*Never" let a rando on social media "talk you out of" liking something you once enjoyed. That way lies madness.

You realize Trump has adult sons? If he *does* die before his term is over, then Vance succeeds him and Eric or Don Jr. can run (and probably win) in 2028. Face it, the 2024 election was our last chance to preserve the last vestiges of American democracy. That's not "doomerism", it's the truth.
I need riots in the streets level outrage about school shootings.
Their problem is Angrboda is black. That's it.
Contrary to you and Bob's beliefs, I'm not an alt right Republican just because I don't fantasize about their literal extermination.
It's hard to do *anything else* when writing is the only thing you're even marginally good at, and that you enjoy *any* part of the process of doing, even if it's just the "having written" part. The process of getting an idea from your brain onto the page can be excruciatingly difficult.
Bob clearly wants (more than that, thinks he *deserves*) to be the one with the power to choose who gets sent to the camps...and apparently so do you.
What you and he shouldn't do is treat them like a subhuman (Bob's favorite word) species to be exterminated. It's clear Bob wants every American who has voted republican in the last twenty years sent to internment camps to die. That's not a healthy or reasonable worldview no matter who you are.
I'm so sick of Bob demanding the assumption of good faith. The "context" is over a decade of his genocidal rhetoric regarding *everyone* to the right of him politically.
I tried this with the Power Rangers comic when I was a kid and was so confused. That's one reason I *didn't* get into comics. I assume it's also the reason I didn't care for Superman.
The Game Awards are about celebrating games. Not some doomist polemic about how the industry sucks. If you want that, read Jason Scrieier's books. He's the one profiting off misery, not Geoff.
I can't believe this needs to be said, but Geoff Keighley is not solely responsible for the excesses of late stage capitalism, and I'm tired of people using him as a strawman. It's like the people who rant about Taylor Swift being a billionaire. Let people enjoy things.
PSA: if you see a post stating "everyone deserves love" and your first instinct is to respond "wHaT aBoUT hItLeR?!" or "U wAnT aLl wOmEn to bE ur seX SlaVEs!!1!!1!" you're the one with the problem.
You think the fact I'm going to block you gives you the right to screencap my posts?
*sigh* Nice bad faith reading, asshole. Once last time for the cheap seats, the idea that social acceptability is a simple as "wash your ass and don't be a dick" is a position of IMMENSE PRIVILEGE. As in, IT'S👏NOT👏THAT👏SIMPLE. I'm not your strawman. Reported for anti social behavior.
The DCEU did NOT "resonate with the far-right". The only people still talking about it are Snyder obsessives like you and Moviebob.
I believe no one on social media is owed the assumption of good faith. But neither is anyone deserving of an endless torrent of abuse by strangers based on a single barely objectionable thing that they say. As such I will be limiting replies to my posts from now on. If you don't like it, tough.
More to the point, I am not a strawman that only exists to be "dunked on" by strangers on the internet for daring to reply in the negative to someone with a larger following. I am a human being. One you know absolutely nothing about.
I'm going to say this as simply as I can. A gym membership, personal grooming and therapy all cost money, time and effort that not everyone has or can be expected to expend. The idea that social acceptability is as simple as "wash your ass and don't be a dick" is a position of immense privilege.
Since then I have received over 500 replies and quotes of varying levels of harassment and attacks on my character attempting to disabuse me of this notion, seemingly fixated on my use of the word "owed". It should be obvious that I only used the word in reference to the post I was replying to.
Almost two weeks ago, I replied to a thread that ended with the assertion that "men are not owed women" saying what they mean is that men are not owed romantic love and should resign themselves to being alone if they are not privileged enough to meet an arbitrary standard of social acceptability.
That reminds me of a joke. A guy walks into a bar and says, "You see this bar? I built this bar with my own bare hands. I cut down every tree and made the lumber myself. I toiled away through the wind and cold, but do they call me McGreggor the bar builder? No. But ya fuck one goat..."
ALL OF YOU get a life.
I used the word "owed" because I was quoting the OP. The point I was making was "everyone *deserves* love", which shouldn't be a controversial statement.
Reported for false claims.
I'm not a misogynist, or particularly unpleasant according to the people who know me. You DON'T know me, nor do any of the 30+ replies that have dogpiled on me all morning basically telling me to kill myself. Your opinion of me based on a single online interaction is not my responsibility.
The money, time and mental and emotional well being to "do the work" is not a privilege all of us have.
You do realize that what you're really saying is "Straight men are not owed romantic love, and should resign themselves to being alone forever if they aren't privileged enough to meet a standard of social acceptability."
I reserve my hatred for the right wing propagandists who gaslit the electorate into voting against their own best interests.
I absolutely think the Z list youtuber who spends his days ranting about those he views as "subhuman" and how every conflict in history boils down to "thinkers vs believers" would happily see millions of Americans executed for the "crime" of being gaslit into voting against their own best interests.
