From Beyond The Veil

As long as you have a y chromosome in your body they will never let you live in peace.

An God damn these nuts are a burning hot mess of garbage. People like this need to be confined before innocent people get.

Personally I think the sooner we start treating feminist like the bloodthirsty hate group terrorist they always were the safer everyone will be.

Also Progressives: “How dare men go for sex dolls?!? It proves they don’t respect women and just want to hate and abuse them! Ban sex dolls!”

Also, it used to be when they made a remake they at least had the decency to remake 40+ year old films; now they’re remaking things that came out just a few decades ago and adding practically nothing.

For the most part, I consider the frequent remakes and sequels/prequels to be abysmal. Not only do many of these movies outright copy parts of the original, but the studios make every attempt to establish cinematic universes with them a la the MCU. I’d say the recent movie, THE Predator, is a perfect example of this. That movie was awful; an insult to the original.

Actually, it’s 11.

And the number of white characters is 13. There are literally only 2 more white people than people of colour in the game.

12 human female characters. Tracer is skinny, like a runner, Brigitte is muscular, Moira is tall, slim, and androgynous. We don’t know Ana’s body type. Mei is curvy. Zarya is muscular.

Doing a basic character design exercise (like seriously this is one of the FIRST things you learn in this part of the industry) and looking at their silhouettes… Definitely at least half of the women clearly have only BARELY different body types. Even the similar body types among the men have a little bit more difference.

One of the first, most basic lessons anyone should be learning in character design is to avoid this. Yes, technically this does ignore several things about the designs, but my entire point was about body types to begin with, not clothing/equipment/color.

Pharah’s silhouette is speculation. 

> One of the first, most basic lessons anyone should be learning in character design is to avoid this

So I literally say you’re ignoring everything about their character designs but their bodies, and then you proceed to go out of your way to prove me right.

I think I’m done here.

Notice how vibrant-echoes attempts to disingenuously explain how Blizzard evidently does not know anything about good female character design by asserting that the silhouettes depicted above are representative of what we would see in-game. Mind you all, not only is this absurd and a deceitful misrepresentation, but it’s fuckin’ hilarious imagining the characters of Overwatch running around in that bizarre pose in-game.

FFS, you can look at the blackened silhouettes and clearly see there’s ‘diversity’ in the designs. Also, it’s funny that vibrant-echoes decides to use Winston’s Primal Rage victory pose for his silhouette since he conveniently grows bigger. Ya know, just gotta stretch out this bullshit argument as much as possible. Oh, can’t forget that D.Va is typically in her mech, which makes her as big as any other tank.

Even if you strip away all the other manners to differentiate the cast and rely solely on the basic shapes you will still be able to discern who’s who because they all have distinct standing poses. Additionally, these characters aren’t two-dimensional beings. You will not always see them from the front.

100 Women: The artist redrawing ‘sexist’ comic book covers

An artist in India is challenging sexist drawings of women in comic books by parodying them using male heroes in poses typically associated with women.

She-Hulk has superhuman strength and speed and is one of the most formidable hand-to-hand combatants in the Marvel world.

Like Hulk, not only does she have physical power, she’s also completely green.

Yet, on a 1991 comic book cover, she is shown in a seductive pose, wearing a G-string bikini, with her curves sharply accentuated.

Indian artist Shreya Arora was shocked when she saw the image.

“For Hulk, the visual representation focuses on his strength. For She-Hulk, all we see is an emphasis on sexuality,” says Arora, who grew up reading comic books.

Also, this is literally judging a book by its cover. Heck, you’re even ignoring the self-aware speech bubble. The book actually starts with She-Hulk on a beach, so the cover is actually appropriate to the contents. And can I just-

LOOK AT SPIDEY’S CROTCH. LOOK AT IT. LOOK AT IT.

Yes, clearly we needed a view of Tony’s skintight bodysuit.

August, 1991, Demi Moore appears on the cover of “Vanity Fair” magazine, nude and pregnant. It caused quite an outrage, but the controversy lead to increased sales.

