He's as white as I hate Shenmue

And Shenmue ain't Sonic, sooo..

Shenmue killed the Dreamcast

well, Sega being Sega did that, but you know what I mean

Plus Lan-Di didn't do shit, don't believe that punkass Ryu or whatever his name is

This thread certainly became a thing, huh?

Do you hate Shenmue more or less than you hate Animal Crossing? I can't understand your point if you're not really clear.

More. I enjoyed AC at one point in my life, at least.

I'm getting WNBA ads now!

What have you done Alamo, a league of Women playing Basketball, preposterous!

Next thing you'll tell me there's World Series of Softball being shown live on a male dominated network such as ESPN... Oh Wait!

 

[A Link to the Past]

I'm a man who identifies as a woman, can I go?

If you're a man who identifies as a woman, you're just a woman

EDIT: Ofc you could be genderfluid, but I find that genderfluid people who are open about it tend to ensure that they're clear on it.

 

[BronsonLee]

The best thing Shenmue ever did was introduce graphic filters to people so that Photo Mode would have them like 12 years later

 

[Media]

I really don't think posts like this should get a pass. It's blatantly racist and hateful, and these words certainly wouldn't fly if they were said about literally any other demographic.

As you noted later, it did not get a pass. Most of the posts in this are not directed at the entire male gender, but at the MRS types that are turning this into some huge horrible thing.

I'm a woman who's been a nerd my entire life. Basically having to keep my head down to enjoy things that most people don't have to worry about enjoying is exhausting. This 'stunt' by Alamo acknowledges that. I would love to go to one, but I've never even see an Alamo, much less lived near one. Too bad.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Cool man. They earned a ladies' night. First female solo movie since, what? Electra? Catwoman?

I hope they enjoy themselves. And I don't even want to know why this thread is 1,200 posts long.

 

[The Driver]

The only reasonable answer to this is some variation of "that's cool" or "I wanna go". If you object to this there is some level of jerk in you that should require taking a hard look at oneself.

That this is 26 pages is insane. This is approaching 'Trump daily fuck up' levels of posts.

 

[Quixzlizx]

So did this thread spiral to 26 pages because troll alt-accounts were having fun riling people up, or because there were a bunch of "Ladies' Night is racist against men!" posts?

Honestly, this is a great thread for weeding out the undesirables. A little spring cleaning, you might say.

Seems like a weird thing to do, but more power to them. I would say however, they are just asking for blowback by making a big deal over it. So when I see it, I'm just like.. whatevs. Those people are wasting their time complaining to Alamo and Alamo knew they'd rile people up so its all kind of whatevs.

The snarky Alamo responses are really cringe-worthy though.

All they did was announce the event.

It was offended men who made it a big deal.

Out of this world that anyone would suggest such a thing, but yeah..crriiinng. That's what the kids say now, right?

 

[mcrommert]

It challenges this shit:

It lets women have a time they can go and not have to suffer through the garbage nerd culture tends to throw at them.

When do I get my own showing so I don't have to suffer through nerd culture anymore

 

[KernelPanic]

Reminds me of a women's only FB gaming group my wife belongs to where'd you would have "men" pretend to be women to get in only to troll and hurl insults at the members.

Something wrong with a segment of the male population.

Ignore opening weekends, and hit up a matinee showing.

The internet has become a place where rejected men take no personal accountability for either being complete fucking dicks to women or something else, and instead jerk each other off on how much the system is keeping them down. Self reflection is a dead art for these people as there will always be someone online to encourage them to be even worse.

 

[XAL]

Remember, Wonder Woman was a character created for Women. Let's not forget her history. This is a good thing.

And for people who have a thing for ropes and being tied up.

[Admiral Woofington]

Does wonder woman even still use the lasso of truth for its intended magical purpose? Seems like it'd more useful as an actual fucking rope than to get a man to confess he stole money for the bank because his daddy didn't love him

Meh, fun idea. Sucks people have to go out of their way to get offended by stupid shit like this.

How do you feel about all the proceeds from these showings going to Planned Parenthood?

Indifferent? It's advertising. Philanthropy is marketing.

The fact that the Alamo is willing to piss off some manbabies is encouraging. It means companies and marketers don't have to listen to them when it comes to appealing to women. It's proof that they don't have to be afraid to market more towards women. And if you think a company like the Alamo doesn't care about it's audience you must not know the Alamo's reputation. In fact I don't buy the whole "corporations are out to control you man" cuz all your doing is downplaying this. Companies are finally realizing women have money. Also, all of this is going towards Planned Parenthood.

They're pissing off a small number of idiots. That doesn't mean what they're doing isn't a self serving PR stunt. I don't care that they do it; I'd never go see this trash in the cinema and it doesn't affect any man with a brain negatively. I care about the "yeah you show em, guys!" mindset as if targeted advertising and PR stunts are some incredible thing. They're trying to improve their brand. That's it. That's why they're intentionly responding to antagonistic people; to go viral. It's not a profound statement, it's a stunt.

Alamo's always made a point of pushing back against idiots, it's nothing new.

Which is part of why they have a cool brand perception.

They're empty gestures. It's about money. They don't lose a thing irritating some insecure men online.

Why can't it be both that they like money and being good?

 

[Camper Van Beethoven]

Because this isn't "good". It's a stunt. it's not good nor bad. They could just donate any profits from a screening to charity without a gimmick or an announcement.

 

[IrishNinja]

no1curr what beefy likes

What on earth are you talking about? All of this smug, elitist snark is a very ugly look.

What happened to "civil, inclusive discourse"? It's neither civil nor inclusive to make sweepingly negative statements about an entire demographic (in this case, straight white males), and then make fun of people who call it out for being hateful and racist. The hypocrisy is astounding.

i'm talking about the persecution complex of a majority member in a thread about people losing their shit because women see a movie without them, devoid of irony.

what that person said was a bit scathing, but no, i don't put minority groups on some dumb faux-consistent scale for every social interaction on some #alllives nonsense either. if that's smug elitist snark, it's a better look than what you're crying about here.

Irish isn't white? I thought he was just having a laugh..

my melanin level falls between translucent and daywalker

He wouldn't even meet me at the old Snappers off US-1 next to the flea market..look at me stereotyping.

i'm down for a drink, but by that flea market? i knows a setup when i smells one

Praytell how much have you donated to Planned Parenthood out of the goodness of your heart?
