How many bot swarms does Patrick use? because I refuse to believe he got 2k likes for that distinguished mentally-challenged hot take.

Polygon explicitly calling for Kotick to resign. The role of a good press is beyond providing raw information, it's context and guidance.

This fucking twat. The role of a good press is arguable on the context, but guidance?? Guidance is advocacy and that takes you out of the role of being press you dumbass. As if GAMING media have enough respect and nouse to act like their condemnation or endorsement has any affect past pre-order numbers.

[Boredfrom]

Just utterly speechless at all of this. The covering up of abuse I had already assumed, that much seemed a given considering the state of ActiBlizz up until now.

Threatening to kill a former assistant and the second mass walkout not being enough to sway the board of directors from dropping this fetid stain of a human being from his CEO position though? I'm just... wordless and stunned at the rationale of sticking by him. 

Why the fuck a mass walkout will sway a bunch of executives from a notoriously ruthless video game company.

[Lonewulfeus]

Got it once when I was 16. Caught it from my uncle who thought it was a good idea to attend a party after he had barely recovered himself. Shook his hand at the start of the evening and around midnight I was camping on the toilet myself.

It was actually a traumatic experience for me. My mental health was already going downhill and I was in full control freak mode, just desperately clinging onto everything that gave me a sense of stability. And then I started vomitting and crapping my ass out and I felt so powerless. Awful, awful time. I still have a fear of vomitting (the act, not the vomit itself) and I'm glad it has been 13 years and counting since I last had to.

I wonder if he tried wearing a Casio F-91W?

[BIONIC]

I have had 3 of these over 3 decades. I moved around a lot growing up due to my dad being a surgeon. If anyone knows of psychoanalysis, this would be my transitional object. This, from the age of 9, was a symbol of stability when my world wasn't. Losing friends, changing schools, new people, uncertainty, anxiety. But the Casio F-91W was always on my wrist. With big adjustments such as moving countries, at least I could make small adjustments on a watch like change to the right time zone. I have a lot of sentimental value to this watch. If I don't wear it when I'm out, I feel naked and unsure slightly.

A lot of them really seems to have a massive chip on their shoulder regarding their parents and family in general. They regularly have borderline violent tendencies towards family and strongly advocate cutting off all family from your life for often petty reasons. Of course, these same people also complain about being alone on special occasions like birthdays and holidays.

This is an exact line from Era regarding George Floyd's murderer being found guilty.  "Why did it take so long?"

When Kenosha Killer gets off via self-defense and it takes 40 days and 40 nights they will cry, "Why didn't they spend longer deciding?"


It's just Histrionic Fox News Viewers/Hyperventilating Liberal Jackass logic.  When your side gets a self-defense is good, when their side gets one is travesty of justice.

I brushed that off, and then later I brought up how our dog would always be super happy when my mom was about to come home (as in, when my dog could hear her footsteps or her voice and would get excited), and then my mom said "she was the only one who loved me!!" in a tone that was like "ugh, only the DOG loved me." And then she later said "I gave her food and water every day" and she said it as if that's supposed to prove love.

And a couple of hours later I was obviously still crying and grieving and my mom was just saying "stop it!!" over and over again, as if that's helpful lol.

Let me get this straight...this useless sack of shit didn't even feed his own damn dog and he is going to complain that his mother wasn't willing to pay $3000+ to keep a dying dog on oxygen in a vet hospital?

Threads like this are fucking wack. There are always two conversations going on at once, one about JKR (or CDPR in CP2077 threads) being transphobic, and the other just ignoring that conversation as if it were not happening at all.

They really, really hate it when people ignore them and don't take their bait. I remember that driving them nuts during the CP 2077 fiasco as well.

Popped into the trans awareness week thread and lord this is not the type of awareness I needed.

I find it quite funny that the trans community back when era first started used to be alright and then ketkat started shitting up the place and being so fucking aggressive to people it actually turned more people against the community on a whole, then we had the whole looking at mods discord saga and that just blew up even further, then the grand CDPR saga and demands which included the unbanning of ketkat. It's almost like a military operation on that site to try get her back on, I wouldn't be shocked if ketkat is actually on the site to this day under another username. But at the same time the way that they acted all the time would probably make it impossible to hide themselves as they loved being a fucking cunt and causing shit. Now they're just ignored mostly and I would imagine a lot of people just straight up probably hit ignore on the threads. Coming back to Cyberpunk, I found it absolutely hilarious that Kyuuji after all the shit they said about the game being anti trans and they wouldn't support it found it absolutely fine to play it because it wasn't their money being used to support the company, this mother fucker played through the game 3-4 times to get all the endings and their view was, wow game is bad.

I am very much looking forward to Hogwarts gate to kick off so Kyuuji can get another free game to "Review" as a trans voice.