Seeing as Bob constantly sounds like he's a hairs breadth from walking into a church with an AR-15 and opening fire. What else is his "tHiNkErS vS bEliEvErs!1!!!" shtick supposed to mean?
Nobody had anything negative to say about Bill Cosby either for 50 years until his conviction in 2018. The fact remains that James Euringer groomed a child while at the same time James Gunn was making pedophilic dogwhistles on social media, attending pedo themed parties and doing drugs with the guy
Enjoy your block, along with a report for anti-social behavior.
I can't believe this needs to be said, but yes. Demonizing your political opponents as *all* actively trying, everyday, to kidnap, imprison, kill or enslave hundreds of millions of people is wrong. Every republican voter in America is not an unrepentant psychopath who deserves to die.
He was Gunn's best friend, who was grooming a child at the same time that Gunn was making "edgy jokes" about pedophilia on Twitter and going to "ironic" pedophile themed parties thrown by said best friend, dressed as a priest. Any serious person would question what Gunn knew, and when he knew it.
Let's not pretend you're unaware of Gunn's relationship with James Euringer.
It's not either. It's a statement of fact.
You shouldn't need to be "inspired" to vote against fascism. Enthusiastically, and without complaint.
He'd say the same thing about a tweet from 30 seconds ago. Because to him taking *anything* he says on social media seriously enough to *dare* criticize it is "weird loser behavior".
The problem with Thunderbolts and BNW wasn't that they didn't make money, it was that they cost so much that they would have had to make a billion just to make their budget back.
If Bob really thinks people with his job shouldn't be listened to, he should get another job. Moreover, he should take his own advice, stop complaining about people with his job complaining about popular things, and just like what he likes.
I'm not sure what "discourse" OP is referring to, but I'm assuming it's about somebody who's "internet famous". And as I said, internet culture thrives on cultivating parasocial relationships.
America has treated white, land owning men as default since the signing of the Constitution. This is not a new phenomenon, and it certainly has nothing to do with "the modal gamer".
The entire business model of social media/internet culture is based on *cultivating* said parasocial relationships...you can't sell cigarettes and blame the consumer for getting addicted.
My "worldview" is the correct one. But by all means, continue using your platform to condemn every American liberal politician that fails to ride into the Levant on a white horse and dismantle the Jewish state. Keep complaining on social media and calling it "protest". Makes no difference to me.
I'm just using common sense. Also, Israel is one of the largest arms manufacturers in the world. If the U.S cut them off tomorrow, they'd *still* have enough ordinance to wipe Gaza off the face of the earth. And they would.
Israel has one of the largest defense industries in the world.
Let's get one thing straight. If Biden had cut off U.S. support of Israel, Netanyahu very likely would have levelled Gaza right then and there, branded the U.S. an enemy of the Jews and started WWIII. The only thing Biden *could* do to not *escalate* the conflict was maintain the status quo.
Opposing the Democratic Party has nothing whatsoever to do with "opposing genocide". By *crassly* conflating the two you and others like you helped to elect a man who would gleefully turn Gaza into a parking lot for a golf course with his name on it.
The only world leaders with a responsibility to the people of Gaza are Benjamin Netanyahu and the leadership of Hamas. Period.
It obviously wasn't the *only* factor, but it certainly moved the needle in favor of Trump. Leftists crass and dismissive memes of Biden/Harris (Copmala, Genocide Joe etc.) on socials potentially reached millions of Americans. Leftists led a grassroots campaign that ensured neither one got elected
You missed the last part of that sentence. Read it again.
Sure leftists held their noses and voted for Harris...and then ran to social media to virtue signal to their thousands of followers about how *morally conflicted* they were for doing so. And as a direct result many of those followers voted for Trump (or RFK, or Jill Stein) so now we're here.
No. Biden was *always* going to run and was the *only* democratic candidate that could have actually *won*, because he was the incumbent and an old, white man. It was *your* responsibility to vote blue no matter who and not run to social media to virtue signal about how *bad* it made you feel.
The "Snyderbros" are a vanishingly small minority of people on social media that nobody but you gives a fuck about. The DCEU is over. Move on.
If I live that long, I won't be thinking about the DCEU at all...but you will be.
You hit the nail on the head. And that overriding sense of betrayal is why it's so hard to take Rowling haters seriously.
Those films were in no way "explicitly right wing", and the only people still talking about them are haters like you who remain incensed that ANYONE could DARE enjoy a trilogy of films from a decade ago that you personally don't.
He's obviously arguing that Raimi is *not* an auteur.
Actually no it's not, because it's not one of his "jokes" about how *everyone* to the right of Bob politically should be herded into camps and eradicated.
...What?
What the hell is that supposed to mean? Kamala Harris is not my "idol". I'm simply pointing out the reality that leftists failed to vote blue as a bloc, and so the alt-right has put *their* idol in power again, and the world is on the brink of WWIII.
