Creative works you enjoyed until politics happened - "How politics made me hate Welcome to Nightvale and other things"

[Corn Flakes]

The idea that there are people who aren't smart enough to play the 'buy the latest Space Marines, place on table, and sit back' game is mind-boggling to me.

They don't need to play the game. They don't even need to be able to think. This is just a script written well in advance: all they have to do is say they do and talk about how "disappointed" they are about X being "bigoted" or "problematic".

Jones really let himself go. Good to see Garcia (and i think Kimball) back.

In my head cannon, Jones gets filthy rich from royalties for singing tons of carpet installation jingles until he bankrupts himself by spending it all on hookers and blow. Desperate for cash, he goes back to the Reno Sheriff’s Department and offers his body to Lt. Dangle to get his old job back.

I think one of the most invaluable things one can do is not to follow any creative person they admire on Twitter. Just do everything you can to avoid observing the brain worms doing their work. In fact, just don’t use Twitter at all.

I disagree. My main hobby is reading fiction. I'm happy to look at the politics of the authors. If I really like the sound of their stuff but not their views, I simply pirate the book. The only book I've bought from an explicit leftist is Eric Flint.

The only worthwhile thing AS has going for it is Toonami, and that is soured by the fact that almost everything they show on Toonami is either stuff by Aniplex or stuff by Funimation, and everyone in the Anime community knows how pozzed Funimation is now and how woke they are. Doesn't help that their show lineup isn't the best and their hours are super late. And those "Stop Asian Hate" bumpers they did for a while were just cringy.

Yep. A bunch of really long bumpers virtue signaling about how beating up Asians was bad because "Asians totally made anime, dude!". They finally stopped doing that, but all of the Funimation shows still start with this stupid title card telling everyone how "Yeah, we are totally taking COVID serious guys! Everybody who works on the dubs observes social distancing and shit!"

First of all, nobody gives a shit Funimation. Second of all, people watch these shows to forget about COVID, not be constantly reminded of it. Toonami will show these pointless title cards, but not the full openings and/or endings. SMH.

You know what would be much more effective? Calling out the current CEO of Adult Swim for being a hateful and spiteful chink and nip slur tossing asian hater because she can't stand how anime is more prevalent among viewers. But no, lol, just spew on and on about preaching to the choir, TOM.

Some few decades from now, someone-- maybe a preschool or kindergarten teacher-- is gonna convince my kid that I'm an abusive monster for wanting to wait until my kid gets closer to puberty before talking about sex and sexuality.

Spoiler: Sperging

"Your parents are abusive. They're homophobic, transphobic, and they're not letting you be who you truly are. You can trust me, though. Your parents won't accept you for who you are, but I will. Your feelings are valid and hecking rad!"

My kid is going to trust this person more than their parents. And this person is going to exploit this trust to at best place them with a support group of other like-minded LGBTQ+ people, at worst diddle them. And I won't suspect a damn thing because while the kid will be uncomfortable at first (as they rightly should be), they will get over it as this person convinces them that a kindergartener hanging around people who talk about sex a lot is okay.

And if I somehow do find out and get mad that a sex pest is taking advantage of my kid? It's not a sex pest taking advantage of my kid, it's a supportive adult who fulfills the parental role that the kid's actual parents refuse to and let the kid be themselves and be happy! Hope I enjoy losing custody of my kid and getting sentenced to life in prison!

Whatever happened to, "If a child knows a lot about sex, they're probably being abused"?

War gaming is even better because Wokies aren't smart enough for it and are too lazy to do anything that requires a modicum of effort. It's largely why they've been so unsuccessful at infesting the Warhammer Fandom.

Why infiltrate fandoms? These people can simply get into companies themselves, and rule from the top. Getting through hiring process and grinding towards roles with any degree of control is not a new strategy. That's what's been happening to GW in recent years. Pandering started around time they signed a comic book deal with Marvel. It will only accelerate once other multimedia projects will get closer to release. Most pressure is applied from the corporate level. At the same time, there are reddit and forums. Moderators and community managers try to steer the fandom away from anything they consider problematic. So do groups like sigmarxism and other reddit communities.

