@Integrity_Freak People will portray it as this humorless place full of moralizing scolds without any sense of irony or self awareness. Twitter is home to some of the most hysterical moral panics I've ever seen.

I make videos, play games and complain about capitalism too much.

I'm sure Bluesky is really bad but if you post all day here on r/4chan you should be a little circumspect about criticizing it.
English
@PhilDL616 I can see an argument that Rise of Skywalker is worse just because of how cynical a production it is, but I agree. I get not liking the sequels, but the prequels were BAD movies, and if they can be reclaimed, anything can.
English
@daProSlacker And Phantom Menace is MUCH worse than any of the Disney sequels 😂
English
This is so funny because if anything the prequel trilogy proves that enough time and great supporting material changes discourse around these things.
𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐥𝐟@TheNicholasWolf
The Prequel Trilogy was actually good and has rightfully enjoyed a revival in the public discourse. The Sequel Trilogy will not enjoy a similar revival because it was made by people who actively hated the fandom and what it stood for.

@redrum_panda I don't even really like Ross, I think his jealousy over Mark was overboard and Rachel was right to break up with him, but they were broken up. It's not cheating to have a rebound after getting broken up with.
English
@Rajirugi I feel like people are being willfully obtuse, responding to this as if you aren't talking about plots and characters. Like, sure, games have their own tools within the medium for telling stories, but most of the stories are practically written in crayon
English
The vast majority of story-based games touted as some masterpiece would be at like 13% on Rotten Tomatoes and forgotten immediately after release if it were a film
English
@BossIgnostic @idkijustthibk This always kills me, so many people act like finding someone attractive means you are necessarily going to try and fuck them. It's actually very concerning their mind works that way
English
@idkijustthibk any variant of "people can't control themselves when sexual attraction is involved" is a big red flag
English
I think you can be friends with people you find hot without fucking idk. What is this weird “how dare you find platonic friends hot” nonsense.
Marco@Marcoforbidden
@comradesanchez This gives off straight men and straight women can’t be friends vibes which to me is super weird cuz like why are you sexually attracted to someone you call a friend.
English
@Gryffix Seriously, I don't get why people treat astrology like its a piece of quirky pop science like Meyers Briggs, when it's a psuedoscience closer to phrenology.
English
I don't get this. You can just... Not be into astrology? This isn't any different from quizzing a date about moonlanding conspiracies and writing him off if he's not into it, lmao.
I wish women stopped insisting astrology is something inherently tied to femininity.

this is exactly what she means, babe. if you aren't a fun and cool enough person to have a silly conversation or talk about something that isn't your absolute favorite topic without suddenly talking like a reddit mod who has let his power go to his head, you're a bad date.
English
@Ragnazero000 @pawsitivem3ow Would recommend. Still "online dating" technically, but way better than the Apps that are designed to keep you swiping
English
@pawsitivem3ow Most cities usually have a subreddit for hooking in your specific city/county/state if its large enough. Maybe try your luck there lol
English
@eleveneleven_pm Yeah that's sort of what I mean. People treat dates as disposable, and it just makes the experience worse for everyone.
English
@daProSlacker lol I’ll be honest i don’t take it seriously I just do it for fun but if i was so excited i planned a date date that would be serious
English
if someone canceled a formal date on me to go shopping id probably take myself there too but I wouldn’t be texting them about it bc I don’t think there’d be more communication after that *for me* 🙃
avy@avycadotoast
planned the coolest first date ever but i had to cancel because my mom was insisting i go shopping with her and GUESS WHAT he went with someone else instead ??😭😭😭😭

@weeniestwee @Xanaxretard2 People with whole Bachelor degrees acting like they are 15 and trying to make it everyone else's problem
English
@Xanaxretard2 The adult infantalization really needs to stop
English
deadass heard a 23 yr old saying it was creepy a 26 yr old was hitting on her bc "she's a baby"
English
@suchnerve The argument against it being copaganda seems to be that because it's a show for toddlers it can't be, when if anything that just makes it way more effective and pernicious.
English
@Artisticneed These people were in kink spaces that were full of feminists, and they just associate the two with each other now and want to make it everyone else's problem
English
Idk man, to me tumblr feminism was “girlboss”, “eyeliner sharp enough to kill a man”, “you can be the king but watch the queen conquer”, “never fake an orgasm”, “pads should be free” type things. So all these conversations y’all are having sound very bizarre to me.
English
@ComicsMeta Been reading the original ASM run, and it's pretty clear just fr9m the amount of cross-overs where FF ranked at the time. They were clearly THE big thing in Marvel
English
Mfs will really claim to be Marvel fans and yet won’t read the main characters of the Marvel Universe during the Silver Age
In Spider-Man’s first solo comic he tried to join the FF, and The Avengers were first assembled as the FF’s benchwarmers. The FF is Marvel’s Superman.
English
Gonna try out that new #Fallout Chicago Demo that released today! twitch.tv/professionalsl…
English
@SandyofCthulhu A lot of people get pressed about this because most superheroes are New Deal Democrat types, and a lot of people (Americans especially) think of that as a left wing ideology rather than a moderate right wing ideology. Superheroes are, by their nature, very individualistic
English
All superheroes are right-wing coded, because they are all vigilantes trying to protect their community.
Supervillains, even the neo-nazis, are either lumpenproletarist if they are just out for themselves, or they are left-wing coded, because they have a master plan they want to force everyone to be under.

Spider-Man is an inherently Christian and right-wing concept. Modern Hollywood doesn't get it.

@VHSDVDBLURAY4K What's the source for the quote here? Very interested in reading more.
English
VFX artist Brian Runnels on Zack Snyder’s Cut / Justice League
“I worked on the movie while he was Directing and his "version" was not what he had in the cut. It was boring, lacked humor, his cut was not good: They gave him an out and he took it. Whedons cut was better, Zack's re-cut version was a third version that would've not been what people come to know as the Snyder cut. Hes revising history.”
English
@OoogaOoogaYoink @StevenWallaby What are you talking about?
English
@Demonic_Simian @VashKohime They sort of backhandedly insist that he doesn't understand/agree with the themes, and just likes it for aesthetic reasons. They see him as a well-meaning idiot
English
@VashKohime He wanted to adapt The Fountainhead. You’d think that would tell people what kind of guy he is.
English
Snyder is like Bay where people I normally respect debased themselves on their timelines trying to argue he's Secretly More Left Wing Then You Think because they don't want to admit they like a director who clearly has chud aesthetics
English
@swordnwhorecery @TripleAAAkers7 Had the same realization rereading it recently. A lot of it is about the place horror comics had in the industry and how the CCA completely neutered the medium. Crazy how little of this stuff is in the adaptions.
English
@daProSlacker @TripleAAAkers7 I re-read it recently and honestly Moore’s critique of comic books is such a prominent through line it’s not only hard to ignore, but is probably the main motivation he had behind writing it given the shifts in the industry
English
this film is all sauce and no substance, but also what gives the film sauce is antithetical to what Watchmen should be. it’s like if you tried to make spaghetti but instead of marinara you used chocolate syrup and completely forgot the noodles
TripleAAAtreides 🪱@TripleAAAkers7
who NOW REWATCHES the Watchmen?
