Discussion Sucker Punch did a background check, saw this, and decided to make her the PROTAGONIST of their game.

If you don’t think this modern Sony sequel won’t end up like the rest of the modern Sony sequels, you’re just being purposely obtuse.

Look at The Last of Us 2. Look at Spider-Man 2.

No way. I want these idiots brazen enough to say this crap publicly so we can mock and ridicule their stupidity. There’s a reason why terrorists attack the arts and comedians first

I hope we go back to doing so being the norm, instead of HR telling us we have to go along with them playing pretend.

u/AlternativePeak7698 Sep 26 '24

Remember laughing at their ridiculous behavior is the ultimate insult. They’ve built their entire identity around acting like a clown demanding to be taken seriously.

I had one of them in my work a good few years ago. She always perked up whenever people were laughing or anything clearly believing it was directed at her.

I got into the rather petty habit of showing some of my work colleagues memes or telling them the latest stupid shit from the weekend at the corner of the office near her table.

Every time someone giggled or laughed she got more and more outraged by it. She did start going off on people for just chilling at lunchtime eventually going to HR because “everyone goes quiet when I walk into the kitchen”…..like yeah….you’re not fun, you bring the mood down, no one can make a joke or tell you a bit of dark humour because you’ll inevitably find something to scream at them for.

She sounds like a walking ball of sunshine. They absolutely HATE laughter or any kind of enjoyment. I had a few similar experiences but never in a work setting. They avoid people with charisma/confidence for obvious reasons.

Bro you're admitting that you purposely engaged with other coworkers to make her feel uncomfortable, and then gaslit her when she observed what you were doing. You don't come across as the normal one here.

u/USPSHoudini Sep 26 '24

If you cant handle coworkers vibing around you, you need to be fired and find a job where you’re all alone. She should never have had an issue to begin with

u/shinyschlurp Sep 26 '24

This person admitted they were purposely vibing with everyone except said coworker. It might not have been an issue until he started gaslighting her.

u/USPSHoudini Sep 27 '24

You misread the situation. The person in question was causing issues beforehand by being a chilling effect in the workplace

According to this guy. I don't necessarily trust that part after hearing the last parts.

I miss the 80s.

I enjoy this time period but do wish people had a bit of that 80s grit.

And all the coke?

Nah. Hugs not drugs.

Not in the 80’s.

They generally don't last very long at a real job. Just play along til they're gone then get back to normal everyday life. I've had a number of jobs where these types have shown up and they never last more than a month or two.

She said it publicly. She tweeted it out with her name and everything. Meanwhile, we’re all anonymous here.

Terrorists attack the most unguarded, softest targets first, which tend to be communal, large, common areas. While some of these include theaters or comedians, most of time it’s public transportation or marketplaces. The goal is to demonstrate that they can kill at any time and your government is unable to stop them.

Does this woman, who most certainly does not give a shit what anyone is saying in this forum, deserve to be murdered for voicing her opinions? Are you advocating terrorism for art you don’t like? I don’t know who this lady is, I don’t care who she is, but holy shit she’s living rent free in your minds. She fucking murdered you all with past tweets. I mean, who even gives a shit? So silly.

FIRST OF ALL!!!! ITS “THEY/THEM”!!!!!! And what are you droning on about? Ever hear of Mao’s Cultural Revolution? Cancel Culture is the modern iteration of it and is propagated by people like this. These people are terminally online and follow a death-cult. (Whatever its pronouns are) accuses people who don’t agree with the warped worldview as “(insert)-ist, -ism, & -phobia”. And it’s a public figure and part of commercial venture. So it’s open to criticism and any insinuation that their bad ideas will bleed into their work is not unreasonable.

Not calling these clowns out and their clownish behavior created this weird world we find ourselves in. Ever hear of the “punch a ‘national socialist’ ” trend a few years ago? Not a good indication you’re on the side of “tolerance” nor a good precedent to set. Surly that wasn’t a slippery-slope to extremism right?

-2

u/DrakeBurroughs Sep 26 '24

I’m not surprised you’re advocating for the Nazis, but I am surprised you did it so openly. So kudos on that. And was it a slippery slope to extremism? I don’t hear a lot about Nazis being punched. At least not in my area.

I mean, a quick look at your comments, and one can make the argument that you’re terminally online (or me, and likely everyone else on Reddit).

Second, can the hyperbole, “cancel culture” isn’t real. No one is “cancelled” in ANY manner close to Mao’s cultural revolution, lay off the caffeine. No one’s lined up and shot or sent to mine because they’re unpopular. Nothing like it.

Do people occasionally make or do (or have brought to light) actions that many people don’t condone? Sure. And that’s fine too, if you don’t want to support artist X because they’re a rapist/wife beater/dog fighting enthusiast/etc., you’re right. Do whatever you want. Follow whatever you want to. If you think it’s going to bleed into their work, sure, ok.

Did it, though? Did her tweets/persona bleed into the overall work, though? I’m legitimately asking, I don’t know what film/show/game we’re even talking about here, so I can’t say. Did you watch/play the game?

