What does evidence is irrelevant once there is something incriminating on it? Like dismiss the evidence if they perceive that there is something morally objectionable about it?

If it's objecting the woke academics of yore then alright but then again, that's very disingenuous of intellectuals.

I also feel like this applies to the lolicon/shotacon is pedophilia argument. There's a plethora of research that suggests that lolicon may lessen pedophilic tendencies by giving the pedos an outlet.

There's also one that suggests that lolicon/shotacon does not equal to pedophilic tendencies.

So I take it that by the logic of the person being portrayed in the meme above, that these researches are moot cause they somewhat agree with objectionable ideas.

I've never been subjected to the woke commercials of various companies that prompted many Americans to boycott them, should I still boycott them? by RichardsonDavis in whatever

Pepsi all the way brother. That or Royal Crown.

But less of them sodas as much as I can. I'm 22 and I'm already fat as fuck.

I should go with either soymilk or gelatin drinks. Either one would be my fill.

I will not deny your claim. I had Sinovac as well. I can show you my vaccine card if you'd like. I will accept that the vaccine is severely flawed and the people around me who didn't get sick are either lucky or most likely got an "inferior" version.

“A scary # of kids are dying after taking the Covid vax — from myocarditis among other injuries,” Former Fox News Host Megyn Kelly wrote on Twitter. “Don’t listen [to the CDC]. Be v careful w/ your teenage boys in partic but girls too. These are not honest brokers. This is dangerous!” by Orangutan in politics

Which Vaccines? I'm sure it's either Moderna or Pfizer. None of that Chinese crap.

I wonder why many Western people have adverse effects to the vaccine. I got jabbed three times, the third time was Pfizer. Either we're given watered down versions or people outside the US are given a different version. Both have the same idea, anyway. I'm not sure why made an "or" sentence if both options meant the same thing. Hmmmm.

Anywho, the vaccines have failed me. Three jabs later and nothing. Although mask mandates have become optional now in public but not in enclosed private areas like malls and stuff. And offices although you may take them off when your in your station.

I..... don't really have that high an IQ. I will take the "at best" route then.

I'm not sure what to take from this conversation. It isn't very clear cut.

The pattern of deceit in my nation wasn't centered around the vaccine and the mandates. So I guess I have an extremely different perspective than Americans.

I understand the placebo part. If me pointing out that there is a different effect on other races, then that would indeed be genocide. Thanks for making that clear.

Can't believe science? What the fuck are we taught at school of we can't believe science? What?

I've had the vaccine thrice. I also know other people who've had the vaccine thrice. They haven't succumbed to what the reports are in the US, where there are adverse effects.

I cannot say for other but I had the Chinese Sinovac, through and through. Nothing. A little heavy on the arm but nothing. No adverse nor beneficial effects. Probably died after two days, tops.

An observation that I've come up with is that the adverse effects come from different genetic or different medical problems that are already around when the vaccine was injected. I have no way to test this hypothesis and thus it is dead in the water.

If many say the vaccine will do more harm than good, I question why it did not affect me or the people around me?

If one research cannot be replicated, then it is just bull. I get that now.

I think the definition implies that the term is not very useful outside of arguments outside the internet or in a debate setting.

I do agree with that.

So to clarify, we became the way we are now, or rather, the West (West being the US, Canada and Western European States) became the way it is now because of intellectual inbreeding, like Marxist knowledge just gets more diverse while those that have ideas that may be beneficial is thrown out. And that has trickled itself down to society.

Do correct me if I'm wrong. I wish to test my understanding of this.

And this paradigm of suspicion, I take it it's the vigilance thing. Only those who are vigilant are free or something. Right?

And that with vigilance comes eternal suspicion and that provides nihilism.

That nihilism is countered by kafkatrapping.

Did I get that right u/ChipIt?

Reading is faster but I understand. Bleach is big cause it's Bleach. Like Star Wars 7. It had a big opening cause it's Star Wars.

I'll wait for what Gigguk would say about it.

And I've dropped Bleach after a few arcs cause holy shit that's long. One arc that's just long as fuck.

What do you guys think of The Critical Drinker and Mauler? by RichardsonDavis in AskSaidIt

[–]RichardsonDavis[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I like the fruits of their labors, save for Mauler. Too damn long. The Drinker brings up good points but I just sometimes disagree with it that when I double check my disagreement makes me agree with the bluepilled SJWs that dislike the Drinker.

I mean I've learned that I don't have to take them seriously if what the ideas they present would be too complex and difficult for me to understand.

If there's anything I envy about them, it's how they analyze the movies and the tv shows. I was told that it takes time but I've been around 22 years and I still feel like a soyboy NPC.

And I did say that I am not appreciative of how they are considered authorities in movies and Tv shows. I just treat them like Chris Stickman or Jeremy Jahns. Just people who review stuff online.

I would contest that. I've read it twice. I dropped it once cause I thought maybe Viz made an oopsie on the translation and I decided to check the fan translation.

On my second read through I realized that neither translation was inferior nor superior, it was just that the story wasn't for me. It was confusing. Very confusing.

