This year's reason was more ridiculous, though; they're using her playing Pot of Greed (which allows you to draw two extra cards from your deck) during a game of Uno in a skit with one of the other hosts (I forget which one) as the reason why games are dying.

:whoptc:

I'm pretty glad I didn't read the twitch chat when I was watching SGDQ. I thought it was really well done this year and I liked having actual hosted interludes between the runs rather than just "please stand by for ten minutes while we plug in a different console".

But seriously what the hell is wrong with people. What if we had an all-trans GDQ? Would they just die of rage?

God that smarmy "You're wrong and here's why" really gets at my goat*. It's not a discussion if you start by telling the other person they're wrong and listing a bunch of reasons. That's not a discussion, that's you trying to shut someone down under a veneer of discussion. A real discussion involves asking questions while presenting your point of view.

making blanket statements about people is bad, not because you're going to hurt some white dude's fee-fees but because acting like people's behaviors is powerfully driven by their biologies is actually a fairly damaging way to diminish guilt.

the fact white men think they're entitled to grabbing everyone's honkers is a problem that needs to be solved, but acting like it's something that 'guys' do isn't really productive in any way and actually helps people avoid culpability for their actions.

Yeah because when I said cis male, I meant "as a result of the Y chromosomes". Toxic masculinity, what's that?

The defense line, "If you restrict my freedom of speech, YOU'RE the Nazi" has always struck me as evidence that a lot of people understand very little about Nazi Germany. Reminds me of the time a woman said to my dad, "[The bank] has all our money and we need them, and they charge us. If that isn't communism, I don't know what is."

I 🤗 have broken more Elton John 🏳️‍🌈 records 🔊, he seems to have a lot of records 💯. And I, by the way 👉, I don’t have a musical🎵 instrument🎷 . I don’t have a guitar🎸 or an organ 🎹 . No organ. Elton has an organ 🍆 . And lots of other people 👥helping 👌. No we’ve broken🤯 a lot of records🎰. We’ve broken virtually every record. Because you know 👓💁🏼‍♂️, look I only need this space🚀. They need much more room 🏘. For basketball 🏀 , for hockey 🏒 and all of the sports 🤼‍♀️, they need a lot of room. We don’t need it. We have people in that space 🎇. So we break all of these records. Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical 🎼 : the mouth 👄 . And hopefully the brain 🧠 attached to the mouth. Right ➡️? The brain 🐘, more important than the mouth, is the brain 🐙. The brain 🐬 is much more important 🍑🔥🔥🔥.

discussing the effects of the hosed up way men are socialized (and specifically cis men, since children who grow up to be trans are interacting with gender socialization in an entirely different way than cis male boys) is not, in fact, on the level of making up spurious just-so stories to explain why the vagina makes women only fit for homemaking, no, and I'm sorry your reading comprehension is so poor; you must spend a lot of your life being confused about things. one hint: consider the ideas of "socialization" and "biological determination" and if you try hard you might see the difference between them

Garbage tends to be the natural state of subreddits though. I don't know why you'd be surprised she got fired, either. She has an apparent history of doing very corporate unfriendly things like publicly admitting to being happy a (lovely) man died, on a social media account under her real name that lists where she works. There's only so many fires they're going to tolerate for one employee before dropping them.

I didn't research any more than what was mentioned in this thread, which said she was fired over that tweet specifically. Still, the other tweet you mention doesn't seem too egregious either imo.

Yup. Several characters close to the main character give him good reasons to abandon the isolationism. It's pretty light on dealing with race related stuff, being a Marvel movie; a lot of viewers agreed with the villain's point of view even if he went about things in a "bad" way.

It's a good movie.
