/cow/ - Lolcows

Who cares? This thread will end up with everybody talking about the history of typewriters. Bob is that of a boring guy.

>>203661

At first glance, he seems like a boring NEET, but the deeper you dig the more you realize how sordid and bizzare his story is.

He keeps enough of a mask of sanity to look normal to his fans, but he's got some serious shit going on upstairs.

Can we go a month without one of these shit threads?

Bob may have been funny at first but now he's just boring, threads are cocksless and I feel anons here just make them out of habit instead of waiting to make them when Bob actually does something funny/noteworthy. Discussion always devolves into something completely off-topic because nobody actually cares enough about Bob to stay on-topic, everything that needs to be said has been said, over and over.

I think we should have a moratorium until he loses his legs or something.

>>203666

Bob pls

>>203670

>Dismiss valid criticism as being from Bob

All righty then

I'll take a third route. Bob is boring and yeah, the threads do go off-topic about all the time, but that's why I like them. Fuck, I think we veered off into shit like Slayers or Ethnic Stereotype Gundams to why Sanic couldn't save SEGA. It's actually kind of refreshing compared to a lot of other threads.

>>203661

>>203666

Blob pls, you're not fooling anyone

Just for you we're gonna have two threads this month

>>203673

This board is full of kid who can't take criticism.

>>203700

Sigh.

Moviebob rapes children as young as 2

>>203652

>middle-aged asshole fanboys

Dohoho

>>203722

It must be hard for him to recognize irony when so much fat is smothering his eyes.

>>203712

Dank meme magic doesn't work on forced memes, anon

>>203734

Maymay magic is a forced meme on itself.

>>203712

Well they do say that victims of abuse often go on to become abusers.

>>203765

Is he even aware that the rest of the world doesn't want to be like Star Trek?

Your right, Japs don't want to give up Yamato Damashii to be a part of bob's world.

>>203765

If there was ever a chance for world unity through abandonment of culture, it would have been during the rise of Communism during the 20th century.

The countries that tried it were doused in so much blood and loss of life that they have yet to recover, nearly 60 years after in some cases, and the value of their currency is still in the toilet.

+1 for making blob look dumber than your typical amerifat anon, and via his geek obsessions no less.

>>203765

Stupid.

The last thing this world needs is a super State. It would be the same shitshow we have with national states but on steroids.

>>203771

I don't get why he hates Donald Trump, yet supports Hillary Clinton when they have the same positions.

>>203765

>Creating a tyrannical New World Order would eliminate all wars and conflicts and bring about world peace.

Oh yeah, I used to think like this too.

THEN I TURNED EIGHT.

>>203772

Because trump reminds him of the big mean conservatives that had the gall to not share his political opinions, and because hillary owns a vagina and that's all blobbo needs to know.

Fuck me, I remember when hitlery was just as against vidya as jack tompson was, and this dumb fat fuck would kiss her feet.

>>203774

I think part of the problem is that he has lived in the same place (Boston area) his whole life and going to a local community college. Simply moving from were I grew up to a different town for University which had many international students was more than enough to show me that a super state would be a terrible idea. There are simply too many cultural differences between different peoples for this to ever be possible. People argue that if the United States separated into different countries it would be better overall because it would ease tensions in politics. I kind of agree but the economics of each individual country would suffer.

>>203765

As someone who lives in a coastal blue state of NY, I call bull on this. People in bluestates are just as conservative as the ones on red states, they're just smarter at hiding their views. or don't care. All the "progressives" are just people who couldn't make it in the red state

>>203771

In Bob's case, his politics are reduced to "Conservatives=bad", "Democrats=good".

Without any nuance. He doesn't see Trumps' populism or Hillary's powermonger lust. He just see good vs evil.

>>203765

How will movie Bob Defend the EU collapsing because of liberal policies?

What I don't understand are the guys in love with Trump, and then go shitting on Latin American Populism, it's the same fucking thing Trump's proposes, Voting Trump is voting Peronism, and that's horrible.

>>203782

People like Trump because he's brutally honest about his feelings and is unfiltered. He's a breath of fresh air in the race, compared to the others.

>>203783

I see. I'm not saying the other two candidate are better, the three are horrible. But Populism is its own brand of shit. Look at Argentina, or Venezuela.

>>203765

>>203766

>Is he even aware that the rest of the world doesn't want to be like Star Trek?

Someone bring up deep space 9 exposing United federation of planets hypocrisy and openly challenging multiculturalism. By showing it doesn't work. And capitalism will always defect socialism. Bob probably go on a anti-DP9 rant.

Anyone trolled Bob about X-Files? There is a huge movement going on in the SJW press to denounce the revival and possibly get Chris Carter fired from his baby if Fox brings it back. Anyone wanting to try and bait the blob with jokes about how Scully took the red pill and is now an anti-vaxer who craves a faux Glenn Beck/Alex Jone's dick?

>>203802

What did Carter do this time to piss off the thought police this time?

Was it that bit in the lizard man episode where the edownymous monster calls bullshit on trannyism?

>>203807

Honest, Armond White does the film analysis better than everyone else.He even tears down Straight Outta Compton It looks like Bob here is trying to rewrite history just so that he can be right.

>>203765

>Post nationalism is inevitable

Bob is delusional and if he actually thinks that the results of a post-national world would be some kind of Star Trek-esque fantasy of social liberation and unity then he's double delusional.

It's pretty funny that Bob and people like him have COMPLETELY stopped pretending that classism was ever supposed to be a thing in Social Justice and are now just hardcore cucking for the upper-class.

>>203824

At best, the world economy would destablize and throw multiple countries into chaos if a Star Trek type system was ever implemented.

>>203825

In Star Trek a post-national society works because the world is also entirely post-scarcity, no one needs anything because anything can be produced at no cost, including food.

We don't fucking have matter replicators in the real world.

>>203826

3D printers are promising, but the potential for matter replication from them is 50 years down the road at the earliest and probably 100+ years to be realistic.

>>203828

You can't 3D print food, and good luck teaching someone like bob how to farm or ranch.

>>203807

>Modern Classics

>Blue is the Warmest Color and Straight Outta Compton

>Not Birdman, Whiplash, Her, Prisoners, Anomalisa, True Grit, Inside Llewyn Davis, Drive, or Avatar

Explain why this is?

>>203792

All it is is his blog shit in collected form isn't it? Not even worth a pirate.

>>203832

I remember reading a 3D printer that could print a hamburger, of course, the prime source was real meat from a pig. Although I also heard of "artificial meat". Could be interesting.

>>203849

>Geek-culture.

Never an analysis of the secret affinities between John Keats and William Blake. Or the theme of melancholy in The Rubbayat. Always this cringey "geek" crap with these Internet people.

>>203861

"Geek Culture" is the worst thing to ever happen to Geek culture

>>203849

>

In this insightful collection of essays from his many years as a film critic, gaming writer and pop-culture commentator, Bob Chipman examines the complex world of the modern nerd - the good, the bad and the embarrassing - including such pieces as MOVIEBOB'S RE-TALES, BAT-MITT VS. OBAMAVENGERS and THE FIFTY MOST BORING OPINIONS IN GEEK CULTURE; along with in-depth looks at Disney's surprisingly-topical "Maleficent," the philosophy of C.S. Lewis, Geek Privilege and more

> Geek Privilige

I am so tempted to take one for the team and spend four dollars on this shit for that one section alone because I can't even imagine how absolutely deluded and completely self-unaware that entire chapter must be.

>>203868

Bob considers himself an intellectual, his dream is some kind of Platonic ideal of a world governed by the merciful dictatorship of Philosopher Kings, those kings being himself and others who think just like him.

The man is a literal, dictionary-definition fascist. He's just stuck too far up his own ass to realize it.

>>203869

>C.S. Lewis.

I doubt Bob has passed from the first pages of Perelandra.

>>203870

Do people still believe in the Philosopher King?

>>203869

Geeks never had any privileges. Even when mainstream society finally accepted their comics, gadgets, and fashion, geeks are still shunned by society.

