NOTHING is safe from these people. They will never stop. While it wasn't much better back in the day, I am quickly becoming convinced when you mix Marxism with post modernism, you get the perniciousness of Marxism, and the utter mind-sickly nihilism of post modernism.
So they use marxist tactics to worm themselves into things that work, and use their post modernist minds, philosophy to destroy it.
You could see them as a more weaselly and cowardly Kefka from final fantasy 6.
They want to as he put it "Create a monument to non existence".
Honestly, I don't know if there is any other way to deal with them than to never allow them any power whatsoever, possibly having them full on committed and imprisoned, or to put them out of their own and everyone else's misery.
I don't say that lightly and I don't enjoy saying it but these people do seem pretty miserable and insane. They don't ever seem to enjoy anything and they only seem to wish to spread their misery around and destroy everything functional. Furthermore they seem to be utterly incapable of being reasoned with.. As if they were some sort of demon or something, or a cancer given a body and a sentient mind.
It's a serious problem and I can't think of one good way to deal with it. Everything seems to either not work,be highly passive and reactionary against them when they break something or be brutal, nasty and heavy handed.
And yeah, I find myself often wondering at a peaceful solution to these people. They fundamentally reject knowledge, ideas, responsibility, and most every cornerstone of modern society. Cancerous parasites in a literal sense. They exploit pretty much every positive trait in people: Empathy for the unfortunate, Charity for the poor, Tolerance of people different than you, compassion for those who are less able than you, and protection of those less able to protect themselves.
The end result of the unholy trinity of marxism, feminism, and postmodernism can only be one of two things: the death of society, or the death of virtue.
Although I already gave up on western entertainment, I'm stil amazed these people won't stop until they get their grubby hands on any franchise that looked fondly upon and trample those entertainment beyond recognition. Last year was Doctor Who and Thundercats, and just a month ago, He-man got a bad re-makeover.
I'm just glad I have little to no attachments to any western entertainment. I used to have nostalgic attachment with Baldur's gate and Knights of the old republic but I saw it coming from mile away it's only a matter of time Bioware and Obsidian will change for the worse once the key figures leave the companies. So I think key message in this thread is leave any lingering attachments to your favourite series that have mainstream appeal. Having any kind of expectation for any remakes (and sequels) seem recipe for more disappointment. Just look what happened to Vampire Bloodline.
It's not nihilism. They get pleasure from destroying the enemy's things.
For a long time they were more subtle about their intentions but now that the cancer has metastasized they are open about it. The left's only standard of artistic expression is how much it mocks, angers, and demoralizes the right.
Quality, craftsmanship, and expertise don't matter, only the attack vector on western (Christian really) civilization.
Should humanity survive the coming collapse I hope one lesson they take from our fall is to immediately and mercilessly purge anyone who has no accomplishments of his own but claims the right to judge or criticize the accomplishments of his betters.
This is also a very great point. Back then at least they were nuanced to the point you could still tolerate it but it's just balls to the wall with no care to the universe or canon story.
Exactly.
I could tolerate their pozzed framework and messaging because at least there was an art to the subtlety
It is nihilism though. These people want to create/have created the last man. Its not destroying the enemies things out of pettiness or because they hate you. Its about destroying the virtues of the ubermensch
Some people seems to miss the point I'm making, so I'm borrowing TheImpossible's comment from another thread.
What is there to look forward to? They ruin fucking everything. Today was very much women's day. OF victory, Canada professing their loyalty to the Fourth Reich and getting to unveil their propaganda to the world.
I switched it off. Nothing good will come of watching more of this infuriating shit. You can see the smug grins on their evil faces as they gleefully tell you about their unwanted input in the franchises they corrupted.
I guess I'll buy more stock, or more Fortnite skins, or more crypto. Just not any of these shit games. Hell, at this point I'm looking at Rocket League in the Microsoft store and wondering if I should reinstall after their women's month propaganda made me quit. At least the propaganda wasn't during fucking gameplay.
Starting to get pretty down about this. I thought the death of OnlyFans was going to show the world turning against the ruling class, even if just to put the banks back at the top.
In reality, I just wanted to share the quote in the OP made by some user a little while ago back in Kotakuinaction thread in the reddit but I just can't make the thread putting this quotes without any contexts. Conveniently there is Saints Row Reboot and Cowboy Bebop news, so I tried to fill in with my anecdotes yet it seems I got misinterpreted or I'm just very fucking bad at explaining shit.
When were you EVER promised anything to look forward to?
I think you haven't suffered enough mundane disappointment in your life, otherwise you wouldn't be so angry because you wouldn't be so invested.
That makes about millions of people that were disappointed in Star Wars, Doctor Who or Mass Effect ending. Or I think it's just you that you got crushed so hard by constant disappointment of Gundam, you expect nihilism out of everybody.
I never played Mass Effect or watched any of aforementioned franchise Star Wars or Dcotor Who, they became long running season of continuous episodes for a fucking reason: To get people invested in the stories. If they didn't want people to invest in the series, they would have run it like how superhero comics get released.
Oh, no.
No no no no no.
What was the best installment of SimCity? 2k.
What was the best version of Civilization? Alpha Centauri.
Best Star Wars? Empire Strikes Back.
Best Star Trek? Movies 2-4.
Best superhero series? Batman the Animated Series.
Best president in my lifetime? Reagan.
Everything is downhill. Y'understand? EVERYTHING is downhill. Everything.
If you go through life being surprised by the next thing to go downhill, you're choosing to be angry. You are literally choosing to feed yourself a stream of things to be angry about instead of living to find things to enjoy, and do, and build, and create.
You aren't wrong there.
Also not wrong.
Thanks, dude. Now I have the SimCity 2000 theme tune stuck in my head.
beep beep bip bip bop, danana naa naa...
