    "Why care about other countries instead of focusing on our own" is often a manipulative way to say "let's allow xenophobia and sacrifice other nationalities to fuel our own".

    And I'm sorry, but the guy in the last picture probably has it much easier than people going through the war in Ukraine.

    The justification of Israel was "we are fighting terrorists".

    Call it whatever you'd like, according to this, they did not recognize it as a government, and as such we have horrible terrorist acts on one side, and government-backed war crimes on the other side.

    And also, the death count is not really comparable, and Israel using its status of a government to mass-murder civilians is much closer to the nazis than to a terrorist attack.

    The scale and the nature of the authors of these crimes are not leaving a doubt as to who is the main problem now.

    The guy is a nazi trying to pull off some utterly stupid rethoric of "oh noes the evil trans people are coming to discriminate against us and replace us".

    I've never seen something so absurd and would advise the writer to go seek help.

    What I'm seeing is a guy who panics because he's a transphobic piece of shit and is seeing that the world is changing and he won't be allowed to be discriminatory as much as before. And he's using the typical crap of "why not sit and talk" that nazis love to use. "Why do you censor my nazi opinions instead of talking about why we should kill black people or not?" would be a similar line.

  • Do you think The Sims will ever implement more unfortunate/disappointing aspects of real life into the game?

    People don't play the sims to feel bad about life.

    While some things definitely could use more depth, they also definitely don't need to add the anxiety of real life.

    Seriously, how can something where "rent hikes" are mentioned be fun, unless your hobby is to be a fan of finance or something?

    It feels like those people who want to put racism and rape in their TTRPG for "realism". It's a game, it doesn't have to contain realistic things, and unless it's a horror game it shouldn't try to mimic the shitty parts of reality.

    Et du coup en quoi être un raciste anti-immigration le fait se démarquer de ses prédecesseurs ?

    Ah et aussi la réthorique des "jeunes" qui sont un danger extrême apparemment (souvent lié à la propagande du mineur isolé qui est un terroriste violeur tueur à a source de tous les maux du pays), rien de très nouveau.

    Après oui, foutre de la police partout dans les rues après avoir explosé le résidu de démocratie en France, et en passant des lois de plus en plus authoritaires, c'est une belle rupture qui rappelle celle d'il y a un peu moins d'une centaine d'années.

  • Hello, Since the Shatteted PD updates of the crystal caves (including beta versions), it seems like the game "lags" as in, seems to skip frames without actually freezing. This happens starting from the 6th level, not before, and stays the rest of the game. The main menu also seems to have the background animations sort of skip the same way but in a less obvious way. This makes the game a bit annoying to play as sometimes you try to, let's say, attack, nothing happens so you press again, and suddenly you move where the enemy (who died during the frame skip) previously was, causing a lot of various unintended consequences. The problem shouldn't be with my phone considering that my system did not change and the game worked perfectly before updating. Anyone else has this issue?

    J'ai découvert un peu plus en détail la vision de la pédophilie en France. Il semblerait qu'en plus d'être à la source d'un tas d'idées pédo, la France héberge et récompense tout un tas de pedophiles connus, coupables et qui en sont fiers. Je pensais que Polanski était une (horrible) exception, mais non, et c'est loin d'être le pire (Matzneff vient en tête, je vous invite à lire sa page wikipédia qui ressemble à un roman d'horreur, cette merde écrit des livres où il se vante de ses viols et reçoit des récompenses littéraires en échange). En bref : c'est quoi cette merde ? Pourquoi le "pays de la démocratie" (mon cul) défend les pires horreurs et les pires ordures, sans aucune réaction de qui que ce soit ? Et pas d'excuses à la "c'est la loi blablabla", la loi ne tolère pas l'apologie de la pédophilie, et si la loi défend ces sous-merdes alors il faut changer la loi immédiatement. Quoi le putain?

    Conservatism or fear-mongering

    To my knowledge, the concept of "conservatism" is the will to conserve, preserve past values that are seen as superior. While I don't agree with this either, this community has almost exclusively posts about fearing new things and trying to show them as evil. Evil migrants, evil new generations, evil new sexualities, whatever. I do not see any "values" in it, only fear. Rejecting migrants is not based on morals or values that are rational, but on fear. Same for the rest. Which leads to the question, what is the point of this community? It does not lead to debate, people calling it out as fascism on one side (which is quite justified as the root ideas are seemingly identical) and the other side just saying that it's wrong and that's it. There's no debate of values, as there are no values to debate about. I do not agree with the concept of conservatism, and I couldn't care less if this place is forever doomed to be downvoted in oblivion. But if you actually want to do something else than fear-mongering, even if you insist on talking about conservatism, then maybe it would be a good idea to refocus the community on actual ideas, and not the typical far-right speeches of hatred and fear that already flood a lot of media. Of course I believe that it would be better to reconsider opinions that basically encourage the worst of humanity; but even aside from that, there is more to do than to replace every possibility of a conversation with the (stereo)typical "immigrants bad, jesus good, gays evil" speech.

