  1. how can atone ;_; Is that your real result? holy shit Link me that quiz I want to see where I fall right now
  2. Are you guys actual commies or are you just being ironic because if it's the former that would explain a whole lot
  3. That's honestly why I'm considering leaving, I flat out don't fit in with you guys and it gets more obvious every day. Feels more and more like there's just no room for me here.
  4. They're usually on the cutting edge of tech though, I think they were one of the first industries to start shooting in 4k
  5. on a scale of 1 to 10 how much do you want me to leave this forum
  6. Okay let me clear something up. I am in no way contrarian for the sake of it. When I said some of my posts are exagerrated, that isn't the same as fabricating my own views for the sake of being argumentative. The points I exaggerate and my underlying views are genuine. Just wanted to clarify.
  7. Seize the means of production Collectivize industry and agriculture Ban religion Destroy the family unit Send dissenters to the gulags Print your flag on t-shirts and sell them to college students
  8. Fill in a coloring book Watch the new Barney & Friends Suck on a pacifier Retreat to your happy place
  9. I'd respond but honestly I'm so fucking outnumbered here every time I post my opinions it's this massive ordeal. My point is I'm not changing, I'm not apologizing for having different opinions, and I think disrupting echo chambers is extremely important, which is a large part of why I am so argumentative.
  10. I'm not being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian, but I do not think these issues are black and white, shut and closed cases where everyone who takes the opposing view is an evil racist sexist bigoted misogynist shitlord. I fucking hate that kind of moral grandstanding more than anything on this fucking planet, and the more I see people do it about a particular issue the more I find the politically incorrect view has merit after investigating it for myself. While a lot of my posts may be exagerrated, the core message behind them is usually something I'm truly considering. My positions on things are genuine, though usually undeveloped since I don't honestly care about most of these issues to take a hard stance. I'm not just going to blindly tow the line like a braindead zombie though droning on about how horrible sexism is; everyone fucking knows it, congratu-fucking-lations, you have said absolutely fucking nothing. None of those kinds of arguments contain anything of substance because they're just parroting the consensus. At least when I take an opposite stance people often start posting sources or going deeper in their arguments to actually make the discussions somewhat informative and worthwhile. I would much rather be hated for taking the morally wrong stance on an issue than be liked for falling in line with everyone else. “Men do what is called a good action, as some piece of courage or charity, much as they would pay a fine in expiation of daily non-appearance on parade. Their works are done as an apology or extenuation of their living in the world. I do not wish to expiate, but to live. My life is not an apology, but a life.”
  11. Seriously though I really hate seeing the same tired talking points and arguments repeated over and over again all over the internet and in mainstream culture about social issues. We get it, sexism is bad, racism is bad, isms in general are bad. People aren't better people for taking such obvious fucking braindead positions on things that they likely haven't thought about for more than two seconds and give about as much insight as a 14 year old girl's twitter account. "Guys did you know that bad thing is happening and it's bad?" "Holy shit I know right I can't believe bad thing is so bad!" "Good thing we're good enough to be good in the face of all this bad!" "We're such good people!" "Fuck bad people and bad things!" "Kill all bad men!" I just get so sick of hearing it all the time, it's fucking everywhere and most of why I post such blunt and controversial shit is because I get some sick sense of satisfaction out of disrupting that kind of thing.
  12. If it makes you feel any better a good 50% of my posts are exagerrated for the sake of playing devil's advocate and I don't feel nearly as strongly about most issues as it probably seems.
  13. Not if they believe enough, if they're willing to put in enough work. The hundreds of women who have been successful in the manga/anime industry prove that it is indeed possible, and they weren't handed it on a silver platter. Yes they may have needed to work harder than men to be as successful (which I would sooner attribute to a lack of interest in manga in women making it harder for them to make a living at female-targeted manga than I would sexism), but they overcame those odds, and I'm sure things are much easier for women now than they were when they were building their careers. I agree the playing field should be even, but women clearly can become successful in the industry and while things may not be perfect and still need a lot of evening out, I also think they're far from the patriarchal dystopia many paint it as.
  14. If cultural factors and social stigma are enough to stop you from pursuing your dreams, you don't want it bad enough. If you want to make some change you're going to have to work for it. "Be the change you want to see" and all that. So they get bullied by ignorant assholes, so fucking what? There is nothing legally or physically stopping them from pursuing their aspirations. Grow a thicker skin and either fight for your dreams or give in and don't, but don't say they're being stopped from doing it when there's been hundreds of successful female mangaka making manga and anime for women since there's been manga and anime. If they can do it so can anyone else.
  15. I don't see why, considering it's true, and there's a sizeable amount of anime made by and for women as well. If women want to have more of a presence in the anime industry, they should buy more anime and more of them should become animators. Literally nothing is stopping them.
  16. Anime is predominantly made by and for men and there's nothing wrong with that whatsoever. Just like video games.
  17. Oh yeah, I forgot the XBO is backwards compatible. That changes everything!
  18. I could get him both but I was set on getting him the first Tomb Raider reboot since the Rise of the Tomb Raider came with his Xbone and he loved it, so I was going to get him that and either Doom or Wolfenstein. Was originally going to get him the Mass Effect trilogy since he loves Fallout 4 because of the sci-fi and exploration elements, then I realized it isn't on Xbone. ;_;
  19. Guys which should I get my dad for Christmas, Wolfenstein: The New Order or Doom? He played both of the originals back in the day and I think he'd like seeing what they're like in 2016, but I don't know which one is better.
