Enjoying the back forth by the way, always fun to test your ideas even though right now I feel a bit under siege

Oh? Do you think that the views expressed on the forum reflect the views of the American people, which make up the largest chunk of membership? Do you think the views reflect the typical views of the populations of the wider global community from which we have members? Not at all. What webDip reflects more than anything else is CNN, with a handful of invited guests to give the illusion that a mix of views is represented.
Confirmed - female superhero movies are unpopular because they suck.Xerxes Worldweaver wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 1:20 pmIf the debate is still going on, could someone summarize it for me? (Or indeed, perhaps you'd like to summarize it for your own sakes, if what we are pursuing here is mutual understanding.)
This is a weird comment. CNN's ratings are terrible and are getting worse:Octavious wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 1:22 pmOh?

If you want a greater mix of views in this forum, I may be able to be of some assistance... provided that I don't get myself banned for my extreme (though hopefully civil) political incorrectness. Perhaps I'll demonstrate what I mean by that in giving my own three cents in answer to the original topic of this discussion.Octavious wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 1:22 pmOh?

Hopefully you'll agree with me that this story which I've summarized is rather boring. If you're not quite convinced, imagine that it took me an hour and a half to tell it to you, and perhaps you will be. This generic FSM is good at conveying one thing and one thing only, and that is feminism.Fictitious movie reviewer wrote:Mary Heroine was always bullied in school by straight white men and oppressed by her totalitarian government. Then she got struck by lightning and gained superpowers! Joining the Resistance, an organization headed by a sage old woman who cusses a lot, Mary soon becomes an important figure for her insanely adept use of her powers. Everyone begins doing everything that Mary Heroine says they should do, or if they don't, really bad stuff happens because of it. Mary Heroine is never wrong about anything. Eventually she comes face to face with the villain, another straight white man who has trained for 10,000 years and mastered every type of combat. He says something like 'A woman's place is in the kitchen, go make me a sandwich, Mary,' and Mary shouts in response 'I'll make you a sandwich, alright!' and suffocates him to death with two slices of bread, thus proving the superiority of women over the patriarchy. She then falls in love with a hot [insert diverse race of your choice here] guy, sleeps with him but doesn't marry him, becomes the queen of the universe, and lives happily ever after.
Mary Heroine is never presented with an obstacle which she can't overcome by blasting it harder with her superpower juice, Mary Heroine is never seriously forced to question the morality of her actions, Mary Heroine never treats anyone with any respect at all (especially not her lover), Mary Heroine never has to actually sacrifice anything of her own for the greater good, Mary Heroine never gets beaten by a man that she doesn't get back at in the end.
Of course, chap. Everything that you claim you never actually claim.
True, he was not particularly extreme compared to the other two. But some of his posts, like his massive post detailing how he would use his Marines training to murder a fellow Forum user, you have to admit were somewhat extreme.
There's so much to comment on here and on so many other posts here, but I just have to quickly ask, why is diversity for diversity's sake a bad thing?Xerxes Worldweaver wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 9:26 pmI hear more often that the actors are terrible or that the script is terrible or, such as with the new Little Mermaid, that the producers are pushing diversity solely for diversity's sake. All three of those faults are, in their own way, the faults of story.
There's something rather refreshing about seeing a reactionary remove the pretense and speak honestly about their ACTUAL thoughts. But I do have to wonder why they always pretend their beliefs are simultaneously something everyone believes and also are extreme unknown thoughts.Xerxes Worldweaver wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 9:26 pm
A world of lies... that's what feminism is. A complete refutation of it and a proper defence of the patriarchy is beyond the scope of this post (though it shall be given if requested), but suffice it to say that it is a complete and utter lie that women as a whole were meant to be anything other than wives and mothers. Women were not meant to be soldiers - they are those whom soldiers fight to protect. Their lives are too valuable to be wasted on the battlefield. When we are shown in FSMs that a woman can beat the crap out of a man, we know it's a lie. Whenever a woman orders a man about, we know something's off.
This paragraph is very confusing. You start by saying that very few men can admit that they are wrong, and then you immediately leap into an attack on "feminists". How do these two elements relate to each other? Are you assuming that most feminists are men? If not, are you accepting that most men make the same mistake that you are attributing to "feminists"? You're very bad at explaining yourself.Xerxes Worldweaver wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 9:26 pm
Few men in the modern world can bear to admit that they hold erroneous opinions. Acknowledging one's failings is a mark of maturity. Feminists rarely possess such maturity, and the movies they make reflect their lack of maturity. That lack of maturity is what makes their movies boring. They don't want to grow up, because to grow up means that they were somehow imperfect, and their imperfections cannot be admitted. Better to live in a world of lies than to admit the truth.
Oh my goodness. You've been masturbating to a lot of Jordan Peterson content, haven't you, you horrible little incenl shit?Xerxes Worldweaver wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 9:26 pmA world of lies... that's what feminism is.
