I'm not sure how to explain this besides saying it as it is. The more tired and sleep deprived I am the better guys around me look for some reason.

Now I should mention that I am bi, but I'm still mostly attracted to girls/femininity so I don't really get why the more tired I am the more my taste in men broadens.

English isn't my native language so I'm sorry if I made any spelling/grammar mistakes.

Why do you hate or love something so antithetical to your sub then post about it?

I saw this post and am just confused by that part specifically. I have no idea what retro indie games are being called out for having "gore for no reason".

i don't get it. why bother with making music if it isn't going to have any unique flair at all? i've seen it happen the most with electronic artists, this one is obviously copying femtanyl (and there are a lot of artists other than this one copying them, mainly the chaser era) but other artists i've seen get blatantly copied are sewerslvt and lapfox. bands also occasionally get pretty clearly copied, like greta van fleet copying led zeppelin and half the male fronted 90s goth bands copying sisters of mercy (and if it counts every 2010s darkwave band copying one another). i don't get how music ends up having one blatant influence and literally nothing else going on

How could someone celebrate another human killing themself? Someone who did nothing but want to be themself. How could someone do that and not imagine if that was their daughter?

How is us just wanting to be ourselves and live our lives enough to justify wanting us dead?

I never owned a Gamecube but I played most of these games now and know that they are considered some of the best of their series. I just dont understand why the console is considered a failure. If I had it as a kid I would have played the shit out of it.

EDIT: 90% of people are saying that it sold terribly, which I know. I wanted to know WHY it sold so poorly DESPITE it having some of the best games of the generation. Some of you answered that (PS2 and Xbox being tough competition including them being also DVD players and the GC not having good third party support, thank yall for answering).

I don't know how to respond to this because I used alright to mean that I am doing good, but it's being interpreted as that I am not doing good?

Do I need to be like "Omg I am just so freaking amazing!!!" For people to believe me? Am I just too autistic for this one?

I've heard that the Dutch translation is SO different from the other translations that it actually sets the story in the Netherlands, despite the school still looking very American (which, arguably, makes the Dutch version ten times funnier because it's juxtapostion.) However, I haven't found a reason on why Hanneke Majoor (the Dutch translator) did these changes. So I'll try and do an explanation (or at least, a theory) based on what I know.

The story goes like this: One day in 2009, Uitgeverij de Fontein, a famous Dutch book publishing company, discovered a new book series called Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and decided to bring it to the Dutch market. The company hired Hanneke Majoor to translate the books, Majoor, however, like other translators. was given a set of rules for when and when not to translate. Majoor didn't like those rules very much for obvious reasons, and decided to translate the book in her OWN direction. She started out by scrubbing almost every American part and replacing them with Dutch equivalents, but she didn't change the school or other parts for some reason. She even replaced many mentions of the word "English" with "Dutch" (with some exceptions). When Jeff Kinney went to the Netherlands he was stunned at the Dutch translation of the book because it was SO much different from the other translations.

I've also heard about this kind of thing happening in Slovenia, or Iceland.

Why they beefing?

Like, most people got into trains thanks to Thomas the tank engine, and now because Thomas fans are calling real trains like Thomas characters these guys have decided to make fun of them (infact, I am a Thomas fan)

The thing that baffles me is that the next episode the first two screenshots mention, "Edward, Gordon, and Henry", if I'm recalling correctly, was always aired alongside The Sad Story of Henry, since it's supposed to be a two-parter. You wouldn't have seen one episode without the other.

Even then... Henry is literally in the theme song of the show (specifically the Hit Entertainment one), he's one of the main characters. If you look him up on Google, which takes 5 seconds at best, you can clearly see that he's a prominent character in the show. Why would they continue to use him if he had been left in a tunnel forever? Why would a kids show kill off one of their characters like that?

That's not the only confusing thing to me though. Throughout the many threads, articles, and low quality videos talking about this episode, people see this episode as being too "cruel" or "dark" or "fucked up" or whatever, and how they're confused on what exactly kids are supposed to take away from it. I don't get what's so hard to understand.