Trans people I have met in real life are super chill and nice and I have absolutely no issues with, these fuckers are grifters online and probably just larping.

Massive miscarriages of justice with regards to white killers are so common at this point that it can't really be accurately described as a miscarriage if the country operates on the belief that whites should just be able to do whatever they want without consequence. Subsequently, nothing is going to happen to Rittenhouse. Zimmerman is still alive after all.

I had to read this twice because my brain kept wanting that last sentence to be "Zimmerman is still free after all." and not basically an expression of disappointment that nobody vigilante murdered the guy. Rittenhouse case pointing out some absolute bullshit in our legal system (the barrel length thing leading to dropping the weapons charge should cause a review of those laws, but won't) but pointing to the lack of vigilante murdering is a choice. The story wouldn't end there--whoever took out Zimmerman would end up charged with murder and I don't see the results of that follow-up trial doing much to convince people the justice system is making progress on race relations.

If people want to come to protests armed, I'm not going to stop them, nor will I lament what happens to emboldened right-wingers who try to Rittenhouse their way into protests in other states that ultimately don't concern them. They wanna get capped? Whatever.

Although I will admit I randomly had the fleeting thought last night that we need to fundamentally change the nature of how protesting operates. We spent untold amounts of energy and money last year just to, what? Ultimately get one cop out of thousands of cops with flagrant records of abuse and murder convicted? Kinda put out the idea of reallocating the billions we spend on these pigs to actual social betterment only for it to die at the hands of conservatives and fuck-ass liberals redirecting the conversation away from that onto their petty issues with the "defund" slogan? Have dumbass anarchistic whites use the protests as cover to LARP the LARP they've always dreamed of LARPING? And remember, that was all under conditions exacerbated by pandemic shutdowns. Working class people could finally take to the streets because, well, they weren't really working. We will not get that opportunity again for another lifetime.

Thus, we need to find ways to more efficiently direct civil ire onto those directly responsible for their woes. One idea I suggest is really, indeed, to roll up on the private homes of Republicans (preferably unarmed). They weren't really scared of what happened last year because some kid burning down a police station in a town they were never going to be in because of how Black it is doesn't really affect them. If nothing else, it's just red meat to the base- look at how they still stupidly think places like Portland were "burnt down" and literally don't exist as they once did anymore. But remember how caught off guard Darren Wilson was when they found his ass, and how they scrambled the troops? That was scary to them.

We need to start actually finding Republicans at this point. And yeah, I know the liberals won't like it because it's unbecoming. But I don't really care what liberals think because they're not after results.

People are now prepping to move the goalposts from 'you can't financially support the HP franchise without supporting JKR who will directly use your dollars to terrorize trans people' to  'Harry Potter should stay cancelled even if, theoretically, someone to buy JKR out so she no longer profits off the franchise because as long as she's alive you watching HP gives her power, even if not money':

Nah, it isn’t just a case of “ enjoy what you want, other people are free to shame you”. Rowling uses the money and the mindshare to activity hurt trans people, when the UK government backed out of trans protections she was a big reason why. She is militarizing her fame and money to actively hurt people like me and if you are contributing to her mindshare I don’t care how many people you “ educate” you are still contributing to real world effects that are taking away the rights of people like me.

You cannot fence sit this one, you either support trans people and give up the HP, or you still interact with it and are helping her actively hurt me.

And no selling it doesn’t help her fame is half the issue and even without ownership or profit it being big still gives her as the creator a larger than normal voice. When she is dead we can talk.

I didn't mention anything about twitter, I said that the continued prominence and adoration of the Harry Potter IP goes hand in hand with her ability to influence people, like we've seen over the past year and a half. I'm suspect that a desire to see her cut materially from a future film, while allowing for some to feel better about engaging with it, would have a significant impact in this connection as it would sustain the IP and that that is tied to her in ways beyond money and contracts. The weight afforded to her is done so as the creator of the IP, not as a result of being the immediate beneficiary from it.

Cancel culture doesn't exist, but if someone sucks you're not allowed to enjoy anything they ever made until they die even if they're not actually profiting off it.

If nothing else, it's just red meat to the base- look at how they still stupidly think places like Portland were "burnt down" and literally don't exist as they once did anymore. But remember how caught off guard Darren Wilson was when they found his ass, and how they scrambled the troops? That was scary to them.

We need to start actually finding Republicans at this point. And yeah, I know the liberals won't like it because it's unbecoming. But I don't really care what liberals think because they're not after results.

Nepenthe personally lives in an area with millions of Republicans and moderate Democrats literally nearby, both groups which oppose the immediate "abolition of capitalism and colonialism" (and even Bernie's more tepid "social democracy"), has she ever done any kind of direct action other than threatening (after the fact and semi-anonymously) to use her capoeira on a rude Middle Eastern man serving her food?

