Jerking it to Bowsette isn't weird anymore because now there's a live action version on pornhub.

I’m interest in these. White libertarians in the US that side with conservatives have evolved not at all from their slave-owning ideological founders.
I'm actually a pagan who follows the Greek pantheon! And I LOVE all of the POC representation in the game, and the way their personalities are written. And you can still tell the writers did tons of research.If you're interested, the webcomic "Lore Olympus" does some really interesting stuff with the Greek gods as well. However TW: Rape & Abuse, despite that its still very heartwarming and funny.

The POC representation is good because alters almost nothing in the game. Seriously, dunno why it does matter when your characters could act the same if they were white. What is representation there? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind the changes (the art is one of the reasons I started playing Hades, those character designs are great) but dunno why is big deal to celebrate “they made this characters black” when it changes nothing.

I find the game unappealing since the only protag choice is a man, and I'm sure it doesn't depict the Greek pantheon as being full of horrible people (especially rapist and patriarch Zeus).

One of the biggest hurdles of human culture and social evolution is our capacity to engage with each other on the exploration of ideas and concepts, and challenge both ourselves and others when confronted with ideas we deem dangerous or toxic.Bad ideas dont just evaporate because you don't like them or the people that hold them. Ideologies dont disappear because you deplatform. This is not an argument against either of these things, so much as internalising and recognising historically these are not absolute solutions to ideological problens. They fundamentally do not work longterm and we have the entirety of human history to prove this.Discourse and engagement through the power of language is the fundamental drive in our social evolution and is absolutely essential in the confrontation and destruction of ideas. It is the ONLY WAY people collectively can learn, change, and grow. It is the only way to enact permanent change to how we operate in our culture as a social species.And it's obviously not cut and dry. It's obviously not about inviting your local Neo Nazi into your home and making them dinner. It's not opposing those that threaten your safety and way of life, through force if necessary, or platforming and welcoming destructive ideas as if they're on the level of your own. It's also not to say that the root of all ideas stem from complex social framework, influenced by a vast assortment of factors that also require change.But it is to say without the engagement and discourse, as crushing and frustrating as it often is, the ideas aren't going anywhere. And finding better, more effective ways to engage in that discourse is important to us as a social species, so we can actually dismantle these ideologies and belief systems organically and not through authoritarian force (which doesn't work long term).
Also funny that another moderator is upset that the game doesn't depict the gods as rapistsQuote from: https://www.resetera.com/threads/why-women-criticise-sexualised-character-designs-ot3-her-ass-is-part-of-her-character.275780/post-47023223I find the game unappealing since the only protag choice is a man, and I'm sure it doesn't depict the Greek pantheon as being full of horrible people (especially rapist and patriarch Zeus).Is this, dare I say, almost like asking for "historical accuracy"? Though I'm sure she'd also be upset if the game had a female protagonist who's harassed by Zeus
CuckooThis is perhaps the most ironic of Zeus' transformations for sex. He was in love with Hera, but she spurned his advances. So he created a thunderstorm and made himself into a cuckoo bird in distress. Hera felt pity for the bird, took it in, and held it to her breast to warm it. Zeus immediately turned back into his own form and raped her.The cuckoo bird is so notorious for its cheating that it gave us the term for a man whose wife cheats on him, a "cuckold." The word derives from old French for a cuckoo ("cucu"). The females of some species of cuckoo lay their eggs in other birds' nests and leave them to bring up the offspring.

Zeus is a made up character. Why the fuck would you be upset that a fictional character has a different fictional depiction?And is this just going to be the criticism now? Everything should have a female character? If I make a game about brotherhood and male relationships, is it going to be unappealing because the main character is'nt female? Ree is stupid.

no one that isn’t voting is gonna post in this thread. They’re too cowardly to do so.
I mean it shouldn’t be. This forum is filled with dipshits and I guarantee you those people are posting on Gaming side jerking off to Cyberpunk while also complaining about The Last Of Us 2 being an attack on all men or something.
She doesn’t have any right to hold opinions that are causing people to kill themselves
Let's be honest, most people posting in this thread have no interest in talking about the actual issue of non-voters and how to get them engaged (I posted an article with several quotes a page back that delves into this and it's ignored). This thread is for people to pat themselves on the back, shit on some projected version of a non-voter they hate, and to weirdly relitigate the 2016 primary.

I'm 34 years old and have never voted in my life, I will never sit out an election again. I can no longer sit aside and allow racism and white supremacy to spread further. I will go to the booths here in Alabama and defiantly vote for Joe Biden. Joe Biden isn't the right choice, he's the only choice. Even though Alabama's electoral votes will almost assuredly go to Trump I will feel vindicated in doing the right thing in this election. Change always starts at 1. If I am any indication, hopefully Trumps tyranny has woken up many more like me, who had previously sat elections out.
I wouldn't bother. Those people are too far gone.Chomsky was right to liken them to Nazi enablers in Germany.
Do you acknowledge that either Biden or Trump will win? Because that's the reality of the situation. Voting independent is pretty much just throwing away your vote.
I don't get why voting for a third party is throwing away your vote, but not voting at all counts as a vote for trump
QuoteMost chronic non-voters are very, very far away from being privileged. Most of the time they are poor and uneducated people in a perpetual situation of learned helplessness. For them it doesn't matter who is president; their lives won't experiment any significant change.They should be pitied and helped. Instead this is a forum that reeks of elitism and privilege, with tons of people from urban areas with higher education and successful careers, one only needs to take a look to the Gaming side to notice that almost everyone is well-off when they not only aren't unemployed during this pandemic, they can purchase shiny PS5s and 800$ graphic cards like candy. And in OT I see threads of people bragging about their BMWs and fancy SUVs/Teslas all the time. Last week a guy wanted to get rid of a car just because it's ten years old but has like 40.000 miles total. It was almost offensive to me, who drives a 23-year old car with near 500.000 miles on it and that it will surely kill me if I have a frontal crash.Era should take a look in the mirror sometimes, I swear. And get off the high horse.I'm going to say again that if you CHOOSE to not vote, you are privileged. Full stop.

Only Biden or Trump can win this election.Republicans want you voting third-party because it helps Trump.The only way you can oppose Trump is to vote Biden.You may not like it, but that's how it is.I'll state that again: if you aren't voting for Biden, you are helping Trump.
I'm in my mid-40s and have never voted for a US election because my family moved out of the country when I was two months old. My kids are now asking me why I wouldn't vote, so for the first time I am registering to vote (in Indiana as that is where we last lived).
What’s her opinion on the Greek gods getting cucked by the Romans?
So are we still going to be hosting discussions of WB games or can we be rid of them? Harry poter and arkham alike?We can discuss them with topics like this, but I'm not comfortable being apart of a site that allows free press for this shit
