I also like how part of the "damning evidence" in the OP a bunch in the thread are whining about is how they decided on a male character because of Rey. I'm so tired of male fragility.

At least it stopped them from gross fetishization of a woman main character.

In a May 5 message to employees viewed by The Post, Blizzard President Mike Ybarra wrote, “I realize we are late and I am sorry. It has been incredibly stressful for Blizzard (and me personally) as we read the news.” He said that he had met with leadership to discuss how the company would address the situation on May 4. “I realize this isn’t very helpful, but I’m being honest with where we are and what we are discussing across the company.”

“Right now, within Activision, there are many employees distracted and scared for the future,” said Emily Knief, a senior motion graphic designer at Blizzard who is trans. “Mr. Kotick made a commitment to improve the working conditions of the many lives that work under him and make Activision the best company it can be. And I can say without hesitation that, as of right now, he’s failing all of us.”

The Mother’s Day strike runs from May 8 through May 15 and asks participants to stop working, shopping and eating out as a way to protest the possibility that Roe v. Wade could be overturned.

“We’re still scrambling for organization right now,” said Javiera Cordero, an indie developer who is participating in the Mother’s Day strike and compiling resources for best organizing practices. “As a trans person, this is directly related to me, because this is about the stripping of bodily autonomy from individuals. This is where trans issues are directly related to feminist issues like abortion rights.”

“I don’t know how long I can continue to live in this country and actually feel like they care about us,” said an indie game developer in Chicago who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of online harassment after what happened to Bungie. She is participating in the Mother’s Day strike with permission from her studio, which was supportive. The studio declined to provide a statement.

God of war
2018 is so dull and im not a dad so i dont care for the parent dynamic.

It was OK when he only killed his own family, makes a lot of cruelty action and be terrible with women. You could relate at that time?

*reads thru my post*

hmm could you point to me where i said that? im a bit lost.

jeez just because i dont care for a parent child dynamic doesnt mean i said i can relate with what you just said. stop being one of those internet posters who thinks they can read between lines and create narratives out of thin air. some times it feels like you have to eli5 everything you type on the internet so you dont get nonsensical replies like yours.

No no. You said "im not a dad so i dont care for the parent dynamic" which is a stupid reason and why I pointed to you what he was before being a dad.

i guess. you should know how nonsensical it is to reply to someone asking them if they could relate with kratos atrocities because they cant relate with the fatherlty aspect of reboot gow. maybe take a moment to understand how poor in taste your post is.

Making a nonsensical response to you nonsensical first post was the whole point you failed to understood.

I don't care if you liked the game or not (I think it's over rated). But saying "I am not X so I can't relate to Y" is why we are still playing cis white dude most of the time.

And it seems you liked RDR 2 and Arthur. I don't think you relate with a cow boy becoming obsolete because the Wild West is ending. Or you are a very old man.

i didnt fail to understand, i just dont think poor treatement of women, killing your family, and atrocities are a gotcha to someone saying they cant relate to father child dynamics in a game like you seem to think.

Why did you liked him at that time then?

Try to actually realize that there are people behind these posts who are doing things in real life, meeting people, spending money or work hours or marching with friends and family for equality and diversity...and then realize that you call them out for" willfully lifting from the alt-right-playbook" because they thought a scene in a Marvel show written by the screenwriter of Fant4stic was a bit shit.

So a transperson claims to be attacked first and says to the police at the time of confrontation that they have it on video as well and gets arrested anyways without police viewing that video and the police person specifically saying "so?" but Era needs all the proofs?

I'm amazed some people are confused why people are upset about women being told they should respect the opinions of those who seek to take their rights from them.

They are not confused. They just don't want to say what they really think about the topic

Oh I know but they're being coy so I have to be a little more discrete than just @'ing them and telling them to shut the fuck up.

I hope the mods ban these people because it's exhausting

And honestly, I find it impossible to believe that someone is so empty-headed that they accidentally make a "know their place" comment in a statement where they're both-sidesing the curtailing of women's rights.

Dude is either an asshole or an idiot, but I'm leaning toward asshole because you don't get to be the CEO of a company as massive as Playstation while being stupid enough to make a mistake like this accidentally. It's not a "whoopsie!"

So glad I didn't buy any God of Wars after II, or a PS3, or a PS4, or a PS5, or a PSP, or a Vita and won't buy God of War (2018) on PC until its price is low enough right now.
