Confessions of a Chinchilla

Ranting about shit that you couldn't care less about.

Just. Like. That.

Now try and tell me women overreact and that we have nothing to be afraid of. There are people supporting what this guy did, he killed innocent people because women had rejected him, because he wasn’t popular, because he was a virgin at 22. People are making excuses for him and his actions, women are being told that murder is what they should expect when they reject unwanted sexual advances. I should not be afraid for my life because I say no.

I HATE TMZ AND YOU SHOULD TOO

God, this is depressing. Half of the court of public opinion are already calling Jane Doe a 'gold-digger' and saying that she 'deserved it', despite the fact that all she wants to do is know what happened from the time she blacked out to the time she found herself at the hospital, like that's a fucking crime. The other half fell for TMZ's borderline racist bullshit, and decided to stuff words down Jane Doe's mouth and call Kaepernick a rapist, even though Jane Doe herself has not claimed that she was sexually assaulted, or at least not yet. The fact of the matter is that neither Jane Doe nor the police has claimed that a sexual attack of any nature has happened. No. That was all TMZ. And they're fucking proud of their dog-whistling bullshit. YOU FELL FOR IT. Seriously, go read their second damn article about this. They're defending their bullshit assumptions. All Jane Doe wants is the truth. Look, it's 4/11/2014, and about 1 AM pacific time. A lot of things can change between now and the future. Something can reveal itself. If something didn't happen between her, Kaepernick, and the other two, then it didn't happen. If something did happen, then guess what? It happened. But don't let that piece of shit of a rag dictate the entire conversation. Don't give TMZ that much power.

In “Same Love” Macklemore does address the fact that he is not gay: in the first lines, in fact, Macklemore raps that when he was young he thought, wrongly, that he was. This is not Macklemore pretending to identify with a group of people that he does not belong to; rather, it’s a comment on the negative consequences that stereotypes of sexuality can have on people, particularly children, whether they are straight or gay. As for arrogance or radicalism, Macklemore never claimed to be an activist in “Same Love”; that is, unless pointing out the issues of inequality in American popular culture and politics is considered being an activist. Macklemore bravely paints a picture for a new world with less hate, just as artists like Marvin Gaye did in his classic “What’s Goin’ On?”

So what you're saying is that Macklemore is Kanji Tatsumi? It all makes sense now!

If you’re unemployed, it’s not because there isn’t any work.

Just look around: A housing shortage, crime, pollution; we need better schools and parks. Whatever our needs, they all require work. And as long as we have unsatisfied needs, there’s work to be done.

So ask yourself, what kind of world has work but no jobs? It’s a world where work is not related to satisfying our needs, a world where work is only related to satisfying the profit needs of business.

This country was not built by the huge corporations or government bureaucracies. It was built by people who work. And, it is working people who should control the work to be done. Yet, as long as employment is tied to somebody else’s profits, the work won’t get done.

Was expecting classist bullshit, got the exact opposite

This is so ubelievably important and I hate that I have to keep re-explaining it to people.

I'M A FUCKING FASHIONISTA

(image from: http://jbrvintagerevolution.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/hipsters.jpg?w=468&h=417)

.

When I was in the 7th Grade, about like under 20 years ago or, our school had 'Spirit Week', where our school's Basketball/Volleyball team competed against our rivals. (I'd give you details, but I still gotta remain anonymous.) Each day, there was a different theme, where the entire school didn't have to go in uniform, but they had to wear something that matches the theme. One of those days was 'Crazy Day', where you had to wear something that was... crazy. So you could go to school in a clown costume, or you could paint your face, or you could wear your underwear on your head, or whatever. Point was that you had to look 'crazy'.

.

On that day, I decided to wear a suit coat over a t-shirt and jeans. I did that so when school was over, I could just take the suit jacket out, and it looked like I was just a normal kid, and not some kind of clown, or wierdo or whatever. So I did that, and when I came to class, everyone was diggin' it. They were all like," Wow, you so crazy, Chinch!" or whatever. So yea, I was a hit on 'Crazy Day'. I guess it's because I was the only one in the school that thought of doing something like that.

