People are really going in on this game while ignoring that a lot of games coming out of Japan have propaganda and seemingly rationalize sexualizing minors....

Who the fuck plays video games for six hours straight??????????
What kind of deodorant-abrasive sludge waste you gotta be to binge that much for gaming???? Six hours??????????????
That will not be me. 2 hours alone gives me a headache. Georgia weather is lovely
So I'm not allowed to make the OT after all, due to political differences with some admins of this site. I hope someone else can take over instead of me and use the title ” which both is a quote from MW2 Mercenaries game and pretty much incapsulates both the universe and the gameplay of this one. But I'm okay if something else is chosen. Sorry about the short notice and take care.
what about the USA though? its mot like they took in millions of refugees from syria... last year it was less hen a thousand.. and unlike japan the us has been a major actor in the region and arguably one of the reasons why the region is so destabilized.
EtcetEraThreadSainsbury's to introduce 'touch-free' meat packaging cos' millennial's afraid of touching raw meat
ReasonUser Warned : Off-topic generalisation based on "gender roles".
you can't deny how 'weak' (psychologically at least) the young seems to be these days though.....like what's up with big grown guys in their 20s shrieking at the sight of a cockroach or a house lizard?
I know gender role is a 'open fluid' concept nowadays but still.......c'mon. They can't handle stress, they can't handle strenuous physical activities. They demand safespace but don't want to create it for themselves. They want to live their life based on what they want to be, not what it is.....such as this 'meat packaging' thing.
(p.s. i am a millennial as well by the article definition)
EtcetEraThreadLa Casa de Papel (or “Money Heist”) |OT| What was missing from Netflix’s Death Note
ReasonUser Warned: Inflammatory Generalizations
Huh? Are you going to call me a xenophobe or something because I believe the Spanish accent sounds weird and too funny to be taken seriously the way it is spoken? Chilean Spanish sounds like that for a lot of Latin American native Spanish speakers too. Don't try to see things where they are not.

ReasonUser Banned (2 Days): Personal attacks against another member + inflammatory commentary
I'm assuming you're white, I find it really peculiar that you so badly want to claim her as one of your own, that is to say 'White'. Well, you win this racist POS is white just like you enjoy your pyrrhic victory.

ReasonUser Banned (5 Days): Offensive generalisation. Member still in junior phase.
As much as I would like to say you're right, you might be mistaken. Spain has a long tradition of reconquistas, pillaging other continents and Muslim genocides, to kill members of another race is in their culture.
While I appreciate the mind reading and knowing what someone else meant, I'll politely wait until that person replies. I just wanted clarification so to not misunderstand what that person meant and reply back to them with misinformation on my part.

If people want to call me out for something that might be false then they can do so. I'm under no obligation to provide sources for my claim. He asked why and I told him. If you have a problem with that specific sly response that's fine, I understand.
EtcetEraThreadWhy is it still acceptable to refer to woman as b****** in hip hop music?
ReasonUser Banned (2 Days): Thread whining. Insulting other users.
Can't believe this thread is still going strong at 15 pages.
Bunch of whiny fuckin' bitches in these parts. Seriously. I've never seen a group of people over-analyze, dissect, and generally just beat a topic to death more than I have in this thread. Seriously, if you don't like the word 'bitch', then just don't freakin' use it. But in the real world, people DO use words that other people might find offensive and we all have to deal with that as grown adults. So an artist calls a woman a bitch in a song. Big deal. There are bigger things to worry about in the world than offensive words.
EtcetEraThreadWSJ: Germany Struggles With an Unfamiliar Form of Anti-Semitism
ReasonUser Warned: Inflammatory Generalizations
To be fair, there's nothing more frustrating than discussions about racism in Germany, especially if you have them with Germans, who all believe they're super progressive on everything and can never possibly be racist. Even Antifa people will grate on your nerves if you discuss something like the H&M Shirt a while ago.
There was no one having a discussion with me, just me pointing out to a poster that a comment of theirs raised my eyebrow. Lay off your hyperbole.
You may have missed it, but I did directly quote you. I responded to someone else in the same post, so maybe that got lost.

ReasonUser Banned (3 Days): Inflammatory Derail
Deporting is pushing your problems on another country. You don't care about anything but your own country?
Also a big issue is the lack of healthy discussion on this subject in Europe. Especially Germany and France where criticism on Israel is taboo. If a normal discussion is to be had then it is easier to convince people away from the radical. If the only people that don't scold you for what you see as an ethical stance are racists then you will mirror them.
It is not me making that connection it is also pro-Israeli organisations (not to be confused with Jewish rights orgs, I applaud those) that jump on every opportunity to use (justified) outrage on anti semitic incidents to sneak in pro Israel policies. See the incident in Amsterdam after which political parties were tricked to sign a declaration on anti semitism that just happened to also declare anti Israel stances as such.
The hypocrisy is not without cost and it is showing when you have people who are not in on the pro Israel hivemind.
No eurocentric method of tackling this will work, there are many with anti-semitic views because of the conflict that are ignorant on this subject and influenced by conspiracy theories etc.
I think the thought of EVEN MORE WWII milking solving this is showing a lack of understanding on the problem at hand. You can't shame people into being pro-Israel because Europe shat on the Jewish community for centuries ending in genocide and felt bad about it. This target group does not feel responsible for that and WWII is being milked enough, especially in the superficial way (no political analysis).
So teach the existence of legitimate positions (critical on Israel but not on Jews as a people) so people can actually move into them.
Edit: and even I am now just focusing on the migrants, I was the only brown guy in class and it was the white Dutch kids that came with the Jew jokes and Holocaust mockery.
You don't get it. Since everyone who even remotely supports anything trump does is a secret fucking nazi, they know to keep quiet so not to expose themselves. The plan is to pretend to be normal people with different political views and once you befriend them or gain their trust, they swoop in, take out the swastika and start arranging the next clan meeting.
Trump supporters are evil peices of shit. Sub human you may say. Once you dehumanise them you don't need to think about it anymore. Peace out
