Because those writers are lazy idiots who jumped on the idea that the mutant origin was created to represent minorities.
True, but its also been the vast majority of the stories written for a very long time. The Xmen is the property for Woke, because literally any thing you want to shove in has precedent and history of already being there.
One of those reasons is what you listed, its filled with every flavor of insufferable Female Characters who girlboss around and never change or improve in the slightest, but since they have been that way for decades its just accepted as part of their character.
It was originally just a meme phrase to describe the people coming to the Right with the pendulum swinging back and trying to "hello fellow kids" Woke ass beliefs with Right wing language.
Such as "women should never be attractive or slutty in media, but because porn bad and trad wives amirite?!" takes. Which is literally indistinguishable from Woke results, and they are just hiding it behind new messaging. Same with a lot of the H1B controversy around Christmas, which was a lot of open borders nonsense but wrapped in Right-wing ideas like meritocracy and "the left are the real racists."
This was getting way too successful, so literally in the middle of Vivek and Elon getting destroyed and roasted for thier bullshit, the term "suddenly" caught on with the Mainstream in hilariously empty ways that everyone immediately saw through (almost too easily) and now its become a useless term that denotes nothing but being an idiot.
In fact, I'd say the trope of a deadbeat dad who abandons his family is more of a white man thing.
The most prominent form of it in my experience (maybe data says otherwise) is black dad/white mom. Where he stays to try and milk all the free shit from everyone rushing to support the mother (a white thing), and then bails once it gets hard and he has to do things beyond show up (a few years in).
White guys have a harder time straight abandoning a family because the government wants their cut and will get that child support, so he isn't as able to just "disappear" fully. Whereas if they put the work in for that with black fathers, it would require a new jail in every town to fill with non-payers.
Black on black breeding is usually as you say, too slutty to confidently name one, so its often just the favorite boyfriend that gets named until he dips for a plethora of reasons.
I mean, you can see how hard people even here are trying super hard to make "Woke Right" a made up term being used to manipulate us, instead of something we all fucking knew what it meant before the "mainstream" started spamming it.
Almost like we were hitting too close to home and they had to take that bit of noticing away from us, and people took the bait.
Lindsay is Their Guy, so Lindsay is always correct, even when he's clearly being a jackass.
I think too many people on "The Right" have been on the outcast and underground for so long that they reflexively flock to any "authority" figure that tells them what they want to hear, and then form little cults around it that quickly lose any semblance of the principle they once held so dear. To the point that their King cannot actually be wrong on anything, ever, and they will flip everything to make him somehow right.
Its why somehow Fuentes still has a following, or Milo did back in the day. Heck you see plenty of it with Trump, where we have a lot of people who are too MAGA to think that he isn't perfect.
Its a human problem, its the classic Fundamental Attribution Error kicked up, so its not a Right-only thing. But that aforementioned "underground" issue I think makes guys on the Right more prone to falling into it, whereas the Left is more willing to just cancel, destroy and discard their guys for one bad take (if their handlers upload the NPC response to do so).
The fact the showrunner said he based it off his own experiences as a gay man
I mean, Xmen has basically been "my minority/diversity metaphor" for decades. Near every writer always turns it into their specific version and says the mutant conflict is totally analogous with their group's.
It succeeds every time in spite of this, due to strength of certain characters and the broad metaphor being wide enough that we can all slot into it, but literally every version of Xmen forever you can probably pin down "mutants are Jews (the easy one), mutants are niggers, mutants are women, etc." as the throughline.
It was leagues above the original live action, by simple virtue of being able to recognize certain lines and scenes showing there was an adaptation being made.
But it was still infested with modern day nonsense and "why make this" idiocy, so its well below anyone caring to watch it.
I was with a kid in third grade who pretended he brought a knife to school to look cool, and was expelled the next day and was never seen in the area again because of it. Clearly a chubby 9 year old mutt kid fake bragging is much much worse optics and danger than an actual giant negro who has already killed someone.
But this is also one of those situations where "the powers that be" have already spit in your face, and the community itself must take the action. Refuse your own tainted diploma, make the entire ceremony a laughing stock of mocking Anthony and the school, and do everything possible to make every school member suffer.
Its easy for me to say, of course, but this is a major event they will have to look back on their entire life. They will either remember a time they cucked in front of the entire nation watching, or at least be able to say they tried to do something to stand up for themselves.
There was a thing a few months ago where a black girl was suing her local school for graduating her despite her inability to read.
Thanks to things like No Child Left Behind, schools are heavily motivated monetarily to fake and pump up test scores so no kids ever fail. Especially the black ones.
quite a few athletes are shit people, but it's about athleticism, not being a great person
There only exists two possibilities.
We judge ranks and hall of fames as "inspirational heroes" and make constant moral judgements about who gets in, which comes at the expense of any talk about how good they are being useless because you never know how many got cut for being assholes.
The other is we just keep it objective and simple. Whatever metric the ranking uses is sufficient and the only disqualifiers are things that are blatantly against the rules of the time, and if rules change (like with roids) then you make a second list with/without or asterisk it. This gives you always the best, but you have to acknowledge shitty people instead of unpersoning them like our society prefers to do.
I can see an argument for the first option. That's one that is important to teach and sell to kids, because sports stars do have tremendous pull with them across the nation. But that's also a dangerous subjective road that you need extremely trustable authorities to decide.