.

LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT MUCH LATER, WEARING SHIT LIKE THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED FASHIONABLE. WHAT. THE. FUCK. HAPPENED? DID I CONTRIBUTE TO THAT? MY GOD. WHAT HAVE I DONE?

It’s funny, but I remember a lot of comics having positive social messages that meant a lot to me as a kid. 

Good on you, Superman.

[batgirlrising]

It’s almost as if the angry, gritty, Miller-and-Moore-ization of comics might be responsible for creating a culture of comic fans who are rude, possessive, misogynistic, and exclusionary where they weren’t before.

Funny, that.

EVERYBODY CALM THE FUCK DOWN

Facts:

-Dina Abou Karam is not in charge of the art direction

-Dina Abou Karam is not in charge of designing the game

-Dina Abou Karam is just the community manager. NOTHING MORE.

http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/19382/article/comcept-addresses-mighty-no-9-community-manager-outrage/

-This image of 'Beck' right here, you know, the one everyone's shitting their pants over:

That's just fanart. NOTHING MORE.

-There is no feminist agenda.

-Beck will make a guest appearance as a costume in the new Ninja Gaiden game:

(http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/12/mighty-9-makes-first-appearance-yaiba-ninja-gaiden-z/)

This proves that 'original Beck' is 'official Beck' and is still the Beck that they're going to use in the game. I mean, you can't get any more official than this.

I mean seriously, did you honestly think that Kenji Inafune going to hand this entire project to a new hire to do whatever she wants with it? I mean, really? You had enough faith to donate enough money to back this Kickstarter all the way, and for some reason, all that faith disappears as soon as someone with a 'V' walks within a ten foot radius near it.

And you know what? Fuck it. Let's talk about the gaming community and it's apparent hostility towards women. I mean the whole 'Dina Disaster' was based on assumptions and speculations, but hey, all this crap is now out in the open with the death threats and the whole 'us only' attitude. Good fucking job, gaming community. Fuck it. Call me a white knight, or a SJW if it makes you feel any better, but you can't take back all that flaming towards that one person. For fucks sake, Beck is a robot. Technically, Beck has no gender, unless someone decides to build a mecha-penis on him.

Seriously, there's just ugliness everywhere, and there shouldn't be. Mighty no. 9 is suppose to be a beautiful thing. It still is. It proves that if people love a franchise so bad, they can resurrect it if they put their minds to it. Please, don't destroy this beautiful thing.

Also, for everyone who are still hung up about the whole Beck's gender thingy, please tone it down a notch at least. Please. Because Kenji Inafune might snap and Beck might end up looking like this:

[chinchillaboom]

I for one welcome the new Beck design. (Image from http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20071230221913/en.futurama/images/5/5a/212.jpg)

By the legendary Street Fighter gamer, Daigo.

[Watch the Full Video here]

I’m not sure if this was a championship match, but this was definitely a high profile one at one of the most highly regarded fighting game tournaments (EVO).

If you don’t understand what you’re seeing here, Ken (played by Daigo) is in a best of three match, with a single victory already given to each. Chun Li (played by Justin) has a third of her health bar still intact. Meanwhile, Ken/Daigo has absolutely zero left in his health bar. That means even if he blocks, any connection from a super or special attack would mean defeat for him.

Ken/Daigo is under incredible pressure here.

Chun Li/Justin goes in for the kill and it looks like a done deal.

The only defense is to parry, which is to press forward on the joystick at every single connection during the Super Lightning Kick attack.

Ken/Daigo’s timing must be perfectly precise, or he’s done with. 

Not only does he pull it off, he has the awareness to immediately go into a counter attack with a super combo of his own, winning the match.

This is one of the greatest comebacks of all time in anything ever.

*shudder*

[chinchillaboom]

That's why they call Daigo 'The Beast'.
