The country that still maintains a rigid caste system sure does love throwing out the racism allegations every chance they get...

So racism should get ignored?

I think the biggest group of people that are upset by this are progressive Anglo Australians, all my Indian friends have a sense of humour.

Will we ever get past people thinking their own friend circle is the litmus test for racism?

They also have a shocking record on hate towards Muslims.

Whataboutism.

Pointing out hypocrisy is whataboutism? Ok chief

Dude your people genocided millions of innocents and live and feed out of there land, yet you critique another people who are actually fighting against the discrimination, frick off.

Did you just assume I'm of English descent? 'Your people'. Lol, you can frick off champ

Doesn't matter, you love and feed off the land, take your double standards up somewhere they actually belong.

I had absolutely zero choice in the location where I was born. What would you have me do almighty righteous person? Are you not living in Australia currently?

Hey r-slur this thread literally began with whataboutism.

Where's your culture? What, Aussie banter only punches down or something?

Bros clearly never tried fairy bread.

Or seen a Christmas tree.

Punches down? Do you think Indians are beneath Australians?

do you think white australians are discriminated against to the same level as our South Asian brothers in Australia? 👀

You said banter against Indians is punching down. That means you think they are beneath Australians.

that's not what it means... simple Google search would have helped you out.

to attack or criticize someone who is in a worse or less powerful position than you.

so again, rather than duck the question. Do you think Indians are discriminated against equally to white Australians in Australia?

brandishes yoghurt

And this is why I prefer not to disclose my racial identity to literally anyone that's not my race unless absolutely necessary. Even the supposed "non-racists" have a bit of racist blood in them, and when push comes to shove, they will vote in a new White Australia Policy if it means they can get rid of these "illegals" for "taking 'er jerbs". Why can't white Australians be like their British cousins and get along with Indians?

EDIT: I think I upset a lot of white buttholes in here.

It pains me to see how 10-30 years ago, Indian Australians were seen as the 'ideal migrant' when it comes to cultural integration and somehow that image is now tarnished these days. Growing up in Parramatta, North Shore and multicultural suburbs of Perth, I know if given these waves of migrants that are currently coming came at the right time when there were abundant job and housing opportunities this wouldn't have happened.

I'm glad my parents were able to make it over here in Australia, but they really do think that racism is a thing of the past, whereas it's still here, alive and well, flowing through the veins of every white Australian like some kind of hivemind. Racism can never be eradicated unless the systems behind it are gone as well.

Saying that every white person is racist is just as racist as the stuff seen in the article.

But they didn't say that every white person is racist.

Yeah ok

My apologies. I genuinely missed that part of what was said. I really do apologise for that.

Australia is considered the most racist country in the Anglosphere. This is a common sentiment expressed by Asian origin (Chinese, Korean, Indian) people settled in the West. Casual racism is far more common in Australia than in rest of the Anglosphere. A lot of people have a tendency to downplay racism.

Honestly vile how we see the dehumanisation of South Asians play out online and in real life. Indians are always an acceptance target for racism, this would never happen to another group of people.Not to mention the Reddit comments "both sides-ing this". Anglo Australians will never understand racism and it's power dynamic. For example would this chant even happen to English or South African supporters?

Indian supporters were chanting convict shit.

Again, what is the power dynamic of that in 2025?

Power dynamic? India has a much larger military than us and like 50x our population? Plus nuclear weapons?

Yet Indian migrants are working in some of the poorest conditions earning a paltry wage. A population count or nuclear weapons have no bearing to the working class. This chant is another vector to White supremacy that Australia is unable to shed.

Those aren't the people coming to our country and calling us convicts so it's irrelevant. You're the one being racist for infantilising a whole country. They can stand up for themselves, they don't need your white saviour complex to protect them from a bit of argy bargy at the cricket.

Where in that video hyperlinked within the article were Indians chanting anything convict adjacent? If they stood up for themselves they probably would've been thrown out of the MCG and I hate to break this to you but I am not white.

"hate to break this to you but I am not white". Wow, the guy spewing racist shit about the nation that gave them the opportunity to live here instead of the shit they come from is not white, shocker.

Youre a joke of a person. Get your american politic power dynamic shit outta here. Theres no way youre trynna justify their racism with that dumbass excuse. Go look at the shit their saying in regards to Phil Hughes and lets see what bullshit excuse you will pull out of your butt to defend that

At least everyone could get an Uber home.

So what is it called when Sam Konstas gets relentlessly abused by Indian cricket fans, telling him he needs the "Phil Hughes treatment"?

it's harmless banter

Sticks and stones, if someone needs to pull the racist card and be derogatory or wish death upon someone it's because they're lacking then they become the joke nothing wrong with some harmless banter!

I honestly can't tell if you're joking or not.

