I remember that thread, I was living in Novato at the time near there and I was like WTF when he said he called his mom to bring him chicken fries from BK or something, I remember thinking if there was even a BK in the county, I think there's one in all of Marin.

I bought a thing of chicken fries recently and couldn't help but think of Muerte's ill-fated attempt to walk across the country, as well as how much chicken fries are overhyped and garbage.

I think (and someone correct me if I’m wrong here, I’m not exactly woke, mostly cat napping) any racism, even that for irony or humor, is still racism.

Me personally, I think of it like the Bronies. Even the most ironic or innocent brony was still into a pre-pubescent animated girls show. So yes, there were good people that were bronies, but they had the common thread of loving that little girls show. They had, in essence, touched the poop as we say.

I’ve said some extremely racist poo poo “for the lols” but I honestly wish I hadn’t. It doesn’t age well and it’s terrible to remember. Just like I suspect the bronies feel nowadays.

No, you're right. Its kinda weird to be saying its ok in 2022 especially post Trump.

I dunno about the bronies thing cause I dunno that anything has to be for little girls and not boys. For Christmas I also gave everyone in my family Legos and they were finished before the rum came out. A bunch of 30-80 year olds having the time of their life playing with toys for 6 year olds.

Red Dawn had a socialist revolution in Mexico mean the Soviets could use ground troops from the south, and I think Red Alert 2 had something similar. If your plot demands Soviet tanks rolling around America without a naval landing I guess it’s necessary.

Although World in Conflict did have a combo naval/airdrop on Seattle and it owned. Dang I wish that series had taken off.

Are bronies still a thing? I stumbled into the attendees of a brony con at a restaurant 7 or 8 years ago and honestly haven't heard of them since. Assumed it had just run its course as "ironic" fads tend to do.

Also goons were wrong about furries so I'm off the brony hate train (unless they've gone fash).

It's worth remembering that there are still plenty of people in our parents or grandparents generation who grew up as a discriminated against minority and didn't ascend to whiteness until well into adulthood. "Ironic" racism from our generation is still poking directly at racial trauma in living memory.

Also based on a good chunk of my ex-family, ironic racism against groups now deemed white seems to turbocharge their white fragility and motivate them to punch down harder to justify their white status.

So, uh, why do you specifically call it out for being a show for girls? What difference would it make if it were a show for boys? This is something that's always bothered me about the goon response to bronies. There's this undercurrent that isn't there for other kids' shows.

My experience with bronies is that from the outside it was hard to quickly tell the people looking for wholesome emotional nurturing they can't find conforming to patriarchal norms of media consumption and the ones inappropriately romanticizing and sexualizing characters representing underage girls.

It’s a show for pre-pubescent girls. Not women, not young ladies, but little girls. Being 21+ and a man obsessed with something for little girls is not healthy, even if it’s not done in a way that hurts anyone else.

Re: Bronies- I actually know someone who did serious academic work on the Bronie phenomenon, and she told me that the vast majority of Bronies were straight, white men in their early 20s who were generally well socialized, if not a bit introverted, and weren't drawn to the show for sexual reasons. It's not my cup of tea but I generally regard them as weird but overall harmless.

But speaking of something that is harmful to kids- armed agents of the state being tapped to be substitute teachers because teachers are out sick with COVID or quarantining. And by the looks of the cop's mug in the top right photo, the children are never too young to learn about the cabal of Satanic pedophile Democrats and Donald Trump's personal war against them as told by the prophet Q.
