Yeah, it's entire raison d'être seems to be to obsessively track down anything even remotely progressive and append a meaningless "top kek, triggered much?" type of reply.

While Trump isn't my favorite - simply because he's all bark and no bite (thus far) - the fact that what he's saying is putting the left on major league attack is definitely amusing.

The WH says he's not fit to be President because his comments about the cult of death is unconstitutional. Um, gun restrictions are unconstitutional, forcing us to buy a product or face fines is unconstitutional, aiding and abetting the enemy is unconstitutional. Need I go on? Pot, let me introduce you to kettle.

A good friend of mine who has mostly liberal ideologies, not all, there are some critical thinking skills there, after echoing my distrust of the cult of death and agreeing that their religion is a disease and needs handled, says Trump doesn't speak for her. (After she posted a picture of 15 golf balls she collected on the beach outside of one of Trumps golf courses, claiming they're ruining the environment. @@)

Oh, really? Because he just says what everyone is thinking? Oh, wait, everyone capable of independent, logical thought, that is. Gotcha. Now it makes more sense.

Then a friend of hers jumped in to the conversation and says that the biggest threat to our country is hate, bigotry, stereotyping and prejudice. Wait, we didn't stereotype the two who killed 14 people just two weeks ago - anyone remember that? Had the neighbor reported what she had seen, 14 people may be alive today, but, she didn't want to be labeled as a bigot.

And there we are. Labels. When did that become so taboo that people will fail to report something serious for fear of being labelled? Oh, right, when the left made it that way. Know what I say? Label away. I couldn't care less what you call me. Not one little tiny poo poo less. If it saves just one American life, I'll profile your rear end right now.

That said, Trump is a loud mouth. But he says what everyone is thinking, he's a brilliant businessman and has the numbers to prove it. If he can back up all of that rhetoric, then hell yeah, I'll vote for him. But, I'm going to need to see more than the circle talking he's been giving us. If he has a PLAN, we need to see it.

That's about it. 99% of people playing vidyagames don't give a poo poo, but some communities are very toxic and it gets even worse with some GG influence (god I hope I don't summon the fairy).

While 3 of the best games of the year have lots and lots of tits in them (Phantom Pain and Witcher 3). Though tits in Witcher are done in consensual sex scenes, while Quiet just wants to shake her titties at you for Japanese gaming reasons.


Every tournament I've been they are really strict on the way people can act. They will tolerate people getting angry up to a point but yelling and screaming and swearing are not permitted. Sorry that somehow oppresses you but everyone has a right to not hear that kind of poo poo when they're trying to have fun. Though they have all been Magic, Warhammer, board game etc so there's probably a level of maturity at work that goes beyond Smash bros players. Actually the con I'm part of refuses to do SMB tournies because their playerbase is so god drat toxic.

Friend of mine does modeling, sometimes nude, sometimes not. She posted some recent pictures on facebook, and this guy message her demanding nudes, because if she does nude modeling, that means he's entitled to seeing them right? And when he said no, this was how he responded.

The "you think you're better than everyone else" is such a vapid comment. What the gently caress does it mean anyways? "Yes I think i'm better than knuckle dragging pervs who demand to see my tits" seems like a reasonable stance to take. Basically every woman I know gets this kind of poo poo constantly.

I hate to find out how many people would like this image on imgur, but i had to share it as well

It came from someone in my CT FB group shared by a friend of theirs who's a big Trump fan unironically. When people said "hey fucker, stop it with the nazi poo poo" he claimed he wasn't a nazi or an anti-smite, just spreading the truth. When someone says "i like Trump because he talks straight and doesn't bullshit" they mean "I like Trump because he says racist poo poo that I agree with"

No, Quiet has <reasons> she needs that much skin. Replace the Quiet model with a male model and some of these scenes turn hilarious. Bonus if you haven't seen the originals:

Yea, that poo poo is hilarious and makes the point "if you substitute a man for the woman, does it look silly or does it not?" when you talk about women in games. The thing that drives me nuts about PP is that its so completely unesscary. I think that if they had just had quiet in the outfit, it would be "okay hot half naked sniper, I can deal with that. This game had a dog with an eyepatch, so whatever" but then you add those scenes and even just "what the gently caress? Japan stop it!".

Also, those turn PP into a tender love story between Snake and Ocelot.
