And traumatized people don't exist in normal conditions.

The murderers were the traumatized ones, not the elderly man getting beaten to death.

Tim has far more Hollywood pull than Dave. Sure, Comedy Central and Netflix set him up for life, but if this dude comes out of the woodwork to shit on you it’s probably time to listen. He’s a name you don’t piss off.

So the guy I just had to Google who's thing seems to be mostly niche nerd shit has more pull than Dave Chapelle? Do they not know that it's possible dislike someone who is very rich and famous without going into 'actually they're a bum no one cares about' fantasy land, and also if they're a bum no one cares about why are they so dangerous?

[ShutUp]

Not calling anyone out in particular but in these threads it’s almost like people get joy and satisfaction from finally being able to comment on black crime without fear of a ban, which is why you see some of these bloodthirsty takes. Lock em up for life, death penalty, “animals”, etc.

They murdered a man and laughed while doing it. What would you like people to call them? Misunderstood?

That's part of the problem, innit?

Honestly, this thread was reported way too late in the game as a "shock thread" and allowed to be left open as a result. Some decent discussion came out of it, but let's be honest.

This shit is a hotbed of liberal racism and people are way too comfortable showing themselves out.

I'm not happy with it, and I apologize to everyone for the negligence. Staff will be combing through this thread post by post.

We ban people for being livid and wanting murderers locked up now and call them racists in the process. Oh and it was “reported as a shock thread”

 

I…uh. Yeah. Gonna need someone to just link to that thread next time white teens kill someone and sit back and watch chaos ensue.

14-year-olds get carried away. They beat him and he succumbed to his injuries. I live in Philly. I have seen it all in my city. We had frequent flash mobs 10 years ago. folks randomly punching people in the face and running. jumping folks. It's bad. But this is what kids do. This is chaos. Surely they didn't mean to kill him and yes their actions played a huge factor in his death. But to call them animals and change them into adults and not rehabilitation having them in juvie furthers the school to prison pipeline and fails children, especially Black children.

If racist kids are never responsible for their racism, how do you then blame those same kids when they go on to be racist adults?

You can't.

There's no throughline between victim and victimizer.

I think I am less infuriated by the typical "kids" angle than I am of the intent by all these sudden convenient newcomers across these two threads reposting the Twitter thread by Arlen Parsa and similar sentiments to protect these racist asshats under the guise that it "doesn't solve the issue" and "makes you out to be a mob as well."

The suggested call to action is instead to fix the root causes of the problem by "lifting up the heroes." Yes, fix the root causes of the problem by ignoring them altogether and instead lying to the vocal bystanders and actual victims that everything is going to be okay in a situation where it's been made expressly clear that nothing will be done because punishing white people for their racism is, in some way, always unjust.

Kid trolls people, never actually touches them? Fuck that bastard, he knew what he was doing. Smug incel.

Kids laugh while beating a man to death? Now lets hold on here, this is all really sad and tragic and I feel for the victim but we need to work with these kids who clearly didn’t know what they were doing. Let me link to stuff that says shit like this

approximately one third of 11 to 13 year olds and approximately one fifth of 14 to 15 year olds are as impaired in capacities relevant to adjudicative competence as are seriously mentally ill adults who would likely be considered incompetent to stand trial.

So a fact checker took a look at this story and concluded that it's hard to find evidence because of privacy laws so he ranked it "maybe true, maybe false"

Let me try to understand this "not as black and white as you are trying to make it" situation.

A bunch of teenagers:

• started harassing on camera an elderly homeless man who tried to get away
• they then started beating the shit out of him with a traffic cone while laughing about it
• the old man died
• the teenagers should be dealt with kindly by the law based on nothing more than the socio-economic background of the kids
• if you don't agree, eat a three month ban.

Have I got this straight?

Boseman was a hero to a lot of kids who needed representation.

But T’Challa himself was possibly an even bigger hero. I really felt pain that little black kids lost both their Black Panthers.

