Sargon is kind of poopy.

He just isn't nice at all.

[Cutie Gwen]

Wait, haven't there been instances of straight people being gay in reboots or whatever in some media? (or am I just crazy)

If there are, then what's wrong with doing the reverse?

1: Alternative universes and different continuities are a thing which justifies the new versions having major differences like that
2: The MCU hasn't had an LGBT character yet iirc, so erasing LGBT stuff from an LGBT character who'd be the first to appear in the MCU's a bad idea. MCU's already gotten flak for not really knowing how to treat Asian characters. Daredevil had a major criticism of this too

Well I'm a liberal so I don't think that's would be a good word lol.

Black Panther and the Crew #3 is the apparently racist comic.

This a a rather large topic I can go in depth about for a long time, but I feel like it won't get me anywhere and I won't change anyone's minds, so I won't bother.

Just watch the video I posted earlier if you haven't and this video too I guess. If I don't change anyones minds then that's fine.

That guy laughs at Anita Sarkezian getting death threats and calling it harassment "haha feminists are so funny with their hyperbole" yet when she called him a garbage human he pretty much went "I'M NOT CRYING AT ALL ATTACK THIS VILE HARASSER"

I know WW was banned in some Middle Eastern countries for that reason (and hated on by some whacko sites in the west) but I wasn't aware about China.

You sure they had a problem?

I don't remember entirely. Plus it's 1AM. I very well could be wrong tbh
EDIT: I was wrong yes

With all due respect I don't want to give Sargon views or ad revenue. :/

To be fair it's a reupload on some random persons channel so you wouldn't give him any revenue.

Oh hey, this discussion. Fascinating topic.

But you know what else is fascinating?

If you listen closely.

On another subject, I just bought Prey very recently (Like it finished the download about 5 mins ago) and I've just been ****ing around in this dude's apartment checking out all the little easter eggs

10/10 Best way too invested in this guy's life simulator 2017

 

[Moydow]

Now for some heroes talk. Do we have any statement on why masked Marth has no skills?

It kind of sucks if you had to work for the 5 star and they get nothing. I guess its good for some f2p players though, but it be hard for them to get duplicates to sacrifice to build this character, especially if you go with the skill set for the character "Marth" really is, then its some hard to get skills.

They haven't said anything, but the most likely explanation to me would be that they don't want to just hand out a 5* unit without there being some sort of catch (as if grinding out 30,000 points in the Tempest Trials wasn't enough). Besides, outside of Luna, Lucina's default skills were nothing exciting anyway, either for her own use or for inheritance (Defiant Speed on a unit that already doubles nigh everything in the game is overkill, and Spur Attack is available on plenty of other units if you need it).

In any case, "Marth" is still an excellent unit. A free 5* of one of the best units in the game is nothing to sniff at, if you didn't already get Lucina, or got her with a bad asset/flaw. A good build for her would be to give her Reciprocal Aid, so she can act as a healer, and Fury so she can better pull her weight in battle. Both play off of Falchion's built-in Renewal, so they work really well. And Luna works better over Aether in my opinion, since Aether's cooldown is way too high (Moonbow is okay too). My Lucina was built like this, and she was easily the one reason I was able to grind out Quickened Pulse within the two weeks the Tempest Trials were up.

I don't think you understood what I meant at all.

I understand the criticism but maybe the guy is genuinely not homophobic.

The likelihood of someone being homophobic is directly proportional to how much they try to deny them being homophobic.
If someone has to constantly say "I'm not homophobic but..." then that's a red sign

I think he was more so making fun of the fact that she acted like getting death threats was a woman's issue when it's a thing that happens to both genders (including himself).

Now he's making fun of her for saying that being called "liar" or "you suck" is harassment, and her saying it's something we need to stop, and then going on to call another person "a garbage human." It goes against what she's trying to stop.

I didn't see him telling people to harass her. And him talking about how he was abused by her is just him trolling. He does a lot of trolling.

I understand the criticism but maybe the guy is genuinely not homophobic.