Bit of a double standard there. Both incidents are clearly not okay.

I'd say in ten years it will be Australian born Indians yelling at overseas Indians at these cricket matches..

Nah not 10 years. You can't reverse that sort of tribalism that quickly and it's not like the immigration from India is stopping anytime soon. Even in crowd interviews there were Indian/Aussie kids with Aussie dominant accents but were supporting india - As in wearing the Indian ODI jersey and waving indian flag etc. General footage of the crowd was also a give-away...it was multi-generational support. At a macro level, you can't underestimate how patriotic Indians are....I actually respect that but it does go against the narrative of super quick assimilation.

Wait so your pro immigration, but also pro patriotism for immigrants. What's your opinion on patriotism for Australians?

I'm pro sustainable immigration which we haven't had in years. I think it's hard to argue that our sense of common identity, memory and culture has been noticeably fractured/diluted in the big cities (also helped by an increase an anti-patriotic sentiment). Indians clearly haven't lost any of that...They know who they are and are proud of it. I would like if Australia was more that way. All I'm pointing out is that their strong identity/culture, when immigrating here in large volumes every year into what is now a weaker/fractured Aussie culture means that assimilation will slow down drastically....especially if current trends continue.

Many Indians support a straight out fascist (Modi). There's absolutely nothing positive in that sort of vile nationalism.

Internal racism. Another beautiful child of colonisation.

Indians fans give as good as they get. Some Indian fans online were calling for Sam konstas to receive the "Phill hughes" treatment from bumrah.. Anyone not familiar with this reference; Phill died from being struck in the head by a ball while playing cricket.

What would be the equivalent of chanting "Where's your visa?" to White Australians, addressing their colonial history, that foreigners could use?

Both sides can take route. What's the Aussie equivalent of "where's your visa"?

Yeah im so desensitised to those comments, the chanting meant nothing haha

Exactly! Lot of deadbeat losers on Reddit who didn't work hard in school/uni/work and now blame immigrants for their own failures in life.

We must never question migration. Every person arriving is a doctor, lawyer or engineer. No migrant has ever committed a crime.

I've been to a few matches with a former partner who speaks Hindi. There's plenty of average stuff said by Indians at the cricket. They just don't do it in English. And not just about cricket. They was a group of guys a few rows behind us calling her some pretty vile names because she was dating a white person. They knew I couldn't understand them, but that she could. They were getting off on the fact they could abuse her in front of so many people and not face consequences. Apparently it had been also been happening in other places, like just walking down the street. A group of Indian guys walking past us would be talking in Hindi and I had no idea they were verbally abusing her.

have heard white people say similar things in English (not that white Australians are capable of speaking other languages) in public about white people with non-white partners

There's maybe 15 drunk blokes clapping it, and if you watch the video there seem to be two or three Indian guys sitting or standing among them, having a drink, not looking too unhappy. This usually falls under the category of shit-stirring, equivalent to asking the Tasmanian team members if they married their cousin. I'm stunned the article author decided to remain anonymous as their hard work digging up Twitter posts surely deserves some recognition.

It's easy for the instigators to claim it was just a joke. It's not a free pass to say whatever they want.

I personally wouldn't be offended by such a saying, wouldn't take it as racism, and it's more of a cheeky tease than an insult

the tease is specifically about their race and nationality. how is that not racist???

You realise it's a contest between nations right? Targeting their nationality is the whole point.

therefore it's ok to say racist things? uh no. you know better than that dude.

You're reading too much into it. Banter with Indians at the cricket is a long way from racial abuse in day to day life. They're not exactly sitting back and meekly taking it either. Yes there is a line there that shouldn't be crossed but you don't need to step in and protect the poor helpless Indians either.

these people don't watch or participate in sport, yet their minds are made up

|

not reading too much into it. it's pure racism motivated by the nationality and ethnicity of the victims. why are you so eager to defend this???? how the frick do you think indians who are australian citizens felt to hear that chant? why do you just get to decide the line, when something blantantly racist is ocurring? why wouldnt you simply advocate for zero racism???

just because the response is in kind doesnt make the initial statement not racist. you just keep bringing up all of these other details but NONE of them erase that it's a fundamentally racist behaviour. the victims could say thank you, please keep going, and it would still be racist.

suggesting the victims arent helpless doesnt mean it's ok to do. once again. just dont be fricking racist. it's ok because they're high status??? do you think the racists yelling it give a shit about whether the victim is ok with it or a rich athlete or not?

why, why, why is everyone tripping over themselves to say it's ok to be racist. mind boggling and shameful.

