So it's an app to help you cancel companies. Sounds a bit woke to me....

No, see, it's different. We're protecting people from the wokesters, who cancel people and businesses out of pure malicious hate for white Christians.

Also the replies to that your quoted post are 90% horrible hand-wringing about how all the students should be barred from law forever and how uncivilized and weak they are, and how they'll cry about the slightest thing and won't last in the real world.

Love me some fash bitching about people using their free speech.

Because, to them, "free speech" means "you have to shut up and listen to me and then keep shutting up".

Just like how "freedom of religion" just means Christian nationalism. At least they went mask off with that one

As far as I know, the case that the Mario movie is “anti-woke” is reverse engineered from the facts that critics (who are woke elites) generally don’t like it, and that it made money, which woke things can’t do.

It's reverse engineered from desperation for a W after a bunch of hicks filmed themselves pissing and crying over rainbow beer cans.

This loving guy comes into the store I work wearing a shirt that shows an cross covered in an American flag and an AR15 leaning against it and it says something like,

I LOVE TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY
WITH MORE GUNS THAN LIBERALS
WHERE WE STAND FOR THE FLAG
WHERE WE KNEEL FOR THE CROSS
WHERE WE KNOW WHICH BATHROOM TO USE

Which is more or less just a shirt that says

gently caress you, those affected by gun violence
gently caress you, black people and non-whites
gently caress you, Jews and Muslims
gently caress you, trans people

I want to say, get the gently caress out of the store you loving sentient barnacle, but my boss has told me I have to help everyone, including old assholes with stupid shirts but also Nazis with swastika tattoos. It's a business, I guess.

He got into a screaming argument with a ten year-old kid because the kid jokingly said he owned the store.

YOU DON'T OWN poo poo! YOU'RE JUST A BRAT! YOUR PARENTS OWN EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU DO!!!

old man calm the gently caress down you've lived nine times longer than this kid has

e: I guess it's not social media, though...

I'm not good at the biology or chemistry or really any science that doesn't involve a sphere on a frictionless plane, but this post reminds me that I've seen people posting studies lately that generally trend to indicate that lead is stored in the bones and lead stored in the bones seems to reenter the bloodstream with loss of bone density due to age.

So, I mean, yeah if that science is accurate get ready for the boomers and Xers to only get dumber, angrier, and more paranoid.

There are sadly a lot of people who just don’t get art/don’t understand how specific forms work and get stuck on extremely literal, weird judgments. Think of it like CinemaSins but for the Mona Lisa.

"hey reddit I spent 3.4 trillion hours on this photorealistic painting of something incredibly boring but now it's a painting!"

YaketySass posted:

An actual artist could do this and come up with a more interesting result, but these dullards want some sort of "objective" result extrapolated from what's available, which can only be the most boring interpretation. Which is to say:

They're just absolutely perfect examples of how loving bad we are at teaching critical thinking. To consider a machine that was created and trained by humans "unbaised" is just a failure of critical thought right out the gate.

I saw that and almost posted it myself, but looking at her twitter feed I'm pretty sure she's joking.

Edit: actually looking at her feed again, I don't know why I thought it was a joke.

It says a lot that this parses as a joke, but is apparently sincere. The inverse SMBC AAAH.

Stupid snowflakes. Don't they know they've won a free cruise?

It's definitely not because our phone system has been made basically defunct for most of these kids lives thanks to unfettered spammers and scammers. It's definitely just that they have made up anxieties because they weren't abused enough or something. Idk I'm not lead poisoned enough to get it.

The two most anxious people in my life (my partner and best friend) are serial unprompted callers.

Meanwhile, my anxiety immune rear end is the unprompted caller, and my anxious wife is from a family of untreated, undiagnosed anxiety where an unprompted call means someone's being rushed to the hospital.

Anyway this feels like one of those derails that I'm not goon enough for.

if it stops them from playing the games i like i'm fine with that (they will still play them lol)

My favorite is when they talk each other into abandoning AAA games as a whole over "wokeness"... Just to have to contend with the fact that the average indie dev is even more openly queer and/or leftist.

Except that's a big part of what led to lots of targeted harassment last time so the schadenfreude isn't worth it.

I mean I guess in DD the physical shape of your avatar does affect how they perform in combat but I'm pretty sure you can make an eight foot tall beefbrick woman too if you want.

Did you miss the multi-year freakout because a woman was muscular in TLOU2? These fuckin' losers hate big, muscular women even more than they hate average women.

Fellas, is it gay to find real women attractive?

I'm not even kidding when I say I'm reaching a point where I think people that find real women attractive is angering and threatening to these dipshits. Like, you're allowed to be attracted to anime teenagers and like one or two actresses (both white) or else you're woke. Just absolutely consumed by the internet to the point that they think liking boobs is a political statement.

tbh I'm not convinced they play games. My impression is that they just watch reaction streamers and get mad about how hard it is to be a gamer.

She made lovely games and made lots of grandiose statements while GamerGate was happening and became one of its primary targets because of it. (No, I'm not saying it's her fault. Her games were lovely, but that obviously doesn't merit getting harassed out of your home.)
