Greetings!

Of course white people are being marginalized. In film, music, in academia, business, everywhere, white people are discriminated against, and vilified.

Hell, we have an Editor at the NYT, Jong I think her name is--that wrote on her Twitter that white people are the problem in society, and that white people should be exterminated. Women everywhere should not breed with white men.

She kept her job, and was applauded and celebrated for her vicious hatred and racism.

So, yeah. I imagine the D&D movie will show all kinds of minorities and women as being "stunning and brave"--while white men especially are laughed at and depicted as incometent doofuses. Naturally, according to the Woke, if you are a minority, you are special, and uber, and beautiful, and if you are white, you are inferior.

I don't have high expectations for the D&D movie.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

You too on the "this isn't white enough for me" train?

So disappointed.

Greetings!

No, I'm not on any train. I am, however, disgusted with the constant shrieking throughout society about how great minorities and "POC", "BIPOC" and women are--and how terrible and inferior white people are, especially white men. This bullshit has been going on for awhile now, and it is disgusting. I've read all kinds of articles about business, colleges, music, movie and Hollywood, where white people, especially white men--are hated and mocked, while women, and "BIPOC" are praised to the fucking heavens, and endlessly and constantly celebrated as fucking beautiful, uber, and wonderful in every way.

It's flat out fucking racism.

So, while I'm not on any train, if white men are depicted as idiots in this D&D movie, it isn't surprising to me. I like normal, happy people, and normal, appropriate stories. I'm not a fan of racist fucking morons, or bullshit racist garbage that masquerades as "academic truth" or popular entertainment, of whatever kind, and in whatever medium or venue.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

Greetings hermano, well put!

I saw the trailer, let me tell you about it:

The only white (and lets be honest, he's straight) male on the good guy's side is an incompetent bufoon, constantly outshined by everybody and emasculated by the stunning and brave stronk independent wahmen who don't need no fish.

Yeah, it's also a hard pass from me. There was a time when I could overlook that because there were other stuff where it balanced out, now? They can get bent.

Oh fucking puh-lease.

You all sound like the most whinny bitch racists ever right now.

This is bog standard Hollywood diversity casting thats been a thing for at least 3 iterations of SJWs trying to twist it out of shape. Theres nothing wrong with the casting other than the castings diversity is so weak kneed they went with people that at a glance you can barely tell are minorities. And one whos a minority only when the SJWs allow them to be.

They went the safest route possible and cast the whitest looking minorities they could lay hands on. Or would take the job.

As for the barbarian gal. Oh give me a fucking break. Shes a bog standard snarky amazon type. Nothing new here to get your panties in a knot over.

But no no no. Its all oh woe is me! Dem evil whammens is scarededing me!

Fuck sake the lot of you are going to make perfect little next wave SJWs.

The more I look at the trailer the more it looks like an IDW comic. And that is not a good thing.

Yes, you're right, this Maya is a white supremacist...

Or, hear me out, that's what I saw and those are my sincere opinions that have nothing to do with the characters' race but with the writting.

Or you could keep on trying to give me white guilt.

You might not be a white supremacist but you sure seem plenty racist. And don't even try and tell me Mexicans of Maya origin are not racist - I work with several, and you know I know there are plenty of racists in your part of the world. Often even more blatant than in America.

Are you actually trying to "white guilt" Mexicans now?

No, I am calling a racist a racist. No white guilt involved. Are you trying to argue only white people can be racist?

Holy cow, you are! ;D And I'm sure your Mexican co-workers absolutely loooooove it when you try to "white guilt" them. What would be the conservative talking point? "Mexicans are the real racists?"

Good grief, there's so much "derp" in this thread! ;D

Misty, quick! Call blacks "racist" next! At the very least, call the Chinese "racist" for rejecting this D&D train wreck....since the potential Chinese market for a D&D movie is HUGE. But if the Chinese mostly refuse to watch movies with blacks or various forms of racial mystery meat in them, then you can just label them as "white-adjacent" anyway....and thus, safely denigrate them as "racist".

Right? 8)

You know what? Just start calling people "Nazis", Misty. We all know you want to. ::)

Look, chief....I'll lay this out for you again. You cannot effectively shame people or "white guilt" people into consuming a corporate product. It doesn't work. It especially doesn't work when that Hasbro whistleblower revealed that the mega-corporation that controls the Dungeons & Dragons IP (in this case, Hasbro) is covertly trying to "social engineer" (brainwash) millions of people via neo-Marxist propaganda through branding and messaging. That's what CRT is for. The whistleblower was suspended for revealing this. What a surprise. ::)

Misty, when you denigrate someone as a "racist", you're basically casting a spell. Not a D&D spell, but you're using weaponized language as a form of psychological warfare....in order to win arguments, and break people's spirit. It's a classic neo-Marxist SJW demoralization tactic, and it's not very nice. And even worse, you're doubling down on it, against those "filthy Mexican Nazi Mayan racists!" Misty, your "magic demoralization attack word" ("racist!!") is not working, and is making you look like an ethically disingenuous neo-Marxist asshole. My advice to you would be to stop doubling down.

Like I said before, the "derp" in this thread is nearly beyond belief. 8)

Are you trying to argue only white people can be racist? It's a simple question which, despite your pages of ranting, you have yet to answer.

Oh, my God.....you're still doing it. ::)

Please. Make. It. Stop.

Misty, stop virtue signaling. Stop demanding that people submit to your neo-Marxist purity tests. It's very obnoxious. At this point, I think you know that the movie is just a giant exercise in neo-Marxist propaganda. I already discussed Hasbro covertly using CRT to "socially engineer" millions of people, and that's what this movie is for. That's the entire purpose of the creation of this D&D movie (aside from money laundering). I know you know this. So what did you do?

You tried to "white guilt" Mexicans about their "racism". And then you doubled down, like a pit bull in heat....and you still won't stop. Doubling down? Hell, you're even tripling down. ::)

And no, it's NOT a simple question. When you keep autistically repeating this:

Quote from: MistwellAre you trying to argue only white people can be racist?

That "question" you "asked" is not really a question, and we both know it. Just because you put a question mark at the end of your sentence doesn't mean that you're actually asking a question. You're being deliberately ethically disingenuous by using a slur ("racist!!"), under the guise of a question. You think I'm unaware of what you're really doing? I know exactly what you're doing, Misty, and I would suggest that you stop doing it.

When you call someone "racist", you are a using a SLUR, and you know it. You're intentionally using a term of denigration. You are using a demoralization tactic. In other words, you're engaging in psychological warfare. This is like a "socially acceptable" way of calling someone the "n-word" (while just "asking a simple question!" ::) ), and the only reason why it's "socially acceptable", is because westerners have been subject to intense neo-Marxist psychological warfare every single day for years. This psychological warfare is sometimes called "social justice", but I think the term is meant to be ironic.

And again, the weaponized use of the word, "racist", is like casting a spell, or using a curse against your opponent......for the purpose of crushing your target's morale. What you're doing is REPEATING THE MAGIC WORD OVER AND OVER AGAIN, so you can feign having the moral high ground......which we both know that you do not truly have. 8)

So yes, Misty, I did answer your so-called "question", but you just didn't like the answer. ;)

You're still distracting and ducking and strawmanning and doing everything you can to avoid answering the question. And yes, it is in fact a simple question. Do you think non-white people can be racist? It's a yes or no answer. I don't think anyone else here would have trouble answering that question including the guy we're talking about. I think we all agree of course non-white people can be racist. All except you, who is avoiding answering it like it's some trick. I guess because you feel guilty or something? Or maybe you're just an idiot.

And yes, calling someone a racist IS INTENDED AS AN INSULT. I have no idea why you think you're making some great point by mentioning that? I am saying he is a racist, and I absolutely mean that as an insult. Because being a racist, which he is, is not a good thing. And I am calling him that not-good-thing with intent. Not because it's false, but because it's true. And he should feel insulted by it. And maybe, yah know, stop being such a fucking racist?

And no, insulting someone by accurately calling them a racist is not "psychological warfare" you idiotic drama queen. Welcome to TheRPGSite. In case you were not aware, insulting people around here is not "psychological warfare," it is rather a day of the week ending in the letters "ay." And our insults tend to be best when they're accurate - like mine was and is. Much like calling you an idiot. Which you are.

I am signaling nothing by calling a racist a racist. It's the same signal I'd be sending if I called an idiot like you an idiot. There is no guilt, white or otherwise, involved in my calling that racist a racist. Just as there is no guilt involved in my calling you an idiot for being an idiot.

So yes, him arguing the movie is bad because it's not white enough for him is a racist statement. It doesn't matter what the color of his skin is, or his geographic or social or ethnic or religious background. It's still a racist thing to say regardless of those factors. And if you still think he can't be a racist because he's non-white, then you might be even more an idiot that you're coming across as in this thread. But I doubt you think that - I think you know damn well a non-white person can be a racist, and that he is a racist, and you'd rather not directly discuss those topics.

Also, this movie is likely to make a boatload of money, and that is the #1, #2 and #3 reasons for them making this movie. Your nonsense conspiracy theory that it's for Marxist propaganda and money laundering is just more evidence you're a fucking idiot.

You're still doing it. ;D

You didn't ask a question, Misty. You engaged in a line of attack, under the guise of a question. You launched an insult, under the guise of a question. You used a blatant neo-Marxist demoralization tactic, UNDER THE GUISE OF A QUESTION. ::)

You're not really here to discuss tabletop RPGs, are you, Misty? You don't seem interested in discussing D&D or the D&D movie. You only seem to care about pushing your precious "narrative". That's a shame.

But thank you for letting the mask slip a little, and for admitting that denigrating someone as a 'racist' is intended to be an INSULT. Well, if you insult a group or a person over and over and over and over again, then that's a demoralization tactic, Misty. That's psychological warfare.

