Hi. ^^
Not directed at anyone in particular since I haven't followed the conversation but I'd like to say disagree with the notion (maybe, that's not what's being said I'm just misunderstanding here) that mlp was a ever a bad show. It wasn't the greatest show ever sure, and some bronies definitely tried to make it about supposedly mature concepts as death and famine and whatnot. But that's just it. My peers at the time thought they were mature cause they watched game of thrones. What is most mature, a show about sex, death, and cynicism towards humanity(maybe I'm being a bit unfair. I watched it forever ago. Feel free to call me out); or an optimistic show about the most purest form of love their is: friendship and how to solve interpersonal problems between nuanced but good people without making either of the parties into villains.
Also, what anyone of you actually will discover if you watch these shows you liked in the past but you think probably were trash and you're just being nostalgic will surprise you. I know because I have experienced this myself. "Eh, bleach, mlp, and naruto probably aren't all that good", but then you watch them and you realize they are better than you gave them credit for.
imo.

Jordan Peterson seeks to reach out to young white men hurt by this system and distract them with useless ideas.
"Evil collectivists hurt you because collectivism is evil, respond as a powerless atomized individual and ignore everything going on and improve yourself until the system millions of times larger than you cannot hurt you".
That is a losing strategy, of course.
Peterson is a jew-lover, a puppet of the system, he exists to make white men feel comfortable and powerful and inspired to "fight back" by not fighting anyone.
To write off collectived and groups as "collectivism no different from what the enemy does" is retarded because Peterson uses white culture to make people accept retarded ideas as true. You can fight the dragon and impress him, someone who wants to seem like a father figure, you can kill the dragon and overcome your hoarding problem and be a hero, just do nothing to the feminists and jews and niggers.
Peterson is fake and gay controlled opposition.
Just like Qanon, Project Trust for a new generation. Or was it Operation Trust? That thing where the USSR told those opposed to communism "the based tzar-loving conservative russian patriots in the government are going to kill the communists and take over any day now! Do nothing, the commies want you to act and get arrested! Sit at home and wait for the signal to act!" until suddenly communists had arrested so many impotent toothless worthless cuckservative cowards who didn't love freedom enough, they became outnumbered by the commies, who could be as cruel and bold as they wanted to be.
There will always be faggots in position of power telling young men to give up, go their own way, give up on your fantasy of killing niggers and jews and forcefully fixing women with pills and electroshock therapy and breeding camps and lobotomies. I don't care if women were never treated that way throughout history by white men, white women of today deserve this so their offspring can be raised right by white men.
There will always be faggots in positions of power trying to subvert what is good.
But self improvement is good.
You feel better, you feel sexier, you feel more complete.
I don't care that I can't bag a bitch who feels entitled to a six figure six foot billionaire jew or a nigger thug she can "change"(fetishize and enable) without tying her up and pouring a bucket of their blood over her so her animal instincts recognize me as superior to them.
I am still proud of the work I put into working out.
It is good to work out.
It is good to own weapons and train with them.
To write off self improvement as "a jew lie" is fucking retarded and Hitler would be ashamed of that kind of pussy talk.

Have you figured out yet why everyone you interact with online seems to end up hating your guts eventually? Or are you still blaming it on the great Discord conspiracy?

>reddit spacing
For the thousandth time, there is no such thing as “Reddit spacing.” Anyone who uses this term is a moron.
Allow me to introduce you to a very simple formatting concept called paragraphs. Paragraphs are blocks of text, each of which is designed to address a single point or concept. You organize your text into paragraphs to make it easier to read.
In print, you designate a new paragraph by indenting the first line. Online, you double-space between paragraphs. Like so:
This is a paragraph.
This is a different paragraph.
It is an extremely simple concept that anyone who has made it to fourth grade should already understand. There is no such thing as Reddit spacing, and if anyone ever throws this term at you they should be ignored.
>wall of text
A wall of text is a disparaging term for any online post that is longer than it has any need to be. Bad formatting does not make a post into a wall of text, it just makes a wall of text even more difficult to read. This in turn tends to make an already-obnoxious poster come across as even more obnoxious. Since most of your posts tend to be essay-length, profanity-laced rants about unrelated subjects, you are frequently accused of writing walls of text even when you format your posts correctly. Hence your frustration.
>mention Peterson and self improvement because someone said self improvement is bad
>"off topic"
There are only seven instances of “Peterson” in this entire thread, six of which appear in posts made by you. Carlos mentioned him offhandedly in one post made several days ago. This hardly merits an entire wall of text on the subject, and in any event you weren’t even replying to Carlos’s post. You just saw the name Jordan Peterson posted somewhere in the thread, and took that as an invitation to wordvomit your unfiltered thoughts on him. Probably 90% of the posts you have ever made to this site follow this same format, which is why we keep having this same conversation over and over.
> I still don't respect the small handful of fags in your tranny discord circlejerk.
The only thing I or anyone else has ever asked you to do on this site is to please stop splattering it with endless verbal diarrhea that is maybe 5-10% on-topic content and 90-95% your unsolicited opinions on shit nobody is asking about or cares about. Your continued refusal to adhere to this very simple, very reasonable request is the reason you keep getting shit on every time you post, not some phantom Discord conspiracy that exists only in your imagination.
The topic of this thread is “should /ub/ be changed to /fitlit/,” not “what are Nigel’s private opinions about Jordan Peterson and masturbation and the early MLP seasons and Avatar the Last fudge-packing Airbender.” If you have something to contribute to the conversation at hand, and can express it in a few short, human-readable sentences without meandering off subject, then by all means feel free to contribute. If all you want to do is palm-mash your unfiltered thoughts on a handful of niche topics you happen to be interested in, making only a token effort to connect any of your rants to the topic at hand, then please do it somewhere else.
We have had this conversation numerous times. Experience has taught me that I shouldn’t expect any of what I’m saying to get through to you, and yet, like Charlie Brown charging at that stupid football, I feel inclined to keep trying and trying.

I see we're at the reasoning stage
So, I just got finished rewatching the Loki series.
Sidenote: if you're willing to sit through it AND overlook a few gaping plotholes (and probably the worst Tara Strong cringe evar) the payoff is one of the best character-arhetype reformation stories in cinema.
I mention this, cuz I'm gonna try something different. At least, I THINK it's different.
Odds are, more than half the posters ITT can identify by some name/handle/screen name more then half the posters ITT. It doesn't matter anymore if we play the "we're all anonymous" game, or if we play the "you're (you), he's him" game.
Is he gonna change? Are you? Am I? CAN we?
Yes. Its gonna be slow, it is going to take time an effort. And in ways, we are gonna have to help one another; maybe even those we have decided aren't worth our piss if they were on fire. I dont even know where I'm going with it. I guess I'm saying /fitlit/ is a small change, so why not start there? If the threads get wiped, more room to do it better next time. We have the benefit of years of experience this time.

One of those "tranny discords" you refuse to see past is Mlpol staff chat, who have collectively shown more patience an consideration for (you) in particular than one dedicated individual ever could.

Well, I guess I'm also responsible for derailing the thread. Sorry about that. I'll cut it off here and probably make a separate thread if I have more to say.

Bring back /fitlit/.
Bring back /fitlit/.
So what happened with this? The record shows one particular poster was very on about this.
Unless this whole thread WAS a lame-duck attempt to try and distract from "whoever" was gettig btfo in discussion, leading to the (ahem) sage-bombing thing
(its in the narcissism thread if youre both curious and masochistic)
