Goon Danton posted:A number of western cartoons were boundary-pushing and transgressive in the 90s as well, at least on TV. Looking back, it's surprising things like Rocko's Modern Life or Ren and Stimpy were ever allowed to exist by the studio heads. This is going MASSIVLY off topic, but I wan't to mention something here. Yes, Ren and Stimpy and Rocko were transgressive for their time. But transgressive in a "OH DUDE! THATS loving DISGUSTING! Were really showing the squares what's what!" kind of way. You see it in comics now and then. When the topic of underground, indy, transgressive comic makers comes up the discussion is usually reserved for guys like R.Crumb or pretty much anyone who ever worked for MAD Magazine back in the day. It's rare you see someone who is trusted to be an editor for Marvel or DC say they were a fan of say Alison Bechdel, who drew comics about life in the city as a lesbian. Or anyone who say wrote about race in a way that made white people uncomfortable. Or depicted LGBT people in a positive light. Stuff like Steven Universe is still the exception, not the rule. Alex Herich, the creator of Gravity Falls, did an interview where Disney told him he couldn't do a joke where to old women kiss each other because The Disney Channel didn't wanna deal with the angry calls. When it comes to mainstream comics there is still a fight to depict LGBT themes to an extent. The biggest queer couple DC has right now is Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy and even then their relationship is rarely explicitly depicted. Edit: As for Amine/Manga. Back in the 90's-early 2000s that was on of the few places where young LGBT kids and teens got any kind of media that catered to them. Even though This one lesbian or trans character was depicted in a creepy way, it was still better than nothing. And it also didn't matter that a lot of Yaoi and Yuri or stuff with Trans characters in them were basically porn for straight people, people latched onto them because THEY were in it. Even I don't watch or real a lot of stuff from Japan today, a lot of that has stuck. Hell theirs a lot of big creators who are now making a name for themselves in their fields that were clearly inspired by Japanese media.

Jonathan McIntosh is a bad games critic. At times it feels like the only video games on his radar are the ultra violent stuff that the big companies make. I never see him talking about stuff on the indy scene or even stuff that isn't violent. Like sim games like Cities Skylines or Project Highrise, The plot heavy stuff like A Night int he Woods or Gone home. All he wants to talk about is how violence is bad. What about Hearthstone? Also The New Wolfenstine looks awesome.

NEW CONTRA POINTS!  The Left Contra posted:Political videos tend not to be interpreted very charitably (I know this video is going to be upheld by centrists as evidence I’ve “gone full Antifa” and by leftists that I’m a closet centrist) so I’d better state unambiguously what I think. I haven't watched it yet though? Kind of in the middle of another thing. But yeah, When it comes to the first paragraph on Tabby and the Antifa, as much as I cheer them on. She's not wrong.

While that article is good news, keep in mind that YouTube has also been demonitzing LGBT content for a while now. Even people like Tyler Oakley haven't been safe from it. Demonetization doesn't just mean you don't get ad money either, there's a chance your videos no longer appear on search results in youtube. And of course, youtube's terrible community mod tools allowing Nazis to get videos they don't like pulled all together.Glagha posted:Yeah I was never able to finish the Contrapoints dysphoria video. It was uncomfortable to watch which I'm sure is the point. Yeah, buts it's also so accurate. BigRed0427 fucked around with this message at 16:03 on Sep 25, 2017 |

Kind of like all Social Media platforms that are then shocked to find out how many Nazi's are hiding in their branches. THis is proof that Youtube knows just what the gently caress they are doing and wan't chaos. They are sending a clear message: We not only want you to not get paid by ads, we don't want you getting paid at all. All so they don't have to actually moderate and police their own site.

YEah, the Tamir Rice case is what got me to see Black Lives Matter was needed. Nothing like a shock to the system via white people you know defending the death of a 12 year old to wake the gently caress up.

Yeah, that's true about the monitazation. But I would rather Youtube grow a pair and declare "No Harassment, No Racism, No straight up Nazi poo poo" On their site and enforce it well rather than gently caress over everyone who makes a living off of the site. Edit: Also, I guess more poo poo is coming out about that story that was posted about Milo https://twitter.com/UnburntWitch/status/916056559226044416 https://twitter.com/sarahjeong/status/916041186124500992 I...I honestly don't know what to do about this at this point. Just...people my age who are out and out neo nazis have positions of power in business and government? gently caress.

I guess it’s just funny to trans women to watch someone who has gone all in on masculinity in its most stereotypical form, including everything toxic about it. Add all the nazi poo poo on top of it and he does become loving amazing Like he just walked out Of a third Reich propaganda poster. Contra hit the nail on the head: of the golden one did not exist, us leftists would have to create him as a straw man.

Reposting from another thread. I think a lot of this comes from the fact that a lot of Trans and NB people have experience dealing with poo poo heads who demand a debate about if they are really trans. Mostly in the guise of "Just Asking Questions". This tends to make a lot of Trans and NB people put up a permanent shield. And we do need to get better at explaining to cis people what being trans means in general. That does mean talking to people may not be the friendliest to trans people. Otherwise groups like the Daily Mail are the ones who tell our stories and they are going after anyone who says anything remotely positive about Trans People. And the "Problematic" Stuff needs to go away. Because it's basically become another form of respectability politics. And gently caress THAT poo poo. Im seeing way to many people chased out of queer and left spaces simply because they still think Hillary Clinton would have been a good president. And it's a lot of trans people being chased out by Cis people. I trust that Contra knows what shes doing when she agrees to an interview with someone like that. Or agrees to a debate with the likes of Sargon and Blair White. I think shes wasting her time with the likes of them but I trust that shes not going to suddenly become a truscum. If you are cis and you see a trans person talking to a conservative or someone who hates Trans people, Trust Us. We Know what we are doing. And she's not going to turn into Laci Green. Stop that. If/when the sex tape between her and the Golden One get's released then I'l entertain that idea but...god dammit. Please trust Trans people on this stuff.