Everyone is homophobic, even homosexuals. Our society raises us to be bigots and it takes a lot to unlearn. No, this does not mean everyone is ready to kill a minority on sight, or outright hates them with all their heart, but rather through all sorts of subtle day-to-day things that is hard to notice when untrained.

That just seems a bit too pessimistic.

It DOES primarily happen to women though. Hell, there's been a study I heard about a while back "Do women enjoy being sexually harassed? Men say yes!" There's also that clip of college students chanting "No means yes, yes means anal" and ****. Not EXCLUSIVELY a woman's issue, but primarily one. Even then, getting death threats solely for an opinion isn't exactly a joking matter tbh. Please sargon IS objectively a garbage human. He tried to bait people by claiming anti fascits are using ISIS' flag when the flag was used by people fighting AGAINST ISIS. When called out he went "Nah, nah, I wasn't misleading anyone, this was a social experiment" or some **** too. And again, he praised a nazi's political beliefs

"Do women enjoy being sexually harassed? Men say yes!"

Woah!

I know what you're talking about.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

The article cites a study that only touched upon men from Middle Eastern countries (and only four of them).

Carry on for the rest though.

People are an anomaly. Both sides of the coin at once.

Our optimistic side only wants to see the good, our pessimistic side only dares to see the bad. The truth is somewhere in between.

I like the theories but I'm not too into the MCU to argue against or for them so I thought of sharing it here to see what you all think of

I mean, I'm pretty sure there are some people out there who weren't raised under such preconceptions but I can see your point.
I can certainly attest to it

It's not pessimistic. Someone isn't automatically a horrible person just because they express/hold bigoted thoughts. What matters is whether they make strides to better themselves and their community. No one is perfect, and that's alright.

I'm trans, I have transphobic thoughts, but I try to unlearn them. Meanwhile Blair White, who is also trans, makes an attempt to reinforce her transphobic views. It's not about whether one holds such views, it's what's done with them.

For the longest time I believed the Soul Stone would either be in Heimdall's eyes or Mjolnir. The former because Heimdall's eyes can see into souls, as said early on IIRC, and they glow orange. The latter because it might read the wielder's soul to see if they're worthy. However, since Mjolnir was destroyed in the Ragnarok trailer, I doubt it's in the hammer unless Editing Magic (tm) took place.

Either way I'm sure we'll see it in Thor Ragnarok. Plus it would help the silly T.H.A.N.O.S. fan theory and that's hilarious.

But what if the hammer is being destroyed exactly for the purpose of extracting the Soul Stone?

 

[Opossum]

Hence my "editing magic" comment. Unless I was too tired to notice, we didn't see a flash of anything orange when Mjolnir broke, so that's why as of now I'm skeptical. I wouldn't be surprised if they did edit it out though to keep it more under wraps.

That or we have differences on what bigoted means exactly.

I suppose this can be a relative thing.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Here is an interesting article

Just as Marvel has to worry about how Spider-Man or Captain America is portrayed in the game, so too will Capcom be protective about its own stable of characters like Street Fighter's Ryu or Mega Man.

I laughed at this line given how terrible Chun Li looks.

So, after listening to the Sonic Advance 3 soundtrack a few days ago, I decided to actually go back to the game. Despite having owned this game for about 12-ish years, I never finished collecting all the Chaos or the Chaos Emeralds, so I went back to try to get them.

I got the first six emeralds but...

My Lucina was built like this, and she was easily the one reason I was able to grind out Quickened Pulse within the two weeks the Tempest Trials were up.

That does make sense, but they should have given one skill to her. The amount of time it takes to get to her in Tempest Trials is pretty long.

But yeah, I went off of other Lucina sets and am going to build this one off of that as I do not have regular lucina, so it's cool to get this unit for free. I have some healers so I went for a more attacker based unit.

I wonder though what future units could be given out in Tempest Trials and if they'd change stats or lock completely new heroes behind it like Grand Hero battles.
