Which is pretty much your entire opinion and argument.

Good call.

So far nothing but attacks coming from that private account. Something smells like what comes out of the south end of a north bound bull.

Nothing from people like you holds any weight. You can't debate me. You can't refute me. No facts. No logic. Only false accusations and implications.

You didn't respond to my post #559.

Sometimes an argument is so stupid and so braindead that responding to it in any way is to demean oneself. Your whole post about white male bands is one of these kinds of arguments. It's a Billy Madison moment.

I don't respond to your posts because you are an obvious troll. You don't do anything but insult and spam nonsense.

Feel free to prove me wrong on the white male band thing. Post 50 of them that are making music today. (Not touring. Actually making new music, and getting radio play.) Oh, wait. You can't. Which is why you make snarky remarks. Because you have nothing else.

1. The Kotaku article is not reviewing the show, but rather investigating the negative online reaction to the show.

2. The writer is writing about the negative reaction, and the negative reactionary youtubers and tweets are indeed using the terms, woke, etc... as perjoratives. That's factual.

3. The faux-outrage clickbait youtube economy is a real thing. Making mention that the economy exists, isn't tantamount to calling everyone that dislikes something a grifter.

4. "Woke, SJW" those are virtue signaling terms used by the alt-right or conservative people. The label itself is a political statement about a group, and hence part of the terminology of a certain political agenda.

5. Given that you count the youtubers as part of the 'most viewers' category, you can throw out your original statement because the youtubers/twitterers are not basing their review on the show's merit but are using politically laden terminology to push an agenda about the show. That agenda? That the RoP is not part of 'their' cultural values, and therefore 'bad' which is a meritless review of the show based on preconceived political values.

You completely misconstrued everything I said. Then you argued against a strawman. It doesn't seem like you are capable of being honest.

Your posts are clearly made just to rile people up. You smear me. You act like a child. Then want me to debate you?

Come on my friend, seems like all you do is troll people. I agree sometimes an argument is pretty stupid, like the one who thinks turning fair-skinned elves who have always been fair-skinned non-human race into using non-white actors whose skin isn't fair is a bad one.

It's like deciding that the Incredible Hulk would look best as the color purple...and then getting upset at the fan base when they don't instantly take to Purple Hulk.

1. Well, I know you didn't respond because I won the argument.

2. You call me a troll as if everybody here, posting on this thread, isn't? Come on now, I know you cannot admit you lost the argument against me, doing that would go against your narrative, so you decide to call me a troll. That's certainly a common strategy.

3. Making a claim about white male bands doesn't mean you are correct in that claim. You can post anything you want here, and just because you can type it and click the 'Post Comment' button doesn't make your comment true.

And a comment doesn't need to be 'proven false' to be false. A comment isn't true by default. The onus is on you to prove your own comment.

The Hulk was originally grey, why not make him grey in the films? There's also a Red Hulk. But, I don't think Hulk was ever purple.

I think that we've all gone way beyond trolling in this thread.
