Post "representation" of minorities in media (any) that seriously made you contemplate a conspiracy theory that they were written&directed by crypto reactionaries deliberately trying to make said minorities look awful.

she could've been more interesting (maybe better) then the comic version if they didn't fucked the character in S1

>>45076
You won't believe it if you haven't heard of this series before, but Dragon Age was originally dark fantasy.

The Qunari, the two arguing in that clip, were first introduced as this ultra-conservative religious group from foreign lands. The second game retconned them into Tiefling Klingons, the third game retconned them again as being way more tolerant and accepting, then this game goes "fuck the Qun" anyway for having any customs at all I guess.

Bioware has been fucking Dragon Age for a while now, but this latest game really takes the cake.

>>45076
Visuals were fine for the first two games, then Inquisitions rolled out with the worst armor designs I have ever seen in a video game, but now surpassed by its sequel. This is atrocious.

>>45085
It's a shame because they were one of the interesting things to come out of the game. It's been a while since I played, but they were sort of religious communists weren't they? Lile I thought the idea was that everyone had a religiously dictated place in society, so on one hand you have guaranteed social welfare as long as you stay where you belong, but on the other there's no real means of social advancement or alternatives outside of your prescribed role. I kind of vaguely remember this causing friction between a qun party member and female members of your party since in their society women were supposed to be artists, scholars, and crafters and shit like that so the big qun was triggered.

But then the meme of them being "muslim coded" took off and they couldn't be a flawed society any more.

I don't know if this counts, but the entirety of Dustborn felt like a parody of a "left-wing game" made by a reactionary.

I would never forgive this overrated reactionary weak-chinned motherfucker for ruining fantasy forever via choosing the word "race" to describe difference between elves, orcs, dwarfs and hobbits, instead of "kind", "kindred", "ilk" or something other. Now all speculative fiction (no, really, not just fantasy) that deals with multiple sapient species co-existing in the same setting is connected with a real-world race theory/white supremacy, which is absolutely monstrous. You're a fucking linguist, Professor, you SHOULD have known better!

Is he, or are you thinking of Lewis Carroll?

>>45028
Errr yes I believe I was.

Fair but no need to focus on this over him ruining fantasy by reducing it to allegories and circlejerking of British "culture". But I fully believe whatever damage Tolkien initially caused, those dumb GI Jerkoffs Gygax and Arneson enshrined
And Moorcock was right btw

Ranking installments of everyone's favorite transphobic white angloid attempt at writing shonen with antisemitic undertones because my 50 y.o. mom is a Rickman/Snape fan and forces our entire family to rewatch all of the movies each holiday season.

Worst - Prisoner of Azkaban. Really unpopular opinion, but I feel this is the messiest out of the early books, with a generic "believe in yourself to deafeat a monster (dementor)" shonen message told with the help of the atrocious time travel subplot (JKR's worst mistake besides, y'know, becaming a far-right grifter) and untolerable for me at least amount of quidditch padding.

5th place - Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows (ranked as one book because HBP is just a set-up for DH's story, it would have pretty much zero literary value as a standalone book) A dissapointing end to the series. Voldermort fully turns into a cartoon villain and stops being a credible threeat to any minimally adult reader (despite showing signs of being capable of more in GoF and OoF). Also I hate how Voldemort invokes Hitler symbolism despite, if anything, having more in common with Grand Wizard (pun intended) of the Klan. The story becames irredeemably reactionary, with Voldemort being defeated by the mystical "power of love", Dumbledore being venerated as a saint by the narrative (despite there being a fucking perfect set-up to make him a "second main villain"), Hermione accepting the naturality of the House Elves' slavery and Harry becaming a wizarding cop treated as a happy ending.

4th place - Philosopher's Stone. I know it was intended as purely children's book originally, but it still looks intolerably cartoony and cheesy compared to the later parts.

The series started going to shit after the Goblet of Fire, because Voldemort stopped being a cartoon villain that essentially ended every book saying "FOILED AGAIN! BLAST THAT HARRY POTTER AND HIS MEDDLING FRIENDS! I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME HARRY! NEXT TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!" because he got resurrected and became a clumsy Hitler allegory instead. After that point, it felt like the books forgot that they're whimsical fairy tales about a magical school and started trying to be serious, which put Rowling a bit out of her element. What's more, she basically set herself up for failure because she essentially began to make the books more and more into a sort of faux political allegory, which meant that she doomed the books to have a shitty ending because her own politics wouldn't allow for anything that would approach a good ending.

The best moment in the entire franchise was when in Fantastic Beats 2 Grindelwald revealed that another World War was imminent and that it was the Wizard's responsibility to reveal the secret to prevent it. In this moment Grindelwald actually became for a brief moment a somewhat cool and serious villain, an not basically just gay Voldemort 2. Two bad they never seriously followed up on that motif and went with some shitty convoluted electoralist story instead, again.

The true synthesis between

-wizards stay in hiding and fight the supremacists

and

-wizards reveal their existence and oppress the humans

would have obviously been:

-Wizards reveal their existence and use their powers for the good of society abolishing the present state of things to live with humans in harmony or whatever.

But no the noble lie needs to persist because le system works liberalism something.

Since Star Wars got a thread why can’t this? Discuss anything you like of the universe. lore, art, diy modeling or even Marxist critique of the setting and gw parasitic relationship with it.

>Why waste the time and resources for the extra step required
Something the imperium famously never does! You might as well argue against the gold armor or get offended by female members of the imperial guard.