I know you know this. We both know it. Why pretend otherwise? 8)

And by the way, you deliberately ignored what I said about Hasbro suspending that whistleblower for revealing their covert attempts at pushing CRT ("Critical Race Theory") propaganda through branding and messaging on children. I had a feeling you'd ignore it. ::) The whistleblower was black (which makes this funnier), and there are millions of people who resent being the targets of "social engineering", which is another term for BRAINWASHING. Well, why would a giant mega-corporation HIDE the fact that they're using propaganda against their customers, unless they were doing something evil? And yes, covertly pushing CRT propaganda to demoralize whites into believing they're all a bunch of filthy racists....is EVIL.

Again, Hasbro is the same company that utilized Chinese slave labor, the same company that manufactured and sold a pedo doll, the same company that had a bunch of PEDOPHILES in positions of influence and power in their Magic the Gathering Tournaments. And now Hasbro pushes weaponized CRT propaganda in their movie. Their precious little D&D movie is a delivery device for weaponized propaganda against the "racists". And who's a "racist"? A "racist" is anyone who rejects the "Narrative". You know what the so-called "Narrative" is, Misty, don'tcha? Of course you do, since you've been pushing it non-stop in this thread. ::)

If the movie fails, and people reject their precious anti-white "anti-racism" propaganda, then you can comfortably denigrate entire groups of people as "racist" for refusing to consume a corporate product. Of course, it might not "fail", since making money is NOT the primary goal of Hollywood ("Pedowood") any more. And besides, the men who control the banks control Pedowood, so they can just bail it out with a nearly endless amount of fiat currency. Or they can just do "ghost screenings" like they did for the "Captain Marvel" movie. Right? 8)

But that's ok, Misty. Keep insulting Mexicans as "racist" for refusing to watch the D&D movie. I'm sure that insulting Mexicans will make them want to watch the D&D movie so very much. But if that doesn't work, maybe you can insult blacks, whites, and Chinese as "racist"....and they'll be so ashamed of their "racism", that they'll rush out in droves to watch the movie.....as a form of penance. What a marketing strategy, right? ;D

But if that doesn't work, maybe you can insult blacks, whites, and Chinese as "racist"....and they'll be so ashamed of their "racism", that they'll rush out in droves to watch the movie.....as a form of penance. What a marketing strategy, right? ;D

What the actual fuck do you think is "anti-white" about this movie? It's not based on existing known characters whose race they're changing. It's a brand new story with brand new characters and nobody has had their race switched from anything to anything. So how is it anti-white to have the cast as it is? The only way to draw that conclusion is for you to be arguing it should be a more white cast, just because more white would in some way be "better".

And I am not insulting "Mexicans" I am insulting one guy from there. Unless you're Mexican? Because I sure am insulting you as well - just like you're insulting me. But it's only "psychological warfare" when I do it apparently. You whiney little drama queen bitch who can't take an insult without crying "psychological warfare!"

Greetings!

Of course white people are being marginalized. In film, music, in academia, business, everywhere, white people are discriminated against, and vilified.

Hell, we have an Editor at the NYT, Jong I think her name is--that wrote on her Twitter that white people are the problem in society, and that white people should be exterminated. Women everywhere should not breed with white men.

She kept her job, and was applauded and celebrated for her vicious hatred and racism.

So, yeah. I imagine the D&D movie will show all kinds of minorities and women as being "stunning and brave"--while white men especially are laughed at and depicted as incometent doofuses. Naturally, according to the Woke, if you are a minority, you are special, and uber, and beautiful, and if you are white, you are inferior.

I don't have high expectations for the D&D movie.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

You too on the "this isn't white enough for me" train?

So disappointed.

Greetings!

No, I'm not on any train. I am, however, disgusted with the constant shrieking throughout society about how great minorities and "POC", "BIPOC" and women are--and how terrible and inferior white people are, especially white men. This bullshit has been going on for awhile now, and it is disgusting. I've read all kinds of articles about business, colleges, music, movie and Hollywood, where white people, especially white men--are hated and mocked, while women, and "BIPOC" are praised to the fucking heavens, and endlessly and constantly celebrated as fucking beautiful, uber, and wonderful in every way.

It's flat out fucking racism.

So, while I'm not on any train, if white men are depicted as idiots in this D&D movie, it isn't surprising to me. I like normal, happy people, and normal, appropriate stories. I'm not a fan of racist fucking morons, or bullshit racist garbage that masquerades as "academic truth" or popular entertainment, of whatever kind, and in whatever medium or venue.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

Greetings hermano, well put!

I saw the trailer, let me tell you about it:

The only white (and lets be honest, he's straight) male on the good guy's side is an incompetent bufoon, constantly outshined by everybody and emasculated by the stunning and brave stronk independent wahmen who don't need no fish.

Yeah, it's also a hard pass from me. There was a time when I could overlook that because there were other stuff where it balanced out, now? They can get bent.

Oh fucking puh-lease.

You all sound like the most whinny bitch racists ever right now.

This is bog standard Hollywood diversity casting thats been a thing for at least 3 iterations of SJWs trying to twist it out of shape. Theres nothing wrong with the casting other than the castings diversity is so weak kneed they went with people that at a glance you can barely tell are minorities. And one whos a minority only when the SJWs allow them to be.

They went the safest route possible and cast the whitest looking minorities they could lay hands on. Or would take the job.

As for the barbarian gal. Oh give me a fucking break. Shes a bog standard snarky amazon type. Nothing new here to get your panties in a knot over.

But no no no. Its all oh woe is me! Dem evil whammens is scarededing me!

Fuck sake the lot of you are going to make perfect little next wave SJWs.

The more I look at the trailer the more it looks like an IDW comic. And that is not a good thing.

Yes, you're right, this Maya is a white supremacist...

Or, hear me out, that's what I saw and those are my sincere opinions that have nothing to do with the characters' race but with the writting.

Or you could keep on trying to give me white guilt.

You might not be a white supremacist but you sure seem plenty racist. And don't even try and tell me Mexicans of Maya origin are not racist - I work with several, and you know I know there are plenty of racists in your part of the world. Often even more blatant than in America.

Are you actually trying to "white guilt" Mexicans now?

No, I am calling a racist a racist. No white guilt involved. Are you trying to argue only white people can be racist?

Holy cow, you are! ;D And I'm sure your Mexican co-workers absolutely loooooove it when you try to "white guilt" them. What would be the conservative talking point? "Mexicans are the real racists?"

Good grief, there's so much "derp" in this thread! ;D

Misty, quick! Call blacks "racist" next! At the very least, call the Chinese "racist" for rejecting this D&D train wreck....since the potential Chinese market for a D&D movie is HUGE. But if the Chinese mostly refuse to watch movies with blacks or various forms of racial mystery meat in them, then you can just label them as "white-adjacent" anyway....and thus, safely denigrate them as "racist".

Right? 8)

You know what? Just start calling people "Nazis", Misty. We all know you want to. ::)

Look, chief....I'll lay this out for you again. You cannot effectively shame people or "white guilt" people into consuming a corporate product. It doesn't work. It especially doesn't work when that Hasbro whistleblower revealed that the mega-corporation that controls the Dungeons & Dragons IP (in this case, Hasbro) is covertly trying to "social engineer" (brainwash) millions of people via neo-Marxist propaganda through branding and messaging. That's what CRT is for. The whistleblower was suspended for revealing this. What a surprise. ::)

Misty, when you denigrate someone as a "racist", you're basically casting a spell. Not a D&D spell, but you're using weaponized language as a form of psychological warfare....in order to win arguments, and break people's spirit. It's a classic neo-Marxist SJW demoralization tactic, and it's not very nice. And even worse, you're doubling down on it, against those "filthy Mexican Nazi Mayan racists!" Misty, your "magic demoralization attack word" ("racist!!") is not working, and is making you look like an ethically disingenuous neo-Marxist asshole. My advice to you would be to stop doubling down.

Like I said before, the "derp" in this thread is nearly beyond belief. 8)

Are you trying to argue only white people can be racist? It's a simple question which, despite your pages of ranting, you have yet to answer.

Oh, my God.....you're still doing it. ::)

Please. Make. It. Stop.

Misty, stop virtue signaling. Stop demanding that people submit to your neo-Marxist purity tests. It's very obnoxious. At this point, I think you know that the movie is just a giant exercise in neo-Marxist propaganda. I already discussed Hasbro covertly using CRT to "socially engineer" millions of people, and that's what this movie is for. That's the entire purpose of the creation of this D&D movie (aside from money laundering). I know you know this. So what did you do?

You tried to "white guilt" Mexicans about their "racism". And then you doubled down, like a pit bull in heat....and you still won't stop. Doubling down? Hell, you're even tripling down. ::)

And no, it's NOT a simple question. When you keep autistically repeating this:

Quote from: MistwellAre you trying to argue only white people can be racist?

That "question" you "asked" is not really a question, and we both know it. Just because you put a question mark at the end of your sentence doesn't mean that you're actually asking a question. You're being deliberately ethically disingenuous by using a slur ("racist!!"), under the guise of a question. You think I'm unaware of what you're really doing? I know exactly what you're doing, Misty, and I would suggest that you stop doing it.

When you call someone "racist", you are a using a SLUR, and you know it. You're intentionally using a term of denigration. You are using a demoralization tactic. In other words, you're engaging in psychological warfare. This is like a "socially acceptable" way of calling someone the "n-word" (while just "asking a simple question!" ::) ), and the only reason why it's "socially acceptable", is because westerners have been subject to intense neo-Marxist psychological warfare every single day for years. This psychological warfare is sometimes called "social justice", but I think the term is meant to be ironic.

And again, the weaponized use of the word, "racist", is like casting a spell, or using a curse against your opponent......for the purpose of crushing your target's morale. What you're doing is REPEATING THE MAGIC WORD OVER AND OVER AGAIN, so you can feign having the moral high ground......which we both know that you do not truly have. 8)

So yes, Misty, I did answer your so-called "question", but you just didn't like the answer. ;)

You're still distracting and ducking and strawmanning and doing everything you can to avoid answering the question. And yes, it is in fact a simple question. Do you think non-white people can be racist? It's a yes or no answer. I don't think anyone else here would have trouble answering that question including the guy we're talking about. I think we all agree of course non-white people can be racist. All except you, who is avoiding answering it like it's some trick. I guess because you feel guilty or something? Or maybe you're just an idiot.

