EtcetEraThread Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness |OT| No, more mutants. (SPOILERS)
Reason User Banned (1 Month): Dismissive of Representation Concerns
Let's be real, the SJWs will over analyze everything about it even though it's just A MOVIE BASED OFF COMIC BOOKS! I think the obliteration aspect of this movie made me love it because comics are brutal and gritty, it held no punches. The Illuminati getting killed pissed me off but it showed how ruthless Wanda is. It reminded me of how Sylar killed his enemies in Heroes. Back to the SJWs, it's why I find myself ignoring a lot of journalists and threads here because I like to escape reality when watching a movie instead of worrying about the hidden "isms" represented. Even my wife who is a minister, she liked the movie but she didn't care too much for the revelation themes. For my comic book nerd sake, she let me enjoy it. One thing I forgot to mention, they need to lock Benedict down for the next 20 years. He's perfect and has become a big part to the team and fandom.

You just know what he's going to do to you when he gets his hands on you at home. He's going to pump you full of his thick love cream. Of course I gotta post this classic: Now imagine instead of him stepping on that monster, he is holding you down while he strips? He can easily dominate you with his powerful legs.

EtcetEraThread Mark Rober launches an attack on scam call centers in India.
Reason User Banned (5 Days): Justifying scam calls, whataboutism
Americans and Europeans still benefit from the legacy of their colonialist past and their current imperialism. Americans put our people in Human Zoos and blamed us for being savages. Americans are afraid of losing their abortion rights whereas we don't even have abortion rights coz Europeans forced their conservative beliefs on us when they performed their cultural genocide. Maybe we wouldn't have as much third World Scammers Exploiting people in first world countries, or we wouldn't have as much third world gold diggers hunting for privileged foreigners if our countries weren't as poor. (And first world countries still Exploit our poorness when they export their work to us while paying us scrap, this include call centers). Still though fuck scammers. There's a lot in my country, I receive so many scam texts. They don't pick victims too.

That's a pretty dumb thing to do. Yes those people are working for a scam operation but they're largely just office workers trying to make a living in a part of the world where a stable job is not necessarily easy to come by, so one may resort to working for organizations of ill repute like these. The people deserving of retribution are the ones at the top running those operations.

GamingThread "Women are the exception, men are the norm" is still depressingly common in gaming.
Reason User Banned (Duration pending admin review): Rationalising sexism and misogyny; prior severe ban for rationalising xenophobia.
Honestly, I think you're just looking at a logical consequence of the premises and settings people choose and going "this is actively bad." Like, no duh that any shooter set before the turn of the century/year 2000 is 99.999% likely to star a guy. Aside from weird outliers like the Soviet Union during WW2, most militaries sent guys into combat because they were more expendable and had biological features that made them a better fit for combat. In a fantasy/scifi setting, where there's plenty of leeway to get around that, then yeah, there's no reason besides artistic decisions and not wanting to deal with any Tomb Raider 2013 allegations of fetishizing the death animations or something. Let's taking car racing games for example. I know anything about racing, in general. I know of female racer in real life from the last 20 years - Danica Patrick, and that's mostly because she was the female racer in NASCAR. Now, granted, there might have been a lot of misogyny or whatever blocking the way for female racers, but what I also know is NASCAR is a sport where violent wrecks happen and . So from what I can tell, female participation is low because it's a high risk sport. I was watching MMA last night, and there was female match out of four preliminary matches. MMA is a high risk sport where gruesome injuries can occur. The announcers also complained that there was a smaller pool of female fighters, and that good matchups weren't happening because of weight brackets. From what I can tell, most AAA games base their core gameplay conceits/premises on high risk activities (combat, crime, racing, etc...) that women would not be majority participants in anyway, which leads to men being the norm. They also don't produce enough fantasy/scifi stuff anymore that provides enough opportunity to sidestep that for leading characters, so you have to go to indie games, which also have broader premises, settings, and gameplay conceits (in some regards). Also, AAA has dumb marketing people who arguably don't know how to make a female lead look cool/interesting (at least on a consistent basis - it varies from studio to studio), and probably don't do proper research into why past games with female leads didn't sell.

GamingThread Kotaku: Halo Infinite Devs Acknowledge Botched Season 2 Rollout, Are ‘Reviewing Options’
Reason User warned: trolling
I don't think people understand just how frustrating this truly is. My experience last night ... my friend wasn't available until 9:30pm so I logged in and played a little bit starting around 8pm. - Played LSS and ended up winning three matches and clearing out the event. But like why the FUCK did I have to keep playing this mode? I don't get it. I don't fucking get it. What in the absolute fuck is 343 thinking? - Friend logged on and we did Quick Play. I had two simultaneous challenges for Quick Play (5000 score and 7500 score) and as they unlocked every match, I'm just screaming into my headset at my friend. "I JUST WANT TO FUCKING PLAY FIESTA!" He eventually conceded and was pleased as he had one challenge in Fiesta. I distinctly remember grapple hooking into the air and getting a rocket launcher double kill thinking "fuck this shit". - Played some KOTH, which at that point was fucking pointless because I had no challenges relating to it. One the games was tied 2-2 and we took the hill back when they were a sliver away from winning. We held it down and barely won by the smallest of margins. It was extremely intense and super fun ... but fuck that shit. 50xp at the end of the match due to how many matches I've played. Fuck off. Why even bother playing? But my friend wanted to play more, so we did one last match and it was very similar to the last one. Super tense, tons of action, ton of trading kills between both teams, and my buddy and I were yell-laughing at the end due to the chaos and coming out as winners. Was absolutely awesome. But 50xp again! GAH FUCK! So here I am with the LSS tiers completed, I'm level 11% done with the Battle Pass, and I've only got until six months to complete the rest. These oppressive challenges are going to be the end of me. I think I'm finally going to break down and just buy like 100 challenge skips in the shop so I don't have to be frustrated anymore.

EtcetEraThread What is (and is not) Anti-Fascism [feature length video essay by Renegade Cut]
Reason User warned: inflammatory comparisons
Watched it when it was uploaded but bumping your thread for visibility. It's Leon's (The Author) best video yet and has a hilarious Vic Bergerian bit around the end that everyone should watch. And a little tl;dw for people on the fence for the lenght of the video would be that Anti-fascism doesn't exists in a bubble, it's action against fascism, because fascism is so pervasive that even your grandma could be a fsacist or could be buying into fascist propaganda, and anti-anti-fascism is fascist propaganda on itself. The second half touches on the rise of fascism in the last century and how pretty much history is repeating itself, capitalism will flock to fascism to control workers revolting/unionizing/gaining power. If you cut a liberal a fascist bleeds.
