Frozen 2 and the last Spider-Man movie had more stories of violence than Joker. Just last year there was a theater shooting during a Purge movie. Nobody was dumb enough to blame those movies.

I miss when everybody made fun of Jack Thompson, warnings on rap CDs, winners don’t do drugs.

Realize that people can find alot of jokes funny from a comedian but not every joke? Accept that not everyone is incapable of separating the artist from the art?

It's not ideal, I wish people would work to have their brain work to shut out toxic influences but that's not always possible. It's when you put that out into the world or when you somehow materially support the individual that is the issue I have. If people wouldn't do that, bad people would not have the platform they have, there would be nothing in it for them.
I am a fan of sports. I can’t imagine how many athletes are pieces of shit. I’m not going to stop watching because many are. OJ Simpson probably killed two people, doesnt take away he was one of the greatest running backs ever.

Shit people exist in every space. People who hold certain views that are offensive but not other views exist. I will take there is to take and leave what i want to leave.

At least you can laugh at Ben Garrison, you leftist untalented hacks.

Does this comic even make sense when he's complaining about being canceled and not silenced? He seems to specifically refer to his theatre production getting canceled.

It's just back again to claiming that canceling people doesn't exist while they instead could at least be so honest and talk about how he deserves to get canceled.

From the Joker thread

Quote
I love how they're doing everything in their power to try to mask that this is just a movie about american super hero villains. Casting off-genre method actors; accentuate the themes of mental illness because it sounds more mature that way; make the sequel another genre entirely; give it a literal french subtitle that has the word "two" in it and is an outdated term for a psychiatric disorder because calling it "JOKER 2" would be unbelievably tone deaf and tacky; he just went to town.

Todd just really really likes Taxi Driver and hates the fact that for his entire career he was stuck making stoner comedies, and he was given the job of making a movie about a cartoon clown and he was like,

"I'll show them. I'll show them all."

Todd truly lives in a society.

 :umad

A new Joker movie and a new round of salty Era posters is truly here

In my case, it's a communication breakdown.

They took all of our physical phones once we started work remote. I got a software phone. I started during COVID, and the directory for my team was never updated. So outside of my supervisor, I don't think anyone knows my phone number.

Then there's tickets. Someone submits a request for service. Often, it doesn't have a reason selected, they just say what's wrong in the notes. But if you don't select a reason, it goes into the general queue, and folks rarely check that. The issue gets glossed over, and it will be days before anyone addresses your ticket.

So, because of that, while I do have projects I work on, I've only handled 10 tickets this year. I maybe get 1 call a month.

Government.
The problem is not that I'm too lazy to go to the office or read the tickets and don't do the job I'm paid to do, the problem is Government.

I bet those projects are posting on ResetEra and pooping.

But that's my experience with government also, you pay peanuts you get monkeys often lazy ones.
A certain type of person likes to work for the government, usually not the creative types.

Warhawk4Ever is a dumb dumb who I'm still not convinced isn't somebody's alt but when has he ever trolled? Especially compared to many prominent members who have basically never really been banned?

His "consistent history of trolling" looks like a single shitpost about a game looking bad and telling people to not take Twitter seriously?

A guy posting that long and that consistently on the site is "trolling" when he's willing to yet again post a dissenting opinion from the prominent members? Just be honest and say you're banning him because Kyuuji is so massively privileged that they can't handle someone telling them not everything is about them.

If so, that's pretty underhanded.  Because when I read tweets like this:  https://twitter.com/BenKuchera/status/1555731713954832431

It seems that the people that fired him were explicitly dealing with his kids' abusers in a direct capacity.  If he means that his kids' abusers were sided with tacitly because of the firing, then.... :snoop

The best thing about this is the casualness of bare feet. Like in the summer you can see a lot of bare feet everywhere, whereas you obviously won't be seeing bare boobs or bare ass everywhere.
Surprised that ILikeFeet dude isn't in that thread.

Ok so. . . Ben's kids were getting sexually abused by Polygon because they got vaxxed, so in retaliation Chris Plante rewrote all his reviews before firing him? His tweets make absolutely no sense (not that they ever really did)
Edit: lmao 12 hours ago he tweeted something along the lines of MEDIA TRAINING IS ESSENTIAL FOR POSITIONS LIKE MINE

Yeah Kuchera is having a mental meltdown and should probably be taken in charge by health professionals if he's not already.

He just deleted all his tweets back to like 2012 then immediately tweeted again:

He's still vaguely threatening legal action in his replies. Arthur Gies refused to speculate when reached for comment.

He deleted his replies right after I posted... Ben are you in here with us?

How nice of other game journos to not jump on this story. I'm sure they'd show the same restraint if it wasn't about colleagues

Just realized that capcom should get ahead of any controversy and have a woman commentator ready for launch. I'm not sure who it would be though.

This is how I think Ben's story goes, Ben wanted time off to Vax his kids.
They probably said no because the request came in late whatever. They then told him to work saturday instead to make up for the time lost. He brought his kids with him to Polygon where they were according to him sexually assaulted. Probably because someone was playing the new Xenoblade or another piece of japanese art and the kids watched and a lewd comment was made either on screen or by someone playing.
