Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Dude, are you serious?
You jump into a conversation you can't handle and then bitch out and start telling people to take the conversation elsewhere. When made to look like a little bitch in response, you tell people they have a case of toxic masculinity. Now you're pulling your 'innocent o'little me' routine. That you didn't just let another mod take care of the situation, one that wasn't dick-deep in it, is the perfect sign that you're a shitty mod. And that's without the other subtle signs of shit being moved to places it shouldn't be elsewhere in the recent past.
This shit was going to blow over once the movie hit full release and people started talking about the actual movie instead of the controversy. That you didn't think about that and decided to poke the hornet's nest at exactly the wrong time to do so is another sign.

Yeah, like I said I was just trying to help, when I got push back I backed off. Wasn't trying to cause issues. Sorry guys.
Edit: Also I've not moved anything anywhere that the mod team hasn't directed me to move. So not sure where that part came from either.

This is actually an extremely accurate comparison. Even down to the organizations like Antifa and Proud Boys. The way its playing out is accurate, too. With right wingers being deplatformed and censored (A lot of this is just a natural byproduct of geography, because the best places to gather, urban centers, tend to be Liberal strong holds--which leads to situations that happened in Germany and today, where right wing gatherings are attacked by street level forces, and the mayors of those cities have police stand down. Every time this happened in Germany, resentment grew until the brown shirts formed. This is compounded by censorship in media platforms, which is also a mirror of how it was then and today--this is one reason why the Nazis went so hard on propaganda, they had it used against them to great effect for a decade..)
Anyway, its playing out very, very closely. Its almost a 1 for 1, actually. The only difference is the economic state which preceded it. But the real problem in Germany and here is that when a dominant ideology attempts to censor its opponents, it also ends up stifling criticisms it needs to hear to correct mistakes the leadership is making--which leads to resentment and more people joining the counter-culture. The stronger that censorship, the more radical the counter culture can be because people get desperate. The way censorship is playing out today is eerily similar, and its precisely what Orwell wrote about. (Right down to forcing speech.) Any case I won't post more on it, since this isn't for the movie obviously--but always have to point this out. History is strikingly close at hand over the past few years.

this isnt completely true. when the CM trailer hit, they emphasized HER then revealed "a hero" that was the first clue. hell the first clue was casting a raging feminist for the role in the first place. this is what Disney wants. this is their direction. Brie is just the junkyard dog they let loose on trespassers

I just hope Feige got some decent blowjobs from Larson to get this ball rolling. though im putting my money on her being a complete dead fish in the sex0r arena, scarlet looks like the fun one and she didnt even get her movie before CM.

I dont know, I think Feige was pretty loyal to the source material...I think all this sjw / Brie Larson shit is fostered on him by Disney

I think it comes down to two simple points they were aiming at:
1: Need a new core lead for the series to replace Cap/IM.
2: Should probably do a female character because that's where the winds are blowing
Captain Marvel is really one of the very few characters that fits those two things. Scarlet Witch and Widow are just not leader material.
I think things went wrong in the casting of Brie. Whether they realized it later and couldn't backtrack or not doesn't matter. We're stuck with her, and in the process they've pissed off some of the people who were the reason these movies/comics existed in the first place.
