One webm for Gawker, another for the bottom photo popping up. Still amazed people are dogpiling on James like this. You'd almost think there is an agenda here. OH WAITTrude said:
What was it? It still exists but only once someone manages to flip the pub club switch again.
OT: I'm still waiting for BlaxploitationBusters.
Ya know I keep hearing going on about agendas. Everyone accuses everyone of being in on some grand scheme to enforce their political views. Ya got people being like the Redpills and MRA are plotting! or 4Chan is plotting! Or the Feminist and the Rainbow Armada are plotting!LegendaryGamer0 said:
Am I the only one here feeling that's really paranoid? Also it sounds exhausting. I look at all this drama shit for recreation but even after an hour of it, I'm tired just reading it and forming opinions on it.
Could it not be, just waaayyyyyyy more likely whats going on isn't a targeted attack on James Rolfe and his career but... just people genuinely reacting, right or wrong? and maybe a few others trying to exploit drama for money?
The idea of all these things working in the shadows? I don't buy it. You know how hard that would be to pull off with no one knowing? But I suppose it's more comforting for people to think theres a conspiracy against a line of thinking or a reason for the abuse then a bunch of scared little children in the world have finally become adults and none of us have a single fucking clue what we are doing here. Why ***** about the new ghostbusters? Well it's better than dwelling on our mortality isn't it?
tl;dr I don't see any agenda at all here, I just see a world thats entirely rudderless and oohhhh thats far more scary.
Agenda may or may not have been the right word for what I was meaning. Actually, it is the right one for the most part. I was implying that it was using Rolfe as a face for people who dislike the movie and shitting all over him, and thus promoting the movie even further.DudeistBelieve said:
I'd take the scary over seeing major news outlets being legitimately retarded.
Can we please just stop putting "neo-" in front of everything as though that makes it look more radical and extremist? It doesn't, it just looks like the bizarre hybrid of strawman ("progressivism is an extremist, hostile movement") with a built-in escape hatch ("well obviously not all progressives, just the, you know, neo ones").Sigmund Av Volsung said:

OT: Yes OP, you are crazy, having opinions is the worst thing you can have. It implies you came to a conclusion on your own.
How come absolutely nobody cared when ComicBookGirl19 said this? https://youtu.be/lQIuTGfPHvA?t=409
Hell, she's proposing an actual boycott of this movie. All James said is that he personally doesn't want to see it. He didn't even tell anybody else not to.
James doesn't deserve this garbage. People like Dane Cook ought to think before they open their damn mouths about things and people they know nothing about.

So, you care to back that up, or are you just gonna make a statement like that without evidence? Cause outside of the Nerd and Board James personas, Rolf's pretty laid back and easy to get along with, to the point I'm not getting anything about James throwing tantrums.Something Amyss said:
Unless you actually ARE basing your stance entirely on the characters he plays, which honestly kind of scares me.
Nothing that causes this much pointless discord can possibly be a good thing.
A think somebody chose the form of the destroyer, and it was this film.

Omg, the red text. And look! There's a tweet of a woman saying she cant wait for Ghostbusters. And another person saying they're going to see the movie!Karadalis said:
WHEN WILL THE HATE END?!??!?
EDIT: Also tainting things with feminism is my new favourite thing to do. Sorry dude, you can't have some of this cake, it's tainted by feminism.
Nobody would want that cake though, because it would be the bitterest cake in the world.Phasmal said:
Excuse you, son. My cakes are freaking awesome. You can't even taste the feminism... until it's too late. By then you're already seeing men and women as equal, and queueing up for the new Ghostbusters movie while drinking male tears from a sippy cup.Breakdown said:

At least MovieBob saved the day lol.

I'm a varied cake feminist. I can make all kinds. My most recent creation was a Blueberry Lemon Drizzle cake. It came out lovely, though the recipe was a bit different than the standard Lemon Drizzle I usually make. The trick with the feminism is to whisper about equality and then gently fold those whispers into the batter.RaikuFA said:
