Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

[Schnee117]

I get what you're saying, and it makes sense. However, you're kinda making a straw man argument. I doubt a sizable portion of the populace treat cis straight men like jews under Nazi germany or believe that they're objectively worse. On the other hand, there are a whole bunch of neo-nazis who not only believe that minorities are inferior, but shoot people for it (like the racially motivated New Zealand mass shooting) or harass them in a more impactful way.

It's why this "both sides!!!!" centrist bull**** is ****ing dumb.

What even is this chat right now?

this chat is always either gay or talking about the impact racism has on different races and why it's different per race there's no in between

 

[KingofKoopas]

Ya know?

It'd be kinda nice if we talked about Smash for once.

I don't think a thread like this is the right place to discuss politics...

Well not unless Sakurai was running for Prime Minister of Japan.. Ya think making smash bros was stressful..

 

[Lollipopped]

People talking about politics in here and I'm just sitting here feeling stupid, as always ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I found this video and I’m scared. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6tb1CjOIGLs

 

[Gentlepanda]

****, you know what I just realized. It's been 15 days during this month and Atlus still has yet to mention anything about Persona 5.

GIVE IT UP FOR DAY 15!

iirc it's being shown off at Sega FES 2019, which is March 30-31st

so yeah they're really pushing the definition of 'info in March'

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Ramen Tengoku Alright, I'm ready. This is what I look like, so you'll know me when you see me. (I just made an account, so excuse the stupid look)

What should we play first?

Its honestly not.

Though Smash has been giving me mixed feelings lately too so, man I don't know.

 

[Wademan94]

Oh this looks like a fun conversation to come back to...

It's like the Charlottesville riots that happened in VA a while ago
One side: "We are literal Nazis, we're going to run over a woman"
Other side: "Nazis suck, don't run over people"
Oh man both sides are at fault here guys

That may be true.(Though the population that identifies as neo-nazis is pretty small too, doesn't change that they're very vocal.) After all, the right wing mostly has direct power in the states right now. Yet despite that the left has much more power over the social climate, what you can and can't say.

It's why this "both sides!!!!" centrist bull**** is ****ing dumb.

Except it really isn't because you push harmful ideas that no one bats an eye over. Children transitioning for instance, no one bats an eye over that despite how harmful it can be. Yet plenty of people celebrate hbombersguy's charity stream without realizing that Mermaids is a unprofessional and harmful charity. Pretty much the peta of trans organizations.

I thought about this yesterday, and I’m thinking they might’ve forgotten or are waiting until very late March

iirc it's being shown off at Sega FES 2019, which is March 30-31st

so yeah they're really pushing the definition of 'info in March'

This is what I don't get.

You make an announcement of an announcement in January -- where honestly, might've been your best time to announce anything before the onslaught of Kingdom Hearts and Resident Evil comes out, alongside some other notable releases -- but then to wait until literally the end of this month, too?

Atlus had time to announce it in February at the least before DMCV comes out in March, too, so I just don't get what the deal is. I would like to hope that they'll announce some crazy stuff, but who's to say if Persona 5 IS coming to the Switch? We've been down this road with Cloud and FFVII for the Wii U/"remake on NX", so this only just raises more questions than anything.

 

[Deleted member]

That time is when youre using it to describe people who are Hassidic Jews lol..

While I know the term sounds weird applied to certain groups. Supremasists can come from any race and religious group, hence the comparison.

 

[Pakky]

I haven't seen Captain Marvel yet, but I assume it's because that movie takes place in the nineties, opening up the possibility for Monica to be a superhero in the present day.

Also, in the comics, Monica Rambeau had no connection to the first Captain Marvel, and took the name because (from a publishing perspective) they needed a character who used that name or the rights could return to DC. In-universe, the media called her that and she just stuck with it for a while.

True though in the comics she was the first female Captain Marvel regardless so to put her in a position to be talked down to is a little yucky to me personally having finding this out.

One side: "We are Nazis and we're locking children up in cages and seperating them from families"
Other side "Actually that's ****ing awful and violates human rights"

well imo the other side is being pretty awful by swearing so

Nothing is stopping you from saying anything you want to (within legal limits). The only way that the left "controls what you say" is how some people react to what you say.

"hey maybe white people shouldn't be saying the n-word it's kinda rude of them"
"STOP TRYING TO CONTROL WHAT I SAY SO MUCH FOR THE TOLERANT LEFT"

There was a problem fetching the tweet

This is kind of cool. Axiom Verge, after several delays and legal fights, is finally getting a promised physical release on the Wii U.

Besides the fact that it's a good game, this will be one of the very very last Wii U physical releases that's not Let's Dance 20XX and is it coming out mostly out of Limited Run's pocket. According to Twitter, the company only expects to make back a third of their lost revenue at best.

I've never played the game before, but I have a soft spot for the Wii U and Limited Run is a solid company. I'm definitely interested in throwing some money their way. I just hope I can get a copy before collectors buy them all up as this will be a hot ticket item.

Oh I forgot to mention Lauren Southern tried to murder African refugees on a boat. Well, I say 'forget' but I had to double check as I often confuse her for Laura Loomer. And pewdiepie follows her on twitter. But tell me more about how he's just an innocent child who's just a victim of those pesky coincidences

I dunno, one can be treated as a pariah for saying the "wrong" thing, or being somehow related to someone who said the "wrong" thing.

Remember the adage that there are ditches on both sides of the road. There are truly scummy people on the extreme ends of just about everything. I would not want to be under fascism any more than I'd want to be under communism. The mere idea that everyone on the opposing side is a monster is a fallacy.

And the way people react is kinda the problem. You say something they don't like, and people will demand you get fired/ expelled.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Yeah, and then it took some extra years for FF7 to release on a Nintendo platform, though something about Persona 5 doesn’t make me believe it’d take that long to be brought over

 

[Cutie Gwen]

You mean like how altright people got James Gunn fired because he said meanie words about Dump and falsely accused him of pedophilia?

Probably already blocked us though. Listening to opposing viewpoints is so troublesome like that.

Today on Smashboards Stupidity:
People complain about youtubers and their stupid political views and how they are in the right and everyone else is wrong and how they are victims rather then give condolences to the people in New Zealand. More at 11

pdp literally says racist bs, doesn't speak out against bigots, in fact supports them on twitter, and is the most popular youtuber of all time
but oh boy there's literally no way that racists could ever be inspired by him or anything he does nope no way no how

Yeah, we should move on at this point.

Yeah, like that. Company often cave to this kind of pressure and this tatic hurts everyone.

It's easier to do nothing and be apathetic than to actually do something.
