To be fair, even as a dumb kid who fell asleep during the last action scene of transformers, I thought they were building up Mikaela as the stealth hero of the movie with all the writing around her. Though I think it's very weird that Michael Bay named the hot sexy female lead after himself. (Or maybe it was the writers? idk)

e X posted:Lindsay says that there are still some legal trouble to move out of the way before they can go fully public again. But iir, the site is actually up again. As far as I could tell his whole thing was antagonizing dumbos who are hostile to anything other than a literal reading. His readings would often shift premises and vocabulary and employ appeals to authorial intention in flagrantly nonsensical ways. There's a reason his "favorite" movies were marvel poo poo and big-budget scifi/nerd franchises. He may have seriously viewed film from a cultural materialist perspective, but he didn't care about the quality of his analysis nearly as much as baiting nerds into melting down by "ruining" The Avengers or whatever.

Something odd happened. I was looking up CrazyGoggs's old videos mocking the TvTropes forums, and I searched for one I thought I remembered where TVT was having a meltdown over Google pulling ads because the site hosted some disgusting stuff. Anyways, when I searched this, I got twelve results: Goggs's Innocent Panties video, Mister Metokur, Sargon of Akkad, and the first season of Corner Gas (for some reason). I'm still amused that Metokur and Sargon both show up when I'm specifically looking for horrible content to be mocked.

On a completely unrelated note, can anyone tell me what the music is at the end of HBG's "Antifeminism VS FACTS" video? It's p. boss.sexpig by night posted:she's spent the other 99% of her time online being a generic fanfic nerd, dude.

It's Sewer Surfing from TMNT: Turtles in Time for the SNES. And yeah it's only a worry if you suddenly wake up to a tweetstorm of "Did you know, hmmmm, that you can be friends with people you disagree with???? It's. Only. A. Difference. In. Opinion. Besides Gender Critical People are more open minded than TransPeople and-" or if there's outright a weird corraling around her.

My hand just did the biggest hand jack off motion when she started rambling about "the free market place of ideas". I mean yeah there's issues, but then a lot of stuff does get dismissed on the arguments as to how that stuff is like that in the first place.

Same here. If I ever had to pick between these two I will pick the Antifa Cat girl every time. But I do get where Contra is coming from in her criticisms of her. For Example, with regards to the PSL chapter I've been to a few meetings of. No one wants a war with North Korea. NOBODY. Millions will die and possible doom the planet for good. And I will champion everyday to make sure that never happens. What I am not going to do however is defend the Jim Kong family or the DPRK Government. Or pretend that North Korea is some kind of Utopia. Any government that demands worship of it's leaders under penalty of law is immediately suspect to me. Edit: Yeah, here's Contra's notes on it. Contra posted:Political videos tend not to be interpreted very charitably (I know this video is going to be upheld by centrists as evidence I’ve “gone full Antifa” and by leftists that I’m a closet centrist) so I’d better state unambiguously what I think.

I have read the comment on the bottom and this makes a bit more sense on my head. I'm far more charitable to this video now! And re: NK, it got the point where even stating that sanctions that attack industries where regular North Koreans could actively work with other countries and in a way seek something better than their standards (I'm thinking of the industry parks on the border) were a bad idea, heck, the idea of even seeing the people there are humans is met with outright derision and accusations of being a NK/Russian agent.
