Should i just be pirating games?

So i earn the minimum wage and i cant afford most game because they usually cost around 24-27% of the money i earn, i usually buy stuff on sale because i like to 100% games on steam (even tho ppl say its worthless) i kinda wanted to play death stranding 2 but then again it costs around 25% of my wage that could be going to important things. i'm torn between spending this money on a game or just saving for basic needs. is pirating games on this scenario the best course of action?

Can I be religious and an egoist?

Yeah I know religion is a spook but I was raised christian (half nondemoniational, half catholic) my entire life and I truly feel deep down that jesus christ died for our sins. The whole point of egoism is not confining yourself to frameworks that opress the unique, so why should I be forbidden to engage in what the creator of ideology considered to be a spook? By the way I'm not homophobic, I'm actually queer myself, many parts of the bible were edited and mistranslated over the years and homosexuality is only condemned in the old testament along with eating pork and divorce.

Games the chuds tricked you into buying

With the amount of shill threads about Stellar Blade I kept seeing on 4chan /v/ saying it was a "decent action game" I ended up buying it along with some other games for my brother's birthday last year (at great expense as it's a modern video game and all). He never touched it so I finally gave the demo a go myself to see if it was worth the hype.

It was a Sekiro-like. and not even that great a one. It almost seems like it was hyped to shit because it had attractive girls in skintight suits and almost only because of that. I had more fun with Devil's Third of all games.

problemas con la teoría del consentimiento

En 2024, Haz Al-Din, figura destacada del Partido Comunista Estadounidense (ACP), afirmó que un hombre era violado por una mujer trans si esta no revelaba previamente su transición de género, lo que generó controversia entre algunos sectores de la izquierda: https://xcancel.com/secondbyfarce/status/1852772181073445357

Si bien la postura de Haz puede resultar desconcertante y perturbadora para algunos, en el contexto del consentimiento en la intimidad sexual, tiene razón, ya que simplemente aplica la lógica de la violación como falta de consentimiento hasta sus últimas consecuencias.

Porque, seamos realistas: el consentimiento, como señalaron figuras como Harry Hay y Michel Foucault, no es más que la teoría liberal del contrato aplicada al sexo, y un contrato se anula si se celebra bajo falsas pretensiones. No finjamos que los contratos se celebran en el vacío, ya que su validez no es un juicio neutral de una figura imparcial, sino más bien una decisión de los poderes fácticos (por ejemplo, el Estado) bajo dictados culturales dominantes o burgueses.

Así pues, a menos que creas que el consentimiento no debería ser absoluto en las relaciones sexuales, entonces que una mujer trans tenga relaciones sexuales con un hombre cisgénero heterosexual sin revelar su género previo a la transición es violación, al igual que el sexo por engaño es violación, y ninguno de los dos está penalizado ni siquiera en los países más feministas como Noruega, Suecia, Islandia, Dinamarca, Estados Unidos, Canadá, Australia, Reino Unido y Francia. ¿Qué dice esto de la teoría del consentimiento si ni siquiera los países más feministas del mundo penalizan el sexo por engaño como violación?

Luego, por supuesto, está el tema de la Ley de Consentimiento, una legislación burguesa draconiana y absolutista utilizada por la burguesía capitalista para disciplinar moralmente a la clase trabajadora en una moral burguesa antiproletaria desde los tiempos del infame periodismo de prensa amarilla de William T. Stead. En este caso, una persona menor de la edad mínima no puede (legalmente) consentir a tener relaciones sexuales con alguien mayor de esa edad. Los argumentos idealistas comunes a menudo aluden a una noción inconsistente y arbitraria de "madurez mental" que es altamente subjetiva dependiendo de quién la use, mientras oscurecen el meollo del asunto: no es que las personas menores de la edad mínima sean incapaces de ser parejas sexuales y/o románticas consensuales, sino que el Estado decidió que la edad mínima invalida el consentimiento de la persona menor de esa edad (que va de 12 años en Cuba a 21 en Bahréin), por lo tanto, es "violación estatutaria". Pero si se trata de «violación estatutaria», ¿cómo es posible que la persona menor de edad fuera una pareja voluntaria? Las soluciones idealistas van desde clichés simplistas como el «manipulación» (también conocido como seducción y atracción) hasta elaborados mitos sobre la supuesta naturaleza neurológica del cerebro, pero todas ignoran que las razones culturalmente condicionadas y los profundos intereses económicos son los principales motores, ya que gran parte de la censura actual y del complejo industrial penitenciario dependen del estigma causado por la edad de consentimiento. Esto demuestra que no solo la «violación estatutaria» y el «abuso sexual infantil» son ficción jurídica, sino también que lo que determina la nulidad de un contrato no lo determina una entidad imparcial como el Estado burgués moderno, y lo mismo ocurre con quién puede o no firmar un contrato.

