It doesn't feel like they're fully over yet

That's the desired outcome.

No OP. It's not like that at all everywhere.

Go to a outskirt village near a small town in UK and you'll find that most people are too bussy with their own stuff to go after each other.

It's just your prison colony being a prison colony.

Everything you just said sounds like a background lore to universal century.

Your tolerance is weaponized against you.

Here's how it goes:

  1. Company fucks up or doesn't uphold it's promise.
  2. Consumers get rightfully pissed and make some noise.
  3. Company pushes the emergency gay button

The Company has setup a win/win situation.

  • If consumers will rail on the company for their fuck ups/broken promises then the company keeps screaming "bigots!" as a distraction until their fuck ups and broken promises fade from living memory.

  • If consumers bite their tongue to avoid the accusation then the company keeps screaming "gay!" as a distraction until their fuck ups and broken promise fade from living memory.

Repeat the cycle ad nauseum.

The reason you notice it is because the practice has became widely adopted and it has become standard procedure whenever a company gets into hot water.

Think it's entirely a coincidence they started screaming gay when consumers are rightfully pissed off after blizz broke the promise of delivering Hero Mode in Overwatch 2?

No. It's not a coincidence.

Godzilla is all over the place.

First it was a serious tone metaphor about nuclear weaponry. Then it was a children's super hero. And now it mostly stays as a force of nature, not really out to get humanity, just feeding on its nuclear facilities.

Only time ever Godzilla was definitely evil was in GMK when it was an amalgamation of souls of those who died in Pacific War that had a grudge against Japan for not being browbeaten like Germany.

UK here. What exactly you expect me to do? Swim to the other side of the pond and pick up a gun?

That comes across to me as a low-key insult where someone claps when spelling each syllable like they are explaining something to a child through a song.

I've seen exactly that in FFXIV.

Hanging out in Limsa and inspecting Adventure plates and I found someone who went out of their way to point that out.

In a game where you can be exactly what you want, someone chooses not to be what they want.

Is it though? I think of it like flexing in the gym.

Everything she said can be applied to shounen male MC:

  • All of them are cut from the same cloth, usually a highschool unlikable kid who gets bullied until he gets a mcguffin and gains protagonist powers.
  • All subservient to their mentors (nude even being a punchline in a beach episode).
  • Even when they display competency they must be quickly foiled by defeat at the hands of a powerful new arc villain.
  • The sexualization (by shipping fujoshits) and objectification of their appearance plays into their role as action figure.

This isn't frowned upon by people who can tell fiction from reality.

How twitter trending works? It works as admins and mods want it to work. We had a cursed screenshot of how does a twitter admin panel looks like and it literally has a big ass button called "trend blacklist".

Kind of reminds me of what Michael Pachter once said about ads in one of his videos.

Eventually we will reach a point where videos will simply not play until a set amount of seconds will elapse and adblockers will result in users simply stare at a blackscreen for set amount of seconds.

At this point it's a war of resources.

It's amazing that Null and his supporters are willing to part with as much money as needed to keep building up their own infrastructure.

More simple than that. They simply have too much money to appreciate material value unlike those who do not have it.

It's like Bikecuck comic or some san fran dude who got his car mugged a dozen time that have been mentioned here.

Running away and constantly rebuilding will never be a permanent solution if the opposite side is constantly on the hunt.

If observed reality is not enough of a warning then you're not dealing with a thinking man, you're dealing with a demoralized emasculated eunuch.

Slow down there buddy.

Ancient christians didn't predict shit. They simply observed basic human nature. They observed that humans who are dunk on comfort are lulled into compliance and those who are not are in charge. They put 2 and 2 together and made an accurate guess that if one day there would be means to enact that on a global scale then there would be essentially 1 ruling class and the rest would be lulled servants.

Ofcourse instead of saying it plainly they dressed it up with big sounding words to make themselves look bigger than they really are.
