Ok, I see what you are saying, however it just came off as a strange next step. To me, it registered as things in the same wheelhouse.

Jack Thompson was filing superfluous lawsuits about video games causing violence for decades. They had to disbar him to stop him from ignoring orders to stop bringing up what were, essentially, the same lawsuits over, and over, who’s evidence had failed in every conceivable manner.

Anita Sarkeesian criticized sexist, and racist, tropes in video games, and the pig culture inside the industry, via a middling feminist blog until conservative culture war chuds decided to make her their focus when she posted a kickstarter to help fund Feminist Frequency make a video documentary series on sexist tropes in video games.

These two things are not similar other than they leveled criticism at video games. While Jack took shit online for his bullshit, he in no way experienced the level of harassment, and out-right contempt, that was leveled at Anita.

The stars. Keep up with the conversation!

It’s almost as if the piracy is not actually why, or not the primary reason, they want to take total control of the internet

They were all racist as hell. Do you know how man times Darrell and Vinnie have been recorded casually saying racist shit, including casual use of the n word, over the years?

Well, TBF, you have to get deeper into the weeb side of the black pill movement to understand how many weirdos out their side with grifith’s philosophy/the godhead, or Johan from monster. However, you will absolutely see them frequently if you, for some reason, subject yourself to places that have black pillers in larger numbers, twitter, 4chan, facebook… You would probably have to been in conversation space about scifi to really see the people who unironically defend the military government of earth in starship troopers, however its pretty common when the subject comes up.

However the Joker? you really have never seen people side with the Joker? I actually have a hard time believing you are social media savvy enough to be on Lemmy, and have not experienced the armies of losers that identify with the Joker as a hero. This is like police with punisher skulls level of common. The idolization of Tyler Durden as a working class hero is also quite common.

No, they were designed with the suburban keeping up with the joneses types in mind

Talking about not getting it. The people in this thread bring up points about liking things for reasons that don’t mean you agree with the evil character, and think they are to be looked up to, while simultaneously ignoring that there are massive crowds of people out there that do just that, look up to these people like heros, believe they are the correct ones, etc. and that this is what the meme was addressing, not someone thinking a character was a good character for story writing purposes.

There is a difference between enjoying an evil character, and what a lot of people do with these specific evil characters. The ones in this meme are often looked up to by a bunch of people. There are lots of people who believe they are the correct person in the story, or otherwise the one to be idolized.

The show also goes out of its way to show you how phony the gangsters are. Especially in concerns to them being Italian.

But, But, he is saying more guns! I want more guns, and I identify as conservative, and republican!

I mean, the account is named Glowie…

not just “not a doctor” but someone who wrote a book where he went into detail about how he doesn’t believe in GERM THEORY.

They bothered to paint over the mold?

there is a guy who lives about 2 miles away from me that owns one. I used to see his truck around, and see it while I was out walking parked in his driveway. I stopped seeing it for a few months. Then I was walking by when I saw him outside doping something in his yard and asked what happened to his truck. He said it was too much trouble, I said yeah, i heard they have some serious issues on the news. he replies “On top having to take it to the shop almost once a month motherfuckers just kept vandalizing the thing. It just was not worth owning.”

It’s a thought that makes me smile.
