like I’m supposed to respect genuine human connection from someone who couldn’t face me in a fair fight
This is why all men date only wrestlers and MMA fighters, a practice I approve of in my quest to create the ultimate Brazilian Jiu Jitsu martial artist.
No one foresaw the emergence of the new genre of electronic music, which came to be known as cybercuck.
Actually, the reason that lusting after anime girls is degenerate is that the offspring would have a mix of 2D and 3D traits, and would not be well-adapted to either the 2D or 3D environments, putting them at a significant disadvantage.
The people who complain about things like a female doctor who or female Jedi or whatever almost always swear up and down that they don’t mind the idea of a woman in that role, but then say they have a problem with that particular instance because they think it’s “pandering” or “cheap” or “just for brownie points” or “politically correct”
So when exactly is it not going to be those things? If they say there’s a time and place they’d be fine with it, then when and where? Why does it never seem to come?
Also complaints that ‘pandering’ is somehow an epidemic of caving to pressure from various social justice activist movements are unfounded.
Pandering is 100% a marketing tactic. Rainbow French-fry cups sold during pride month is pandering, and is 100% because it exploits desperate gays. Female roles in films exist because women go to the cinema. Rewriting roles after-the-fact to be women or PoC or whatever is often done not for artistic reasons.
Let’s have more pandering, but never forget it is a marketing tactic. Pandering is not respect, it is not a substitute for human rights, it is not victory.
How do you extricate the pandering from the bad writing, and the discourse around the bad writing from the discourse around the pandering?
What if you’re offended by marketing tactics designed to profit off your good intentions while not in the least supporting them? What if the most marketable media examples of queering and testing boundaries are also the most implausible and ridiculous? E.g. a woman beating up a room full of men is weirdly sexy, but also simply does not happen. Ever. In the world. Go on worldstarhiphop. Find the Amazonian giantess that the microwaveable plastics tell you is surely out there. Prove me wrong.
No MMA ladies vs. gamers tho. There are institutionally supported exceptions to every rule.
Unlike all those millionaire playboys who fight crime without so much as a scratch
Or all those superpowered farmboys from another planet
Or, y’know, all the aliens in time-traveling police boxes
Wow!!! It’s almost like fiction is all about implausible scenarios. Who knew!
Implausible is qualitatively different from physically impossible.
This was addressed in the short film Too Many Cooks.
You can maybe turn the gruff Irish/Italian police chief into a black guy, but if you make him a small Asian woman the plot will have to dramatically change to accommodate the new reality.
This is why I believe more roles should go not just to asian female bodybuilders, but to tall female MMA fighters of all races.

Counter-point: All female characters engaging in waif fu are actually paramilitary cyborgs.
It is important to acknowledge this for the benefit of cyborg representation.

Yes, we get it, you’re a centrist with no logical consistency.
so i go to this website, not even having a good time to begin with, and you come on my blog and call me a centrist with your own two stumpy hands
Obviously you just need to go up several tiers of Centrism and seek world conquest under your new radical centrist government. No one will see it coming, because all centrists are boring wishy-washies, right?

Okay, but are you prepared to pay for the enormous energy consumption of a 7 meter long snake body that can accelerate like that? That’s gotta be made out of some sort of ultra-light highly-advanced composite material, because at the weight of ordinary snake per unit volume no muscles could whip it around that fast.
That doesn’t even get into the licensing restrictions where just by existing you count as a light armored vehicle. You know LA has parking requirements for that?
seriously though, there are people on here who are so terrified of saying anything remotely offensive that they’ve cleansed their vocabulary of any meaningful insults and make every insult they go for look like a halfassed attempt for attention
anyone who replaces a post with “chungy/pee your pants/etc.” has the desire to tell someone to kill themselves or call them a cunt or something but are too cowardly to do it.
everyone who does that shit seems to me to just scream “i’m not just a shitty person, i’m also afraid i’m not shitty in the way my shitty friends want me to be”
I honestly do not know if “pee your pants” is a euphemism for “kill yourself” or not because no one seems to have the receipts from someone coining it as a euphemism.
But, regardless of that, yes. I think we’ve basically spiraled ourselves into absurdity. We’ve decided we can’t say cutting words because “they’re triggering”…
…which conveniently lets us tell ourselves the words we have left aren’t cutting.
It reminds me of the linguistic drift you got (and presumably still get) in MMORPGs that had chat and auto blocked usual insults and slurs: that’s how “n00b” became a very strong insult.
Spoken like a true Hanzo main.
The politics in the book I’m reading are so stupid. The bad guys are Evil who do things with the power of Evil, and what I mean by that is that when they do things like take over a university or put their security guards all over the city, there’s no indication at all how they accomplished it, where their support comes from, or how they are financed. It’s as if they derive their power from raw malevolence, and that is enough by itself to create change.
What’s worse is that I fear this is how the author actually views politics in the real world. This Is What Normies Actually Believe, etc.
Don’t worry. In about 50 years, this is how they will be writing about me.
@brazenautomaton: oh so it’s okay when YOU call someone Mei-Ling
inferentialdistance said: Remember that time you complained about all Chinese girls being named Mei Ling in western media?
firstly, I was deliberately lampshading a popular trope
secondly, thank you for noticing! I highly appreciate it when people devote a portion of their mental resources to memorising my posts and scanning them for hypocritical inconsistencies
This is easily explained. You see, Argumate’s real name is actually Mei Ling (male),
