#MeToo and Cancel Culture: Friday is bring your own torches and pitchforks day!

[Duke Nukem]

No, some religious types were protesting a convention and he confronted them, and had words with them.

These types of people are part of the reason I'm not a christian anymore.

It's also hilarious that people were calling him homophobic while he says stuff like he did in that video.

Remember, that Vic is equally Christian as them. So, you shouldn't let people like them push you of a faith, it should be your own personal feelings, and if they are a problem you should also take people like Vic into account as well in your calculation.

Also this is why so many allegations against him are bullshit, Vic is not a hateful man. He is loving, and a true follower of his faith.

He also knows that you can have fun, even if all this fictional sex&violence entertainment+fanservice+cosplay is considered “immoral” whilst still being a very good Christian

Yeah, he’s part of the proof that even Conservatives enjoy sex and violence

Hell, look up John Ringo and Larry Correia

You CAN be religious whilst loving those “immoral” stuff that “Moral Guardians” who censored D&D disliked

"Vic literally has the power of God and Anime on his side. "

Comment of the year.

Honestly, I think the really old and in your face, censorious, unfun religious right types will have to deal with themselves losing to the newer funner ancap, maybe religious but not as much of an ass, libertarian right

Alright sorry.

Well anyway to get back on topic, Vic mignogna's appeal finally got into court .

A lot of people are watching this, Vic is a clear cut case were the guy is innocent and we have tweets, and social media evidence that there was a plot to fuck him over for shits and giggles. For a lot of guys if this kind of clear cut case doesnt get proper justice then that means there is no way to get justice through the legal system.

IF the judge has any brains he will let this case through and let these people experience conquences for their actions. The alternative is a strong message that the only justice you can get if your a man is the kind you create for yourself.

That and something to make ladies complaining about guys reacting to #MeToo by limiting or stopping interaction with females

An increased noticable level of paranoia amongst men alongside a withdrawl

 

[Darmani]

I hope those assholes Monica Rial and Sean finally get their comeuppances .

I'm done with some comfortable calling someone a liar about sexual harassment accusations the big problem in my opinion has more to do with the nature of the crime as it's encoded in law then any of the accusers. Effectively it gives condemnation power to the individual citizen. All you have to prove that there was an interaction at the person if you did ask harassment and as a result the accused is guilty no that's literally how it works

I understand why things are written that way after all saying a be nice Claus ultimately favors the people who are powerful like Harvey Weinstein who obviously we'll never have to concede even a token amount

but not only is the overall culture disproportionately set up to favor the usual revenge for white women narrative that's got a lot of black people killed over the years just to be excessive in discrediting The Narrative of nobody would ever lie and or exaggerated or misuse the law as a vehicle for roof and repression. It effectively makes it so the accusation is the evidence is the judgment.

Despite all of this how aside from the fact that we like Vic mignogna is it certain that his coworkers are lying and it's are lying why or what about?

The Satanic Panic and especially the DnD scare of the 80s didn't originate with the religious. It originated with the mainstream media and Hollywood. One of the biggest coups the media has ever pulled is managing to make people forget their own involvement in the moral panics while shifting the blame to the religious right, who has been a major opponent of theirs since the 1960s.

I think 1d4chan, not exactly a great and ultra reliable source, said that Hollywood was making movies sorta exploiting or making a "case" to scare people out of D&D

Perhaps, but you cannot deny that some within the religious right were enthusiastic about their support of a great many moral panics in the past.

All you need is a very vocal minority and to give in to said minority, if the rest of the religious right and right stay silent or don't argue enough against them, then well they win

I'm not denying that, but people more remember the anti-DnD Jack Chick comic, which, let's be honest, likely saw very limited distribution, than they remember the 60 Minutes Special. Note, even in the Wiki I linked, the 60 minutes special is given a handful of sentences, compared to the various religious figures who had opinions on it. How many books or people do you think read those things or saw the anti-DnD chick comic? A few thousand, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands?

60 Minutes' estimated audience in 1985 was over 20 million. To put that into perspective, the US population is estimated to be around 240 million in 1985, which means that nearly a TENTH of the US population watched 60 Minutes. So, which do you find more likely, niche religious books and tracts being the primary vector for pushing the Moral Panic against RPGs, or a television show watched by about one in ten people in the US?

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the first time you've even heard about the 60 minute special, it's been effectively memory holed, while everyone here knows about the Chick Comic I'm referring to.

So it looks like the cancel culture folks are afraid of the people who survive cancel culture.

Considering what they do to people that's probally a legit worry because eventally you reap what you sow.

 

[Lanmandragon]

I'm not sure what to call that sentiment since it's a trait that happens in different forms.

Right now it's just activism to feel good about yourself without considering the consequences.

Previously it's stuff of the consequences of interfering in a proxy war. The locals would be the ones to feel the brunt of it.

It's called "white man's burden" and it's a form of racism. Based on whites heing supiroeri and thereforegaving an obligation. To uplift the "lesser" minority,hence afframitive action etc.

Makes them stronger? Well, probably less vulnerable to caring what society thinks/accuses them of

But stronger? I think if they survive it, they still have to deal with the stigma wherein they have to deal with things even if its proven they're innocent

Not really Chapelle publically dissed SJW culture. They utterly failed to silence him.

I think he had the slight advantage of not being white, so it'd look really awkward as hell silencing him

Nope Ricky gervais did the same thing and is white. They aren't invincible they can bleed.
