Is this what I have to look forward to on Reddit for the next 4 years? Do you guys not understand that these little "gotcha" snaps do absolutely NOTHING to lower this man's legitimacy in the eyes of his voters? Not only that, but this sort of thing enables the narrative that people will criticize him for anything regardless of how wrong he is.Criticize him for concrete things, not optics. If I were a working class dude in the US, barely scrapping by with the looming threat of poverty over my head, I wouldn't give an ounce of a FRICK how much of a "gentleman" this guy is. Democrat policies are generally popular but your optics are so fricking atrocious that you have a huge section of the country voting against you because you treat them the same a king would treat a peasant. Calling them uncivilized, racist, sexist and all kinds of other things instead of treating them as rational agents that can be persuaded. The age of guilt politics is over. The quicker the Dems understand that, the... (2)

Honestly I don't frickin care. It doesn't matter. These people have and always will have power strictly because they bought it. He could be dragging her by her hair through gravel and he would still have won the election. Not because he's great but because this country is stupid. He could reinstate lynchings and half the frickin country would cheer and gaslamp you for being angry like it's no big deal.It's not that his followers are ignorant, they're malicious. You don't vote for trump in 2024 after 4 years of him in 2016-2020 unless you want to hurt the people you don't like. And liberals posting these pictures on social media and clutching their pearls like it matters is just going to normalize whatever shitty behavior he does. His frickhead cultists will see him mistreating his wife and say "heck yeah looks like it's mistreat your wife season, time to put my ufc gloves on" (1)

I wish people wouldn't post dumb shit like this. It's just a candid shot that is likely taken completely out of context. Trump is literally a fascist, why is it necessary to make up stupid shit like this? It just distracts from the actual terrible things he's done/is doing/is threatening to do.

Which redscare demographic is seething at her harder?

I say this as a feminist ally

I'll go first:

Eyes Wide Shut - me and the Mrs try to watch a spicy flick here and there. This one ended up being more contemplative and disturbing. We loved it, as it portrays extramarital adventurism as a dark, sinister thing. The film's centerpiece is the elitist s*x cult scene which seems prescient in hindsight. Kidman is so gorgeous. Cruise was very good in this one. Highly recommended.

Peanut Butter Falcon - despite the use of the word "r-slur" here on RSP, was nice to see a feel good movie with a deeper and less cheesy/Hollywoodized portrayal of a Down's character. Shia Labeuf and Dakota Johnson were great. The plot is a little contrived but I liked that it was a film about brotherhood. All three main characters are broken people from lost or broken families. The wrestling angle was fun.

Entrapment - Cheesy as frick, but love Connery and CZJ was a hot goddess in the 90s/00s.

A History of Violence - I thought this was a pretty poignant film for this point in my life. I've become extremely anti-war and anti-violence as the Internet has enabled keyboard warriors to wish the worst on others without having seen or experienced firsthand what they're manifesting, typically. This film is brutal, and it shows how violent action can spur a chain of events that can ruin many lives. The s*x scenes were hot, too. Maria Bello set the standard for beautiful middle aged women in the mid 00s.

Let's comment on each other's analyses too.

It has recently come to my attention that we, as a community, are wasting too much time discussing the ban of the discussion about the ban of twitter links. To prevent a dip on drama contracts being carried out and keep the marleycoin economy of the town flowing, all discussion of any kind of ban discussion is banned.

I would love to cast blessing of light on all of you, brothers and sisters, to guide you on your path towards salvation and productivity, unfortunately I am merely a Lv1 Cleric, so I shall save it for the comment that needs me the most.

Thank you so much for your attention. May the Gods bless you all

OP's POOOOOST

Upfront, let's get one thing out of the way quickly. Yes, I am aware that Astro is referred to using masculine pronouns in official materials. Someone or something can be an icon to a group whether or not they're part of it. You're probably well aware that Judy Garland was an icon to gay men and you're also probably well aware that Judy Garland wasn't a gay man.

Now, if you were coming into this thread to tell me 'well actually on the press release it says…' or if the suggestion that Astro is non-binary made you feel any discomfort or annoyance, I want you to keep that reaction in mind as we explore further, because I think there's something important to unpick there.

There's a popular way of analyzing art broadly referred to as 'the artist is dead'. You're likely familiar with it, but incase you aren't I will briefly explain it. Art should be able to be appreciated by itself. As such we shouldn't need to know what the artist intended their art to convey. Pretend that the artist died before they could talk about the work, and approach it from that perspective.

