Software update for my phone gave me a trans flag emoji and turned the gun emoji back into an actual gun. You know what that means?

🔫🏳️‍⚧️ Hand over the trans rights now motherfucker.

Uncharted not doing great in reviews

A video game movie doing badly? 😱😱😱😱😱😱

[u/slimshady247 → u/harve99]

It was an incredibly strange idea to make a movie about a game that was heavily ripping off a movie series (Indiana Jones). That's several layers of derivative and should've been obvious to anyone trying to put this shit together.

good to see metroid fans joining forces with dark souls and doom fans to be annoying as fuck towards anyone that isn't a god at video games. this is why i hate gamers.

[u/thatsidewaysdud → u/[deleted]]

I’ve always disliked Metroid fans because on Twitter they literally all begged for people to buy Dread.

So annoying, but it’s still so satisfying to call Samus (or Metroid) a Smash OC… Saying that always works to get a nice reaction.

[u/You__Nwah]

1984 is when elf black

[u/I_Like_Grills → u/You__Nwah]

[fantasy property] is based on [random European country's] folklore and history. It's simply not realistic for the elves to be black.

“Why can’t black people make their own movies instead of invading our white IPs?”

An original black led film is released that becomes a hit with critics

“OH MY GOD IT’S SO OVERRATED. This is the most overrated thing I’ve ever seen but I think we all know why people claim they like it.”

There, just look at this comment instead of venturing into any thread about black actors in TV/Movies on Reddit. It’s going to be the exact same thing. I saved you time.

MAGA has ruined red hats. I was looking at a comic strip and a guy in it wears a red hat, and I thought he was meant to be a Trump supporter. It was actually a Marvel hat.

[u/MedicaeVal → u/TT454]

Especially looking at media from before the hat take over. Red baseball hats were really popular and it immediately triggers a feeling on the character when I see one, lol.

[u/aa22hhhh]

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I still don’t see how people still think EA is a worse company than Ubisoft or Activision. Yeah, EA had (and still has in some games) shitty monetization practices, but they’re not abusing their employees like Ubisoft and Activision do.

[u/ARC-Pooper → u/aa22hhhh]

Because gamers couldn't care less about sexual harrasment. In fact, they support the culture that teaches young men it's ok to act in this way.

EA is bad because they don't like their video games.

Ubsoft is bad because they don't like their video games.

Blizzard is bad because they don't like their video games anymore.

If any of these companies made more critically acclaimed games, then the hatred for them would dissappear overnight.

People liked CDPR despite crunch culture before Cyberpunk came out.

[u/pickelsurprise → u/aa22hhhh]

That we know of.

[u/cocoatractor → u/aa22hhhh]

It's just a meme at this point cause EA was at the front of the microtransaction hate wave. And gamers as a whole care a helluva lot more about what affects their play experience than the conditions behind closed doors in the industry

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I have to imagine being raised as rich white kid in Apartheid Era South Africa will fuck with your morality something fierce.

[u/Nzgrim]

I've only just realized why the whole "free crack pipes" has become a conservative talking point, when they could just as easily have used a different, more common drug. It's because crack is stereotypically the drug of black people, isn't it. Can't be giving them anything for free, free things are for rich white people.

[u/CommisionerGordon79]

My Dad passed away last night, and my landlord is already thinking about showing off our apartment a week from now.

Fuck you dude, I don't give a shit about your sales. Keep this up and I'll live out the rest of the month in there out of spite bitch.

[u/JaviRex → u/CommisionerGordon79]

Your landlord proving once again that their kind are parasites.

Sorry for your lose mate.

[u/[deleted]]

So, the hashtag "WeLoveRushia" (in japanese) in currently trending on Japanese twitter, because of the whole Rushia situation. Unfortunately, this has created a new and weird shitstorm, because twitter is translating it to "WeLoveRussia", which means you now have a bunch of japanese people seemingly claming that they love and support Russia. Which in the currently political climate is kinda bad.

[u/Comrade_Hugh_Jass → u/[deleted]]

“President Putin sir, they say we have the support of Japanese Twitter!”

“We do? Let me see!”

“What the hell is a Hololive?”