De hecho, volviendo a las mujeres trans, si bien se podría argumentar que los hombres cisheterosexuales que se niegan a tener sexo con ellas son transfóbicos y reaccionan violentamente porque lo ven como una afrenta a su sexualidad, eso aún no abordaría el problema de celebrar un contrato bajo falsas pretensiones en el caso de mujeres trans que mienten sobre haber sido asignadas mujeres al nacer para tener sexo con hombres cisheterosexuales, ni el hecho de que el dolor de la violación es principalmente psicológico en lugar de físico (más aún para personas de entre 20 y 40 años), lo que hace que el desestimiento de las preocupaciones de los hombres cisheterosexuales en este caso sea inconsistente a menos que pienses que el sexo por engaño no es violación. Lo mismo sucede con el escándalo de Weinstein, donde solo se puede considerar al viejo Harvey un "violador" si piensas que retirarse de un contrato después de que el trato se haya hecho lo hace nulo, considerando cuántas de esas actrices hicieron favores sexuales a cambio de papeles en películas incluso si podrían haberse negado y tenían muchas opciones en ese momento y solo lo consideraron violación años después de los hechos. Incluso en este caso, a menos que se considere el consentimiento como el criterio absoluto para determinar qué es o no violación, Weinstein técnicamente no es un "violador" según la opinión pública, ya que, según las pruebas judiciales, nunca forzó sexualmente a nadie.

Esto nos lleva, en última instancia, al problema de tratar una actividad tan simple y dependiente del contexto como el sexo como un asunto contractual, así como a cómo la gente común, tanto aquí como fuera de este foro, no ha reflexionado lo suficiente sobre las implicaciones de la violación como falta de consentimiento. Si toda relación heterosexual puede considerarse violación si uno de los miembros de la pareja rechaza o se retira del acuerdo por completo, si algún tecnicismo que uno o ambos miembros de la pareja consideran trivial se utiliza como factor para anular el acuerdo por parte del Estado, ¿qué dice esto sobre el liberalismo que La teoría contractual como forma de regular la sexualidad, heterosexual o no?

Are the Cartels a western backed intelligence operation?

I live in the United States and I have not spent nearly as much time researching the contemporary politics of Latin America as much as I have for other parts of the world, so I was wondering if you guys could tell me if the Cartels are to Latin America what ISIS is to the Middle East, a western backed intelligence operation that America used 3rd parties to fund so it can destabilize resource-rich nations and then intervene in them. I have heard this accusation before but it is hard to research it because Google ain’t gonna tell you shit, but I just find it really suspicious how Trump pardoned the Honduran president who was connected to the Cartel.

I had a rather odd dream. It lacked any clarity when it comes to plot, everything was inherently messily ordered. I saw a samodiva. Violet eyes, long silver hair, a veil, pale skin. But she had a smile. A smile too wide for her facial muscles to handle. Her teeth sharp. She was covered in blood, she grasped onto a sword. We were in a dark cave that collapsed in on itself after i felt her bloody hand on my shoulder. She said one thing - "Vitosha is your new home".

The next day, after I woke up, I just puked violently.

Is there anything in anime and manga that hasn’t been discussed yet?

I lurked across many anime forums, and at this point I don’t think there’s any interesting discourse to be had, leftist or rightist, regarding anime. Of course, due to Sturgeon’s law, few anime are actual gems. But that’s not the point. The point is that:

Is there any point in re-hashing the same old arguments.

Last time I remember, the only engaging discourses among weebs were about Frieren and Drama Queen, but for different reasons.

Frieren moreso for its depiction of demons and its comparisons to Tolkien’s orcs. For those who don’t know, a YouTuber named Lextorias made an hour-long video discussing the narrative problems with demons and the manga’s/anime’s inconsistent portrayal of demons as being absolutely evil, explaining via both in-story and authorial reasons for it, coming to the conclusion that Frieren’s demons are just a badly-written species. What was the reaction to it? Chuds coming out in defense of the series and attacking Lextorias with the kind of arguments he himself predicted and criticised in his own video: https://www.lextorias.com/references/frieren-dilemma/

Suffice to say, he singlehandedly managed to create an entire discourse that lasted for days in Twitter as culture war BS.