A reminder that JKR has no political power whatsoever, and if she had the soft power claimed, Brexit wouldn't have happened and Labour would be in Government.

If the Uk Government 'backed out' from the proposed self identification bill as a result of JKR being 'a big reason why', it's because she pointed out what the proposed law was intending to do, and what was wrong with it.
Pink news called her a fucking liar TERF liar bitch TERF, and then had to officially retract that, because JKR had correctly stated what the law was going to mean, and her criticism of it was indeed merited.

Also note that the Uk government has at no time 'backed out of trans protections'; they killed a proposed self-identity bill at early draft. Trans citizens have all the same rights as every other citizen, under the same human rights legislations as other citizens. They actually have slightly more if you really want to get pedantic about it, although not to the extent that Stonewalls diversity service claimed they did (leaving subscribers to that service and adherents to their advice open to wrongful dismissal lawsuits).

(Content Warning: Disability, discrimination, politics, death, COVID, and a bunch of related topics. This was really hard for me to write with my current neurocognitive issues, and I had to stop more than once to gather my thoughts and prevent myself from crying. Even now, there are warning alarms going off in my head as I type this out. I feel this needs to be said, but I completely understand if you need to skip it. I tried to make the last paragraph as safe as I could, if you just want to read the end.)

I am plural. This is tough to discuss, and even harder to explain. It's what some folks might call "multiple personalities", although I dislike that term and it's kind of offensive. I share my body with four others, and we work together as one to live. This isn't some sort of disorder, or something that needs fixing. It is simply who we are, and another aspect of our collective identity.

...

Trans people fucking die, that's what happens. This year has been one of the deadliest years on record, and every year we have to dedicate a day just to remember those who have been killed. Because if we didn't remember them, then society sure as hell would forget them.

As I said in my previous post, the last two years have been eye-opening. And these thoughts, especially the fact that this has been such a deadly year, weigh on me.

...

 You cannot have women's rights without also ensuring the rights of trans women too. And if ALL black lives matter to you, then black trans lives also need to matter. There are so many different ways in which class, race, gender, sex, as well as disability intersect with each other. We can't live our lives without your help, and we can't fight this sociopolitical battle that's trying to take everything from us on our own. So in order to one day have a world where trans people don't have to fear discrimination, face stigma, or deal with the reality of a society that wants us excluded and dead, we need you to stand with us.

If people want to come to protests armed, I'm not going to stop them, nor will I lament what happens to emboldened right-wingers who try to Rittenhouse their way into protests in other states that ultimately don't concern them. They wanna get capped? Whatever.

Although I will admit I randomly had the fleeting thought last night that we need to fundamentally change the nature of how protesting operates. We spent untold amounts of energy and money last year just to, what? Ultimately get one cop out of thousands of cops with flagrant records of abuse and murder convicted? Kinda put out the idea of reallocating the billions we spend on these pigs to actual social betterment only for it to die at the hands of conservatives and fuck-ass liberals redirecting the conversation away from that onto their petty issues with the "defund" slogan? Have dumbass anarchistic whites use the protests as cover to LARP the LARP they've always dreamed of LARPING? And remember, that was all under conditions exacerbated by pandemic shutdowns. Working class people could finally take to the streets because, well, they weren't really working. We will not get that opportunity again for another lifetime.

Yikes. Brb, firing off a quick e-mail to MOBA networks.

who could've predicted this

"we've tried being peaceful for so long with no change, we've done sit-ins and marches and get no results, it's time to get violent and destroy our local target that the disadvantaged in our community rely on for daily necessities, but fuck them because PEOPLE matter more than BUILDINGS"

I didn't mention anything about twitter, I said that the continued prominence and adoration of the Harry Potter IP goes hand in hand with her ability to influence people, like we've seen over the past year and a half. I'm suspect that a desire to see her cut materially from a future film, while allowing for some to feel better about engaging with it, would have a significant impact in this connection as it would sustain the IP and that that is tied to her in ways beyond money and contracts. The weight afforded to her is done so as the creator of the IP, not as a result of being the immediate beneficiary from it.

I think we can still fight J.K. Rowling and take the series from her. Maybe that is naive from me.

It's naive because it works under the assumption that despite that, people wouldn't continue to revere her and add weight to her words and opinions as the creator of the IP they're enjoying. It's also that you're working in a realm where the cost is a loss of your attachment to the IP and you're aiming to minimise that aspect, whereas the cost for trans people is lives, healthcare, safety, progress and general sentiment. So while minimising that cost is useful, the real goal is to pull it out at the root.

I'm shocked! Shocked! To see Kyuuji advocating a totalitarian worldview centered around what a single trans person wants.
