Superman 64 Discussion Thread

[9 to 5]

The internet blows. A place where people can say all-sorts and never back up their actions with anything meaningful.

[Benji]

U WOT M8? I'LL CHIN YER' FOOKIN FACE OFF.

[Rich]

I will blow you*!

*Disclaimer, this may not happen

Regarding the new thread title, I'd like to point out that I never cared about this.

[Plubby]

You were going to come in and post this regardless of what was actually in it, weren't you @metalman?

 

In fact, you didn't even read this thread, did you?  

[METALMAN]

You know, perhaps I should get to grips with it. I mean, I know this thing is broadly about people who don't want to play games (I think). And obviously that's bad. But I get the feeling that it must be far more nuanced because the topic is so long. I just can't really be bothered reading the whole thing. :/

@Sousa We're still here discussing your favorite subject.

He started this one. It's his fault.

I never cared about it first.

Also I have literally no idea how you're supposed to read a Reddit post (thread? forum?). It just looks like a mess of words. I'm getting old.

[King Ellis]

I'm only in this thread because I thought it was the new name for the WWE Supercard thread.

[Colly]

Can we get this thread turnt back into the Ben Affleck discussion thread, because that was good.

[RPS]

The New Batman and Superman movie is going to suck ass.

So (not that any of you were) for people wondering, "where is this all going?", if you guessed "to the United Nations!", you'd be right, but you didn't guess that you liar so sit down.

Yes, the United Nations had a conference and put out a report  that tried to frame Youtube comments as a form of violence against women. The report recommends "(i)mplementing oversight and maintaining a responsible Internet infrastructure through technical solutions" as well as "(d)evelop(ing) and uphold(ing) laws, regulations and governance mechanisms to deter perpetrators from committing these acts".

So for people who said "no one is talking about censorship" in regards to earlier debates, we now officially have a branch of the UN advocating for censorship of the internet. That's the endgame, a government enforced, censored internet to make it one big safe space/hugbox.

So what GamerGate has accomplished is possible removal of YouTube comments? Suddenly this feels worth it.

[SeanDMan]

...potentially valid point.

So people won't be able to threaten rape upon people online any more?

Sounds super.

[Skummy]

Policing people's behaviour is not the same thing as censorship.

[TheWho87]

This is going to be fun to uphold, YouTube cant even get their comment section to work right in the first place, trying to moderate the comments will be laughable.

Possibly, but what about all of this