Coming up next is Drama Queen, a manga that is yet to be adapted into an anime, and highly unlikely. It’s about humans living alongside with aliens who saved them from an asteroid impact. It would’ve been another slice of life manga if it wasn’t for the fact that it caught weebs’ attention due to the MCs being sociopaths who hate the aliens and are contracted by a shady org that makes a profit off of killing the alien residents whose head is a dude with a double life as an “anti-racist” professor, with said aliens being pompous and arrogant foreigners who are taking up human life.
Long story short, people caught on it as a Japanese commentary on modern immigration to Japan with said aliens being allegory for immigrants. Which immigrants (white expats, Chinese house buyers, US troops, POC non-Japanese immigrants, etc…) is debated, but it’s clearly about immigration from a right-wing POV so far, although we’ll see how it goes since the story is still being published.

But yh, there’s no interesting discussion to be had as these themes have already been discussed to death on mainstream social media.

If anything, it would be more interesting to discuss what it would like to have robots create weebslop for robot otakus to consume, creating a cashless society out of weebslop.

Anyway, imma finna go smoke weed. ✌️

Has anime gotten chuddier?

https://thecartdriver.wordpress.com/2020/02/14/psycho-pass-carole-and-tuesday-and-more-why-anime-features-anti-immigration-elections/

I see a lot of people like in the article’s author, especially leftists, talk about it, and honestly? I’m not seeing it, at all. Maybe because I haven’t been active in the anime fandom for a decade by now (last discourse I got caught up in was the dumb flame war over “elitists” vs “casuals” on MAL), or maybe because I only consoome old (read: 1990s, 2000s and early 2010s) media because I don’t like much of contemporary media, but can’t say with certainty, but I just don’t see it.

Sure, perhaps the proportion of Japanese creators being chuds increased in recent years, but I don’t see that being particularly well-reflected in the current output of the Japanese animation and comic industries. The political messaging of 20th century and early 2000s anime and manga seems to be same as 2020s anime and manga insofar that both are all over the place in equal amounts.

Among “chuddy” anime, I can only think of GATE (literal JSDF propaganda), HighSchool Of The Dead (zombie shounen ecchi horror with big tiddie girls made by a far-right mangaka who hates leftists, supports the JSDF, a gun nut, and hates Koreans), and Frieren (what with the genocided human-like predatory demons being portrayed in deterministic ways in spite of showing signs of actual sapience the story never addresses), but that’s about it.

As for manga, the best I can think of as of late is Drama Queen with many seeing the aliens as allegory for immigrants in Japan, although many can’t decide if they’re supposed to be stand-ins for American/Euro expats, tourists, East Asian renters, SEA and SA migrant workers, Kurdish refugees, or a pastiche of all of them. But that’s like an exception compared to the shit-ton of manga that pushes feminist, anti-racist and other socially progressive themes.

I think it has already been discussed before, but Japan being NPC-topia combined with how being a busherite is deemed as the most acceptable way to express oneself in Japanese politics as opposed to, say, being a Maoist might have a lot to do with why a lot of mangakas seem to be chuds, which is easy as the majority of Japanese people in general are disconnected in politics. In fact, the biggest political rallies in recent times are those for pensioner rights, and Japan can be tentatively argued to be a “dictatorship” by the same standards we use to describe Singapore, what with both countries being governed by the same right to centre right party for almost their entire existence, and most liberals regard Singapore as more of a benevolent dictatorship despite having elections, so there’s that.

With that said, I don’t really see any noticeable increase in chud-coded manga and anime, at least not among normie spaces. And of the ones that exist, they’re more of an exception than the norm. In fact, “Psycho-Pass 3” and “20th Century Boys” are the only instances in modern anime and manga in the mainstream market that I remember where the subject of immigration to Japan in modern times has ever been broached without resorting to fantastical allegories like in “Cop Craft”, and all of them treated it neutrally. So I think this concern among leftists is overblown.

But feel free to disagree with me. I don’t think I’m bringing anything new to the table, I just want to be proven wrong.

The show version is so bad. At least the video game version looked like she could actually scrap with mfs and had some semblance of actual humanity even while killing Joel. This version of Abby is just cruel and emotionally immature. The video game version of Abby literally didn’t derive any pleasure from killing Joel and didn’t take an eternity in killing Joel in front of his loved ones. In fact, game Abby even had to calm her own friends down to focus on the needs of her own people.

Amazon fucking butchered Abby and made her into a mindless knockoff meant to avoid whatever criticism coomers had about a woman looking like she could survive the shit she had to put up with. Fuck Amazon Abby.

