There is a reason with gun training double tap is a thing. One bullet isn't always enough to stop someone.

There's also a reason why "controlled pairs" is the prevailing teaching over "double tap." "Double tap" is now a frowned upon thing.

Like, 90% of fucking Captain America himself's actions are "extrajudicial vigilante justice."

bfslick50 posted...

Using their powers to exert extrajudicial vigilante justice isn't part of their actions?

"Just think if they stopped only targeting criminals and attacked all of us!" is literally a racist X-men villain argument. Good job.

Spoilers: 99% of superheroes exert extrajudicial vigilante justice.

I don't know if you're reading the manga or watching the anime, but the way shit's done in the Final War arc really throws a lot of it under the drain in my opinion. I get him accepting more power from AFO because he feels what he has isn't enough compared to someone like Dabi, but him getting reduced intelligence even worse than Gigantomachia as a result left a sour taste. I also get being manipulated into being the "face" of AFO's heteromorph forces with the ulterior reason to get Kurogiri, but I dislike that some random toady that Anima took out with a bunch of birds was the voice because Spinner could barely form a sentence.

I'm torn on this. I sorta get it, because AFO blatantly fed on Spinner's devotion to Shigaraki, and Spinner is devoted to Shigaraki entirely because he views him as a friend who never judged him. Yes, I didn't like the whole... Devolving Spinner into a mindless beast bit, but it made sense to me, because, again, AFO basically fed it to him as... "You're helping your friend this way." I'm sorta okay with it because it's painted as AFO basically taking advantage of Spinner, not something Spinner actually actively chose, himself. He was sorta tricked into it.

You've changed the analogy. The X-men equivalent would be asking how you react to the good bomb guys? The guys who are part of a vigilante group building bombs to fight bad guys on their own, how do we react to them? The good X-men are still walking bombs and that is definitely not how we should be viewing minorities.

...If you view the GOOD mutants as "walking bombs" simply because of their powers, and not because of their actions, uh... Yes, that's racist as fuck. If the good X-Men have never bombed innocent people, then why are you judging them? Literally anybody can build a bomb.

As half baked as it also was in My Hero Academia, it unironically worked better in that shit because it is literally this example where people hate Spinner 'cause he looks like a gecko or Tentacole 'cause he has those six arms with skin webbing in between in a world where most of the population has powers and most of those are relatively weaksauce shit.

MHA actually did it very well, considering how comics/manga usually treat it, even if "half baked." I feel like Spinner is a very well played character, for example, in that he idolized somebody like Stain because he felt so marginalized and hated himself, and you just get the feeling that if somebody good had reached him sooner, he'd have been a good guy, since his entire devotion to the current villains is almost entirely based on his friendship/sense of belonging, to them.

I guess that's true.

but you hear how a lot of these people were enjoying torturing animals to death as kids and it seems some are just born rotten.

I guess I was emotionally responding to this specific instance

I feel like this is the point, though. If somebody enjoys torturing animals, they clearly need help. And the LACK of help is what creates problems later on.

That said, I get the emotional response, completely.

EDIT: Also, to be fair, you hear extremely few cases of somebody enjoying something like torturing animals out of the blue. It's often caused by some kind of trauma or influence, which, if properly treated, could likely be improved/cured.

Microsoft should've made Windows 10 64-bit only.

To be fair, they effectively did, by dropping support of the 32 bit version years ago.

tremain07 posted...

You know, do the X-Men even have any human affiliated groups they're friends with who constantly show up? Even Bruce Banner used to have Rick Jones before he became a Hulk himself with a really stupid name

Outside of random human characters, SHIELD itself. Not "constantly," because the entire point of X-Men is the mutants don't want to rely on human intervention, for obvious reasons, but when they REALLY need them...

Otherwise, that's literally a plot point. They don't have many human affiliated groups helping them because of, you know, racism.

lol at the still poor moderating.

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

Ive not even once said i agree with the character in the clip at all. Almost all of my arguments have been my out of universe explanations between the differences of the X men and real life marginalized groups.

Those "differences" are "A few people in this marginalized group chose to do bad things, so I'm now saying the entire group can't be considered marginalized."

That's a terrible argument.

I realize I made the edit late, so let me ask again:

A minority guy can build a bomb and blow people up. Do you suddenly feel uncomfortable about calling that minority "marginalized," because of the actions of Bomb Guy?

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

jesus christ no i dont think racism is okay as ive already said in multiple posts.

Im just trying to say that making the minority analogy actually objectively different than other humans and often capable of accidental destruction has always made me uncomfortable. Because minorities and marginalized groups are just people anyone else, they might just look different or be attracted to different people than I am.

This is literally your argument:

"Jesus christ I'm not saying racism is okay. I'm just saying this analogy doesn't work because in this case racism is okay."

