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.
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.
Thanks, dude. Now I have the SimCity 2000 theme tune stuck in my head.