And yes, calling someone a racist IS INTENDED AS AN INSULT. I have no idea why you think you're making some great point by mentioning that? I am saying he is a racist, and I absolutely mean that as an insult. Because being a racist, which he is, is not a good thing. And I am calling him that not-good-thing with intent. Not because it's false, but because it's true. And he should feel insulted by it. And maybe, yah know, stop being such a fucking racist?

And no, insulting someone by accurately calling them a racist is not "psychological warfare" you idiotic drama queen. Welcome to TheRPGSite. In case you were not aware, insulting people around here is not "psychological warfare," it is rather a day of the week ending in the letters "ay." And our insults tend to be best when they're accurate - like mine was and is. Much like calling you an idiot. Which you are.

I am signaling nothing by calling a racist a racist. It's the same signal I'd be sending if I called an idiot like you an idiot. There is no guilt, white or otherwise, involved in my calling that racist a racist. Just as there is no guilt involved in my calling you an idiot for being an idiot.

So yes, him arguing the movie is bad because it's not white enough for him is a racist statement. It doesn't matter what the color of his skin is, or his geographic or social or ethnic or religious background. It's still a racist thing to say regardless of those factors. And if you still think he can't be a racist because he's non-white, then you might be even more an idiot that you're coming across as in this thread. But I doubt you think that - I think you know damn well a non-white person can be a racist, and that he is a racist, and you'd rather not directly discuss those topics.

Also, this movie is likely to make a boatload of money, and that is the #1, #2 and #3 reasons for them making this movie. Your nonsense conspiracy theory that it's for Marxist propaganda and money laundering is just more evidence you're a fucking idiot.

You're still doing it. ;D

You didn't ask a question, Misty. You engaged in a line of attack, under the guise of a question. You launched an insult, under the guise of a question. You used a blatant neo-Marxist demoralization tactic, UNDER THE GUISE OF A QUESTION. ::)

You're not really here to discuss tabletop RPGs, are you, Misty? You don't seem interested in discussing D&D or the D&D movie. You only seem to care about pushing your precious "narrative". That's a shame.

But thank you for letting the mask slip a little, and for admitting that denigrating someone as a 'racist' is intended to be an INSULT. Well, if you insult a group or a person over and over and over and over again, then that's a demoralization tactic, Misty. That's psychological warfare.

I know you know this. We both know it. Why pretend otherwise? 8)

And by the way, you deliberately ignored what I said about Hasbro suspending that whistleblower for revealing their covert attempts at pushing CRT ("Critical Race Theory") propaganda through branding and messaging on children. I had a feeling you'd ignore it. ::) The whistleblower was black (which makes this funnier), and there are millions of people who resent being the targets of "social engineering", which is another term for BRAINWASHING. Well, why would a giant mega-corporation HIDE the fact that they're using propaganda against their customers, unless they were doing something evil? And yes, covertly pushing CRT propaganda to demoralize whites into believing they're all a bunch of filthy racists....is EVIL.

Again, Hasbro is the same company that utilized Chinese slave labor, the same company that manufactured and sold a pedo doll, the same company that had a bunch of PEDOPHILES in positions of influence and power in their Magic the Gathering Tournaments. And now Hasbro pushes weaponized CRT propaganda in their movie. Their precious little D&D movie is a delivery device for weaponized propaganda against the "racists". And who's a "racist"? A "racist" is anyone who rejects the "Narrative". You know what the so-called "Narrative" is, Misty, don'tcha? Of course you do, since you've been pushing it non-stop in this thread. ::)

If the movie fails, and people reject their precious anti-white "anti-racism" propaganda, then you can comfortably denigrate entire groups of people as "racist" for refusing to consume a corporate product. Of course, it might not "fail", since making money is NOT the primary goal of Hollywood ("Pedowood") any more. And besides, the men who control the banks control Pedowood, so they can just bail it out with a nearly endless amount of fiat currency. Or they can just do "ghost screenings" like they did for the "Captain Marvel" movie. Right? 8)

But that's ok, Misty. Keep insulting Mexicans as "racist" for refusing to watch the D&D movie. I'm sure that insulting Mexicans will make them want to watch the D&D movie so very much. But if that doesn't work, maybe you can insult blacks, whites, and Chinese as "racist"....and they'll be so ashamed of their "racism", that they'll rush out in droves to watch the movie.....as a form of penance. What a marketing strategy, right? ;D

What the actual fuck do you think is "anti-white" about this movie? It's not based on existing known characters whose race they're changing. It's a brand new story with brand new characters and nobody has had their race switched from anything to anything. So how is it anti-white to have the cast as it is? The only way to draw that conclusion is for you to be arguing it should be a more white cast, just because more white would in some way be "better".

And I am not insulting "Mexicans" I am insulting one guy from there. Unless you're Mexican? Because I sure am insulting you as well - just like you're insulting me. But it's only "psychological warfare" when I do it apparently. You whiney little drama queen bitch who can't take an insult without crying "psychological warfare!"

Didn't you say this to GeekyBugle on page 8? 8)

Quote from: MistwellYou might not be a white supremacist but you sure seem plenty racist. And don't even try and tell me Mexicans of Maya origin are not racist - I work with several, and you know I know there are plenty of racists in your part of the world. Often even more blatant than in America.

You already admitted that the term "racist" or "racism" is an insult, Misty. ;) You said this:

Quote from: MistwellAnd yes, calling someone a racist IS INTENDED AS AN INSULT.

So...yes, you insulted Mexicans. Do you really think insults will inspire people to go see a D&D movie? Boy, you really should work for Hasbro! :D And by the way, you deliberately ignored all the discussion of covert, weaponized CRT propaganda that Hasbro is engaging in....just like I knew you would. 8)

But at least now I know that there's no need for me to take you seriously any more. The thread is yours. 8)

But thank you for letting the mask slip a little, and for admitting that denigrating someone as a 'racist' is intended to be an INSULT. Well, if you insult a group or a person over and over and over and over again, then that's a demoralization tactic, Misty. That's psychological warfare.

I know you know this. We both know it. Why pretend otherwise? 8)

And by the way, you deliberately ignored what I said about Hasbro suspending that whistleblower for revealing their covert attempts at pushing CRT ("Critical Race Theory") propaganda through branding and messaging on children. I had a feeling you'd ignore it. ::) The whistleblower was black (which makes this funnier), and there are millions of people who resent being the targets of "social engineering", which is another term for BRAINWASHING. Well, why would a giant mega-corporation HIDE the fact that they're using propaganda against their customers, unless they were doing something evil? And yes, covertly pushing CRT propaganda to demoralize whites into believing they're all a bunch of filthy racists....is EVIL.

Again, Hasbro is the same company that utilized Chinese slave labor, the same company that manufactured and sold a pedo doll, the same company that had a bunch of PEDOPHILES in positions of influence and power in their Magic the Gathering Tournaments. And now Hasbro pushes weaponized CRT propaganda in their movie. Their precious little D&D movie is a delivery device for weaponized propaganda against the "racists". And who's a "racist"? A "racist" is anyone who rejects the "Narrative". You know what the so-called "Narrative" is, Misty, don'tcha? Of course you do, since you've been pushing it non-stop in this thread. ::)

If the movie fails, and people reject their precious anti-white "anti-racism" propaganda, then you can comfortably denigrate entire groups of people as "racist" for refusing to consume a corporate product. Of course, it might not "fail", since making money is NOT the primary goal of Hollywood ("Pedowood") any more. And besides, the men who control the banks control Pedowood, so they can just bail it out with a nearly endless amount of fiat currency. Or they can just do "ghost screenings" like they did for the "Captain Marvel" movie. Right? 8)

But that's ok, Misty. Keep insulting Mexicans as "racist" for refusing to watch the D&D movie. I'm sure that insulting Mexicans will make them want to watch the D&D movie so very much. But if that doesn't work, maybe you can insult blacks, whites, and Chinese as "racist"....and they'll be so ashamed of their "racism", that they'll rush out in droves to watch the movie.....as a form of penance. What a marketing strategy, right? ;D

What the actual fuck do you think is "anti-white" about this movie? It's not based on existing known characters whose race they're changing. It's a brand new story with brand new characters and nobody has had their race switched from anything to anything. So how is it anti-white to have the cast as it is? The only way to draw that conclusion is for you to be arguing it should be a more white cast, just because more white would in some way be "better".

And I am not insulting "Mexicans" I am insulting one guy from there. Unless you're Mexican? Because I sure am insulting you as well - just like you're insulting me. But it's only "psychological warfare" when I do it apparently. You whiney little drama queen bitch who can't take an insult without crying "psychological warfare!"

Didn't you say this to GeekyBugle on page 8? 8)

Quote from: MistwellYou might not be a white supremacist but you sure seem plenty racist. And don't even try and tell me Mexicans of Maya origin are not racist - I work with several, and you know I know there are plenty of racists in your part of the world. Often even more blatant than in America.

You already admitted that the term "racist" or "racism" is an insult, Misty. ;) You said this:

Quote from: MistwellAnd yes, calling someone a racist IS INTENDED AS AN INSULT.

So...yes, you insulted Mexicans. Do you really think insults will inspire people to go see a D&D movie? Boy, you really should work for Hasbro! :D And by the way, you deliberately ignored all the discussion of covert, weaponized CRT propaganda that Hasbro is engaging in....just like I knew you would. 8)

But at least now I know that there's no need for me to take you seriously any more. The thread is yours. 8)

I said PLENTY, not "ALL" or even "MOST". Add Weasel to the insults I am accurately describing you as.

And I note you didn't even attempt to address the topics I raised. Because there is nothing you have - you're arguing the movie needs more white people because more white people would in some way be "better" and that's it. That's your entire argument. That more white people, purely because they're white, is what would make it better casting.

This is exactly what PLENTY of people in the film industry believe, and this DnD flick, at least at first blush, appears to be no different. Yet somehow I don't think you'll call them racist. You are either willfully ignorant of this blindspot in your judgment, or you're certifiably retarded.

Its a movie preview!

NOT a treatise or argument about race or sub-culture issues.