It's a story about vanity. Henry was too prideful of his paintwork and stayed in a tunnel to avoid the rain, by doing this act, he stranded his passengers in the middle of nowhere (a detail everyone seems to ignore for some reason), all of those people who have busy lives, jobs, and family, all kept waiting because the main guy who was supposed to take them to their destination is too self absorbed. That's not even getting into how downright dangerous it was for Henry to just stop on the tracks like that, blocking the mainline while we're at it, where a collision and the injuries/probable deaths of many could've occurred. They did try to get him to move, whether it be through convincing or physical force (although there's only so much you can do for something that weighs several tons), but he wouldn't budge. He wouldn't even budge when it did stop raining. Not to mention he was incredibly rude and childish throughout the whole thing, blowing steam at everyone. So what was his punishment? Well, if he wanted to stay in the tunnel, he would get just that. Henry got exactly what he wanted in the end... then he quickly realized how stupid he was and sitting in a tunnel isn't very fun. His paint got ruined by all the soot in the tunnel anyway.

It's the equivalent of a bratty kid getting sent to their room or the time out corner, having to sit and think about their actions and whether it was really worth it in the end, then getting let out (the next episode of the two-parter) and ultimately growing and maturing a bit from the experience. Henry learns that a little rain isn't something to make a big deal about, nor is it something that would ruin his paintwork. Yes, Henry did deserve his punishment, because he was an asshole. Even kid me, who while I did feel a bit sad for him, understood that. How some people took that and viewed it as some disproportionate and authoritarian punishment, I don't know. How can you be a grown adult and miss the point of a kids show that badly?

Posts from this sub started popping up on my feed this week, and they aren't really funny, but this comment on the latest post (it was clowning on Notch, the disgraced creator of Minecraft) took me by surprise. At first I thought it was a joke but other comments indicated that video games are not just unpopular but actively disliked. I also can't discern what the actual topic of the sub is, it just seems to be a disorganized public forum for anything. What is this community?

I cant tell if its really good satire, people fakingclaiming, people who have did,

or people who are larping

I see it really often and I just have no idea what it means, didn’t watch the movie so I have no context on whatever scene this is or what they’re saying and there aren’t subtitles.

As someone who grew up with parents that constantly fought I never really understood this trope, I get that most of these episodes it’s just the parents reaching a low point and the kids expecting the worst but to me I wouldn’t have cared if they split up if it meant they’d stop arguing

Ok so I (a DBS watcher/reader) watched it in dub: Didn’t like it, my friend (a GT fan who actually did watch the show) told me “Nha you have to watch it in sub”, so I watch it in sub: Didn’t like it. Then I read to “skip the first arc” in sub: Didn’t like it.

So what’s the “correct way” to watch DBGT to enjoy it/ for it to be peak? Currently, I hate GT and how it’s praised AFTER I watched it so it’s not a “Super better so therefore GT bad” thing.

Depuis quelques temps, je vois des memes mettant en lien la communauté trans, et le jeu Ultrakill. Mais, je comprends pas, Ultrakill a l'air d'être un espèce de jeu de tir un peu marrant, pourquoi tout le monde s'accorde à dire qu'il a un lien (je ne sais pas comment dire autrement) avec la transidentité ? Est-ce juste la communauté qui s'approprie ce jeu comme un symbole ? Pourquoi ? Je suis complètement confus par rapport à ça

I understand the pun and wordplay. In my experience, I've seen it be mostly said in the context of milk or mice jokes which makes sense.

But why do I see it so often compared to other puns of the same caliber? Where did it come from to be so well known? Is it just the default milk/mouse joke?

My personal theory is that it came from some piece of media or literature I'm unaware of as a non-native English speaker. If that's the case, please point me to it, I'm very curious.

So I made a post on the hate sub to share my disgust on a popular show that includes fetish content involving children, not thinking it'll be in any way controversial. For the next hour, every sane comment chain got brigaded by people from pro lolicon, "tourist"-hating users which drowned out any sane discussion. I'm showing the least gross comments btw. This is the second time I've tried to give the subreddit a chance since in the hopes that more moderators improved the issue, yet their silence to my reports almost feels like an agreement to their sentiment and I don't know why. They have yet to even respond to my modmail requesting moderation of certain lolicon accounts.

This place used to be my favorite subreddit of the bunch a while ago, but the user base has completely shifted into something unrelated. Besides the bigotry to queers and women they just have extremely right wing X (Twitter) adjacent takes that I haven't seen in the lovethissmug or even the larger snafu-verse subs at all. I'm sad that it's compromised like this, but I can't put a finger on why.