>>203810

They also did an episode where Muslims were the bad guy/refugees were terrorists all along, where Agent Scully started talking like an anti-vaxxer when he brought back up the plot point of the conspiracy using vaccines as a weapon against the masses, made the Cigarette Smoking man an eco-villain who justifies ending the world by way of evoking global warming, plus Tad O'Malley, a Glenn Beck type who makes Scully wet her pants with lust.

Oh and the overall "YOU CAN'T DO A CONSPIRACY SHOW WHILE DEMOCRATS ARE IN OFFICE!!!!" crap as well as saying that Mulder, for being into conspiracies, is too "problematic" for modern SJW society

>>203838

One is a film that promotes pro-lesbian pedophilia indoctrination and the other features black men spouting anti-police and anti-Jewish slurs. Both of which are things Social Justice Warriors believe.

>>203883

>No whispering conspiracies while democrats are in charge

I've never understood this particular branch on the sensitivity tree, especially considering that sjw's don't recognize political parties so much as they join cults of personality. Ask anyone of them how they feel about obama's failure to uphold the promises he made during both campaigns and time how long it takes for them to snap out of deer-mode.

As far as sand niggers being pre-disposed to carbomb, I can only imagine the shitstorm that would have happened if the episode refferenced the Colgone rapes or the current razing of europe.

>>203886

The episode in question had a nurse bitch about American tax payers paying to keep up refugees as far as them living on welfare and vague "conspiracies" about how immigration and multiculturalism was a global conspiracy to fuck with whitey.

Granted, it was played for laughs by Chris Carter in the episode, but just having someone speak it and not shout them down, caused SJW to freak out.

>>203887

This is why Orwell and whatever faggot wrote brave new world should be required reading on grades 5 and up. Enjoy vid related as a reminder that liberals don't always get their way no matter how loud they scream.

Getting back to the festering husk in the room, now that blob is more familiar with lulu and comfortable posting his unedited thoughts for the masses just how long will it be before he writes his eliot rogers-styled manifesto and goes on a attempted killing spree? He won't cause any permanent harm to anyone mind you, since only trump supporters will actually touch guns and nintendo doesn't make mario pattern katanas or baseball bats.

Actually now that I think about it, I expect him to vaporize himself in his father's garage at 2AM while trying to make his very own fire flower out of a propane tank.

>>203888

Aldous Huxley was the guy who wrote Brave New World. I seriously have to get back to reading that book, and 1984 sometime. It feels like I'm missing out on something.

Bob will never do an attempted killing spree. Liberals don't even know how guns work, plus Bob hasn't really demonstrated or mentioned having a skill in weapon wielding.

>>203888

> I expect him to vaporize himself in his father's garage at 2AM while trying to make his very own fire flower out of a propane tank

Hilarious as that is, I don't think he's even allowed in his parent's house. If there's one good thing about him shitting out books, it's that we might get more glimpses into his pathetic personal life a la his anecdote about missing his grandmother's dying moments to play SMB3 and watching Transformers while he was at the gym.

>>203882

> geeks are still shunned by society

Yes, this is true, the "real" geeks of today are still outcasts as much as they ever were. However, I am fascinated to see how deep Bob's lack of self awareness goes, because he lumps himself in the group of good looking 20 something year old hipsters who like Marvel movies and never touch comics when in reality he is about as painfully "real" geek as it gets. The only thing that separates Bob from some of the people on /v/ or /r9k/ is a severe lack of self awareness when it gets down to it.

>>203882

>Do people still believe in the Philosopher King?

>what is fascism, natsoc

whats your gripe with platonic thought exactly?

>>203893

> while he was at the gym.

doubt.apng

Bob on a killing spree? Come on guys, that would mean to get up and do something.

The whole "conspiracies are a right wing thing" is bollocks, one of the most prolific times for conspiracy and conspiracist was Bush II presidency. Also, everybody believes in some kind of conspiracy and considers the others crap.

>>203861

>was real meat from a pig

God I love this wordfilter.

>>203888

Sadly reading 1984 doesn't stop people from wanting to bring it back. Like Atlas Shrugged and to a lesser extent Brave New World, it just gives the trust fund elites and their poorfag footsoldiers all the wrong ideas while allowing the plots to filter their perception of ANYONE who says no to them

>>203900

Yeah, one would think people after all these years reading about dystopian futures, would smart up to the tricks and twists of totaltarians, but they remain clueless as always.

Making 1984 obligatory in schools was a stroke of ironic and malevolent genius.

>>203895

I have no grip with the Philosopher King. I never thought that the concept would be used in the 21st Century, or that Bob is smart enough to grasp it.

>>203928

unless he went to college and was required to read plato or something, i doubt he is aware of the name for his personal brand of tyranny, and is just coincidental.

>>203929

The only thing about platonic Bob knows is his relationship with women (at best).

>>203929

The thing is, plenty of people have made a well-argued case for the Philosopher King. NRx might turn a lot of people off, but the arguments have genuine weight and merit.

Either way though, Bob has no idea what he's talking about. Someone should challenge him to post a reading list and see what he has to offer.

>>203934

What's a Philosophy King?

>>203945

Read Plato's republic. Or listen to it, there's a good audiobook on YouTube at the moment.

>>203945

Basically, the ruler of a republic (but is called a king somehow) who makes the best decisions for society due to being enlightened by his own intelligence. I'm sure I'm missing something, though. Or a lot.

>>203828

Uhh ignoring the fact that converting one type of matter to another is otherwise known as a nuclear explosion.

Don't ever expect to see this tech in your lifetime, if ever.

>>203949

>I'm sure I'm missing something, though. Or a lot.

Yes, you do miss a lot indeed. For example how the Repuvlic is the first utopia or how Plato has unironically suggested a enforced mating strategy in which men and women don't bond and leave their children to the state.

>>203895

He mentioned it at some point that he did a "3000 calorie workout" (or some other ludicrously high estimate) at the gym while watching a boxset of the animated Transformers show. Somebody pointed out that in order for Bob to burn that many calories he likely would have had to spend basically an entire day at the gym just watching children's TV.

>>203960

I imagine he used some calorie burning calculator where you plug in your weight. Just walking a mile or two could probably burn a thousand calories if you're lugging around 1,000 pounds of fat around with you. It's why when you're morbidly obese you have to eat so much just to maintain your weight, since just walking around in your daily life is enough to burn off so much at that weight.

>>203951

Fission, fusion, or radioactive decay to be specific. None of which are applicable to every element. Fusion is hydrogen to helium, and fission/decay is only elements with more protons than lead. Not exactly ideal for producing goods that the average human can use.

>>203958

So, we become Tau?

>>203781

>How will leftards everywhere Defend the USSR collapsing because of socialist policies?

They didn't, they just ignored it and looked the other way, like sartre with stalin's executions

>>203786

BTW a friend of trump just won the argentine presidency

Not a populist tho, but a bizguy like him

>>203824

>It's pretty funny that Bob and people like him have COMPLETELY stopped pretending that classism was ever supposed to be a thing in Social Justice and are now just hardcore cucking for the upper-class.

>implying that wasn't the plan

Think about it, when did this SJW shit appear?

During OWS

OWS was at its very beginning a party neutral movement composed of people asking for more regulation of the financial industry

It was turned into a total shitshow and a joke by SJWs invading it and forcing bullshit like the progressive stack alongside a number of stupid crap that made OWS a freakshow to the rest of the world

100 years ago the upper-class hired pinkerton agents to beat the living fuck out of workers refusing to work for a fraction of a penny

Now they hire political manipulators to destroy these movements from the inside

In a way they took a page off the KGB which used to finance bullshit movements in latin america to interfere with democratic governments.

>>203958

> leave their children to the state

Isn't that what the spartans did?

>>203893

>missing his grandmother's dying moments to play SMB3

What the fug? seriously?

>>203892

>Bob will never do an attempted killing spree

Dunno, fatso was a pretty heavy edgetard with a perchance for patriotic bullshit when he was 'younger'

Given his proclivity to regression its possible that he will go back to his murrica fuck yeah phase and shoot up a school or something to get back at all those jocks playing sonic2

>>203985

im not sure if the spartans did that specifically, but it is important to note that a lot of what plato/socrates were doing is attempting to rationalize their defeat in the Peloponnesian war by looking at what the victor was doing differently from them.