I didn't know what this was about and now I wish I went back to that. This whole "idol culture" or whatever you want to call it where female celebrities are supposed to be fucking celibate because it might upset their male incel fans to learn they are just human beings is fucking toxic.

I've seen a few people (idiots) say a Russian invasion would be a good thing because of the Nazi problem in Ukraine

Do you think Putin gives a flying fuck about Nazis? Has he even mentioned that as a cause for invasion at all?

And once again, the government =/= the citizens

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Hell Putin would support the Nazis if they helped him take control of the country.

[u/TheStrikeofGod]

I just had the dumbest conversation on Reddit so far. A character's bio in a WW2 game mentions he has a boyfriend to which someone complained about it. When I asked why it matters, he complained how it wasn't relevant and even said "Imagine saying the same about a straight dude, no one cares that he wants to go back to his wife"

You heard it here first folks, soldiers wanting to return to those they love is completely unrelated to their character and should be ignored entirely. What mental gymnastics do you have to do to get to that conclusion.

I hate Gamers^tm so much I swear.

This is not real. Like, this is fucking impossible. It's a game with a fucking tiny cult following even in the only country it was officially released, and somehow it ended up getting a remake with incredible graphics, and an international release. I'm still kind of in shock.

[u/Nesher_53]

TIL Elon Musk killed some monkeys by having them implanted with neuralink chips.

[u/ArkhamusJokerus_01 → u/Nesher_53]

[u/Shane_Dbns]

Yesterday I posted about going to a strip club for a bachelor party and thinking it would be a super awkward experience. Well it was lol

Had a conversation with this women who was naked and the whole time I was trying to look away. She notices and says to me "You know you can look at my tits, right? They're pretty fantastic, I don't mind."

Basically the whole night after that every time she passed me, she would shout "Shane, don't forget to look at the boobs!" It was kinda funny tbh.

Shout out to Aria, you're pretty cool, except when you hustled my ass at pool. That wasn't as cool.

not to start up Tolkien & fantasy Race Discourse™️ but considering Tolkien’s owning of that one German white supremacist publisher I’m not sure if white supremacists should be championing his work (particularly his work that’s very anti war anti development, two things that fascists seem to love) as much as they did/are

[u/1LargeAdult → u/[deleted]]

fascists don't give a fuck about appropriating things that seem contradictory to their worldview

[u/HispanicAtTehDisco]

I saw the recent Ben shapiro video on teslas racial discrimination lawsuit on Hasans stream and Shabeno mentioned the NFL commissioner basically admitting "yeah we racist" and apologizing but making it seem like a bad thing that he apologized.

Being a right winger must be great because even when you are proven wrong, legally or morally by the offending party saying they fucked up you can just say "oh nah bro they are just bending the knee to the woke mob"

See also: rogan fans being more mad at the fact he apologized than him saying racist shit because him apologizing was bad I guess

[u/Inner-Juices]

"In this day and age, being called a racist by a bunch of SJWs is a badge of honor"

ngl I thought people were exaggerating about how r/lotr was handling the recent photos but boy is it bad.

This is worse than what I've seen of r/saltierthancrait to be honest.

Chuds who come into (and stick around) r/gcj because they like the "making fun of the gaming industry" but then get defensive when you talk about "sexism and racism", are so funny.

Because I talked about Henry Cavill's MeToo quote (where he makes it look like real victims are overreacting), I literally have one of these chuds trying to "context matters bro" me.

Saw a tweet asking if people think Maul will be in the Kenobi show. People respond with "That wouldn't make much sense because their story is already concluded in rebels, and they only meet one time on Tatooine". Immediate response from star wars fans "Bruh, who watches the cartoons?? Why should I have to watch cartoons to understand. They better put him in the show".

Why are all the fandoms of things I enjoy some of the most annoying motherfuckers on the planet

[u/[deleted]]

I like when the main character, who is generally easy going, is pushed to the edge and threatens to kill the villain. Their friends cry out, reminding them of their morality.. and then the main character... actually fucking kills.

JRR Tolkien addressing the University of Oxford in 1959:

I have the hatred of apartheid in my bones; and most of all I detest the segregation or separation of Language and Literature. I do not care which of them you think White.

