I also don’t get the Hitler youth thing

One of the jokes about Street Fighter V has is all the blonde characters in the game. Some people will mock it by calling it Blonde Fighter V.

[Tasty]

The logic is probably: a trans woman having masculine features implies that trans women cannot be distinguished from cis ones, which can be a form of transphobia depending on the context and viewpoints of those involved.

It doesn't make sense because the game has other female characters are just as muscular if not more so.  Cammy looks more ripped than Poison does. 

Pretty much sums it up:

Considering I often talk about my anxieties with current political events during my sessions, it's comforting to know that my therapist isn't the kind of person who goes home to rant about "college intellectuals" trying to turn this country into Venezuela on Facebook.

Shame the fuckers, dehumanize them for being shitlords

I would argue that the vast majority of right wing individuals lack the empathy to properly administer mental health care.

“let’s help you become more productive at work, little bee. yes, open up to me about your anguish. after all, your pain is my financial gain.”

I have reservations about therapy.

Unless you work in politics or it relates in some other way, talking to your therapist about national politics is some pretty privileged totally American shit. "Anxieties about current political events" might as well be anxieties about your favorite sports team.

poison's face looks worse than sfiv but she looks fun. maybe enough to bring back into sfv. that is if i don't kill myself before she's released.

Defeatist is the laziest and most selfish position and is also the Boomer and Internet Edgelord memefeces position because it requires no effort of intellect, activity or finance and carries the least risk.

Ironically I understand the loser edgelords and Libertopian Rand teenagers more easily because they don't have any perceived skin in the game. The same Boomers saying either "we can't fix it now" or "it's fake news" are the ones most likely to post Facebook pictures of their grandchildren and frankly did the most voting to get us here in the first place.

The Koch brothers have off armed guards and off the grid ranches with solar and deep wells and buy beachfront properties at least thirty feet up the cliff so we know how they're thinking about it even if we're charitable enough to think they care about their spoiled grandchildren.


I'm not saying all Boomers behave or have behaved that way but the demographics and optics are pretty clear. They're retired, they had a good run (or didn't because of welfare Queens and the gays) so screw you young people they're outta here!

from what i've seen of the preview vid poison's second VT looks more optimal because it turns her toolset into allowing her to zone. I was surprised by her moveset in general because she was a zoner - one of if not the best zoner? - in sfiv. I'm really liking her moveset changes. Giving her a whip so she's less sexualized than SFIV's  BDSM switch is a great start but you won't see Platy talk about that.

It's hard to be positive when you could reduce the US to zero emissions and it would only slow it down due to other nations.

But let's be real. When it comes to the point that we HAVE to reduce global CO2 emissions, the US will just reduce everyone else to zero by bombs or computer attacks.

All our biggest cities/productive service areas are in the coast. New Orleans is literally going to sink. Manhattan will turn into Venice, probably.

uh, those things are already the case

New Orleans is already below the sea level and has been sinking since it was built

Venice was built on islands and connected, it didn't fall into the sea

Saving people from climate change with UBI is a joke, but chances are humans are too greedy to stop climate change. The only way I can see this changing is if there is some miracle fuel invented that makes oil's energy return on investment look tiny or something drastic and dangerous is done. One of these drastic and dangerous things could be a major country saying fuck it and spraying a bunch of aerosols into the atmosphere in an attempt to simulate a volcanic eruption to cool global temperatures.

Yes, notice how he mentions white people but include himself as "Our"

The way the tweet is framed as something only effecting white people is a dog whistle. The last sentence comes off as covering his ass, but not really.

It's a video game. Not real life.

Not real.

Imagine using this line against games being criticized for blatant sexism, racism or any other bigotry.

What a lazy obnoxious retort devaluing the medium that touches the lives and discrediting the influence and effect they impose and have respectively on myriad people around the world.

As I said before, regardless of where people come down on white phosphorus in a game that has had a history of normalizing other horrible means and methods and killing, where there is seldom any line between depiction and endorsement, using the aforementioned line is utter banal and implication-wise untrue bullshit.

Nothing reminds me more that ERA is still mostly (cishet) men than threads like this one.

