Quote from: Claven
It is a good game, but the lead designer is an alt-right, pro-Russian, neonazi, piece of fucking shit.

Do not support this studio, ever.


Calling him Nazi also seems completely made up, unless they want to declare Morrigan a Nazi as well for liking that same dumb album

Christ almighty. This is especially weird to me after moviebob said he thought there was nothing behind allegations regarding Miller.

I wonder if they could get away with demanding their pronouns be their full legal name.

They should identify as Innocent Of All Charges, so every time you say Ezra Miller Innocent Of All Charges, you also have to specify that they are innocent of all charges.

It'd be easier to find the days in which he doesn't advocate that the powerful just ignore the law, demand the ending of democracy or call for nearly all of the non-American population (and half of the American population) of the planet to be exterminated for being "obsolete" unlike himself.

The journey to how fast they declared Zaslav a maga, racist, nazi is amazing.

And now they keep repeating it with the utmost certainty until no one questions it anymore.

its because when you cop a ban for even mild pushback on insanity - because playing devils advocate was #cancelled by the progressive catholic church - the only direction the insanity can go is to ratchet up further until it becomes It Is Known.

Like Codename Joanne: Agent Of T.E.R.F. heading up global genocide

To me, a similar case could very, very easily be happening here. They notice that the darker tones of makeup are getting stolen at a rate above the usual shrinkage rate, so they put security/anti theft tags on them.

They even say so in the article

If people want to fight racism, I'm right there with them. But absent evidence to the contrary, the explanation of "All of our makeup is getting stolen a ton, and we're only going to put anti theft tags on the makeup for black people" seems a bit more ridiculous than "We noticed a few makeup SKUs were seeing higher than expected rates of theft, so we secured those SKUs". The latter seems more reasonable, and the more likely explanation here.
Holy fuck this take is awful.

Willfully defending systemic racism, oof.

In the example you cited I would put all those items in a cabinet which only staff can access so customers have to ask for them. Not put tags on one specific item.

oof oof, shit take fam, this privilege, I can't even, etc etc


also if you want to talk about equal protection of products divided by race that's one discussion, but to say that for the example he cited? magic, pokemon, and yugioh all need to be protected equally because one of them is stolen?

imagine you're wal-mart and someone keeps stealing your hot dogs so you lock up all food items in fully half the store just to protect all food equally  :doge

Someone bring up Morrigans Metal Nazi forum in that Kingdom Come thread please

"He also wore a NeoNazi band shirt during a GamesCom interview once."


He wore a Burzum shirt. That band Morrigan has praised a number of times. Funny how none of them ever bring that up.

Quote from: Drek
If I recall correctly it was Burzum, but just working off memory.
hahah, well of course. the most overrated pseudo-intellectual metal band of all time.. and yeah the frontman is an extremist idiot of some sort, iirc he believes in silly pagan stuff and dabbles in "racial theories" so neonazi is probably an apt description.

i DO know some people who listen to Burzum and claim fervently not to be racist, fanboying over Neil deGrasse Tyson (who is black of course) and enjoying black music/art... so its weird. what am i supposed to think of these folk..? i know crypto-nazis exist but yea i dunno. maybe they are just ignorant. or want attention by being edgy and contrarian.

there seems to be more evidence of this dude being a bigot than just wearing that shirt though so in his case its just more evidence on the pile i guess, so yeah fuck him. even IF he is "just trolling" or something its not much better, a fuckface is still a fuckface.

Morrigan annihilated.

Fuck Russia but the amount of people in this thread that defend her purely because she's a woman/poc is weird.
If she did that in Singapore or Malaysia, she would have gotten more than just jail time or possibly a noose.
One cannot plead ignorance when certain countries have very strict drug laws.

I wonder if people that defend her so hard in this thread are so sympathetic towards foreigners that break laws in Us and go to jail because they didn't know the local law.

Obviously there are numerous socio-economic reasons for why a higher percentage of darker skinned people are in a financial position where they can't afford make up but these tags are put on the products that are stolen the most.

Quote from: OtakuCoder
No, you’d protect them all, as they all fall under the umbrella of easy smuggled items with decent resell value. Not to mention: if you only protect one, what’d you think the shoplifters would move on to?

Dark skinned people are not going to steal make up designed for lighter skin for personal use, come on. You can't tag every item in the store that's not a viable solution.

This is a great video if you want to understand the bullshit behind corporate anti shoplifting practices.
I've liked a lot of this guys work but this video seems pretty ridiculous. It implies that 0.5% of revenue lost to shoplifting is basically nothing when that is clearly not the case.

Tesco is not going to go broke tagging the entire make up line instead of just the darker tones.
This I agree with. It's also stupid of Tesco not to see how optically terrible this is, but there is nothing inherently wrong with tagging products that are stolen more. 0.5% of revenue is a lot of money lol

In this instance they admit that these items weren't meant to be tagged though.
I mean yeah, what else are they meant to say at this point, "sorry about that, it's just darker skinned people steal more makeup"?

This is systemic racism, where the systems at play lead to unequal outcomes, not the racist actions of any one person in the chain.

Just because someone is an adult doesn't mean you stop enjoying things from your childhood.

An adult should be able to enjog Disney, play video games, play card games, and wants cuddles while also holding a 9-5 and having children.

The world is viewed as being shit, so if a 35 year old wants to be married by Winnie the Pooh, good on them.

Why would you ever possibly think this is somehow a solution?

I'm 41 and no.  I buy whatever I am interested in regardless of length or difficulty etc, however I will say in terms of the difficulty problem I don't really have any problems playing games that are hard, I may be 41 but I still have solid reflexes etc. Length is a bigger issue since I have 3 children so it does take longer to get through things, but in the end it doesn't matter much to me.

For reference since you mentioned Elden Ring, I got the platinum on both PS4 and PS5 within 3 weeks of launch.

Of all the comics to tell a person to pivot to from Bill Burr they select Tim Heidecker?


That's like suggesting Emo Philips over Seinfeld. At least choose someone in the relative genre. 

But I forget that the only thing that makes something funny is if it punches up and is told in the cadence of a joke about orange cheeto man the 45th (Trump.)

Does the behavior only count as ridiculous if it's exclusive to some Era members? I didn't even say "era being era", you just wrote that.
You responded to someone asking to why ERA hates this movie with post that makes it sound like ERA members were pulling concerns from thin air, when it clearly was on the minds of a lot of people given this movie's connection to the Aurora, Colorado shooting.

Just looked that up, made up shit.

The DA said this shooter had no connection or obsession with the character. It was an unfounded rumor that caught fire because a batman movie screening happened to be shot up. Tragic event but latching it onto this completely unrelated flick to spur up panic is tacky as hell and continues to be embarrassing.
Aight, I was wrong about him fashioning his appearance, but my point was always the concerns were about copycats.

Like it didn't get headlines, but there was increased security for BVS opening weekend too because of Aurora. And by you're definition that was completely "unrelated" too.
It was, there's nothing about Batman that makes someone shoot people. :batman

Like every good moral panic it reaches the stage where they want to will it into existence.

"I'm so worried that a copycat killer will show up in the King's theater downtown at the 20:30 showing, entering through the backdoor that is lightly propped open by the lazy janitor who doesn't want to bother with the keys. They'll likely use a semi automatic shotgun which is sold at various locations like here, here and here"
