As usual the OP is a total nut, but era treats them with their current standards like their normal people. Shock!
there is a weight lifter that couldnt win in men but now is a woman... its an unfair advantage for other women.
Paints way too positive picture. Most game industry people avoid this turdhole like the plague.
Fuck no, I won't reconsider it. They're literally siding with an oppressive dictatorship state that has been abusing and torturing their people for years. They're either stupid, or hypocrites.I've thought about it. See above.
Can platonic friendship still exist or are LGBT people trying to get rid of that?
I want to see this same amount of outrage the next time we hear about the new Dragon Quest.
It’s the modern Sonic characters and games that kicked off “and his shitty friends.” That’s the point when Sonic Team left behind the beautiful and stylish aesthetic and design of the Genesis games and went with the cringe shit we got starting with Adventure. But I will say one thing- the dumb designs of modern Sonic somehow appeal to a large age group, roughly between 13-25, socially challenged and also heavily into anime stuff. That’s when the series lost me. Mania picked me back up but I feel like Sonic is two completely different franchises now- classic and modern. As a Sonic fan there’s nothing redeeming to me about the modern series, especially the shitty friends.
this is literally the dumbest fucking case of ACTUAL "whataboutism" ive seen on this increasingly deranged US-propagandized site and it will be glossed over we have an open call for invasion in the thread, tacit support of continuing (one of many) starvation embargoes for the purpose of "regime" change by the most actually authoritarian regime in the world (hint: it aint Cuba or North Korea lmao), apologism for the country respnsible for exporting more death, poverty, misery, and perennial destruction than any in history (hey remember that time in the 70's when the US govt infected the Cuban livestock supply and forced a mass slaughter of the island's swine? or chemically carpeted southeast asia resulting in birth defects to this day?), but yeah, a country with less people than fucking Ohio is just waiting to turn its commie bloodthirst out on the world if given the opportunity, but youll never see a "banned for racism" tag for this and when those with an actual interest in nuance are decried with any number of incoherent screams of "ultras", "anarchists", "tankies" labels, all that's left is the thundering silent disinterest of those same detractors when their own ostensibly "free" country jails and openly murders people for protesting police brutality, oil companies who do more damage than any country south of the rio grande could dream of, or simply suggest that maybe the people in the richest country in both past and current history by unimaginable proportions shouldnt have to be in debt for the rest of their lives for riding an ambulance, except for a "damn that sucks, anyway THIS OTHER COUNTRY'S GOVERNMENT IS SOOOO EVIL AMIRITE??". Disgusting. Moronic. Shameful. I constantly see people on this site make accusations of political repression, genocide, police states of countries and their people who they have no interest in beyond being on the "right" side of the (likely state-targeted) social media trend of the day, but pointing out the materially consequential hypocrisy of this ideology and "analysis" that leads nowhere but death and stupidity is labelled "whataboutism" and results in literal silencing if someone's anecdotal evidence of cuban exiles is weaponized here, it's just another piece of evidence for "regime change"; take the word of people living there, and it's "brainwashed", "tankie", "propaganda" etc. etc. We have elected officials of both US parties, people and places that we ACTUALLY have a material connection to who are ostensibly in the interest of bettering the lives of people here AND abroad in places like Cuba, beating their chest with this imperialist bullshit to spring up nationalist fervor for their electoral campaign warchests... and nothing. quelle surprise. this site is a fucking clown show
Wait a second. I have literally been racially abused by mentally ill white women too. Please do not lecture me on what racism is. Nor do you need to be a mental health professional to see mental health issues. I too have history here. So thank you, but no thank you. My opinion is not invalid because you are a mod.
This isn't her first "mistake".Isn't she the same person that was ok with killing white babies? The admins need to do something about her or she needs to stfu already.Can't believe some of you call yourselves progressive and have these kind of takes.Makes me sick.
Yeah, I would never want my loved ones to do this kinda shit for money. The thought of my mother or sister doing this is making me gag. If I had a daughter and I walked in on her doing this stuff, I wouldn't be proud, I'd feel like I fucked up greatly, like a disgusting disappointment of a father. There must be some level of class even when conning stupid people, and it looks like we have blown way past that.
Don't fucking assume that I'm a fucking asshole just because I'm white (which you didn't even know before this post) you piece of fucking trash. You should be banned for that shit. I also love that everything you said doesn't even sound like you know shit but just acts like you know shit based on current inadequacies. Are you Russian? It sounds like you're not at all, but I'll certainly stand to be corrected if you are. Just sounds like you're another mad white kid thinking you're making a difference. If you can assume I'm white, I can sure as hell do the same back you pale brother. Whether you want to believe it or not, white people can absolutely campaign for this change in voice actors, and actors as well. And as much as I might fucking hate to admit , those voices are still potentially the most powerful. Double standards can suck my fucking dick. I read comics when I was a kid. A lot. And I don't like the idea of Alexi being cast as an American, especially when we're at a point where that shit is finally starting to be conquered at least a little. That's from me, a 31 year old American white dude. How do you think some Russian kids may feel that grew up seeing this American person featured in a film as their hero?