Also, the Title of the thread is very WRONG.

The movie looks like a lot of Fun based on the Trailer.

Does it really, though? Cuz this is D&D, and the film is set at the Forgotten Realms, which has a pretty diverse landmass, not some entirely quasi-European setting. So it's not entirely outside the realm of possibility for there to be non-white characters in it. This isn't like trying to stick black people into the Witcher, which is supposed to be based on quasi-medieval Poland. And the story isn't even set on an established IP where they're race swapping characters, but an entirely new thing.

The only reason for people to jump into the conclusions they've been hyper ventilating about in this thread from just watching this trailer is the cultural context we're currently living on and a heavy dose of being overly invested in the culture war. But there's not enough in the trailer itself to so strongly draw these conclusions on, other than "OMG! They made fun of the lead character! And he's white!!! And they're not!"

Greetings!

Of course white people are being marginalized. In film, music, in academia, business, everywhere, white people are discriminated against, and vilified.

Hell, we have an Editor at the NYT, Jong I think her name is--that wrote on her Twitter that white people are the problem in society, and that white people should be exterminated. Women everywhere should not breed with white men.

She kept her job, and was applauded and celebrated for her vicious hatred and racism.

So, yeah. I imagine the D&D movie will show all kinds of minorities and women as being "stunning and brave"--while white men especially are laughed at and depicted as incometent doofuses. Naturally, according to the Woke, if you are a minority, you are special, and uber, and beautiful, and if you are white, you are inferior.

I don't have high expectations for the D&D movie.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

You too on the "this isn't white enough for me" train?

So disappointed.

Greetings!

No, I'm not on any train. I am, however, disgusted with the constant shrieking throughout society about how great minorities and "POC", "BIPOC" and women are--and how terrible and inferior white people are, especially white men. This bullshit has been going on for awhile now, and it is disgusting. I've read all kinds of articles about business, colleges, music, movie and Hollywood, where white people, especially white men--are hated and mocked, while women, and "BIPOC" are praised to the fucking heavens, and endlessly and constantly celebrated as fucking beautiful, uber, and wonderful in every way.

It's flat out fucking racism.

So, while I'm not on any train, if white men are depicted as idiots in this D&D movie, it isn't surprising to me. I like normal, happy people, and normal, appropriate stories. I'm not a fan of racist fucking morons, or bullshit racist garbage that masquerades as "academic truth" or popular entertainment, of whatever kind, and in whatever medium or venue.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

Greetings hermano, well put!

I saw the trailer, let me tell you about it:

The only white (and lets be honest, he's straight) male on the good guy's side is an incompetent bufoon, constantly outshined by everybody and emasculated by the stunning and brave stronk independent wahmen who don't need no fish.

Yeah, it's also a hard pass from me. There was a time when I could overlook that because there were other stuff where it balanced out, now? They can get bent.

Oh fucking puh-lease.

You all sound like the most whinny bitch racists ever right now.

This is bog standard Hollywood diversity casting thats been a thing for at least 3 iterations of SJWs trying to twist it out of shape. Theres nothing wrong with the casting other than the castings diversity is so weak kneed they went with people that at a glance you can barely tell are minorities. And one whos a minority only when the SJWs allow them to be.

They went the safest route possible and cast the whitest looking minorities they could lay hands on. Or would take the job.

As for the barbarian gal. Oh give me a fucking break. Shes a bog standard snarky amazon type. Nothing new here to get your panties in a knot over.

But no no no. Its all oh woe is me! Dem evil whammens is scarededing me!

Fuck sake the lot of you are going to make perfect little next wave SJWs.

The more I look at the trailer the more it looks like an IDW comic. And that is not a good thing.

Yes, you're right, this Maya is a white supremacist...

Or, hear me out, that's what I saw and those are my sincere opinions that have nothing to do with the characters' race but with the writting.

Or you could keep on trying to give me white guilt.

You might not be a white supremacist but you sure seem plenty racist. And don't even try and tell me Mexicans of Maya origin are not racist - I work with several, and you know I know there are plenty of racists in your part of the world. Often even more blatant than in America.

Are you actually trying to "white guilt" Mexicans now?

No, I am calling a racist a racist. No white guilt involved. Are you trying to argue only white people can be racist?

Holy cow, you are! ;D And I'm sure your Mexican co-workers absolutely loooooove it when you try to "white guilt" them. What would be the conservative talking point? "Mexicans are the real racists?"

Good grief, there's so much "derp" in this thread! ;D

Misty, quick! Call blacks "racist" next! At the very least, call the Chinese "racist" for rejecting this D&D train wreck....since the potential Chinese market for a D&D movie is HUGE. But if the Chinese mostly refuse to watch movies with blacks or various forms of racial mystery meat in them, then you can just label them as "white-adjacent" anyway....and thus, safely denigrate them as "racist".

Right? 8)

You know what? Just start calling people "Nazis", Misty. We all know you want to. ::)

Look, chief....I'll lay this out for you again. You cannot effectively shame people or "white guilt" people into consuming a corporate product. It doesn't work. It especially doesn't work when that Hasbro whistleblower revealed that the mega-corporation that controls the Dungeons & Dragons IP (in this case, Hasbro) is covertly trying to "social engineer" (brainwash) millions of people via neo-Marxist propaganda through branding and messaging. That's what CRT is for. The whistleblower was suspended for revealing this. What a surprise. ::)

Misty, when you denigrate someone as a "racist", you're basically casting a spell. Not a D&D spell, but you're using weaponized language as a form of psychological warfare....in order to win arguments, and break people's spirit. It's a classic neo-Marxist SJW demoralization tactic, and it's not very nice. And even worse, you're doubling down on it, against those "filthy Mexican Nazi Mayan racists!" Misty, your "magic demoralization attack word" ("racist!!") is not working, and is making you look like an ethically disingenuous neo-Marxist asshole. My advice to you would be to stop doubling down.

Like I said before, the "derp" in this thread is nearly beyond belief. 8)

Are you trying to argue only white people can be racist? It's a simple question which, despite your pages of ranting, you have yet to answer.

Oh, my God.....you're still doing it. ::)

Please. Make. It. Stop.

Misty, stop virtue signaling. Stop demanding that people submit to your neo-Marxist purity tests. It's very obnoxious. At this point, I think you know that the movie is just a giant exercise in neo-Marxist propaganda. I already discussed Hasbro covertly using CRT to "socially engineer" millions of people, and that's what this movie is for. That's the entire purpose of the creation of this D&D movie (aside from money laundering). I know you know this. So what did you do?

You tried to "white guilt" Mexicans about their "racism". And then you doubled down, like a pit bull in heat....and you still won't stop. Doubling down? Hell, you're even tripling down. ::)

And no, it's NOT a simple question. When you keep autistically repeating this:

Quote from: MistwellAre you trying to argue only white people can be racist?

That "question" you "asked" is not really a question, and we both know it. Just because you put a question mark at the end of your sentence doesn't mean that you're actually asking a question. You're being deliberately ethically disingenuous by using a slur ("racist!!"), under the guise of a question. You think I'm unaware of what you're really doing? I know exactly what you're doing, Misty, and I would suggest that you stop doing it.

When you call someone "racist", you are a using a SLUR, and you know it. You're intentionally using a term of denigration. You are using a demoralization tactic. In other words, you're engaging in psychological warfare. This is like a "socially acceptable" way of calling someone the "n-word" (while just "asking a simple question!" ::) ), and the only reason why it's "socially acceptable", is because westerners have been subject to intense neo-Marxist psychological warfare every single day for years. This psychological warfare is sometimes called "social justice", but I think the term is meant to be ironic.

And again, the weaponized use of the word, "racist", is like casting a spell, or using a curse against your opponent......for the purpose of crushing your target's morale. What you're doing is REPEATING THE MAGIC WORD OVER AND OVER AGAIN, so you can feign having the moral high ground......which we both know that you do not truly have. 8)

So yes, Misty, I did answer your so-called "question", but you just didn't like the answer. ;)

You're still distracting and ducking and strawmanning and doing everything you can to avoid answering the question. And yes, it is in fact a simple question. Do you think non-white people can be racist? It's a yes or no answer. I don't think anyone else here would have trouble answering that question including the guy we're talking about. I think we all agree of course non-white people can be racist. All except you, who is avoiding answering it like it's some trick. I guess because you feel guilty or something? Or maybe you're just an idiot.

And yes, calling someone a racist IS INTENDED AS AN INSULT. I have no idea why you think you're making some great point by mentioning that? I am saying he is a racist, and I absolutely mean that as an insult. Because being a racist, which he is, is not a good thing. And I am calling him that not-good-thing with intent. Not because it's false, but because it's true. And he should feel insulted by it. And maybe, yah know, stop being such a fucking racist?

And no, insulting someone by accurately calling them a racist is not "psychological warfare" you idiotic drama queen. Welcome to TheRPGSite. In case you were not aware, insulting people around here is not "psychological warfare," it is rather a day of the week ending in the letters "ay." And our insults tend to be best when they're accurate - like mine was and is. Much like calling you an idiot. Which you are.

I am signaling nothing by calling a racist a racist. It's the same signal I'd be sending if I called an idiot like you an idiot. There is no guilt, white or otherwise, involved in my calling that racist a racist. Just as there is no guilt involved in my calling you an idiot for being an idiot.

So yes, him arguing the movie is bad because it's not white enough for him is a racist statement. It doesn't matter what the color of his skin is, or his geographic or social or ethnic or religious background. It's still a racist thing to say regardless of those factors. And if you still think he can't be a racist because he's non-white, then you might be even more an idiot that you're coming across as in this thread. But I doubt you think that - I think you know damn well a non-white person can be a racist, and that he is a racist, and you'd rather not directly discuss those topics.

Also, this movie is likely to make a boatload of money, and that is the #1, #2 and #3 reasons for them making this movie. Your nonsense conspiracy theory that it's for Marxist propaganda and money laundering is just more evidence you're a fucking idiot.

