Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 4: Shitizens on Pootroll

[JimmyBeerCans]

You must be glad you raised that topic ScooterBrother ahh well nevermind there will be other issues tomorrow ie. freedom rights for nut cutlets, abolishing the existence of the middle class white male better known as satan etc... sleep tight

 

[ScooterBrother]

Ah well, can't win em all. Its better than arguing with #TrumpXplainers in the Trump Presidency thread.

 

[Portia]

but I still think your outrage is over the top.

You don't know my life. Hardly anyone knows any of it, because I've seen how often trans people get doxxed online.

Disseminating a serious discourse or verbal essay which propagates those views is absolutely transphobic. I didnt do that. I shared blatantly obvious *comedy* that within that context is not meant to be taken literally.

`Funny' transphobia is still transphobia. You voluntarily deleted the video from your original post because of a word used in the title, a word universally used by people attempting to be funny. Why was that `funny' more abhorrent to you?

Saying that comedy can't be racist, sexist, misogynist, transphobic and more is like saying songs can't be, or cartoons can't be, or advertising can't be, or any media can't be. All media can be those things. That Joe Rogan piece absolutely, unequivocally is transphobic, and you're distributing his shitheaded views.

She is still technically a woman I believe, unless I am mistaken.

You didn't even read the article Rogan was talking about, you didn't read up on the schools policy, and you didn't even bother working out what pronouns to use until I brought it up. What the **** do you know about what the guy `technically' is or isn't?

I am not suggesting he should've been kicked out, I am suggesting he should be able to have that postion available to him as a student of that college.

Thats in pretty much the same category as `Tony Abbott: Minister for Women'. Possible, but thoroughly inadvisable.

And thanks Grave Danger, I really needed a timely reminder of how ****ing hopeless my life is. Cheers mate.

It doesnt matter if you're actually Tim himself. Your outrage is still over the top.

If you're inferring that you're a transgender person, then might I suggest instead of outrage, you provide wisdom.

Ehhh nah. If someone is purposefully making a joke for entertainment purposes then within that context anything goes IMO.

And a word in a title is not comedy or satire or entertainment, is it?

Of course it is.

But that doesnt make him, or me, transphobic.

You didn't even read the article Rogan was talking about, you didn't read up on the schools policy, and you didn't even bother working out what pronouns to use until I brought it up. What the **** do you know about what the guy `technically' is or isn't?

I read every word of the article. Then I read the policy when you posted it. I even said I liked it. Then I gave you the opportunity to correct me where I said "unless I am mistaken".

You're being ****ing ridiculous now. I was happy to have the discussion but if you're going to continue with this line of accusatory bullshit you can **** right off and brood and be offended all you like, but it wont be whilst conversing with me.

The Bad Thread

Currently watching Aliens on Masterpiece .

Really makes me want to play AVP2 again, such an awesome game. I wonder how it runs on modern PCs.

Might save that meme for the inevitable "The sky isn't falling, we just need to fine tune and few things and have the players work harder" posts from Janus following a 15 goal loss.

Work hardery n' longery

AC/DC and Star Wars. Thread just had a conniption.

If only Trump was somehow worked in there.

 

[edgie]

As fun as the Paxton/Pullman meme has always been, I can't take people seriously when they claim to genuinely confuse the two. Bill Pullman is certifiably dull in everything, Paxton was usually a colossal ham, which is anything but dull.

You wash your mouth out! There's nothing dull about this!

I caught an episode of Always Sunny on late night FTA 6ish years ago, and thought it was pretty meh.

I decided to give it another go since it keeps popping up in these threads.
Four seasons in now, and I'm loving it.

EnlargedFaulkner delivers again.

 

[edgie]

Every movie is better with AC/DC.

 

[StuMan]

Titanic would've been better with AC/DC.

I watched the first season and a bit the first time round and was just like meh, came back to it a year later and loved it

It excels when the in jokes are better fleshed out and its rewatchability is God tier

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Was I the only one that sorta liked Vinyl? 1 season and given the ass, I get it was cliche but get through the first few eps and it started to work.

Nice to know even Scorsese and Jagger can sink like the Titanic I guess.

I can imagine the rewatchability will be high. My go to rewatch has been Arrested Development for a long time. So it'll be good to switch it up.
The good thing about sleeping on this show for so long is that with eleven seasons, I've got something to watch for quite a while.

Although I have gone through 3 seasons in less than a week, so maybe not.

Yeah I got on it when there was about 9 seasons out

3-10 are comedy gold mines

I noticed it really got going in season 3. Good to know that it maintains (or exceeds) that for so many seasons.

You are obviously comparatively new here, Portia provided much wisdom on the issue.
This isn't a case of someone being 'offended' for the sake of it. She is trying to explain.

 

[Steve Dore]

What video?

Close enough.

Indeed.

This isn't a case of someone being 'offended' for the sake of it. She is trying to explain.

I beg to differ. But its probably time for the thread to move on.

What video?

I deleted it as it had a pretty offensive word in the title. It was "Joe Rogan on Transgender Student that Cant be a Diversity Officer" should you want a Google. It's pretty funny but also offensive.
