I've never heard any blowback against peanut butter other than "ehhhh, I don't really care for it" or "It will literally kill me". It's not nearly as big of a thing anywhere else that I've been or seen but it's nowhere near Marmite or Vegemite.

I wish anyone involved with Gamergate (pro or anti) would shut their loving mouths because I don't care what they want in life, but they keep thinking they're so special.

lmao

On the topic of FemFreq though. Anita takes so many precautions to make it abundantly clear that you can enjoy things while still being critical towards them, and is going to such lengths to make sure that the videos don't come off as sarcastic or condescending to the point where they feel a bit lifeless and they don't really hit as hard as I'd like them to. They are good introductions to the concepts for people who don't really know of them though. I just find it funny that the narrative where she's this incredibly radical strawman became so incredibly widespread, or at least I would find it funny if it wasn't so god drat sad.

The only thing that I liked by Max Landis was "Wrestling isn't Wrestling" since it's pretty fun and entertaining.

I also really like The Death and Return of Superman. It's not as good as Wrestling isn't Wrestling though.

American Ultra seems like it would've been a lot better if they scaled it down. Max Landis works best on small scale productions, and a new IP can't really compete with the familiar stuff on the level where they tried to unless it's something way more interesting or has a massive name behind it. Oh and they should've brought in a director who actually knew what they were doing.

BottledBodhisvata is an awful poster, a complete piece of poo poo, and someone who cares too much about ethics in Internet reviewing. Hideo Kojima claimed that the justification of Quiet's design would be so good and powerful that everyone who complained about it would feel ashamed by their words and actions.

I love phelous and the movies. (I'm a bit sad that he gave that show a name but I really appreciate where it came from). He knows what makes good horror good really well and is really good at articulating on why these bad movies fail at it. He's at his best when reviewing an adaptation or remake of something he really likes, Silent Hill Revelations(?) is one of my favorite reviews of his because he gives a lot of insight on why the game works as well as it does and how the movie completely misses the point.

I really don't think it's fair to compare phelous jokes with NC when it comes to running them into the ground, he doesn't try to force them into situations where they don't work, they are actually funny, and they are short. I still laugh at the "I got a shotgun", "the nightmare becomes reality", -and Barry Burton line gags.

It's almost like the movie realizes that it doesn't need to tell its audience that smoking is bad and by applying the same rhetoric about the main character that he applies to smoking it adds a nice extra layer to itself.

It's not so much a derail that everyone is playing it, so those little two-post discussions that normally slip by about some game or other in an unrelated thread are on a much larger scale.

The fact that it happened to pretty much every thread on the forums and the people doing it took any and all criticism as a personal insult… y'know what? MGSV is pretty much the new dark souls in terms of insufferable fanbases that makes me never want to play a game.

My point was that saying the MG series in general is bad is something that will cause a thread derail. Whether or not I agreed with that sentiment is irrelevant.

I never claimed it was revenge porn, I said that he retweeted a comic depicting her in a 6 person gangbang. It turned out that he just linked the comic in his tweet. I also claimed that it was JonTron who deleted his tweet but it turned out have been the plebcomics author who deleted the comic, probably because not even she wants to be associated with GG. No, I don't find it funny, plebcomics is not even close to funny, it's even less funny than Control + Alt + Delete because with CAD you can at least laugh at loss.jpg but plebcomics is just some channer trying way, way, way too hard to be edgy.

Nice comment asking if this was causing me a panic attack by the way. Did you come up with that "shaking" line all by yourself? Don't you have any more questions like asking if I'm triggered or ironically saying something about checking ones privilege like a true king of comedy would?

Edit: it's not a "raunchy joke", people were, and still are, using her sexual agency to undermine all her life's accomplishments and trying to use it to ruin her life. The same basis for this joke is the entire foundation for GG. That comic is saying that because of her sexual history none of her complaints are valid and if glorious internet sensation JonTron wants to call her retarded for thinking she has the right to an opinion he should be allowed.

Note: I'm not saying that JonTron called Zoë Quinn retarded, I'm saying that's what the comic that he tweeted our depicted him doing.