You're still doing it. ;D

You didn't ask a question, Misty. You engaged in a line of attack, under the guise of a question. You launched an insult, under the guise of a question. You used a blatant neo-Marxist demoralization tactic, UNDER THE GUISE OF A QUESTION. ::)

You're not really here to discuss tabletop RPGs, are you, Misty? You don't seem interested in discussing D&D or the D&D movie. You only seem to care about pushing your precious "narrative". That's a shame.

That more white people, purely because they're white, is what would make it better casting.

"More diverse people, purely because they're diverse, is what would make it better casting."

Nobody has made that argument. This is the cast they chose. Everyone looks to be good actors, they all have a long track record of good acting except one (and she's white), and they appear to play their role well. The only criticism so far in this thread is the color of their skin isn't white. That's it. That's the only objection raised about the cast - not that they should have chosen better actors, or they don't fit the roles they're playing, or anything like that. Just that they're not white, and that alone is a reason to criticize it.

Which is racist. Plain and simple, that's racist. What else would it be?

QuoteThis is exactly what PLENTY of people in the film industry believe, and this DnD flick, at least at first blush, appears to be no different. Yet somehow I don't think you'll call them racist. You are either willfully ignorant of this blindspot in your judgment, or you're certifiably retarded.

Don't bother responding, I won't entertain your nonsense.

I start from the basic premise I care about the acting ability and how well they fit the role - not the color of their skin. If I see someone say "We cast this person purely because of the color of their skin" I will call that racist. But there is zero evidence of that. Everyone cast has a long track record of good acting except one - and she's white.

We do have 100% confirmed evidence here of people saying it was a bad thing to cast people who were not white enough for these roles, as the only basis for that criticism. Which is racist. Of course it's racist. The only basis of the criticism is the color of their skin. What else would that be, other than racism?

This bullshit has been going on for awhile now, and it is disgusting. I've read all kinds of articles about business, colleges, music, movie and Hollywood, where white people, especially white men--are hated and mocked, while women, and "BIPOC" are praised to the fucking heavens, and endlessly and constantly celebrated as fucking beautiful, uber, and wonderful in every way.

It's flat out fucking racism.

So, while I'm not on any train, if white men are depicted as idiots in this D&D movie, it isn't surprising to me. I like normal, happy people, and normal, appropriate stories. I'm not a fan of racist fucking morons, or bullshit racist garbage that masquerades as "academic truth" or popular entertainment, of whatever kind, and in whatever medium or venue.

Semper Fidelis,

Greetings hermano, well put!

I saw the trailer, let me tell you about it:

The only white (and lets be honest, he's straight) male on the good guy's side is an incompetent bufoon, constantly outshined by everybody and emasculated by the stunning and brave stronk independent wahmen who don't need no fish.

Yeah, it's also a hard pass from me. There was a time when I could overlook that because there were other stuff where it balanced out, now? They can get bent.

Oh fucking puh-lease.

You all sound like the most whinny bitch racists ever right now.

This is bog standard Hollywood diversity casting thats been a thing for at least 3 iterations of SJWs trying to twist it out of shape. Theres nothing wrong with the casting other than the castings diversity is so weak kneed they went with people that at a glance you can barely tell are minorities. And one whos a minority only when the SJWs allow them to be.

They went the safest route possible and cast the whitest looking minorities they could lay hands on. Or would take the job.

As for the barbarian gal. Oh give me a fucking break. Shes a bog standard snarky amazon type. Nothing new here to get your panties in a knot over.

But no no no. Its all oh woe is me! Dem evil whammens is scarededing me!

Fuck sake the lot of you are going to make perfect little next wave SJWs.

The more I look at the trailer the more it looks like an IDW comic. And that is not a good thing.

Yes, you're right, this Maya is a white supremacist...

Or, hear me out, that's what I saw and those are my sincere opinions that have nothing to do with the characters' race but with the writting.

Or you could keep on trying to give me white guilt.

You might not be a white supremacist but you sure seem plenty racist. And don't even try and tell me Mexicans of Maya origin are not racist - I work with several, and you know I know there are plenty of racists in your part of the world. Often even more blatant than in America.

Are you actually trying to "white guilt" Mexicans now?

No, I am calling a racist a racist. No white guilt involved. Are you trying to argue only white people can be racist?

Holy cow, you are! ;D And I'm sure your Mexican co-workers absolutely loooooove it when you try to "white guilt" them. What would be the conservative talking point? "Mexicans are the real racists?"

Good grief, there's so much "derp" in this thread! ;D

Misty, quick! Call blacks "racist" next! At the very least, call the Chinese "racist" for rejecting this D&D train wreck....since the potential Chinese market for a D&D movie is HUGE. But if the Chinese mostly refuse to watch movies with blacks or various forms of racial mystery meat in them, then you can just label them as "white-adjacent" anyway....and thus, safely denigrate them as "racist".

Right? 8)

You know what? Just start calling people "Nazis", Misty. We all know you want to. ::)

Look, chief....I'll lay this out for you again. You cannot effectively shame people or "white guilt" people into consuming a corporate product. It doesn't work. It especially doesn't work when that Hasbro whistleblower revealed that the mega-corporation that controls the Dungeons & Dragons IP (in this case, Hasbro) is covertly trying to "social engineer" (brainwash) millions of people via neo-Marxist propaganda through branding and messaging. That's what CRT is for. The whistleblower was suspended for revealing this. What a surprise. ::)

Misty, when you denigrate someone as a "racist", you're basically casting a spell. Not a D&D spell, but you're using weaponized language as a form of psychological warfare....in order to win arguments, and break people's spirit. It's a classic neo-Marxist SJW demoralization tactic, and it's not very nice. And even worse, you're doubling down on it, against those "filthy Mexican Nazi Mayan racists!" Misty, your "magic demoralization attack word" ("racist!!") is not working, and is making you look like an ethically disingenuous neo-Marxist asshole. My advice to you would be to stop doubling down.

Like I said before, the "derp" in this thread is nearly beyond belief. 8)

Are you trying to argue only white people can be racist? It's a simple question which, despite your pages of ranting, you have yet to answer.

Oh, my God.....you're still doing it. ::)

Please. Make. It. Stop.

Misty, stop virtue signaling. Stop demanding that people submit to your neo-Marxist purity tests. It's very obnoxious. At this point, I think you know that the movie is just a giant exercise in neo-Marxist propaganda. I already discussed Hasbro covertly using CRT to "socially engineer" millions of people, and that's what this movie is for. That's the entire purpose of the creation of this D&D movie (aside from money laundering). I know you know this. So what did you do?

You tried to "white guilt" Mexicans about their "racism". And then you doubled down, like a pit bull in heat....and you still won't stop. Doubling down? Hell, you're even tripling down. ::)

And no, it's NOT a simple question. When you keep autistically repeating this:

Quote from: MistwellAre you trying to argue only white people can be racist?

That "question" you "asked" is not really a question, and we both know it. Just because you put a question mark at the end of your sentence doesn't mean that you're actually asking a question. You're being deliberately ethically disingenuous by using a slur ("racist!!"), under the guise of a question. You think I'm unaware of what you're really doing? I know exactly what you're doing, Misty, and I would suggest that you stop doing it.

When you call someone "racist", you are a using a SLUR, and you know it. You're intentionally using a term of denigration. You are using a demoralization tactic. In other words, you're engaging in psychological warfare. This is like a "socially acceptable" way of calling someone the "n-word" (while just "asking a simple question!" ::) ), and the only reason why it's "socially acceptable", is because westerners have been subject to intense neo-Marxist psychological warfare every single day for years. This psychological warfare is sometimes called "social justice", but I think the term is meant to be ironic.

And again, the weaponized use of the word, "racist", is like casting a spell, or using a curse against your opponent......for the purpose of crushing your target's morale. What you're doing is REPEATING THE MAGIC WORD OVER AND OVER AGAIN, so you can feign having the moral high ground......which we both know that you do not truly have. 8)

So yes, Misty, I did answer your so-called "question", but you just didn't like the answer. ;)

You're still distracting and ducking and strawmanning and doing everything you can to avoid answering the question. And yes, it is in fact a simple question. Do you think non-white people can be racist? It's a yes or no answer. I don't think anyone else here would have trouble answering that question including the guy we're talking about. I think we all agree of course non-white people can be racist. All except you, who is avoiding answering it like it's some trick. I guess because you feel guilty or something? Or maybe you're just an idiot.

And yes, calling someone a racist IS INTENDED AS AN INSULT. I have no idea why you think you're making some great point by mentioning that? I am saying he is a racist, and I absolutely mean that as an insult. Because being a racist, which he is, is not a good thing. And I am calling him that not-good-thing with intent. Not because it's false, but because it's true. And he should feel insulted by it. And maybe, yah know, stop being such a fucking racist?

And no, insulting someone by accurately calling them a racist is not "psychological warfare" you idiotic drama queen. Welcome to TheRPGSite. In case you were not aware, insulting people around here is not "psychological warfare," it is rather a day of the week ending in the letters "ay." And our insults tend to be best when they're accurate - like mine was and is. Much like calling you an idiot. Which you are.

I am signaling nothing by calling a racist a racist. It's the same signal I'd be sending if I called an idiot like you an idiot. There is no guilt, white or otherwise, involved in my calling that racist a racist. Just as there is no guilt involved in my calling you an idiot for being an idiot.

So yes, him arguing the movie is bad because it's not white enough for him is a racist statement. It doesn't matter what the color of his skin is, or his geographic or social or ethnic or religious background. It's still a racist thing to say regardless of those factors. And if you still think he can't be a racist because he's non-white, then you might be even more an idiot that you're coming across as in this thread. But I doubt you think that - I think you know damn well a non-white person can be a racist, and that he is a racist, and you'd rather not directly discuss those topics.

Also, this movie is likely to make a boatload of money, and that is the #1, #2 and #3 reasons for them making this movie. Your nonsense conspiracy theory that it's for Marxist propaganda and money laundering is just more evidence you're a fucking idiot.

