NS Cliches II: Re-Rebooted

[Gonswanza]

Speaking of bait, blatantly offensive nations that are clearly trolling bait and are very obviously meant to shock people OOC

Oh yea like that one thread where they had a robot that infringes on women's rights by making them shut the fuck up... And directing them to the kitchen.

Because, apparently, they are useless despite being prized in civilization long before the industrial age and technically are still regarded as being equal to the opposite sex in the modern day.*

*With exception to a select few places, like Iraq, Iran... Saudi Arabia...

I mean, it does sound funny, though I am gonna assume it was written without a shred of self-awareness nessecary to not make it awkward and come with a lot of secondhand embarassment.

It was funny until the leader/presenter declared it was the norm and started hammering the point home to the point of actual seriousness, the nation isn't helping either given that is LITERALLY by law. So at first it seemed like a joke, then the further you read the less hope you have it's a joke, because clearly, it isn't.

Whether or not the user truly believes in it, it's hard to say, given it's written so well that they'd may as well embrace it OOCly.

[Diaboland]

If the robot thing is OOC that's cringe. If not, (as a woman), I find this hilarious

[Frisemark]

(Very slightly) related to the above: people making gulag and other totally not played out jokes in F7 threads in response to users who's nations are left-wing or appear to be left-wing.

It's honestly hilarious whenever I post in F7 threads with my puppet of -Terrapacis- and people reply as if Terrapacis is some single-party socialist dictatorship, even though the flag is literally the bisected red and black flag associated with anarchist movements and libertarian socialism???

And as as we all know, supporting authoritarianism and dictatorship is famously a key part of anarchism and libertarian socialist ideologies.

I find it quite sad it was that easy to predict.

Tbh I thought that is because a lot of people are quite ignorant about anarchism, especially if they are apathetic towards politics (yeah, the irony while running a nation there).
I'm quite ignorant about anarchism myself and well, may have thought a flag related to its movement as one of the socialist movements

[Dayganistan]

I've had people assume my nation is some sort of Sharia hellscape or that it's Arab. People on NS really do just look at the flag and think that says everything. Never mind that most IRL nations that use the star and crescent on their flags are, legally at least, secular.

Same with me, but add a Turkish nation to that list

I mean anarchism is on the political left so I mean you're not exactly wrong there.

'Anarcho'-capitalists aren't anarchists and they literally hijacked the term from the left. Hilariously I've seen ancaps accusing actual anarchists of being the ones who've stolen the term from them lmaoooo.

The more common cliche is "communism when gulag".

[Western Fardelshufflestein]

Tbh I've seen people complain about the mods being tyrannical way more than the other, especially regarding the other forum.

If you mean NSG, then that is largely because certain folks operate under the mistaken impression that ‘freedom of speech’ means they can spit whatever vitriol they like without repercussions, and then gripe when repercussions happen.

That bit’s funny to watch when it happens.

It honestly is in a morbid way.

Don't forget the "environmental problems when capitalism" on the flip side, or--on the flip flip side--"Communism bad. QED."

[Valentine Z]

Just ignore the bait and move on.

Like... Why do people have a strange desire to wank the physical prowess and abilities of their leaders? Okay, I get it, he can eat a Boeing 747, cool. But how is that even remotely important, exactly?

Valkyrie Valentijn CAN beat a Boeing. Just give her a bit of time, and indigestion tablets.

[Isla Ventai]

Wars honestly should be decided by how quickly a leader can eat a baeing 747

[Transsibiria]

Many nations have rather young leaders despite they are not dynastic empires where the likehood of young leaders would be higher than not.

[Gandoor]

I maintain it's entirely because a lot of people on this hellsite are young and therefore want their leader to be around the same age group as they are.

Meanwhile I'm 26 and the youngest leader Gandoor has had is the current Prime Minister who was 41 years old when she become PM in universe.

[Drongonia]

Yeah I notice that, especially young female leaders. There's nothing particularly wrong with it but it's not that original.

"On the left-side corner, we have Lord Smeggston von Poopenfarten the Sixty-Ninth of the Greater Amogus Reich; on the right, we have Ms. Maryskaya de la Wolfensmith, "Glorious Chairleader" of the LDP of Fallguytopia! Both of these nations are currently at war, but no side shall win without their leaders competing against each other on the most dangerous test of them all: Who Shall Eat The Plane First? I'm your host, Nationstateforums, and welcome to the show!"

Someone make an F7 thread "Which of the two previous leaders can eat a Boeing 747?"

Well how much of a timeframe do we have for it? If a man can eat Cessna 150 in 2 years we might need a bit more for the Boeing. Maybe a decade. But then again I'm not sure that the man ate the Cessna for breakfast, lunch, and dinner so our leaders might be able to pick up the pace a bit.

[Malaiya Union]

TBF a better cliche would be that given young leaders are not that likely IRL, the NS leaders inevitably get a bunch of boosts like a 160 IQ or a 6/6/6 power capacity, simply so that it'll be more realistic for them to hold power at such an age.

Speaking of young leaders, they're surprisingly not that unlikely in unstable nations where coup happens often, as coup leaders are often field troop commanders. Example: Gaddafi.

What if one of the leaders of the nations above was a Lovecraftian deity? He would easily win.
