@ChristiJunior@Pantangelini@Terry geez you guys make everything about WW2 the more recent "fuck out and find out" is 1. displace two million people into a walled concentration camp 2. treat their concerns like a matter for the police to control 3. support, and openly as recently as 2019, Hamas as a way of keeping the two million people from having a stable and effective government that you might have to deal with 4. ignore warnings about a big attack because, hey, an attack would benefit you to respond to anyway 5. (find out: get attacked!) 6. go full mask off genocidal against a group that's half children, say "even a baby born three seconds ago in Gaza is not innocent", "it should be a parking lot", "this densely populated area with tall buildings should turn into a tent city by some means", and them bomb them for effect while knowing that the enemy that you supported built tunnels with your support, make COMPLETELY POINTLESS LIES about atrocity porn when you have plenty of dead civilians you could be talking about 7. (find out: get hated!) 8. (find out: friendship meetings CANCELLED with Saudi Arabia) 9. (find out: all of your hostile neighbors are suddenly much friendlier with each other) 10. (find out:) this is all super fresh. Steaming, FAFO
@anonymous@mousewaffen@Moon@Zerglingman Remnant II was pretty good. You start the game with a strong black woman who don't need no man, who is always saving you, who is constantly spewing 'funny' racial commentary, jokes about a paradise run by "an old white guy", who is clearly dying. You think: she's grating, but she's going to die. Heh, they're really going with that? Then she doesn't die. Then you check the forums and see that she turns into a radio operator who spews 'funny' racial commentary at you for THE ENTIRE REST OF THE GAME
@caekislove@leespringfield1903@dictatordave@Terry BLM: a bunch of black children just died journo: I am *so* concerned for you. Can you explain how the real villain stems from my political adversaries? Hamas: I killed some infidel settlers journo: guh! uh, oh, I'm sorry, I just can't, this is so horrible. I feel sick. Everything's spinning.
don't worry the public are stupid nobody's having any weird thoughts about this.
@p@SNEK@SoyMagnus@Zerglingman Those are Japanese characters. I've heard lots of funny speech patterns in anime, but if there's a Chinese idiom like that it's just not coming to mind. My Chinese is pretty rusty though, and also there are large regional differences and slang.
@SoyMagnus@p@SNEK@Zerglingman ever hear Enigma's "Return to Innocence"? Sung by an Amerindian dude in the music video? It's an Taiwanese drinking song.
4 tones isn't so bad. Cantonese has more. And they're pretty distinct provided you can hear them: high tone, rising, low tone, and falling tone. The characters are also fun to write, and even easier to learn for Chinese than say for Japanese where they're much more overloaded with different readings. There's a funny 4chan post somewhere about how terrible it is to know Chinese and deal with Chinese business in the Chinese market, but you'll notice he doesn't bash the language at any point.
@Terry@coin@KryptoBlok it's easier to grant that stuff. Hamas doesn't pick pacifists for its fighters, militaries with a lot more discipline and open faces and name tags still commit war crimes. There are just definitely 260 civilians killed in Gaza now, and what are saying about those civilians is very different from what they're saying about these rave-goers, and it's actually much harder to defend yourself and your family against the kind of attacks Gaza's seeing than the kind of attacks the rave-goers saw.
There are few important discriminatory lines for people. You probably don't care about the people whose line is something like "a single toenail of a Jewish person is worth more than the lives of a million non-Jews". But I imagine that for most people talking about this, the line is "who can they self-insert as?" I've been a music festival. I can easily imagine getting attacked at a music festival. I have never worried about deliberately indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas by an overwhelming opponent. It's a lot harder to imagine how I'd act if I knew my upstairs neighbors were fucking journalists and that an enemy with information and air superiority might take them out (and me) because they're talking too much.
@ArdainianRight@admin there's a lot of reasoning about this that assumes that decision-makers are smart have careful plans, which is a very strange thing to assume in the current year. For me Hamas's attack being suicidal on its face doesn't imply that they definitely have backing from other powers. For me this turning into a huge negative for Israel doesn't mean they didn't let it happen. It's not only the west that has distracted leaders always high on their own farts.
@Terry >trans activists >open borders advocates he's just replaced his brain with an LLM here, completing the sentence with likely words based on preceding words. Both of these groups are clearly on the Israeli side. The right-version of "transphobes, homophobes, racists, ..."
@pleasesaybye@Shadowman311 Q: what do you think of this actual video of civilians dying in Gaza? A: they deserve it Q: so civilians deserve the consequences of the evil that their leaders do? A: yes Q: uh ok so back to this civilian woman that was dissected... doesn't it seem like Hamas completely agrees with you?
@MoeBritannica Q: who will be the next 'Vic Micnogna' in voice acting, cancelled and fired over fake sexual offenses because he was a hardass and his coworkers didn't want him to become a manager? A: there won't be another one, because the profession won't exist.
@Terry that's much more believable though than "we found 40 babies with their heads cut off" Some Hamas killed a bunch of civilians, and babies were among the civilians. That can happen. After all, it's happening right now in Gaza where the IDF is indiscriminately bombing civilians and even bragging about how indiscriminate the bombing is. This seems to be a normal thing for them.
@ArdainianRight@caekislove the shame is that this can't be the citizenship test: 1. watch an hour of clips of attacks on Israeli civilians 2. get asked very basic moral questions about Gazan civilians there's an element of personal threat that's necessary, as just proven by general unconcern for Ukrainians LARPing all the time as a Nazis. It's not as simple a condition as getting someone drunk.
@Zerglingman@theorytoe they hated him because mac&cheese is one of the most delicious foods available to the human palette. Which does not mean that better foods exist, but that mac&cheese to fall significantly down the ranks of good food, the speaker must be either an alien or a post-human evolution of man that can comfortably digest insect chitin, who thinks that locusts actually are the best food.
You filthy locust eater! Get out of the game! Humans don't want you around!
@Moto_Chagatai@DrRyanSkelton she acts like a walking red flag though, which is great dedication even if she occasionally talks about 'her model': 1. she has multiple streams about insects. Buying an archeology science kit and digging insect fossils out of it. Wanting to eat bugs 2. she's very attentive to chat, greets people by name, talks to them in chat in pre-stream. Really gives the sense that she has a spreadsheet that she updates every day with your name, blood type, and bank account on it. 3. she's into writing, encourages writing, and reads written submissions. Creepy! This is the creepiest point! there's also a debut joke about eating with scissors but I doubt it has legs. in collabs she's super nice though. Very responsible dog owner.
@lina what's the acronym? MAP? CSAM? If it's either of those, they think they're pretty direct about it. of leftist attitudes towards pedophilia there are different levels of glowingness :brain0: that's something that I imagine right-wing trailer park people do, so I oppose it :brain1: love is love, age is just a number, as long as the child consents :brain2: anti-pedophilia sentiment is actually anti-gay sentiment, because gay men start having voluntary sexual experiences that aren't molestation at all as preteens, with much older men, and it's normal. The real shame is that gays have to hide this aspect of their community, when so many look back fondly on the adult men who welcomed them into the community at a tender age when most of society was scary and probably hostile :brain3: pedophilias OK because who here hasn't raped a child to death? But it's better to oppose it so that the blackmail keeps working
