Lol I don’t know why you guys are surprised that the guy who says things like “Daddy’s home, time to shut the fuck up!”

I’m trying to remember, when did he say that?

Saying someone is an ass and saying someone is being an ass isn’t the same thing anyway.

It was several months I don’t feel like looking forward to it but I promise he did. I remember using it in the Out of Context thread.

Not like me, who always and has always posted with such style and grace the gods themselves could envy me.

Lol I don’t know why you guys are surprised that the guy who says things like “Daddy’s home, time to shut the fuck up!” whenever he gets a complaint without joking isn’t being super nice in an argument. Probably best to just move past it it’s not like he’s going to give himself a warning. Saying someone is an ass and saying someone is being an ass isn’t the same thing anyway. Not that I think dahmage was being an ass either, he wasn’t, and his feelings on the matter were expressed just fine by saying “cool” which was the point. But the lesson to be learned here, I think, is it’s okay to say someone is BEING a *expletive* as long as you don’t say they perpetually are said expletive? That’s the example being set by the admin anyway.

I wouldn’t suggest coming back with “you’re acting like a dickhead” or anything like that though.

I know people love to say that people who say “kids today are lazy” are out-of-touch… but… this is just a Google search away. And you can buy them everywhere. And you can ask literally anybody. I never had a problem figuring this out with my absentee-ballot.

Yeah, all you have to do is search online for the nearest post office. I guarantee you that they have stamps.

Searching for a post office is even more complicated than it needs to be. You can buy stamps at Walmart at any checkout lane in the same transaction as you get your four lokos or whatever the young adults are buying these days.

Okay, wow. I didn’t know that. I’ll have to look into it then. The only fan preservations I’ve seen are the Despecialized Editions.

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

this is 4K83’s trailer, if you haven’t seen it yet. it only utilizes footage from the project.

Yeah if the colors were a bit better (mainly just referring to that “decades-old-film” green/brown cast that I’m sure could be fixed) I’d say that looks Good enough for an official release, or at the very least good enough to make a completely seamless despecialized.

For whatever reason people are misunderstanding the Warb. It wasn’t just that a woman leads a show. He didn’t like that a sociopolitical agenda was, at least in part, deciding the future of the show. And to be sure such an agenda was partly behind the gender switch. He’s been thus far happy the show isn’t making a big deal about it. Although, not making a fuss about it easily falls into the category of feminist agenda. Also, the show has been dominated by sociopolitical agendas for awhile now, so it’s rather late to complain overmuch about it.

To answer Frank seriously, if a long-established show returned to the air with committed Christian showrunners and they announced the star character was going to convert to Christianity, I bet you many people would be offended by the pereceived Christian agenda.

There is still a difference between making the protagonist a devoted Christian and making them a person that appeals to Christians (i.e. having strong family values). Likewise, having a female lead is something that appeals to feminists, but that doesn’t mean the main character has to be overly feminist.

Sure, and Warb has recognized the distinction you draw. It was that recognition by him that led to the current discussion.

Constructing an apt and non-controversial analogy is nigh impossible, but there are choices Christian showrunners could make that would create consternation depending on the previous characterization of a protagonist. Having a Christian character is no guarantee the show will portray Christian values either.

I agree that a woman doctor is not the sine qua non of a feminist agenda and as I said the show has already displayed a feminist agenda.

are you warbs spokesperson?
