Waffleman_ posted:We're going to show how unique we are by demonstrating our love of popular culture and also a popular shoe company I guess Pretty much, its corporate branding by stealth. People think they're being giant nerds but they're just recasting a ceremony in popular brands [of geek culture]. Something you expect to see on an episode of BBT.

Sham bam bamina! posted:I figured it out. It's social. You're not into Harry Potter, you're into being into Harry Potter. Because being into Harry Potter is something that enough people do that they form a community of practice, which raises that practice (being into Harry Potter) into something far more significant than if you're just reading the books for yourself. It becomes an identity for the group instead of an individual activity, and if you join that group, congratulations, it's your identity too. So now being into Harry Potter is something that you strengthen in order to define yourself, and then you're putting the Sorting Hat on Aunt Linda so she can be in the right House for the reception. +1 insightful That was where I was going with BBT, it's an otherwise unremarkable sitcom about "young people these days" dressed up in pop culture/brands. It's looking to trade on that identifying urge. Compare and contrast with the British IT Crowd where the pop culture references are mostly set-dressing and the really nerdy approach to life is the plot and the contrast with otherwise "normal" people. Deformed Church posted:I think weddings are about the bridge and groom but not necessarily for them. Like, if something's important to you it's fair game to include it however weird and nerdy it is, but if you've got all your family and friends joining in it's disrespectful to turn it into something they don't understand or enjoy and therefore can't participate in. It's selfish. Weddings are that classic occasion where you really do make some kind of statement to your circle, unfortunately here the statement is "you get to play Star Wars because we like to play Star Wars". It isn't just the labels, nor the selfishness, it's the degree of planning and detail that goes into that which is the freaky thing.

change my name posted:I know it's a gauche podcasting trope at this point, but I'd totally listen to an Fplus D&D session (bringing it up since poo poo from the game kept getting mentioned in one form or another on the stream) YES HELLO I'VE COME TO YOU GUYS FOR INSIGHT. I NEED HELP CREATING A RACIST CHARACTER. HE HAS PERSONAL REASONS FOR HATING ELVES BUT WHAT I NEED ARE MORE GENERALIZED REASONS THAT BIGOTED PEOPLE MIGHT USE TO JUSTIFY THEIR HATE TOWARDS ELVES. WHAT KIND OF STEREOTYPES CAN HE USE TO SWAY PEOPLE OR FIND SYMPATHIZERS? IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE LORE THAT COULD BE SLANTED OR TWISTED TO PUT ELVES IN A BAD LIGHT? WHAT DO THOSE DANDELION-EATERS DO THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO RIP THEIR POINTY EARS OFF?

I think the fplus tag says it all: "oppression fetish". That describes half the internet and at least half of political activity these days and no I'm not describing the "left" half. edit: episode 103 is funny and covers the incel thing from the mra aspect. ewe2 fucked around with this message at 08:08 on Apr 29, 2018 |

I'm a little astonished that the links from ace 2018 would lead to something so bizarre and hilarious besides that meltdown. It does seem like someone was trying to make money from one conference to bankroll...2 more conferences at the same time?

My only issue seems to be that the css in the left sidebar seems to be wonky in relation to the right side, it has empty space above it and the fplus logo at the bottom is partly cut off on my desktop (Linux Chrome Version 72.0.3626.28 (Official Build) beta (64-bit)). I shall utilize the various versions of feedback to alert Lemon to this issue!

Waffleman_ posted:Why are these old men giving testicles to their children and nephews Did anyone else listen to the recent Dollop episode about the Truck Nutz wars? It was extremely about old men and their balls. We're talking big balls here, massive balls, huge balls. Also I went back into the extra credit catalogue today and found the Readers Digest ep...oh god shoot me now.

Dragonatrix posted:Anne Frank the Hedgehog is an internet classic. Where is that from, I get lost a bit with all the sonic references in many of the fplus/extra credit eps (i was never a sega nerd). There is the most ridiculous list in ep 231 and anne frank wouldn't have seemed out of place.

It was great, I am concerned about Lesbiathan, she seems to be overcome with all this bizarre stuff. I won't forget Smurfette dreams and Glovey in a hurry, it's as if they realized no one had "value-added" this property yet and got to serious work. The depth of "lore" was worse than a Tolkien appendix!

My rule of thumb is to ask "is it like timecube? then it's insane". If there's a pattern of logic based on a bizarre assumption plus an adversarial attitude to skeptics, they're probably nuts.
