It's impossible to discuss anything on KF these days.

Well to start, lately I've been binging this show on youtube called "Nick Knacks" which talks about Nickelodeon... including the early stuff. For me, the most nostalgic era for Nickelodeon was when they used to play stuff like Inspector Gadget, David the Gnome, and Maya the Bee... before they started making original shows and became "the fart joke network."

It's a good series but you have to forgive that the guy is woke, though he tries to keep the sperging to a minimum.... he supports woke stuff and will point out when an old show has racist stereotypes but still feels like he has an honest appreciation of this stuff.

..... On that note, you say I "defend wokeness" a lot. It's more like I don't see it as the only (or even the biggest) problem.

The biggest problem is it feels like there's no point to anything. This would probably still be the case even if we somehow quashed all wokeness, because a lot of the problems are factors of time, money, and technology. At most, getting rid of the Woke people would mean you don't have to deal with their particular autism, but I'm of the mind it would just be replaced with a different particular autism.

:'(:'(:'( WAAAAAAAAA PEOPLE DON’T CARE ABOUT MY THREADS SO NOW I’M GONNA PICK A FIGHT WAAAAAAAAA

There’s no teacher here to force the other kids to play with you, sped. Be worth interacting with or deal with being ignored.

I do love how this strawman is suddenly popping up.

My threads routinely last at least 3-5 pages, but sure, "nobody talks to me," that's totally the problem I'm having. That's also totally what I brought up in the OP, right?

I think you may need to read about things outside of disposable commercial entertainment. I would suggest a very broad understanding of history.
I mean, I've already got that. What makes you think I haven't?

I understand feeling nostalgic for what you watched as a child, but I can't imagine something as insufferable as some pretentious faggot recapping your childhood shows and pointing out how problematic they are. Seems like you'd be better off just rewatching the shows themselves and ditching this Nick Knack homo.

I worry I might have misrepresented the guy a little.

It's not episode recaps, he does deep-dives into the history, why a show aired on Nickelodeon, what the channel was like at the time, how it might have influenced future decisions (he'll also bring up when a show has a reboot or a spiritual successor, many of these I did not know about) etc.

And the mentioning of "problematic" content? He keeps that to a minimum, so being bothered by it is about the equivalent of being bothered by those "playing video games may cause epilepsy" warnings that instruction manuals used to have.

.........

.... The funny thing about Nick in this era is what while I certainly watched it, it was not the center of my world, and a lot of these shows I was more "aware of," like Clarissa Explains It All.

That said, the shows I do strongly remember watching, I have sought out when I can. Are You Afraid of the Dark? is genuinely better than most horror fiction for adults--its almost like having less restrictions means they can be more boring.

(Nick Knacks has not covered Are You Afraid of the Dark at the moment... his episodes are trying to cover Nick year-by-year, meaning it will take awhile to get to the high points).

I have zero tolerance for woke shit so that guy is intolerable to me already lol

Wokeism is an evil, dangerous cult and its vile propaganda is both detrimental to society and ruins art. Even if I agreed with their Satanic nonsense I'd hate what they've done to media. You bring up good points but they're secondary by far, and nothing that replaces it could be any worse.
 
I love how the overcorrection of anti-wokeness in response to wokeness has become a sort of form of wokeness in itself.

Fucking hell... I said wokeness too many times in a damn sentence. Time to self-lobotomize.
Is there something wrong with masculine heroes and feminine supporting roles? What about humor that isn't afraid to call out shitty behavior of minorities?

"The Nobel Savage" is an example of a woke trope that predates the modern craziness. It's cute and romantic when the savage is the norm, but when every savage is a misunderstood victim of colonization then it gets really fucking tiring.
 
Nobody says this.
Its not about what people say, its about what happens.

As shown earlier, even a topic called "Fantasy fiction is a psyop" somehow wound up with people sperging about how blacks are naturally inferior (the first two pages had absolutely nothing to do with race).

Are you just an alt account for SSJ_Ness?

Nobody is saying there's anything wrong with masculine heroes or anything wrong with that. But @opaquepaper is right--its possible to go way too far the other direction.

That's one thing I was poking fun at here, showing that if we equally applied a lot of modern standards to media from the past, we'd be calling that stuff woke too.