Seems like in most endeavors if something has a 50 percent chance of failing, most people wouldn’t try it. But that’s where we are with marriage. That said I’m personally not anti marriage, but it does seem it should be taken more seriously, with much more stringent vetting requirements and perhaps a legal bailout period, like a warranty lol.

 

It's only a "success rate" from the premise that it should last forever. Just like other relationships, some marriages end amicably or because something has run its course between partners and we've made a lot of progress in giving people the tools to do so.
I dunno, the beep boop I'm an alien tone rubs me the wrong way.

I’m legit waiting for this to release in D+ because of the lead. Seems like an absolutely cursed production.

Some are really trying to get worked up about this particular film for which barely any footage has been seen. Oh no, some supporting role isn't coming back, the film is doomed ! Somehow not recasting the main part means the movie will fail at black representation (isn't most of the lead artistic team reconducted from the previous film ?)

This is good. Let BP 2 fail and they can set the franchise back on track.

[Transhuman]

Marriage is a sham, but not because they sometimes end. People who have faith their relationship will last don't get the government involved. If you think your partner actually loves you you'd make it as legally easy as possible for them to leave you, hoping that they won't. If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were.

She turned out to be right, not only did that smirking racist MAGA white kid not get punished at all for his blatant racism he got paid a bunch of money by The Washington Post, CNN and NBCUniversal for his racism and then was further rewarded with giving a speech to the 2020 RNC.

It's not hard for me to imagine that if the Covington kids had been thrown in prison for life for their unrepentant racism that James Lambert might still be alive today rather than having died from wounds he received during an unplanned for event of chaos which may have involved unknown others.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I dunno why they keep repeating that “society and poverty” is the justification when most also admitting most people don’t murder old folk when they are teenagers.

Yes, socioeconomic issues are the cause overall of this kind of stuff, but arguing that rehabilitating someone is an end for all.

It's not that its that eye brow raising to argue these points, especially in regards to appropriate punishment for crimes from a liberal / left leaning perspective.

It's that its only popping up under extremely specific circumstances, but desperate white trash still get the regular "hope you get butt-fucked in prison" era replies.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

This is the best critique so far. People do not understand that a real women with bodily autonomy choosing how they dress or act is different than a fictional women being created to dress or act a certain way by other people, usually men. How can the latter be empowering and sex positive? Makes little sense.

Because you can represent those real women in a videogame? Like how is this hard to understand? We constantly represent types of people that exist in real life in fiction. That's what the whole call for representation is about you dumb dumb

arguing from one side of your mouth that characters arent real therefore no 'agency' concerns matter, while simultaneously arguing out the other side of your mouth that it doesnt matter if the characters are real because the responses to them are is some real have your cake and eat it bullshit

If you think your partner actually loves you you'd make it as legally easy as possible for them to leave you, hoping that they won't. If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were.

In fairness, the fact the government draws distinctions between married / not married in mundane aspects of citizenship like tax codes, power of attorney, inheritance etc means there are tangible reasons to declare yourself legally married (and the reason why gay marriage is important from a civics perspective, its not just to piss off religious folks who are looking at it solely as a religious ceremony).

A fair criticism would be "why would the government give a shit about which citizens are single or not", but... you know. They do, so you gotta accommodate that.

It's even better because in this case Bayonetta has a woman designer so they imply that the lead producer forced her to accommodate his fetishes. Literally no actual or fictional women involved have any agency unless they agree with the complainers.

And representing any of these women, unlike everyone else who deserves representation at all times in all games, is also bad because women will be misled into thinking such representation is good.

This weird stigma surrounding recasting needs to change.

A man died and that's terrible but the real tragedy here is that I don't get more of the content I want.

Absolutely. But I think it's fair to wait for the movie to actually be seen before judging if they make this constraint / choice forced by unfortunate circumstances work. Hiring new actors for the same role is common, but so is having a different character don the mask.

It's reasonable to worry that the convoluted production might impact the film but it reads a little like some people are trying to preemptively find things to get disappointed or sour about. Doubly weird because it's Black Panther.