You're still doing it. ;D

You didn't ask a question, Misty. You engaged in a line of attack, under the guise of a question. You launched an insult, under the guise of a question. You used a blatant neo-Marxist demoralization tactic, UNDER THE GUISE OF A QUESTION. ::)

You're not really here to discuss tabletop RPGs, are you, Misty? You don't seem interested in discussing D&D or the D&D movie. You only seem to care about pushing your precious "narrative". That's a shame.

But thank you for letting the mask slip a little, and for admitting that denigrating someone as a 'racist' is intended to be an INSULT. Well, if you insult a group or a person over and over and over and over again, then that's a demoralization tactic, Misty. That's psychological warfare.

I know you know this. We both know it. Why pretend otherwise? 8)

And by the way, you deliberately ignored what I said about Hasbro suspending that whistleblower for revealing their covert attempts at pushing CRT ("Critical Race Theory") propaganda through branding and messaging on children. I had a feeling you'd ignore it. ::) The whistleblower was black (which makes this funnier), and there are millions of people who resent being the targets of "social engineering", which is another term for BRAINWASHING. Well, why would a giant mega-corporation HIDE the fact that they're using propaganda against their customers, unless they were doing something evil? And yes, covertly pushing CRT propaganda to demoralize whites into believing they're all a bunch of filthy racists....is EVIL.

Again, Hasbro is the same company that utilized Chinese slave labor, the same company that manufactured and sold a pedo doll, the same company that had a bunch of PEDOPHILES in positions of influence and power in their Magic the Gathering Tournaments. And now Hasbro pushes weaponized CRT propaganda in their movie. Their precious little D&D movie is a delivery device for weaponized propaganda against the "racists". And who's a "racist"? A "racist" is anyone who rejects the "Narrative". You know what the so-called "Narrative" is, Misty, don'tcha? Of course you do, since you've been pushing it non-stop in this thread. ::)

If the movie fails, and people reject their precious anti-white "anti-racism" propaganda, then you can comfortably denigrate entire groups of people as "racist" for refusing to consume a corporate product. Of course, it might not "fail", since making money is NOT the primary goal of Hollywood ("Pedowood") any more. And besides, the men who control the banks control Pedowood, so they can just bail it out with a nearly endless amount of fiat currency. Or they can just do "ghost screenings" like they did for the "Captain Marvel" movie. Right? 8)

But that's ok, Misty. Keep insulting Mexicans as "racist" for refusing to watch the D&D movie. I'm sure that insulting Mexicans will make them want to watch the D&D movie so very much. But if that doesn't work, maybe you can insult blacks, whites, and Chinese as "racist"....and they'll be so ashamed of their "racism", that they'll rush out in droves to watch the movie.....as a form of penance. What a marketing strategy, right? ;D

What the actual fuck do you think is "anti-white" about this movie? It's not based on existing known characters whose race they're changing. It's a brand new story with brand new characters and nobody has had their race switched from anything to anything. So how is it anti-white to have the cast as it is? The only way to draw that conclusion is for you to be arguing it should be a more white cast, just because more white would in some way be "better".

And I am not insulting "Mexicans" I am insulting one guy from there. Unless you're Mexican? Because I sure am insulting you as well - just like you're insulting me. But it's only "psychological warfare" when I do it apparently. You whiney little drama queen bitch who can't take an insult without crying "psychological warfare!"

Didn't you say this to GeekyBugle on page 8? 8)

Quote from: MistwellYou might not be a white supremacist but you sure seem plenty racist. And don't even try and tell me Mexicans of Maya origin are not racist - I work with several, and you know I know there are plenty of racists in your part of the world. Often even more blatant than in America.

You already admitted that the term "racist" or "racism" is an insult, Misty. ;) You said this:

Quote from: MistwellAnd yes, calling someone a racist IS INTENDED AS AN INSULT.

So...yes, you insulted Mexicans. Do you really think insults will inspire people to go see a D&D movie? Boy, you really should work for Hasbro! :D And by the way, you deliberately ignored all the discussion of covert, weaponized CRT propaganda that Hasbro is engaging in....just like I knew you would. 8)

But at least now I know that there's no need for me to take you seriously any more. The thread is yours. 8)

I said PLENTY, not "ALL" or even "MOST". Add Weasel to the insults I am accurately describing you as.

And I note you didn't even attempt to address the topics I raised. Because there is nothing you have - you're arguing the movie needs more white people because more white people would in some way be "better" and that's it. That's your entire argument. That more white people, purely because they're white, is what would make it better casting.

Hey Misty, please provide the EXACT quote where I say: "the movie is bad because it's not white enough for me" and then, after you fail at doing so, go fuck yourself you disingenuous lying twat.

It comes from my repeatedly asking you about your position, and you avoiding answering it, which leads one to the conclusion that what your statements look like are exactly what they are. I'd love to hear more from you on the actual topic though. Please do clarify. Do you think it's a flaw of this movie that it doesn't have more white people, or that it has too many black or Hispanic people in it?

Greetings!

Of course white people are being marginalized. In film, music, in academia, business, everywhere, white people are discriminated against, and vilified.

Hell, we have an Editor at the NYT, Jong I think her name is--that wrote on her Twitter that white people are the problem in society, and that white people should be exterminated. Women everywhere should not breed with white men.

She kept her job, and was applauded and celebrated for her vicious hatred and racism.

So, yeah. I imagine the D&D movie will show all kinds of minorities and women as being "stunning and brave"--while white men especially are laughed at and depicted as incometent doofuses. Naturally, according to the Woke, if you are a minority, you are special, and uber, and beautiful, and if you are white, you are inferior.

I don't have high expectations for the D&D movie.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

You too on the "this isn't white enough for me" train?

So disappointed.

Greetings!

No, I'm not on any train. I am, however, disgusted with the constant shrieking throughout society about how great minorities and "POC", "BIPOC" and women are--and how terrible and inferior white people are, especially white men. This bullshit has been going on for awhile now, and it is disgusting.

It's a brand new story with brand new characters and nobody has had their race switched from anything to anything. So how is it anti-white to have the cast as it is? The only way to draw that conclusion is for you to be arguing it should be a more white cast, just because more white would in some way be "better".

And I am not insulting "Mexicans" I am insulting one guy from there. Unless you're Mexican? Because I sure am insulting you as well - just like you're insulting me. But it's only "psychological warfare" when I do it apparently. You whiney little drama queen bitch who can't take an insult without crying "psychological warfare!"

Didn't you say this to GeekyBugle on page 8? 8)

Quote from: MistwellYou might not be a white supremacist but you sure seem plenty racist. And don't even try and tell me Mexicans of Maya origin are not racist - I work with several, and you know I know there are plenty of racists in your part of the world. Often even more blatant than in America.

You already admitted that the term "racist" or "racism" is an insult, Misty. ;) You said this:

Quote from: MistwellAnd yes, calling someone a racist IS INTENDED AS AN INSULT.

So...yes, you insulted Mexicans. Do you really think insults will inspire people to go see a D&D movie? Boy, you really should work for Hasbro! :D And by the way, you deliberately ignored all the discussion of covert, weaponized CRT propaganda that Hasbro is engaging in....just like I knew you would. 8)

But at least now I know that there's no need for me to take you seriously any more. The thread is yours. 8)

I said PLENTY, not "ALL" or even "MOST". Add Weasel to the insults I am accurately describing you as.

And I note you didn't even attempt to address the topics I raised. Because there is nothing you have - you're arguing the movie needs more white people because more white people would in some way be "better" and that's it. That's your entire argument. That more white people, purely because they're white, is what would make it better casting.

Hey Misty, please provide the EXACT quote where I say: "the movie is bad because it's not white enough for me" and then, after you fail at doing so, go fuck yourself you disingenuous lying twat.

It comes from my repeatedly asking you about your position, and you avoiding answering it, which leads one to the conclusion that what your statements look like are exactly what they are. I'd love to hear more from you on the actual topic though. Please do clarify. Do you think it's a flaw of this movie that it doesn't have more white people, or that it has too many black or Hispanic people in it?

So, you admit you're putting words in my mouth, to fabricating wholecloth something to make me fit into your box. And then you end with "When did you stopped beating your wife?".

Like I said, you're a lying disingenuous twat and you can go fuck yourself.

Greetings!

Of course white people are being marginalized. In film, music, in academia, business, everywhere, white people are discriminated against, and vilified.

Hell, we have an Editor at the NYT, Jong I think her name is--that wrote on her Twitter that white people are the problem in society, and that white people should be exterminated. Women everywhere should not breed with white men.

She kept her job, and was applauded and celebrated for her vicious hatred and racism.

So, yeah. I imagine the D&D movie will show all kinds of minorities and women as being "stunning and brave"--while white men especially are laughed at and depicted as incometent doofuses. Naturally, according to the Woke, if you are a minority, you are special, and uber, and beautiful, and if you are white, you are inferior.

I don't have high expectations for the D&D movie.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

You too on the "this isn't white enough for me" train?

So disappointed.

Greetings!

No, I'm not on any train. I am, however, disgusted with the constant shrieking throughout society about how great minorities and "POC", "BIPOC" and women are--and how terrible and inferior white people are, especially white men. This bullshit has been going on for awhile now, and it is disgusting. I've read all kinds of articles about business, colleges, music, movie and Hollywood, where white people, especially white men--are hated and mocked, while women, and "BIPOC" are praised to the fucking heavens, and endlessly and constantly celebrated as fucking beautiful, uber, and wonderful in every way.

It's flat out fucking racism.

So, while I'm not on any train, if white men are depicted as idiots in this D&D movie, it isn't surprising to me. I like normal, happy people, and normal, appropriate stories. I'm not a fan of racist fucking morons, or bullshit racist garbage that masquerades as "academic truth" or popular entertainment, of whatever kind, and in whatever medium or venue.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

Greetings hermano, well put!

I saw the trailer, let me tell you about it:

The only white (and lets be honest, he's straight) male on the good guy's side is an incompetent bufoon, constantly outshined by everybody and emasculated by the stunning and brave stronk independent wahmen who don't need no fish.

Yeah, it's also a hard pass from me. There was a time when I could overlook that because there were other stuff where it balanced out, now? They can get bent.

Oh fucking puh-lease.

You all sound like the most whinny bitch racists ever right now.

