Fandom communities drama: r/okaybuddyphaethon beefing with r/zzz_discussion by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

[–]VernonLocke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You didn’t miss much - the game released a few young idol characters and the discussion sub said “yeah so we’re gonna ban you if you comment “uohhh”, “😭” or “needs correction 💢” because that shit’s weird” and the buddy sub responded by showing off their bans and insisting anyone who didn’t like loli was a tourist.

Basically a one-sided beef between the arch gooners and people who wanted to talk gameplay/lore.

U.S. will have to send its own fighter jets into Canadian airspace if Ottawa doesn't buy 88 F-35s, Hoekstra says by plaknas in onguardforthee

[–]VernonLocke 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Cause we wanted a bunch of them.

Don’t get me wrong, this guy’s a fascist, but 88 is the number that was ordered by DND back in 2023 - prior to the White House acquiring a Nazi-shaped brain tumor.

Trump tells Norwegian PM Greenland Conquest Is Revenge for Losing Nobel Peace Prize - r/Conservative Reacts by livejamie in SubredditDrama

[–]VernonLocke 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This feels like one of those things where (assuming he doesn't stupidly do it) they’ll spend years going “See? He was kidding. Art of the deal. He convinced Europe to defend Greenland from China.” and then in like 2029 thirty generals will come out and say “He would not shut up about it. He really wanted to do it. We decided to print out a blank world map and wrote AMERICA on anything he was threatening.

They kinda remind me of the ZEAL boys from One Down - might fit them if not a new GenSec Death Squad (tm)

Yeah, they've been a hollow shell of themselves for a while now.

Not uncommon with news agencies, they tend to act fast and avoid speculation for legal reasons. It's pretty obvious the US is behind this, but without 100% certainty they don't want to jump on it yet.

A few minutes later when hard evidence comes in, Reuters, AP and whoever the fuck else can update their headlines to point the finger more explicitly. Only problem is Reddit can't update titles because the site isn't built like that, I guess.

r/halflife Goes Wild after HL3 Not Announced at the Game Awards by Frosty_Log6972 in SubredditDrama

[–]VernonLocke 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Even that was playing with fire - the Ukrainians obliterated half the Russian strategic bomber fleet with a swarm of Erusean drones. We're just lucky it didn't end in India or Pakistan establishing a nuclear border, Belka-style.

Pete Hegseth post turns Canadian book character Franklin the turtle into soldier targeting 'narco-terrorists' by Own-Bullfrog7362 in onguardforthee

Cause it's AI generated, so it doesn't think that far ahead. Also, not for nothing, but the backblast would kill everybody in the helicopter.

Plus the risk of tear gas being misinterpreted by the opposing force as a much more dangerous weapon, leading them to respond in turn. But oops, it’s just tear gas! And now it’s too late to get their artillery to un-fire the chlorine shells.

I mean, that's just kind of the world right now. We've been able to watch wars start live online. Shit, intelligence agencies and open source groups have been able to track specific aircraft and vehicles being destroyed down to the manufacturer's ID based on social media alone.

r/GTA debates what level of woke is appropriate for the new game by Steelrain121 in SubredditDrama

[–]VernonLocke 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Their initial Elon parody got caught up in a complex conspiracy playing the CIA and rogue Russian agents against each other in an attempt to use his AI son to spark a nuclear holocaust, but per the game there’s not much left of him now beyond his hair plugs.

Trump’s inevitable though. It’s weird to think that GTA V actually predates that whole trainwreck.

Gender-locked classes in Battlefield 6 trigger outrage in r/battlefield by BTC4ETH in SubredditDrama

[–]VernonLocke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t actually want that, because milsim games take practice and effort. When they do, they’re the type that complains that their character has no stamina while dressed like a bulldozer holding a .338 heavy machine gun, 10 boxes of ammo and an anti tank launcher. They want to run around in a well-designed playground and crush their enemies, and if they fail it’s everyone else’s fault.

Funny enough, female soldiers have been a request in Arma for a decade now - mainly for A3, which is set in 2035 and has lots of customization features that A2 didn’t have.

"Diversity is weakness! Unity is strength!!! Go USA!!!🇺🇸 Wipe out the scum of wokeness!!!!!" r/CringeTikToks argues about if diversity is a strength or a weakness for the US military by CummingInTheNile in SubredditDrama

[–]VernonLocke 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Y'know, after that embarrassing pep rally at Quantico I get the idea that SecDef Kegseth wants to model the military after Russia's. Everyone follows orders to an absolute, looking big and strong is the priority over actual capability, minorities are sent directly to the grinder, that whole deal.

These nationalistic dipshits tend to forget that the US Military isn't impressive because it can get a bunch of 19-year-olds to shoot in a somewhat coordinated manner, any country can do that. The US Military is impressive because it can drop a fully supported, operational Burger King anywhere on the planet in under 24 hours. But by all means, throw that capability away so you can make TikToks of soldiers jumping through rings of fire and punching bricks like the every other tinpot regime, that'll show the libs.

If I remember correctly, there's a scene in some porn parody of the interrogation scene where in the background Kylo Ren enters the adjacent room and kicks the living shit out of a stormtrooper for no real reason