>>41831
>>41832
My point is that a highly patriarchal empire isn't going to go for females because they won't see the point of it and again the point stands, the lore on it is that they are the SONS of traitors and are called MEN by the Emperor so the claim that there were always women in their ranks or the claim that the lore does not contradict there being women in the Custodes ranks is untrue and IS a retcon. The company CAN retcon it, but they cannot legitimately claim that it "isn't actually a retcon" as they and their defenders have attempted to. Furthermore, it's a tabletop game, literally nothing is stopping people from playing it how they like, including making a female Custodes and ignoring the lore (as people have been doing for Space-Marines and others for years anyway, it's been done before. The company knows this so the only reason they're making this a public retcon announcement is for liberal clout and Edrama, successfully so.

>>41705
>The lore literally says there are no female Custodes and explains WHY, so retroactively changing this is retarded tokenistic pandering
>The lore literally says there are no female Custodes and explains WHY, so retroactively changing this is retarded tokenistic pandering
I think people want female space marines because they're noobs so accusing them of tokenistic pandering is just jumping to conclusions but you're otherwise correct. I also used to think it would be cool to see female space marines (I like Samus Aran) but now I know the lore and the fact that Sisters of Battle exist.
>in doing so, you lose the entire Roman-fascist satire that The Imperium is about as >>41704 mentions
I thought it meant to be an ironic twist on the progressive Enlightenment values that shows how they themselves can become conservative. Stirner pointed out the hypocrisy of liberal humanism and pious atheism a long time ago, 40k is just a more blatant attempt at that. So I think the Imperium is meant to be a kind of progressive fascism, the kind of fascism Marinetti originally envisioned, and 40k shows how much it would still suck ass.

So yeah, I think the Imperium is meant to be progressive. But progressive in a regressive way, the kind of progressivism we mock nowadays. Not the same as idpol tho, more like Enlightenment values driven to their logical conclusion of human supremacy and a religious devotion to the state and the God of Atheism (personified in-universe as the God-Emperor as a form of twisted irony).

>>41703
ones of the problems with making fun off rightoids is you can say the dumbest shit you can possibly think of and they'll unironically be like "literally me bro". I could deadass make a joke abt rightoids not showering but they alr go on rants about the fucking showerjew.

>>45013
>I also used to think it would be cool to see female space marines (I like Samus Aran) but now I know the lore and the fact that Sisters of Battle exist.
On the other hand, trans space marines can still be a thing. Like, space marines were already turned into these giant throbbling pieces of meat so they already had surgery on their bodies technically, it only makes sense to go even further and just transition.

Crazy idea maybe but I think we should have a gambling thread. I know I get it lumpenprole degeneracy and all. But so fucking what? You really want to debate refutations and all that, save it for the thread. A lot of us are Americans here unfortunately and if you ask me there's no bigger gamble than living under American style capitalism. So, fuck it. All I can really do is pray to the gods of luck.

Only gambling with money I've done is arknights and honestly with how fair it is it's pretty much a glorified donate button.

Oh and technically tf2 crates but like I got a Cat's Pajamas for my pyro first try and never touched crates thereon because the bot crisis started soon after so I didn't get to play tf2 much. The bot crisis seems to be over but I'm not that interested in multiplayer shooters anymore tbh.

If only all gambling was like that…

We have no history of travel.So many people out there say they love traveling and will happily tell you about all the places they been to and sights they’ve seen and where they want to go to next. It’s also one of the first things people say they would do if they had more time and money.

But traveling sucks. It’s expensive and tedious. You have to pack, organise a passport, deal with airports, security and there’s just so much waiting! And that’s if everything goes to plan and to schedule. Things can easily get canceled or postponed. Then you’ve got jet lag to deal with, different currencies, language barriers, etc.

Even if you’re not going overseas/flying it’s not like road tripping is any better. Sitting in a car for hours on end just plain sucks.

And don’t think I’m only hating on the actual transport, being away from home sucks too. Whether you’re staying in a hotel or an Airbnb or camping or whatever, you’re away from home and all your things; you’re own bed, your own room, your pets, all your other bits and pieces that make your home your own.

I traveled for about 6 months straight. The novelty wears off real fast when you switch countries. Packing, moving, sightseeing become the new norm. All the tourist sites meld together. Its always some variation of malls, architecture, nature, food etc. At the end I just wanted a stable place to be home and rot. There is no escape from ennui and the boredom of life. The best way to travel is if you really have a reason to go there, not to be some aimless bum trying to find meaning or something. Do the same shit you would do at home in a new place and just try living like a local, its better than instatourism or whatever social media bs.

they won in the end tho? like yeah the fall of france in ww2 is kinda embarassing but being nazi germany is even more embarassing

<but they punched so far above their weight!


who cares, they still lost, if you start a war which you're bound to lose you get no credit for temporary victories during it

I went on a pilgrimage to all socialist countries (except north Korea) and all the former socialist countries in the eastern bloc. Well worth it IMO though if I were to do it again I'd spend more time in Cuba and china and less in eastern Europe which frankly sucks.

watched DO NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH FROM THE END OF THE WORLD recently, it was pretty good though lagged a bit in the first half, recommend if you're into 'capitalist realism' type stuff, reminded me of la haine but romanian lol

They Live is the greatest of all time

>>44982
john Carpenter is the GOAT, I personally preferred "the thing" and escape from new york though.

They live is overrated and lends itself to anti semitic interpretations

I'm looking for good movie piracy websites in the year of our lord 2k + 24
Any recommendations from the knowledgeable comrades?
Also why is there a minimum character limit? Who made this site? (bruh how is it still too short?)

>>44620
char limit is supposed to be only 50 chars

Type "site:rutracker.org + query" into a search engine. You don"/ have to worry aboit making an account or anything that way. Best torrent site
You can find most well known music in FLAC and even obscure stuff in FLAC that you can't find on any other torrent site.

>>44623
The site crashed, backups didn't work, and got reset to factory defaults, it wasn't that short pre-outage.
