CRITICAL!

It is the feeling of relief, happiness, sadness and remorse that one experiences when their character in Fire Pro knocks or is knocked unconscious

Similarly to having sex on alot of alcohol and not knowing exactly when you will ejaculate, but when you do...

** 8 minutes into match, Hogan Vs Taker **
Kurt: Oh man, I've done my finisher on you over 20 times
Chad: I know man, I'm close to 15 times now and you still won't die, bleeding like fuck though
** 20 minutes pass **
Kurt: Ohhh, the 30th leg drop and CRI... Oh damnit!
Chad: Haha, my hands ache using the RE controller
** another 20 minutes pass **
Chad: OK, this one and, ah shit, still didn't work!
Kurt: Leg drop whilst you're down and oh CRITICAL!
Chad: Bastard! Don't even think about picking me up... Beer and smoke?

Critical Finish

A new "finisher" move featured in Soul Calibur IV. Much like a fatality in Mortal Kombat, this move can be pulled off regardless of the size of the opponenet's life bar.

Each critical finish is unique to each character, yet all are essentially ho-hum, over rated, and proof that the developers couldn't think of any new gameplay mechanics.

Instead of learning the game and dissecting each fighter's depth, newcomers to the game are simply racing to see who can pull off their critical finish but it's "way cool" and "of win".

Critical Race Theory

The concept of placing racism, typically that of white men, at the forefront of the discussion of (usually American) history and law. It labels race as a predominantly social construct and is often used to call people to fight institutionalized racism and privilege.
This theory is often criticized for labelling white people as incorrigible oppressors and bearing a strong resemblance to Marxism.

A: Critical Race Theory says the U.S. government was largely founded on bias towards white straight men.
B: Hey, I'm white and I'm not a racist
A: The fact you felt the need to speak up at all says otherwise

Gender Critical Feminism

A branch of radical feminism that is critical of the concept of gender identity. This is often called TERFism because of how exclusionary feminists within this branch are of transgender people. The ideology is infamous for its transphobia and sexism

James: Gender critical feminism is just TERFism
Karen: TERF is a slur, misogynist
