(You might want to correct the title.)

So what would everyone like to see happen in the new Trek series?

I’m just going to drop this here, and invite my fellow Fallout fans to theory craft if they want to (I’m not a trekkie, and I’m super hyped for this, so I’m sorry Katz. ; u ; ) :

And I’ve already done a bit, but allow me to cliffnotes:

– THEY INCLUDED BOTH THE MALE AND FEMALE PROTAG IN THE LAUNCH TRAILER. THIS WAS ALL I WANTED FROM THIS. THE REST IS JUST ICING. (I was miffed recently that all the Fallout 4 promo stuff only featured the Generic White Chisled Male Protag.)
– The Institute were robot-slaving assholes in Fallout 3, are they still robot-slaving assholes?
– WTF is The Commonwealth doing with all this Synth stuff? Why are they hunting Synths? Why is there a Battlestar Galactica feeling going on here?
– Are Synths just upgraded Replicants?
– Is The Railroad still a thing?
– Why was that ghoul wearing American Revolution era clothes and can I go interact with them?

Disney to retire all ‘Slave Leia’ merchandise:

There will be whining. So much whining.

A discussion about this on Metafilter led to someone sharing this story:

“…a friend of mine was working at San Diego Comic-Con one year and was browsing through booths on her break. She realized the booth she was at had a large (presumably [hopefully] one of a kind) Slave Leia statue on a rotating pedestal, and that none other than Carrie Fischer herself was standing there eyeing it skeptically. As it rotates around, both she and my friend realize that the statue is, shall we say, unexpectedly anatomically detailed. Fischer rounds on the cringing booth owner and furiously proclaims, “I don’t recall licensing you to SCULPT MY SNATCH!”

Should I post the bizarre “Reddit cuck discovers /pol/” video here?

Um….. what?!

(And can anyone make out the first thing the girl says? It sounds like “amaro baccho” or something.)

OK so I found the above video on Roosh V forum, which I got sucked deep down into yesterday via a link from the comments section here. One thing led to another and I found all these weird “cuck” and “/pol/” theme videos on youtube. I don’t know what “/pol/” means but there’s one really weird video, title /pol/ Was Right Again, I just saw which claims a show on the Nickelodeon Network (which the video calls “NiCUCKlodeon” LOL) named “Bella and the Bulldogs” was created by a writer by the name of Jonathan Butler who previously created a porn film titled “The Cuckold” . The video claims the kids show is full of themes from the porn film, lifted directly from there. The video is really bizarre and the song to it is basically an ode to Hitler!

Anyway, what is it with this term “cuck” becoming so popular ? Isn’t it an old 19th century British term? And the way these guys go on about you’d think they have a cuckold fetish themselves.

I’m watching the Bulls/Thunder game, and Jayzus this commentary is awful.

VooT, I don’t want to sound presumptuous, but I think you should stay off the internet for a little while (a day or two, the rest of today, whatever). Whatever that shit is, it can’t be good for one to try and spend any lengthy period of time interpreting it (see what I’ve written elsewhere around here the last day or so, and think on it: namely, at some point one has to write off all that kind of language as un-interpretable , small-minded, bigoted horseshit).

Right? LOL. I’m curious what the girl said though. It sounds like a slang from my country. I know the PUAs appropriated “chode”.

Are there any gymnastics fans here? I never get to geek out about it with anyone!

The women’s British team took the bronze in the Worlds just recently. Their first medal. Congratulations to them!

Kohei Uchimura continued his streak of winning every all around competition he’s entered. The last time he lost as the 2008 Olympics. By lost, I mean he got the silver.

He’s amazing!

So is Simone Biles who just won her third straight World all around.comment image

I’m also really excited that Maggie Nichols, who is from my state did so well. In the team competition, she’s the only one who did all four events and she kicked ass, impressing Marta Karolyi and greatly improving her chances of making the Olympic team!

Go Maggie!

Plus, I have a new gymnastics crush.

