Defending Harvey Weinstein is the shittest gimmick of the year so far.

---

Now Playing: Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Assassin's Creed

Without a doubt. His debauchery was an open secret in Hollywood, and he only got nailed when his string of Hollywood hits began to dry up. The footage of him around his pet project actresses, as well as the multiple testimonies from his victims and from people he bragged to, make it extremely likely that he committed multiple sexual assaults and rapes by throwing his power around and promising women to make them a star. The man is scum, and he needs to go to jail already.

He reminds me of that Olympic trainer who was known for training gold medal-winning athletes - he molested and raped hundreds of his clientele, including Simone Biles when she was 15 or 16. Sick fucks like that who are known for getting women to the top of their fields have a disproportionately high rate of being a rapist piece of shit, and the women are cajoled into it because they're pressured into wanting to be a star.

I don't doubt for a second Harvey Weinstein is a rapist scumbag.

I mean, she has a point. Remember when David Bowie died, and the slugs on CE were moralising about allegations of rape from 30+ years ago? Folks didn't have a problem digging that shit up to troll grieving music fans.

The thing about David Bowie is this - as someone who greatly enjoys his work, I don't doubt he was a fucking monster at times. I think he would have mellowed O with age, and he had a strong and loving family at the end of his life, but the allegations of locking a groupie in a room and taking turns with Iggy Pop having sex with her are troubling. It's a dark mark on my enjoyment of David Bowie. But with those allegations comes a lot of good that his music did for me, and while I don't forgive or forget for such a heinous accusation, there's a lot of strong personal benefits that came from my enjoyment of his music and I choose to honour those feelings. Both feelings factor into how I remember David Bowie.

For a closer example - Prelude2Entropy. I never liked that user, to the point that by the end of his run he might have been my least favourite user on here. I said as much in threads discussing his suicide, I had too much petty rage against him to sugarcoat anything. I've never gone back on that - I did not like Prelude2Entropy one bit. But as a human being with a family and close friends, someone I would have never known in the flesh, I felt bad that he had died. I respected his life, and I wished him and his family peace. I don't think he deserved to die, and it's genuinely horrific and sad that he took his own life like he did. I could pay some basic lip service to his family and offer my condolences, and to this day I wish them peace and closure for the death of their family member. But even with my dislike of Prelude2Entropy, and nothing good to say about him - the circumstances around his death are tragic, and I wish he had found a better solution to his suffering than suicide. His death was a waste, and he deserved better than to be driven to such a tragic end.

This brings me to Kobe Bryant.

Kobe had those allegations against him, and I think it's irresponsible to dismiss them out of hand because of his greater personality and effect on society. These allegations go back years, and it's important to keep them in mind when thinking of Kobe as a person. Chances are, he did some fucked up things to some people.

But he was a great athlete, possibly one of the biggest personalities in basketball since Michael Jordan. He touched the lives of millions of Americans, and it can be said that his wider impact on the world was inspiring and positive. He was a great athlete whose feats are worthy of idolisation, and the loss of that talent in such a tragic accident is regrettable. He was only 41, and his 13 year old daughter died with him in the accident. That's unbelievably fucked up, and the people they left behind now have to deal with the grief of their deaths. As a public figure, Kobe Bryant is a great loss and it's understandable and respectable that the reaction to his death has had such a wide effect on the world.

The greatness of his feats don't override the allegations against him, and the allegations against him don't necessarily have to be a barrier to mourning and expressing grief for the fallen superstar. But it's important to understand that the allegations do exist, there's a non-zero percent chance that he was involved in sexual assault, and for people who might idolize Kobe or otherwise be swept up in the outpouring of grief for his passing, that can be very confusing or traumatic if his sexual assault allegations hit close to home.

Sarkeesian is right, it's okay to feel confused in the wake of a celebrity's death in the event of that celebrity having taken part in some heinous shit. That was me with David Bowie. Motherfuckers are gonna be slobbing Roman Polanski's knob the day he dies despite the sex crimes he's been involved with. Woody Allen will be mourned as a voice of a generation, even with his grooming and marriage of his adopted child later in life. If their art strikes a chord with you and has influenced you immeasurably as a person, their loss is going to hurt even with the fucking awful things they did. It's okay to reconcile the influence they had on your life with any nasty business they were a part of. It's okay for the death of a beloved celebrity to be muddled by their sexual misconduct, it's okay to be confused or disappointed in them even in the aftermath of their passing. That feeling is human. It shouldn't be rejected.

The comic itself isn't on the level of PBF, but a while back I found a comic named Camp Weedonwantcha about a derelict summer camp where deadbeat parents abandon their kids.

