Yeah. Problem is, often by their own admission, they don’t enjoy this stuff anymore. This at least gives them engagement and a little rush in a familiar place. Feel like the healthy thing would be to explore other media or hobbies that actually make them happy.

All I’m saying is, Marvel used Elon as an inspiration for movie Iron Man. Even gave him a cameo. And helped sell the idea of tech billionaires being our saviors. DC meanwhile had its tech billionaire as the villain. A spiteful petty dork who manipulated the media and governments (and sometimes urinate in jars ???). Iron Man pissed himself wearing his WMD suit at a party and everybody cheered.

Ergo, vis a vis, concordantly… Marvel killed democracy or free speech or whatever

Nobody is looking for controversy, we are looking to protect ourselves from racism and transphobia. We do this because it's easier on each person to help the other with that bigotry.

Lots of people don't want to accept that transphobia even exists, they don't exactly advertise it on the back of the box. That's why I need to weed out that information.

Just as a reminder, they're talking about videogames and comic book movies

The maths from the given information (without the adjustment for leap years) checks out, however I'd urge caution in concluding that the wait is 35+ years. For one, the clinic says that "based on [their] current patients on the routine waiting list, the maximum wait time as at the end of October 2022 was 220 weeks", implying that the average wait time is lower than that (which is still likely to be insanely long anyway). It should also be noted that this is one Trust out of the very few that offer gender dysphoria services, and therefore may not be representative of the waiting times of other clinics (an NHS Trust is an entity that oversees the health provision of an area).

The UK at the moment is suffering from very long waiting lists across the board as well, and gender dysphoria services have definitely seen a disproporionate amount of strain (the paediatric services are currently undergoing an overhaul).

Fuck outta here with your 'context' downplaying systemic transphobia

That's 35 years and then some more just to receive literal (sic) life saving healthcare.

Not one of them actually question if the underfunded, understaffed and over burdened NHS is deliberately choosing to genocide the trans, or has been forced to put what limited resources it has into actual life saving surgery.

It doesn't help 'the cause' that the largest gender reassignment specialist clinic in the UK (Tavistock) was shut down after a fucking damning internal review of its "catastrophic failings" because it was being run by a trans activist pushing the "affirmation" model, which resulted in whistle blowing and legal action against it.

For me it began with a graph. In 2017 [...] My journalistic curiosity was sparked

Quote
It wasn’t the parents’ views that surprised me when I began my own research, but clinicians within the Tavistock who were both desperate to speak out and terrified of being identified. So we met in discreet cafés, with one clinical psychologist driving across London to my home while heavily pregnant.

good job protecting your sources' anonymity

To me, this sounds like an elaborate dodge of the question. The locations they've shown in the trailer are pretty diverse and different. They could've included more diverse people to their settings if they wanted to.

Not to mention the question asked was a straightforward "will there be black people" and we got several paragraphs.

Because then you'd claim he's racist?

How dare he explain the game's geography

Quote
Our design concept from the earliest stages of development has always heavily featured medieval Europe, incorporating historical, cultural, political, and anthropological standards that were prevalent at the time. When deciding on a setting that was best suited to the story we wanted to tell—the story of a land beset by the Blight—we felt that rather than create something on a global scale, it was necessary to limit the scope it to a single landmass — one geographically and culturally isolated from the rest of the world in an age without airplanes, television, or telephones.

Due to the underlying geographical, technological, and geopolitical constraints of this setting, Valisthea was never going to realistically be as diverse as say a modern-day Earth...or even Final Fantasy XIV that has an entire planet (and moon) worth of nations, races, and cultures at its disposal. The isolated nature of this realm, however, does end up playing a large part in the story and is one of the reasons Valisthea's fate is tied to the rest of the world.

Also hard to take any of those people seriously when they say that a fantasy game has no excuse to be historically accurate when they also got mad as fuck about kingdom come deliverance, which tried to be as historically accurate as possible. Just admit that you'll accept no excuse for lack of diversity

Quote from: Jonnykong
Sorry you've had to put up with this :(

Oh another note, this kind of thing contributes towards why I find it hard to trust a lot of reviews cos how are we supposed to know how honest a critic is being when they might be worried about the backlash they're going to get from gamers being dicks about their score.
I think it goes both ways.

