Come on man, you know exactly what I'm talking about. There's tons of subjects where people disagree on if it's good or bad or whatever and it's totally fine, but any time someone brings up anime, marvel movies, or whatever other popular thing, people come crawling out of the woodwork to post low effort one liners. It's not even that they're wrong, it's just the least interesting poo poo imaginable. You're at least having a conversation.


Every low effort rear end in a top hat posted:

Marvel movies aren't real movies.
The MCU is genius and changed movies forever.
Starwars ruined my childhood.
Starwars saved my childhood.
Anime is good.
Anime is bad.

Just remember, Reddit sucks because it's a bunch of 15 year olds having the same conversation over and over again as they age out and are replaced with the next group of 15 year olds who have the same crazy realizations.


Sometimes it's cool, but gently caress if I know where that part of Reddit is.

Marvel movies are objectively loving poo poo and that is possibly the only Redditor-infested hill I lust for death on.

I honestly cannot find the energy to care in the slightest about anime or star wars or video games, but I've been dragged to enough Marvel films by friends to be certain that they are all the same geriatric, fandom lip service designed to sell funko pops to cretins who buy gamestop shares because "the big squeeze" is coming.

But you didn't know that Thor: Ragnarok was an analogy for World War II did you? And I bet you didn't know that there were originally 19 infinity stones forged by Celebrimbor, so there is much we need to understand.

Cool because that's how I feel about movies. My life is difficult enough to watch emotion porn written by rich twats about how life is difficult for them / their characters, when I could instead turn my brain off and watch fake overpowered people punching and joking about galactic threats or whatever

Like, oh wow, this movie is so artful, even the curtains have meaning and represent her depression from the agony of losing her baby. Wow, this definitely doesn't make me feel even more poo poo than I already did.

edit: that being said there's a limit... I tried watching the fast and furious movies and just... didn't give a poo poo, even with the car-fu. same for pacific rim. it's weird how everyone has a hardon for pacific rim but marvel movies have a fair bit more... everything, than that. not a high bar, but they do clear it.

Anyway, isn't there a thread for this poo poo somewhere else?

They're fine? Some of them are good, some of them are bad. A lot of them are just noise, like most big summer blockbusters. Liking something or not liking something doesn't make you a better or worse person, and liking something low-effort doesn't make you an idiot.

Here's some reddit for the thread.

Wordle was recently acquired by the NYT, and as part of that they removed some words from the list Wordle uses for valid answers and guesses, generally those with offensive connotations or associations. This of course made Reddit very upset.

https://www.reddit.com/r/wordle/comments/spxr98/did_the_new_york_times_censor_the_word_list/

I’m bitter as hell about removing lynch. It was basically a staple of my 2-3 word opener that uses 15 unique letters and all vowels and 12 of the top 15 most used letters.

Alright, irrelevant of Whore - they removed Lynch. This was both a solution and a valid guess word. Absolutely zero reason to remove it. If someone finds Lynch offensive they should be having a good hard look at themselves.

Can it be used offensively? Sure. But so can any word. I.e., whoever censored the dictionary is an absolute loving melon.

This is actually pretty ridiculous. Offensive words are words, and playing one in Wordle is clearly different from calling someone one, as most people here understand. Also, many of the words removed are only offensive in certain contexts, and it's quite arbitrary. For example, neither academic discussions on slavery nor reproduction are considered offensive, but SLAVE is removed but PENIS is fine.

I can't even imagine any normal usage of the world slave where it could be deemed offensive.

A person's guesses aren't public... and a newspaper censoring like this is unacceptable. I'm cancelling my subscription over this. They removed the word "slave"... so if we don't say it it didn't happen? White privilege is alive.

I don't give a poo poo about Wordle in either direction. But Slave just reminds me of hard drive configurations from the early 2000's.

But I'm pretty sure I'm a minority in that one.

Why would an ambulance be leaving the hospital?

Only tenuously connected but it was funny - I work in a pharmacy and each patient has a 'nominated' pharmacy where all their electronic scripts go. Recently a guy phoned already all angry that his wife's script hadn't been filled. I checked and she was nominated with an online pharmacy. He said crossly "Yes, when we order online it goes there, but when we see the doctor in person it goes to you". I tried to explain that's not how it works and he interrupted me to say "Well EXCUSE ME but I think I KNOW" so - I checked, and sure enough it had gone to the online pharmacy. I told him and he said "Well I shall contact the doctor, but if that turns out not to be the case, I will be making a complaint." I said there was no point making a complaint to us since nobody at my company had interacted with this prescription at all and he interrupted me *again* to say "You know what, I'll make it simple, I will simply not use your pharmacy any more!" I said "You're not using our pharmacy now!" And then he yelled so I hung up.

People often give it 'I'll take my business elsewhere!' but not often when they already have.

What I like about reddit is that it sorts of works in reverse of the way it's supposed to.

If I say something factually correct that people don't like, they just mash the button, but nobody can explain why it might be incorrect. They just don't like it.

This lets me know I am correct, and people are dumb animals, and there are a lot more racist pedos out there than you would think, and it's not worth trying to explain things further to get into pointless slapfights with them.

Don't ever leave me, dead gay forums with no votes who will actually say why I am wrong if I'm wrong.

I think it's just that they won't be using the name any more.

In the TV show, they just referred to it as Boba's Firespray, which is the ship's model.

No, the whole MASTER/SLAVE thing definitely comes up in a ‘well when it was relevant tech in the 90s nobody really ever questioned it, but the second you think about it for one second it’s really not good’ way. I’m glad that is left in the past, but mainly because it was always a pain in the rear end. If it was still used, god the arguments from people demanding it shouldn’t be renamed would be so tiring.