>>203983

>Think about it, when did this SJW shit appear?

A long ass time ago. Look up the "science wars."

Then look up the Sokal Affair and compare it to the recent news about "Sandy Beaches."

History repeats itself.

>>203985

>Isn't that what the spartans did?

Sort of. The Spartans used slaves (or serfs, depending on your interpretation) for farming, so their children weren't needed in the fields. Because of this they were required to attend state-run military schools; even the children of the two royal families weren't exempt, although there was an exception for the designated heirs because the training was so intense. Respected Athenian generals sometimes sent their sons to these military schools as well.

>>203987

I recall all spartans going through a selection at birth, then at around 6 or 7 all males became wards of the state and trained in the military to become soldiers

>>203988

Did know about the whole sokal thing, didn't know about sandy beaches tho but after finding the blog it says it was published yesterday

Still what I meant is the current wave of SJW bullshit

>>203985

Yeah, seriously, it's in his book. The first chapter of his mario book is worth at least skimming because he divulges a lot about his life that is as sad as it is hilarious.

>>203983

> Think about it, when did this SJW shit appear?

> During OWS

I think you're right, but only partially. It had been circulating around academia for a long time, it just really kicked into overdrive and began to become more mainstream during OWS. As far as I remember, though, the shit just kind of sprouted up overnight. I think someone here put it best; people legitimately believe that we shifted from a different timeline where Bearenstain was Bearenstein because the social paradigm of America seemed to shift practically overnight around 2012/2013.

>>204005

It seemed gradual to me. I knew about the "progressive stack" shit that OWS was using near the end of its lifetime. I don't know what year that was.

Then around 2012 I found out about SJWs, and I kind of thought they were just an annoying subculture on tumblr. They've gotten worse but I think normies are starting to realize they're big-talking dumbasses, so I expect they'll fade out over the next few years.

My understanding is that a much smaller SJW subculture existed years beforehand on LiveJournal, and of course it's been a cancer in academia for decades.

>>204006

Fuck me, I forgot about LiveJournal. I didn't go there much because the layout was always so weird, but yeah, there was always a marked difference in the community there than everywhere else I went. I want to say at the time it was still probably more mild than Tumblr is today, but I'm sure the transdimensional pansexual otherkin were there, just better hidden.

>>204005

>is as sad as it is hilarious.

Nah not sad, rather enraging and it tells you a lot about what a self-centered asshole he is

> It had been circulating around academia for a long time, it just really kicked into overdrive and began to become more mainstream during OWS

Exactly, just during OWS all these fucks suddenly got the funding to do all the shit they do……….why?

And how?

>>203960

To use '3000' calories would leave Bob in so much agony because of his fat and untrained body he would have to be hospitalised.

I bet it was more like a single day to do 300 calorie work out filled with hamburgers.

>>203958

Eh, Plato was really working from scratch, I don't know anyone who thinks EVERYTHING in The Republic is great. But it really is a key building block for western philosophy and western civilization. Almost everything we believe and know can be traced back to Plato and the Ancient Greeks in some way, shape, or form.

>>204025

That reminds me, I forgot to bring it up last thread but nothing proves how full of shit and just repeats whatever he hears Blob is more than that one nutrition video.

If he actually adhered to or understood the meaning behind even a single thing he said in that video he would be at risk for diabetes like now.

>>204027

In Platonism. Our basic building blocks that are not faggy can be traced back to Aristotle. We are Aristotlean. Both studied under Socrates. The reason why platon is not the fucking shit could be Spartas failure over all while Athens became so influential that its culture lived on in Rome. Which leads to the next building block of the West: Roman understanding of history. The very idea that we have concrete past and came from somewhere. Then came theology. Christianity is pretty much the only thing that has that social tech nailed down. After this was in, antiquity ended and the foundations were set.

tl;dr

You are only partly correct.

>>204029

>Eats cheeseburgers and pork to get fit

>Doesn't work

>Blames chad thundercock, the O'doyle gang, and the patriarchy.

Am I close?

>>204029

Can you give me the rundown? I don't want to subject myself to some beetusaurus talking about health.

>>204032

>>204033

He gives a lot of generic advice that anyone would pick up over the years lurking image boards and overhearing /fit/posters talking.

I honestly forgot most of it beyond

>nuts are a good snack

He probably also mentioned talking about going to the gym in it too. In general it was clear that he was all talk since the most important part about that kind of stuff is to actually go in the first place and keep at it.

I'm not gonna webm it, but I'll go watch it again and see if there's anything hilarious in hindsight worth drudging up.

>>204039

It's funny. Nowhere there do you see anything about wholesale lifestyle changes. Just minor things some idiot could do for 20 minutes. What about getting up in the morning and going for a walk and then run an increasingly longer distance at the end? Or something? Or don't drink booze or soda in excess? No wonder why he's got Wilford Brimley Disease.

>>203765

As a born and raised NYC resident, I find Bob and people who share his world view really irritating. It's ultimately a bunch of incredibly hateful rhetoric where anyone from the south or midwest must be an uncultured bigot. For him political views are the key deciding factor of a person's worth, and it's incredibly misanthropic and offensive. What really fucking pisses me off is that Bob idolizes the liberal coast cities and thinks they're inherently superior to other parts of the US, as if there isn't an incredibly deep hypocrisy to the "progressive" nature of these places.

Let me tell you about growing up in New York. Rich white kids from out of state want to come here because New York is seemingly so open minded and artistic. They come here and get useless degrees and make pointless art and do stupid performance pieces with their parents money. They raise the rent of lower and middle class neighborhoods, and real estate companies find ways to make ugly overpriced apartments in poor areas. Everyone caters to these people because they have money. Expensive stores, bars, coffee shops and restaurants open. Some of these neighborhoods are devoid of an actually decent grocery store to get proper produce from, so the poor people eat cheap garbage and suffer from health issues. Finally a supermarket opens thanks to the trust fund babies, except it's a Whole Foods and none of the natives can afford it. I myself am 20 years old and still living with my parents in the middle class residental neighborhood I'm from. I want to move out within the next five years. Several nearby neighborhoods have become gentrifed, and it's slowly spreading to me. Everyday I doubt how possible living here is.

The thing about all those people? They are all left leaning liberals who supposedly care about marginalized people. The irony that they're making it harder for all the lower classes is completely lost on them. Even the older ones, more interested in business and making money, are still left leaning. Behind every grass roots independent hipster bullshit thing happening in Brooklyn is usually a rich white dude from Connecticut who worked on Wall Street at some point. It's a deep hypocrisy that extends to the politicians themselves, as they eagerly find ways to bypass real estate laws and make more room for these people. New York is not alone either, this is happening in most major cities.

But fuck those rednecks, right!? Bob is an idiot who mindlessly drones on about the evils of red states all while ignoring the incredibly fucked up aspects of the blue states. He's an elitist prick who thinks he's some intellectual powerhouse that will be part of a utopia once the pesky rednecks are proven wrong and die off, but he himself is a middle class guy struggling to get by. Just like he's convinced that fellating Internet feminists will get him laid despite embodying literally every stereotype he rallies against, he thinks supporting these people and making the whole country like New York and San Francisco will make him no longer poor.

And for the record, I've always leaned to the left politically, but when I realized that there was a liberal counterpart to the idiot that believes everything Fox news says, I've since become fairy jaded with both sides. Bob is essentially half the reason I'm more moderate.

>>204044

From a certain city in the middle of the country where people apparently want to meet up and get wings at. It's getting bad here too. Insufferable hipsters everywhere, rent getting higher, Westport is either full of hipsters and neckbeards or you go to Power and White to go to overpriced restaurants and encounter middle-aged drunks and young douchecanoes from Johnson County afraid of anyone darker than a lunch bag and buy up Chiefs and Royals tickets but won't pay taxes to upkeep the stadiums. Assholes with too much money are everywhere man.

