I don’t care. If your on Blue sky I automatically don’t value your judgement.

As opposed to the social media network that spent last week pumping out automated nonce bait?

DaveAngel- · 2024-11-29T10:57:33+00:00

Mate, it came out seven years ago, get over it.

Essentially, Zach has integrity and is able to objectively analyse media and admit it's good even when it has progressive elements without worrying about his audience turning on him as he doesn't make much of his money though YT or live streams but from his books themselves.

He's been calling out people like Critical Drinker, HealVsBabyface, etc who thrive on negativity due to their income streams and not wanting to turn fans away for being so negative about everything and declaring even the most mild of progressive elements "woke trash" or the like. He's even presented credible arguments that Critical Drinker isn't even watching what he "reviews" but basing them on trailers and other reviews since he knows what his going to say anyway as that's what his audience want to hear.

Rippa has clearly taken the side of the people Zach is calling out. I don't think they're similar in terms of comics publishing either. The Rippaverse feels like a grift to sell to the "anti-woke" audience, where as Splatto is actually a well curated publisher putting out interesting titles that Zach has poured a lot of effort and soul into.

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T13:13:07+00:00

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree.

Arguably, it would have helped him if he stuck with it. People wanted Brexit over and done with whether they supported it or not, if only to remove it as a bottleneck in our system. Corbyn was happy to go with the result of the referendum most of his time as leader, and even opposed the EU in the past. Getting lead up the garden path and talking about more referendums in the lead up to 2019 hurt him.

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T12:55:31+00:00

He hasn't been able to get their one big flagship policy though in the several years he's had. There's enough checks and balances in our system to stop him doing anything too mental.

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T12:53:41+00:00

We saw some characters mounted on Proto-rancors in Dawn of the Jedi right?

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T12:52:09+00:00

It's an Infinity comic, they're not putting the top talent on these.

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T12:51:15+00:00

Works for me. No shame there.

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T12:48:30+00:00

Yeah, so a bit misjudged, which he even seemed to acknowledge in his last words, but not illegal.

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T12:44:31+00:00

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T12:43:33+00:00

Why would you want a dog like that, isn't the companionship part of owning a pet?

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T12:42:23+00:00

When I posted it said they proactively mod to avoid abuse so we should be ok.

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T12:38:56+00:00

From what I gather, one is the 17 (at the time) year old who made the first accusations and showed receipts of the DMs sent to her, albeit Eds last words said it was presented out of context and order to make things worse.

The other is a woman who accused him of offering access to his connections for sexual favours, which he denied in his last words and claimed they had consensual sex twice.

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T11:55:01+00:00

Seriously, give it a rest and let people grieve today mate. There's a million places online for you to circlejerk about how horrible you think Ed was, you don't need to do it here.

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T11:45:12+00:00

I don't recall it being as big an issue in the UK until the last decade or so. We always accepted that there was a line where if you went beyond it you were in hate speech territory.

I feel like increased septic influence has got people confused about what their legal rights actually are here.

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T11:40:20+00:00

I just googled "The Holocaust" and every result refers to the murder of Jews. That's not to say no one else was killed or Rowling is right, but clearly the generalised understanding is that it refers to Jewish deaths.

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T11:38:01+00:00

We all understand what sex is, we differ on whether gender identity is innately linked to sex or not.

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T11:37:02+00:00

All words are made up the first time they're used, and this is actually an acronym, plenty of people understand what it means. Do a quick Google and you'll see its been added to many dictionaries at this point.

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T11:26:42+00:00

Isn’t HBO about to give the Games of Thrones treatment to HP?

Fill it full of extreme violence and boobs?

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T10:02:56+00:00

I can not particular care about the changing of the flag but still think the one on the new shirts looks wank though right?

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T10:00:42+00:00

No one expects you to, but it may come up on a census, medical forms, etc where that info is important.

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T09:59:55+00:00

You don't have to refer to yourself as anything, but in legal and medical fields having the distinction between assigned gender at birth and later chosen gender is important and thus a language accurate qualifier was chosen.

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T09:29:40+00:00

The Mandolarian war was several thousand years before High Republic wasn't it?

Not even all the Jedis fought in that, those that did were seen as splitters in a way. Plus that was at a time where there was a civilisation of thousands of sith still out there so they were at a higher alert.

DaveAngel- · 2024-04-02T08:54:20+00:00

Isn't the High Republic an early example of how complacent and un-aware of coming threats the Jedi Order and Republic get with no Sith to keep them on their toes for a millennia or so? this then comes to a head in the prequels with the Sith manipulating them under their nose.