What do you mean? i don’t mean in a bad way. Just don’t understand why skin color is so important in these topics. A white person can voice a black one and a black person can voice a white one. I really don’t see the problem.
Is Barrett actually black in FF7R? He looks like a dark skinned Japanese dude. Just saying. I totally thought he was black in FF7 but now with the Remake I felt that they wanted to change that. They can say it's the lighting all they want but I don't buy it.
Something was bothering me earlier when I looked into this. The responses about potential predators... I dismissed them at first, but it was too troubling for me to ignore, so I started thinking... Was that trans person actively preying on them? If not, then they shouldn't be concerned. While not common, at least that I know of, cis-male and females don't tend to prey on each other in the bathrooms. Again as far as I know, women only worry about men entering their bathrooms and preying on them. Which means they are worried because she was a male in terms of sex. However, she identifies as female and I assume it works in terms of gender identity too. Trans-women use the women's bathroom/spa's because that is how they identify. On top of that, they likely feel safe amongst their own sex. I'm probably making huge assumptions here, and may be commenting on something I don't completely understand. Any trans people feel free to speak up. But I feel that they are basically calling for forcing trans-people to use bathrooms and spa's of the opposite sex, which they may not feel comfortable in. That's segregation. And besides, what about trans-people's fears for being preyed on by the opposite sex if forced to use their bathrooms and spa's? Anyways, those were just my thoughts. /rant
OK im gonna toss a bigger lens on this. I know it's simple for ERA and most of us to say yeah, no big deal, rah rah trans rights. But IRL is not so black and white/simple. How would you navigate this to the bigger public? And Wi Spa, as seen in the conan video, shows it's not just the changing room, you're in the spa naked too. As someone said, the past old thinking, or more so, for most folks, probably aren't used to seeing peen in what's normally the cishet women's area. Re Tokyo funks comment: nudity would be normal yes, but in what's a segregated gender spa, you'd be normally used to seeing only one genitalia or something. It throws things for a curve when you see something different. It's not I don't hope to see any nudity, it's that they're seeing opposite genitalia, which currently is not the norm yet. Now I'm not sure of the full story now of this, some said it's fake outrage. video says its the changing room, article mentions it was in the actual spa itself.
So.... like...play a different game? Maybe come to terms with the fact that the world doesn't revolve around you or them? IDK, but this line of reasoning is genuinely futile. I can think of a thousand better things to get upset about.
You're wasting your time with corporate apologists and bootlickers. There's a defense force for everything. People have said about violence being targeted too in specific titles, yet you have people saying "b-but it's because western games don't have problematic content" which isn't even the point.
I ain't reading all that I'm happy for you tho Or sorry that happened
I don't have to defend that at all. I can support the revolution that kicked out a and still criticise it for poor subsequent decisions.I can firmly, fully, say with all of my heart: No, you don't. Very fucking clearly you have no idea what you are talking about. I can with 99.99% certainty claim you have never opened up a single page of socialist theory. Whatever, I am out of this thread, peace and fuck America. Lift the goddamn embargo already.
If that was the case, you would have directly quoted me about Rex, instead of talking past me. Just like Drewton did. Just like you all do. Within my first few posts since coming back from a month long ban. And you're jumping on it. Isn't it enough i walked away from the SW OT? You fuckers gotta follow me around other SW threads as well. It's. so. fucking. tiresome You wanna have a nice SW convo. I'm more than happy too. But keep your little bitchy ass bullshit to your Discord. Where i know you all love to take the piss.
Is this what a rogue Tyler impression looks like? So many locks/unlocks going on here.
Judge for yourself:Furthermore:Some pictures from the article: I looked online and found the book that the article is based on , though you can also purchase it on Amazon. A friend gave this article to me. Judge for yourself, but it's basically questioning the narrative about the treatment of American POWs in the Vietnam War and even compares the treatment of American POWs to the renditions under the CIA's Operation Phoenix at one point.
it's in there for a reason. and it does improve performance mentally which is why it's on the list. I didn't say anything bad about her. She just has to make better decisions and you pulling the race card is uncalled for. None of this has anything to do with raceYou labelling me a jerk is ridiculous. Why am I a jerk? Because I'm not joining the hive mind in pushing for a rule change for something that's been in existence for quite some time? I'm not saying this to someone with PTSD. I'm saying this about an Olympic athlete who broke a rule everyone including her knew about. Okay her mom died I get it. But you're telling me there was no other way for her to cope besides smoking a joint. GTFO with that nonsense. She excepted her punishment and you should as well. People like you always looking for the double standard for when it best suits their narrative I tell you. The sense of entitlement here is just ridiculous and y'all should be ashamed of yourselves.
