Lots of hate from the simp generation.


Sorry, boys and girls and LGBTQWXYZ123 generation, but at one point in time men were men. They said what was on their mind, and didn't care about hurting your feelings when a job needed to be done. Now, I'm not hating on your generation. I'm just letting you know that with your attitudes that you wouldn't have lasted two days outside of this time period.

reply

Truth! Somebody's going to whine about your insensitivity though, lolz.

reply

I don't care. I never thought that the people of my generation (X) would be herculean compared to the modern generation of wimps, whiners, do nothings, and cancelers! In any other generation (with the exception of this one) these little pricks would have had the crap kicked out of them on a daily basis for being the spinless pussies that they are.

reply

They probably also hate strong, capable female characters who are genuine and plausibly characterized, as opposed to the laughably artificial Mary Sues they've grown up with.

reply

All the people of my generation (not sure, I think X) are cancelers. Growing up, everybody will find out everybody else's plans and do the better option regardless of any pesky promises.

Having a liberal arts degree does NOT make someone a 'do nothing'.

reply

True. It makes them a 'know nothing.'

reply

In the immortal words of my father-in-law: "Liberal Arts folks don't know enough about anything to get a job, but they know just enough about everything to annoy the hell out of you."

reply

So what is your point exactly in respect of the movie?

reply

Absolutely no point. No one hates on this movie.

reply

Two days??? Hey man i dont wanna rain on your parade but they wouldnt last two hours.....

reply

If Aliens takes place in the future do you think that means society would come to it's senses? Or would such a trajectory no longer be possible? (One where humans would be capable of defeating the aliens)

reply

Yeah and in the future they'll love retro tech!

reply

The timeline has definitely been changed. Now the marines ask the aliens their pronouns before shooting them and of course the aliens kill them in the middle of the question.

Hard times create strong men
Strong men create easy times
Easy times create soft men

Today it would be deemed racist to shoot xenomorphs. And you would be a rayciss xenomorphphobe if didnt want one living next door.

The LGBTQ community is the most courageous, thoughtful and giving community in the whole world. And if you disagree, I will get you fired from your job.

Is there really
"Lots of hate from the simp generation."
I didnt hear about it
you didnt provide any links

Is this just something you made up in your head everyone can get all upset and mad about it?
Despite being the ones who dont get offended

reply

You obviously don't read many of the posts on the movie chat page for this movie.

reply

oh you mean that post from 2 years ago where :
" A spokesperson from Sky said the film contains the disclaimer because it features a non-Hispanic actress playing the role of an Hispanic character."

I dont really count Sky "playing it safe", in the wake of the Flloyd furere and putting that disclaimer on , as quite the generational uprising and outrage you interpreted it as.

Like I said theres far more "stright talking no nonsense manly mans who tell it like it is and dont take offence" getting offended about that disclaimer , than people who are offended about "non-Hispanic actress " , which is probably zero

reply

I was indeed talking about that, but there are other posts on this board by the simp generation about how they do no like the tone of this movie because it's overly militaristic, and such. And I did not get overly sensitive about the disclaimer that this movie received. I simply stated that with their attitudes and self righteous behavior that they would not have lasted a few minutes in 1988 without getting their assess handed to them. That's the way it was in a lot of places back then. If you grew up somewhere where it was okay to complain about every little thing that you didn't like then good for you, but it wasn't like that in most places.

What's really funny is that the second person who replied to this thread said that someone (like you) would come out of the wood work, and call me insensitive for pointing out the truth. Well, here you are. So, I can't say that it's been nice chatting with you. I'm sure you'll keep this going though. You know, you gotta get the last word in no matter what. It's what people of your ilk do...

reply

does anybody really hate this movie ?!
i thought it was well liked by everyone

reply

Everyone loves this movie.

reply

A brain that's capable of rational thought would believe that to be so, but there are rumblings on this board here, and there about it's overly militaristic tone being a turn off, and of course there's that disclaimer that's been slapped onto it about how it's not politically correct due to a non-Hispanic actress portraying a Hispanic woman. Gotta love this new more refined and tolerant generation. You know, the ones who cancel you if you don't think exactly how they think. I'm so glad they are here to enlighten us with their sage-like wisdom.

reply

It was, and is well-liked by everyone. This is a trash topic.

reply

Are they even going to survive this time period?
