I love people pretending they gave a poo poo about She-Ra before the new cartoon was announced. It was only on for like a year, my mom tells me I liked the show but I have no memories of it and knowing my young brain I probably thought it was just episodes of He-Man (It was off the air long after I realized Star Wars was three separate movies and not a tv show). I'm in my 30's

Good chance your mom thought it wad an episode of He-Man too!

I am so incredibly liberal and left wing. That's why I strongly dislike when people are left wing.

Homophobia, racism, sexism have more blood on it's hands as movements overall, but a racist rear end in a top hat saying "yeah man gently caress the blacks amiright" isn't killing anyone. One rear end in a top hat not vaccinating their children against preventable, lethal diseases is directly putting their kids as well as all the kids they meet in harms way.

There is no :psyduck: big enough for this post.

Edit - Interesting that a "fresh" account goes straight to this thread to start arguing about how racists deserve a voice.

What exactly did Cain do that was transphobic? All I can find is people calling her that for not including a trans character in Maneaters

The tweets have her stating that everyone should be referred to with gender neutral pronouns only.

I rememeber 2013 era "Lol look at the SJWs" and it was honestly not much better than now.

That was the origin of attack helicopter jokes, and people seemed conpletely ready to disregard any concept no matter how valid because kids on tumblr didn't have the best understanding of it.

you know, seeing this here reminds of when someone recently asked me why people keep posting about vic in this thread since he doesnt really have anything to do with comics and i couldnt give an answer

Since I asked that I think I've since remembered that ComicsGate people decided to support Vic too, so that's probably why.

Still, I don't think a video clip of him making creepy comments to a child was something that was needed.

You guys could at least try to give the impression that you're not just patting each other on the back about the fact that you're not nazis whenever someone suggests that that the language/attitudes you're expressing in this thread isn't the greatest.

Part of the problem is that humor is in part pain related. It's that shared wince at a memory. If you have to remove all sharpness out of language you end up with a joyless safespace. Balance is needed, and is healthier.

I mean, I make fun of my own anxiety issues all the time with dumb humor, but having somebody else make uncomfortable jokes with language that's punching down wouldn't be appreciated. Like, Jesus Christ, it's not that hard to just go "Oh, sorry, I don't want you to be uncomfortable with x joke" and just drop it.

And you shouldn't. But here's how his should have went:

Other dude: "some dumb poo poo he shouldn't say.".

You: "hey that word makes me uncomfortable, can you not use it like that."

Other dude: "oh I'm sorry, yes I'll stop using it in here."

Done. Instead you came off like a right wing parody of the left and the other dude is coming off like a loving stupid rear end in a top hat, and we've got a page long derail. Just awesome.

I mean, all that happened was Covok asking to not use "triggered" like that, and then me pointing out how dumb it is to get hostile over that and shitposting in kind to Rhyno's garbage post.

Roth

Yeah, to me the important thing about leftist thought is the desire to self-improve and learn how to be a better person. I guess my posts come across as rather hostile, but I'm mostly just annoyed that it feels like every time Site, Archy, or Covok point out something problematic in the thread it feels like that person takes it as a personal attack and immediately starts doubling down. Then suddenly they're the bad guys for voicing dissent. It's not just this thread either, it's all over BSS and SA itself as well.

If you've read anything Lindeloff has said this is 100% the case. He's a rich white guy who's totally out of touch. Him thinking that thirty years of a liberal president would be enough to fix the cops and make it so police and white supremacists aren't a Venn diagram that's just a single circle is proof enough of that even discounting all the incredibly dumb stuff he's been saying lately.

The show is blatantly anti cop

The second episode has the police force arrest an entire trailer park in retaliation without any evidence while the chief of police was revealed to have a klan hood, so I'd love to hear how you came to that conclusion