[removed]

yes im attuned to racism because it's an enormous issue.

not about race. all about visa. let's call it visaism.

a white crowd yelling that at an all-indian group is racism. we know what theyre saying. why are you deliberately being obtuse?

think about this for one second. why are they mentioning a visa? because of illegal immigration conspiracies. why are they connecting illegal immigration conspiracies to indian people? frickin racism.

dont you know what 99.99% of appeals to citizenship/visa are dogwhistles for? do you not live in the same modern world as all of us? do you not see what hatred of brown-skinned immigrants has done to the usa in the past month?

Pattern recognition is not racist lmao, don't you remember the Australian government specifically not accepting student visa applications from certain Indian states because of the insane amount of fraud? or the diploma mills that are undergoing a crackdown (how do you think all of the predominately Indian uber and menulog drivers ended up here?!).

India is also the place that scams Australians the most out of any other country by a mile. It's also hilarious that you act as if Indians don't do the same to everyone else, and subtly racist that you think because they are brown they cannot be anything other than morally righteous "victims".

they arent yelling at scammers. theyre yelling at professional indian visitors to the country who have nothing to do with scamming. how do you not understand associating them with indian stereotypes is racist? do you simply not understand what racism is? or you think it's ok?

You don't know that, also I don't see you condemning the stereotypes that same Indian crowd was hurling against white australians......... the selective outrage is insane.

do you not undertand that in australia, and the west, indian people do not possess the same social and economical status as white people? hence white people being racist to them in a majority white country is not the same as indians being racist toward whites. yes both are bad but only one is enabled by a system of racist exploitation. do you not understand how this isnt equivalent, and both sides being identical is only possible in a child's simplisic fantasy? do you understand the history of india and what the united kingdom did to that country? all racism makes me outraged of course. trying to make it ok because both sides were racist is not rational or clear-headed.

Indians in Australia are better off than white people on average. Also what on earth does Britain have to do with it? It's surprising to see all this stuff rehashed and regurgitated, I would have thought extreme American-style opinions like yours went away after about 2020.

classic "they/them"

yes im nonbinary therefore i dont know about racism? rational.

even if indians are "better off" than white people on average that doesnt mean the actual system isnt built to generally favour white people and undermine POC and immigrants. britain was the country that colonised australia as well as india. do you not understand the relationship? ive had these opinions for decades my friend. being aware of racism isnt a new thing, it only seems new if you never contemplated racism to begin with. my understanding of the world doesnt just "go away" without evidence. the evidence is that racism is a foundational part of the makeup of australia and appears very often, unfortunately.

!strayans ur all racist

!bharatiya ur all racist too

The end stage being complete corporate capture of all three branches of the government, and total gutting of state run safety nets, education, and infrastructure in favor of eventual privatization of such services. This is all far more in line with ancap fantasies than any genuine historical example of nationalist socialism or fascism. Ironically enough, "socialist" China is the one economic model currently existing that is closest to Italian fascism, in some regards.

They get too hung up on the popular definition of fascism being the marriage of the state and capital into one, without understanding the nature of the relationship between the nation-state and capital in fascist economics. In America, the nation-state is subservient to the interests of capital. In an ideal fascist state, capital exists solely in subservience to the nation-state. America perverts this like a dog walking a man, and not the man walking the dog. China has the balls to imprison billionaires. If Trump or Elon were genuine nationalist socialists, we would see them doing shit like creating jobs via public work projects to improve infrastructure and build nuclear power plants, desalination facilities, etc. They aren't even a tenth of the statesmen pre-war Adolf and El Duce were.

Both my husband and I work full time. I work from home full time, he only gets to work from home 2 days a week. It's getting really difficult to keep my little one happy on the days it's just her and me while also working. But daycare is so expensive this is really our only option.

Idk what I'm looking for here. Mostly to complain I think. Other than my husband, I don't really have anyone to vent about this with (and he feels bad enough that I'm having a hard time that I don't want to add to it). I welcome suggestions for keeping my 16 month old happy when I'm stuck in meetings.

Wild idea, play with them? Teach them how to play by themselves? Quit your job and raise your own kid?

I don't know who else to tell about this but I feel the need to tell someone. For reference I'm a 25 year old guy who hasn't shit himself since he was a kid. Anyway I got up this morning as usual, left the house to go to work and as I was approaching the train I felt the sudden urge to shit. I searched around for a cafe or something with a bathroom I could use but couldn't find anything. It happened in that moment of complete defeat. For a split second I thought I was farting, but no. Naturally I ran home as fast as I could, trying to hold my pants up as much as I could for fear of the shit (diarrhea) dripping further down my legs, and washed up, washed as much off of my butt, pants, thermal underwear, underwear and sweatpants I was wearing under my regular pants to protect myself from this horrible NYC cold. I texted my boss saying I "had a problem at home" and was gonna be about 45 min late. I put all my dirty clothes in a trash bag and will do laundry when I get home tonight.

