Good for her. TONS of people fail upwards, let her take all the opportunities this gives her.

We feel the thread and story have run their course for now and don't want to host or encourage the voyeurism on display.

What voyeurism are you talking about you dunce?

Anyone who has done even the lightest bit of research into the McCarthy-era blacklist should be disgusted by this comparison.

-Carano posted her horrific beliefs of her own accord, and lost one job as a result.

-Blacklisted writers and actors could lose everything and face serious legal penalties (including deportation in some cases) based on whatever bullshit Ronald Reagan wanted to make up about them.

The level of persecution is not even close to comparable.

In the Soviet Union a man goes to buy a car.
He goes up to the owner and asks for a car, to which the owner responds:
'You know there is a 10 year waiting list?'
The man then answers, 'OK,' and after some time he then agreed to buy a car.
So he pays for the car in advance, and just before he leaves he asks the owner,
'Can I pick the car up in the morning or afternoon?'
'It's 10 years away, what does it matter?'
'The plumber is coming in the morning'.

If there's one thing era OT really really hate, its tearing into 'public figures' of any degree and poring through their life like its opposition research for any examples to tear them apart.

They hate it so much its only, what, 75% of their daily content?

RE utterly dumbfounded by the Nier remake

It doesn't really matter what in-game justification you use. There's no version of reality where a woman wearing a negligee into battle against hostile entities makes sense. It's even more idiotic than boob armor, which is in itself, a travesty. I don't even now what else to say. The video starts by giving us a clear view of her panties and buttocks. WTH

They aren’t talking about President Ronald Reagan but actor Ronald Reagan during the Hollywood blacklist scandal where presumably you could snitch on someone you suspect of being a communist and get them blacklisted from working or worse.  :ufup

Microsoft has been trying to look more cool, human and personable for a minute now, so this works for them.

For Rayner though it doesn't have to be as cynical; a coming out can be a cathartic moment that works in an inward sense, despite its public nature.
Saying things out loud helps manifest them after all (on a psychological level).

imagine a headline these days saying "so-and-so comes out as gay," even era would be like "smh this is a baldfaced attempt to get attention, there are trans people suffering and dying every day and this mfer wants a cookie for announcing he's the same as millions of people"

1 looks like Melania

2 looks like what you expect Samus Aran to look like

3 looks weird,

4 is ok I guess

5 looks like a real doll, not a person

#2 is the hottest
Their best attempt at a 3D model of a realistic Samus


Their best attempt at drawing Samus is the art they did for Zero Mission.


Still, unlike some of their other characters Nintendo never manages to get Samus consistently right.

Exactly. GAF cares a lot actually. They aren’t saying “who cares” because they think it’s so acceptable and fine that you don’t need to announce this.  They don’t “care” because they don’t want it in their face and think giving it any attention is an attack on their “culture”.

Look at the thread about diversity hiring. It was full of posts about how the best should be hired and race and gender don’t matter.

Then when a white game character is rumored to be played by a black actor, race of the talent all of sudden matters.

I think this is an arguable point

the best hire is one that performs the best or suits the position best, you have a laundry list of qualities you're looking for like "has 10 years experience in HTML5" or "is punctual and polite," nothing about most jobs makes them better or worse-suited toward certain races or genders

when you're disney creating a live action remake of sleeping beauty that you want to be recognizable/nostalgic for fans, one of the qualities you should probably look for in a lead actor is "is female," if sleeping beauty is male I would not be surprised if a lot of fans found that to be a turnoff

male sleeping beauty might not be the best qualified actor for that position even if he sings well

white black panther might not be the best qualified actor for that position even if he is fit and fights well

sounds reasonable to me

I disagree with your analogy because well Black Panther is kind of tied to his race. Joel from the Last of Us is not. He’s also not a “nostalgia” character. The only real requirement in my opinion is that he be a male with an imposing quality. Tall and stern-looking, almost as if he walked off a construction site.

Pedro Pascal also doesn’t look like Joel, but there’s not at all the same rage.

So no I don’t think it’s reasonable.

Generally, "Terrible person making a terrible tweet about terrible people" is not thread-worthy. This is one of those.



I must have imagined the last 4 years of "President Shit Stain Tweets Blah" threads.
Or the rest of fucking OTs front page right now.
Or like, 90% of incelchiefs fucking post history.

I wonder why shutting this thread down got a rush job with their mod-buddies?
Not quite the full story there excel, Ayaan is an ex-muslim woman who was abused and mutilated because of religious dogma, she chose to excape to the NL and my country completely failed to protect her and the left here called her racist for speaking out about sexism and homophobia in her former religion.

I disagree with your analogy because well Black Panther is kind of tied to his race. Joel from the Last of Us is not. He’s also not a “nostalgia” character. The only real requirement in my opinion is that he be a male with an imposing quality. Y’all and stern looking, almost as if he walked off a construction site.

Pedro Pascal also doesn’t look like Joel, but there’s not at all the same rage.

So no I don’t think it’s reasonable.

your determination is not a universal one though, to others it might be important to nail the look and without doing the original justice, no sale

any corporation or group making a product to sell to the masses is going to have to make tough calls and factor in what they think their audience is most likely to enjoy, and what will make them the most money, artistry is not a factor, someone doing the right portrayal doesn't matter if it doesn't capture exactly what the audience wants to see

in this particular case they even need to factor in what audiences would think of a black man being a protector of a white little girl, or under a different casting choice a white man protecting a black little girl, etc

they also need to consider the optics of (tlou ending spoilers)

Today, to celebrate valentines weekend, bored incel hatemonger twitter would like to cancel... *rolls dice* David Letterman!

https://www.resetera.com/threads/i-never-knew-just-how-much-of-a-monster-david-letterman-was-on-his-show-until-i-saw-this-lindsey-lohan-interview.378177/

Let's hear why a tv clip from nearly a decade ago makes someone a piece of shit you hope loses current and future work, era!

Cancel culture is a myth!

by encouraging everyone to stop watching anything he's ever been in we can stop the flow of royalties to him

and it also sends an important message to current and future late show hosts: we will not tolerate this behavior!

Blackface acceptable, asking guest uncomfortable questions unacceptable
