This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Wrath of God on April 15, 2024, 03:50:52 AMFirst of all, there may be things for which Netflix owes you apology.
But making bad He-Man sequel with He-Man being supporting character is... not one of those things.
You can dislike it, but it's not in any way sin against you, you are in no position to keep grudge. You may dislike it, and not watch it, and that's fine.

Second, also Netflix is corporation so logic of forgiving sinners which is Evangelically strictly individual do not really apply. You buy things from corporation because you like or need them, you don't if you don't. But also that means influence of corporation is more nebulous, and whole question should I forgive them because they made better He-Man series is reductionist. If you ask whether there is need to boycott Netflix then neither one bad He-Man cartoon is no reason for that, nor is one good reason to not too.

First of all: Learn to write proper English it isn't that hard.

Second, you appear to have lost the forest for the trees, or are purposefully misunderstanding the detour about sinning.

Third, YOU don't get to decide what I find offensive enough to merit an apology from the makers of that show before I even consider forgiving what they did, that's a power ONLY I have.

I cancelled Netflix for their pedo adventures, but (even knowing how and having the means to do so) I wouldn't even pirate their MotU wanna be show.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

I refuse to bestow such honour on this mongrelish half-French abomination that erased glory of Old English :P


QuoteSecond, you appear to have lost the forest for the trees, or are purposefully misunderstanding the detour about sinning.

I think not. Like either you judge Netflix as whole, and I said it's OK - I don't buy their merch either.
Or you judge just this small piece of creation.

QuoteThird, YOU don't get to decide what I find offensive enough to merit an apology from the makers of that show before I even consider forgiving what they did, that's a power ONLY I have.

Well that's exactly what wokesters claim about offence and being offended, and I mock them for it. Why should I make exception for their conservative mirror-personas :P

QuoteI cancelled Netflix for their pedo adventures, but (even knowing how and having the means to do so) I wouldn't even pirate their MotU wanna be show.

I mean that's fine take. Especially part 1.
Part 2 - well that depend whether you generally like MOTU I guess (I never did even as small kid so...)

As long as they can get free advertising from people like Pundit and other reviewers they will keep doing it.

And if no one does call it out, the companies will put more in and claim to everyone that it's always been there and you didn't complain about it before...

You seem to be under the delusion that if ignored, the woke will just go away.  We've gotten here because the woke were ignored for way too long.  The woke are like ticks: try to pull them out and they'll dig deeper, ignore them and they'll just keep sucking your blood and giving you diseases.  Pick one.