I kinda need help coming up with an excuse for being late. I don't really know what to say and I do not want to tell them what actually happened.

CONTEXT!

The Dragon Age vidja games are as popular and mainstream as it is possible to get for gaymer straggots, but unfortunately just like subreddits getting too big, this would invite the lowest common denominator of peeps.

Additionally, the Dragon Age games, similar to Bioware games like Mass Effect have became famous for their relationships you can form with allies and NPCs in game, ESPECIALLY gaaaay relationships

Back in 2008-2009 this was an especial novelty (especially pregay marriage legalization in Burgerland), but as the years went into the mid 2010s, and became ever increasingly more popular with Tumbler crowd, despite the Romances with allies and NPCs being only a small fraction of the overall intent and collective experiences of these games, especially the 3 first Dragon Age games.

So many tumbler types would simply spam fan forums or subreddits with gay romance art, sometimes to the detriment of the community, because the romances of these BIOWARE games were supposed to be the cherry on the top of a particularly great dessert - it was supposed to be a reward for all the hard effort of defeating bad guys and orc-zombies and saving the day - like the 1980s American Hollywood action hero getting the girl at the end being satisfying, especially if we liked the character/actor.

It was never the main meat or main attraction of the games, even if I personally really liked them, and think they are best romances in all of gayming (not high bar i know but still). My issue and for many others, the Tumbler types would end up derailing forum conversations or group personalities of subreddits into the typical woke/shitlib mentality that we know of today.

For example the female Custodes and coomer menace which had invested the main 40k subs recently past 6 months - in a vacuum theoretically, you can have both discussions about the hidden lore, combat strategies, the behind the scenes development stories, fanart, and then romance/ fav companions discussions. But i have seen time and again how the group personality of a special interest group or hobby fandom can get warped over time if a specific demographic dominates discussion, and this is even BEFORE peeps of that mentality get into power of moderation in places like the /r/dragonage subreddits.

Many tumblerinas would never even play or even finish the games, and would hyper focus on the gayness romances, and apply their PRESENTISM modern contemporary politics, as if that was all their was to the Dragon Age setting.

And subsequently the Dragon Age games from 1 to 3 (from Origins to Inquisition), would also become notacibly more liberal with each subsequent installment. I'll give some examples just now-now. As newer devs came in to replace the veterans, and the developers more focused upon this new vibrant demographic.

This is important to realize because the original Dragon Age Origins was aimed at sweaty fantasy nerds from yesteryear, people like me - people who read shit like Conan the Barbarian and Sword and Sorcery tier fantasy from the 1930s - 1980s. Before Marvel transformed from nerd culture to mainstream midwit culture, so too did stuff like DnD transform from something squarely enjoyed by sweaty nerds and neckbeards, to fricking woke tumblerinas!

DA Origins is possibly the LAST game we will ever get like this, in terms of the tone and themes of writing, which has a similar bleak and ruggedness similar to 1980s dark fantasy or 1930s-1980s Conan the Barbarian bleakness. The events and world was bleak and grimdark, but the heroic actions of our protagonists were that much brighter and selfless and heroic in comparison, like candles in pitch darkness!

Additionally for both the Mass Effect and Dragon Age series, the 1st game in their respective trilogies, were the least played (by gaymer normies/tumblerinas), because they were both the most technical, difficult and required the most gaymer understanding of mechanics.

Mass Effect 1 to Mass Effect 2, transformed from a full on 3rd person RPG to a 3rd person action game And again, for me personally I greatly enjoyed both games! Both were excellent in their respective genres, but for genre-cucks like myself the fact remains that action games get much more attention and games within that genre, cuz a larger audience.

A similar thing occurred in Dragon Age 1 - Dragon Age 2, though not nearly as dramatic. DAO was a full on Ream-Time-pause RPG, my favorite kind, but the fact remains that just like the RTS (Real Time Strategy) golden age of 1997-2009, the genre was in reality always for a niche small audience, they sold, but would never sell Call of Duty tier numbers, they were simply too difficult or technical for many. (Even though we have a RTS revival renaissance for the Age of Empires series past 4 years)

DA2 would become much more action oriented, with enemies being divided into classes you were meant to overcome with cross-class combos from your fighting team; additionally the animations would become flashy and action like, and you could legitimately actually play the game on the easiest difficulty, without ever pausing the game or controlling your companions as if it was an Action game.

Yet DA2 was still a full on Real-Time-Pause game, and I personally really enjoyed it.

Though the writing remained strong, the games would more also liberalize subtly. This would throw off many of the woke shilib cucks when they went back in reverse order to play the very 1st game, which was published back in 2009. Because it contained fantasy sexism against women which as you guys can imagine always draws potshots from wokies

who disrespect the progenitor of the fricking series!

