Breaking Blathering 6

[DroppinSuga]

Marath was pretty decent. The new Jund Commander is another place to look.

[DroppinSuga]

To me, Commander is about having fun and doing wacky stuff.

[rezombad]

Is it time for a new blather thread? Or is it open until the dragon thingy is over?

This.

[DroppinSuga]

Scumbag specifically said to keep this one open so I figure it'll stay until he's ready to start the new one.

[imopen2]

Yea. I think he's leaving it open for dragon submissions...I was going to do one but I haven't had time =/

I need a job

[Yannaria]

dibs on starting a blather thread some time

[rezombad]

I need a job

Go steal an iron and ironing board from wal-mart.
go steal a dress shirt, tie, belt, shoes and slacks from the mall. Your shirt should be light, but not white, and solid or at least not super busy. Your tie should be darker than your shirt. You should probably wear black slacks, get some that fit. Your belt and your shoes should both be leather and should match, your options are black and brown, get a dress shoe and not a brogue or wing tip.
Then get a haircut.

Then go home, shower, shave, trim your fingernails. Don your outfit. People will be throwing jobs at you.

Conan O'Brien recently came under fire for posting a tweet about Marvel's new Muslim superhero. Many Twitter users found his attempt at a joke "racist" and offensive, and the backlash was so extreme that O'Brien deleted the tweet.

Before it was deleted, the tweet read: "Marvel Comics is introducing a new Muslim Female superhero. She has so many more special powers than her husband's other wives."

Will the same people boycotting Kimmel also get angry over Conan's comments?

[Second Harkius]

nothing's offensive until it targets your group

---

then it's rage worthy.

[Second Harkius]

GENOCIDE NOT FUNNY!!!

[Thrillho]

what was the original comment because making a racist joke about muslim people having more than one wife is a lot fucking different than a racist joke about genocide.

also who is this new muslim female marvel character? there are already like 5-6 iirc though at least 3 are mutants.

[rezombad]

Genocide sometimes funny

[DroppinSuga]

Kijin can be spotted in the background.

[Thrillho]

i can get why there'd be backlash against conan for that comment since muslim americans catch a lot of flack and racist spite what with that whole 9/11 thing that happened 12 years ago but that we still act like happened last week despite an international cavalcade of ethnicities attempting terrorist attacks against us since then.

i can also understand why a bunch of some kind of asian people would be mad someone made a genocide joke about children because genocide and crimes against children are both things that people tend to look down on in the modern world but idk clock king seems to be a supporter of genocide and crimes against children so maybe not.

How bad will the Guardians of the Galaxy movie be ?

As long as Bendis doesn't write it, it'll be OK.

Kill all the white guys! lolroflmao

i mean literally people wage one-man wars against people online if they disagree about magic cards on the internet so when people make actually offensive comments that are actual problems and are racist in addition, which is another issue when you have a global culture, i can understand people are justifiably upset.

[( G_R )]

Hmm, not as funny as I expected.

[Thrillho]

it's really funny to see white people lose their shit when you post this online.

i guess i should spend more time being upset about frivolous things that don't actually matter than be upset about institutional problems that make all but white, heterosexual males disenfranchised on a political, social, and financial arena.

[DroppinSuga]

I've got no problem with people being upset and offended by these statements, but I also feel that nowadays people are very sensitive and are also looking for the next thing to crusade against.


Case in point: Kony 2012. That video came online and thousands of kids were all of a sudden activists. They completely forgot that Africa has had child soldiers for years and years, but no slick movie about it.

[Thrillho]

i am mad that people play with red cards in magic the gathering the card game. people should not be allowed to pretend to be all-powerful reality-crossing wizards who manipulate red magic in their spare time because red magic is stupid and not smart like blue magic and all powerful reality-crossing wizards who manipulate blue magic.

I don't think you understand what the problem with the Kony video was because it's not anything you just said.

[DroppinSuga]

Well it was also about the charity involved being shady as shit.

[Thrillho]

The Kony video upset a lot of people because the organization behind it spends a disproportionately unhealthy sum of its nonprofit earnings on advertising, chachkies, travel expenses, and -- what a lot of the kids you are saying are assholes (and you're actually right for this last part) assumed -- lining the organization founders' pockets instead of putting more of that money towards actually helping the people afflicted by Joseph Kony's child soldier hit squad and kidnapping ring, not realizing that the same is true of most well known and successful organizations and that in this particular case it just happened that two white guys don't really understand the social and political fine points involved in "bringing Kony to justice" or whatever they were trying to do.

However, you're also right that it didn't help that most of these people weren't going to give their money to the people affected by Kony in the
first place and they were using one bad organization's poor management as justification for why they weren't helping out something they probably are not equipped to help out in the first place.
