The guy kept going, wow. After hundreds of comments by him in under 2 hours the mods turned off commenting. He ended up calling someone who wondered how he could keep posting so quickly a rape apologist, a Jewish person a yuppie holocaust denier, and someone tagging a mod a kkkcreepy rear end racist. poo poo was wild.

Boy if Feinstein's husband's trying to burn a path for the high-speed rail system he has really bad aim, he keeps lasering places hundreds of miles off the route. Also interesting how evidently only one person noticed this laser burning through the middle of what's clearly a major city.

It feels like just paying people off under eminent domain would be easier, quicker, and cheaper than these massive wildfires.

That people blame the California bushfires on people wanting more public transport lines? Jesus gently caress! I knew Americans hated the idea of suburban trains, but how broken do you have to be see a bushfire and then go, "well if the illuminati didn't want people too poor to own a car to get around cities, that wouldn't have happened." Or am I the idiot, and misreading that terribly.

Just where California needs high speed rail lines, too: in the foothills of the northern Sierras so people can get from like Chico to Mt. Lassen in a hurry

If you're curious he serially harassed and bullied girls throughout middle school, including revenge porn (of middle schoolers) to the point that at least one of his victims attempted suicide. That was 5 years ago. More recently:quote:Coleman told one Republican during the campaign that he'd "laugh and giggle when you get COVID and die."

Even if it was heinous, they were loving 12 and shouldn't be punished as adults for it If I misunderstood and that poo poo continued, thats hosed but its still an issue his parents should be dragged for not getting him the help he needs.

Its so painfully obvious that he's never actually watched more than the trailer and knows the people who like his videos won't watch more than that, either. There's eldrich horror even in the very first episode. And there's racial themes in the original HPL works. Cosmic horror often relies on something being so large and different that we can neither understand it or be of value to it. Man v Man horror is often the opposite - smaller scale of individuals or groups, and of deep personal value for both perpetrator and victim. You'd have to have some sort of agenda to miss both of those. It's because he's racist

Hollandia posted:Which site? Lancer? K6BD. Apparently the commenter in question was some guy who got really wound up about a recent series of events in the comic (trying to keep this non-spoilery) that were a direct allusion to a trans person finally openly transitioning, claiming that it wasn’t narratively satisfying while somehow failing to recognize the years of narrative and thematic buildup that that moment was the culmination of.

Sounds like he never read lovecraft. didn't care to watch the video but the comments are full of people who haven't realised the series is not based on Lovecraft's stories directly, but on novel of the same name from 2016

Guy has been writing hundreds of paragraphs about how bad the comic is, while every point he makes makes it clear he is completely missing the point of the comic, and everyone else tries to explain the metaphor, calls him an idiot, or tells him to shut up. It would be kind of impressive, but since the metaphor in question is about gender transition it's just sad and commonplace.
