So I just started watching an old show called "My So Called Life" as I heard it was a fairly accurate time capsule for American life the early 90s. If any of you guys are old enough I have a couple of questions. Can't ask my family as we are a VASTLY different background. 1) Was dyeing your hair really that big of a thing back then? 2) How can there be so much drama over nothing? Not just from the teens but the parents. 3) Is this show really that accurate? I'm trying to talk myself into continuing but not sure if I should. Is this just a proto Dawson's Creek which was in turn proto CW? Was this the first time an openly lgbtq character was on an American show in a non comedy role? I did like that it was so overly US suburb that I was just about to write it off when they added a couple of things that made me rethink. Feels a bit like Degrassi Murrica style. So what is goon consensus?

Rhyno posted:No, we have to harp on the one mistake for two goddamned decades. That smug feeling of telling people that a band they like are in fact douches is the most important thing. At what point do we declare Hereticus Extremis Diabolus and purge them in holy, cleansing fire? "Reality or 40k?" should be a new game. "The world quakes in fear of a God Emperor and his legion of fanatic worshippers." Any new word on the Eisenhorn series?

I watched that thing all the way at least 3 times and know a thread with a decent amount of traffic. I know we are goons and all but can't imagine that many checked it out only to nope. Maybe I'm wrong and just don't want the whedon cut to be proven right. Chairman Capone posted:Uh, not even close. The documentary is pretty clear about them being skeezy, hypocritical, anti-Semitic perverts who don't give a poo poo about anything except their own power and being willing to see people die to keep the approval of online racists. Backing this up. Watched the whole thing and in no way were anyone related to 8chan or Q shown to be functional good people. About the only person with any decent intentions was the OG Anonymous guy and he was very loudly repulsed by Gamergate and all the chuds stealing his tactics. The legions of Q are just like you would think: lunatics or the grifters playing them. It was a decent doc but really wished it had gone more into the build up to the 6th as well as the epilogue to all of that. I was saddened it only briefly touched on how Q has grossly infected and radicalized the religious and conservative parties in america as that is legit terrifying and will have long term effects with even higher of a bodycount. Was glad it had some time focused on Christchurch as people have probably forgotten about that with all the insanity of the past couple of years. Glad it came about as when the proper Q doc comes in about a decade they will have some nice footage to yank from. That is IF the world doesn't get cleansed in the holy fire from Trumpika. edit: Aardvark! posted:i watched the west wing while Bush was president and i didnt read any political forums or anything but was ostensibly liberal, and it was addictive. there is some appeal to the People Owning Eachother With Facts and Logic genre imo.

IRQ posted:In the same way that the mythical 1950s were the idyllic good old days for chuds, sure. bull3964 posted:Yeah, they just hid the poo poo better back then. A more intact veneer doesn't make the age better, it's worse for pretending that it is. Heh... oh they still wanted me or my kind dead, in jail or knowing our place but there were also less people in positions of government that believed in jewish space lasers or cleansing the world in holy fire. British government loving sucks/ is terrible and incompetent in every way but American government actually scares me a little. I miss the days when nazis were just punchlines to jokes or nothing you took that seriously. I fluctuate between feeling hopeful because people my age and younger SEEM less tied to racism and genuinely want the world to become a better place but also anxious because Gen X and Boomers sense their era is ending and are using 40k speak in real life and drooling over the apocalypse. Yeah it was never a great world but these past few years felt like they turned the dial up on crazy. Meh...sorry to cause a brief derail. Probably doesn't help I JUST finished the Q doc and jesus... those 8chan guys getting away with fomenting and weaponizing all this chaos and getting to slink away is aggravating. Sorry again.