I didn't like the SJWs but the anti-woke crowd has basically the same autism, just in a different direction--completely ignoring all context and instead focusing on minor signifiers and saying one scraped knee invalidates an entire thing.

Just saying.... Salem happened because of "good people" who thought they were fighting "the Devil."
 
And thank God, there's virtually no other forum of note where you don't get banned for saying you don't like the tranny flag being in games.
There is The Donald and Kotaku in Action but I agree, echo chambers are lame and gay. KF is unique because you can say it, someone can disagree with you and neither of you get banned for it (but the guy who likes tranny flags will likely get a lot of hats and dumpsters).

Are those subreddits? I can't imagine they have the same level of free speech we do here. But yeah, disagreement on virtually any topic here is allowed, which is nice, it was truly a breath of fresh air when I first joined. The Internet in general has eased up a bit since then, hopefully that trend continues.

No, they made their own reddit clones, patriots.win (used to be thedonald.win but someone snatched their domain) and kotakuinaction.win (the later is pretty dead). It's not really free speech as they allow only limited range of opinions but nobody will ban you for complaining about trannies.
 
>multiple progressive leftist trannies try to destroy the site, and the mainstream media supports this
>"man... the constant shitting on wokeness is so tiring...
why do you guys talk about it so much?"

Gee, i wonder. Just remember that normal people aren't the ones who had a grand vision of society reconstructed that they tried to force on literally everyone else at gunpoint.

So there's something I've never talked about before because it sounds insane even by my standards and leans a bit into solipsism, but six pages into a topic nobody is reading is the perfect place to bury it...

I sometimes feel like the modern world is a direct result/answer to thoughts or ideas I had when I was younger and dumber. (Okay, to be slightly less insane, a lot of these were already widespread wants and desires before I came along).

Just for example, early internet told a lot of stories about how a good show was cancelled because of money-grubbers not seeing a profit, and so I would think "Why can't these companies ever think about things besides money? Why can't they see higher?"

I mean this was a big narrative--it still is--with people usually being youngsters who were mad their favorite show was cancelled or a manga was forced to go in a certain direction because of editors.

And sometimes I think the Devil said "Oh, you want them to have high ideals, do you? Okay! Mwa ha ha ha..."

The result? This modern landscape where pretty much every company has decided its not about profit, its about pushing the agenda.

Now I feel that in the opposite direction too. I want a world more like the past... and suddenly there's a rise of people who are taking it too far and wanting to go back to the 1950s.

It's like... sometimes I have a "better the Devil you know versus the Devil you don't" mindset about this. The corporate 80s-90s world that was all about money, had its problems but it was at least a Devil I understood. It got replaced with Wokeness. And I'm honestly afraid Wokeness will be replaced with something just as bad, if not worse.

And I've kinda indicated what some of my fears are before--put simply: anti-wokeness can often feel the exact same way wokeness does. The big problem with wokes is they don't have any concept of nuance or context. Thanos chokes a woman? That's sexist--nevermind that he's the villain.

But in some discussions--including ones I've had with you--it feels like the anti-woke side is exactly the same way.

The ultimate litmus for any new rule or system IMO is, find something from the past you liked, then try hard--really hard--to find some modern rule it offends. Don't give it a pass--because the zealots won't. That's why in this thread I pointed out that He-Man could easily be read as Darkie Supremacy--because I know if modern anti-woke attitudes had been around in the 1980s, that's exactly how people like you would have read it.

...........

BTW massive swig of whatever you drink for the fact that the topic that began bitching about how everything is about Wokeness, is now about Wokeness.

They're both subsites of scored.co, which I find is fairly active. Consumeproduct openly calls out kikes.

The agenda is layered. There's what we see, pushing trannies and other bullshit everywhere, then there is the goal: demoralization, mongrelization, depopulation.

They already have ALL of the money. All of it. If anyone doesn't want to do their bidding, they bribe them, bribe someone to attack their character, bribe someone to blackmail them, or bribe someone to kill them, sometimes they'll even do the killing on television like Waco, TX. The Federal Reserve, in combination with the Petro Dollar, gives them unlimited purchasing power. They don't need more money. They need to consolidate power.

The "opposite agenda" is what? Beauty, family, prosperity. This isn't even an agenda, it's just a celebration of natural wonder.

Stonetoss made a good point, Halflife 2 predates the huge blitz on wokeness, but featured a black doctor and a blasian waifu.
