i think one of the problems with this whole situation is that the reason why he WAS banned and the reason(s) why he SHOULD be banned aren't the same. if we look at WHY he was banned in a vacuum, it's childish and the ban should come off. it's a power struggle between a mod and a member and the...

There's a lot of nonsense on both sides of the fence here, and while I don't personally agree with bully tactics and behavior, there have always been cliques on the forum and you just assume some poor behavior from certain people. That being said, while pretty deplorable, those things arent...

There is no "doxxing with permission." if gshurik was cool with his info getting out, he would have posted that info himself. A lot of people need to check their role in this nonsense, but the vast majority of the fault is on UT.

It's absolute nonsense that anyone would look at it being gshuriks fault or that UT is fine because he was "given permission." Thats some serious victim blaming BS.

the problem with Ut is that there is SO MUCH MATERIAL to pull from in this debate that you have be a little forgiving if people forget some things.

there is a world of difference between "hey, i'm not really sure, could people fill me in?" and "i don't know all the details but i'm making this my hill to die on."

his behavior isn't "criminal" it's just "criminally stupid"

hitler meant well, too. the "he meant well" argument is a straw man. who cares what he MEANT, we care what he DID

to be fair, human nature tends to ignore problematic behavior when it assuages the majority's thoughts. take ravenn for example. i'm blanking on who it was, but a couple members doxxed her and we all laughed because she's a terrible human being.

it just occurred to me... i bet the reason why you can't change your vote in this is because everyone who votes yes is getting banned too. mods are pruning the forum!!

I appreciate everyone's opinions for what they are and I hope that this issue is handled with thought and foresight. But can we just step back a sec and understand that basically everyone who wants him back, wants him back for the lulz. Not because he himself is funny, but because they they...

Attempted and threatening doxxing should be treated as actual doxxing. That absolutely does not belong here and needs to be taken care of swiftly and permanently. We are talking 1 strike and perma-ban. You do that and there is no way I will ever trust you again to protect the anonymity of the board

She calls it an uruk-hai scimitar because that's what the people at Weta called when they created it. The idea, I think, is that the uruk-hai aren't really into sleek curves like the elves, but since they CAME from elves they still use similar types of weapons, but instead of curves, it's jagged...

here's the thing about movies like this. they are terrible... but they keep my kids quiet for an hour and a half, so it's a winner in my book.

Clint Howard to the rescue

Dolores O'Riordan: Cranberries singer dies at age 46 - CNN hm. hope someone salts and burns her body so she doesn't come back as a... ahem... zombie. too soon? too soon...

Pop culture has replaced historical fact for me. I read Jim crow as Sam Crow

Wat? I'm going to make that joke infinitely better... A black man goes to heaven and meets God. God says, welcome, here's your wings! Black man says, do they come with watermelons?

this is one of those absolutely silly franchises that gets made NOT because it makes money hand over fist, but because the people in it are clearly having a fun time making it. i'm okay with that. it is what it is, it knows what it is.

Uh. Yes, x-men has always been inspired by the gay community experiencing persecution. The morlocks represented ostricization due to sexual orientation

Yeah, I wonder how copyright stuff works with that. It's clearly black widow, though female Russian sexy super spy isn't exactly a new or unique idea

this was one of those movies where if seven samurai was never made and no other film that was inspired by kurasawa was created, it would be a really good movie. but because kurasawa is SOOOOOOOOO ingrained in modern movie making, it just ends up being unspectacularly average. which is sad...

michael biehn circa the 90's was awesome. now? not so much.

Better

Yeah the voice over exposition is a tired cliche, but certain stories almost require an explanation of the world we as an audience are entering

I think that's the entire plot of the world. Humans WANT them to be void of emotion, but at some point they evolved to have them. The voight-kampff test is basically gibberish. It just creates a system where replicants learn to hide emotion or they die

It was disappointing. Especially compared to what it was supposed to be

There's a really interesting article about last action hero and how terrible it was, I think because of the producers. Wasn't Shane blacks fault at all

replicants don't lack empathy. sociopaths do. and it seemed like the chick that looks like lexi belle (lol) was a popular enough program that everyone knew what she was just based on the ringtone. so it's safe to assume that they had been spying on EVERYONE, probably scanning the populace for...

i'm kind of at a loss for how i think the world at large should have been handled. i mean, the setting basically demanded some kind of voiceover that explained... SOMETHING in the first 3 minutes. but on the other hand, i really appreciate just being dropped into a small story in a big world.

it gets much better. the first season and i think most of the second season were branded for kids. the clone wars movie (that started the show) is mostly unwatchable. it's terrible. but at some point fairly early on they started developing the show for an older audience.

yeah, and the dlc's added different versions of the dubstep gun. so the how the saints saved christmas added a christmas music dubstep gun. it's awesome

armed and dangerous had the greatest weapons in the history of gaming. the land shark gun and the topsy turvy bomb. if you haven't played it, the land shark gun would literally have a great white burst out of the ground and kill them, you could even see the shark fin chase them down. it was...

VR games like this feel perfect for user created content or even procedurally generated. the devs just need to come up with enough stock set pieces. you wouldn't even necessarily need to come up with any voice work once the base is all in, since the "voice work" would come from the other...

as far as a NEW trilogy story should have gone, i like elements of the current one but they are overshadowed by just... boring re-hash. i really like the idea that luke brought the existence of practical force users down to 1 and so the force itself started supercharging people across the...

Guys, North and South America are surrounded by water and are therefore one big island

"in order for my opinion to have any relevance, it must include outrageous hyperbole" TLJ was such a terrible film that it retroactively made the phantom menace high art.

oh you

did people really have a problem with shirtless kylo? what's the reasoning behind this being a problem?
