"Queerness means failing in life" explains a lot

The rules are very simple and rigidly enforced. Rejecting the rules results in harsh punishments, while mastering them is rewarded.
It's impossible to make a progressive reading of the games without sounding retarded, since the progressive narrative of history is that the world is always advancing towards utopia. Dark Souls is the antithesis of that, where the world is constantly degenerating and occasionally great men arise that hold back the tide of entropy to temporarily allow the emergence of civilization. It is a futile effort in the long run and the hero knows this, but that doesn't deter them from the never ending struggle for life.
fuck, I gotta hook my ps3 back up now. got a copy of the og dark souls i never got around to trying a few months back. (played demon souls a bit, but add'ed onto something else later...)
I think you're reading too much into it. I think it's just "I suck at this game known for being difficult, and that means I'm a good queer". In other words, CCCCCOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPEEEEEE. Being queer is an achievement to these people.
Who designed the system of human sexual dimorphism? Who designed the system of human reproduction? Who designed the system of capitalism?
They always use this passive voice bullshit. They can’t explain who is actually oppressing them. The truth is: no one is oppressing them. The “systems” they hate were not created by anyone. They are just organic evolved solutions to our inherent problems and challenges.
That really stuck out to me, too.
Once again, the marxist's biggest enemy is reality itself.
I’m not the biggest Jordan Peterson fan, but he was dead on when he said that these people are resentful of reality, and that this amounts to anger at their own existence. They don’t fit in, their feelings don’t align with our evolved Darwinian reality, so they seek to tear it all down as an act of revenge.
There is also an element of narcissism here. A lot of people don’t fit in, but not all of them settle on “total transformation of society” as a solution to this personal problem.
I’ll go one further and say that social media is a huge factor. Giving every freak, degenerate, and criminal the ability to network and organize with their fellow travelers all over the world has been a massive force multiplier for radical leftists. Twitter dominates our discourse, and the vast majority of people do not use it.
this weirdly aligns with a conclusion I've come to recently as well; the left doesn't understand anything. In fact, they seem aggressively opposed to understanding.
Any fact, any concept which is plain to see, they flat out reject for some gobble-dee-gook nonsense, winding themselves up in esoteric nonsense to prove you wrong.
2+2=5 was the perfect example of this. rather than actually understanding the point of the meme, they literally spent months trying to prove that 2+2=5 could, in fact equal five if you tortured the math hard enough...
They are. Reality is normative and oppressive, and must be deconstructed. Their dogma is all that matters. It disagrees with reality, so rejecting reality is a virtue that must be aggressively pursued. Embracing reality at the expense of dogma is an unforgivable sin.
sad, really...
hell, I know the q guys can get kooky sometimes, but even they're not that far out...(and they do good news aggregation, too!)
The whole point of progressive politics is just that; progress. You look at society, you identify problems, and you propose improvements. Anger at reality is innately part of the deal.
The problem comes when a progressive fails to take into account whether that problem is something that actually can be fixed, or whether their proposed solution will negative impacts elsewhere.
When it comes to inequality, their giant blindspot is of course a refusal to see that people literally aren't equal.
"Progress" toward what? Progressivism is the intentionally vague self-label of Utopianists. The entire notion is a pleasant sounding and entirely stupid dream. Everything is justified behind the idea of "future more good" while deliberately not defining 'good' and packaging every policy in a veneer of emotional reasoning and blind positivity.
The inescapable consequence of this is a derision of "standards" and unwillingness to measure their own progress by examining the real impact of the policies they've enacted. It never matters that they dreamed up and executed the most hellish programs with the most destructive outcomes imaginable (rivaling anything you could have invented that was intended to be that damaging). It never matters because they "meant well" at the time.
If only. Most of them skipped over the 'identify problems' step and decided to fabricate problems instead.
Implicitly admitting not only a creator, but that the queers stand for failing and opposition of HIm.
Talk about an own-goal!
By a secret cabal of straight white men, one would assume.

He's a self declared Marxist too, but of course he is.
It's like listening to those black people who blame the white man for making STEM complicated to keep them out.
I love it, though.
Queerness is failure. I couldn't have said it better myself.
What kind of backwards ass conclusion is this.
Also...the point of Dark Souls isn't to fail...it's to eventually succeed. So in this case I guess eventually turn straight? If anything, by their own analogy, Dark Souls is homophobic lol.
Every From Software game is like this, even Armored Core.
The game slowly gets easier the more you fail. If you persevere long enough, it almost doesn't matter how bad at the game you are, you will eventually be powerful enough to win.
I don't understand... is he making fun of queers for thinking such stupid shit or is he claiming that this stupid shit is an empowering ideology? What fucking world is this?
“… with a child.”
Looks like somebody leveled dex.
make queer an insult again
no one has ever won against madame reality at the game of life.
cope.
First of all, gitgud fgt.
Secondly, the only thing "queer" here is that you probably run a dex build.
