Verb is it true that you still use a CRT for gaming? If so post pics please
too much effort for something that's not really all that interesting tbh but yes, i use it to play pre-HDMI era games, because HD TVs suck a fat cock at displaying old games which is why it's SUCH A FUCKING JOKE when people try to argue that new technology is objectively superior, fuck you

then fucking clarify it
"reverse racism" doesn't. yes it does Reverse from fucking what? the conventionally understood definition of racism which has come about from the historical mistreatment of minority races by white people not just black people, but asians and native americans and everyone else when people hear racist, they think of that it's not my fault

I think that women are wrongly held to a higher standard, while men are held to a lesser standard.
what standard are we talking about again

literally implies that "normal racism" can only be against black people it actually doesn't at all why not use the extra syllables in order to not be a bigot? Language is all about efficiency, and less syllables doesn't mean more efficient. You lose meaning and clarity.
the history around the word "racist" is such that the implications of white racism are nearly inseparable from the word itself, unless you clarify that white people are the ones being prejudiced against this concept is difficult not in the case of chauvinist, MOST PEOPLE (even you, just now) automatically assume that the word has this strict definition, so in order to convey a different meaning, i'm forced to use a stupid word like "reverse" to get my point across

(that literally argument for double standards was ridiculous) what
I believe Class is referring to the discussing on women being held to a higher standard, where Class argued that women should be held to the same standard as man less it be unfair to women.
oh you mean the "discussion" where i was purposely being a foil to his own reverse chauvinism
"Reverse chauvinism"? Eh, I agree to the assertion that all people should be held to the same standard, regardless of race of sex.
there's a reason we use the word "reverse" in these contexts if you wanted to convey that someone was being racist against white people, how would you put it you could just say "racist" and you wouldn't be wrong, but that doesn't necessarily get the message across "reverse racism" is three syllables less than "racism against white people," and it conveys the same message, and only pedants would dick around over the semantics or implications of it imo

reverse chauvinism
this phrase makes zero sense
if i had said "chauvinism" you would've construed it in a way that i didn't intend, so i add "reverse" for the sake of clarity yes it's obvious that there's no such thing, but again, it's for the sake of clarity

analyzing a movie means recognizing it's not real
i think recognizing that movies aren't real just means that i'm mentally healthy, frankly frank underwoodly

true immersion can never be reached
Even if that were true, it doesn't matter. The purpose of every story is to strive to reach true immersion. If yours doesn't, it means you have no integrity in your universe, either because of apathy or corruption.
the purpose of every story is to send a message, actually
That's the immediate purpose - and only of some stories. The immediate purpose of something like The Naked Gun is to make you laugh. The immediate purpose of The Notebook is to make you cry. What all of these have in common, though, is the strife towards full immersion. You can't make someone laugh if you don't believe in what you're writing, and the only way to believe in that storywriting is by believing in the universe you're trying to create.
which is STILL not impossible to do while taking a more formalist, analytical approach to the experience maybe try it some time and you'll see

Like here, I tend to be very un-judgemental irl, so my friends have 0 issues with telling me their issues. If anything, people tend to tell me more than I'm comfortable with solely because they know I'll tell them things without being mean, but also without lying to them.
i'm not mean to my friends either
It's not an issue of being mean; I'm not nice either. I just create the atmosphere of acceptance, regardless of thought or credence. My mother herself (a hardcore Republican, climate change denial and everything) couldn't even figure out my stance on issues without me outright telling her.
It's why, optimistically, I'd hope to be a judge one day. Realistically, I'll be dead before that's possible.
yeah you'd excel in law school, i think i thought i created an air of acceptance, too, but i guess i just don't i understand that people don't necessarily want a third parent, but i think some people need one

Literally look at the purpose of a story from the most basic, caveman standpoint.
why in god's name would i do that
Because I'm arguing what the point of every story is. The meta aspects are a perversion of the inherent purpose of the story (total immersion), just like a lie is a perversion of the inherent purpose of language (communicating thoughts).
I can't do that unless I reference a time before that perversion existed.
i can be totally immersed in a film and still be analyzing the technical aspects
sucks that you can't i guess
No you can't. If you can analyze the film, that means you're admitting it isn't real.
immersion is not "this is real"—that's total immersion, which is physically impossible, and something you wouldn't want to experience anyway
immersion is "this asymptotically approaches real, but i know in the back of my mind that it's not real"
Wrong. That's partial immersion. True immersion is "this is real"
i literally said both of these things in that post you fucking idiot i'm saying partial immersion is all that's possible true immersion can never be reached

Would you consider them two separate aspects though?
sure i think it becomes easier to combine the two the more you watch the film, though

archer is dogshit
I mean, a lot of the humor is derived from the fact that Archer is a terrible person
It's a "laugh at him, not with him" situation. H. Jon Benjamin is one of my favorite VAs tho.
even if i liked the show's humor, the art style is headachingly ugly
i feel the same way about rick and morty
I actually like Archer's art style
I do agree with Rick and Morty tho, and the longer it takes for them to start S3, the more I realize the show is pretty shitty.
this is the first negative post i've seen about the show, ever thank you

Ultimately this is an anecdotal thing, but I know the intimate details of all of my bffs lives
i mean, so do i—but it's different, because people tend to filter it in ways that make them look better—pretty much exactly like people do on the internet, but almost worse when my friends tell me intimate stories, it's obvious to me that 40-60% of it is fabricated or embellished, partially because they know i can be a very judgmental person, and i'm not afraid to chastise my friends for doing some some really dumb shit and all my friends are at an age where pretty much all they do is dumb shit, as you can likely imagine it's not that i get angry at them, but the way they are, it's clear to me that they don't like making me upset so i can feel the eggshells they walk around when speaking to me, and it just pisses me off—it's like i'm not even talking to a real person anymore, almost like a caricature of a person i once knew the internet is the only place where i feel like people are truly open and unafraid to express themselves, so the notion that your "real life" friends are closer to you will always be a joke to me

Maybe, but that's not something you recognize when you view the film. There are no actors. Harrison Ford isn't in a studio running from a prop, Indiana Jones is desperately sprinting away from a giant boulder that's about to crush him. The actor doesn't exist, and neither do any meta aspects like film quality or writing mechanics. It might be enjoyable to list off the tropes you can see, but it detracts from the nature of a story itself, not to mention viewing pleasure.
so i mulled this post over and i've determined that absolutely none of this is true