This is bog standard Hollywood diversity casting thats been a thing for at least 3 iterations of SJWs trying to twist it out of shape. Theres nothing wrong with the casting other than the castings diversity is so weak kneed they went with people that at a glance you can barely tell are minorities. And one whos a minority only when the SJWs allow them to be.

They went the safest route possible and cast the whitest looking minorities they could lay hands on. Or would take the job.

As for the barbarian gal. Oh give me a fucking break. Shes a bog standard snarky amazon type. Nothing new here to get your panties in a knot over.

But no no no. Its all oh woe is me! Dem evil whammens is scarededing me!

Fuck sake the lot of you are going to make perfect little next wave SJWs.

The more I look at the trailer the more it looks like an IDW comic. And that is not a good thing.

Yes, you're right, this Maya is a white supremacist...

Or, hear me out, that's what I saw and those are my sincere opinions that have nothing to do with the characters' race but with the writting.

Or you could keep on trying to give me white guilt.

You might not be a white supremacist but you sure seem plenty racist. And don't even try and tell me Mexicans of Maya origin are not racist - I work with several, and you know I know there are plenty of racists in your part of the world. Often even more blatant than in America.

Are you actually trying to "white guilt" Mexicans now?

No, I am calling a racist a racist. No white guilt involved. Are you trying to argue only white people can be racist?

Holy cow, you are! ;D And I'm sure your Mexican co-workers absolutely loooooove it when you try to "white guilt" them. What would be the conservative talking point? "Mexicans are the real racists?"

Good grief, there's so much "derp" in this thread! ;D

Misty, quick! Call blacks "racist" next! At the very least, call the Chinese "racist" for rejecting this D&D train wreck....since the potential Chinese market for a D&D movie is HUGE. But if the Chinese mostly refuse to watch movies with blacks or various forms of racial mystery meat in them, then you can just label them as "white-adjacent" anyway....and thus, safely denigrate them as "racist".

Right? 8)

You know what? Just start calling people "Nazis", Misty. We all know you want to. ::)

Look, chief....I'll lay this out for you again. You cannot effectively shame people or "white guilt" people into consuming a corporate product. It doesn't work. It especially doesn't work when that Hasbro whistleblower revealed that the mega-corporation that controls the Dungeons & Dragons IP (in this case, Hasbro) is covertly trying to "social engineer" (brainwash) millions of people via neo-Marxist propaganda through branding and messaging. That's what CRT is for. The whistleblower was suspended for revealing this. What a surprise. ::)

Misty, when you denigrate someone as a "racist", you're basically casting a spell. Not a D&D spell, but you're using weaponized language as a form of psychological warfare....in order to win arguments, and break people's spirit. It's a classic neo-Marxist SJW demoralization tactic, and it's not very nice. And even worse, you're doubling down on it, against those "filthy Mexican Nazi Mayan racists!" Misty, your "magic demoralization attack word" ("racist!!") is not working, and is making you look like an ethically disingenuous neo-Marxist asshole. My advice to you would be to stop doubling down.

Like I said before, the "derp" in this thread is nearly beyond belief. 8)

Are you trying to argue only white people can be racist? It's a simple question which, despite your pages of ranting, you have yet to answer.

Oh, my God.....you're still doing it. ::)

Please. Make. It. Stop.

Misty, stop virtue signaling. Stop demanding that people submit to your neo-Marxist purity tests. It's very obnoxious. At this point, I think you know that the movie is just a giant exercise in neo-Marxist propaganda. I already discussed Hasbro covertly using CRT to "socially engineer" millions of people, and that's what this movie is for. That's the entire purpose of the creation of this D&D movie (aside from money laundering). I know you know this. So what did you do?

You tried to "white guilt" Mexicans about their "racism". And then you doubled down, like a pit bull in heat....and you still won't stop. Doubling down? Hell, you're even tripling down. ::)

And no, it's NOT a simple question. When you keep autistically repeating this:

Quote from: MistwellAre you trying to argue only white people can be racist?

That "question" you "asked" is not really a question, and we both know it. Just because you put a question mark at the end of your sentence doesn't mean that you're actually asking a question. You're being deliberately ethically disingenuous by using a slur ("racist!!"), under the guise of a question. You think I'm unaware of what you're really doing? I know exactly what you're doing, Misty, and I would suggest that you stop doing it.

When you call someone "racist", you are a using a SLUR, and you know it. You're intentionally using a term of denigration. You are using a demoralization tactic. In other words, you're engaging in psychological warfare. This is like a "socially acceptable" way of calling someone the "n-word" (while just "asking a simple question!" ::) ), and the only reason why it's "socially acceptable", is because westerners have been subject to intense neo-Marxist psychological warfare every single day for years. This psychological warfare is sometimes called "social justice", but I think the term is meant to be ironic.

And again, the weaponized use of the word, "racist", is like casting a spell, or using a curse against your opponent......for the purpose of crushing your target's morale. What you're doing is REPEATING THE MAGIC WORD OVER AND OVER AGAIN, so you can feign having the moral high ground......which we both know that you do not truly have. 8)

So yes, Misty, I did answer your so-called "question", but you just didn't like the answer. ;)

You're still distracting and ducking and strawmanning and doing everything you can to avoid answering the question. And yes, it is in fact a simple question. Do you think non-white people can be racist? It's a yes or no answer. I don't think anyone else here would have trouble answering that question including the guy we're talking about. I think we all agree of course non-white people can be racist. All except you, who is avoiding answering it like it's some trick. I guess because you feel guilty or something? Or maybe you're just an idiot.

And yes, calling someone a racist IS INTENDED AS AN INSULT. I have no idea why you think you're making some great point by mentioning that? I am saying he is a racist, and I absolutely mean that as an insult. Because being a racist, which he is, is not a good thing. And I am calling him that not-good-thing with intent. Not because it's false, but because it's true. And he should feel insulted by it. And maybe, yah know, stop being such a fucking racist?

And no, insulting someone by accurately calling them a racist is not "psychological warfare" you idiotic drama queen. Welcome to TheRPGSite. In case you were not aware, insulting people around here is not "psychological warfare," it is rather a day of the week ending in the letters "ay." And our insults tend to be best when they're accurate - like mine was and is. Much like calling you an idiot. Which you are.

I am signaling nothing by calling a racist a racist. It's the same signal I'd be sending if I called an idiot like you an idiot. There is no guilt, white or otherwise, involved in my calling that racist a racist. Just as there is no guilt involved in my calling you an idiot for being an idiot.

So yes, him arguing the movie is bad because it's not white enough for him is a racist statement. It doesn't matter what the color of his skin is, or his geographic or social or ethnic or religious background. It's still a racist thing to say regardless of those factors. And if you still think he can't be a racist because he's non-white, then you might be even more an idiot that you're coming across as in this thread. But I doubt you think that - I think you know damn well a non-white person can be a racist, and that he is a racist, and you'd rather not directly discuss those topics.

Also, this movie is likely to make a boatload of money, and that is the #1, #2 and #3 reasons for them making this movie. Your nonsense conspiracy theory that it's for Marxist propaganda and money laundering is just more evidence you're a fucking idiot.

You're still doing it. ;D

You didn't ask a question, Misty. You engaged in a line of attack, under the guise of a question. You launched an insult, under the guise of a question. You used a blatant neo-Marxist demoralization tactic, UNDER THE GUISE OF A QUESTION. ::)

You're not really here to discuss tabletop RPGs, are you, Misty? You don't seem interested in discussing D&D or the D&D movie. You only seem to care about pushing your precious "narrative". That's a shame.

But thank you for letting the mask slip a little, and for admitting that denigrating someone as a 'racist' is intended to be an INSULT. Well, if you insult a group or a person over and over and over and over again, then that's a demoralization tactic, Misty. That's psychological warfare.

I know you know this. We both know it. Why pretend otherwise? 8)

And by the way, you deliberately ignored what I said about Hasbro suspending that whistleblower for revealing their covert attempts at pushing CRT ("Critical Race Theory") propaganda through branding and messaging on children. I had a feeling you'd ignore it. ::) The whistleblower was black (which makes this funnier), and there are millions of people who resent being the targets of "social engineering", which is another term for BRAINWASHING. Well, why would a giant mega-corporation HIDE the fact that they're using propaganda against their customers, unless they were doing something evil? And yes, covertly pushing CRT propaganda to demoralize whites into believing they're all a bunch of filthy racists....is EVIL.

Again, Hasbro is the same company that utilized Chinese slave labor, the same company that manufactured and sold a pedo doll, the same company that had a bunch of PEDOPHILES in positions of influence and power in their Magic the Gathering Tournaments. And now Hasbro pushes weaponized CRT propaganda in their movie. Their precious little D&D movie is a delivery device for weaponized propaganda against the "racists". And who's a "racist"? A "racist" is anyone who rejects the "Narrative". You know what the so-called "Narrative" is, Misty, don'tcha? Of course you do, since you've been pushing it non-stop in this thread. ::)

If the movie fails, and people reject their precious anti-white "anti-racism" propaganda, then you can comfortably denigrate entire groups of people as "racist" for refusing to consume a corporate product. Of course, it might not "fail", since making money is NOT the primary goal of Hollywood ("Pedowood") any more. And besides, the men who control the banks control Pedowood, so they can just bail it out with a nearly endless amount of fiat currency. Or they can just do "ghost screenings" like they did for the "Captain Marvel" movie. Right? 8)

But that's ok, Misty. Keep insulting Mexicans as "racist" for refusing to watch the D&D movie. I'm sure that insulting Mexicans will make them want to watch the D&D movie so very much. But if that doesn't work, maybe you can insult blacks, whites, and Chinese as "racist"....and they'll be so ashamed of their "racism", that they'll rush out in droves to watch the movie.....as a form of penance. What a marketing strategy, right? ;D

What the actual fuck do you think is "anti-white" about this movie? It's not based on existing known characters whose race they're changing. It's a brand new story with brand new characters and nobody has had their race switched from anything to anything. So how is it anti-white to have the cast as it is? The only way to draw that conclusion is for you to be arguing it should be a more white cast, just because more white would in some way be "better".

