As far as I can tell, you are not banned from Anarchy. Not sure if things are different this time around, but you might need the Beyond the Sea or Penguin Party nameplate to get in. Try requesting them and see what happens, I'll approve it for you.

I only recently found out it's apparently pronounced "verb-ay-tim" in English. Strange things indeed.
How the fuck did you think it was pronounced?
Ver-bah-tim.

It will always be ver-buh-tim in my head.
Same here man.
is that really how you've been saying my name?... gross
Yeah, it's probably gonna stay that way too. Ver-bah-tim. It's how it's pronounced in all languages I speak except for English.

The Bank blew its cover on Friday when it accidentally emailed details of the project – including how the bank intended to fend off any inquiries about its work – direct to the Guardian.
That is the best thing I've read all day.

Lack of discussion value.
That's fucking stupid
You know the rules. We did the survey and poll, and the majority decided that blatant shitposting without any discussion value whatsoever should result in threads being locked.
If that thread didn't have discussion value it wouldn't have had replies or must I copy and paste the definition of discussion?
According to Oxford and Cambridge, it's "a conversation or debate about a specific topic" and "the activity in which people talk about something and tell each other their ideas or opinions". A picture of a log with a dog's face on it that received no more worthwhile replies than "ring rong" can hardly be considered people having a conversation where they share their opinions on a certain topic. It has no value of sparking an actual discussion or conversation.

Meanwhile the UK has restrictions on money spent, and can't get ads on TV.
Same.
For candidates or for parties?
Or both?
Parties = candidates. And limits on spending + amount of donations they can receive.
Ah, limitations. Not outright barring. Had me lost for a moment.
Ah yeah, it's just limitations.

Never heard of this before.
Aren't Emergency Medical Services called EMS for short in Europe Land, too?
The only European country where the primary language is English is the UK, so not really.

Friendly reminder that blatant personal attacks against other members (any other member) are still against the rules and will result in warnings and bans if they keep up.
Fuck all of you
I love you too, man.

This doesn't seem to have much to do with racism at all. They're just going against the established "lore".
Not that I care about superheroes and all that, but to me this would be no different than comic book fans getting worked up over Captain America all of sudden being a female in the next movie for absolutely no reason. You would hardly call these people "sexist" for complaining about a character that has been a certain way for 65 years suddenly having something changed for no reason.
According to wiki, The Fantastic Four have been around for 55 years. All of a sudden deciding to make one of the lead characters black seems like a strange thing to do, then. If the Hulk would randomly become red instead of green in the next movie, fans would complain about that just the same and for the exact same reason too; not because they somehow have an issue with a certain race / color.
To be fair, that's not really an apt comparison. The Human Torch is nowhere near as iconic as Captain America and the Hulk at this point.
Like Meta said, this is a very subjective thing. Hulk might be more mainstream, but I'm sure that there are tens of thousands of Fantastic Four fans out there who genuinely care about this. Besides, it's almost always the vocal minority that gets heard.
Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if more superhero fans pick up on this. Even when they don't particularly care about The Human Torch, I can see many worrying that this might happen to their own heroes too, or just being concerned about the principle of superheroes' established characters and lore.
Movies and adaptations diverge from the main source material all the time, as was pointed out by Turkey in regards to Nick Fury. I could maybe see you're point if you were arguing against tokenism, but that wasn't what you were positing. The fact of the matter is that "lore deviation" really doesn't hold any truck with me, because movie iterations of graphic novels/books or any kind of artistic material for that matter don't always 100% adhere to the main continuity they base it off of. In fact 99% of the time I'd wager they never do.
I'd say it's a case-by-case thing, though. Like Cheat said, Fury apparently was black in the "Ultimate" universe that the MCU movies are modeled on. In this case, you have a member that has always been portrayed as white. Plus, it really doesn't make any sense. Both Johnny and Susan have the same parents and backstory, yet one of them is now extremely pale and white, while the other is completely black for absolutely no reason? Either way, I don't really care about this. I'm not much of a comic book or superhero fan anyways. Just saying that I understand where the upset fans come from, as it does completely go against 55 years of established lore and a pretty fundamental characteristic of the person, all potentially in the name of tokenism and forced diversity.