The kids all have pretty messed up backstories, like a guy obsessed with being in charge and blowing a whistle because it belonged to his dad who was disappointed that he didn't want to play football, and when he got kicked out of home, he snagged his dad's whistle after getting shoved out onto the street. Even though he was treated badly and kicked out of home, he still loves his dad and that whistle means the world to him because it's all he has left of his dad.

Just looked up her Grammys set - really not hearing bubblegum pop.

I'm not the biggest fan of Truth Hurts - my favorite song of hers is that 80's throwback Juice - but are you listening to the notes she's hitting in Because I Love You? That's range and talent. Hell, I even liked her Grammys performance of Truth Hurts, which I'm not particularly fond of to begin with.

As a teenager I really fucking hated Adele because they played her shit non-stop, and any lasting specialness from a line like "Old friend, why are you so shy?" is immensely ruined by being played 30+ times on the radio in the span of 6 weeks, especially when you're listening to the radio trying to get to sleep. So I mean, I get it. I don't know Lizzo's saturation point in the US, but I can understand it. Saying that, though, I don't think it's fair to use "bubblegum pop" to completely dismiss Lizzo.

Like Jesus, what the hell's up with Ariana Grande? thank u, next feels so cheap and artificial. So does Don't Call Me Angel. If she did that "Falling for You" song with the "aiaiaiai"s, then that's another song that's just kind of nothing. Lizzo's lyrics are very poppy, but her vocal talent shines through clear as day to me and I feel like her songs have more to chew on than your average pop starlet. And her music helped complement the rise of Billie Eilish, by balancing out the darkness of those singles with some breezy, bouncing pop jams.

I dunno. I just don't know how you can write off Lizzo's talent like that. If the complaint is "grr truth hurts is overplayed", then sure - it's my least favourite Lizzo song, just for the repetitive, plonking beat. But listening to her other songs where she's showing off range and versatility unmatched by a lot of pop starlets, and writing the whole thing off as bubblegum pop? Bad take, imo.

I appreciate the recs, but I'm not vibing with any of these guys. I can respect it, but I'm not really digging it.

I dunno. I was on a JPEGMAFIA kick last year where I got a lot of mileage out of Drake Era, Black Moses and Awake (thanks Spotify shuffle play), I really dig King Kunta from Kendrick Lamar and there's a 3005 remix from Childish Gambino that I like.

https://youtu.be/wfTv2WZZMpU

And as if I'm not enough of a normie, I really dig the chill vibe of the DJ Khaled song I'm The One. Like Justin Bieber is a little dipshit, but I dig that simple beat and it's just a light and breezy summer track.

Rap isn't usually my bag, I tend to chill with like The Weakerthans, King Gizzard or The Bennies - so like chill indie folk rock, Gizz's more hard sort of stuff like Nonagon Infinity, or Australian party rock. But I can dig a good beat, which I think Godzilla has. The only issue is that whatever Eminem is doing in that track just devalues the whole thing for me, it doesn't sound good.

Eminem's fast rapping is a stale sound. I've never been the biggest Eminem fan since his shit was jammed down my throat by a drunk parent and pretty much everyone in my childhood, but I can appreciate his older stuff to a degree. And he's always had fast bars, like in Without Me, but this motor mouth shit just isn't vibing with me. Juice Wrld's chorus has some corny lyrics, but I can vibe with his voice and I like how his rapping is a distinct break from Eminem's verses.

But man, give me that beat. It's big, it's bouncy and it's fun. If someone doesn't do a remix, or like freestyle over it or something, I'm gonna be big mad. That beat needs better material.

Because if you call them nazis or neonazis people get too hung up on the but theyre not real nazis!! thing. Its easier to just skip all that and get to the point

Nazis, sure - I can see that happening. But neo-Nazis have been a thing for decades, and it's a fight worth fighting to paint white nationalists and any other "soft" ideology as the newest generation of neo-Nazis. Anyone in the way of identifying them as neo-Nazis would probably have a dog in that fight, as there's not such a strong case in regards to historical precedent like there is for people arguing about "Nazi" alone.

Neo-Nazis have no social context outside of being bald, violent goons. Their movement is a lot more modern and flexible than what we know as your run of the mill, WWII Nazi stormtrooper. White nationalism is just the latest resurgence of those bald, violent goons, changing their face to get away with the same shit. No-one in their right mind is going to get their panties in a twist over labelling a far-right extremist group "neo-Nazis" compared to just calling them "Nazis", because neo-Nazis have always been known as violent wannabe fascists from the moment that they were first defined decades ago.

lol why are you bothered by racists being too stupid to realize "white nationalist" is meant to be inflammatory. when i call someone a white nationalist, its quite obvious there's nothing respectful about. and ive got moderations that can attest to that.

I mean fair enough, but why even bother with the term any more? We all regard it as racist garbage, and it's more or less synonymous with racism and neo-Nazi ideology.

