B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

Yeah but even in that song he admits that there's a God above even him.

[Sombrero]

And that god is Yog Sothoth. Praise be! Accept the inevitable destruction of your eternal being as the Outer Ones play their final notes, everyone! Godspeed to all!

That's a relief. Now, if the media could just stop misinforming the people....

@Mardox

We're talking about a business outlet here in a world of congestive, competitive information access. The more click-bait you get the more hits you get which drives up site-side ad revenue which ups the bottom line, meaning more capital for the network or provider to cover basic costs and to fund additional adventures down the road to hopefully expand or improve their overall presence in an over-crowded field.

If you want to change the way any media handles anything you need a total system overhaul or else news coverage no longer becomes a viable business and I can't predict what'd happen when it all shuts down when you try to force and enforce some sort of choke on "extreme" or unwarranted content. At best in the states the federal government would probably get attacked for denying the constitutional right of free press.

The internet indirectly encourages everyone to report their opinions and news more openly by providing open resources like free blogging sites and YouTube. You're no longer strictly constrained to the costs of maintaining and operating a radio broadcast station, a news paper printer, or a television station (and in two of these three circumstances having to buy the rights to broadcast at a desired frequency) which means more can do it. And with more doing it the market becomes crowded so either you get yourself into a niche field to survive or you belt out extreme horse-shit to be heard over everyone else. But while this is true as consumers of media we have more democratic power to pick and choose. We're not locked by cable providers to having to pick between ABC, CNBC, and Fox any longer; we can go online and read/watch CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, Der Spiegal, and Anita Sarkesian's blog. It's also of course how the later manage to survive, but it's to be expected.

Actively seeking out some form of censorship or another a good solution does not make as you're seeming to imply, and by doing so you're not advocating anything better than the so-called SJW bogyman you or anyone else is afraid of. And as Vilage has said these groups are restrained to pretty small groups themselves. The popular front of society is more apt to feel accomplished at the achievement of the minimum-goal than the whole thing.

Somedays I wish I drove a tow truck for that express purpose.

It's a nightmare parking at school, and there's six lots in orbit around the central campus and all of them have fuckers that park so far over I can't park my own car, or they're literally filling two spots.

There was a Cervantes (Soul Calibur), Super Saiyan Goku (Dragonball Z), and a Cloud Strife (Advent Children) all dance battling! Shit was hype, and I remember screaming at the top of my lungs.

Anyway, to the subject at hand,

Now that I think of it, I should have kissed her. This one young lady. She wasn't noticeably gorgeous, but maybe it's because she wearing a kigurumi outfit, so I'm sure it didn't do her justice. However, her bronze skin, dark hair, and warm smile made me melt. So amused by her appearance that I had to stop dancing in my drunken stupor and tilt my head curiously until she matched my gaze. I wonder if she knew right then if I was actually a young man crossplaying Chiaki from Dangan Ronpa. It was rather dark, as most dance club settings were, but I invited her into my personal space by offering my hands. She took them happily, and I dared not to disappoint. Almost immediately I pointed up to the ceiling, at a holographic image with the words that I mouthed to her in order to keep up the charade. "Last Call" I said to her silently as the beat dropped. Holding hands we jumped up and down and danced. There was no tango or foxtrot, but we both demonstrated some knowledge of how to move our bodies to the beat. I know it's much easier to do after drinking, and I was so glad to have a partner. The song ended and so did the time at the club. We embraced.

"Thank you," I said to her, ignoring the fact that my damaged masculine bass was caused by screaming before I met her. "That was a lot of fun."

Her eyes widened, seemingly at the revelation of my true gender, and hopefully not because I sounded like a varsity cheerleader after homecoming. An amused smile curved upon her glossy lips. "What's your name?" she asked.

I admit, there were several aliases that I thought of. Should I give her my FB page name? My nickname? My current cosplay character's name? Hell, even my Roleplayerguild username? You know you're a roleplayer when you refuse to give your actual birth name. So, I showed her my convention badge which said "Neo." I leaned in forward, trying not to strain my voice. For a brief moment, I thought I saw her eyes close a little, something I'm use to seeing just when I am about to make out with another woman. "Watch RWBY?" She laughed and nodded. I was such a cuck.

"I'll see you tomorrow then?" If eyes were truly the window to one's soul, I think I saw hope flicker in them. The kind of hope that, at least in my mind, would mean that her weekend was going to get better.

"Sure," I winked. And we parted ways to reunite with our friends.

It was the last I saw of her.

Stupid me, I'm the one who should be making others daydream about those nights!

CON REGRETS.

Just storing this away here. It's not the funniest of rants, unless you count how petty a concern it is.

Goddammit. I just learned that my 4th or 5th favorite song from the 70s has been revived like twice, and both revivals have been completely piss-poor.

I mean, the first re-doage was kind of alright, it certainly had potential, but the music at parts overpowered the vocals so bad that it left me less feeling like I was listening to a great song and more strugglig to hear what the fuck he was saying. they didn't seem to have any sense of timing about it, like maybe this loud noise would drown out some of the music if we put it at the same fucking volume as his voice. Turns out, I wouldn't have wanted to listen anyway because they changed the lyrics into some over-encouraging disney bullshit. I mean, sure the first version probably isn't very overwhelmingly "PC" by today's standards, since stereotypes are mentioned, but they were at least attempting to tell a goddamn story. A story about Kung Fu movies, kind of like the one this song was invoked and rebooted for... Here, no attempt was made to tell a story, presumably because they already had one, and thus they decided it should be all about how you're a special snowflake and you should do your goddamn homework. Buuuuulllllll-shit. They should've at least retold the story in the panda movie instead. Not everyone wants to listen to your disgusting Disney-fied cocksnot. Still, though, if it had one thing going for it, it was Cee Lo Green and Jack Black singing the same song.

The third rehash, though?... Ungodly! An abomination! Everything that was wrong with the first rewrite and then some. If you put it on a cd and slid it across your lawn, the grass would die underneath it. It would also turn invisible, because I doubt even visible light itself would want to be associated with that trash. They just hired a discount Skrillex to make the background beeps and honks and then made a discount 1D sing the words, even more disgustingly saccharine than the last fucking time, but this time it's worse because you can feel the eldritch ooze of 50-year-old boardroom members struggling to make the association 'hip' and 'relevant'. God, I feel hurl-ey!

It... It just seems like this should be more of an outrage than it probably is.

@Sombrero

I never heard either of the remakes until now.

...Yeah, neither does justice to the original. The first remake is a little disappointing, but the second remake is just downright upsetting and has now hurt a part of me I didn't know could be hurt. Why did you do this? Why did you link this?

On a related note: how about them song, video game, and movie remakes / rebirths in general? It's nice when someone loves the classics, but are we trying to BE the classics too much in our culture nowadays? (And missing the mark?)