It was the intent when making Alien, that eggs were made from captured victims. There was a scene in the script where Dallas is found half turned into an egg, so they were designed with this in mind. That scene was filmed. Now, it didn't make the final cut… and when a different creative team came in to make Aliens, they completely changed the life cycle of the aliens from what was intended by the people who made Alien and who designed the creatures. The alien queen wouldn't exist if the creators of Aliens hadn't approached Alien from a perspective that 'the artist is dead'. Personally I think culture would be worse off without the fight between the alien queen and Ripley in the power loader and…

Astro Bot. This is about Astro Bot. Sorry.

Lets put aside everything other than what we know about Astro from within the fiction. Put aside things outside the fiction like tutorials, menus, credits, product descriptions, press releases etc.

Ignore your instinctual revulsion that his fictional character, a robot, is referred to with masculine pronouns, and remember that that the best media criticism is that which completely ignores anything to come to the conclusion I like . So we'll begin with ignoring all the fictional references to the character and the non-fictional representations of the fictional character... A healthy place for grounded media analysis.

Astro. Astro is a robot. There's no reason to presume that Astro's people reproduce sexually. Certainly no reason to presume that you need a boy robot and a girl robot to do some electric love in order to make baby robots, and that all of those baby robots should be a boy one or a girl one.

When we look at Astro, there aren't any obvious human gender characteristics. While some of Astros friends dress in male or female costumes, (and we'll get to that!) their bodies are uniform.

See?

So what do we have in Astro's case. Well Astro has some blue highlights the other bots don't. Blue=boy! I mean, it doesn't obviously. You could argue that it suggests that, but doesn't it seem like a bit of a stretch? If you aren't looking for reasons to put a robot into a gender binary would you find that compelling?

Given how little evidence we have that Astro has any physical characteristics suggesting male or female, the next thing we generally reach for would be to see whether or not Astro has any expression of gender. And… well Astro wears a cape and its blue!. Blue=BOYx2 QED!.

Again… that's it. Astro's expressions of identity demonstrate aren't stereotypically male or female, instead showing compassion and bravery and joy at belonging to a community. And what a community!

Astro's friends seem about evenly split between those that express a sense of gender and those that (like Astro) don't. I'm not sure if one group is bigger than the other, but certainly the plurality of robots express androgyny when compared to the groups that express masculinity and the group that express femininity.

Astro treats everyone equally, of course. Whether the bots belong to either of the minorities that express a male or female identity, they are still accepted. The fiction doesn't give me anything to suggest if these identities are chosen, or pre programmed from the moment they come online. Personally I believe they're chosen. That the wigs and costume items (and any custom gear or programming) are built by the robots as they choose to express their truths.

Even if androgyny isn't the default out of the box configuration, it remains the most common one.

And so I default to seeing Astro and a good chunk of the other robots as non-binary.

I think it's telling that we as humans tend to default to male pronouns when presented with a robot or alien race that doesn't have a gender binary. The Sontarans in Doctor Who for example. They're a clone race. One single gender. There are countless other examples I'm sure you can bring to mind.

Even when presented with a culture of robots where a plurality (if not a majority… I'm not going to do the math) present androgynously and only minorities present as masculine or feminine, why do we default to thinking Astro is a boy?

If you're one of the people who felt compelled to come in here and point to the 'fact' that Astro is referred to with he/him pronouns outside of the fiction, or who find an endeavor such as writing an essay on the gender identity of a robot in a video game annoying or frustrating, I really want you to try to reflect on why that upsets you. There are no genitals to check. No pronouns to ask for. No DNA test you can do. No gametes to measure. Because Astro is a robot.

If someone non-binary looks at all that and concludes that Astro is a non-binary icon, since they have an androgynous expression in a culture clearly accepting of masculine, feminine and androgynous gender expressions, and that has some value to them, what in any of that is cause for discomfort?

You can insert a computer code pun here if you want, I won't get offended. And thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

That's a lot of words to suggest that s*x-less robots, literal non-humans somehow also have the this guy's uniquely human concept of gender and gender expression... because they just do okay. How do the ERA philosophers react?

I know many of you here didn't liked the game and called it second coming of Hitler

But I agree with this comment:

(I know the anti woke don't want to admit it but they basically cancelled this game.

Like how woke people cancel stuff they did it to this game because it didn't fit their "view".

This game never had a chance from the get go.

To much checklist:

EA hate

To "woke"

Gameplay was to different

"Ugly" characters

Some characters not having enough "bust"

I can't judge the story because inhavent played it yet

Honestly if it wasn't labeled dragon age it might of done better.)

Yep, they want shareholders to believe that they reached 1.5 million sales, but their wording is intentionally misleading.

Will never stop surprising how r-slurred Redditors are, Dragon age sold similar to ff7 rebirth so the numbers did reach 1.5 millions

But main problem hating dragon age is this

https://old.reddit.com/r/FFVIIRemake/comments/1hikwu2/european_sales_analyst_chris_dring_ffvii_rebirth/

For shareholders it doesn't make any sense now doing AAA single players games since most people just play call of duty and fifa and some mobile sloop.