I just want the new Star Trek to want women fans. To not have embarrassingly obvious male-oriented fanservice that actively subverts the show’s canon as previously presented. In short, I don’t want the pilot episode of Enterprise, ever again. Please.

@Virtually Out of Touch

/pol/ is basically a Neonazi hangout, where Wehraboos suck Nazi cock all day long. Check out 8chan’s /pol/ if you want to see a /pol/ in its worst incarnation.

“Cuck” is the newest Chanism that has made its way into the mainstream.

Personally, I think the people who use the word ‘cuck’ unironically should be launched directly into the Sun.

@Virtually: David actually wrote an article about the Bella and the Bulldogs thing if you want to read it.

And /pol/ is a 4Chan board called “Politically Incorrect” where bigots go to be bigots.

Very happy with Trudeau’s choice of cabinet appointees here in Canada.

Absolutely loving Loading Ready Run’s new radio parody “Qwerpline”.

Looking forward to Fallout 4, hoping the lead doesn’t have to be straight.

Had anyone seen the author of “The Game” call out the toxic misogyny of the PUA movement today? http://www.dailydot.com/lifestyle/neil-strauss-interview/

Wednesday of next week is the beginning of the new Might Thor run with Jane Foster as Thor. Her identity isn’t a secret anymore (from us), and it will continue the story! Not only should it be a really really good read, but buying it will also piss off misogynist douches pretending to be “long time fans.” So it’s a win win!

I’m really excited, but it sucks to be on comic book forums during the previews or reviews, because of the loud loud annoying people.

@Virtually — Much older than 19th century — you’ll find plenty of cuckold jokes in Shakespeare and Marlowe. (Though they didn’t pick up on the 16th century cuckold trope, the cuckold having horns, which is a bit odd, considering the photoshop potential there.)

@Paradoxical Intention

Ahhh Yeah. Sadly i cant get a copy until christmas (aint got no next gen console) but Fallout 4 is something that I am incredibly hyped for. Fallout 2 and 3 remain one of my favorite games of all time. I remember seeing a friend play Fallout 3 when I was in maybe 4-5 grade and though it would be years until I played the game it gripped my mind completely.

Ahhhh Paradoxical, ok. I’m late to all that. Just found out what 4Chan (and 8Chan and AllChan) is. These weird themes and memes sure do make their rounds. I’ve noticed lately that in the comments section of youtube videos that have nothing to do with the Manosphere a #MGTOW will randomly show up. Like, a lot. So “cuck” “cultural marxism” and “MGTOW” are trying to get their buzzwords out there.

Here’s the video I saw. The lyrics are seriously anti-semitic but I can’t tell if its for real or satire. And the song sounds professional. Do you know who the singer is? Is 4Chan/pol/ considered the Manosphere? Seems there’s a lot of overlapping, a 7 degrees of separation type thing.

Also here is a video of Davis Aurini reviewing a lecture by Roosh. In the begin he recounts and interprets a dream he had. I literally was in tears with how funny and cringy this is. Carl Jung is rolling in his grave.

Also possible TW for anything in this video I havent listened to it past the dream interpretation.

Nevermind about Thor! Spoke too soon. They apparently pushed it back a week. It seems everything I love is getting delayed! At least it wasn’t 6+ months like No Man’s Sky! *kicks dirt** So you should all get it on the 18th!

Though they didn’t pick up on the 16th century cuckold trope, the cuckold having horns, which is a bit odd, considering the photoshop potential there.

I don’t know about the US, but in Brazil (maybe Latin America in general?), having horns is still sinonimous to being cheated on.
This lead to a funny conversation when I was just learning English. A guy I was getting to know said “I’m horny”, to what I answered “Hahaha, that sucks. I’m sorry you got cheated on.”. There was also the time the guy said “my abdomen is all ripped” and I was like “OMG, why? Is it hurting?” and a guy said “I have a six pack” “pack….. Of what, exactly? Coke?”

Does anyone know what does horns have to do with cheating, though?
