This world fucking sucks.

How do I reroll?

Me imagining how much wealth we could have generated if we embraced nuclear power fifty years ago and made energy practically free, but that never happened because of a bunch of stupid people who get their opinions from Hollywood.

The most privileged demographic in America thinks it's oppressed and in danger.

It wants more

It's never enough

@YorchTorchGames *Sigh*.

Who cares Yorch?

This one will sell, and then the co-opting will begin.

This is the new cycle of gaming.

Hmm... so gas prices are high because we're FINALLY doing something about an asshole terrorist nation that we should've dealt with fifty years ago instead of kicking the can down the road-like all prior administrations-for our kids to deal with once Iran's got nukes...

So obviously the solution to these temporarily high gas prices are to vote for the Ban Oil, ACAB/Defund the Police, Trans the Kids, Make Crime Legal, Lindsey is Innocent Because Mercury Was in Retrograde, Ban the Guns, Tax You To Death, Make Sidney Sweeny Wear a Burqa, Suck The Fun Out Of Everything, Mask Mandated Lesbian Bar, Let Your Whole Town Burn Down, Import All The Illegals Possible, Party.

And none of this is to say that republicans are good. No. Most of them suck. But at least they aren't belligerent meddling assholes who want to destroy me and everything I love. If the republicans weren't such bum ass bums we wouldn't be having this discussion before mid terms, but I'll take corrupt bums over totalitarian control freak rainbow communism any day.

America can't have nice things because too many of us are dumb.

Women that stick by you because they want a family and we'll be loyal no matter what or a dying breed. Today's women are there for a good time only. They will not stand by you during hardship or sickness.

This is actually a good thing. There's less pressure than ever before for men to stick with one woman or to stick by her when she starts acting up. The key is not signing the marriage contract. It gives you the freedom to move and leave should the situation become untenable.

Women are not the only ones who should benefit from the new standard of behavior. Men can benefit if they just get their heads out of their backsides and stop pining away for the days of your. Those days are never coming back. The cats out of the bag.

Reap the benefits of gentlemen!

CNN: “This is an undocumented immigrant...”

Stephen Miller: “They were here ILLEGALLY?”

CNN: “I want this to be a good-faith discussion...”

Miller: “When you use language designed to obscure the truth, that’s NOT good faith. An ILLEGAL ALIEN is an ILLEGAL ALIEN. They’re not ‘undocumented immigrants’.”

CNN: “Stephen, we’re trying to humanize the debate...”

Miller: “Humanize? Then let’s humanize the Penal Code too. The bank robber becomes a ‘specialist in unscheduled withdrawals’. The con artist turns into an ‘entrepreneur of alternative financial narratives’. The guy who breaks into your house uninvited is just a ‘visitor with pending documentation’. How about that?”

CNN: “That’s a crude analogy.”

Miller: “Crude is pretending federal law vanishes because CNN’s copy desk cooked up a cuddlier euphemism. ‘Undocumented’ sounds like someone who forgot their wallet in an Uber. No. It’s someone who crossed the border without authorization, stayed, and now the press treats the legal statute like it’s a matter of writing style.”

CNN: “But many contribute to the economy...”

Miller: “Ah, the classic argument: crime stops being crime if the person washes dishes or builds roofs. By the same token, the cigarette smuggler ‘contributes’ too, creates jobs in transport. Want us to call him an ‘informal logistics entrepreneur’? Would CNN go for that?”

CNN: “You’re polarizing.”

Miller: “No. I’m rejecting the marketing dictionary. You change the word, then accuse anyone who uses the legal term of being ‘inhumane’. It’s the oldest trick in the book: first soften the vocabulary, then declare moral victory. The United States is tired of this theater. Call it what it is. Or admit the goal was never clarity—it was narrative control.”

A man could lose his job, find out his wife has been cheating on him, is leaving with his kids because he has cancer and if he got frustrated and slapped her around, there is not a single woman in America would defend or make excuses for him.