Which is especially galling, as the sexism shown in DA Origins is very meek, and often showcased the women curbstomping those male cucks daring underestimate our Warrior Kween!

It reminds me of a recent Live Action Adaptation of Avatar Airbender where one of the main protagonists was a very juvenile sexist, who would say shit like "You throw like a girl!" and would consequently get his butt beat by the amazonian chicks in-universe. Like the fricking story actually punished this character, and he grew to be much wiser, and a worthy leader!!!! Well guess wat!!!!!! They sandblasted the fricking sexism and other faults from the Live Action equivalent, we we got the wimpiest and shittiest adaptation of a fictional character to ever transfer between mediums

In Dragon Age Origins, even the meek sexism faced by female protagonists appears to be enough to have the turbo wokes and snowflakes shit themselves, and basically (left unsaid) imply they would remove all sexism from these types of games, EVEN if it depicted the sexism from bad people, and YOUR PROTAGONIST OVERCOMING SUCH BIGOTRY

In the prevailing sexism index, I'd put DA Origins way above stuff like Mount&Blade, which is as hardcore to sexism as it was in the Dark Ages, where playing as a Foid is literally hardcore mode.

https://old.reddit.com/r/mountandblade/comments/13s8cds/gender_question/

Basically, you need like double the amount of reputation and influence to get other nobles to do shit for you, but if you know the mechanics of the gayme, this isn't such a hurdle.

Instead I would put the "Prevailing-Sexism-Index" as above the typical Conan the Barbarian setting and below Wheel of Time, in terms of women being warriors and being typically respected/disrespected.

In Conan, there are very few women bearing arms, and mass r*pe is plentiful. The world is barbaric, and bandits are plentiful. But every now and then there is a woman warrioress which Conan encounters, like Sonja the Red or Tsia the piratess.

In wheel of time, there are as many Matriarchies as there are equal nations (because only women can be sane mages and be living flamethrowers) , but men still do the lionshare of physical fighting as frontline foottroops, with exceptions being the Amazonian Aiel foid warriors and so on - thus female warriors are rare, but plentiful enough to be visible for most people to see and form sexism against the in-universe physically weaker women.

In the game DA Origins there are various gendered interactions, showcasing that women have obtained much greater freedom over the past centuries, but the vestiges of sexism still prevailing everywhere.

https://old.reddit.com/r/WhenMenWriteWomen/comments/pnibb6/this_line_of_dialogue_from_dragon_age_origins_was/

"This line of dialogue was definitely written by a man!" REALLY? Your own sister or mother never insulted you guys by attacking your masculinity?

https://old.reddit.com/r/dragonage/comments/1f236n8/when_you_start_a_game_and_its_already_lying_to_you/

Here's a small microexample of beating up sexist dudes is STILL not good enough for Tumblerinas

some yapping about sexism

"Some of the games writing has aged badly, it's not unjustified for players, especially younger ones, to be uncomfortable about it or to point it out."

https://old.reddit.com/r/dragonage/comments/zqdl0t/dao_spoilers_issues_with_how_origins_treats_the/

"Does anybody else notice this? How, even though in the character creation description it says that women are treated as relative equals and are well respected, they really aren't? I haven't played as a male character yet, so I don't know the nuances of how they're treated, but I'm pretty sure they don't get at least one "Wow, I can't believe you're a man" at every story point. And I'm pretty sure that DA2 and DAI don't really have this problem so that makes it even more noticeable (and bothersome)."

Remember what i said about the games aggressively liberalizing the dark and bleak setting with the following installments? Many zoomer/liberal gaymers would be SHOCKED when they went back to the original game, and all the different demographics aren't treated like an amorphous genderless cuck blob

Like holy smokes, in the game there are Alienages, or evish ghettos because elves are 2nd tier citizens because they are cucks in this universe - and the soys will STILL complain about the prevalence of any amount of sexism in-universe.

https://old.reddit.com/r/dragonage/comments/zqdl0t/dao_spoilers_issues_with_how_origins_treats_the/

"I think the only explanation for why some of that stuff still ends up creeping into the dialogue, particularly the sexism as you mention, is that the writers fell back on common medieval and fantasy tropes regarding treatment of women, either forgetting or not realizing that is clashed with lore."

This person is talking out of their asses, they are completely full of shit, and likely got their liberal impression from DA2 and Inquisition.

From the very onset in the game DA Origins, there were clear undertones of bleakness and sexism, as if the whole continent was slowly clawing its way back into "modern" civilization, with various calamities and disasters having plunged the whole continent back into cultural and technological dark ages. Foremost being the Blight - a swarming infestation of zombie-orcs which poisons and decays all natural habitats and life they come into contact with, which had decimated civilizations prior to the events in the game.

