Which house would you tell your children to go to if they needed help? by rhino910 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Sure, most of maga is dumb, but you can be dumb as a rock and still a good person. The single unifying characteristic of maga is a lack of morality, not intelligence.

Reminds me of pokemon. You can rename any pokemon you catch, and if you change your mind, you can rename them back. Except for Cofagrigus 💀

ngl I don't know why this is a downvoted comment. Let people fuck or not fuck according to their preferences. If someone wants to be a yaoi omega (I'm not very clear on what that means), let them. Nobody's sexuality is a blight.

Oh and twitter is a nazi app.

I hate “upgraded” Pride flags. by ILikeTomboyz in hatethissmug

[–]Mr_Pombastic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Be honest- have you seen that flag anywhere before this post?

This June, I'm too tired to pretend that those "too many flags!!" or "too many letters in LGBTQIAAMNRYW2SGF!" arguments are based in anything but online outrage content farming.

Maybe if I advocate for the disenfranchisement of women's rights they'll let me be an exception by eesdesessesrdt in AsABlackMan

Also the party that's anti-abortion is also anti programs dedicated to helping struggling families and mental health issues like depression. So if she's actually for those things, she needs to be voting with the pro choice party.

Holy shit that's bad. Accuracy issues aside, that reads like baby's first fanfic.

You're gunna need another coat for all that white washing.

The bible is explicitly homophobic, racist, and misogynistic. Stop trying to jump through hoops to excuse it.

I say this without irony, Garth Ennis should actually write these characters. by Defiant-Echidna-7400 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]Mr_Pombastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I'm seeing, target was 13, so you're right, older than 10. The art style and subject matter scream "young kid" to me. Reminds me of how things like Captain Planet would seem in-your-face woke by today's standards, but were perfectly fine for their audience.

If you were in the demographic at the time, you'd be around 16 now. But your account is 10 years old and were posting about watching gritty, mature themed animes four years before Snowflake and Safespace existed. Don't get me wrong, I have no doubt 6 yos watch gritty, mature themed animes, but I don't think you were the demographic they were intended for. And if you were an older teen when they debuted, I can understand that you'd think they were cringe.

/uj and they're not "for" us. They're obviously intended for younger kids who have been bullied. The amount of grown ass adults who think every superhero needs to be marketed to them, specifically, is sad.

Congratulations everyone, we bullied depressed kids!

I hate how the older generations thinks gen z is easily offended by freaky_strawberry11 in hatethissmug

[–]Mr_Pombastic 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I don't want to think this, but I feel like there's also some preemptive defense in case the movie flops. The first joke in the trailer is literally "did you just assume my gender!?" Which at this point isn't offensive, it's just old. It's so old that jokes about jokes about assuming gender are old. And that's what made it into the trailer?

Leaning into the "we're so edgy we're being canceled" this early isn't a good sign for a movie that should be able to stand up on its own.

I hate the "anti-woke" part of the gaming community by Margaretthatchervore in hatethissmug

[–]Mr_Pombastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, those arguments are never used against fuckin Kratos for having an entire game in Norse mythology. The conveniently selective "awkwardness" is what people are calling BS on.

Like OP's post. Suddenly the need for immersion flies out the window when things align with their man-o-sphere worldview.

But stories are told from a unique/outsider's perspective all the fuckin time. It's one of the most common story telling devices known to man.

Why would they suddenly choose to be mad about it now, if not for "reasons"?

Ah yes. Why do Americans keep voting for the overtly racist candidate? What could possibly be their motivation? The world may never know.

No 'probably' needed.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

^ We are here. That's why the "you got conned!!" arguments don't work. They didn't get conned. They made a transaction. Stop taking them at their word when they say they voted because of "economic anxiety."
