so. the thing about that hbomberguy vaguepost is that it's a prime example of this really bad rhetorical habit that hbomb's always had. he likes to cherry-pick the worst-sounding lines from whatever he's criticising and present them, out of context, in a mocking tone. the words of Patricia's that he used to discredit her were: "I can't think of a single good argument against lolicon."
sounds bad, right? yeah! it does! hbomb was banking on that gut reaction to those contextless words to make you agree with his point without giving it much thought, just like he does in his videos sometimes. (the example that sprung to mind is his critique of Peter Capaldi's regeneration episode in Doctor Who, when he brings up the dialogue "oh! it's not an evil plan!" as if it's evident of the episodes shortcomings when ACTUALLY he TOTALLY MISREPRESENTS THE EPI- I'm gonna stop, don't get me started on Doctor Who I won't be able to shut up.)
it's an effective rhetorical tactic for sure, because it hooks you with your gut reaction and discourages you from thinking any further. that's why he uses it! but when you take a step back and look at the full picture, you notice that this clever rhetorical tactic is actually just the skillful application of a very simple way of presenting information: lying, that is.
because what is the context of the words "I can't think of a single good argument against lolicon?"
well that's the first lie. there isn't any context for those words 'cause that's not what she said. in the thread hbomb's referring to, Patricia starts off by saying "ive been waiting to find or come up with a good argument against lolicon since i was like 19 and i havent really yet." and goes on to ponder why most common arguments against lolicon don't really hold, since most arguments are concerned about harm to actual children, notably different from drawings. (I should say here, the obvious argument against lolicon is "it's fucked up of someone to want and enjoy that," an argument that I would also levy against, say, someone making rape jokes. but that's neither here nor there.) having read through the thread, it's pretty tame? idk, I don't see anything there to get your knickers in a twist over. it's some fairly mild observations about an uncomfortable topic.
I think that the subject matter is what trips people up here, as well as who it's being discussed by. lolicon is already a very uncomfortable topic nobody really wants to talk about. adding on to that, transmisogyny primes people to see trans women as predatory, so the average sleeper's instincts go "taboo subject + trans woman = oh no!" and, if you don't stop to give it a little thought, that can be hard to get past. that's why this little rhetorcial trick of hbomb's has been so effective here! as I said, it hooks you on that "taboo subject + trans woman" gut reaction and diacourages you from thinking about it further. kind of like a thought-terminating cliché, except this time it's a culture-war-instigating cliché.
so, in conclusion? cis guy leverages transmisogyny to ignite a flame of harassment against a trans woman for Saying Something He Didn't Like, then goes quiet as the internet mob does what it does best, spurred on by his words. oh, but he deleted the post, so he's actually not at fault here, nevermind.
I don't believe hbomb meant for this to happen. we know that, when he's not making train-of-thought posts off the cuff, he's particular about stressing to his audience not to harass anyone he critiques. but his silence during the deluge of hate he's opened the floodgates for is chilling. is it really that hard to say "hey I fucked up, please don't harass this woman?"
I reckon an apology is warranted. some kind of public recognition that this is Not What Should Happen, at least. if hbomb doesn't do anything of the sort, it can only be due to cowardice.

we need to instill a new storytelling rule of thumb into people called "show don't tweet" where we encourage them to put all pertinent canon information into the actual story and its official supplemental material instead of using reddit AMAs as lore dlcs
Based on that “Barney is Susie’s dad” theory.
Religion in fantasy worlds: Everyone believes the exact same things about Green Nature Goddess and has official rituals for her that are the same everywhere
Religion irl: Technically it’s heresy for me to worship this skeleton but my spiritual advisor said that it’s legit so I’m gonna keep giving it offerings of yogurt
Religion in fantasy worlds: We’ve gotta pour water over this statue or else the god will get angry
Religion irl: We’ve gotta pour water over this statue? Why? Idk man that’s just what you do. Just do it alright.
Religion in fantasy worlds: These are the rules. The rules are law. Nobody can break the rules.
Religion irl: Okay you say that there are “rules” but how exactly are we defining “rules” here? Like is a suggestion a rule? How are we defining suggestion? No come back. Listen. Are we going by nuance in the original language or are translations fine or-
High control religions/cults recruiting in fantasy worlds: Join us! For we shall all eat the moon! This is a legitimate position to have!
High control religions/cults recruiting irl: We have free snacks. That shirt looks sooo cute on you btw. What, you heard that we wanna eat the moon? The media is always telling lies about us you know. We may have some unorthodox opinions about the moon but, tell you what. Come get some snacks, make some new friends, maybe chat about the moon a bit. See what you think. We’ve got pizza.
Religions in fantasy worlds: We must make a sacrifice to appease the gods! *draws up a sacrifice circle and completely destroys the sacrifice*
Religions irl: We must make a sacrifice to appease the gods! *has a communal barbecue*
ima do a quick art dump here (in no particular order) of some of my old pieces that im proud of!!! if u are interested in any of it give me a follow!! i regularly draw tons of fanart of stuff u probably enjoy....
tumblr is so in denial about how much it loves lolcow milking. it’s kind of hard for me to talk about this because 1.) it feels douchey to bring it up and 2.) i have some frayed nerve endings on the subject but like. i’ve had lolcow threads about me on kiwifarms. I read all of them. it’s all the same shit and often the same users (there are more queer leftists on kiwifarms then you can imagine). there is criticism, deserved and undeserved… and then there is lolcow milking.
i don’t think schadenfreude is an inherently evil emotion. i love a good crab rave. but i think experiencing schadenfreude is a kind of internal check engine light signifying that it’s time to pop the hood and reflect on why that’s the reaction your having. i know that sounds patronizing but schadenfreude is truly one of the most judgement-clouding emotions you can have and it’s just. well. the most ashamed i’ve ever been about my own words or actions has been when they’ve been driven by schadenfreude. i don’t even say that out of some kind of pretense of nobility but because it’s really obvious to other people when that’s what’s inspiring you, and it’s really, really unappealing.
I think that repeatedly failing to unpack your behavior and feel shame about it is what drives people to such extremes. each time you go through the cycle of doubling down on schadenfreude, the debt of shame gets bigger and eventually you just have no way back. the only way to make it all hurt less is by catching yourself as soon as possible.
otherwise, you're just going to be torturing people for your own satisfaction and justifying it to yourself forever.

I do not understand why people are gassing up the Star Fox 64 remake, like i genuinely do not understand why this is happening. You can play the game right now on NSO or if you put in like 0.5% effort, a fucking emulator. Are people seriously this rotted up with nostalgia to where they accept that a franchise that has laid dormant for over 10 years comes back with YET ANOTHER REMAKE OF THE SAME FUCKING GAME AGAIN BUT WITH HYPER REALISTIC GRAPHICS!!??
Like bro imagine if Sonic stayed dead after Sonic 06 and he came back with a hyper realistic 1 to 1 remake of Sonic 1 but with added cutscenes just cause.
"Oh but it'll get new audiences into Star Fox!"
JUST ADVERTISE STAR FOX 64 ON NSO! PUT THE FUCKING GAMECUBE GAMES ON THERE AND ADVERTISE THEM! AND THEN MAKE A NEW GAME!!!
"But it makes sense to do a remake because the franchise has been dormant and they should go back to basics."
Yeah because doing yet another remake of an old ass game is going to bring in new people who already don't give a fuck about Star Fox. USE YOUR HEADS!!!!!
WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK
Oh
It's another 64 remake
With weird-looking characters and more cutscenes
...yay?