Runes and murals and ruins dot the landscape, the shells of once magnificent civilizations lived in by their diminished descendants.

In at least two moments, the Suffrage of women are mentioned ingame for DA Origins:

[1] Silent Sisters - dwarf chicks who cut out their own tongues

[2] Aveline - the chevalier in fantasy Frogland Orlais who beat up all the male cucks in a tournament, and won the right for Foids to become Frogland knights in-universe

https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Aveline_(chevalier)

[3] Sten, a companion of a faroff race, lives in an ultra-communist ultra-rigid society where roles are decided at birth due to the suitability of the kid - he expresses early on meeting with a Foid protagonist that he is MIND-FRICKED by the fact that she is a women and a warrior, cuz in his ultra-stratified nation, they don't exist. This conversation is not easily missed by peeps who actually played the game.

https://dragonageconfessions.blog/post/78274993851/confession-playing-as-a-female-warden-was-one-of

One tumbler feminist actually broke the mold in expressing the joy of overcoming sexism in the game universe.

Point is that low grade mild sexism was baked into Origins from the get go, as if in the start of the game, it has basically only been a hundred years since many women have obtained the rights or respect to join and command fantasy armed forces. The vast majority of fighting NPCs are male, when in combat and cinematics.

Yet even still warrioress women are shown as combat able, being exceptional in their roles and to be taken seriously. But this is not enough for the soys

https://old.reddit.com/r/dragonage/comments/zqdl0t/dao_spoilers_issues_with_how_origins_treats_the/j0xnke4/?context=8

"After countless male characters I decided to make a female one. When the phrase "I swear I'm the bravest of all of you and I'm a woman" became an option I cringed so fricking hard"

Lmoa these people are soooooooooo soy - I have literally heard Safrican women sargeants pooping on male recruits in barracks for failing to do their PT in early basics, egging them on, and calling them p%ssies fr not even being able to do pushups which their women peers are able to do!

I realize this can still be belittling for women gaymers, but i have genuinely seen Afrikaans women, both the older and newer generation, calling men sissies for not being as brave as their sisters or female classmates, when a particularly tough adventurous undertaing was being balked at - like when during a school summer camp we were tasked with swimming across al lake midwinter when it was freezing, the women camp instructors would call all the boys wimps for not even being brave enough to act like a man, and do what the chicks were bravely doing

Like have absolutely none of these peeps experienced the phenomena of men having their masculine pride attacked, also by women trying to prop them up? Maybe that is a remnant of Midievall sexism, where even women partook in enforcing gender roles, but it sure as heck was realistic behaviviour

This one line seems to have turbo cucked sooooooooooooooooooooooooo many Tumblerinas!

https://old.reddit.com/r/dragonage/comments/zqdl0t/dao_spoilers_issues_with_how_origins_treats_the/j0yh78g/?context=8

Once again how incredibly mild sexism in DA Origins is.

Anyways I won't waste your time too much further, but throughout the past decade a lot of bitching and grumbling had been made by tumblerinas.

Sounds very different than his comments on H1Bs in 2016.

he doesn't need to pander to anybody now

Negged by a sycophant.

WE SUPPORT PRESIDENT TRUMP'S POSITIONS UNCONDITIONALLY ON THIS SITE. RULE 1. THOSE CRITICIZING HIM ARE DNC AND CCP SHILLS THAT CAN FRICK OFF BACK TO REDDIT.

IF TRUMP SUPPORTS H1BS THEN SO DO I!!! TRUMP WON A HISTORIC MANDATE NOT ANY OF YOU SO SHUT THE FRICK UP, SIT DOWN, AND FOLLOW PRESIDENT TRUMP. IF NOT, FRICK OFF!!!!!

MAGA NOW AND FOREVER. WE FOLLOW TRUMP.

LOL who's the shill? I think it's the person here pushing for us to shut up and accept immigration, H1-Bs, etc.

now the shills are the ones blindly following trump

Maybe Stephen Miller will convince him otherwise.

Hahahahaha stormstrags BTFO.

President Trump supports Elon's ability to take genius scientists and engineers from anywhere to build his rockets.

This is all necessary because our school system has been overtaken by "woke" and we don't produce the best anymore. We rank much lower than most countries on test scores. China and India are now beating us in producing these people.

President Trump is smart. Xi would be laughing at us if we didn't import geniuses here.

Luckily President Trump is playing 4D chess and stormstrags here are playing chutes and ladders.

FOR THOSE CRITICIZING TRUMP IN THIS THREAD, WE SUPPORT TRUMP UNCONDITIONALLY. RULE 1. THOSE CRITICIZING TRUMP ARE RINOS AND NOT MAGA!!!

the dramatards could learn a thing or two from this guy

Eat shit and die, schlomo.

