ate poo poo on live tv posted:But in that case isn't it just a synonym for "I don't like that?" Video games were "problematic" for the wives of Gore and Clinton. But who cares? Sounds like a signal word to dismiss the speaker out of hand. the gamergate weirdo is very upset that people use a word that hurt his feelings raise hands all those who are surprised

if only there was a politically correct term, for something you find more complex than a simple 'it's bad' "complex-y", perhaps. or "issueful."

A Gnarlacious Bro posted:Woke fantasy novels it ties in, dumbly enough. half of Tolkien's expressed motivation was that he felt the English didn't have a culture, and so he was going to write them one the cultural hegemon never thinks they have a culture, which ties in pretty neatly to why you see all the dumb alt-right poo poo. people desperately reaching for a cultural identity because they don't have a culture, they're just -normal-

mastershakeman posted:English culture is trash garbage so once again Tolkien was right i mean, no argument here, but the poor isolated nerd was under the impression that it flat-out did not exist as opposed to existing and being a garbage fire of pedophilia, alcoholism, and worshipping inbred germans useless trivia: the entire nation of Gondor is a shot at the Scots. there's a line when Our Heroes first meet Faramir, and he explains no, I'm not the prince, I'm just the steward's kid. "in lesser kingdoms, a Steward might take the throne after a few generations; in Gondor not ten times that number would suffice." wave hello, House Stuart of Scotland, origin High Steward #7 saying "yeah we are not going to sit around waiting for the House of Bruce to come back, I'm the first king of House Steward, raise hands all those who have a problem with this, this will expedite traitor hand-removal."

Ytlaya posted:I could actually buy the idea of Ambien increasing the chance of someone blurting out bad thoughts they already believed but chose not to express, in the same way as alcohol or something. this is actually -kind- of a thing. ambien is one of those things you're not supposed to take for too long or else the chances of Bad poo poo happening increase, particularly if mixed with alcohol. fun fact: the vast majority of drug abuse in the military is sleep aid abuse! booze is slightly harder to come by, but sleeping pills are easy, and the average soldier is nothing if not ingenious when it comes to finding a way to get hosed up. thing is, getting PROPERLY hosed up on ambien can lead to a straight up disassociative fugue state, where you start treating the waking world like it's a particularly lovely dream, and start acting accordingly. the chuds are obviously grasping at straws here to justify defending Roseanne, but Ambien's shot back is at least a little classic woke brand behavior. yes, racism is not a recorded side effect of ambien. taking a gun, wandering off base and shooting up a building full of iraqi civilians, well, look, that only happened that dozen or so times

the two dumbest ideas in tabletop rpgdom being bad for the opposite reason from each other is legit interesting, imo. the gypsies book makes for a pretty neat set of adventure hooks! if you didn't know that the romani were real people, and not some kind of loving orc put on the face of the planet to be murdered for loot, it could fit in pretty much any fantasy setting. it's a very Woke Brands brand of hideous: real-world horrors being thrown through the corporate meat grinder to produce some delicious current-events-flavored Content(tm) by comparison the holocaust one treats its subject matter with the seriousness it is due. no secret vampire wizard satan bullshit behind Auschwitz or Birkenau. just pure man's inhumanity to man, and a great raw wound in our self-conception as civilised peoples that's still red and ragged today. SO WHO WANTS TO PLAY PRETEND ABOUT IT, GANG!

OmanyteJackson posted:I don't get this, tabletop rpgs have been reactionary edgelord poo poo since the beginning. Is it really just adding loving frog that made people realize this poo poo is not woke? It's a genre made by and for "WW2" and "civil war" historical artifact collectors. white wolf's corpse is interesting in this regard because, bless them, they tried to push the limits in the way only a bunch of 90s kids could. where they were good, they went places that nobody else went and told very interesting stories about it. for example, the core concept of the gameline Exalted: "at any given time in this bronze-age-ish world, three hundred people who can reach Superman-level expertise in any given field of human achievement exist. the foundation of civilization is regularly finding and killing them before they have a chance to grow into their full powers. because before that was the case, there was not civilization. there were three hundred god-kings, and there were the inconveniently free-willed game pieces they used to play games with. you are one of the returning baby god-kings. the world wants you dead. surely, they are wrong to want this! you could help them against all the problems that beset them! IF ONLY YOU COULD MAKE THEM LISTEN TO YOU." it's an excellent setup! as a game about being ludicrously powerful, players inevitably move towards doing awful things in the name of accomplishing their goals because they can, and there's almost noone who can stop them! where they were bad, well, the phrase "competitive child gang-rape" appeared more than once. where they were good they were very very good, and where they were bad they justifiably put people off the hobby forever.

MizPiz posted:Given Venom's clear pro-poly message, the symbiotes should've only responded to xe/xer pronouns and get very pissed if they weren't. this is particularly entertaining because venom does have a pronoun thing, and it's that Venom gets pissed when not referred to in the plural eddie because eddie needs it to be clear that it's not HIM doing this poo poo, no, it's the symbiote, and the symbiote because it really likes Eddie and wants him to feel like he's more a part of what they do. (the chapo guys talking about how Venom is a facebook movie are much, much righter than they know, the few decent venom stories are all about Eddie and the symbiote as a barely-even-subtext story about toxic relationships and addiction.)

get that OUT of my face posted:people are going to get tired of this poo poo at some point, the over-the-top articles declaring their importance aren't going to get as many clicks, and entertainment will evolve in kind. that's what i keep telling myself, but this didn't start under trump and it's not going to end after he's gone the larger problem is the slow death of legacy media woke branding is one of the only ways anyone has been able to come up with to get people thirty and younger to exchange money for media product, and the number of investors content to put their money in a product whose growth prospects are minimal is somewhere in the low zero range. the only way you will see an evolution is if something else gets them to start paying.