But it still acts as a buffer between someone being called a neo-Nazi, and I think to really put this ideology in the ground and make it too toxic to associate with, it would work better to call them neo-Nazis.

Any sane person thinks white nationalism is a bunch of racist dogshit, but even at its worst it's not going to have the same bite as calling someone a skinhead. Throwing out "white nationalism" in favor of calling them "neo-Nazis" is an instant, iconic shutdown of what they represent that everybody understands clearly, and no-one can really come back from that once the connection is made.

I think the main difference between the two is Nazis want non whites killed wheres Nationalists just want them deported or something.

Both of them serve to create a white ethnostate at the expense of non-white races. There is a difference, but it's to achieve the same goal.

---

Now Playing: Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Assassin's Creed

They're fucking neo-Nazis. Calling them "white nationalists" obfuscates that and gives them a name that's less inflammatory. They believe that places like America, Britain and Australia have too many other races that aren't white, and they want to see the white population go up while other race's populations go down. They're literally just espousing another branch of neo-Nazi belief.

It's like how racists want to be called "racial realists" so they can talk about affirmative action being bad, or push fake crime statistics about minority-on-minority crime from shitholes like Breitbart to insinuate that those races are more violent than white people. It's a label that's a lot softer than "racist" or "neo-Nazi". You're letting them dress up as someone with credibility, and by using the more preferable term to them, you're validating or legitimising their cause to them. The greater scope of their words and actions is paved over, because they're a "racial realist", not a racist - by virtue of that distinction, the implication is that they're trying to act in good faith. Which, of course, they aren't.

I feel like we should take "white nationalist" out of the popular vernacular, and use it as a distinction within the wider label of "neo-Nazi". Like "this kid who shot up a church was radicalised on The Base by neo-Nazi rhetoric, from the content of their posts they were into the white nationalism side of things". Nest the term "white nationalism" within "neo-Nazi", and refer to them as neo-Nazis first and foremost - just a different offshoot working towards the same goal.

This might seem like an overly nitpicky issue to suggest, but even though we all know who these scumfucks are, the term "white nationalism" is a whole lot less objectionable than "neo-Nazi" to the naked ear. It's conspicuous enough that most people can pick up that it's some racist dogshit, but the sum of both words on their own are a lot less loaded than "neo-Nazi" and it adds an air of legitimacy to their views by virtue of that relative softness. A fascist prick like Richard Spencer can dress up and get an interview on TV because he's talking about this new right-wing ideology called white nationalism - when in reality he's a fucking neo-Nazi. He wouldn't have gotten a platform like he did in the wake of Donald Trump's victory if we called his repugnant, shit-stain ideology what it really was. And even with the label standing for racist ideals, I think more neo-Nazi scum stand to benefit from dressing their beliefs in terms that people consider to be politically legitimate.

Ultimately, referring to them as white nationalists first and foremost only legitimises what they're trying to accomplish. It's like the broader term "alt-right", where believers in the ideology want a non-loaded, trendy moniker to spread their bullshit. White nationalism is, at least compared to a term like "alt-right", useful as a descriptor - it does tell you the school of thought that these people espouse. My argument here is that white nationalism is just another branch of the neo-Nazi ideology, and it should be referred to as a proponent of neo-Nazi ideology instead of being regarded as its own separate thing. Like I said - instead of identifying people as white nationalists, it might be a better call to regard them as "neo-Nazis with white nationalist beliefs".

We're getting too complacent with the term "white nationalist". If you believe in white nationalism, then you believe in core tenets that are shared by neo-Nazis and deserve to be labelled among that group. White nationalists are neo-Nazis, and their shit-stain political label deserves to be thrown out in favor of labelling the bunch of fuckers as wholesale neo-Nazis.

everyone's like "it's nakers, she said nakers! you gotta listen to it at .75 or .25 to hear it!" - like nah bro, I'm good. I heard it at full speed, it sounds like what it sounds like, and whether it's a flub or a gaffe or whatever, she's probably gonna lose her job for this. I doubt the people watching the news cared to go back and listen to it slower to try and get her off the hook.

Like someone else said, it's much more likely she said Knickers, which is a British/Australian slang term for underwear - albeit completely unintentionally. It's pretty telling that I haven't seen three or so of the accounts downplaying this in months, if ever - it's like they signed back in specifically to downplay an accidental racial slur on the news.

The thing here is that even if she didn't say the n word, and it was a genuine flub - which it very well could have been - that shit still sounded uncomfortably close to the n word. You can rewind and slow down the word as much as you want to pick out different enunciations in realtime, but listening to that broadcast at full speed it sounds like she uses the n word to address a dead black man. In the best possible scenario, it's a genuine gaffe that I'm sure she's very sorry for. But it still happened, and it still sounded like what it sounded like. Y'all can stop with the 4D chess now.
