This is just about the funniest thing I've ever read on these forums. Holy poo poo.

I love that every time it comes up; it's absolute madcap insanity of the best kind.

If you don't see what's patriarchal about saying 'men can't enjoy a show not designed for men' then welp.

Seriously if He-Man or Thundercats or something got a reboot goons would be all over it and nobody would be calling them out.

There's a difference between "a show designed for women" and "a show designed for young women." A guy watching The View would be one thing. This is another. I don't think anybody here is trying to say "grown men can't enjoy a show not specifically intended for grown men," but rather "when grown men become big fans of a show specifically intended for preteen girls, buy themselves avatars based on that show, spend a lot of time talking about said show with each other and anticipating future episodes, and go to McDonald's specifically with the intent of securing for themselves the cheap plastic poo poo Happy Meal toys based on that show, it gives us concerns about what other things they might be interested in."


EDIT: It's sort of like the difference between jerking it to a) the underwear section from the Sears catalog, or b) a Limited Too catalog.

EDIT: ^^It is a double standard, but it's unfortunate fact that people more readily associate impure motives with men than women. Nobody worries about their teenage son chatting with 40-year-old women on the internet, for example. The image of sexual predators as male is pretty strong in our collective psyche.

This is the same sort of thing that happened with Lazy Town. You can look in the Helldump Success stories and find a thread where people were kicked out of SA for being fans of that show and being really loving creepy. Same basic principle.

I'm pretty sure "production values" and "it's intended for kids and adults" came up a lot with that one, too.

From the TFR news thread.

Give me Flibbity posted:

My mom showed me Total Recall when I was really little (mistake) and I fell in love with that one dwarf hooker. Ever since then I have wanted to bang a midget. My friends took me to a local strip club one night when there was a guest show by some "celebrity" little person stripper and bought me a lap dance

You're loving weird, man.

Give me Flibbity posted:

Yeah well I was like 8 so I can't really help it. I am also interested in normal sized girls, if that helps. I'm pretty sure plenty of people on TFR have done worse stuff than get drunk and make out with a tiny stripper in front of their friends.

I never understood how showerbeer works. I mean, bathbeer sounds like a pretty good idea, but with showerbeer, wouldn't water (and very possibly soap and shampoo) get into the beer, even if it's in a can or bottle?

Keep the mouth of the can or bottle above and away from the water stream. If your shower has a shelf (in mine it's about elbow-level) then rest it there. Some water will get into it but not much.

Talk of incandescent lightbulbs being replaced by CFLs in the D&D Political Cartoon thread and Atom kicks this out:

Atom posted:

It's not about the lights themselves, it's about the fact that I literally have bought incandescents off of my coke dealer so that my parents could have functioning dimmer switches. That's loving insane.

Followed, after some questioning, by:

Until he got busted by the government fatcats/pigdogs, he was a close friend of mine. Back when I was a paultard, he even put "Ron Paul '08" stickers on his sacks last election cycle at my request. I don't really see the need for your elitism.

It's like hearing adults who think NASA has anti-gravity chambers.

Like, yeah, we all thought that as kids. But what adult seriously thinks there's a guy sitting at a huge mahogany table smoking a cigar saying "ok, this game is like Halo, BUT..."

When I was a kid I used to write emails to Nintendo explaining games that I had thought of. "Okay, put it on the GBA, this is what the story is about, this is what all the buttons do, just kick that on down to the programmers, okay? When I grow up I'm going to start making you pay me for these "

Yeah the oddest thing for me is that despite being some insane goony bastard the soldiers their seem to be tolerating his presence and even listening to his instructions

quote:

I was in Benghazi for several days before finally arranging passage to Misrata. Much like a fallout game this involved speaking to the other journalists and denizens of the Alnoran hotel and completing various side quests.

How this guy survived is beyond me

I think the language barrier actually helped him a lot; showing up in Libya with even a bit of equipment and training it was probably easy for people to assume that the reason he seemed weird is because they just couldn't understand him well enough. Plus, you know, war, when you just caught a leg full of shrapnel from a bomb going off you've got other things on your mind than "is this guy who's treating me nuts, or is it just me?"

From the interview, it did seem like he made a legitimate and well-intentioned effort to provide medical care before he transitioned to being a sniper.

I guess it depends on your definition of legitimate, obviously you weren't reading his own descriptions. As for well-intentioned, ever heard of Humpty Dumpty?

By legitimate I mean that he was actually trying to help people instead of rejecting germ theory as a CIA lie and trying to rebalance people's humours and bleed them with leeches. He was totally unqualified to be providing any care, of course.
