizarre stuff, but seeing someone come back with an update that shows that they're at least considering taking some steps in the right direction is pretty drat dope. I thought for sure the next time we heard about logic dude it would be in a local news story where a monotone anchor would explain that the newly-convicted multiple felon was a frequent visitor to a suspected terror/child abduction/satanist website called something is awful dot com.

Keep up the good work, duder. The most recent confessor would benefit from following your example. :yotj:

There's no way mad at social media goon can be that upset based on the Facebook posting of their acquaintances. Like seriously, who the gently caress cares that much. There must be something more going on there. Search your soul and find out what's really bothering you, cause once you figure that out, you should be able to observe someone's petty opinion and just laugh and shake it off.

For all the bitching about Ghostbusters i enjoyed it. It wasn't a cinematic masterpiece, or even up to par with the originals, but it was fun.

Movies today are mostly fun tho, if you come at them from the angle that it's a creature feature

I have a confession. I really didn't think Suicide Squad or Batman vs Superman were that bad. They weren't very good, and were certainly too long, but there seems to be a lot of hate for these movies I really don't understand, did people think they were going to be cinema classics? Also, Ben Affleck is a better Bruce Wayne than Christian Bale.

Batman vs Superman was actually good and thank gently caress it was a new look at Batman other than a rehash of what every other movie in the past thirty years has done with the character. Suicide Squad wasn't great but was tons of fun to watch.

So yeah my confession is I think Zack Snyder is a genuinely good director and I like goofy movies.

Zack Snyder has a really good visual sense, and I think he is pretty good when he adapts other people's stuff. Watchman was really good, dumping the pirate comic stuff, and changing the ending were absolutely the right decision.

Another movie confession: Willow is a better and way more fun film than any of the Lord of the Rings or Hobbit movies.

(I made two posts about it, the second one I admit was pretty smug).
