I dunno why a college will give you this idea given how little money they win by writing this or most writers having second gigs to afford living.

Nothing wrong with being a professional writer, or even an academic critic.

But fame & fortune and respect as a master of your craft are not the same fucking thing, so don't bitch if the work you do only holds commercial value and the insights you have are whatever pops into your head while you're taking a shit that you decide to share on twitter and not the result of stringent research and analysis.

Being a writer is like... the least possible fucking barriers to entry of any job going. The fact that there are people who command huge amounts of respect but aren't rich and famous, or the fact cushy lazy jobs that pay the bills are hotly contested isn't anyones fault, and it certainly isn't 'the establishment' telling 'lies' about meritocracy.

It's the chasm between your own self belief and your actual talent / skill.

I was really talking about this specific type of worthless essays where you just throw in patriarchy, colonialism, misogyny, capitalism, homophobia etc. and just cobble them together to say absolutely nothing except "these things are bad", call it "intersectionalism", then half-assedly try to relate it all to topic X and then pretend like that makes you an expert and authority on topic X.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Misgendering

Yeah pretty much. Hopefully Ezra gets the help he needs and stays out of trouble but I don't see this as a hot button issue offline.

He isn't famous enough, the franchise isn't established or big enough, and it comes out so far from now that most of this will be forgotten by then.

Mainly I hope WB helps him out work through whatever the issues are.

It’s pride month and I think about this a lot.

Overall the gaming industry rather cowardly and conservative when it comes to LGBT inclusion and moving away from white male hetero lead characters. Some publishers are so afraid of alienating the straight male demographic they often force developers into rewriting leads to fit this mold.

The industry is slowly becoming more accepting of LGBT main characters but they usually go for the cop out of bisexuality where you can choose who your character romances instead.

Now, bi/pan erasure is a terrible thing as a pan/no person myself I am familiar with this as I face experienced biphobua myself but bear with me here.

For outright purely gay same sex attracted only leads in AAA gaming there are also very few and pretty much all of them are women, why because cis hetero guys find the idea of lesbians hot. Again homophobia is encroaching, you can bet that any pitch featuring a gay male lead would get shot down pretty quick.

I am appealing to devs and publisher to break this cycle, stop relegating gay male characters to side characters that show up only only once or making them comic relief characters. TLOU2 showed that the oft repeated ”Go woke, go broke” slogan that bigots like to cart out to shoot down LGBT representation is a complete and utter fallacy. Which in truth has always been the case but sadly some execs do still buy into this.

As a queer guy, I want to see myself represented, proudly front and centre, you can break down the walls of hate, if you’re brave to take the first swing of the hammer.

Our inclusion will upset the heteros, so good luck.

Indie games pave the way forward for LGBTQIA+ representation, theyre creators that don’t get shot down by investors and bigots.

I’m not expecting any of the big boys to give us a single crumb.

(Anyway Chris Redfield is gay Capcom just haven’t said anything yet.)

I also disagree with the notion that we should completely handwave the concerns of feminists who have spoken out recently. We've even had people in here saying that Anita Sarkeesian should be ignored, as if she wouldn't know an online hate campaign when she sees one.

When she describes the verdict as "legally vindicated gaslighting" and claiming that if AH can't be believed then no other survivor can be believed... I mean that's pretty gross description of events, she literally does not recognize the abuse that Heard perpetrated against Depp.

It's dismissive of an abuse survivor's experience that is supported by evidence, and I'd say her words amount to victim blaming and gaslighting, too.

Why should we entertain this crap?

She also said that the online discourse over this trial puts women at risk. On that count, I believe her.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/johnny-depp-jury-finds-that-amber-heard-defamed-him-in-op-ed.590196/page-28#post-87790290

I'm not seeing that comment on her Twitter in regards to this trial.
Though I'd say that's kind of water is wet level commentary anyway, it's been going for a while and would have been the same regardless of whether or not Heard won or lost, lied or did not.

