In The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien drew upon the language and themes found in the old Medieval hero-tales in order to construct a kind of new mythology. The brilliance of Tolkien was in his departure from the Pagan modes of conduct and morality of these old tales, his creation of a syncretistic fusion between Christian thought and Pagan language, and so his work achieved a deep resonance with all who read it.

We find this passage at the conclusion of The Return of the King:

The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him, and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the devices of his enemies were at last laid bare.

Adversaries in the stories that Tolkien drew upon, Grendel, Mordred and the like, often served as obstacles that the heroes could overcome through feats of strength and cunning. Sauron is not like them. When Sauron is defeated, it is not because Aragorn is stronger than him or because Gandalf is wiser. They are not. It is only that his hubris was so great that it never occured to him that anyone would want to destroy the thing he held so dear. It is not until the final few seconds of his existence that he realises his mistake.

I think that I Am Jazz displays a similar moment. In the pictured scene, Jazz's journey to what he believes is womanhood is almost complete. He is resting after surgery, a triumphant smile on his face, his rotting groin held together by a labyrinthine patchwork of stitches and grafts. But as Eru Ilúvatar nudged Gollum over the Crack of Doom into the fires beneath, so too does the God of our world intervene in this.

Pop!

In a second, the follies of men are undone and Jazz's crotch explodes, a meaty froth of blood and pus pouring out of the hole where his penis used to be.

In that moment of blind panic and terror, Jazz is Sauron. All triumph and victory is gone. Only the Void remains.

For me, it's the worst sub on Reddit. It started as a funny place to laugh about the shitposts on /r/gaming, and suddenly was taken over by the PC crowd who act as the retarded counterweight to KiA.

That almost always happens, over time you usually have to pick a side or everyone will feel alienated and leave.

This twitter account is pretty much the only gaymer jerk I've seen so far that is shitting on everyone.

Strange times

They used to make fun of reddits love for certain corporations like valve. Now that rage baiting videos have become a thing, and gaymers are mad at gaming publishers all the time, they take the opposite view. I like changing my political views to feel superior to others, so I get it.

The place is called gaming counterjerk for a reason

Circlejerk*

Gamers are rising up

who now use it as the retarded counterweight to KiA.

Its over for ghazicels

I couldn't imagine that a sub dedicated to making fun of a subreddit as shitty as gaming could be worse but here we are.

You know that "Fucking my little sister to own the libs" meme? GCJ is the liberal equivalent, it's insane how willing leftists are to choke on some big cooperate dick to own the gamers.

I thought GCJ stood for gendercirclejerk which would be a good sub for drama

/r/gamersriseup seems to be the exact same thing too. i'm not sure why they need two whiny subreddits to talk about the gravest threat to the world - gamers

It's bizarre. If you told me these subs were all a sophisticated smear campaign by Catholic Mothers Against Video Games, I'd believe you.

Worse than cringeanarchy?

What is “cringeanarchy”?

The movies one is worse because it promotes the idea that capeshit has artistic merit

“Taken over by the PC crowd” DAE le calling out sexism and racism bad?

Okay, i'll bite

Nah, there's just no other way around it. I know ''sjw'' and ''PC culture'' is beaten to death, but that's literally the best term to describe what goes on there. The ideia of ''XCirclejerk'' subs tend to be; ''people from X sub who aknowledge a lot of shitposts happen at X, so they joke about it on XCirclejerk''. And that's how GCJ started; gamers mocking shitposts on gaming. Nowadays the sub is literally ''dae le gamers racist mysoginistic??''. It's not gamers mocking other gamers in goodfaith, it's literally people who hate gaming/gamers.

This but unironically

Begone, Chapocel.

I don't know what you're on about. This is fucking gold.

Both sides being absolutely retards.

I like the horses in the horsehoes because the horses all get fucked tented and injected.

Lmao gamers are sooo reactionary and overblow things, take them out of context to satisfy their reactionary views. There's nothing wrong with MK11 and they turn it into a white genocide.

Oh BTW Catherine is SOOOOO transphobic, gross.