Nothing *of value* at least. Performative protest that amounts to fiddling while Rome burns. If leftists were capable of holding power instead of endlessly critiquing it, they would have *all* voted for Kamala Harris. Without reservation or complaint.
Everyone who cares should have voted for every Democrat on the federal ballot *last year* if we were to have any hope of saving the country. Specifically, they should have voted for Kamala Harris. But they didn't, so Donald Trump is president again, and the country *can't* be saved.
Change *my* heart? I'll have you know I voted for Kamala Harris without reservation or complaint. Just because I don't believe everyone who's ever worn a MAGA hat deserves the gas chamber doesn't make me a far right sympathizer.
Movies also shouldn't cost so much that they *have* to make a billion dollars to break even.
*sigh* Bob is not saying MAGA "beliefs" should not exist. He's saying every single American who voted Republican in the last two decades should be *executed* to usher in the geniocratic utopia he believes he's owed. Just because someone *doesn't* believe that doesn't make *them* MAGA by default.
It's accelerationism to go online and endlessly undermine the only outcome that would have kept this country from descending into fascism, all because she and Joe Biden failed to ride into the Levant on a white horse and dismantle the Jewish state.
Why, because I don't complain about the dems endlessly on the internet while Donald Trump wipes his ass with our civil liberties?
How about you fuck off, accelerationist.
People like you who "held your nose" to vote for Kamala and ran home to complain on social media about how much it pained you are the reason this is happening in the first place. Either we ALL vote blue ENTHUSIASTICALLY AND WITHOUT COMPLAINT, in EVERY election, or the country falls and we all die.
I'm not getting into a semantic argument with you. Goodbye.
"These people" are only still talking about Snyder's Superman at all because people like *you* won't shut up about how much you hate it a decade after MoS.
When I heard NPH I honestly thought it was Yuri Lowenthal (Insomniac Spider-Man) doing a Ryan Reynolds impression, which would have been hilarious.
Bob's the weirdo.
Bob Chipman is not owed the assumption of good faith.
I think I held out for a handful of hours, until I got sick of the incoherent dub.
It's not fine to be mean to *other people* for daring to enjoy entertainment that you don't.
Alternately Bob could just stop making endless mean spirited "jokes" about the Snyderverse for the engagement and this guy would leave him alone...but we all know that's not gonna happen.
Bob won't move on because he *insists* on posting about the now long defunct "Snyderverse" and calling anyone who dares enjoy it an alt right goon to morally justify his obsession. He won't be satisfied until anyone who *dares* to enjoy these movies is eradicated from the face of the earth.
She looks like her Witcher 3 model, ported to UE5. Which is pretty much what it is.
It's obvious that the people who want the show to be more like the game are the people who *actually* liked it half a decade ago. I promise you, they do exist.
You call it "being a little hyperbolic". I call it an authoritarian dogwhistle.
Are you serious?
I'm not making anything up. Bob's been making veiled threats against anyone he deems inferior for years...and gaslighting his followers that he's just telling "jokes" whenever he gets called out on it. All his favorite catchphrases like "Thinkers vs Believers", "stupid people shouldn't exist" etc.
I would hope we're not *all* thinking that Republican voters are subhuman animals that deserve to be eradicated. Either way, my gripe is that Moviebob is no better than the lot of them, in spite of his endless claims to the contrary.
I am not. I voted for Kamala without reservation. In fact I happen to sincerely believe Trump's reelection to be humanity's inciting extinction event. I think future generations will look to this election as the beginning of the end for the human race. I don't see us coming back from this.
I'm not one of those people, and have given you no reason to believe otherwise. I have no idea how you got there from me criticizing Moviebob tbh.
You're talking about a stranger, who you know nothing about.
Notice I said "Republican voters", not "fascists". Contrary to popular belief they are not the same thing, and should not be equated.
The only time I can recall using the term "common sense" on this website is in reference to the fact that the U.S. shouldn't provoke Israel into starting World War 3 to make leftists feel better about voting blue. If you're digging into my profile to make fun of me, I'm not the one with the problem
Seriously? He's spent years touting his intellectual superiority over "subhuman" Republican voters, and stopping just short of saying they should all be rounded up into camps and shot so he can live in the better world he's "owed"...and gaslighting anyone who calls him out on it that he's "joking".
Maybe not, but things would be better.
No one's attaching their self worth to anything. There's absolutely nothing wrong or sad about being happy when something you enjoy is being enjoyed by others. Nothing at all.
*sigh* CinemaSins is not responsible for any Live-Action Disney Remake sucking. CinemaSins is not responsible for *anything*. If film execs take a comedy YouTube channel seriously, it's their own fault.
Or just a straight up live action Kingdom Hearts.
You don't know what you're talking about. It's a fad that corporations are gambling on that will burn out as soon as they start losing money on it.
