Following that set of grifters just shows Pratt’s a rube, and nobody ever accused him of being smart.

You know what, let them shit on Chris Pratt.

It might move them one step closer to realizing that the Marvel Cinematic Shitaverse is, in fact, shit.

I don't know how they can continue to support James Gunn while simultaneously going out of their way to find things to hate Chris Pratt for and declare him a garbage conservative person

It's because if they don't have someone to actively hate, they feel worthless.

As pointed out in the above tweet, which was retweeted today, Rousey is a pretty damn problematic person on a number of different topics. I'm personally very disappointed that WB and/or NRS would make the decision to put her in the game as Sonya and thought it was worth a more focused discussion outside of the larger MK11 threads

One of the biggest lies in modern America is the idea that words have no power. That all opinions are equal.

The thing about celebrities is that people like to emulate them. Their opinions spread. So if a celebrity has an opinion that trans people are a lesser form of people and she espouses that ,it will spread and that will DIRECTLY lead to more violence against trans individuals.

If she spreads opinions that a school massacre was fake, people will emulate that and stop believing bad things are happening and STOP TRYING TO WORK TO FIX THE BAD THINGS.

Opinions of powerful people are fucking dangerous, and Netherrealm is complicit in giving her opinions a wider net.

Not exactly wrong but I’m pretty sure the solution is teaching people critical thinking than “ban her and never speak about it”.

Quote
Terrible actress, terrible fighter, and a terrible person. While I admit to no longer having any real interest in Mortal Kombat as a franchise, WB Games and NRS working with Sandy Hook truther gutter trash guarantees that won't be changing.

I’m not going to buy the game I was not gonna buy anyway.

But I was definitely not feeling good about MK11 as they repeatedly held up Rousey to the audience to celebrate her. Like, goddamn, there's literally no way to not know these things if you're hiring her, you just don't care. That's fine, I guess, but I don't have to like it and I'll still complain about it.

Being fair, he is not wrong. Is just that most people will complain with snide remarks and move on while Alberto is going to make a click bait article about it and encourage people to bitch about this anytime someone talks about Mortal Kombat.

Not that I care much about Rousey, but isn't it quite a reach to say that she's a transphobic TERF just because she believes a transgender woman would have an advantage in MMA?

I love how Tucker Carlson is the warm-up pitch, and then an IGN editor is supposed to be the home run.

Maybe that's why we killed them off. Food for thought: Elephants, dolphins and whales have larger brains than humans, too. Can't have that.

Spoiler: Brain size and intelligence aren't directly related. Otherwise women would be out of luck: On average, the brains of men are 8.3% heavier.

Then again, the guy in charge of Marvel movies is one of Donald Trump's best friends and that hasn't stopped them from continuing to watch the 3-6 movies a year and marathoning the previous 20 when each new one comes out.

It's a pity he isn't Muslim. Then anything he may believe that is potentially dodgy isn't even speculated on because that would be Islamophobic.

In fact, he may even get away with it being considered +1 for diversity.

Then there's his ban message which is pretty good

Ck was the one who taught me about never punching down, and now here he is taking shots at the disabled and the innocent dead.
Ahahah, yeah CK never had edgy jokes before.
Despite being on O&A a 100 times, joking about raping people, etc.

The delusion of people (pretending to) suddenly discovering this guy's material, is comical in itself.

I listened to the leaked set, and it was actually better than his last Netflix one, tbh - though a couple of jokes were indeed flaccid.

A woman involved in a sport where you kick the living shit out of each other, being placed in a game where you can rip your opponent's spine out with your bare hands.

What Mortal Kombat really needs is role models.

You cannot "well ackchewally" on ree

But I don't get this obsession with miscategorizing things

Calling something a belief doesn't mean it's being given any respect in doing so, it's just...what it is

Like saying "Chris Pratt isn't a man, he's not human, he's a homophobe"
How does that ban message square with the OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION about religions?

Yeah, that makes no sense (which was the final straw for me that made me decide not to post there anymore). As mentioned before, part of their staff is religious, which apparently prevents your brain from functioning properly.
According to the gospel of Resetera, misogyny, cruelty to animals, oppression of dissent and so on is a-ok when done in the name of religion.

I'm really disappointed that no websites are picking this up. I was expecting at least Kotaku to comment on this.

They are forcing a heterosexual relationship on a character, against her explicit will (if you, as the player chose her to be homosexual) and then call the trophy for this "Growing up"? Why not just call the trophy "Corrective rape"? This is the most disgusting thing I've ever encountered in a game.

I was thinking, you could kind of interpet this post to mean that the most disgusting thing about this game is that they never called the trophy 'corrective rape' which in his mind is more fitting.

"having discussed the issue among the dev team, we have decided to change the trophy name to 'corrective rape'."

Why is that insulting exactly?
Instead of iwata imagine the name is your friend or a family member.

Actually a lot more tasteful than a lot of the cringey fanart posted on GAF after his demise.

This is the most disgusting thing I've ever encountered in a game.

What about the time Pillars of Eternity allowed a backer joke about a woman with a penis slip through

What about Final Fantasy 7's lighthearted treatment of sex slavery and cross dressing

What about Xenoblade's exploitative sexy costumes and problematic views on Blade "ownership"

What about how you never get to play as Zelda or female Link and anyone with darker skin color is evil

What about how Smash Bros compared Dee Jay to a monkey and has no black people in the cast

What about The Last Night's creator's problematic views on feminism

What about the way A Hat In Time's developers never removed JonTron's voice from the game, or the fact that Yooka Laylee initially allowed him to voice a character without considering his views (smh)

What about the way Kingdom Come Deliverance promotes a whitewashed view of history in Czech territories and its creator's problematic views

What about how all our nation's children are being indoctrinated by the works of Notch, notorious gater and phobe who subtly sprinkled his views throughout Minecraft

What about how Overwatch STILL doesn't have a black female character you can play as

What about how "the face of Fortnite" Ninja has deep-seated misogynistic views and to this day refuses to ever stream with a woman

What about those things huh

Mortal Kombat is a DEEPLY problematic game whose major selling point is racist faux Asian mysticism stereotypes and the glorification of torture/graphic cruelty

It got exactly the person it deserved

deeply problematic :lawd

People are getting outraged at MK, I feel like I'm in the 90s again. This is fantastic.
