Petition to remove the bible from target - origin

Pretty much hear stuff like this from my subscriptions on youtube. It is quite funny seeing how people will overreact to everything that is out of there comfort zone.

this video needs some fucking promotion, maybe then they'll stfu about stupid shit, not just video games, but also shut up the idiots in this 3rd wave of bullshit (feminism)

As a side note, it would probably be a good idea to order lot of popcorn for when the shitstorm really starts. Nothing beats popcorn flavoured with the tears of hypocrites, except for a lot of stuff since tears make the popcorn soggy.

Except this is obviously a parody petition. Like the one to remove Super Mario Bros from shelves. There will be no response to the bible one, because nobody cares enough about your little fit. There was a response to GTA, because Target doesn't want people to start caring.

This is a non-story. Like that football player that won't talk to the press and is getting fined for it.

stfu you dumb piece of shit

It's a legitimate phenomenon. News agencies sensationalize things like this when there is nothing comfortable to comment on. The truth is, clicktivism means nothing unless it effects an issue the party in question is already anticipating getting flack about.


Because Target fears a war on women narrative, it pulled the game.
Because Target does not fear fundamentalist atheists, nothing will happen.

(Nothing happening is a non-story)

You can't say for certain that nothing will happen. What makes you think women won't get on this, and threaten a war on women narrative?
Also, considering one actually promotes the ideals that gta was falsely banned for, they would have to follow through with it. Otherwise they are being hypocrites

That would be a valid line, but you are assuming that the store cares about being hypocritical. GTA is a fundamentally different product from The Bible because of the cultural baggage it carries, therefore the result of these comparable petitions will differ on a fundamental level.

And, Freaky, the counter petition is an idea, but I think that the reasoning it claims are too....logical fallacy--ey.
Identifying feminists as the cause, rather than the idea that art has to serve society rather than challenge it, amounts to a scapegoating tactic that will invalidate the entire effort. If they wanted to keep the game on shelves, they should use arguments based on precedent and profit. Simply screaming that the wimmunz are coming for your gemmz sounds childish and reinforces the misogynistic stereotype people are trying to link the game to.

Think of it like when a Black person calls a white co-worker on a race tinged assumption, and the white man goes full retard---trying to find instances of "reverse racism"---instead of acknowledging the misunderstanding and straightening out the conflict between perception and fact.

You're too emotional, nigga.

Plus he's right. The bible petition was an over reaction that probably won't get taken seriously.

Well shit. You're right

This reminds me that some Women where criticizing Assasians Creed Unity for not having Female Models. (it was to save money apparently) So basically the only games that they will let us have is with Female Leads killing Male characters.

I was agreeing with you till here.(well not really, I don't think art needs any purpose though)

So if a black person acts unprofessional by making racist assumptions(none of the reverse garbage here), it's up to the white co-worker to be level headed and straighten out the conflict.

That's kinda racist and condescending.

over reaction my ass.

sorry cruz but if they don't do it or at the very least put GTA5 back on the shelves, I don't think it'll end well for them.

Would you rather have me call it a petty bitch fit? Because that one works too.
Nothing will come out of it, target and the general public will just think "gamers" are nothing but reactionaries.

Do tell though, why won't it end well for them?

well first thing comes to mind is loss of sales. I don't think people come in droves to buy copies of the bible. We'll just have to see what happens I guess.

GTA 6, you play a futanari.

Not really convincing me that their base of operations are dependent on 2 rated M games. Even their video game section could easily eat the cost.

Actually, no. With GTA5 not being sold, and all the ruckus they made, they get free publicity. I agree, it is a bad one. But Target doesn't only sell games. They sell loads of other things.

What do they get for being in the lips of a nation? (exaggeration, but I cant think of any other phrase)

More recognition, and they get it for free!

It might be a stumble, but they won't fall from this.

That, and it likely wasn't serious-- it looked like a parody of someone petitioning to remove GTAV.