I'm glad we at GCJ are not like the other gamers, blowing shit out of proportion 😃

gotta get autism fast 2

ew

I'm fast as fuck boiii

Ew gross yikes

Ah, Atlus is against LGBT? As a trans lesbian who loves the Persona series this sure is disappointing

Sometimes I wonder if persecution was right all along.

Sometimes I wonder if persecution was a necessary evil.

In Catherine Full body, Erica doesn't actually detransition. Catherine goes back in time and enters Vincent's life before he gets to meet Katherine. In that ending, we see pre transition Erica talking to her love interest Toby and it's heavily implied she's still trans, she just transitions to be with him.

the fuck am I reading? have you ever considered putting your autism to actual good use instead of wasting it on virtual toys /u/stonedkyuby?

I cant even follow that paragraph.

Tinfoil hat conspiracy time: MK11 has been getting blasted in reviews, and has a supposedly ridiculous microtransaction model. What if this white supremacy fake outrage was concocted from the inside to distract from what actually makes the game bad? Being able to call anyone who criticises the game a white supremacist is certainly a good tool for suppressing negative opinions.

getting blasted in reviews metacritic score 83

My mistake, I could have sworn it was getting destroyed. Maybe that's just user reviews because of the microtransactions.

look up the user reviews, both in metacritic and steam

User reviews are by 11 year old smoothbrains who just watch you tubers and regurgitate what they hear. MK11 doesn’t even have micro transactions for a majority of cosmetics, it’s just grindy. You earn cosmetics by playing.

That's everyone that buys the game tho

Ok you got me there

implying we should give a shit what game journos think

It's on 50% on steam right now.

Lol steam reviews

Wouldn't be the first time, IIRC Sony did the same thing with Ghostbusters.

There's also the tiny little thing that netherealms abused the shit out of its employes and forced ridiculous ammounts of crunch time on them with 100 hours per week being the standard, to the point where multiple employees have spoken out against it, but jax be w👁ke so kindly let that slip under the rug.

Wasn't that Epic games doing the 100 hour per week shit?

Nearly all of them are. Game devs are basically working in sweatshops.

It was the writers (just five of them) at Rockstar Games.

Netherealms? Who is that?

guys who made mortal combat

The game really isn't any different to previous MK's IMO. The combat system is a bit different and overall I prefer MK10, BUT if you're criticising a fighting game for anything other than the gameplay then why choose to be alive??

If the bad story or Mtx remotely bothers you then why are you playing the genre anyway? 'DLC' characters have been a thing for the last 10 years and the 'Mtx' can be completely ignored as all of it can be unlocked the same way as the previous 2 installments.

You're a retard if you buy the Mtx in MK11 but if your ADHD riddled brain can't stop yourself from throwing money at the screen then you SHOULD have to pay more to play the game, it's not like you were going to do anything useful with the money anyway, the people who you gave your money to know how to spend it better

Gcj at some point was a good funny idea, I can't pinpoint where it fell apart

When BFV came around and the sub got invaded by leftoids and chapos

It was bad even before that though

/uj terrible smugposting

/rj terrible smugposting

KIAcels are pretty retarded though.

There's this webcomic writer who focuses on deep philosophical topics and all his characters are historical philosophers and he unironically can't stop bringing up "goobergators" five fucking years afterwards

That sounds like the gayest, most pretentious, thing ever.

Oh baybee, you have no idea

'unjerk' posters on a circlejerk sub should be stoned to death.

/s

/s posters get the stone too

You mean the autism tag?

The userbase of GCJ should be rounded up and [REDACTED BY ANTI-EVIL OPERATIONS]

GCJ isn't even a circlejerk anymore, its a soapbox for retards

the fact that every comment has /uj has proof of that

GCJ used to be funny, sad what it’s become

also imagine needing to label everything you say because you’re unable to differentiate between agendaposting and shitposting

Best part is usually the ''uj'' is even more retarded than the ''rj''

holy shit Im getting cancer typing those letters

I thought these people would have loved it if the blacks never made it to the US?

GCJ once was a place to laugh at ga*ers but now they just do the funny EA Bad and this is literally white genocide etc. It's so shitty that they even attack PewDieCels who are 14 year old.