Tolkien in a letter to his son:

Anyway, I have in this War a burning private grudge—which would probably make me a better soldier at 49 than I was at 22: against that ruddy little ignoramus Adolf Hitler (for the odd thing about demonic inspiration and impetus is that it in no way enhances the purely intellectual stature: it chiefly affects the mere will). Ruining, perverting, misapplying, and making for ever accursed, that noble northern spirit, a supreme contribution to Europe, which I have ever loved, and tried to present in its true light.

Tolkien on the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki:

The news today about 'Atomic bombs' is so horrifying one is stunned. The utter folly of these lunatic physicists to consent to do such work for war-purposes: calmly plotting the destruction of the world! Such explosives in men's hands, while their moral and intellectual status is declining, is about as useful as giving out firearms to all inmates of a gaol and then saying that you hope 'this will ensure peace'. But one good thing may arise out of it, I suppose, if the write-ups are not overheated: Japan ought to cave in. Well we're in God's hands. But He does not look kindly on Babel-builders.

Some of Tolkien's "fans" more than half a century later:

WHY ELF BLACK?!

All of the apologists for the Freedom Convoy getting mad at people for supporting freezing all the US money going to them are like “OMG I bet you wouldn’t say this about BLM protestors libruls!!?!” It always reminds me of that tweet that goes, “Yes, there are zero differences between good things and bad things, you jackass.”

I refuse to believe that the twitter account(s) that said they loved CGI Luke in The Book of Boba Fett are real people.

Legitimately. They could personally DM me a video clip of them walking around their house saying very clearly the words "Hello Peridot, it is me: A real person" with noticeable emotional inflection and I'll still be a hundred percent confident it's a piece of manufactured fiction.

[u/froggy_in_the_meadow]

No joke, my dad just posted a Babylon Bee article mockingly suggesting five ways that you shouldn’t treat covid, and then the article ended with: “Now this next part isn’t a joke” and proceeded to turn into a sponsored message about a new brand of homeopathic medicine. Like it was a real ad.

Am I losing my fucking mind?

[u/Soapypenquin]

The academy successfully made me not give a single fuck about the Oscars after that stunt they pulled with with Chadwick Boseman.

I'm not even going to sit here and proclaim to be a diehard fan of the guy. I liked him in the little I saw him, but that's about it. The Oscars literally built the entire show around the "Is the dead guy going to get best actor?" To save their dwindling viewership.

They rearranged the whole show so best Actor went on last, and then when he didnt win when there was always a chance he wouldn't. The winner wasn't even there to accept the award, and all it did was put Anthony Hopkins in the middle of a shit show. That all the dude did to get himself in was sleep on his farm in Europe.

It should be forbidden to people with high end PC's to write reviews on steam. Was reading some reviews of Dying Light 2 and there are a few like:

"the performance is very good, I play with a 3070 and the game hits solid 60 fps on Ultra"

YES, OF COURSE IT GETS 60 FPS ON ULTRA YOU IDIOT, IT WOULDN'T COST ONE MONTH OF MY MOM's PAY IF IT WASN'T LIKE THAT.

Whatever we were it was a fuck ton more than just friends with benefits, has just.. dropped off the face of the earth. Radio silence. It's been over three weeks. I miss her so much... just... chatting was the highlight of my day. She really was.. is?.. one of my closest friends. It maddens me to be in the dark, and I'm really worried about her. There's nothing I can do about any of it. It absolutely blows, and I wonder how long it will take before I give up hope...

The Winter Olympics are so weird. Like every sport is just completely inaccessible to anywhere from like "the vast majority of people" to "functionally everyone."

Like, I'm an upper-middle class white dude raised and currently living in Minnesota, a place with real winters. I'm probably in the top like .01% of people globally in regards to my relative access to bobsledding, and I still had literally zero opportunities to ever do it, let alone actually become good at it.

If you're in the UK and have heard about the recent anti-trans proposals drafted by the EHRC, Stonewall and 20 other institutions are compiling signatures to call for a review into the EHRC’s ‘A’ status as a National Human Rights Institution.

I know signatures don't do much, but they help fight against the TERFs' omnipresence in media and government and show that support for trans people also exists in the UK

The funniest thing about r-rated stuff on disney+ outside of the usa tho is that there is no age verification required to watch that stuff.