Difference is that because of left Twitter's absolutely asinine take on the verdict, including hers, we're seeing a bunch of right wing scammers luring people through coverage and other means. That's making things worse, but they're not taking responsibility, are they?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/johnny-depp-jury-finds-that-amber-heard-defamed-him-in-op-ed.590196/page-28#post-87793542

You can consider the opinions of people like Anita harmful to abuse victims and devoid of logic while still being concerned about how this verdict will effect women and the misogynistic narratives surrounding the case. She is not the arbiter of concern for women, disagreeing with her does not mean you do not care or support women nor that you're feeding right-wing rhetoric. And she's shown, as many others have on Twitter, that their biases on abuse are both dogmatic and harmful. I do not support any person who shares opinions that harm victims of abuse, no matter how many other things we agree on. I've been very disappointed at how many people I ordinarily agree with showing their arses on this.

[Nintex]

It's quite remarkable how they're still obsessed with this and the "right" has by all accounts mostly moved on within 24 hours of the verdict.

It's up to the people who know better to unite and mount a defense, even if you're not the one in the crosshairs that day, because there's always tomorrow that they will target you.

Just saying because Hap posts about BDubs had little to do with the idea of an Ukrainian Ethnostate and more with distaste for Russia perceived imperialism. And I’m just posting that Russia loves using this as a reason to make war to Ukraine and why I perceived that Hap post like a defense for Russia war.

"Every ethnic  Russian" being forcibly expelled comes a little too close to ethnic cleansing. Also, I'm mostly just shitposting, you don't need to put more thought into it than I do.

Part of why Ukraine didn't fall in a week is because the Russians in the East of Ukraine didn't allow the Russian army and rebels free passage like they did in 2014.

thing is, even if the science backs up the idea that everyone who says they are trans was born that way and can't help the dysphoria they feel, medically transitioning in various ways IS a decision

and if studies demonstrate that a person's quality of life/mental state goes down post-transition, or if there is reason to call into question studies on the subject, then there might be reason to call into question the whole process

it's not transphobic to want trans people to lead the best most fulfilling life possible, and advocate for decisions that could aid in this




think of any corrective medical procedures: imagine someone born with a condition that increases the chance their children would be born with mental defects, and to avoid the whole issue they undergo medical sterilization

couldn't there potentially be valid reasons to both encourage and discourage that course of action? on one hand you're ruining your chance of having children, on the other you're "taking steps to reduce the number of mentally disabled people in society"

But the posts you showcased about Bdubs have nothing to do with that, hence why I thought it was weird. An objectively speaking, Russia has been doing way worse during the conflict (obviously not justifying the idea of forced expulsion).

Holy shit 

Kotaku finally conceded 

Kimberly, who was prominently teased at the end of yesterday’s Street Fighter 6 presentation, will be the series’ first playable African-American woman. I really love her gigantic braids and walkman.

I was just trying to show that B-Dubs was posting in the thread right after that post, it was quoted during his conversation, so that he presumably saw it and that the poster still wasn't banned.

Every ethnic Russian must be kicked out of any Ukrainian territory after the war is over as most of them were illegaly moved there anyway and it would take away any justification of keeping those territories.

An ethnostate?

lol they just banned him. He wasn’t banned before I checked an hour ago.

This is actually what Zelensky is worried about. He predicts that if Ukraine wins the war, it will become like Israel. An enclave for Ukrainians which is armed to the teeth and closed off for most foreigners.

It's actually a very serious situation. You're literally talking about a domestic abuse situation where a person had part of their finger cut off.

Grubb is mocking an abuse victim and claiming anyone taking the victim's "side" hates women. And if he's going to make such a horrible statement on a public platform, he opens himself up to being called out on it.

I'm on Zeo's side here.  Criticism is allowed for all sorts of figures there regardless of if the thread calls for it or not.  Again, were the genders flipped, you'd see a lot of "dismissing concerns" bans for anyone ridiculing the trial and the people that cared about it.

Don't know if Grubb would be banned or not based on that, but I doubt Era would allow people that stood by Vic Mignogna to have an account for very long even if they were industry connected like Reuben Langdon.

If you exhibit symptoms of terminal poster brain such as these, you need to log off and go outside.

The local parliamentary leader of the Greens (biggest third party in Australian politics) has gone off the rails and possibly tanked her political career over this trial, and it’s not the first time she’s fallen down one of these holes (posted a lot of questionable stuff about the CCP last year) . Some people just can’t handle being online, the same way that some people can’t hold their liquor.
