  • The original topic was about the radicalisation of men. One poster commented how it might feel that the democratic party doesn’t care about men’s issues. Another replied and tried to trivialize those issues. So some users advocate for empathy. And you reply with “but what about women?” Do women face issues? Absolutely. Arguably more than men, I don’t know. But that’s beside the point here. The topic was radicalisation of men, and a possible cause. I would argue, you’re acting like an ass right now.






  • I wouldn’t say that’s how jokes work. Some things need to be established first. The joke is not, that he is non binary. It’s a play with words, “agenda” in this case. Him being genderless is supposed to be the baseline. This is contradicted by him being a Warner brother. So the joke is already falling apart during the setup. If the joke was about him being a chicken, it wouldn’t have made sense either, because it was never established before. And can’t explained with cartoon logic.

    It feels like people are automatically mad at me for criticizing the joke, because the topic is gender politics. I never said he can’t be non binary, I don’t care, but there was never a basis for this. Or so I thought. As others have pointed out, there apparently was an episode or a comic where this was mentioned.

    The person being criticized happens to be a woman. Musk has been criticized for the same shit, back when he tried to sue the guy tracking his private jet on Twitter. Guess who’s trying to do the same thing right now?

    If she didn’t try sue someone for posting public information, nobody would have cared. Textbook Streisand effect. I believe, she deserves to be called out for that.

    There is no point in calling out Musk anymore. Everyone already knows he is a piece of shit.



  • I don’t think I ever cried playing a video game, but I can think of three moments that almost got me. Spoilers, obviously.

    1. Metal Gear Solid 3. Hearing how much The Boss had to sacrifice for a country that will forever hate her and remember her as a traitor.
    2. Fighting the Hollow Knight and at some point it starts stabbing itself. The music changes from this epic battle theme to a tragic lonely little violin. It can barely even stand, yet is still forced to keep attacking. At this point it changes from a battle to assisted suicide.
    3. Doki Doki Literature Club. Living with depression myself, I knew exactly how Sayori felt. I’m not even talking about THAT scene, but the day before.
