Al Borland Corp. posted:So I'm in Amsterdam and keep seeing this street performer in the square dressed as a native American in like fake garb with headdress getting pictures for money. I kind of want to explain to him that actually really a problematic and racist appropriation of native American culture. But this may be a bad idea. Any thoughts? The Dutch have a really hosed up idea/sense of humor. It's usually always done at others' expense, and when you try to tell them it's in bad taste, they will look at you as though you're from Mars and/or tell you "it's all in good fun." Don't. They're a remarkably friendly yet *insular* country.

moostaffa posted:Same thing about that youtube "prankster" who showed up with a swastika armband. "He's not really a nazi, it's just a prank". The armband is from a different Trump rally where he was trying to get Trump supporters (probably paid actors) to get mad at him. To show that Trump supporters aren't Nazis. His other videos include 1) putting Trump merchandise in/on a car and paying black people to destroy it to show how violent black people are. "Social Experiment" 2) holding an AllLivesMatter sign and doing the same as above 3) urinating into his own mouth

Hollismason posted:So does that Stormcaller? website have it's own hosting or something why is it still up on Google? Bad use of tense in the article, Google's statement is that the registration will be canceled in the near future (booting a paying customer probably has a long internal process to go through). We are also still within the 24-hour deadline GoDaddy gave so they may not have even moved the site yet.

Like if they're well aware of the fact that they suck and are engaging in inherent suckiness and being a poo poo degenerate excuse human being and it's all supposed to be "ironic" than what's the point? It just looks ritualistic? I get that they try to explain it away as "for the memes" or "just bein' ironically dumb and stupid hurr hurr durr" but like literally just why? What's the thought process? What does it achieve? Why do they where this "ironically stupid and racist but really actually just stupid and racist" poo poo like it's some sort of badge of honor? Back a bit. But it's all for the sense of community, belonging to something that's bigger than yourself and also finding some kind of purpose/meaning in it. Especially if it's nonconformist/out there to a lot of people there's a feeling of being special that goes with that.

Skinty McEdger posted:The replies are exactly what you would think and equally depressing in their own way. As someone that has enjoyed gaming for like 30 years of his life now and really would rather just see it as an outlet for recreation, fun and innocent poo poo like that I still cannot fully express how continually dismayed I am that the hobby has been in large part co-opted or at the very least now publicized as an outlet for the alt-right and racist awful views and narratives post Gamergate. Like I tried to express a while back I'm sick to loving death of just wanting to go unload and play a good game after work sometimes and that quite often I can no longer go onto a video game related message board or use a chat service without having to hear a bunch of loving shitheads freaking the gently caress out again that god forbid there's a minority character in a video game somewhere and lovely narrativism about how it's "being forced in for PC reasons" when all I really want to do is just play or talk about a goddamn loving game in non-political and identity politics contexts and save opining about that sort of stuff (in not lovely ignorant terms of course) for where it's contextually appropriate like ummmm say this thread. Is the character interesting, do they have a good move set, is the game fun, does the character work well with a character another friend might be using in a Multiplayer game? I miss when these used to be the pressing issues you would expect people to be concerned with and talking about in the gaming sphere instead of is the character black or white, male or female, does the game express right wing or left wing views, does this game make men or women look week or strong over the other sex etc? Like how did that hobby ever become about that besides Gamergate? Also fully support Discord's move here but at the same time it's been overdue for years in getting rid of toxic bullshit. Just get that extremist political poo poo the ever loving gently caress out of a simple hobby that's supposed to be fun and bring people together and do it as fast and sufficiently as you possibly can. I really don't want it to get close to the point again where I feel like if I identify as a passionate gamer that there's only a couple degrees of separation from people assuming that means I'm some kind of racist, alt-right degenerate shithead.

It could go either way. I tend to think it would go south fast as Trump breaks the seal on this awesome new power. Being President has got to be getting dull and the other power he has (nukes) affects his hotel business.