Name of a Pre-WW2 German Author

what was the name of that pre-WW2 German author that wrote how stereotypically non "aryan" germans were typically the most fanatical Nazis because they knew that they were on the fringe of being considered racially acceptable. Note how the entire high command of the nazi apparatus were a men who were mostly dark-haired, brown-eyed and somewhat short by german standards and who personally proved the lunacy of the aryan "race" as a concept by their mere existence

What is the material explanation for the convergence between those within the transfemme identity group and those who are into racial fetishism, wherein that racial fetishism is predicated on reactionary, right wing rhetoric, ie the BNWO? Further, how does this intersection of identity groups reduce the capacity for working class solidarity, and whom is creating the bulk of the content that fuels this fetish, certainly something of this nature cannot be organic, given it's right wing nature. Ergo, who is profiting from the propaganda, and what other reasons do they have for creating it?

I was looking at some games for reference, and I found Silent Hill f. One thing that stunned me was how bad the game is designed.

The dialogue is bland and boring. Character lines reveal nothing and the conversation is horribly tense for no reason. The characters are young but nothing about them suggests that. It's like they are middle-aged people going through midlife crisis.

The animations are silly. Enemies react far later after being struck and their movement is repetitive. The atmosphere is horrible too. They used too much fog and darkness and blurring, they actually removed details from the game and because of that it looks monochromatic terrible blend.

Hinako has plot armor. Just when she meets her first monster, she conveniently finds a steel pipe right beside her feet to attack it with. There's a lot of reading for instructions in the game.

And the story is junk. Sakuko never said anything about wanting to live in a candy store instead of a shrine. In fact, she dies early in the game very quickly and her relationship to Hinako is shown to be negative further reinforcing you shouldn't care about her. But when Hinako finds her dead, a dramatic cutscene plays and where Hinako is sobbing after she moved Sakuko's body into a candy store, and it's there where she says Sakuko always wanted to live in a candy store. Later in the cutscenes, she clenches her fist in anger and says she will keep her promise to Sakuko. But what promise? Did I miss it? I'm sure there was no promise.

The level design its horrible and extremely linear in a strange fashion. I thought games that put roadblocks in your way to keep to the map are dead but in this one, there's a lot of blocked roads.

Overall I'd rate it:
2/5 – story
4/5 – graphics
1/5 – level design
1/5 – mechanics
In total I'd give 2/5

How did it get the ratings it did in the pic

Communist or Commie Adjacent Shows

Hello Sisters and Brothers, I'm looking for some recommendations for TV shows to watch that have a communist tilt to them, or are straight up communist.

It has been such a pain in the ass trying to watch a show that isn't either subtly Zionist or just straight up pro-US imperialism. Watching Scrubs and the Afghanistan war episode comes up. Watching Modern Family and there's constant references to Bar Mitzvahs (with Israeli flags). Watching fucking Hannah Montana and there's a Afghan war episode. Like I know that's ridiculous to mention but I'm trying to say the rot runs deep in essentially every piece of media we watch

I have included The Good Place as good example because although it's not explicitly communist, it is a show all about how Capitalism has made the world hell and only revolution can solve the problem but it still kinda distances itself from that by saying "revolution in the afterlife only". Still the best we've got

Does anyone have any recommendations for stuff to watch?

Are normies really THAT trans/homophobic?

Looking online, it might seem that way. But maybe it's just a couple percent of mentally ill sadists who scream louder than everyone else? As I recall from school (I've been NEET for a long time now and don't have any relevant personal experience), only 30% of students were bullies; the rest either did nothing or indulged them, but without much motivation.

How do I stop semi-hrtrepping?

Ive been on hrt for about 3.8 years now and I cannot for the life of me feel comfortable telling others that im trans. Im surrounded by supportive people (who know im on hrt) but I still feel so fucking ashamed anytime I try to call myself a woman. I guess I know deep down that Im a trans girl, and I hate hate hate being perceived as a boy, it just feels so forbidden to call myself trans. I keep trying to convince myself im just a cis man with some weird disorder . Im just hoping that this will change once/if I start passing. I boymode 24/7. I feel like my quality of life would be so much better if I just told the people I talk with that im a trans women, but i just CANT. And yeah i know im probally pretty retarded

i just realized that there is no point to being intellectually rigorous anymore. nobody cares. human beings do not concern themselves with truth. we are just selfish animals who love violence and imposing our will on whatever and whomever we can.

even if you do find some people who see through the madness and refuse to go along with it, you are completely ruled by the material reality and the enforcement of consensus from the masses and the ruling class. isolation is the only solution, but capitalism is like a predator that never sleeps, never stops, never rests. it comes for you eventually like death.