In December of the same year, Marvel decided to riff on that idea, showing She-Hulk in the same pose, with a beach ball instead of a pregnant belly. She even says, “It’s not FAIR to accuse me of VANITY“, a not-so-subtle nod to the famous magazine cover.

If someone accused my S.O. (as an example) of assault “without evidence,” that still wouldn’t give him or me or anyone else a pass to automatically and immediately dismiss the accusations.

Let’s take an example of any other crime, just to remove the emotional nature of sexual assault out of the discussion for a moment.

Say the cops knocked on our door and said someone accused him of say, I dunno, robbing them.

Obviously I would be like “Um, I don’t think he’s out there robbing people…” BUT I also wouldn’t say “No, you must not investigate this accusation. Close the case immediately, because *I* know he would never rob someone and thus this is clearly someone lying in order to ruin his life!!”

Literally nothing you do is safe from the CIA. There are numerous full-on spyware suites developed by them, mostly for iOS and Windows, but also targeting Android, Linux, OS X, and Solaris. Apps thought to be secure (Telegram with encryption enabled, WhatsApp, Signal) were compromised as well, as were a host of other devices (ie smart TVs).

THIS DOES NOT PERTAIN ONLY TO AMERICANS.

If you live in a Shengen area country, your country likely hosts several CIA backed cyberwar experts. They came in via the US consulate in Frankfurt. If you don’t, you likely do as well, but I can’t find anything without sifting through the files myself.

“I have nothing to hide, why does this matter?”: Because there are now multiple thousand “zero hour”- ie “developers get zero hours to fix”- vulnerabilities floating around that no one had any idea existed. The vulnerabilities themselves weren’t leaked, but it’s the fact that someone knew about these and didn’t say.

It’s a wonder that anyone out there could believe they are not the subject of surveillance—everyone has something to hide.

And this leak shows that the CIA has all of these technologies and proliferates them to other entities who want this information all the time. You need your privacy to protect yourself and your information. If you have nothing to hide, you have plenty to hide:

The line “if you’ve got nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about” is used all too often in defending surveillance overreach. It’s been debunked countless times in the past, but with the line being trotted out frequently in response to the NSA revelations, it’s time for yet another debunking, and there are two good ones that were recently published. First up, we’ve got Moxie Marlinspike at Wired, who points out that, you’re wrong if you think you’ve got nothing to hide, because our criminal laws are so crazy, that anyone sifting through your data would likely be able to pin quite a few crimes on you if they just wanted to.

Julian Sanchez points out:

Some of the potentially sensitive facts those records expose becomes obvious after giving it some thought: Who has called a substance abuse counselor, a suicide hotline, a divorce lawyer or an abortion provider? What websites do you read daily? What porn turns you on? What religious and political groups are you a member of? Some are less obvious. Because your cellphone’s “routing information” typically includes information about the nearest cell tower, those records are also a kind of virtual map showing where you spend your time — and, when aggregated with others, who you like to spend it with.

We simply cannot possibly know when something is going to incriminate us and the State is not above scapegoating individuals or coercing them into submission. James Duane, a professor at Regent Law School and former defense attorney, notes:

Estimates of the current size of the body of federal criminal law vary. It has been reported that the Congressional Research Service cannot even count the current number of federal crimes. These laws are scattered in over 50 titles of the United States Code, encompassing roughly 27,000 pages. Worse yet, the statutory code sections often incorporate, by reference, the provisions and sanctions of administrative regulations promulgated by various regulatory agencies under congressional authorization. Estimates of how many such regulations exist are even less well settled, but the ABA thinks there are ”nearly 10,000.”

Supreme Court Justice Breyer elaborates:

The complexity of modern federal criminal law, codified in several thousand sections of the United States Code and the virtually infinite variety of factual circumstances that might trigger an investigation into a possible violation of the law, make it difficult for anyone to know, in advance, just when a particular set of statements might later appear (to a prosecutor) to be relevant to some such investigation.

This very post will be saved and cataloged.