This is the best critique so far. People do not understand that a real women with bodily autonomy choosing how they dress or act is different than a fictional women being created to dress or act a certain way by other people, usually men. How can the latter be empowering and sex positive? Makes little sense.

Because you can represent those real women in a videogame? Like how is this hard to understand? We constantly represent types of people that exist in real life in fiction. That's what the whole call for representation is about you dumb dumb

arguing from one side of your mouth that characters arent real therefore no 'agency' concerns matter, while simultaneously arguing out the other side of your mouth that it doesnt matter if the characters are real because the responses to them are is some real have your cake and eat it bullshit

It's even better because in this case Bayonetta has a woman designer so they imply that the lead producer forced her to accommodate his fetishes. Literally no actual or fictional women involved have any agency unless they agree with the complainers.

And representing any of these women, unlike everyone else who deserves representation at all times in all games, is also bad because women will be misled into thinking such representation is good.

If only there was some resource where the designer detailed how she created the character 

What's this??

When we started Bayonetta, our director, Hideki Kamiya, asked me to design a character with three traits:
1)    A Female Lead
2)    A Modern Witch
3)    She Uses Four Guns

When a female character appears in an action game, her limbs often seem thin and short. That is why I tried to make her more appealing as an action game character by adjusting her proportions and extending her limbs.

Then I went about finishing up her clothing, which you can see below!

When she summons these Infernal Demons, she is using all of her power, so she has no time to control the hair wrapped around her body and thus she ends up in more “comfortable” attire. The exciting way she looks in this state is one of the parts of Bayonetta that I love.

Literally the only thing Kamiya pushed for were the glasses

Glasses! This was something that Kamiya-san really pushed for, as he was aiming to differentiate Bayonetta from other female characters and give her a sense of mystery and intelligence. Of course, I think it is just because he likes girls with glasses

Poor woman is basically crying for help

Conceptually, we were also looking to make Bayonetta “fashionable,” and I designed her so that this sense of fashion came through in all the little details, not just the glasses.

That is the story behind Bayonetta’s final design. I think I was able to put my feelings into her design, and she ended up a strong female character.

Marriage is a sham, but not because they sometimes end. People who have faith their relationship will last don't get the government involved. If you think your partner actually loves you you'd make it as legally easy as possible for them to leave you, hoping that they won't. If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were.

In fairness, the fact the government draws distinctions between married / not married in mundane aspects of citizenship like tax codes, power of attorney, inheritance etc means there are tangible reasons to declare yourself legally married (and the reason why gay marriage is important from a civics perspective, its not just to piss off religious folks who are looking at it solely as a religious ceremony).

A fair criticism would be "why would the government give a shit about which citizens are single or not", but... you know. They do, so you gotta accommodate that.

In Australia you are considered to be in a de facto relationship if you've been together as a couple for at least 2 years, and shorter if you have a kid together, and it comes with more or less the same kind of asset division on death/seperation that a married couple might be entitled to provided there's no will or anything like that. Although having a will and power of attorney organised should be something everyone should get sorted, regardless of whether they're in a relationship or single.

Of course, I think it is just because he likes girls with glasses

See, she admits it. Bayonetta only exists because of the sick sexual deviant fetishes of an once white-adjacent cishet male.

It absolutely seems like a poor use of money. The two systems really feel like a 'pick one or the other' kind of thing for people with both platforms. You're not going to be able to get the maximum value out of either one on a month to month basis if you're paying for both.

No subscription service is going to be worth it to someone who rapidly refreshes that forum to get the first reply in as often as possible every single day.

I also have to ask how many people own both platforms that aren't already buying all the games they want? Surely someone who owns both platforms and wants access to a large library of older titles to play inbetween their occasional new games would be an incredibly niche person. I have to imagine they're even more niche than a person who owns both platforms and will subscribe anyway because they're well... the kind of person who becomes a ResetERA.com member. An idiot like PlanetSmasher subscribing while never playing anything seems less niche than this theoretical person does.
