Cursed is the amount of money spent on that thing as a joke.

that's a paying audience so the city made a ton of money on that (honest, it looks like a street carnival but they cordon off the area and only let you in with a ticket)

Burt Sexual posted:

Can someone translate what the announcers are saying about it?

they explain the iconography and praise how well the God Emperor Trump float captured Trump's scowl; they contrast and compare with a different Trump float (!). they don't seem familiar with the source material. it's pretty neutral

I'm just saying that it's really hard to differentiate between folks who are poking fun at otherkin and such for their genuine ridiculousness, and trolls who are doing it to push an agenda or to express an underlying bigotry

Look, I know you weren't talking to me - but you sort of hit a nerve, and it's why I stopped posting earlier. Is it bigotry if I don't see the difference between identifying as a woman and identifying as a Fox? I'm not judging, and you can do whatever you want, but am I supposed to think one is normal, and the other is silly? Having people id as a different gender makes a TON of sense to me, from my personal experiences, from observing "gay" behaviors and the range of attractions I've seen and experienced.

But that doesn't make it "normal" or somehow "better" or more real than identifying as a fox. For example, the person who identifies as maxi-pad ( this was discussed earlier in the thread ) is somehow a joke, but now that they are in therapy and identifying as a woman, I'm supposed to say "How heroic!" glad everything worked out? If I think that someone who is trans-racial might have a mental illness - that's ok. But now if I tell you they are MTF, and they might have a mental illness, I'm trans-phobic and a bigot? ( again, talking about the same person, who is also poly, into-age play, and all the other tumblr crap that goes along with it ) I respect pronouns, I try not to be biased when making important decisions, and in general am all about live and let live.

Not agreeing with you, or asking you to justify something that seems logically off to me - doesn't make me a troll or that I'm trying to push some deep dark agenda. I'm not intolerant. I think if you feel you are in the "wrong" body, and you believe you are something that you physically do not appear to be - you might be suffering from body/gender dysphoria or a mental illness. If the way you choose to treat that condition is through changing your dress, speech, relationships or even surgery - I might not like it, or it might make me uncomfortable - but so what. That's my problem, not yours.

But if you see people making fun of otherkin, and are cool with that - but uncomfortable when people are poking fun at gays or straights, or trans, or blacks, or whatever - that is about you, and where you draw the line between You and Other. It's just a difference of degree. They are all people, and all jokes land somewhere. I mean, I'll quote that otherkin from a few pages back who had the best line ever, and wish it was my senior quote:


anyway, have some more cursed people doing cursed things to cursed children:

This is really common. They see themselves as Americans who earned it. This is common with Latinos and other ethnic groups, and I think it explained why the left was confused on why they weren't up in arms about Trump calling illegal immigrants rapists and what not. They felt he wasn't talking about them.. he was talking about "those Mexicans" or whatever. I'm in a red state, and this is super common. Also 70 year old fox watchers aren't super into being self-reflective.

Why did they even bother with those early promo shots of Smith dressed as the genie, when he's clearly 100% CGI and it's just his voice. I mean, I guess they mocapped his performance, but still. Those images looked terrible.

Because apparently he will be both. Read a thing that when he's blending in with people it will just be Will Smith and when he's genie he will be blue.

Don't know if that's true or not but I'm not gonna do the Goon thing and slam down assumptions after one trailer.
