My prediction is that “Rebel Moon” will have enough Snyder treat hogs needing to make excuses for it that there will be future “this is leftist, actually, because the Big Bad if you squint at it can actually look like nazis I guess” or even “the Synderesque Cornfield of Burgerland Sentimentality can look kind of like a commune if you squint and hold your breath long enough” or maybe just boil down to “let people enjoy things” thought terminating cliches, all the while the movie will push cartoonishly blatant propaganda against straw communists. No one is immune to propaganda, least of all the “propaganda has no effect on me” believers, so I predict that’ll be a struggle session.

I expect I will be told to touch grass a lot by that treat’s future defenders if it has even a moderate amount of profitability, which would consequently make local hogs want to make excuses for it instead of admitting it’s hog-feeding chud propaganda and just eating it anyway with acceptance, which I would respect somewhat more.

Wanna know the fun part? Even we’re a little lost in this guy’s posts sometimes. Not as much as a BMF post (or whatever alt account they’re on now), but still.

Have I said anything that incomprehensible to you since this particular thread lately?

Just wondering if I can do a and turn a dial while watching the audience for approval.

Nothing specific comes to mind, just “someone in X game fandom got me riled up” and even I, an inveterate g*mer, am like

Best I can do is my recent comparison between Baldur’s Gate 3 and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.

Your posting is pretty great most of the time. You’re a certified crank, every community needs one. That being said, calling one of the characters from Oppenheimer a “booba waifu” was the most post you’ve ever made.

Emoji that at me all you want but Nolan decided to remove a lot of agency and relevance to women that contributed to essential parts of the Manhattan project, leaving mostly titillation and maudlin moments (and embellishments like “sex makes the protagonist feel like a god” when that quote came years after the moment).

Having had no idea wtf rebel moon is, this post did come off very or maybe BMF-lite. But after you explained that detail it fell into place.

Normally it’s not that there’s any trouble understanding you, just that your posts come off far more intensely than I have ever felt about the topics in question. Which is a good thing, mind, they’re always fun

I blame a sort of allergic reaction that I got from being too exposed to Reddit-style false politeness and wishy-washy statements.

I support your protracted people’s war against the treats. But in all due respect, and don’t take this personally, I think it comes across a little Quixotic sometimes because you make references to previous arguments where the person you’re talking about is nowhere to be found in the thread, so it just looks like fighting windmills from an outsider perspective.

I haven’t done that in a while, actually. Even if I feel it did apply and was relevant I got too much shit for it.

I suppose there will be a few more months of people like you tilting at the windmills about me tilting at the windmills, no matter what I do.