But, here's the irony. Bob would actually have an easier time paying the bills if he moved to Kansas City, Dallas or Atlanta. But no, there are too many "rednecks" here. If you go 45 minutes outside any city, you'll find rednecks. Bob's just a classist asshole in denial.

>>204054

Your city has a White Power intersection? Well, that rules.

I do always wonder why these Patreon superstars don't pick up stakes and live out in the country; after all, they probably don't have many irl friends if their job is on the Internet. Then I remember that if these people were anywhere close to self-sufficient, they wouldn't need Patreon.

>>204055

The Internet service not only blows out in the country, it's also overpriced as hell. Imagine paying $140/mo for a 4 Mbps DSL package. Because for a lot of people, that is reality. Regional telco monopolies need to be shattered like the trusts 100 years ago.

Point is, living in the city is one of the few smart choices these people make if they're going to make a buck off the Internet. It's just living in New York when you're making less than $100,000 a year that's colossally retarded.

>>204044

i think more and more people are becoming moderate, getting more jaded at every aspect of the right and left because they are getting so polarizing as of recently.

>>204044

Sir, I do believe you have just delivered the best rant I have read in months. My wife and I just returned home from a weekend getaway in Indianapolis, and many parts of that city are as you described, as well. Granted, not quite on the scale of NYC, but getting there. Vid related.

>>204044

Cheers bud. I used to live in Winslow on Bainbridge Island (the island directly across from downtown Seattle). Back in those days the filming of the "Hunger Strike" video was the most interesting thing to happen on the island. Nowadays you can't even go there unless you're at least a 90% smug asshole hipster.

>>203765

Why doesn't this faggot just make a Blog?! the whole point of twitter is, as far as I know, that you can only write a very short message. Why won't this go into his thick fat skull?

The writer from "Critical Miss" does that too, so maybe this is an requirement to get employed by the Escapist in the first place. I don't know

>>204075

It's less stupidity (although that does play a role) and more Bob's rampant narcissism. He thinks that what he says is so important that everyone must hear it regardless of the medium was meant for it or not. If millions of people read writings on the bathroom stalls all at once, he'd write it there too.

He does have a blog and he does use it from time to time.

I think he spams twitter with these long ass rants because he knows that almost no one reads his blog.

>>203807

Well I DID like "Blue". However, the sad part is that blobbo only like it because it is "porn that he is allowed to enjoy", any review he wrote is probably copied from some feminist blog.

>>204044

>He's an elitist prick who thinks he's some intellectual powerhouse that will be part of a utopia once the pesky rednecks are proven wrong and die off, but he himself is a middle class guy struggling to get by

That's the biggest irony of blob and his millions of clones everywhere defending this shit culture

They remind me of the poor hillbilly defending trump and other rightwing billionaires as if they cared about him

Basically blob is convinced that somehow, someway he is going to 'make it' into this obnoxious toxic culture, that despite the fact he is getting old, has shit health, but most importantly was not born in wealth nor in the right circles like these yuppie SJW shits did, despite all that he will be allowed to join them, and even though these assholes as you mentioned are the ones actually driving people like blob further from socioeconomic progress and actually enabling regressive economic practices to take place (check the 'sharing economy', basically marketingspeak for a return to the times when people had to live from day to day) blob will still defend them for free mind you, because he thinks he too can "belong"

>>204044

>And for the record, I've always leaned to the left politically, but when I realized that there was a liberal counterpart to the idiot that believes everything Fox news says, I've since become fairy jaded with both sides. Bob is essentially half the reason I'm more moderate.

This is becoming increasingly common for us on the left, isn't it?

Holy shit he is pumping out these copy and pastes out quick. He just released two more for a total of five so far in under a week. One is called idiot box and the other strange holly wood.

>>204099

He said it is just good not great and is a "angry little boy" movie that will blow their minds with the swearing and blood but won't impress anyone who can see it legally. He also complains about Deadpool's character and how it is a product of the 90s. According to him, Deadpool wears out his welcome quickly and his humor is dated. He also over analyzed the female x-men member and how she subverts Deadpool somehow and is actually a really good character. So yes, he does kind of dismiss it as basically "not marvel." If you want to watch it, it is on his youtube channel. I don't feel like making a webm

>>204113

>how it is a product of the 90s

Said by a fat fuck literally stuck in the 90s

Seriously, I'm afraid the universe can only take so much irony before it explodes, blob must be stopped

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/moviesandtv/columns/moviebob/7848-Why-Movies-Suck-Now-Part-One-The-Myths

Believe it.

I completely forgot he had these escapist articles

>>203885

Why not 12 years a slave? At least that movie had interesting film technique.

>>204136

This reminds me, a long time ago I remember reading what seemed like some kind of fucked up rape fantasy on the escapist, it was an anonymous article titled "the R word" I think. It was some real creepy shit where the author is fishing for sympathy by describing, with very flowery manipulative language, how he was raped as a child.

Back when I read that I remember thinking the author sounded a lot like blob.

>>204194

We have already an inflation of boring threads, filled with only mildy unpleasant persons.

Kids, we are talking of lolpigs here, not everyone that makes you angry is worth a thread. How many times we have to say it.

>>204195

i agree but you could lump all the indie comic clique into one thread, they are pretty much one degree of speration from the other patreon users

erika, bob and anita are all part of the patreon wellfare crew

>>204196

That graphic artist who did all the work for the cwc for a while had her friends start something similar to raise money online when she went broke from the medical bills, before it finally killed her. They kept it real low key, and apparently you had to be in the loop to even see it. Probably because they didn't want her to look like some hipster beggar. They only raised a thousand bucks. I believe she was already at the hospice stage. I've seen more money raised for sick cats.

That's what's wrong with this whole picture. You have perfectly good talented people with jobs who need money due to extraordinary circumstances, and then people with no discernable talent come along and goggle it up with their double speak causes and pink haired feminism.

>>204194

How old is this thing? It's got the face of a middle-aged man.

>>204197

> Someone who desperately needs to pay medical bills can't get money and dies

> Anita still gets hundreds of thousands of dollars to bitch about trivial minutiae

The world is a cruel, unfair place

>>204199

> why do sjw get into everything

It's just what they do. One person in a community gets bitten by the bug, decides the community as a whole is racist/sexist/problematic, and opens the floodgates for their friends to come in, and slowly they either convert everyone or weed out the ones who have a back bone. I've seen it happen to most of the old forums I used to go to, like clockwork.

I also wasn't aware KC Green became such a faggot. What a shame.

>>204137

Amistad was way better, but then again that shit wouldn't fly today because it shows you black slavers capturing black people and selling them to the white you know what actually happened and not only crackas being the bad guys

>>204194

Isn't that the bitch that keeps making those gross as fuck sex comics on medium?

Anyway, make a new thread for 'it'

>>204197

Thats fucking tragic anon, got more details?

>people with no discernable talent come along and goggle it up with their double speak causes and pink haired feminism

Sometimes I wonder how many of these fuckers aren't just confucks pretending for the money

I mean anita is, zoe too

>>204198

And that's with the airbrushing

>>204199

Kc is one of those guys who never really got there, he was always above average but not great and his few moments of brilliance were few and far with most of his work being shitty repetitive and unfunny comics with snakes and other shit, and then just shit

Pretty much every idiot who got tired of doing shit and surrendered to mediocrity becomes a SJW because its an ideology that constantly justifies failure and shift the blame elsewhere

>>204122

>Sold $100 ebooks.

>$4 each.

>Bob has only made $400, that's implying his publishers aren't getting a cut / taxes.

Bob, get a job.

>>204225

KC Green was the type of guy who was funnier when he was depressed, like how most funny comedians are also suffering from major depression. Then he got on pills to help himself, and his comedy suffered for it.

>>204227

It's a "Babby's First Self-publishing" platform, it's all but certain that they're taking 33% and they could be taking as much as 66%

>>204228

I wouldn't blame the pills considering he went SJW, an ideology that basically says "you're not a useless piece of shit who has squandered every opportunity in life, its everybody else and the rest of the world that's the problem!"

