This is anecdotal, but it just simply puzzles me when I see someone who is claiming to have a very strong feeling regarding a VG company and a game that releases due to moral reasons, but then proceeded to play the game anyways, day 1, and even using VPN to unlock the game earlier, even using justification saying that they have the game gifted to them and so it's okay since they're not buying it like WTF, why does it make any difference since the person gifting the game for them also give money to the company.

Stuff like that puzzles me. People that justify stuff to make themselves feel better about doing things they're supposedly railing against in the first place, at least be honest with it.
Yikes, I don't feel safe on ResetERA.com right now. It's just like Kyuuji said:

There is no accountability or consequence for transphobia. Full stop. Every excuse under the sun is pulled out to justify why action can't be taken.

And this is why Kyuuji is a straight up cunt. Saying shit like that while she also already has Black Panther tickets pre-ordered

one time I got scammed

the annihilus charm is really good but it's rare to be online when uber d triggers so it's hard to get your hands on one, I spent a long time cubing up pgems and then trading the pgems for hirunes and found somebody selling a low roll anni for a few ists, and we met in the rogue encampment to do the trade, he put it in the trade window and I hovered over it to check and he was like oops just a sec and took it back and put it up again, and I accepted the trade and said thanks and he said "NO, THANK YOU" and left and it turned out he put back in mephisto's soulstone which is just a quest item and happens to look identical because the devs were lazy

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression one of the draws of US military service is that it provides you with 'free' healthcare and a collegiate level education

These people imagine the military to be a boondoggle of all boondoggles.

It's a lot of money, sure, but it's also discretionary spending. And it employs a lot of people; keeps our pals in Europe, etc. safe; and it creates a lot of new technology.

They always talk about cancelling people. Just terrified to admit it’s a real thing because they need to believe they are above the Trumpers out there. Way to want to hurt the bottom line of the game that will let you create a trans character if you want to though, Era. Here’s some money to go get tickets for BP2 this Friday.

hundreds of games go by every day that either force you to play as a white male or still have male/female character creator options, not a peep from era

cyberpunk 2077 the most aggressively queer high budget game ever released, huge billboards that look like cho aniki and are bound to make conservatives uncomfortable, let you play as non binary or trans or whatever you want and they absolutely hate it

What an amazing bunch of assholes. First they imply that Yoshida must be transphobic by saying that he must have not been involved with this and then, when proven wrong, they say disingenuous shit like "oh just because he says trans rights he can't be racist, huh?" something no one was arguing.

The military is one of those concepts they only relate to through comic book movies.  In their mind John McCain was a war criminal possibly because he volunteered.  A former marine in the Chapelle slap thread said he avoided violence in his life and was dogpiled because he was former military. For them the army is just people with guns who kill poor people because everyone in the military is dumb and violent.

Among all the stupid ban reasoning on that shithole place, this "across multiple posts" thing is particularly idiotic, especially in light of the "drive-by trolling" bullshit they pull.

So, if you post once, it's a drive-by, if you stick around to argue your point it's "across multiple posts".

Why don't they just admit they're arbitrary cunts who ban people based on their menstrual cycle?

Quote from: crienne, post: 96156294, member: 4463

Then the opening movie had a lingering ass shot of one of the characters in a catsuit and now I'm not so sure.



This led to me reading other threads here about the weird dissonance between the story it wants to tell and the actions of the characters. For an example, from what I can gather [ISPOILER]the catsuit character's intro revolves around sexual assault and power dynamics[/ISPOILER]. If done well, I can see how this could be a powerful character intro and setup for future arcs. Then I read that later [ISPOILER]one of the main characters, or their teammates(?), pressure her to get naked for a painting or something[/ISPOILER].



I'm not trying to say that this makes the game bad, and it doesn't make *YOU* bad for liking P5:R, but I will say that if this sort of thing is a constant issue (not just sexualization, but weird tonal dissonance) then I'll likely not play it as I've got other things begging for my time.