And I am not insulting "Mexicans" I am insulting one guy from there. Unless you're Mexican? Because I sure am insulting you as well - just like you're insulting me. But it's only "psychological warfare" when I do it apparently. You whiney little drama queen bitch who can't take an insult without crying "psychological warfare!"

See you did it again. You make what appears on its face to be a blatantly racist statement. You then claim that's not true, and when given the opportunity to clarify you just call me names and run away again like a coward who doesn't have the backbone to defend his views.

Yes, you're a fucking racist based on what you said. If you disagree, explain your position. We both know you won't though - because your position is "it's bad there are not more white people in this movie" which is blatantly racist. And if you disagree - then WHAT IS YOUR POSITION?

The only white (and lets be honest, he's straight) male on the good guy's side is an incompetent bufoon, constantly outshined by everybody and emasculated by the stunning and brave stronk independent wahmen who don't need no fish.

That's the entire purpose of the creation of this D&D movie (aside from money laundering). I know you know this. So what did you do?

You tried to "white guilt" Mexicans about their "racism". And then you doubled down, like a pit bull in heat....and you still won't stop. Doubling down? Hell, you're even tripling down. ::)

And no, it's NOT a simple question. When you keep autistically repeating this:

Quote from: MistwellAre you trying to argue only white people can be racist?

That "question" you "asked" is not really a question, and we both know it. Just because you put a question mark at the end of your sentence doesn't mean that you're actually asking a question. You're being deliberately ethically disingenuous by using a slur ("racist!!"), under the guise of a question. You think I'm unaware of what you're really doing? I know exactly what you're doing, Misty, and I would suggest that you stop doing it.

When you call someone "racist", you are a using a SLUR, and you know it. You're intentionally using a term of denigration. You are using a demoralization tactic. In other words, you're engaging in psychological warfare. This is like a "socially acceptable" way of calling someone the "n-word" (while just "asking a simple question!" ::) ), and the only reason why it's "socially acceptable", is because westerners have been subject to intense neo-Marxist psychological warfare every single day for years. This psychological warfare is sometimes called "social justice", but I think the term is meant to be ironic.

And again, the weaponized use of the word, "racist", is like casting a spell, or using a curse against your opponent......for the purpose of crushing your target's morale. What you're doing is REPEATING THE MAGIC WORD OVER AND OVER AGAIN, so you can feign having the moral high ground......which we both know that you do not truly have. 8)

So yes, Misty, I did answer your so-called "question", but you just didn't like the answer. ;)

You're still distracting and ducking and strawmanning and doing everything you can to avoid answering the question. And yes, it is in fact a simple question. Do you think non-white people can be racist? It's a yes or no answer. I don't think anyone else here would have trouble answering that question including the guy we're talking about. I think we all agree of course non-white people can be racist. All except you, who is avoiding answering it like it's some trick. I guess because you feel guilty or something? Or maybe you're just an idiot.

And yes, calling someone a racist IS INTENDED AS AN INSULT. I have no idea why you think you're making some great point by mentioning that? I am saying he is a racist, and I absolutely mean that as an insult. Because being a racist, which he is, is not a good thing. And I am calling him that not-good-thing with intent. Not because it's false, but because it's true. And he should feel insulted by it. And maybe, yah know, stop being such a fucking racist?

And no, insulting someone by accurately calling them a racist is not "psychological warfare" you idiotic drama queen. Welcome to TheRPGSite. In case you were not aware, insulting people around here is not "psychological warfare," it is rather a day of the week ending in the letters "ay." And our insults tend to be best when they're accurate - like mine was and is. Much like calling you an idiot. Which you are.

I am signaling nothing by calling a racist a racist. It's the same signal I'd be sending if I called an idiot like you an idiot. There is no guilt, white or otherwise, involved in my calling that racist a racist. Just as there is no guilt involved in my calling you an idiot for being an idiot.

So yes, him arguing the movie is bad because it's not white enough for him is a racist statement. It doesn't matter what the color of his skin is, or his geographic or social or ethnic or religious background. It's still a racist thing to say regardless of those factors. And if you still think he can't be a racist because he's non-white, then you might be even more an idiot that you're coming across as in this thread. But I doubt you think that - I think you know damn well a non-white person can be a racist, and that he is a racist, and you'd rather not directly discuss those topics.

Also, this movie is likely to make a boatload of money, and that is the #1, #2 and #3 reasons for them making this movie. Your nonsense conspiracy theory that it's for Marxist propaganda and money laundering is just more evidence you're a fucking idiot.

You're still doing it. ;D

You didn't ask a question, Misty. You engaged in a line of attack, under the guise of a question. You launched an insult, under the guise of a question. You used a blatant neo-Marxist demoralization tactic, UNDER THE GUISE OF A QUESTION. ::)

You're not really here to discuss tabletop RPGs, are you, Misty? You don't seem interested in discussing D&D or the D&D movie. You only seem to care about pushing your precious "narrative". That's a shame.

But thank you for letting the mask slip a little, and for admitting that denigrating someone as a 'racist' is intended to be an INSULT. Well, if you insult a group or a person over and over and over and over again, then that's a demoralization tactic, Misty. That's psychological warfare.

I know you know this. We both know it. Why pretend otherwise? 8)

And by the way, you deliberately ignored what I said about Hasbro suspending that whistleblower for revealing their covert attempts at pushing CRT ("Critical Race Theory") propaganda through branding and messaging on children. I had a feeling you'd ignore it. ::) The whistleblower was black (which makes this funnier), and there are millions of people who resent being the targets of "social engineering", which is another term for BRAINWASHING. Well, why would a giant mega-corporation HIDE the fact that they're using propaganda against their customers, unless they were doing something evil? And yes, covertly pushing CRT propaganda to demoralize whites into believing they're all a bunch of filthy racists....is EVIL.

Again, Hasbro is the same company that utilized Chinese slave labor, the same company that manufactured and sold a pedo doll, the same company that had a bunch of PEDOPHILES in positions of influence and power in their Magic the Gathering Tournaments. And now Hasbro pushes weaponized CRT propaganda in their movie. Their precious little D&D movie is a delivery device for weaponized propaganda against the "racists". And who's a "racist"? A "racist" is anyone who rejects the "Narrative". You know what the so-called "Narrative" is, Misty, don'tcha? Of course you do, since you've been pushing it non-stop in this thread. ::)

If the movie fails, and people reject their precious anti-white "anti-racism" propaganda, then you can comfortably denigrate entire groups of people as "racist" for refusing to consume a corporate product. Of course, it might not "fail", since making money is NOT the primary goal of Hollywood ("Pedowood") any more. And besides, the men who control the banks control Pedowood, so they can just bail it out with a nearly endless amount of fiat currency. Or they can just do "ghost screenings" like they did for the "Captain Marvel" movie. Right? 8)

But that's ok, Misty. Keep insulting Mexicans as "racist" for refusing to watch the D&D movie. I'm sure that insulting Mexicans will make them want to watch the D&D movie so very much. But if that doesn't work, maybe you can insult blacks, whites, and Chinese as "racist"....and they'll be so ashamed of their "racism", that they'll rush out in droves to watch the movie.....as a form of penance. What a marketing strategy, right? ;D

What the actual fuck do you think is "anti-white" about this movie? It's not based on existing known characters whose race they're changing. It's a brand new story with brand new characters and nobody has had their race switched from anything to anything. So how is it anti-white to have the cast as it is? The only way to draw that conclusion is for you to be arguing it should be a more white cast, just because more white would in some way be "better".

And I am not insulting "Mexicans" I am insulting one guy from there. Unless you're Mexican? Because I sure am insulting you as well - just like you're insulting me. But it's only "psychological warfare" when I do it apparently. You whiney little drama queen bitch who can't take an insult without crying "psychological warfare!"

Didn't you say this to GeekyBugle on page 8? 8)

Quote from: MistwellYou might not be a white supremacist but you sure seem plenty racist. And don't even try and tell me Mexicans of Maya origin are not racist - I work with several, and you know I know there are plenty of racists in your part of the world. Often even more blatant than in America.

You already admitted that the term "racist" or "racism" is an insult, Misty. ;) You said this:

Quote from: MistwellAnd yes, calling someone a racist IS INTENDED AS AN INSULT.

So...yes, you insulted Mexicans. Do you really think insults will inspire people to go see a D&D movie? Boy, you really should work for Hasbro! :D And by the way, you deliberately ignored all the discussion of covert, weaponized CRT propaganda that Hasbro is engaging in....just like I knew you would. 8)

But at least now I know that there's no need for me to take you seriously any more. The thread is yours. 8)

I said PLENTY, not "ALL" or even "MOST". Add Weasel to the insults I am accurately describing you as.

And I note you didn't even attempt to address the topics I raised. Because there is nothing you have - you're arguing the movie needs more white people because more white people would in some way be "better" and that's it. That's your entire argument. That more white people, purely because they're white, is what would make it better casting.

Hey Misty, please provide the EXACT quote where I say: "the movie is bad because it's not white enough for me" and then, after you fail at doing so, go fuck yourself you disingenuous lying twat.

It comes from my repeatedly asking you about your position, and you avoiding answering it, which leads one to the conclusion that what your statements look like are exactly what they are. I'd love to hear more from you on the actual topic though. Please do clarify. Do you think it's a flaw of this movie that it doesn't have more white people, or that it has too many black or Hispanic people in it?

So, you admit you're putting words in my mouth, to fabricating wholecloth something to make me fit into your box. And then you end with "When did you stopped beating your wife?".

Like I said, you're a lying disingenuous twat and you can go fuck yourself.

See you did it again. You make what appears on its face to be a blatantly racist statement. You then claim that's not true, and when given the opportunity to clarify you just call me names and run away again like a coward who doesn't have the backbone to defend his views.

Yes, you're a fucking racist based on what you said. If you disagree, explain your position. We both know you won't though - because your position is "it's bad there are not more white people in this movie" which is blatantly racist. And if you disagree - then WHAT IS YOUR POSITION?

An objective problem that this movie is causing is the increasing of carpal tunnel cases.