They’re banning folks just for saying that they’ll buy the game regardless, so yes.
Most of this forum is from a country with a very poor educational system so, even though they're reading text in their native language, their comprehension skills aren't really good.
Oh hell nah. Chris Paul hugging it out with Trumper Lil Wayne? FUCK THAT PUTO
There definitely needs to be something done but making shoplifting a felony is not the answer. There is a middle ground for punishing repeat offenders, whether that's something like community service or some other solution. You're arguing with a libertarian who is masquerading as someone with liberal ideology. is not interested in any sort of actual solution that takes into account social equity, balance or justice because their sole interestThe fact that you can imply that you have any sort of liberal ideals while repeatedly using libertarian/conservative propoganda language would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad and obvious. Remember where you crowed about how much money you made off Facebook, a company that literally ? Then you sidestepped a lot of the very valid criticism that people had for Facebook and how utterly morally bankrupt it is to celebrate the success of a fundamentally immoral company that, among other things:This is, of course, only the tip of the iceberg. Your only response was talking about what a wonderful place it is to work, completely ignoring the fact that all the benefits you espoused are built off a literal pyramid of human misery and death. I don't know what you are but you're not liberal and I'm not entirely convinced you have a conscience or any sort of moral compass.
I honestly have a lot of difficulties to understand the criticisms to the lack of a black woman in Overwatch. I mean: if the game would have included only white females characters I would have perfectly understood it but the roaster presents female characters from a lot of different countries that are not tipically represented in videogames. Like Egypt, India, Mexico... I mean, this is not common at all and in general I think that the game has one of the wider ethnic cast of characters. Probably it's because I'm european and I can't understand what exactly is the problem with the lack of black women in the game. Probably it's an USA-only problem? I don't know...
Bull shit is everywhere. Fuck these guys. They are the most retarded folks.
Fuck off mate, the first doll was in the same location every time and after dying 5 plus times in a row and being forced to watch an unskippable cutscene I looked it up, restarted the game, and they spawned where the guide said. Only time in the game I used a walkthrough because playing where's Waldo in broad day daylight was neither scary or tense. It 100% glitched
I'm at a loss for words. Insomniac has been one of my favorite video game developers throughout the years and I've always looked up to them as this insanely talented but also exemplary developer. Their anti-crunch policies etc. Everything is just in shambles right now. This shit to be fixed. I don't expect you to respond, nor am I trying to cast some sort of blame on you, so please don't take it as such. But this needs to be addressed. Insomniac can and needs to do better than this.
Assulting people, saying vile things or even fake fainting isn't on the same level of weirdness as what I saw in that video personally. Like a whole store was carrying on as normal around this person. If your reaction to anything is to act like this you have real problems. And if this was calculated?! If she did this whole act on purpose?!?! Somehow thinking that it would draw sympathy. That's even more absurd behaviour. Like I said, normal racist white people don't act like that. If we just cropped the video so you just saw this racist white lady's actions and didn't know what she was reacting to, you would think something very strange was happening. I don't think we would point at this and go "ah, just a typical racist white woman". And none of that means that she isn't a racist white woman. Amy Cooper is acting nothing like this other racist white woman. Their behaviour is, in my opinion, planets away from each other. This racist white woman isn't calling the cops or demanding to speak to the manager. That's the racist white woman playbook, instead you have all this weird other shit. This is a white woman in a store filled with other white women, acting in a way that gets basically none of their sympathy (I think maybe one woman says something). That's not normal to me. The victim should be the focus, and it seems like overall it is here. I'm glad that Ijema was able to get some donations to help her out, she more that deserves it after how she was treated. Ultimately, I believe that we can have the nuance of recognising the erratic nature of the attackers behaviour (if it seems that way to you) while still putting victims first and helping them out. Like I said in another post I don't like the idea of bad faith whiteness defining the way I want to talk about an issue or incident. The fact that some white people are going to try and push the fact that this racist white woman is just "mentally ill" as a way of absolving her, doesn't mean that if I personally think something is mentally weird with her that I won't point that out. That's just a side observation to me, not something that defines this. The only reason I'm talking about it now is because people are currently arguing about it.
"EA is Evil," Says Increasingly Derivative Content Creator for Seventh Time This Year
That they ended. And the hours of entertainment the infighting between fans gave me.
Not in that video you posted. He says slurs are bad but there's value in distinguishing between people with different intent which is almost tautologically true. Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes calling a jew a kike vs NBA player Meyers Leonard doing the same during a CoD match is different, but both are bad. Unless your take on slurs is utterly one-dimensional (like "the effect is the only thing that matters"), you have to agree with this. Intent matters and you know it's true: A black person calling another black the n-word is no big deal, because the intent is made obvious by the fact that the person is unlikely to be racist against themself. The effect (being offended, being discriminated against, etc.) is obviously heavily affected by the assumed intent. If you have a different reading of that video, feel free to share your interpretation.
