jeffrey the only flesh sack that's going to die is your scrotum after you face me in the Scrotal Punishment Octagon, a new fighting sport i have invented in my free time.

PHIZ KALIFA posted:

"Wow Phiz how does it work? you ask." simple. we face each other in an octagon, trouserless, with a pliant strap of leather clutched between our hands. The leather is braided with barbed wire, and i whip it at your crotch so fast you wish i had not done this action.
"is it possible to whip you, in response?" yes but this is inadvisable, as i am very good at whipping. "this sport seems unfair." oh it is, my children. it is.

There are a lot of great people that work for Marvel as creators and I can only imagine how crushing this whole thing would be for some of them.

BravestOfTheLamps posted:

I wonder how they felt about Iron Man 1.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:

You never get tired of making this same post huh

BravestOfTheLamps posted:

That's because it's true. The people who idolize Iron Man are outraged that Marvel teamed up with real-life Stark Industries.

Marvel announced a partnership with a real-life weapons manufacturer (and quickly canceled it after a lot of people brought up how hosed up that is).

do they know that Iron Man is a fictional movie?

Also in the movie Iron Man wants to stop on the weapons manufacturing

Granted the morality can seem a bit muddled since ultimately he's deciding weapons are bad unless he's the one using them.

He doesn't do it though.

Neddy Seagoon posted:

Yes he does. The whole reason they try to force him out of the company in the first movie is because he kills off the weapons division entirely. The whole issue with it getting muddled is when he starts making weapons for the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. Even then, that's an actual part of his character development through the movies where he's getting panicky and self-destructive ever since the New York Attack, trying to do the right thing and protect people by building the biggest toys.

He doesn't do it though. It's easy to be like "guns " while still making money hand over fist - on guns, and wars.

Nerd-fascists simply took the concept of 'SJWs', which were actually just idiot college kids, and deployed the full logic of antisemitism: the SJWs controlled the (videogame) media, they were trying to eliminate the white race (from videogames), etc.

When you see these fascists talking about 'meme magic', the meme they're referring to is this antisemitism. The goal is to get followers to be always thinking about - and always blaming - the SJWs. The 'cuck' meme promoted fear of miscegenation and impotence. The 'safe space' and 'trigger' memes promoted fear of exclusion, of being demonized. And so-on.

[These memes, of course, simultaneously emphasized the pathetic weakness of the omnipotent enemy. That's the paradox of antisemitism.]

With this established, and a subset of nerds convinced that all virtual reality was secretly controlled by a cabal of pink-haired women, it was very easy to say that reality itself was also under the pink-haired women's control.


Trump uses 'meme magic' in a very similar way, going back to the birth certificate meme. All the world's ills are blamed on Obama and Hillary, who also control the FAKE NEWS. When Trump constantly reminds his followers how close Hillary was to taking power, that's not bragging - that's a threat. "If anything happens to me, your world will end." It's putting things in apocalyptic terms

SuperMechagodzilla posted:

Fascists deliberately exploited nerd anger by promoting the mediocre Ghostbusters remake as an example of Degenerate Art and evidence of Jewish control over the media.

Fascists realized that those people who are still outraged at the Star Wars prequels, nearly twenty years later, could be wound up and aimed at nearly any target.

You're going back to the 1940s and saying "it was just some abstract paintings, not many people cared".

SuperMechagodzilla posted:

You are talking about Ghostbusters, unfortunately, because antisemitism works. You're not talking about Spiderman 7 or the fuckin emoji movie, are you? Nope, because the ghostbusters thing is a straightforward example of gamergate tactics being applied to Hollywood.

There's a very obvious pattern:

1. Promote nerd outrage: get nerds really, really upset that Ghostbusters is bad. It's raping your childhood, etc.

2. Use 'meme magic': sneak antisemitism into the discussion, and ensure that it spreads. Your childhood is being raped by the SJWs. Ghostbusters is degenerate art. Feminists, in league with the globalist Jews, are destroying western culture.

3. 'Teach the controversy': get enough attention that news sites are forced to comment on this internet phenomenon.

4. Promote any subsequent defence or praise of the 'evil' film as proof of unethical Jewish control over the media. "It's about ethics in journalism."

5. Repeat.

This same tactic was used to influence the 2016 presidential election.

When you say 'the answer is in the middle,' in America, that puts you firmly in the lame center-right.

This South Park approach - like, 'forget about and it'll go away' - doesn't work. It hasn't gone away. And that's because, like I said, antisemitism works. The SJW conspiracy theory is an effective source of 'cognitive mapping'. It has an explanatory power.

The only way out is through: you need ideological critique of this stuff, to get to the truth of the matter. And the truth is that, since America has no Left, fascists have made themselves into America's sole voice of anti-liberalism.

Although Trump is a liberal, they're using Trump to achieve their goals in the same way they used videogame tits and Taylor Swift.