You’ll never be able to have an honest discussion about the shit they’re pulling with the new MW, because most people will always be like „but what about nukes?? What about guns lol should you just get rid of all military shooters??“ Honestly? Yes, why the fuck not? You wouldn’t lose anything of value by doing so.

Depicting war without doing something like Spec Ops: The Line did was always shitty, even before nukes got added or now white phosphorus. The fact that people are so desensitized to this shit shows how much we’re in need of something like Valiant Heart or Spec Ops again. Military fetishism & glorifying war are a horrible hill to die on, which is just made far worse by them also wanting to be „a realistic war depiction“ & „controversial“ with MW2’s No Russian & fucking American Sniper of all movies being the inspiration this time around.

„B-but you kill people/monsters in other games!!1!“ There’s a difference between something being over the top & fantasy like DOOM and something trying to be fucking realistic just for the sake of being controversial.

As someone who lost way too much family & family friends in the Bosnian war & knows what experiencing war does to people, it’s honestly depressing as fuck that most people don’t see anything inherently wrong with military shooters who aren’t even in the slightest trying to be anti-war.

Like I said, when COD takes a weapon like WP and uses it lighlty they legitimise it furthur in the eyes of people not familiar with it.

When they hear about it on the news and how certain countries usit WPthey will remember COD and how it is just a gass bomb. They wouldn't know what kind of gass bomb it is and how brutally it kills people because in COD the player dies and nothing can be seen. Just like any of the past gass bombs in the past games.

They are contributing to the legitimacy of the weapon when the scenario I just described happens. If they instead showed the aftermath and how horrible the affects is then people will start questioning what their government is doing instead of going "eh whatever" when WP is being used.

You are greatly overestimating the influence COD has on someone’s political views. This is like 90s parents and violent video games all over again

I experienced the affects COD has on people myself. Infact I made a thread about it on hesr a while back. You can dismiss as much as you want but COD does influence the person's thinking. It is a well known propaganda piece that army uses to get recruits.

[benjipwns]

This isn't surprising at all given gaming eras track record. See the amount of the GTA thread that's about defending companies that engage in predatory tactics on top of their horrific tax evasion.

The normalisation of crunch and acting like it's a universal thing that must happen is the dumbest most anti-labour position I've ever heard.

[benjipwns]

The point is that crunch is not healthy and should not be normalized. Then again Era is a forum where people will literally brag about not using sick days or PTO so my expectations of this discussion here were already pretty bare minimum

sounds like some inflammatory generalizations about the community to me

I am curious about what they want for the whole crime and self-defence aspect.
They don't like cops which leans anarchic/libertarian, but they also don't like carry for self-defence which tends to push power back to cops or some entity that enforces the state.

[blame space]

maybe guns and the imminent threat of death shouldn't be the implied power of the state 

[OnlyRegret]

In that case, I'd be reading a bit too much into the discourse then, all they really want then is bodycams and accountability like other countries manage

Modern society’s a disgrace for providing what people need. Friendship and companionship are major parts of being a human, having followers on social media is not.

Yeah count me in with no friends/aquaintences. Haven't had any friends since 2015 and recently gave up socializing at work. I go through weeks to months without conversing with anyone. Never made an internet friend either. I been thinking about getting a dog just to keep myself from going crazy.

How fortunate, you don't have to deal with bigoted and republican friends !

friends been overrated

You don't say !

Alot of us millenials dont go out to socialize anymore because a night out is going to cost $100+ that could be spent on something smarter.

I’m lucky that I have a ton of friends both in real life and online, but it isn’t hard to see why 22% of millennials don’t have friends.

Between working 2+ jobs, perhaps raising children, passive use of social media, and a general lack of economic stability and poor emotional/mental health due to a number of factors, people are crumbling under it all. Some things have to give and it tends to be friendships the thing that takes the hit first.

Working more + isolation + lowered self-esteem + depression really makes it hard to reach out to others or try to make friends.

If I had one shot at time travel I'd go back and kill the man who invented generational labels.

If a child under 18 is deemed to be not mature enough to understand sex and can therefore not legally consent to intercourse, then how can a child under 18 (or 3 as per Mario Lopez's comments) also be determined to be mature enough to understand the consequences of gender transition and be given hormone treatments and stuff?
