They want their ideology all the way to the point where they’re the target of said ideology. They’ve convinced themselves that it’s just darned SJW women that are excluded, they as conservative white women are fine and welcome. They of course miss the fact that white supremacy is also misogynistic and regressive in how it views women. Shocker!

While trying to find out who Tara McCarthy is I came across this Youtube channel Hi, I Think I'm Real who seems to be some 'centrist' alt-righter who did a video on McCarthy calling her a SJW back in August, he seems to have done these videos on a few of the alt-right women so I guess they're just not alt-right enough.

Expect they dont realize the ideology does not benefit them as much. They hear white supremacy and blut and ehre but forget that their intended duty to the eternal reich is 'make babies'.

None of them realize what would happen to them if they won even slightly. They think they’d be Ilsa She Witch of the SS and not euthanized for producing sub-optimal children.

They like the idea of being a housewife who is subservient to their husband but mistakenly thought that their male counterparts came to the same conclusion due to ideology and not misogyny. I mean, Phyllis Shafly got pretty famous advocating for her own oppression. The difference is the mainstream right is smart enough to put useful idiots in the spotlight (remember that 12 year old conservative speaker who was popular for a while?), the alt right is a bunch of angry trolls though and cares more about causing pain that actually advancing any of their beliefs.

DS2 and DS3 both have an unacceptable amount of fan service and call backs to DS1. It's lazy all around. It's also acute because none of the games, Demons Souls included, have been good on the writing front so there's no cohesive, tight narrative to tie it all together. In addition..2 was mechanically lovely and the areas were a mass of uninspired randomness that sort of blended listlessly into itself. Really, DS2 is poo poo and the people that like it probably like it because that's the first one they played or they recently fell down and hit their heads on something.

DS2 barely has any though other than Ornstein, and DS3 has a whole bunch because the point of that game is Dark Souls the video game series needs to end so they can go on to do other things. edit: Seriously, it's not just "Oh it's Anor Londo!" it's "Oh it's Anor Londo and oh jesus it's covered in slime and oh god that gross slug ate most of Gwyndolin and oh man everything's just gone to poo poo." bessantj posted:While trying to find out who Tara McCarthy is I came across this Youtube channel Hi, I Think I'm Real who seems to be some 'centrist' alt-righter who did a video on McCarthy calling her a SJW back in August, he seems to have done these videos on a few of the alt-right women so I guess they're just not alt-right enough. Well yeah, she's a woman talking politics. Hopefully this whole thing helps some of these women understand that just because they're white and say the right things doesn't mean a bunch of misogynists aren't gonna treat them like poo poo for being women.

Goa Tse-tung posted:I think he means the lore, in that DS3 did the TFA and Rogue 1 Reference thing instead of actual good writting In defense of both DS2 and 3, the series is kind of obsessed with themes like time repeating itself, memories, corruption ect. It's perfectly in keeping with these narratives to have old characters and locations constantly reappearing, looking familiar yet different and "wrong" each time they do. I think the old lady in the DS2 intro acknolwedegs this when she talks about Drangleic, which could well be Lordan in the future: "Perhaps your familiar? No, how could you be..."

It's the lore explanation for why they have the capabilities they have and why they are the way they are. Also Nashandra and the other queens are fragments of Manus. edit: There's a few weapons also, but Ornstein is the only thing that comes to mind that just seems to exist because. Heide's Tower of Flame is probably not Anor Londo and Ornstein probably did die back there, so shadow Ornstein is pure cameo. TGLT fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Dec 5, 2017 |

So because they say it's lore, it's suddenly not fan service or a callback. Then nothing in DS3 is fan service or a call back because it's got lore explanations as well. Except Andre, as far as I can remember.

Except Andre, as far as I can remember. It's not lore, it's the story. The Great Souls and Manus are the old creeping back into the new. It's a game where the downfall of everything and everyone is obsession, it's fitting that for the main four this is partly an obsession with power and the past. DS3 does have a lot of fan service, like Storm Ruler and Seigward basically being a slightly more brave Siegmeyer (edit: man I flipped them and got their names wrong, that is how much they are the same character and also how dumb that is), and probs demon ruins which is again trash poo poo, but a fair chunk of the stuff from the past isn't just fan service. I mean I haven't played the DLC so gently caress me if they went all in, but stuff like Anor Londo is back but rotten because the point of the game is things die and it's okay to let things end, and just desperately clinging on to things is bad. Like the endings for DS3 are: try to keep everything the way it is and fail, let things keep festering and be the king of a heavy metal album cover, or let the dark souls universe finally die so that something new can take it's place.

Regarde Aduck posted:BB > DS 2 > DS 1 > DS 3 Same feeling here, I played the order fairly wrenched up as people do sometimes, but still came out with 2 being my favorite of the actual Souls'es. I went from 1 to Demon's to 2 base (Which I hated then, it was on PS3 and ran like total crap it felt like) to Bloodborne to SotFS (Which I ended up enjoying a ton on PC) to 3. Part of what puts 3 so low for me is probably also just that it came out after Bloodborne, then was missing so much of the cool poo poo outta there, the entire playthrough of 3 I kept feeling like "Man, I miss trick weapons. This weapon skill system sucks. Parrying is so easy here." and it also didn't have any of the cool things 2 did either, power stance shenanigans, NG+'s being meaningfully different and also had crap features of it's own, like most everything to do with it's PvP. WampaLord posted:"And in a speech at the United Nations general assembly in September, UK Prime Minister Theresa May challenged tech firms to take down terrorist material in two hours. The prime minister has repeatedly called for an end to the "safe spaces" she says terrorists enjoy online."  the oldest oldy statement possible.

During the debacle The Left-leaning side; instead of mourning Hemper Fi (who tripped over his fedora and fell down the stairs, killing him instantaneously) had a serious debate over the Dark Souls 2 game where all the non DLC bosses were absolute dogshit and every room was a monster closet with 69 knight-style enemies. Then the The Schadenfreude Gamer (His online persona is an animated .jpg of an Auschwitz Chimney) entered the fray with a video of his debunking all of the weakass Gamers thoughts, actually, scratch that one. He was debunking their feelings about Dark Souls 2.

Hey, guys, it's me, Dongicus. Got a Destiny debate right here where he debates some freakin' retard for 3 hours who thinks it's ok that Mario got away with Goomba-Stomping (Could we find a better phrase guys?) an entire family of Goombas to death. Sickening stuff. And to think Peach rewarded him with a Golden Star for his crimes?