I'll say the quiet part loud: they don't like that because it means it's easier to notice that the kids are being groomed.

Did you know that they released a 7th season of Reno 911! last year? It wasn’t quite as funny as earlier seasons, but it still has most of the original cast members and manages to retain a lot of the original spirit of the show. They’re currently working on season 8 now.

This was surprisingly ok. They got into political stuff but it played all sides and was pretty funny. That episode with Tim Allen pretending to be from Space Force and making Dangle run around doing goofy shit in space blanket shorts was classic Reno 911. One of the few fun things current year didn't ruin.

The sooner the kids knows(min 5 years-old), the better honestly. Will spot degeneracy when he gets older immediately. Still, I think the parents are the ones that should take the initiative, not school.

There's a way to frame it that isn't about sex that 4 year olds can understand. Families can be different, some kids have two mommies and some kids have two daddies. Done. Scores woke points, doesn't get into sexuality and sexual politics, is simple enough a child would understand, and most importantly doesn't involve fucking drag queens. I don't know when it was decided that the best child educators were drag queens.

Sex Ed for kids

Plants grow from seeds, right? Mommy has baby seed called “eggs” inside of her. Daddy waters the seeds with his “sperm” that comes out his “penis.” In nine months the seed grows into a baby and comes out Mommy’s “vagina.”

Isn’t that amazingly concise?

And, if any further questions arise, explain that it only starts happening when it is the right time.

Horror films. It’s been a slow downward progression since the 90s with affirmative action type stuff.

Jordon Peele is mediocre and woke celebs prop up his nigger fantasies so he thinks he’s clever. I promise you Jordie, the last thing a racist wants to do is steal your body, I’d be more wary of the white libs you surround yourself with. ‘Us’ was better, some of the visuals were really interesting, but it’s so disjointed and nonsensical it loses the plot. Hopefully he’ll crawl back into the hole he came from since his Twilight Zone revamp was a stinking failure.

Following this we’ve gotten a slew of ‘white people be scary and shit’ films...It’s all so tiring.

 

[Grand_Ole_Ostritch]

I really liked Bo Burnham, but his latest special was a lot of him moping and talking about how he's really into Communist literature now.

Funny you should mention that, since one of the themes of that film was how woke liberal whites fetishize and put black people on a pedestal, while still being just as racist underneath.

I really liked Bo Burnham, but his latest special was a lot of him moping and talking about how he's really into Communist literature now.

I had first found and watched a bit of Bo Burnham a few years ago and liked some of his songs and stand ups (I've seen some of vines earlier, but didn't realize that was him until later). As with everything in comedy nowadays, I already assumed he went down the woke route so I never had the urge to see what he's been up to. Sounds like I'm making the right choice.

Again, racists don’t want to be the thing that they hate, the film is just projectionist fantasy. Libs would want to be black to gain victim points, not because they’re racist or dreaming of BBC. It’s all about emotional currency.

I think he really missed making a minor plot twist that would have made complete sense in story. The main character Chris and his white girlfriend have to deal with a white male cop who hinted to a racist. This happens in movie but what if later we found out that the cop has been looking leads on disappearing black people for awhile now? Naturally this would mean that coming across an unfamiliar black guy the cop would get suspicious, not of Chris but for Chris. I think this would have added to the liberal mind screw aspect of the movie if Chris had good people looking out for him but he prejudged and rejected them do his own biases.

I've checked out podcasts where they dive into older movies like "Dude, where's my car?" and the jerky boys movie. Their wokeness just makes them dismiss the comedy outright.
The podcast about "Dude, where's my car" was especially woke where they just dismissed the movie outright because of the tranny stripper bit.
It was a fun stoner movie and the audience I saw it with had no issues with that scene.