>>204225

> Pretty much every idiot who got tired of doing shit and surrendered to mediocrity becomes a SJW because its an ideology that constantly justifies failure and shift the blame elsewhere

> Try to think of a counter argument, specifically in the world of webcomics

> Can't

Another good example is the guy who does Paranatural. I'd say he's more talented than KC Green ever was, but his pacing really bottomed out once he got the SocJus bug. I remember he spent days ranting on twitter and having a nuclear meltdown because people on /co/ read Paranatural.

>>204207

Reading this garbage gave me eye cancer.

>>204236

Shit, really? Paranatural had so much damn potential when it first appeared.

>>204236

>never heard of that shit

>go to check it

>shitty cutesy unfunny crap

>author literally ebegging on patreon

>>204236

Paranatural too? Damn…

>>204065

>Bragging that you know how the niggers feel cold and the slum's got so much soul.

That reminds me of when those rich black kids were complaining about imaginary racism at Mizzou. Thanks for the song, anon.

>>204236

Do you have any caps to share?

>>204230

It's the hipster equivalent of evangelical christianity

I wonder if Jack Chick used to be cool

>>204318

Tumblr must be a wide awake nightmare for him.

>>204313

/co/ is a very special breed of stupid; you'd think after countless continuity reboots and style changes, one movie with a semi-dark tone wouldn't bother them.

I guess the original Superman just fades from existence once BvS is in theaters.

>>204334

But the movie is going to suck.

>>204334

>Tumblr must be a wide awake nightmare for him.

For once, he's probably in agreement with a lot of people instead of just fundies who like to drop off pamplets in the bathroom. Seriously, they're the fundie equivalent of a typical r/atheism poster.

>>204352

And? Aside from some select stories, everything the big two have ever published has been shit. Same goes for the movies as well.

>>204369

>Well the original Avengers faded from existence once their movies got successful.

Nobody knew about original avengers before their movies got successful. Avengers consist of B-tier lamest superheroes only /co/ faggots knew about.

Here were talking about only two most famous superheroes in the world even your granma knows about.

>>204372

That's right, no one should ever discuss anything on an image board. In fact, people should only exist to work themselves to the bone like good tools and never think a single original thought.

>>204369

I should have been more specific, I mean the Christopher Reeves movie, not the character being replaced with some demisexual thing to keep tumblr happy.

To use a blob example, he bitched and moaned all throughout the nolan batman movies, as if some big mean force had forbid him from ever watching the burton movies again despite those two being spat out on dvd and br constantly during the same seven year period.

I told you, I told you. Any MovieBob thread will always veered off to any other subject that is not MovieBob.

Next we will end discussing Baroque music and why Jean Baptiste Lully is grossly overrated.

>>204400

We're talking about his obsession with child-friendly censorship in super hero movies, and his fascist political views.

What thread are you reading?

>>204412

Just to clarify in case anyone was confused: just because someone posts with a capcode doesn't mean the thread is locked.

>>204491

I think he's sincere. I think the driving force is Blob's desire to think of himself as superior and an intellectual. This probably trumps his desire to get laid. In order to feel superior, just spouting things he doesn't actually belive and claiming that subhumans disagree with him isn't enough — he needs to actually belive it.

>>204364

You're right. Superman is a boring fucking character most of the time and even though the Christopher Reeves movies are classics they're still shit.

I want people bitching about Snyders Superman to rewatch Superman 2 the Donner cut and tell me with a straight face that S-Man isn't a gigantic cunt.

>gives up his powers for literally no real reason other than he can't be fucked

>very first thing he does is pick a fight with an asshole trucker totally expecting that he can just overpower him and refuses to stop fucking with the guy until he's wiped the floor with him

>end of the movie after he's regained his powers and spun the world backwards AGAIN (somehow even more retarded than kissing Lois' memories away) he goes back to the bar, picks a fight again and abusing his powers beats the shit out of somebody for no reason other than to feed his own ego

Seriously imagine how Bob would react if any of that shit happened in the modern Superman movies

But nah guys Snyders Superman is an asshole cuz he killed Zod…

Fuck these /co/ capefags

>>204520

I do mean all this in relation to Bob's faggot opinion on the film. I can't see a way to discuss how retarded blob's opinions on a movie are without inherently talking about the movie.

But if it's derailing then delete it.

>>204521

It's not derailing, no worries.

As far as how blobbo rationalizes how clark is a gigantic douche in every film and comic, I think it keeps going back to that "child-friendly!!!11one" visual design he adamants that all cape movies need.

He associates darker color pallets with the 90's era of comics, and thus anything that doesn't look pastel or overwrought with sky blue is grimdark to him, even something as innocuous as Bone or thought-provoking like the Maxx.

Meanwhile the absurd double standards and flat out bullshit characterizations of the 60's are just dandy in his book because they're bright and colorful.

>>203765

The only thing he got right is that Trump is transforming the GOP into a nationalist party.

Worldwide globalism was far from inevitable and there's a reason why Trump supporters are rebelling against it.

>>204334

>/co/ is a very special breed of stupid; you'd think after countless continuity reboots and style changes, one movie with a semi-dark tone wouldn't bother them.

/co/ has usually been right about comic book movies needing to be more like the comics in order to succeed. Marvel took to this practice and it turned their IPs into total cash cows.

On the other side, you have DC that's trying to set itself apart by taking similar stories and do grim dark versions of them unlike what you'd find in the comics.

It makes sense to keep the stories like the comics, because these stories became popular because of what people liked in those comics. Changing the property from something that has already been shown to succeed into something else is idiotic.

At the same time, Blob likely is completely unfamiliar with what has even been done with the comics and instead just has this vague notion of them based on old TV shows and cartoons like most of the adult population. Given his arrested development, I would hazard to say he likes what he imagines kids would like. So he wants everything infantilized and made cutesy the way he imagines kids would enjoy it, even if it makes it box office poison.

>>204542

Trump isn't transforming the GOP into shit.

It's more likely that the GOP will completely split into two parties than that the party becomes Nationalist as a whole or even in general.

The GOP are Corporatist shills and Corporatism is the same as Globalism, this isn't going to change unless the 90% of the people active in the party (Not the people voting for them) are switched out.

>>204521

Nah, it's fine. You're cool. We can slide around on the tracks a bit so long as we don't fall off them completely.

Personally I hated Man of Steel but not for fanboy reasons. The movie was fucking hideous to look at with the dull, lifeless, depressing muted color scheme and obnoxious cinematography and Superman was a myopic, unmotivated loser who didn't feel like a superhero.

When he killed the guy at the end, it didn't feel like he was doing it to be edgy or malicious or even like he was doing it because he had no choice. It felt like he killed Zod because he wasn't a good enough hero to figure out any other way. He wasn't strong enough to stop him, wasn't smart enough, clever enough or even just lucky enough - he snapped the guy's neck because he was a Shinji-esque loser who forgot to take his prozzaz. The end of the movie felt unrewarding because when the whole world needed him to give an A+ performance, he showed up with a C-.

In general, DC's live-action movies tend to fucking suck. They never seem to have any kind of heart or soul or even any brains, Even those Nolan Batman films (with the exception of Begins) fucking sucked. Rises was good in places, but the actual Batman parts were a fucking mess.

They make these movies for drooling fanboys like Bob, not realizing that Bob's ilk doesn't want "serious" stories, they just want goofy stories they can pretend are serious so they can feel like the smartest person in the room. If the movie is made with the pretense that the creators are smarter than you are, you don't get that smug satisfaction of understanding the "deep themes" that aren't really there.

Superhero movies should be fun popcorn entertainment that are serious in all the places they need to be, not boring manchild soap operas.

>>204572

> It felt like he killed Zod because he wasn't a good enough hero to figure out any other way. He wasn't strong enough to stop him, wasn't smart enough, clever enough or even just lucky enough

Exactly. Literally hundreds of thousands of people had to have died during his battle with Zod. If they wanted to make him look like such a great hero, they would have made Superman figure out a way to draw Zod away from the city so they could battle each other somewhere that wasn't populated.

Zack Synder needed to have them in a city setting though, because god forbid the movie is more than just a noise factory with lotsa 'splosions and shit getting destroyed.