While option two means a lot of awkward conversations and explanations, but gives us the raw data we care about it.
because anonymous users - probably the fucking journos themselves - posted insane shit for screenshots
Reminder to everyone that good ol' Anita Sarkeesian, probably the reason why journos were set and ready to start GG when ZQ's shit dropped, was almost certainly confirmed to have sent the famous "death threats" that started her career to herself.
Or that one journo early on that admitted to saving and uploading CP to try and get 8chan(?) shut down.
We're basically ephemeral gamertags. What we say is noise.
Almost everyone online could log off right now, and by next month not even be noticed that they left. The rare few might reach Imp level where people remember them for the memes. But otherwise its all nonsense that shouldn't be taken seriously.
But instead people invented shit like upvotes and people take text on a screen super fucking seriously.
Yeah basically.
Like, regular ass OCD can have the symptom of the "intrusive thought" being pedophile themed. Because OCD only works by making you think something awful that you banish with the compulsion. So you wake up and think "I'm a child molester," panic, and locking the door 19 times somehow means you aren't.
The people talking about POCD are trying to make it sound like "I have pedophile intrusive thoughts and/or compulsions" to make them sound not evil, when that isn't how OCD works at all. Its just random non-maladaptive intrusive thoughts (we all have them) and then conditioned actions. As in, they've beat off to pedo shit so many times they feel compelled to do so every time.
Even if you buy their shit about it being OCD, the literal worst thing you can do for OCD is play into it and feed the conditioning by "letting it win." As in, if they really did have something like it, then they more than anyone else should be banned from any form of porn that might be questionable or interacting with children unsupervised.
I don't believe that the guy she is responding to is real. Even most "radicals" don't say things that on the nose and direct. They all have their memes and slogans and specific beliefs, not generic "revenge."
This instead reads like what a pathetic woman thinks a radical talks like. With all the autistic cadence and specific scary words.
Also, white women were never conservative or right wing. The ones that were, were doing it for "pick me" points by trying to be not like other girls on a political scale. This very comment alone is why they cannot be.
Because the moment you go towards anything above the bare minimum, they reveal that they have no balls or principles and only care about social consensus and being "kind."
While that is bad from a history learning standpoint, even mentioning some of the event is massively more than most things get.
If Canada didn't constantly bring it up to pathetically brag, I doubt 80% of America would know there was a war in 1812 and that number who know is still low.
pocd
Like so many things, Lefties and degenerates take something legitimate and blow it wide open to abuse and ruin.
Because "I might be a pedo" is one of the most common OCD intrusive thoughts, because the very idea of being one is so terrifying to most people it disrupts their entire brain. So of course these terminally online people adopt the idea of it to act like they are poor wittle victims of mental illness instead of porn addicted pedophiles.
Literally anyone alive in the late 80s and 90s knew it was a thing. Every single cast of more than 2 people had a woman or a black, and as it grew you gained a relative amount more of women, colored, and some combo of both. Every single kids show followed something like "white male, white girl, black, latino, other (wild card could be more white or not)."
The difference was, most people were still of the belief that this was improvement. That it was being done sincerely instead of maliciously. So it wasn't enough to piss people off or get the noticing to be resistant.
Of course those pushing it from the shadows and the academics were absolutely doing so with a nefarious agenda, but they were boiling slow enough that a lot of people were moving towards "don't see color." Its why they had to push gangsta rap and Rodney King to such heights, to make sure the blacks didn't fall for it after guys like Cosby and Uncle Phil were helping blacks improve.
Its been a while for me, but the Revolutionary War did get considerable coverage.
Arguably one of the only American History moments taught as just history instead of being chosen deliberately for its political purpose.
when I'm genuinely trying to teach someone a subject I come off much less opinionated than I do here
For what its worth, I still do take your considerable knowledge base into consideration and allow myself to learn from it. I don't often think you are lying, only that your conclusions from the info are disagreeable.
In fairness, he did not defensively invade Ukraine.
Its an opinion I had long before Ukraine. I was anti-Europe, buddingly pro-Putin all the way back during the Obama years. I never got a solid answer as to why I should reflexively resist Russia on things, only that I was supposed to.
Ukraine is at least something on that front, so even if I don't support the Ukies much it is a reason I can see being anti-Russia/Putin on.
Even if the stated reasons and the people saying it are usually very retarded.
Fun aside, the term redneck actually pre-dates hillbilly, near as I can tell.
Despite the Yankees and Media trying to use all these terms as meaning the same thing they do all have wildly different meanings.
Redneck, and white trash, are the only ones with general enough meanings that they are usually accurate subjectively, but they will happily throw in shit like hillbilly about someone from a fucking swamp.
Rednecks was/is a term for hardworking laborers/ farmers, color me shocked socialists hate that
Unfortunately, I think that's a generation or more out of use. They have successfully converted it to mean "low IQ, low income whites" and use it interchangeably with Southerner (leading to people talking about being Southerners in Minnesota to refer to be white trash).
So they are saying "these guys look like retarded inbred losers!" in what is considered acceptable terms for the Leftie discourse.
Which considering how normal these guys all look, says more about what they think of Whites as a whole.
That's fine for an entertainer, someone meant to be enjoyed.
Its a bit different when its the leader of a movement. Someone with legions trying to live up to and follow their example. The bar there, I think we can agree, should be a bit fucking higher.
But then again, we can usually agree to discard anyone for being retarded and anti-helpful. Except Fuentes, who someone always has a helpful excuse for to not hold him to task for the things he does over and over, including actively setting us back on everything we are supposed to care about.
I guess this time its because he is just a silly goose we should enjoy the funny antics of.