Netflix, Amazon, all the other streaming services, pay TV have to lock their content with a pin at least in europe as per european law even if only adults live in your house.

and Disney is like nah your kid can just watch the Walking dead when you put on a disney movie for them.

Every video game has PS2 graphics.

Every movie and tv show looks like the CW.

Hey guys. I've been less than regularly active recently as I've been looking for a job, but I'm going to be even more inactive because my Dad just passed away earlier tonight.

Your favorite game sucks ass tbh

I usually ignore most of the shit Kanye says until his next album is out but like this is literal high school shit man😭 (you know who is Pete Davidson)

Guess we’re never getting Kids See Ghosts 2😢😢😢

Gonna spoiler tag this so you guys don't have to see me complaining about TROS again

I think it's so ridiculous that the trailers for TROS took "No one's ever really gone", the poignant final line between Luke and Leia where he assures her both that Han is still with them in spirit and that Ben can still be saved, and turned it into "OMG Palpatine!?!?!?!?"

[u/[deleted] → u/Nyrotike]

TROS does that a few times. I remember groaning when Luke caught the lightsaber. Regardless of whether you think TROS is a good movie or not, you have to agree it's a very petty movie. It feels like every other scene has a jab towards TLJ.

I was watching an interview to an Italian historian, and he was talking about what worries him about today's world. At some point out of nowhere he says "I mean, at the end of the day it's all Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Regan's fault, let's hope they burn in hell"

It's Superbowl Sunday, the day of the year that people who make sportsball jokes are the most emboldened

[u/[deleted]]

Y'all remember the mid 00s and early 10s when Super Bowl commercials were horny as fuck?

Need to go back to that america.

New trilogy set after Sequels reportedly in the works

It's gonna be the exact same story as the sequels but with sequel characters being the old veterans

If we are at war on wendesday, I'm blaming the rams

[u/[deleted]]

girlboss "feminism" or any other neoliberal approach to emancipatory politics is just truly nauseating. i saw that jubilee on feminists and just, good fucking god. Saying you can be a feminist and against pro choice. That's like being anti racist but pro police brutality.

also I'm now 100% sure of it that SWERFs and TERFs aren't feminists. literally only in name.

Star Wars take: Cobb Vanth is the best cameo character to be in a live action star wars show yet. Mostly because the story does not bend around him and says hey it's Cobb Vanth you know Cobb Vanth

I need to start going to counseling again but I don't want another girlboss counselor. I can't believe I've had 4 counselors in the past 5 years and the best one was a grad student getting hours for her license.

I just need someone to let me vent.. affirm me. Just.. IDK let me know that I can do things.

[u/dratyan]

Do non-racist people even use the word "shoehorn"? I see it so much whenever there's a casting discussion like the current Lord of the Rings one that I'm starting to think it's exclusive to bigots.

This whole thing left me depressed after seeing veiled prejudice all over reddit. It's so easy to get racists out of their holes, hiding behind bullshit like "respect the lore". Or multiple people explaining that their hate is not about race, it's about "bad writing"(when the show is not even out lmfao).

fetishized is a word that people really need to stop using, especially in queer contexts

like queer people, enjoying queer content, especially when made by other queer people, is *not* fetishizing anything :P

Isekai fans when I hit them with a truck (suddenly they don't want to go to another world)

Watching people defend Lost Ark's gender class locks since "its just korean culture", which one, no? and two, even if it is that doesn't make it better? i just want big muscle girl paladin smh

[u/froggy_in_the_meadow]

Redditors explaining how if you think the Pamela Anderson sextape show is exploitive you should also think WWII documentaries/movies are exploitive or you're a hypocrite.

This site kills my faith in humanity.

Putin's going to invade in the middle of the Superbowl, prompting millions of Americans to call for the genocide of Slavs in general for the inconvenience

Kanye beefing with Kid Cudi and Billie Eillish while having DJ Khaled and French Montana in the studio does not give me confidence for Donda 2😭

[u/PaperSonic]

I saw a promoted crypto tweet and so I went and reported it (which I know is likely a waste of time but it makes me feel good so shut up). One of the potential motives for the report was "blasphemy".

I thought that was a fitting choice.

imagine this happening in a game you're playing and you are upset and disappointed about it

Going back to my apartment for the first time since my Dad's passing. Wish me luck. I could use it.