WE SUPPORT PRESIDENT TRUMP'S POSITIONS HERE. IF TRUMP SUPPORTS H1B THEN SO DO I.

PRESIDENT TRUMP DICTATES WHAT WE FOLLOW ON THIS SITE. FRICK OFF CUTE TWINK SHILL COMMUNIST.

commies btfo'd

HOLD THE LINE!

He needs to hear our voices, and our stories.

i'm sure the billionaire cares more about you than the dollars he'll save by giving jobs to third worlders

He needs to say this in a truth post not reported on by the NY post to get a vibe gauge.

If he does side w the POS Musk then it's good bye to half his core base.

Trump doesn't stand with Nazi losers. Trump stands for #MAGA.

Fake MAGAs GTFO!

Yep. If he turns around and backs the Great Replacement after all of this, I'm fricking done with him. This is the ultimate BETRAYAL.

Anti Elon cucks BTFO. If you hate Elon then you better hate Trump now too

We're not a cult

/r/Bristol showed up in a recent post for being prone to and this is no exception. Bristol is an extremely left-wing city which is why it is an open-air latrine.

_{"gore" has been blacked out}

Some misgyonist christcuck nonsense about not killing babies has popped up in the very center of the hornet's nest, this has genuinely broken some brains:

Someone needs to burn those boards. What a bunch of ladygardens.

Wtaf. How is this happening here? 😑

Roe vs Wade got overturned in the states, effectively allowing states to ban abortion. That means these peepeehead lobbying charities got what they wanted and have no reason to exist, and bucketloads of money left over, so they are spreading their fundamentalist bullshit all over the world.

These anti abortion peepeeheads are the UK wing of a charity funded by Reagan era state representative. Not dissimilar to Elon Musk funding Reform, all part of a ploy by right wing yanks to get us involved in their brand of culture wars.

Despite the charity being British and abortion laws being considerably stricter than the average US States, all of this is musk and his cronies somehow.

The irony is that the fact that these people even think this is proof of their brains being BUCK BROKEN by the americhad cultural hegemony

How do you walk past this without tearing it all down in anger? Ffs.

this neighbour boutta crash out lmao suddenly has no problem with violence despite crying about it previously

I'm all for counterprotesting these freaks, but it's probably worth mentioning that cults LOVE it when you reaffirm what they teach to their members

I'm all for doing something that isn't internet whining, but here's a carefully preplanned reason why I won't I'm actually very above it all and smart

Good, I said my piece and hung around for a bit in case a crowd of counter protest gathered

Oh nice. They will now see how the British people won't put up with their shit unlike the yanks. Get down there boys and give em heck.

I shouted at a female charity volunteer and then stood there waiting for a counter protest to form, I am literally an antifascist warrior guys

please also the second comment ty

God forbid people have a different opinion ig Believe it or not, not wanting babies to be killed is a valid line of thinking.

This one caused a huge slapfight which you may peruse at your leisure

Morality is not objective. You may be convinced in your beliefs, I also believe that abortion is morally good. Just because the majority of people share this moral, doesn't make it objectively correct.

Literally two comments later:

There's having a different opinion and then there's just objectively and morally wrong.

My belief is that a woman of sound mind is entitled to make a decision whether to have a baby or to terminate the pregnancy. However i do wonder how many abortions can 1 person have before eye brows are raised?

>woman of sound mind

Listen, I've had two in my nearly 40 years of life,

TWO abortions? You might be interested in this exercise love

These people are SO mad! even the jannies are making sure their Good Boy Opinions are known

@Vegeta , @Aevann , can you ban this neighbor @Liquid_Bridge and @laguerna. It's obviously ghost. I know you probably don't care tbh, but the first one is pretending to be me and obviously failing, and the second is larping as a groomercord BIPOC.

I meant to post this 2 weeks ago, but I forgot It's not some crazy drama. But there's no politics / wingcuckery so that's nice and I'm enjoying his casual attitude toward blowing $2500

Soydittors his coin

Some soydittors suspect a troll

But he seems genuine imo

I'm a very fortunate person, fortunate enough that I can spend 2,500 on a cent on a whim

No he ripped you off.

It was an honest mistake. Not a problem.