Dead space remake was awesome but it also flopped so no dead space 2 remake.

Anytime I begin to talk to anyone about gaming here in the UK, they all mention they're g*mers. When I ask what they play, they all respond "Fifa and COD". If they're under 30 they also mention Fortnite. It's so rare for me to find anyone who plays anything outside of the aforementioned games in real life let alone someone who plays Final Fantasy.

Gaymers are r-slurs

It's like that meme where nerds playing a dungeon and dragon then a normie join, then normie invites a foid and then they kick out nerds and make new rules

Don't get me wrong, my life has improved greatly from transitioning, but I'm still having trouble with the simplest of things. I have a great deal of mental issues, I used to talk them out, but nobody wants to hear that shit anymore.

jeez I feel so unloved. If I felt like nobody cared about me before transition, well darn well ain't nobody care about me now.

Neighbor forgot how easy life was in female mode

It's a lot of "help yourself and shut up, do your work now and you can't ever be upset, if you cry you're not a man and if you get angry you're a threat."

Even the most effeminate gays hate a whiny gollum like creature

The stress is so much to me, I get to points where I'm just waiting to hit something. I can barely cry due to testosterone

Shoot up your elementary school, Audrey Hale

As long as I am upset, I will not rest and I need to do something about it, I can't just talk about it so I have to workout, which is difficult as is because I have fatigue issues and am paranoid about things lurking in the darkness of my basement

I feel like I'm growing increasingly more paranoid, stress and fatigue are driving me mad, the fact that no one cares drives me more mad.

But it would help if people at least showed some sympathy for me, I get their caught up in their own issues, they don't have to hear the whole story or give me advice just at least say like "that sucks". Idk man

COMMENTS

You might get your hormone levels checked. If fatigue, paranoia, and the detachment is out of the ordinary, if could be low testosterone plus mental health issues and stress.

That's it. Time to increase your T even more

It's true there's less social support for men than for women, but this sounds like there's something else going on. Hallucinating due to fatigue isn't a common experience for men.

OP: I did talk about the fatigue to my therapist, I've been going to the doctors to figure it out, they suspect it's due to low oxygen

On November 29th, I learned that the streamer Destiny had non-consensually shared pornographic content of me online. My dignity, peace of mind, and hopes for the future, were stripped away in a mere matter of seconds following the betrayal of someone I previously trusted.

I am at least the third person he has done this to. I hope to be the last. I will not be commenting on the experience of the other women he has hurt, as it is not my place or story to tell. I will however share my story in the hopes of preventing this from occurring again.

I have been told that a court case like this could potentially cost over tens of thousands of dollars. I am terrified. I mean, this guy talks about potentially suing Hasan (as if for fun), and Hasan actually has the resources to defend himself. I cannot imagine what he might try to do to me in this process. Sometimes, I wonder if he does this as an intimidation tactic. I wonder if he is purposely trying to put fear into my heart when he casually talks about throwing money into a lawsuit with a multi-millionaire who can fight back. As if it's an indirect flaunt/warning over his capability of out spending me in whatever legal case I throw at him. At the request of my friends, I have been encouraged to link my give send go regarding this case here, in hopes that we can raise enough for me to legally succeed.

I'm so confused, are you protesting for all of these things at the exact same rally? Because that doesn't make any sense, poor way to get your message across when you have 10 different messages going on at once.

Protests for all of these individual issues have been happening for years, with no policy change to speak of. Organizing under a more general anti-establishment, anti-capitalist, pro-worker sentiment can draw a larger crowd. These issues are not separate, all of them are interconnected, and each and every one of these issues is at jeopardy under the current administration. PSL, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, is trying to build a large working class coalition to work together and put pressure on our government to really get things done, as asking nicely clearly hasn't worked. Every member of the working class has gripes with our worsening economic and political conditions over the past few years (decades really), but addressing these issues separately hasn't and doesn't work, so connecting these gripes into one real, organized, educated fight is the only way forward.

Unsatisfied with your material conditions? Well, chudderino, better support all these unrelated nonsense causes because I'm an adjunct associate professor and I need to justify my existence somehow.

In her first major public appearance since leaving office, Harris did not reference her election loss or President Donald Trump's actions since entering the Oval Office.

LOS ANGELES — Former Vice President Kamala Harris stepped on the NAACP Image Awards stage Saturday night with a sobering message, calling the civil rights organization a pillar of the Black community and urging people to stay resilient and hold onto their faith during the tenure of President Donald Trump.