Three times I've re-read that chapter, my God. Anyway, I won't ruin it for you any further but more the power to you.

It's nearing two hundred chaps as well, fyi. Have fun.

Huh. They do start acting like twats since a while back. They once said to stay away from KiA2 cause they're very extreme. I agree to that but they aren't as bad as the guy who calls everyone who doesn't agree with his definition of censorship as astroturfers, like come on. Jesus fuck.

KiA2, I guess, is focused more on the main problems. If you announcer your identity you're out, yeah?

When you want to change something, you have to accept the fact that someone will be offended by it.

Simple as that it is, in its last consequence.

I guess that's Sarkeesian's mistake. She wanted to do good by her own rules then the world rebuked her and then she just went nuts, I guess.

To understand you, there will be the helper. People who boost their own ego by helping. The recipient who feels like they want to do something by themselves and the patient who is? Forgive me but I couldn't understand what the patient was about.

Then these helpers try to get into something they don't understand either partially or in full and to hide that they go woke.

Which achieves nothing. Am I correct on that front?

I get the "punished" concept. Their turn to do the whacking.

I get the idea of the soothing of conscience. Peace of mind, right? I get that.

Mostly for me, wokeness is when certain privileged groups act as they are the only ones who can save a "people". Treat them like infants instead of letting the people grow up. Much like how they were raised, I reckon.

I've lived a privileged life in relation to the rest, in my country. I have more in common with the woke than I realized but one thing I know is that treating the marginalized that they don't have to do anything is not something I was taught.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this but my point is that I don't see the disadvantaged as always disadvantaged. They're just lazy at best and worst.

If that makes sense. I'd gladly elaborate if you'd like.

It's an interesting concept. If used correctly, it can be a powerful tool for parent child relationships.

Of course that's not always the case and we end up with borderline pedophilic materials.

I never said anything about supporting. My main argument is that if something is woke but has elements that made it enjoyable to an individual, then that individual should be allowed to state their opinion about it.

If one of those shows, comics or whatnot does present an anti-white bias then alright but what else is there? One can be against that kind of thing while also enjoying the other aspects of that show, comic or whatnots.

Oh, you mean "Wandering... something". I know the premise. It was interesting. Just gotta check a recap of it.

Although, if modern identity politics was done as well as X-Men in the 60s or something then will it be despised as much as it is today?

I seem to recall there are good Christian movies. Then again, they were Bible stories so Christian stories, they were not, I would reckon.

I am quite dense to not realized I am being lectured, if I am speaking honestly. I can identify when a character is being obnoxious or something but what the woke message is? Not so much.

I am not the most perceptive motherfucker so yeah. Prolly gonna have a hard time being with the anti-SJWs without truly believing in their cause.

Well, if that's the term used to identify those who wouldn't join the anti-SJW force then so be it.

I must admit, I have made this post as a means to find answers in media that I personally find good but some of the anti-SJWs or mostly all of them do not.

I feel a bit alienated and very unsure of what I am allowed to like. It gets most confusing.

Schafrillas Productions don't have politics in his brand. He's great.

Olay, Gigguk, main channel. Neutral in politics. He had some opinions on the Trash Taste podcasts though but not outright. Allegedly.

But I do check woke anime subreddit and the consensus is that he's still the best anituber in their eyes. Maybe a minority but it does get upvoted so maybe not the minority.

Which is why I'm confused why FEE would put his video as an example of the anti woke being positive of Arcane. The Critical Drinker and The Angry Joe Show is also made an example which is a no brainer but there is also another who is quite apolitical as well.

I guess the point was that many non-far left people give it a masterpiece level. That since the reviews on Youtube doesn't really tell if it's a masterpiece or not so I get that.

Not really a pro mask person. Just really curious to be on the right side of history. Helps me disregard anything else.

If being anti mask is correct, then embodying that ideal by any means is just for me.

I already had an idea that masks nor the vaccines were useless. I have my own sentiments but what I'd like is to truly understand the sentiment of distrust. If masks weren't mandated, I wouldn't wear them but they are where I'm from.

I view any attempt to make me wear a mask despite the evidence of it's ineffectiveness to be a personal attack on my bodily autonomy and liberty. I take it very very seriously, and will not shop anywhere that requires me to wear one.

This basically is what I find difficult to fully realize. Like I get the concept but it's not a concept I'm willing to die for.

I've been wearing them masks before the mandates even began. By then, I got used to it but it gets very stuffy.

I don't mind the mandates, not at all. Stems from being in an Asian society. I take it, you'd be the odd one out in a Japanese societal setting.

I agree with the riskier behavior part. It will embolden some to go out and probably would be the cause of more infections. Explains why in my country, the COVID thing is still low.

Sounds like something I'd find at a Tumblr screenshot post on Pinterest. The kind where it's a thread discussing what masks are and why they're useless. I have not seen one, unfortunately. Maybe it's there but not very around.

As far as human ignorance is concerned, I'm not sure how to address that.

Fair enough. Reminded me of the SCP Wiki. Man, to think how it's fallen. Woke articles, fine but the rewrites were the last straw.

Anyway, I appreciate you being a great sport so have a pleasant day.