I think you suffer from wearing nostalgia goggle way too fucking much where everything old is best shit ever. Now I know why your posts seem insufferable.
And no in my opinion, Star Wars was overrated yes even Empire Strikes Back. Sure best superhero series may have been Batman the Animated Series but not every episodes were great.
You keep missing the point which is that you can approach life from a couple perspectives.
You are choosing to expect that good things are to come, and then you are disappointed and angry when that does not happen.
Why do that to yourself?
In case you missed it.

I don't want a Saints Row 2 remake. I just want some autistic fan to create a mod that ports it to the Saints Row 3 engine.
I never played Saints Row and I want to try it but I did read Saints Row 2 PC port is very bad.
Honestly it's fine but dated. The Saints Row 3 engine fixed a lot of the control and game feel. I think Saints Row 2 was the better game, but 3 is the better engine if that makes sense.
Makes perfect sense. It's like how if we're forced to be objective about it, Dark Souls 2 is the best Dark Souls game, but Dark Souls 1 is still more enjoyable to play. (DS3 is the best Bloodbourne game, but it isn't a Dark Souls game, as an aside to ensure I piss off as many people as possible.)
I played Saints Row 2 on PC without any problems, back in the day.
Hmm, are we sure that's not the case?
What actually happened? I haven't been following except to know the original creator got removed - and that's never a good sign. I first played the game this year, and could easily see how that game could not be faithfully recreated today.
As you said the original writers got removed in favour of twitter activist who didn't have much writing experience. Ultimately the whole game got cancelled to my knowledge.
I haven't even played Watchdogs either. Seriously I haven't played any triple A titles in YEARS. The last triple A title that released in the recent years I played for a good long time was Assassin's Creed Black Flag, that was it and I didn't even pay for it.
Of course the modern left uses marxism, postmodernism and feminism in some unholy amalgam of hate.
They're all based on class warfare. Rich people, influential people, men, you can define them all as classes and there's nothing the Left love mores than tearing down classes.
It doesn't matter that their own philosophy, filled as it is with glee at the visceral enjoyment of destruction, is empty and offers no solutions at all once the destruction stops - the solution of the modern Left is to never stop destroying, until the point is reached when the populace at large can stand these pretentious twats no longer and allows a dictatorship to arise, which, if it has any sense of self-preservation at all, seeks to line all of these useful idiots up against a wall at the first available opportunity.
Look at these class warrior regimes throughout history. The Lefties do have a point that real communism has never been tried, because real communists are so utterly repugnant that people invariably choose dictatorships in preference.
You're only just realizing this now?
How empty does your life have to be that you have expectations about franchises remaining good?
Over in Gundam-world we've been used to spinoffs being shit for well on 30 years. You like the stuff you like, and ignore/shun the stuff you don't.
That's not some staggering revelation.
I think you missed my point of my thread so much and getting aggressive out of nowhere.
Uh, fuckwad, I was just making some casual observation here and I even added this little bit. Yet here you rush to the conclusion and make some assumption that I still have some sort of expectation about franchises. "I used to have nostalgic attachment with Baldur's gate and Knights of the old republic but I saw it coming from mile away it's only a matter of time Bioware and Obsidian will change for the worse once the key figures leave the companies."
At least they don't try to re-imagine the original characters and replace them with mary sue or LGBT characters and make the art style drastically different. That was my point, are you dense?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Oh, that's funny and tragic.
Gundam SEED
Amuro still being a loser in Zeta, and Char going "fuck it, asteroid drop" in CCA
00
Build, Turn A, G-Reco, Mobile Fighter G, IBO, and AGE
Fans of this franchise have seen Tomino gradually go insane, and Sunrise squeeze more bad ideas out than JK Rowling.
THE GOOD STUFF has been outnumbered by the awful for decades.
To reiterate, yes I agree old franchises are gonna get fucked up, the series are older than us both. Of course, there are going to be a lot of fuckup. But it seems that you just have very high standard when it comes to gundam expecting it to capture the original feel of Gundam or Gundam 0083 or be very high quality like Legend of Galactic Heroes, then no shit you'd get disappointed.
When Gundam released all those butchering like you mentioned, at least the creators still wanted to write stories than preaching to their target audiences about goodness of the diversity.
Even the anime franchises that came out after 2000 are not safe like Gantz or Fate series (like getting Apocrypha) but it's really beside the point. The point of my thread was more current politics mangling the old franchise. Maybe I should have just made the thread with just the quotes and adding zero contexts to it if my argument was going to be just boiled down to old franchises gonna get fucked up by their creators.
Right so...
Why do you have low standards?
I don't get torn up about this or that being destroyed, because my assumption is THAT'S THE NORM. I expect it of everything. And because of it, I don't notice or care when something is ruined, or why, because it's my default assumption
I have such a low expectation of the world, that rather than walking around looking for reasons to be disappointed, I walk around looking for reasons to be impressed.
I'm repeating myself but.... I think it's just you that you got crushed so hard by constant disappointment of Gundam, you expect nihilism out of everybody.
When I watch anime, I don't expect it to be highbrow art that will change my life. I watch it to get entertained. FFS don't expect some intricate and intellectual storyline from anime. Or are you one of those pretentious anime connoisseur that treats ghibli and 70's anime as masterpiece and look down on pleb anime like some kind of germs?
If you go through life being surprised by the next thing to go downhill, you're choosing to be angry. You are literally choosing to feed yourself a stream of things to be angry about instead of living to find things to enjoy, and do, and build, and create.
If you want to be in the enlightenment, be my guest but don't shove your views down my throat preaching to me about how I'm choosing to be angry when you came here with passive-aggressive attitude.