Teslas are shit cars (look at their error stats) and Elon is a shit human being. I'm German, and I know a fricking Nazi Sieg Heil when I see one!! (667)

You're the original nazi. Takes one to know one. (-93)

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔘🔘🔘

Your friend is ignoring the facts because they make her uncomfortable. Elon is a total Nazi, he's defending the AfD, a neo Nazi party, in Germany right now and telling Germany to get over the Holocaust. He bought Twitter so Nazis would quit getting banned and censored. They just ignore those facts because it makes them uncomfortable and it doesn't directly impact them...yetQuit trying to defend Nazi shit in my comments. I'm gonna tell you you're defending a Nazi and then block your ignorant butt when you continue to try and act like THIS isn't the same darn thing https://giphy.com/gifs/gJJ8ZV3xVonUU4vcXwETA: Longer paragraphs defending Nazi shit doesn't all of a sudden mean I won't block you when I see it, so you can quit trying to convince me to give Nazis a chance to speak their mind...frick Nazis and frick their opinions, their Nazi butt opinions are rooted in bigotry, they're trash and I don't discuss things with garbage. (318)

He is saying my heart goes out to you!! I am high jacking your top comment to clearly point this out. Quit making something into what it isn't. He did not do the salute. He was throwing his heart out to the crowd. Whatever other agenda y'all have with whatever he has done is not needed in this. Pretend he isn't Elon.. he is just some person throwing his darn heart out to the crowd!!! OP threw out a friendship because they are so blinded by just who the person is that they didn't want to see what was actually being said with the hand gesture! FFS get over yourselves! (-45)

Basedness: 🔥🔘🔘🔘🔘

No, he's literally done the "my heart goes to you" gesture by making his hands into a heart.He ALSO literally JUST told Germany to get over the Holocaust If it honks like a goose and steaks like a goose, it's a fricking Nazi (30)

Lmao this is beyond wild. He did not say "get over the holocaust" like the other comment says he said it's over and no one is to be to blame anymore don't blame someone for their ancestors! Geez (-23)

this comment isn't all that good. not all that interesting or good really. double plus bad. it's not really 'top comment' material is it? it does really conform with what's popular though. fascists everywhere. i feel faint... where am i.... is that guy doing a bad thing? i hate that man. hate. hate. hate. hate. hate. hate. hate. hats. i mean hate. hate. hate. hate. hate. hate. hate. hate. hate. hate. hate. hate. (-1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

People can be upset by more than one thing at the same time where I come from. Not good at multi -tasking? (4)

No, I'm neurodivergent. I don't need to see a clip of Elon being a moron to know that Trump is a fascist and I feel that this particular thing is rage bait. It's a bad look, but it's not an executive order that is going to get thousands of trans people killed. There's so much destructive angry energy going around and I feel like it's not even worth it to keep dwelling on Elon's Nazi salute. The salute and the response are amplifying all of the nasty energy that's already in the country. And the salute isn't even killing anyone. (1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Pretty sure bro bought the car before elon supposedly seig heiled anyways. (10)

Yeah idk what OP's angle is here. Like are they demanding they sell their car just because op doesn't like Elon after he did something stupid? The fact op is literally being an butthole, forcing politics into the group chat then getting angry they don't automatically hate whoever op hates, then getting more angry that they happen to own a Tesla, is unequivocally an butthole move and sentiment but Reddit is so anti Elon they'll ignore all of it just to take another stab at that dumbass (2)

Linux Foundation launches Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers initiative with backing from Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Opera

As Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, explains, "This project will provide much-needed funding and development support for open development of projects within the Chromium ecosystem."

The Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers initiative will operate as a neutral platform, enabling collaboration while maintaining the existing governance structures of Chromium projects. By removing barriers and encouraging broader participation, the initiative hopes to expand adoption and ensure ongoing progress in the ecosystem.

Major industry players, including Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Opera, have pledged their support. Google's VP of Chrome, Parisa Tabriz, said, "With the incredible support of the Linux Foundation, we believe this initiative is an important opportunity to create a sustainable platform for continued development and innovation in the Chromium ecosystem."

This new project will follow an open governance model, prioritizing transparency, inclusivity, and community-driven development. A technical advisory committee will be established to guide its efforts and address the needs of the broader Chromium community.

Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers - Linux Foundation

https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/01/09/1728246/tech-giants-form-chromium-browser-coalition

What a giant misstep from the Linux Foundation. Any goodwill Servo had should be flushed down the drain with this. As if Chromium needs more support....

💯 screw TLF! I lost all respect for them.

Firef*x should be the win.

It's more clear than ever that Google cannot be trusted. Their browser is a privacy nightmare, and in the next few years, ads and tracking will be mandatory. MV3 was just the first step. They will ban all ad blockers and privacy extensions in the next few years. Whoever made this decision at the Linux foundation should be ashamed of themselves

if this thing will be successful then in a few years mozilla will switch to this open-chromium, and will throw away the gecko engine... because this chromium will be "totally open and independent from google", and finally they'll be free from the trouble of developing gecko.

I do expect that to happen sooner or later but I did not expect this coalition to happen either lol.

...the nightmare just won't end, will it.

Remember! Make a FOSS tard angry and use Brave!