What would most likely happen if the West, in this case The US, Canada and Western Europe, falls? by RichardsonDavis in AskSaidIt

Well, you still have critics and Paris hasn't gone to total shit unlike San Francisco. Some niggers sure but not total San Francisco.

Maybe I'm just talking out of my ass. Maybe.

Yeah. Good answer. I'm worked up over nothing.

I mean, who gives a fuck right? No, why should I give a fuck? I don't partake in these hobbies and I've got no stake so why?

Man, I really need to set my priorities straight huh?

Well, this has been enlightening. You're better than most shrinks. Thanks u/FuckYourMom.

Fair enough. Maybe it will be Asia's turn to reign. China unchecked would just collapse itself in the process so I guess a global China that lasts a century can be ruled out. I'm not saying China would take over, they most certainly will but they won't be at it for long.

I agree with the Russian sphere. Europe Comics will be a thing for the world. Maybe English would stay the lingua franca and those European comics would be translated to English.

Japan and Korea would decide what to do with the world and maybe be a very dangerous opposition to China.

The Middle East stays destabilized. The Western European nations would scramble to repair the damage they caused. America is already in shambles and is probably between niggers, niggaz, crackas and crackers with the tacos and burritos interspersed between. Basically a hellhole. I wouldn't be surprised if they nuked each other.

To address what you said about technology, I guess so. Japan and Korea and regrettably China runs the technology world.

But what do you think about the topic on hand, where adding a non-race swapped original minority character to a fighting game franchise?

You know what would work? White monkey stories. White people who are hired cause they're white. That they embody Whiteness and all that.

Seems like a great tale to tell. Plenty of interviews from various sources already.

And I was referring to gamingcirclejerk as the sub. Although the KiA one is neat too.

Can someone explain to me what wokeness is? by RichardsonDavis in AskSaidIt

I love the deer analogy. Yes, I agree. If things are left unchecked they become over the top.

Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate it. This was a wonderful answer. You have a nice day now.

It just shifted from being a physical consequence, largely doled out by boys, to a social one, where the girls had the upper hand.

I see. So this is where those mean girls came from.

Okay, just to reiterate, to see if I understood it.

Imagine it's those people who ask you to sign some things and expecting just signatures and people holding up signs is going to change the state of the world, in other words, people who are in way over their heads.

I have never experienced said people but I had a run-in with some religious people asking for donations. They're not too bad but a tad bit annoying.

Then they got kept in check by the jock bullies. Which, forgive me, you seem to view favorably. I do take offence at the idea that jock bullies are a "force for good". I will concede to the possibility that they kept those goody two shoes in check. There is a saying by someone that says that they'd rather be ruled by some jock bully than a goody two-shoes. A jock bully would just be mean for a while but a goody-two shoes would be unintentionally mean, forever.

But I wholly disagree with the reasoning that jock bullies are an entire force for good.

Maybe, just maybe one of them was an Arthur Fleck and that doing their goody two-shoes thing gave them purpose.

Okay, I believe I may be straying off topic.

I can't address anything about this post anymore. I get the parts where those goody two-shoes got the power and the power to bully and those goody two-shoes aided by the system have become the system that's the cause of the decline of America.

I will admit though that the last part sounded very conspiratorial.

And this is why you cant find items at the supermarket anymore. The gears of commerce are gummed up by people who are far more concerned that you're addressing everyone by their proper pronouns, rather than filling out the paperwork that they were employed to do, that's going to allow that container ship to dock at your city's port to unload those supermarket goods.

This part.

And all this could have been avoided if they'd just been on the receiving end of a good wedgie in grade eleven.

Although I do get what this means, I'd still like a much more thorough explanation on how this would be so. If it's not a bother too much.

Overall, fantastic answer.

Fight back, whiteys. Fight back. I need more Saami representation in my movies. More Hungarian horse riders. More Russian empires. More French people.

God forbid the white race dies. Asians will just make a very large world where karoshi is just the best course of action.

Ah yeah. Ryan Chapman said the same thing. He discussed in a vein similar to how Anita Sarkeesian presents her ideas, calm and with examples.

Except that he lets you see what he means while Sarkeesian just repeats a phrase while showing an example. I recommend Chapman.

I guess that's been true since the 70s?

Many leftists have an intense identification with the problems of groups that have an image of being weak (women), defeated (American Indians), repellent (homosexuals), or otherwise inferior. The leftists themselves feel that these groups are inferior. They would never admit it to themselves that they have such feelings, but it is precisely because they do see these groups as inferior that they identify with their problems.

Jesus fucking Christ. That's, that's fucking racist. NOW, THAT, THAT SHIT IS MOTHERFUCKING RACIST. HOLY SHIT!!!!

Jesus fuck me. God help us all if this shit stays any longer.

Well said. The nibbas on the streets, the asian running a laundromat or a girl who tries her darndest to work despite her disability.

I guess it's patronizing them. That they can't do it themselves, that they can't make it unless they have help. Of course everyone needs help but not the help that hurts others.

It's easy to identify in real life but I find difficulty in identifying woke messaging in movies unless it's very obvious.