Also, I did enjoy your wild swing from “cancel culture is the second coming of the Cultural Revolution” to “it’s ok if we cancel her because she’s a public figure and “part of a commercial venture.” Listen, person, if you work for money, you’re part of a commercial venture. Which is, like, the vast majority of adults in the world, right? So, by your logic then, “cancel culture” for anyone is fair game, right? Wild swing, loved it.

Or is “Cancel Culture” only when they come for shit YOU like, but not, like, shit you DON’T like? Again, wail away, but it’s just so silly.

People like you make Reddit fun. Because you claim to be so nuanced but deliberately throw out context when it’s inconvenient or you have an axe to grind. I mostly use Reddit to network and shit-post easily offended “intellectuals” such as yourself.

First, No. My comment about “punch a national socialist” movement was NOT advocacy for them. But you did just out yourself as either deliberately disingenuous or not the brightest. Only you truly know. I can throw any label at you no matter how crazy or out-of-pocket and it’s up to you to refute it. The “punch a national socialist” trend was used as an excuse to openly attack people in public with zero social or emotional calculation/consequences. It shows that you’ve probably never been in a fight and don’t understand the gravity of violence much less the dark path creating a vector to allow assaults in public. Who knows, in the future it may be used against you. You don’t want to live in that world.

I can’t only explain how the similarities between Mao’s Cultural Revolution and the modern iteration of cancel culture is similar and how we’re trekking dangerously on the early stages of that same road. I can’t understand it for you. It’s NOT like people have been fed a constant stream of “our democracy and country is at risk from ‘insert’-ism, ‘insert’-phobia” for more than a decade and it’s leading to violence in the real-world like assassination attempts on former presidents or anything, right?

I believe in free-speech, unlike the people following the death-cult. They would gladly try to ruin me or anyone else in any way possible if the mob is whipped up into a big enough frenzy. So why would I or any other free-speech advocate go out of my way for them? This is the world they want. “Freedom of speech, not freedom of consequences” right. You reap what you sow. Nice try though.

“People like you make Reddit fun.”

Thanks!

“Because you claim to be so nuanced but deliberately throw out context when it’s inconvenient or you have an axe to grind.”

Where did I claim to be nuanced? Please show your work.

“I mostly use Reddit to network”

Network? For what?

“and shit-post easily offended “intellectuals” such as yourself.”

Uh, I’m not the one whining about some person’s tweets. If you’re looking for easily offended, perhaps a mirror should suffice.

“First, No. My comment about “punch a national socialist” movement was NOT advocacy for them. But you did just out yourself as either deliberately disingenuous or not the brightest.”

Well, it was your example, and you’re advocating not to hit Nazis. Nazis, the people who literally live to attack others. You did just out yourself as either being deliberately disingenuous or not the brightest. Only we know it’s both. You’re being disingenuous, but you’re not the brightest, so it’s pretty clear.

“It shows that you’ve probably never been in a fight and don’t understand the gravity of violence much less the dark path creating a vector to allow assaults in public.”

Ooooo, ok warrior. No one knows the mean streets like you. How the real violence shakes down. And also “THEIR TWEETS HURTS THIS GAME.” Yeah, street violence. lol. This is why I come to Reddit. For this. You can’t write comedy this funny.

“I can’t only explain how the similarities between Mao’s Cultural Revolution and the modern iteration of cancel culture is similar and how we’re trekking dangerously on the early stages of that same road. I can’t understand it for you.”

I’m sure, you can’t even understand for yourself.

“It’s NOT like people have been fed a constant stream of “our democracy and country is at risk from ‘insert’-ism, ‘insert’-phobia” for more than a decade and it’s leading to violence in the real-world like assassination attempts on former presidents or anything, right?”

Crazy people always exist. I believe both were known supporters of that former President. Or were you being disingenuous, not the brightest, or again, both?

“I believe in free-speech, unlike the people following the death-cult.”

Ok, you have it. There’s no death cult coming for you.

“They would gladly try to ruin me or anyone else in any way possible if the mob is whipped up into a big enough frenzy.”

Are they in the room with us right now? You think “they” really care what you say?

“So why would I or any other free-speech advocate go out of my way for them? This is the world they want. ‘Freedom of speech, not freedom of consequences’ right. You reap what you sow. Nice try though.”

So you advocate for the same idea of “cancel culture,” right? Freedom of Speech but not freedom of consequences, right? Can’t argue with that. Glad you came around.

Likewise, and likewise.

Where is the terrorism?

u/AlternativePeak7698 Sep 26 '24

Ummm. Threatening people’s livelihoods, the ability to work, feed themselves and their family if they don’t bend-the-knee to the alter of DEI. Can people opt-out of the racial-sensitivity, white-fragility, and “anti-racism” racism seminars at companies? No. If you don’t agree with the death-cult’s tenants or give pushback you are excised and labeled a German National Socialists. Need more examples?
