The alphabet will be too woke for those retarded fucks. God I thought that I cannot hate them anymore than I do, yet it continues.

They are snowflake
I’m offended that
- the new version is released in Europe, only, and Amazon doesn’t have it in the US store
- Hasbro web site won’t let me shop unless I tell them my birthday
the new version is released in Europe
Europeans will appreciate it far more. Americans, in general, don't understand why cooperative board games are so much better than competitive. It was such a revelation when I tried my first (and still favorite) cooperative game- Scotland Yard. Admittedly, competition is still a small part of the game, but the idea that you could play a board game and the point wasn't to destroy everyone else? I didn't even realize it was a concept.
Interestingly while Hasbro owns the rights to sell scrabble in the US, Mattel owns the rights for the rest of the world. Which is why this version is not available here.
So done with right wingers hating on anything slightly different than the norm.
What’s the “norm” they’re comparing against? Conservatives even hated other white people in earlier parts of US history.
They hate lots of other white people right now, tyvm.
I'm confused. Isn't the base rule of the game "if it's in the dictionary then it's allowed, and if it's not in the dictionary then it isn't"?
How is the game woke?
I posted this elsewhere in the thread. Apparently the N-word was only banned from tournament play four years ago. I shit you not. So I guess that's what they're mad about.
Not that I like that word but the only rules we run by is literally if it's in the dictionary "Websters" then it's allowed. But it's interesting that the tournament has banned it, but not surprising.
There is an official Scrabble dictionary that tournaments go with. They can put in and take out whatever they want. They could have taken it out a long time ago.
dickti... discu... disjona... wordbook woke.
I know I should be getting the joke on this one but sadly I'm missing it.
They're mimicking someone who's trying to say the word dictionary but ironically lacks the diction to articulate it and instead says 'wordbook'
It is humorous because of the implication that extreme right wingers ala Fox news and it's viewers are illiterate hillbillies. They're not. They're just insane.
Some, I assume, are good people.
Those ones are among the worst category. Needlessly deluded by bad actors acting badly, to the extent there's nothing we can do to change it.
They have to choose to notice they're being lied to.
You can still be an illiterate hillbilly AND be insane.
Yup that should have been obvious to me. Thank you
Basically the old Porky Pig cartoon character
The right wight is outraged about something the left wing does. Then the left is outraged about the right's outrage and next Fox News is going to report on the left's outrage about their outrage and that pretty much sums up today's politics reporting. Recreational outrage all the way down. At this point we're just knowingly killing braincells by paying attention to any of this.
There is that idea that it is just selfish memes utilizing us as a resource. It isn't prey and predators it is more like lichen.
I say X and no one says ~X. It's gone, no more X. If X and ~X are constantly at each other it thrives.
Then the left is outraged about the right’s outrage
Can you point out who on the left is outraged over Fox throwing a fit about 'woke Scrabble?'
"Both sides!!!!!"
You got downvoted, but you're right. That's essentially what he's saying.
"The left is so dumb for being outraged at Fox News for saying most black people are criminals."
but something something 13/50, No, I swear I am not racist, that confederate flag is due to Heritage!
That lady with the deep voice just wanted to say “woke” as much as possible for this segment.
They ditched offensive words from the NASPA lexicon years ago that isn’t new.