If the majority of reviewers score a game, and one reviewer comes in with an outlier score... that review gets more attention because everyone wants to know why. So naturally, such a review would draw more scrutiny. Now if the reviewer has solid points as o why the score was lower or whatever, then no one can really say anything. If the reviewer does that thing where he/she seems to manufacture a problem that for whatever reason only applies to the one game when its something that in truth applies to every game....then well... it won't end well.

Its opinions and all.. but while it sucks... it's also the opinions and right of those that dislike the review not to like it. You can`t write how you feel about something and then take issue with people writing how they feel about what you write...

It sucks... and a lot of people cross lines and aren't constructive... but that is the nature of the industry. How do you think devs that worked 3 years on a game (even frightfully so) feel when a reviewer says their game is garbage?

True, they really got that into their heads without ever explaining why some small villages in Bohemia would be diverse. Merchants or foreign diplomats wouldn't exactly settle in some small scrap of land, far away from any large city

since you can write whatever you want, why would you be so bigoted as to design a fantasy world where no one is trans?

With Kingdom Come, weren't they arguing that it wasn't historically accurate because ackchually medieval Bohemia was highly diverse?

Then people argued that it was set in some shithole backwater not in Prague so the chances of a non white being there would be near zero, so the argument turned to well yer man Vavra set it there on purpose cos he hates black people.

Game sux btw. I get what they were going for but it wasn't enjoyable at all.

What a fucking thread title.  Guy was a complete piece of shit as a kid, took his lumps and went to juvie, cleaned his behavior up and made something of himself and doesn't behave like he did as a kid, leaving behind his shitty past.   
Fucking crazy how these people will look at juveniles who brutally murder an old man in the streets with blunt force while laughing and see them as redeemable, but not this guy.  Gee, I wonder why. 



If you don't believe in peoples' capacity to change, what is the point of educating people or 'doing the work'.  Or whatever?  You don't want a better world, you want endless conflict because it makes you feel like the good guy.  It's incredible cynical to think the worldview and attitude of a child will never change into adulthood.  Why bother with anything if you believe that?

Let me explain it to you.

Black people deserve second and third chances. White people barely deserve their first chance.

Happy to help.

Yes, well the concept of 'deserve' is an idea that never escapes a racial context for them - whether it comes to punishment or credits.  Scary shit.

the way its phrased makes it sound like they literally lynched someone, but its that they gave a distinguished mentally-challenged kid a candy bar theyd wiped in the toilet beforehand and laughed when he ate it?

Thats shitty, but is that life ruining with no hope of redemption shitty?

He attacked the guy while calling him racial slurs.  That's pretty bad.   It's bad like how Mike Tyson raped a woman and went to jail, paid his debt to society, and got to go back to his sports career and now is beloved and treated with respect for his contribution to his field.  Only, Mike wasn't a juvenile.

Still sucks, though. A more honest reason would be “well, we’re all kinda racist and would probably do a piss poor job of depicting non-white characters cuz we just can’t help ourselves.“ But c’mon! Fix your hearts! That’s literally what all of your games are about!

I think at this point they have completely forgotten that the devs are non-white.

Bunch of 40 year old white shut ins trying to tell a Japanese developer what’s what about non-white characters. Put these losers on a shuttle and just aim it in the general direction of Pluto.

I can get on board with this.  It's the same with the "bad design," costumes in video games.  Maybe if you knew about clothing design it would mean something but it's just how many square inches of skin is revealed and that equals bad design. 

Bad design, Ver-chase

Why do you feel obligated to mess with people's property without their consent?

There's clearly a reason he waits for people to be out of sight before doing it. It's because he knows, and already admitted to me earlier, that messing with people's property without their stated consent is wrong. But he does it anyway.

This level of compulsion and disregard for boundaries isn't normal, and shows a general lack of respect towards others that would rightfully warrant getting dressed down. In the case of certain folks who may just have dealt with a life where this lack of respect for boundaries is common for one reason or another, where people come in and ruffle through their belongings, this is a slight worthy enough of being told to just fuck off.


This from a person who when a Target is burned down in a riot says, "wow, people care more about that that about issues?" or who will openly call for "real action,"  ;) for her issues and if you don't agree with open violence you are a centrist.

He will have had made three Marvel movies but wonder if James Gunn ultimately feels the same about Marvel’s output. His Suicide Squad was pure Gunn through and through and he got to be violent like he was known for before GOTG. Guardians pushed a few “edgier” buttons here and there but never got to go all the way due to needing to be family friendly in the end. Him becoming the guy behind DC movies moving forward sure seems to say he loves the freedom they gave him making Suicide Squad and Peacemaker.