>>204572

>>204574

If they were gonna have Supes kill Zod then he should have done it the moment Zod moved the fight to the city. There's literally no fucking reason that he would value the lives of 4 random people in the train station over the thousands and thousands that got not-so-subtly 9-11'ed

It would even have made sense in a way, the reason Superman doesn't kill is because he never HAS to kill, having the kind of power Superman has makes you responsible for other people and that includes 95% of Superman's villains. When someone just as powerful as himself comes around and starts murdering people in droves Superman should either make up a plan real quick or just take off the gloves and get it over with.

Apologies to Max Landis for shamelessly stealing his rhetoric, if you wanna see a really annoying person present this argument at greater length watch this

>>204572

>>204574

>>204576

Here's food for thought: if blob was triggered to hell by a supes movie with a classic villain, how much manchild rage would he spew if a recent baddie made it into a newer movie? A small part of me hopes Doomsday or Livewire make it in some how just to see his reaction.

>>204507

how could he think of himself as an intellectual when all he does is fanboy over Nintendo and review goofy popcorn flixs? there are dozens of people who prod intelligent video essays from this bloated sack of crap.uce video essays far smarter than anything movie blobs ever vomited into his microphone. aside from trying to connect the Halo Spartans to white nationalism, I'm struggling to recall any attempts at an intelligent video essay. Super Bunnyhop has made some pretty good ones. Even Nostalgia Chick at least managed to avoid looking like she has brain damage. (although she always had a Sarkeesian esk monotone; it's as if feminists only feel emotion when they are offended.)

If you're correct, it means that the only thing Bob Chipman could ever do towards his goal is to recite pre-existing information. That happens to be most of what passes for his "editorials." That's if you look at him as an actual film critic, a status he probably doesn't deserve.

>>204585

He isn't even good at being a fanboy.

>>204585

>how could he think of himself as an intellectual

Because a lot of idiots unfortunately think they are the smartest people in the world. Especially those suffering from some form of mental retardation.

>>204609

Smartest Guy in the Room Syndrome, I like to call it. My wife's ex-husband is that way. A month after she moved out, his electricity and water got shut off, and he wondered why it was he suddenly couldn't pay the bills on time.

>>204612

There's actually a real name for it. It's called the "Dunning-Kruger Effect."

The least skilled, experienced and especially intelligent people will always think they're absolute geniuses.

A good example of this would be Null, who thought he was the world's best coder and all he ever managed to do was break the site and develop vaporware.

>>204258

This "rich yuppie faggot with a heart" syndrome has been going on for a while, problem is that now its become mainstream, back when that song was written it was a small phenomenon limited to universities and some other shitty groups that meet in rundown cafes and stuff

Now its everywhere

>>204334

>Tumblr must be a wide awake nightmare for him.

Nah, people like jack are the right-wing equivalent of SJWs, for him shit like tumblr represents an endless stream of shit to bitch about not unlike violent vidya and gamers are for the SJW

Without it he would have to look for some other shit to bitch about, same as lefty fundies do

>>204390

Its literally ironman and captain america, and only because those two had popular movies before the first avengers one

Else they would be as unknown to teens as say black widow or that gay purple archer who isn't the green gay archer from DC

Shit I'm not a teen and I only knew about ironman because of that edgy animated series they made in the late 90s when I was a little kid

The hulk movie was shit, tho I'm sure blob will suck his big green cock because 2deep4me

>>204491

>You think he was converted or do you think it's more like Chris Chan where he is acting in an attempt to get laid?

I think its a mix of both but at the beginning he was clearly doing it thinking that SJW cunts would prefer him when in reality they will go with the sanic playing jocks that made blob's life miserable, because SJWs don't like fat bald fucks like him and would rather be "denigrated" by a 9/10 guy instead or culturally enriched on the side while cucks like blob pay the bills, looking at you sterling

However blob has now realized that being a SJW also helps him justify his pointless existence and wasted life, let alone the very habits that will kill his fat ass before he turns 40

>>204540

I think blob's problem with clark is that clark is a fucking loser IRL much like blob is, but despite that he isn't a fat shit without a job living in a fucking basement while doing shitty videos, and he gets to be superman on the side but what really irks the blob is that even superman's lame ass public persona that he uses to hide is doing much better than he does

In other words blob not only can't be a hero, he can't even get to clark kent's level, so of course he hates him

>>204593

Ironically he is right, because he is part of that problem. Morbid fatsos like blob should be declared uninsurable until they put down the fork and start running, and thats because in his entire life he couldn't make the decision to do that by himself.

>>204639

They're so ignorant that they don't know what they don't know.

Reminds me a bit of what Donald Rumsfeld talked about years ago and how idiots reacted to it thinking it didn't make any sense even though he was explaining that they understood the boundaries of their intelligence.

>“Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones. And so people who have the omniscience that they can say with high certainty that something has not happened or is not being tried have capabilities that are [beyond mine].”

https://stevespeeves.wordpress.com/2006/11/09/donald-rumsfeld-and-the-infamous-known-knowns-known-unknowns-and-unknown-unknowns-quotation/

>>204718

Another part is that blob grew up in an environment of consistent positive reinforcement, where he was never told 'no' or punished for acting up. Without his parents ever telling him he was wrong, his ego grew faster than his waistline and here we are today.

It's possible that the family tried somekind of punishment for negative behavior, but it's likely they just were silent around him in a weak shunning attempt. Blob, having his meters clogged with adipose, didn't get it and assumed nothing was wrong even when he ditched granny's funeral.

>>204369

Actually its the other way around.

The MCU SAVED the classic, old school Avengers. Along with Ant Man (Bendis hated him and spent most of the 00s doing his damnest to keep Scott Lang dead because he got pissy he was not allowed to kill him off in the pages of Alias).

More to the point, it pissed off Bendis so badly he did his best to co-opt the Guardians of the Galaxy so that he could try and make HIS vision of the Guardians be the one in the movie, not the version from the comic that was the inspiration.

Indeed, Bendis's general disdain for old school Marvel and his actions pissing on the makers of the Marvel movies wanting to use versions other than the ones he spearheaded, helped get Marvel banned from working on any further Marvel films being made by Disney.

>>204491

In my experience actual alpha males don't do much bullying. It's their beta chums that do, probably as a form of shielding. A popular male usually isn't someone who goes out of his way to make life miserable for some pathetic guy. It's the guy who's uncomfortable in social status. The guy who's punching above his weight so to speak. Only wizards think alpha "chads" are out to get them. The alpha probably didn't even know he existed.

The only time I've ever had an alpha throw a punch at me was in the ring. The only time I've had one sincerely go out of his way to bully me when was when I got to close to his girlfriend, and I must say his response wasn't very alpha. Kicking another man in the balls… Literally a blow below the belt. This basically ended his relationship with her. People don't actually like bullies.

I don't think Bob was particularly bullied anyway. I think he just snubbed. Like Elliot Rodgers was.

Neo Nazis are never really alphas and neither are members of antifa. An actual alpha forms his own group and has a mind of his own. That's why he's the alpha. In order for him to bully you he'd first have to care. Which means you'd have to be in his circle, and then it's not bullying, it's hazing.

>>204755

> helped get Marvel banned from working on any further Marvel films being made by Disney.

u wot

>>204491

I don't think he even understands it.

I think the entire reason SJ stuff ever took off in the gaming press was so that games journos could tell their parents that they were feminist critics or fighting for social change or whatever rather than having to look their parents in the eye and say that they talked about childrens toys on the internet, Bob's desperate attempts to be an intellectual and well documented bizarre family life make him far and away the most obvious example but it really does apply to all of them.

I would bet all the money I have that Bob has never read a book about feminism or really has any knowledge of feminism or its history at all, aside from what Anita says on youtube (and in all honesty I could easily imagine him being too lazy to sit through her videos).

>>204760

there was some "committee" that had to be consulted by the moviemakers (which bendis was naturally a part of) and as of last year that's no longer the case.

>>204846

Funny how someone who openly despises organized religion takes on a similar zeal for his own causes. That goes for allsjws, but it's extra sweet in blob's case after he made a big deal about being fired over the passion of the christ.

