@Minty someone should add shoes to toph in the nickelodeon smash game as a joke in retaliation

Saw someone say they modded shoes onto that girl from zzz
And when asked why they called people disgusting gooners

Nigga you're playing the gooner game :ogey:

I have this crazy idea that only makes sense in the 80s and 90s, but has never been done as far as I know.

You know how when you call a business or some other organization you get an automated phone menu? What if someone used an automated phone menu and made an adventure game or RPG with it? It could even be multiplayer.

It sounds like a cool concept. I could imagine an alternate timeline where those types of games enjoyed a niche back in the 80s or 90s, but I can't see that happening today.

The way I see it is if you at least kept your mouth shut on free speech, if when 'your guys' (politicians only serve themselves 99% of the time no one has 'guys') are in power you don't constantly cheer on other people having their speech curtailed, if you uphold your end of the bargain you should be left alone.

If you didn't it is going to be really hard for me to give a shit about you when the tables turn. In fact, I won't.

So when it comes to all these people that shrieked with delight over some rando dropping the gamer word on x-box live getting fired from their job it is hard for me to give a flying shit when they also shriek with delight at some guy getting shot and get fired for it. If anything I think it is too tame in certain instances but I'm not here to fed post.

Basically I am a quid pro quo kind of guy, with the caveat that if I already disliked you I'll escalate and if I feel bad for you I'd prefer to use kid gloves when retaliating.

But some of these comments I saw getting screencapped and archived are so innocuous it is baffling to me that people care even outside the free speech angle.

Is "I am afraid the right is going to retaliate" on the same level as "now kill his wife too"? One of these gets a response along the lines of "yeah you should be, keep your head down" and the other is against your instance rules for me to detail.

@vriska @ForbiddenDreamer @anemone @Humpleupagus there is, and there is also a dark irony in that he was answering a question about trans shooters, from somebody who was trying to debate him that the left wasn't violent, and we now know that was likely part of the motivation for the shooting. He was proven right in the shooting itself.

Idk if Charlie ever talked about gun issues beyond just protecting the second amendment, but guns are not the problem. We have probably the worst mental health of any country and the lowest amount of cultural homogeny. Plus, we let violent criminals just do whatever the fuck they want and get released from prison until they do something REALLY bad or die. There are a lot more broken things than just the amount of guns floating around here but the people who have those issues the most are the ones most unwilling to accept them.

@pettanko @anemone @vriska the main thing to consider is that because the left has gone further to the left it has left a lot of classic liberals more or less identifying with the right, which has become more lenient over time.

@pettanko @anemone @vriska I think that group is mainly the older boomer cons, in and out of office, but even then I've seen a good amount of them come around over the years too. Anecdotes, I know, but that's really all either of us have.

@anemone @vriska I would wager to say a massive amount of the right is not the same as the right in the 80s and 90s that was all about the satanic panic and violent video games shit. Myself and pretty much all the guys I know irl would have been considered liberals 20 years ago.

Unlike what the right censored back then, and what the left began to censor, what is being taken action against right now is not benign. It is pulling back the curtain on extremist viewpoints that wish death on a major portion of the population. I think that's a little different.

That being said, if anyone has a full clip of exactly what Jimmy said, I would love to see it. I don't know what was said exactly. There is such a thing as dark, edgy humor and if that is what he's getting in trouble for that's a different thing entirely. Poor taste, but still.

@Humpleupagus @anemone @vriska "oh, you need to have principles! Don't cancel the people who canceled you for far less than celebrating someone's assassination and saying they deserved it!"

It's this kind of shit that we have been putting up with to hold on to our principles for a very long time. It hasn't worked, clearly. Things continue to get worse because the principles are not the same across the board.

@vriska @anemone I love attacking my enemies with the same thing I've been attacked with. And yes I literally have personally experienced it. I won't ever throw the first stone but I'll enjoy throwing it back.

@Vo @Forestofenchantment you have to get the friends who are autistic about normie stuff
I have an autistic buddy who is crazy with movie trivia because he spends so much time watching movies and finding out about all the behind the scenes stuff

@Professor_Groyper it was because the fcc threatened their broadcasting license

A quick announcement regarding this character.

As you may already know, she's missing a leg and I happen to have a serious personal phobia-thing regarding missing limbs. Like...I don't like seeing them at.
So, I'm willing to draw her as long as her legs are not visible, like this drawing.

I apologize if I let anyone down with this decision and thank you for understanding!