    I've been watching the various Star Trek shows for a while now, and while not finished I saw most of them, I believe. And I cannot shake off the feeling that the messages given by these shows, especially (and almost exclusively) recent ones are pushing horrible morals that most people seem to not care about. # Slavery I posted before, in the middle of my watching of Enterprise, that the show was supporting slavery because of the Cogenitor episode. Many comments disagreed, some even saying that they don't remember anything supporting slavery at all in the show. That was before I watched more. The show contains a full episode that is just about showing that: - Sex slaves are not only acceptable, they're "sexy" and cool and negotiating with slavers is a good thing - Sex trafficking of individuals groomed since they are born into being sex slaves is **the fault of the victims for "seducing" men** ??? How is this show not fine with human trafficking at this point? Is all that you need to avoid controversy, to paint the slaves in green? I still cannot comprehend the lack of reaction on this show. Add to that the frequent crimes of war by Archer and you have a nice cocktail of humanity's finest horror. # Section 31 This is also something that seems absurd to me. When it first appeared, it was already a gestapo/kgb-like group that ignores the concept of democracy, laws, and justice - in other words a horrible group - but its existence as a starfleet element was blurry. But with modern shows, they keep on bringing it back, and directly saying that it is supported by starfleet, and a good thing, or at least a necessary one. The thing is that what made starfleet supposedly admirable was, if not every single individual's morals, the morality of their concept, their laws, their structure. Having section 31 be condoned by starfleet transforms starfleet from "utopian future of humanity" (which it was supposed to be) to "dictatorship that pretends to be a democracy but supports crimes of war and above-the-law groups". In other words, it destroys the concept of starfleet. # Discriminations, sexism, and other shitty ideas, morals and behaviours Now this one is maybe more blurry and subjective, but it is scattered all across, nonstop. Let's start chronologically ## DS9 For this show, the constant misogyny is nothing hard to see. But they still went out of their way to put some nasty things here and there. The episode with Quark "becoming" a woman was interesting. Quark discovers a different point of view, gains insight and empathy, that's nice! Until the end of the episode directly says "no nevermind, he was like that because of hormones, and was just an overly emotional woman because of that". Because after all, women are hysterical, right? . Other than that, we have the toxic relationship between Keiko and O'Brian, the toxic relationship between Dax and Worf, the toxic relationship between Odo and Kira, the toxic relationship between Sisco and his wife, Jake who constantly shows that when a teen boy is targeted by pedophiles, the teen is both responsible for it, and liking it (one second, I need to throw up in a corner), etc. And of course there is the rest, between Cisco crimes against humanity, Bashir (that's all I'll say, nothing else needed), and the weird pro-religious message that doesn't make sense. ## Enterprise We already talked about their view of child/human trafficking which I think gives the tone of the show. But of course that's not enough, so let's put some sexual scenes about the women in particular, rape scenes with TPol because who doesn't like rape culture, Malcolm "PoS" Reed talking like a creep about "bums", Reed and Tucker with their "haha lol, these alien women are ugly because you can't tell if they are women or not" and other toxic masculinity scenes, etc. Oh and I almost forgot about the sex scene between teen siblings that serve no other purpose than to show teens having incestuous sex. ## Picard What do we have here, more weird sibling sexual scenes, people getting manipulated mentally and sexually to extract information, murderers who get away with it because betraying the federation and killing innocents is fine if you're a scenario character (reminds me of something else...*AhemelnorAhem*)... Oh, and I almost forgot the amazing scene with a white Picard in his white British empire colonist outfit, going on the planet of the tan refugees who hate the federation, kicks everything around and tries to show that he's the boss. I guess this show regrets colonies too, huh. ## Discovery Now I didn't finish this one yet, and it's hard. We have klingons that start off as a weird racist stereotype of africans seen by colonialists from a century ago: black skin, tribal armors, weird "foreign" language that the show intentionally refuses to translate through the UT, and when they speak english it's with a strong guttural accent. And they're barbaric, scary cannibals who fight with sticks and knives, and are a bunch of disorganised tribes, with weird magic rituals that allow them to do weird brainwashing. I'm almost surprised they don't carry voodoo dolls while dancing around a bonfire. The fact that people describe this show as "woke" is funny to me. We have very explicit rape and gore torture scenes, for what purpose, I don't know. We have people forgiven of murder because it wasn't their mind, but then it is and everyone is fine with it. And then there's more section 31 shit. There's also the vision of asylum in this show that basically says "we grant asylum whenever we want, not based on the situation but on personal preferences", with Georgiou granting asylum despite the prime directive, and then Pike refusing asylum because of it. It's surprising that starfleet would allow that, but at least it's not Archer-level, sending people to death then blaming the ones who tried to help them. ## SNW As far as I remember, nothing as bad as the rest here. The take on eugenics and "augmented" individuals is really absurd though, showing starfleet hating on Una is fine because her species is augmented (like the denobulans who are in starfleet though, no?), but the stupid security officer who has DNA augmentations from a crazy evil dictator engineered to be violent and crazy, is allowed without any issue. ## All of them One thing that I struggle understanding is the constant of racist stereotypes. They're everywhere, because all the shows use them to define their characters. Keiko wants to eat her traditional food in a kimono, Georgiou wears a big kimono-like dress that would barely fit in a Mulan movie, Elnor is a ridiculous samurai-ninja with the fitting outfit, etc. As if in hundreds of years, after earth is united and mixed with hundreds of alien species, "cultures" would not evolve and mix but instead go back to being very split apart and caricatural. # P.S. I'm not saying that the shows are shit, but that I am worried about the lack of discussions concerning all those subjects. Star Trek is supposed to be progressive and show a better version of humanity, one that evolved and grew, and yet morals seem to not be a consideration of the shows anymore.