>>204850

He sat on his fat ass, probably just made a vid or two about videogame freedom, just to turn it all around when his social justice buddies told him it was bad.

Why the fuck is being concerned about corrupt journalists so triggering for him?

>>204948

And yes her necklace was a prop from the show. No idea if she had anything to do with it's design. Probably just a gift from the network.

>>204927

If saving the person requires extraordinary measures then no. It's not considered manslaughter. I'm not talking cpr, although the person can request no heroic measures which would include cpr. I'm talking surgerical intervention. There are hospitals which won't take gun shot wounds. Once admitted they'd have to treat the person. So they just don't admit the person in. An ER has to take you, usually but that's why more and more hospitals have no ER and the ER doesn't do cancer treatments.

You can die from a gunshot wound in front of a fully staffed hospital and not be admitted.There have been lawsuits and its a point of legal cocks, but good luck with that.

Legal loopholes.

>>204904

This is even sillier, Bob is like a fundie who doesn't know who Saint Paul was and who watched The Greatest Story Ever Told instead of reading the gospels.

Fuck Bob is to feminism what the characters in Four Lions are to Islam (except somehow stupider and less likable).

>>204953

>Watched the greatest story ever told

Bob more than likely passed that one off and settled for the early 70's bible cartoons animated in Japan.

>>204927

ERs are legally forced to "stabilize" you if you are sick at the most. If you have something minor, they can treat it (and gouge the fuck out of you in the bill) but if you have cancer or need major surgery or require extensive or radical treatment? You are fucked. They will patch you up best they can and then send you the fuck home.

It's one of the reasons why having cancer is a death sentence if you have no insurance. Pretty much ALL treatment for cancer falls outside of "stabilizing care" and if you go to the hospital ER, you'll be lucky if they give you a script for pain pills.

Granted, pre-Obamacare, you were also fucked if you HAD insurance. The insurance companies had OBSCENE number of ways to fuck over paying customers, to deny them services and treatments, because treating/curing a person of cancer was expensive and insurance company executives might have to go without a vacation or a gold plated toilet if they have to actually honor their commitment to the guy or gal who paid their premiums every month, in order for the insurance company to do their part when the time came.

From denying treatment for any reason they can come up with to outright REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE TEST RESULTS (because so long as they can pretend they don't know you have cancer, they can deny coverage), they will try and fuck customers over in order to avoid having to do their duty and spend the money people pay them to save their lives.

And even if they DO get forced to pay money to save a guy or gal's life from cancer Pre-Obamacare? They then blacklist the person (the dreaded "Pre-existing conditions" clause, which basically means if you have ever suffered from cancer, or other diseases that require insurances companies to spend money on someone, you can be legally BARRED from being allowed to buy insurance*). Or worse, they use your disease to raise your insurance rate more and more and more until you can't buy it anymore and basically have to drop it (one last mad gasp of gouging) while at the same time, evoking obscure "lifetime pay-out" clauses to say they already spent too much on you, so if your cancer comes back or something else happens health-wise, they can just flat out tell you to fuck off and not pay a dime to save your life.

*The film Sicko also had a big point where a former insurance company drone was talking about how they used pre-existing conditions also to weed out new insurance customers, so they could further narrow their customer base to victims to fleece and terror. To the point that their software for taking applications over the phone outright tell the drones that a person is going to be denied for pre-existing and that the drones could not even tell the rubes they were denied from day one.

Don't forget that grandfathered plans are except from much of that and that state level enforcement is nearly none existent so when they fuck you it becomes a federal matter, and that means its going to be as slow as molasses when it comes to change. Several states outright refuse to implement the oversight or enforce the changes. Then also if you're stuck in a grandfathered in plan you have to wait until the annual enrollment and cancer can be extremely agressive and if your plan is grandfathered in from a buisiness as opposed to an individual plan they can deny coverage based on yearly coverages and such. So they are still fucking people over as much as possible.

I never understood this scene. How hard could it be to get the cap off a bottle of pills? Even during my worst panic attacks I've managed to get open the xanax bottle with it's child proof cap with one hand while the bottles still in my pocket and pluck a pill. Couldn't they have had her having trouble finding a vein to inject something into or failing to cut her artery the right way? " maybe bust her trying to load the magazine of a gun or in the garage burning her lips on the tailpipe.

Given the number of gun owners, the ways you can legally obtain guns and both the lack of access to affordable mental health care and the stigma attached to it, that's not bad. That's like the vehicular manslaughter rate when accounting for car ownership. In many places we have open carry that doesn't require a license and in Kansas you don't need one to conceal. Plus you can legally buy one off the street. You can go on the internet and buy a used gun from a local as easily as a used stereo or get a working "antique" gun at fairs. In good firing condition, with new parts.

Problem is that with lolcows like Chris we are seeing escalating violent anti social behavior. This board is dedicated to chronicling the actions of crazy people. Eventually one of them is going to be a killer, like Luka Magnotta and the odds of this person owning a gun are frighteningly high if it's an American. Luke has an above average IQ and organized thought pattern. Which made him more likely to be a serial killer. The lower IQ people with unorganized thought patterns are more likely to be rampage killers, the ones with higher IQs and disorganized thought patterns are most likely to be spree. There are exceptions, but that's the profile. So Chris Chan could feasibly escalate into a spree or rampage killer. I don't think he'd get very far as a spree. If you saw Chris Chan with a gun you'd run and he's in no shape to chase and probably wouldn't do the prep work required. Like going to a shooting range.

Before guns we had spree and rampage killers as well as serial killers, but we had different terms for them. It was just more rare because the weapons available took more skill to operate. Prince Liu Pengl in 144 bc forced slaves and convinced local outlaws to help him kill entire small villages and hunt down those who attempted to escape for sport. Over 100 confirmed kills, and taking the inflation of civilization since then into account he was a prolific mass murdering spree killer. The sparser population density and skill involved made for lower kill counts in rampage and even spree killings. A spree is a rampage that takes place in multiple public places. If the killings are in the open and attempts are made on multiple lives then it's rampage or spree. A serial killer is usually one who targets one or two individuals in a sneaky manner. Most of the early recorded spree and rampage killers were in Asia and the middle east. This could be accounted for by the proliferation of weapons and higher population densities. Elsewhere serial killings were more common than spree and rampage as it's easier to kill one person at a time in a private location to rack a high enough score to make the history books given lower population densities and higher density of active public security forces. Spree and rampage are usually caught within hours to days, as they leave witnesses. But the lack of fire power didn't lower the murder rate per capita as much as you'd imagine. The fact of the matter is that even in this era of semi automatic weapons, exploding bullets, and loose regulation spree killers are still incredibly rare and people are more mentally stable and less violent on average. It's just that with higher population density you raise the chances of there being a killer amongst you and his or her ability to rack up a high score quickly increases.

Watch out for that alcoholic loaner with a history of anti social crimes, a temper and an obsession with violence. Be it of a historical or fictional nature. Also don't blame the media. Teenage girls who buy magazines with sex articles are more likely to have sex, but it's been demonstrated that the interest in sex is what drives them to buy the magazines. Not the other way around. That's why it says sex tips on the cover. Also never ever let a girl convince you to try something out of one of those without giving you the details first. Don't ask for details, just trust me.

Bob is too much of a chickenshit in real life to hold a gun let alone go on a killing spree.

He will most likely die of a heart attack, or get his foot chopped off because of his diabetes then become homeless due to the medical bills.

>>205047

You think it takes bravery to operate a firearm? A gun is what you buy to feel brave. Not the other way around. Plus they call suicide the cowards way out for a reason. So if he becomes suicidal the only thing preventing him from taking others with him is his conscience and I'm assuming bad eyesight. He doesn't take care of himself in other medical ways, and those glasses frames are like 20 years old judging from the style. I bet the reason he hasn't played many games lately is that he can't read the screen from the couch.

I've actually had a firectae go off in my hand and I wouldn't compare the two.

