Can someone explain what the issue with this is? I’m sure there’s some legitimate gripe but so far, in between the memes about people joining forces to stop this cartoon, all I’ve been able to surmise is that people think the style is ugly (even though it looks the same as 80% of cartoon network stuff), and that there are people calling it “heterophobic” and crying that the villains are straight or something.

Are there any non manosphere people that can explain what the big fuss is?

As a single player gamer, I’m already dealing with aging hardware and the expensive prospect of ever replacing it by sticking to mainly ‘retro’ style cosy games. Or actual retro games via emulation.

I’m already so far out of the loop with modern 3D games with ray tracing and individual strands of hair rendered that need billion dollar super computers to run, that I ran out of FOMO long ago. That’s stuff for rich kids or people who landed a job that pays more than just to survive.

The way I see it, this is just the nature of the meme. People make memes, people take memes, and they travel around the world wide web, and end up with ifunny and 9gag and collegehumor watermarks, and in the form of badly cropped screenshots. That logo is just a scar that this wild meme picked up somewhere along the way. It’s just nature.

Most ‘nerd’ stuff. Comic book movie discussion has gone to shit because people have become weird about it. When it’s not manosphere bullshit, it’s people expecting Endgame level quality and stakes for every single movie now, who would’ve shat on Iron Man if it came out today, and who need to be reminded of the absolute horse shit that we used to get. They’re starting to rival the Star Wars fans in terms of being insufferable.

Outside of the cosy games spaces that I’ve been hanging around, all I ever hear from Gamers™ is some controversy about a female character being a game. Or gasp a black character. They’re happy with the main protagonist being a woman if the jiggle psychics are set to max though.

And online at least, the alternative scene has gone to shit. People from the anti jock subcultures started listening to jocks with microphones on podcasts. People who grew up listening to Jonathan Davis singing about being called a “faget”, went on to become people who call others “betas”. Metal went from representing rebellion to representing people who go “stop making it political”.

And so many ‘punks’ seem to have become Joe Rogan fans too. I’ve even had to argue with people calling me a “woke lefty” in fan spaces for The Clash. We all laughed when Joe Rogan said “conservative is the new punk” but it’s an even bigger joke because half the people that took his word for it were punks.

Same. The cosy games fandom tends to be alright though. Less neckbeards and people that hammer their own faces.

I wish I could agree, but from the UK to Germany to Australia to South Africa, not insignificant amounts of people have taken a look at the USA and gone “I want some of that too”. At least Americans had the ‘excuse’ of thinking they were gonna get cheaper eggs or some shit. But the people who have had the advantage of watching this unfold from the outside and still want their own wannabe MAGA movements, are just trash with no excuse.

I think a 3rd of the world will celebrate, a 3rd will cry, and the other 3rd won’t be able to tell the difference between the other two.

100% agreed. Centrists are probably even lower lifeforms than right wingers. With right wingers, you know what you’re getting but centrists are too fucking stupid to be able to tell bullies and the victims of bullying apart. They enable bullies but start with their “can’t we all just get along” bullshit the moment the victims start fighting back.

And even if they’re on your side now, they might stab you in the back when the wind changes direction tomorrow.

One thing that the right wingers have done is prove that the literally old guard, liberal status quo has been taking us all for a ride for decades, worldwide. Any actual meaningful progress has always taken decades of activism and protestors being locked up and overpaid VIP politicians sitting around tables talking. Just for right wingers to come along and undo all of that slow progress and achieve their goals within months.

Once the right wingers are dealt with, the two faced liberal rainbow capitalist genocide enabling overpaid geriatric status quo needs to be fucking next.

That seems like a promising app. I was using Librera for Android, which also handles just about every format and has a lot of settings to play with. But Readest seems like that, plus with a nicer, less clunky look and feel.

Can someone explain to me how games are “dying”? I see this sentiment a lot and I can only assume that the people who say this are the same people who think that their personal inability to scroll past the Netflix show with a gay character and choose one of the hundreds of shows that don’t, is a conspiracy theory to erase white cisgender christians.

Because there’s any endless wealth of good games around, especially in the indie scene. But if you’re an own face hammering, piss drinking conservative that hates anything and everything, I can see how you would be having a hard time.
