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.

If you feel the need to dissect the latest idiocy at TBP, may I suggest taking it over to the new thread I started in RPGPundit's Forum (where all the political raging is going on)? It helps sidestep the issue of 'deviating from RPGs into pure social/political arguments'.

After I started this thread I went to delete it and had no option to do so.  I even reported it to the mods and invited them to delete it, but it is still here.

I have been reading a thread over at RPG.Net where people were posting their thoughts about the new Masters of the Universe Revelation on Netflix Kevin Smith series and of course, the SJW shills over there were creaming themselves to heap accolades upon it.  Here is an example: https://ibb.co/X4D97Br

There were a few that did not like it and for that, they had to be punished.

This poor guy got a 1 day ban for truthfully complaining about how the show replaced the men with women and made men look incompetent compared to the women: https://ibb.co/B4CCfQs

Nevander received a warning from the Moderator NAZIs for being too negative in his dislike of this trash: https://ibb.co/dgMHtZh

The Mod NAZI literally said he was being too negative and that this was not the first thread where he had done that before.  I know Nevander and he has NEVER posted anywhere on RPG.Net in a negative fashion about disliking something the way he did in this thread and has had a spotless record at the forum up till now.  When he questioned the mod about this they then banned him till July 30th. because opinions that differ from the assclown mod NAZIs over there are a no-no and apparently it is a crime to ask why you are being punished for simply stating your dislike of something.  https://ibb.co/NyLrdWx

It is hilarious to me that this mod NAZI literally has the description of 'His Honorable Tyranny' in his use info: https://ibb.co/HgL2QhW

The honorable part is definitely not applicable to this scum bucket but the tyranny part certainly applies.

Same fuckers were crying to the high heavens before it came out because they wanted a new season of She-Ra. And He-Man was for Teh Misogynerds.

Now that it turned to be She-Maam and the Wokesters of the Universities they are creaming their pants about it. Of course the loonies are such a small fraction of the population it will tank.

I've been wanting to post about this, hesitated because Netflix crapping on IP's is a dead horse.
But as long as we're getting the sticks out...

I haven't watched the show. I'd be interested in a new MOTU series. I really liked the 2002 reboot. But I've avoided this due to the reviews. If it's half as bad as they say, then I'd only be interested in watching it to have context for complaining. Why bother?

One argument I've seen made is that they ironically ruined Teela by making her a bitchy whiner.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Well, she tells prince Adam that yes he died but the rest had to live with his death.

Also bitches and whines to King Randor and Queen Marlena about her fee fees being hurt... Right after He-Man dies...

What's really chapping people's asses about MOTU:R is how Kevin Smith fuckin' lied through his teeth about it. And not in the 'I'm trying to avoid spoiling shit' way, either.

And the fact that Teela comes off as an unlikable bitch who people would only follow out of morbid curiousity. And the unusually high body count (who is this cartoon made for, again?).

Killing off characters is so frikkin lame. It's good when done well as part of the story, but it's become a drama crutch. For a show based on a toy franchise, it's doubly stupid because the next film/series will just reboot the characters back to life because status quo wins with a toy line.

Someone in the writer's pen needs to point out that complaining is not character development. :D

I nearly chocked on my Tea when I heard Evil Lynn say "Bollocks" when her magic failed her.

What kills me is that I have literally no idea who this show was meant ot be aimed at.

Original MotU fans are going to be horrified by the He-Man treatment and the SJW crowd will hate the way that Teela is just trying to get He-Man back to Eternia for the entirety of the series.  It's like she knows that even though she is a complete Mary Sue (her ultimate fear is not of failure it's showing that she is powerful enough to be a Master?????)

Clearly they were looking to get another 5 episodes where He-Man survives /  is ressurrected and ultimately defeats Skeletor.  I wonder if that gets canned when the Rotten Tomatoes score doesn't improve.  Talk about a ratio!!

It's already approved for 5 more episodes. Kevin Smith had been bouncing everything off a bigwig at Netflix, and he loves the show the way it ended up.

I hate to hear that they treated Teela like that. I always saw her as a strong character, though I will admit they did a better job of showing that in the 2002 series. Still, I don't remember a whole lot from He-Man, plotwise. But even after all these years, I still pretty clearly remember the one episode dedicated almost entirely to Teela and Evil Lyn. Teela didn't whine about it. I mean, they both probably said "oh, no" or something at first, as people do when bad things happen; but they didn't wallow and got down to the business of surviving and getting out of that desert. Teela was the one who found the water, FFS, so I credit her with keeping the both of them alive. I know Evil Lyn contributed to the effort, too(probably), but for some reason the scene of Teela kicking the cactus open sticks out while other scenes in the same episode do not. And she was always strong without being horrible to other people - "You were dead? What about my survivors' guilt or whatever? Your son just died? Well, what about my feelings?" Ugh!

And someone said above that they killed off Orko, and nobody's going to comment on that? I believe part of his background is that he used to be super powerful and competent until something separated him from his people and turned him into a comic relief character. If they wanted Orko to be more than comic relief, which I totally understand, he already had the kind of background they could have done a lot with to make him into a more substantial character in his own right. The material was there. How fucking lazy. Just fuck.

  Not a doubt in my mind the same sort of person who greenlights streaming cuties would be giddy with excitement as to how Smith handled He man.   The 5 episodes are in the can and more or less complete, and reality is I am pretty sure Netflix is more than willing to take some "losses" to push their social agendas.   I just hope that queef has no say over the Conan production they do there, perhaps there is some dude locked in the basement that approves the high test stuff they seem to platform (like extraction) who will get to make the calls on that one.

Until people on a much larger scale wisen up to know to boycott garbage like this it will continue to happen over and over again.  The Hollyweird execs are literally so arrogant they think they can destroy all the IPs we love, crap on the fans and call us names publically, and indoctrinate us in their moral superiority and we will mindlessly continue to keep buying their crap anyhow.  So far, they have been correct.

I never "followed" Kevin Smith, but I really liked "Clerks" and "Chasing Amy" back in the day.

I understand the need by some to have "a public figure", but still dressing as a slacker from the '90s when you are over fifty is not healthy IMHO.

One thing I like about Tarantino is that I have no clue about his private life and his political beliefs. He could be gay and living with Tim Roth for what I know. What matters is that he pushes out a good (or at least interesting) movie after good movie (I liked a lot "Inglorious Basterds" and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", less "Django Unchained" and "The Hateful Eight"). And a good interview after a good interview. This is the only thing that matters.
