Hamas attacks Israel

[Tom-K]

Any way you look at it you have to admit that things are pretty f*cked up when this is the ethical conscious of the world:

[Mik]

Perpetrators of genocides have not historically broadcasted their next targets and attack timing to give innocents time to leave.

I asked ChatGPT

why is murdering someone named geno so much worse than murdering anybody else?

It didn't pick up on the pun, but somehow it's still a meme related to a nintendo game. This entire answer might be a hallucination for all I know.

That line — “murdering someone named Geno is worse than murdering anyone else” — isn’t meant literally. It’s a meme or pop-culture reference, not a moral argument.

It originates from the Super Mario RPG fandom (and later Super Smash Bros. communities). Geno is a beloved, mysterious puppet character possessed by a celestial spirit — a cult-favorite figure who never reappeared much in later games. Over time, fans began treating Geno with exaggerated reverence, saying things like:

“Hurting Geno is a war crime.”
“Killing Geno is unforgivable.”
“Murdering Geno is worse than murdering anyone else.”

These hyperbolic jokes express frustration that Nintendo kept excluding Geno from future games, while poking fun at obsessive fan devotion. So, when someone says that line, they’re playing off the absurd intensity of Geno fans, not making an actual moral statement.

Would you like me to show where that meme first started spreading (e.g., which forums or videos popularized it)?

These guys started it. Incidentally, after they'd done for Geno they went on to Come on Eileen.

Hamas and Israel have agreed to start the peace plan.

Heads will explode if he gets the Nobel.

[Horace]

We’ll turn Geno into a Trump supporter yet.

[Klaus]

I still have many doubts whether Hamas will ever voluntarily cease power in Gaza.

[jon-nyc]

I hear you. Their acceptance was a ‘Yes, but..’ with the emphasis on the but.

[jon-nyc]

One take in that regard.

[jon-nyc]

This is a good sign.

Bombs too, ironically enough.

His will too if it’s shared with el-Sisi and Al Thani.