But if a woman gets the baby blues and strangles her children to death as they struggle and fight her, women everywhere start talking about how bad postpartum depression is.

Mark my words, you are creating the most misogynistic generation of men to ever live and you need to know it is all your fault.

[Possum Reviews @ReviewsPossum]

Am I missing any?

• Postmodern "deconstruction" of a genre that thinks it's more clever than it really is.
• Everything is ironic because they're afraid attempts at sincerity will be seen as cheesy.
• Bathos (when something serious happens but the drama is immediately undercut by a joke).
• Fucked up moral lessons such as portraying selfishness as good.
• Aversion to heteronormative romance.
• Unlikable "strong female character" who talks down to everyone.
• Fetishism masquerading as progressivism.
• Villain is a thinly veiled stand-in for the writer's dad.
• If it's a sequel, prequel, adaptation, or remake, then it's written less like a story set in that universe, and more like a metacommentary about the franchise where creative decisions are based not on what's natural or logical, but on audience expectations or the subversion thereof.
• Protagonist was always perfect the way they are and they just had to learn to unleash themselves instead of improving or overcoming weaknesses.
• "This is a good character because they're really powerful."
• Conflating high stakes with high drama.
• Soapboxing.
• "It's sci-fi/fantasy, so it doesn't have to be consistent with its own internal logic or established rules!" ("space wizards" argument.)
• "Who cares whether or not it makes sense! What matters is how it makes you feel!" Because these things are mutually exclusive somehow.
• Female villain is only evil because of something a man did to her.
• "The man-eating, soul-stealing, vampire rapist spider people are just misunderstood. Humans are the real monsters."
• "Capitalism bad. Now here's a thing we included just so we could sell toys of it."
• Pop cultural references.
• "LOL drugs."
• "Isn't it funny that we're drawing attention to this trope we're doing? We're so much smarter than those other shows and movies that do the same thing because at least we're self-aware!"
• Ugly on purpose for no real purpose.
• Snarky and irreverent protagonist who quips and has a witty retort for anything said to them.
• Sexualizing women bad, sexualizing men good.
• Safe-edginess that's just casual bigotry toward acceptable targets such as straight men, French people, American southerners, etc.
• Old IP "reimagined" for the "modern audience".
• Protagonist is a shameless self-insert.
• "Humor" is "person I don't like dies."
• "Muh realistic anxiety attack!"
• Someone told them "write what you know" and what they know is coffee shops and porn.
• Cute, child-like thing is evil.
• "Traditionally heroic virtues are bad, actually."
• "I may be a cannibal who burns down orphanages, but at least I'm not a racist!"
• "Morality is subjective! Unless you disagree with my politics, in which case you're objectively evil!"
• Thinks they can make a scene "emotional" by simply showing a character crying when they haven't done anything to earn that emotional moment.
• Dialogue has a lot of "ums" and "yeeeahs".
• Memes in the place of jokes.
• "Creative" insults that are just swear words combined with other words, like "fuckstick", "shitballs", or "bitchmuffin".
• Adult characters talk like teenagers.
• Characters use internet slang in real life.
• All male characters are stupid, evil, or both.
• Baby talk combined with excessive profanity.
• Male protagonist gets pushed aside for a female character.
• All characters who oppose the protagonist (and therefore the writer's ideals since the protagonist is the writer) are strawmen because the writer cannot model other people's minds.
• "Why tell a timeless story that will resonate with future generations when I can make it about my pet political gripe of the week?"
• "How can I show that this character is unique and rebellious? I know! I'll give her blue hair and a side-shave!"
• Sexual preferences/gender identity is a character's entire personality.
• Stupid gotcha argument presented like it's profound wisdom and always goes unchallenged.
• "It's a made-up story, so we can do whatever we want with our adaptation! Who cares about the author's intent or the reasons they wrote it how they did?"
• Performative support for whatever happens to be the current political issue of the moment that no one will care about in five years.
