Hey man, you offered it as an option. I did try to read through the thread, but I don't have a strong grasp of what people are really talking about anyway. Mostly because I chose to read the thread backwards for reasons lost to time, but I also suspect that a number of people aren't actually arguing with each other so much as they are responding to people who aren't speaking...Agayek said:
Status euphoric and had hover mode where both hilarious.
Also it was nice to see Omega and Beta rather then the Alpha/Beta where beta is Omega.
Shame you don't know what the differences are:
Beta= second in command or someone who will assume command if ask but has no wish to be "top-dog"
Omega= follows what Alpha and Beta say would rather be populate then right, don't mind dicking people over is the Alpha tells them too.
basically you Beta and Omega where the wrong way around.
The Zimmerman comment was a bad step though, that was at best Tangential about race and Zimmerman wasn't even white.
So you're basically just giving your enemies a stick to beat you with.
7/10 better luck next time

No it doesn't. That's like saying an episode of South Park casually mocks tall people because the target of that week's mockery happens to be a basketball player or something.Bluelaughter said:
It's a bullshit fallacy at best.
Now these may actually have some merit. I'm still not really seeing why it's cause enough to rant and rave and insult people for over 300 posts, but I'm also the kinda guy who can't see why just about anything is cause enough for that, so I guess I'll just have to deal with it.Bluelaughter said:
I did, and it may well be what's going on. I guess I'm just looking for an answer that's more satisfying than that. /shrugEvilRoy said:
pft, ya, those idiots. It's like people who complain about Katara from Last Airbender being cast as a white girl, or Zuko being India. If you get upset about that kind of thing, your a bad person.Taunta said:
For the record, as an avid fan, I have never seen a single comment like that. I recommend not visiting sites like that if that's such a common thing. It's like reading youtube comments or 4chan posts, you're just asking for trolls.
A more accurate read might just be that the internet says it's acceptable to hate on Bronies right now.
They killed the black guy.;_;
All of this Escapist content is ruining my innocence. I'm too young to be exposed to all these horrors of the world.
Did you not already see what that stuff about veganism did to my poor mental health? How I responded?
Give my poor innocence back, Escapist. You heartless monsters.
Also, as a My Little Pony fan, I'm not sure how to feel about this. But the making fun of racism was pretty funny.

Well it's just lazy to make fun of white people. It's easy because of all the horrible things associated with them, but it's just plain lazy and a real cop-out in terms of writing.
This comic is just about on par with every "stupid husband can't figure out how to work a gadget" commercial ever made in terms of effort.
While it is true that yes, race shouldn't matter and protagonists should be allowed to have any amount of melanin in their skin, we just don't have enough developers/writers around in this industry that can identify with not having less melanin to properly portray a character without their melanin level becoming their defining character trait in most cases.
It's a chicken and egg thing, there aren't a lot of lead characters with skin tones other than 255 red, 255 green, and 255 blue around, so people without those mixes of color feel ostracized and don't get into the industry, and because they don't get into the industry, the tones stay the same color levels because the developers/writers can only personally identify with those color combinations.
The same goes for almost every entertainment industry, that's what creates idiots like Tyler Perry and all that misogynist, generic "gangsta rap", because they are the only ones filling a niche, so they get all the money and praise from their respective communities. It's like if Silent Hill was the ONLY horror game, naturally it would make all the money, and it's why indie games are so successful right now, because they fill niches that no one else is filling.
It's just going to take a long time until things balance out in such a way where characters lacking more sunburn/skin cancer-friendly tones aren't dominating all of our media (especially games), but in the meantime, making lazy comics like these just to provoke rage and be click-bait is doing nothing to further us to that point. No, we shouldn't just sit back and "wait" for things to change, but comics like these will not incite positive, natural change. It just creates pressure and unnecessary rage.
We need rational, grounded advocacy groups. Not trolling.

Oh, then where is he? I mean, besides that one time he joined the discussion. Because, you know, that really defends my accusation so fervently.lacktheknack said:
Edit: Good man, right above me. It's one thing to fling shit, it's another to stand in front of it.
Except that they would be for the sort of folks this comic would be making fun of to begin with.xplosive59 said:
Or /pol/, who was formerly /int/, which was formerly /new/, which was formerly /n/. Which is one of the biggest White Nationalist lolligags around the internets. And people like SRS say that Reddit is bad, 4chan lives up to its reputation. In fact, probably the only reason Reddit is so terrible is that a handful of 4channers floated onto the site. The reason SRS hate them is because they're receiving the fallout of a far more terrible site.
Speaking of which, it would appear likely that someone on /pol/ linked to this. And I suspect that quenlinlom could be a /pol/ user who decided to bravely take action and sign up for this 'evil, white hating site' to show us who's boss in the name of glorious 4chan. Don't forgive, don't forget, and all that! If history tells us anything, it's that 4chan won't forgive enemies of the glorious white raceTM. Note all the Greentexting and mocking both tumblr and Reddit as casual, white hating social network sites.
Hey 4chan, thanks for the Touhou and the My Little Pony. Now go away and leave the internet peacefully, please.
And besides, <link=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/posts/Grey+Carter?f_sort=datestamp+desc&f_page=2>here's his decently long string of posts during the "MOAR FUNNY ;___;" days.chronobreak said:
You didn't choose the right contributor to call a coward, I gotta say.
Tips for getting over 300 comments:
1. Take as many divisive issues as you can.
2. Boil everything down into the most ham fisted straw man possible.
3. Add insult to other large groups where ever possible.
4. Post
5. Act surprised and hurt when called out on what this kind of post is.
It worked for Sarkeesian. Time to throw a kickstarter up for making this a comic series.

Did you read my comment about how this is 2tumblr4me hahaha, I guess that's a maybe since the mods hid it away. anyways, in all seriousness, I only found the "Zimmerman mode" to tickle my funny bones. JUst found the rest too dull...Grey Carter said:
The only good this comic did is how 4chan changed it so it's actually funny. which will no doubt be the only reason it's ever going to be remembered. Not only that but as funny as it is this to the average person on the net will look like a politicly correct rip off.