I'm not sure how you don't get this.

The problem with Explode By Looking guy isn't that he's a mutant, and so you shouldn't be okay with all mutants being marginalized, and representing mutants as marginalized shouldn't make you "uncomfortable." The problem with Explode By Looking guy is literally if he decides to ACTUALLY make people explode, and then the problem is his choice of actions, not him being a mutant.

A minority guy can build a bomb and blow people up. Do you suddenly feel uncomfortable about calling that minority "marginalized," because of the actions of Bomb Guy?

It's specifically the 32 bit version of Windows 10, which Microsoft stopped supporting in 2020. Other versions of Windows 10 will still be supported.

Did Windows also drop support for those versions, in a major way? If so, then it makes sense. There's no real reason to bend over backwards to keep trying to support something if it's no longer getting updates by its own developers.

NoMeLx22x posted...

Holy shit. Are people really nitpicking that because the X-men have powers they aren't the marginalized group in this case?

How are people missing the point of the X-men in the year 2024?

Yeah, this is what's wild to me. A startling number of people on this board would literally be racist villains in the X-men universe.

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

Yes, i understand most mutants arent capable of destroying the world or mass destruction, but most of the ones we follow in the comics, both good or evil, are.

Again, people shouldnt be racist to anyone because they are a mutant. A guy who can explode people by looking at them is a little different than a guy with different skin color than me though. That is all im saying.

So then you are literally just on record for saying "It's okay that, in the comics, the ENTIRE mutant race is marginalized, because there's a guy that can explode people by looking at them."

You aren't helping your case, here.

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

dude once again i dont think its okay or acceptable for people to be racist against mutants for existing.

These are fictional characters with fictional abilities that real life marginalized groups do not have. That is why i never loved the marginalized group analogy. Im not condoning racism jesus christ

You say you aren't condoning racism while literally making an argument for racism by saying "Listen this group doesn't make sense for being marginalized because a select few have strong powers."

You realize the problem with this, right?

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

But no minority of any group is born with literal nukes as something they can manifest

I mean a vast majority of X-Men mutants don't have literal "nuke" powers. Some of them have stuff like "Grow quills kinda sorta and also you can't turn it off so people judge you for looking weird."

KogaSteelfang posted...

That may apply to the X-Men, sure. But that scene happened happened after an attack on the Morlocks. Y'know the mutants driven to live underground in literal sewers to survive. Magneto says it best, that they don't consider mutants deserving enough to even live in their filth.

So, in other words, racists couldn't be bothered with details, they had to rush to racist.

What have Dems ever done to make MTG seem "important" or "noteworthy"? I only ever see anything about her in the lens of her own deranged twitter posts and speeches. She's a self-promoting lunatic.

What do you expect them to do, exactly? The fact they intentionally highlight her lunacy is the best thing they can do.

At this point I have to assume that you are, indeed, trolling.

streamofthesky posted...

2) They haven't done shit to that end, they barely ever talk about her, it's Trump 24/7

...You're kidding, right? It feels like you're trolling, at this point.

They focus on Trump because people like MTG/the RNC in general have made Trump the goal of the entire party, so, yes, it makes sense to focus on him. But you're pretending they ignore people like MTG, which is just... Blatantly false.

What's your angle, here?

Aloc posted...

I'm telling you the xmen are NOT a good example of a marginalized group.

Being marginalized means you have little to no power.

"Little to no power" doesn't literally mean physical power. It means political power. Mutants have little to no political power, and were incredibly marginalized. That's the entire point.

Yes, many mutants had the physical power to kill a ton of people, if they wanted. Regardless of that, they had very little political power, and were refused even basic rights.

Try again.

This gives me very hard "The police aren't actually obligated to protect you" vibes.

The sooner people realize large corporations/police/etc. will gladly sacrifice them because they aren't "obligated" for certain things, the better.

Aloc posted...

The x men aren't marginalized.

They could kill us all.

Or destroy our minds.

Or something.
Being marginalized means you have no or little power.

Imagine openly siding with the racist villain in a topic calling people out for siding with the racist villain

Or maybe she's just a piece of s*** person?

Serial killers have mental health issues but I don't give a f*** about them. If you're born rotten you're born rotten.

...I mean, you should, because it's the mental health issues that cause somebody to be a serial killer, and thus we should want to treat said mental health issues BEFORE somebody becomes a serial killer as much as we can.

Do you think people are just... Destined to become serial killers, no matter what, or something? Your post is so bizarre.

Spoilers: If we improve mental health care, the number of serial killers will go down.

I thought it was canceled a long time ago lol

The large PvE mode was. They still had smaller PvE stuff, like special events. This sounds like they're canceling those now, too.

Even fucking Suicide Squad sprinkled story on top of their battle pass nonsense.

CasualGuy posted...

Has she had work done? I remember her being hot in the Funhaus days but I don't remember her looking this stacked

Doesn't seem like it. She just never really flaunts them much because she normally dresses for that nerd appeal.

I kinda can't get over the CoD comparison, now.

Like, atleast the CoD team's excuse was that they were told to change their DLC into a full game, so they basically desperately added story content under a very tight deadline. It ended up bad, but atleast they tried.

OW2's entire point was being sold on the PvE aspect.

How badly do you gotta screw up that CoD looks good in comparison?

itachi15243 posted...

Man, even the Cod devs managed to cram in 5 hours of story mode in MW3.

You figure that blizzard could do that much.

Wasn't that even just a case where MW3 was intended to be MW2 DLC, but they decided to make it a full game because Treyarch's next CoD ended up delayed? They literally had more story mode in a DLC turned greedy full game cashgrab than OW2 could manage... ever.

OW1 was so good. How could they drop the ball this badly?

Aloc posted...

Yes I've read the comic book years before most did.

But the show from what I've seen absolutely ups the gore in comparison.

The comic was already incredibly gory, so I don't think your argument tracks. The show may be more gory, but "more gory" compared to "already very gory" seems like a moot point.

You mean Toonstrack

This is a good point.

Hey @Toonstrack where are you? People are insulting your boy.

Terribly inefficient themed popcorn buckets are certainly not a new thing, they've existed for a long time. The point isn't to literally eat popcorn out of them, they're entirely for collection purposes.

The only reason the Dune one is getting attention is because of the "people fuck it" meme.

Maybe this is a new marketing strategy.

Step 1: Hire a waning celebrity to be in your game
Step 2: Don't advertise the game at all
Step 3: When the game flops, blame the celebrity
Step 4: Potentially profit from the attention gained by the news about your game flopping because of X celebrity

Yes. When you are the attacker, or atleast a willing participant, in an unarmed fight, you waive the excuse of believing you risked death or serious physical injury. You have to have SOMETHING you can point to that would make your claim believable, which is why they're leaning on the bullying angle, since the other girl was clearly unarmed. That's why, in the big stand your ground cases, the "victim" claims the "attacker" had a weapon, or tried to take theirs, or so on. Notice they, so far, haven't even tried to claim "stand your ground." They appear to be going for public sympathy, without actual legal recourse.

EDIT: Basically, I feel like there's a reason that the alleged attacker's family/defense hasn't even tried to argue "stand your ground," yet, and are instead going the "She's a good kid" and the kickstarter route. I feel like if they felt it was actually "stand your ground," they'd... You know, argue "stand your ground."

I'll be honest, though. I'm jaded from "They were an honor student!" or whatever being the typical response to defend terrible actions. Don't forget the Kyle Rittenhouse "He was a boy scout who dreamed of being a police officer," crap, among other examples.

TheGoldenEel posted...

Missouri is a stand your ground state. whether you think that's morally wrong or not, the law there says that when attacked, lethal force is justified. She could have shot her dead right there and if the law were applied consistently* she wouldn't even be facing charges. That is assuming the claims of who attacked who first are true

*it obviously isn't when it comes to skin color, but for the sake of argument

By Missouri law, you have to believe your life is in danger for stand your ground to apply, so this logic doesn't really apply to the situation, as far as we know from the videos released. An unarmed fight that you presumedly started, or, at best, agreed to take part in, would not fall under believing your life is in danger.

Okay? I'm just saying people aren't Vulcans and can't just turn it off on a dime in situations like that. Trained fighters can because they are trained that way, normal people in those situations are running on pure instinct and emotions.

So what's your point, exactly? Spell it out, please.

When you beat somebody, potentially to death, you better have a damn better reason than "blind rage."

Vyrulisse posted...

I feel like people aren't really taking into account state of mind. Comments like "when the threat is neutralized just stop" and that's just not realistic. Especially if you "snapped" and lost control, blind rage is a thing.

Yes, and yet "blind rage" is not an excuse for a crime, so, uh...

It doesn't matter who started what, or who said what. If you throw somebody to the ground and bash their head into the pavement several times, you've committed a very violent crime, and there's no excuse for it. Especially not "blind rage."

I think was confirmed the purple horned guy was not Ginyu's original body, and nobody knows what his actual original body looked like.

This. We have no idea what Ginyu's original body was. It was heavily implied (maybe even confirmed, in the manga or extra material?) that his purple body was stolen, at some point in his life. It was his most used body, but not his original. The implication is that, for a long time, he never found anybody stronger than his purple body.

EDIT: The idea that the purple body isn't his is supported by the fact that Jeice appears completely unsurprised to see Ginyu use his body swap, as if he had seen it before.