"While we have no illusions about what we are up against in this chapter in our American story, this chapter will be written not simply by whoever occupies the oval office nor by the wealthiest among us," Harris said after receiving the NAACP's Chairman's Award. "The American story will be written by you. Written by us. By we the people."

The 56th annual Image Awards kicked off Saturday at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in the Los Angeles area.

Harris, defeated by Trump in last year's presidential election, was the first woman and the first person of color to serve as vice president. She had previously been a U.S. senator from California and the state's attorney general.

In her first major public appearance since leaving office, Harris did not reference her election loss or Trump's actions since entering the Oval Office, although Trump mocked her earlier in the day at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Harris spoke about eternal vigilance, the price of liberty, staying alert, seeking the truth and America's future.

"Some see the flames on our horizons, the rising waters in our cities, the shadows gathering over our democracy and ask 'What do we do now?'" Harris said. "But we know exactly what to do, because we have done it before. And we will do it again. We use our power. We organize, mobilize. We educate. We advocate. Our power has never come from having an easy path."

Other winners of the Chairman's prize have included former President Barack Obama, the late Rep. John Lewis and the late actor Ruby Dee.

NAACP Hall of Fame

Harris was honored during the ceremony along with the Wayans family. The family was inducted into the NAACP Image Awards Hall of Fame in recognition of pioneering contributions to film, TV, sketch and stand-up comedy that have shaped Hollywood for decades.

Keenen Ivory Wayans, Damon Wayans Sr., Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Kim Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr. each were recognized.

Marlon Wayans, whose guest appearance on Peapeepee's "Bel-Air" was up for an NAACP award, shared how Keenen Ivory Wayans sparked the family's rise.

"He raised us all like Jedis," he said. "We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for our big brother."

Marlon Wayans joked that when his brother told their mom he was leaving college for comedy, she said, "Boy, I've known you your whole life, and you ain't never said nothing funny. That's the funniest thing you've said."

The crowd erupted in laughter, a fitting tribute to a family that has kept audiences laughing for more than three decades.

The family has a long list of credits. Keenen Ivory Wayans created the sketch comedy series "In Living Color" in 1990 and directed the 2000 slasher spoof "Scary Movie," which was written by Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans, who also wrote and starred in "White Chicks" in 2004. Damon Wayan's had a starring role in the 1995 comedy "Major Payne," and currently co-stars with son Damon Wayans Jr. in the CBS sitcom "Poppa's House," which was nominated for an NAACP Award. The pair also were nominated for their acting on the show.

Damon Wayans Jr. has acted in two of the most critically acclaimed comedies in recent years: "Happy Endings" and "New Girl." Kim Wayans, a comedian, actor and director, also received praise for her work in the 2011 drama "Pariah."

Entertainer of the year

Keke Palmer expressed her surprise after her name was called as winner of the coveted entertainer of the year.

"Oh my gosh. Guys, I didn't think I was going to win," said Palmer, who paid homage to fellow nominee Cynthia Erivo's Oscar-nominated performance in "Wicked."

Palmer starred in the buddy comedy "One of Them Days," which debuted No. 1 at the box office last month. She also won an Emmy for her hosting efforts on NBC's "Password."

"It's such an amazing category to be in with all these people," Palmer said. "It's a beautiful night. It's Black History Month, y'all. It's so important we all come here together and celebrate one another with one another."

Other nominees included Kendrick Lamar, Kevin Hart and Shannon Sharpe.

Awards recognize L.A. residents impacted by wildfires

Image Awards host Deon Cole honored residents of the nearby Altadena neighborhood who were affected by January's devastating Los Angeles-area wildfires.

A video of the fire devastation played before actor Morris Chestnut took the stage.

"Homes were lost, stores destroyed, countless lives shattered and over two dozens souls gone forever," said Chestnut, a Los Angeles native who referenced impacted areas such as Altadena, the Pacific Palisades and Malibu.

"But what was not lost is the spirit of our community," said Chestnut, who noted 22 Altadena residents attended the show on Saturday. Many in the audience stood and applauded.

Cole shifted tone and brightened the mood with a comedic prayer for Kanye West's wife to find more clothes after her barely-there Grammys look and for Shannon Sharpe to finally size up his T-shirts.

The opening act was a lead-up to the evening's first award: Queen Latifah as best actress in a drama series for her role in "The Equalizer."

Chappelle honored

Dave Chappelle was honored with the President's Award for his "thought-provoking humor."

Accepting the award, Chappelle talked about the NAACP's push against negative portrayals of Black people in media and the importance of representation.

"Every opportunity we get, we just keep chipping away at this monster of a machine," he said.

Past recipients of the President's Award include Jay-Z, Lauryn Hill, Usher, Rihanna and John Legend.