Revolvers are louder, but let's say he got colt 1911 9mm. It's loud, but it's not like having a firecracker go off in your hand. At least not when fired outdoors and with ear protection. I've never actually been stupid enough to fire anything larger than a .22 without ear protection and since it was a revolver I did immediately regret it. Went back inside and got my headphones. Because I was at my girlfriends place and didn't have any other ear protection. It's a noisy little cricket but it's not like having a god damn firecracker go off in your hand. First off it doesn't even sting like when you hit a ball with an aluminum baseball bat without gloves. It's not that scary to be on the smart side of the gun. Odds of Bob having some hearing impairment are also pretty high judging from his videos. So all that's left I'd the recoil, and having a nice heafty gun like a Jericho that's firing ordinary 9mm rounds isn't that much of a kick when fired from the proper stance using two hands. Now hitting the target from a hundred yards with a handgun, that can be tricky. That's why we aim for center mass.

Lots of cowards own guns. It makes them feel bigger. The question would be if he could hit anything.

>>205134

Considering he can't even see his life for what it is, I doubt he can aim for a static target.

The other day I decided to actually sit down and watch a bunch of Bob's videos for the first time, mostly his more recent ones. They were just shocking. And not just because of the autistic AT4W style plotline. His opinions on video games are so poorly informed that I find it baffling how he ever became popular to begin with.

He apparently can't conceive of the notion that just maybe there are some gamers that Nintendo doesn't resonate with. He can't conceive of the idea that maybe some people play on a PC or a Playstation or an X-Box because (heaven forbid) they actually enjoy those platforms. In his mind there are only two kinds of gamers. Those who sing the praises of glorious Nintendo and those who play COD/Madden and NOTHING ELSE PERIOD. I mean fuck, that has to be the most boring outlook for gaming you could have. If Nintendo really was the sole bastion of quality in gaming then frankly I'd say the medium should just be left to die.

The thing I hate most though is the historical revisionism he throws around willy nilly. Apparently a cheap reskinned game from the 80s is the greatest example of innovation and risk-taking in the medium. Apparently Bob "fought" a righteous war of "necessary aggression" against Jack Thompson and right-wing censors. One of the commentors in the final episode summed it up perfectly. Bob is a man so desperate for meaning in life that he pretends trivial shit like the console wars and Fox News hit pieces were some grandiose event of modern history. So he creates an outlet for his messiah complex through a web series where every problem he has with gaming is the result of an evil psychic ape and Captain N's spirit will empower him to save the day.

I'm divided on whether or not I find this series retarded, hilarious, pitiable or infuriating. The downvotes thankfully got larger as the series went on. But it honestly disturbs me that there are some people out there who would actually look to this sad fuck as a source of wisdom.

>>205922

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW0ogPDEUtc

This video is a perfect example of just how fucking shallow Bob's tastes in games actually is. I dount even his most loyal fans could look at this list and think that he approaches modern gaming with a fair outlook.

I mean fucking hell. Wii Sports? A collection of arcade games from the 80s and 90s? For as much as people like to harp on about how modern gaming is stagnant, I can't accept that anyone would think this list contains the cream of the crop of about 7 years worth of games.

His contempt for the FPS genre is on display as well. Of all things he could have chosen he went with Bioshock Infinite and COD4. Not for actual gameplay or merit but for their relevance to Bob's political leanings.

>>205913

>>205922

>His opinions on video games are so poorly informed that I find it baffling how he ever became popular to begin with.

Because he praised nintendo, and nintentards are the most butthurt manchildren of all vidya spergs

>inb4 sanic

Sanic is not on every console, if you mean sega spergs they moved on a long fucking time ago because you seriously can't expect people to not play any new vidya for 15 years which is how long ago that company left the market

Now nintendo is not even a shadow of what it used to be, but they keep this small drip of games going so retards stuck the 80s like blob will keep praising them

At the same time I wouldn't be surprised if the blob noticed that it was only nintetards like him who bought any stupid shit made by hipsters that involved things from old ass nintendo games, from tshirts to fucking cellphone cases. So he makes videos who appeal to this set of imbeciles because he knows they are the only ones willing to pay for this shit.

>Apparently Bob "fought" a righteous war of "necessary aggression" against Jack Thompson and right-wing censors

I don't remember him even existing back then, so its not only revisionism but he's talking shit big time

>I'm not surprised he shares the generally dismissive attitude of the medium with his idols, Sarkeesian and Faraci.

Nah, anita has clearly never been a gamer and just repeats whatever bullshit she hears/is told to say

Ever seen those pics where she can't even hold a controller properly? its fucking hilarious

>>205942

>Sanic is not on every console

Meant to said its NOW on every console

>>205955

>the Ps1 should have been his Hiroshima and Bay of Pigs?

More like Berlin in 1945, consider that the PSX was going to be the Snes' equivalent of the SegaCD which in turn was made by JVC for Sega and instead became the one console that destroyed nintendo's foothold in the market forever.

The console wars were actually pretty good times since you had two consoles with more or less half of the market all the time. That led to a lot of innovation which doesn't happens when one console practically dominates the market, which is what happened with the PSX and PS2, this is why a lot of oldfag gamers remember this era with joy, but the thing about blob is that because he's so fucking stuck in the past he is still that stupid kid that spend all his time arguing which side was better instead of playing the fucking games

My point is that blob isn't a gamer at all, he's the vidya equivalent of those shit-tier sport commentators who never ever played any sports by themselves but feel their opinions are worth publishing somewhere because they watched every fucking game by X team since they were kids and they are really big fans of it.

>>205965

This. If he had any sense of history at all, he'd know that Sony did more damage to Nintendo than Sega ever did.

>>205982

What I find so annoying about that is that in a lot of his videos I looked at he constantly bemoaned that today's gamers know nothing about gaming history. And by gaming history he's pretty much always referring to the NES era and occasionally the arcades. Hell, a lot of the stuff he whinges about is only relevant to American audiences. He thinks it's a shame that no one remebers Nester from the old Nintendo Power magazines. He thinks fucking Captain N is so inspirational that he's the gaming equivalent to Superman or Captain America.

He released a video about how the PC was "dying" quite a few years ago but honestly I still think its kind of relevant in that it really illustrates just how shallow his views are of anything not related to Nintendo. He started off by rambling about how the PC gaming community only came about because a bunch of kids too poor to afford an NES were bitter that they had to settle for lesser machines. He ended it with a quick little apology and claimed that he respects what the PC has done for gaming. The apology managed to piss me off more than the rant because it was so obviously insincere. A look at any of his other videos about the PC or the FPS genre shows that the rant is what he actually thinks of both the PC and pretty much any other non-Nintendo console.

>>206021

The beautiful irony of blob is that an immensely obese man(child) lives in such a tiny, little world.

>>206027

He really does. His show takes place in a universe consisting entirely of identical overweight bearded men.

>>205942

>I don't remember him even existing back then, so its not only revisionism but he's talking shit big time

Technically he doesn't single himself out. He says "his generation" made a choice to take the extreme route and ignore all criticism that games cause violence and Gamergate is a cargo cult that's trying to emulate his generation. Whatever you're opinions of Gamergate are you can't deny it's fucking gross that Bob would create a narrative that bases the thing around himself. According to him the whole situation is some sort of tragic hero fable where the righteous soldiers inadvertantly create a monster. He went balls-out with his messiah complex in his final episode.

And even his narrative about his generation reeks of pretentious revisionism. Just what the fuck did he and his friends do to fight censorship? I doubt they did much more than complain about it. I certainly don't remember hearing about any grand Supreme Court battles between gamers and Jack Thompson. And his bullshit about there being other studies to consider is a pure golden mean fallacy. Studies about the influence games (or media in genreal) have on people's behaviour are notorious for being sloppy as fuck and almost always fail to meet academic standards.

>>206117

He wrote an article about it.

http://screenrant.com/ghostbusters-reboot-trailer-female-characters-response/

tl;dr: He doesn't like the look of the trailer, but thinks that no one will be able to share their real feelings about the movie on it's own merits due to it's position in the current culture war.

>>206256

People like Bob are the ones engaging in a "culture war." At this point, Bob needs a "culture war" because it is the only way for him and people like him to troll for views. If they had to actually write something of substance rather than talk about "problematic" elements of a piece of entertainment, then they would be out of the job.