Side note: This sort of thing is why most JRPGs don't interest me anymore. Not that the old-school ones were different, necessarily, but my attitude has changed quite a bit as I've aged and I find it harder to enjoy games that have trouble treating their female and/or minority characters (if those even exist) in a respectful way. Again, I want to be clear, this is not an attack on those that enjoy these games. It's just an attack on the games themselves.

We have chosen to focus on a specific corner of the world that is more isolated, so we will have less ethnic variety compared to what you might expect in FF14 or on earth and so we apologise in advance if you are not represented.

This is what I got from his statement too. If he had just said this, I think there would be a lot less controversy but unfortunately he went into unneccessary and inaccurate justifications.

That's literally what he said you chucklefucks. There's no answer you'd ever accept

They clearly avoided putting any 'Gaijin' in the game. I don't know why they do this so often. Historical setting is such a bogus argument given the fictional setting.

I'm amazed we got Forspoken even.

The game is full of gaijin you dumb motherfucker, Jesus Christ

I always felt BP was the only marvel movie that really had something to say; despite what part of it exists as a superhero fantasy. It's not perfect by the end, but I do like the layers it had. Anyways looking forward to FD's thoughts. He's incredible (you can tell he was a teacher before heh)

It's the Macklemore of the MCU.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/why-does-the-us-spend-almost-800-billion-a-year-on-the-military-but-cant-afford-universal-health-care-or-free-college.651540/

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression one of the draws of US military service is that it provides you with 'free' healthcare and a collegiate level education

These people imagine the military to be a boondoggle of all boondoggles.

It's a lot of money, sure, but it's also discretionary spending. And it employs a lot of people; keeps our pals in Europe, etc. safe; and it creates a lot of new technology.

The military is one of those concepts they only relate to through comic book movies.  In their mind John McCain was a war criminal possibly because he volunteered.  A former marine in the Chapelle slap thread said he avoided violence in his life and was dogpiled because he was former military. For them the army is just people with guns who kill poor people because everyone in the military is dumb and violent.

The logic is so opaque you can claim any tax paying American is responsible for drone strike casualties.

The best part is that people in the military come from poorer and minority backgrounds at a much larger rate than the population as a whole and basically every industry that ResetERA.com worships as being the vanguard in the existential culture wars. This is what leads them to their fallback position of "oh, they're just stupid and were brainwashed by whites" because they desperately need to have their blind hatred appear to be one of virtue rather than ignorance and bigotry even if it requires them to take up the reactionary position that poor minorities are just stupid and easily manipulated.

Man sleeping in his car says tenants owe more than $31K, won't leave his rental property

People lose their fucking minds when it comes to landlords and will ALWAYS see it in black and white despite there being a ton of nuance in many cases.

Guy I know that worked in town got into a really bad accident and ended up unable to work anymore.  Ended up renting out a place he inherited from a family member.  He effectively doesn't have any family or friends at this point and the state doesn't give a shit about him, so if he went an extended time without tenets, he'd be homeless and then dead within a month because he couldn't get his medication.

I'm sure he's also included in Era's "FUCK ALL LANDLORDS" mantra.

The fun part about the landlord hate is that once we have the housing provided by the state they'll see how much labor and other costs are involved and then fight anyone who dares attempt to cut any of the costs.

Fun for me, obviously. Not like, society. Or poor people. Or homeless people. Not sure why they're relevant to any of these questions though.

Their reactions also just show me how complete ignorant they are on all of the work landlords do with their apartments/houses/etc.

But, yeah, in your example, they would included him with the mantra, but with caveats on how he should be able to afford their medication easily, and how come he can't just live in one of his places he's renting, etc.

But, ya know, fuck him because he's a landlord.

And here comes the simps for capitalism. Landlords, like all owners of capital, just sit in their mansions and watch the idle game that is capital make number go up and print them free money. In an actually reasonable system all citizens would be able to leisure constantly and have all their needs met at all times. This enrages you so you want to deny it to anyone who doesn't already own capital. Who because of your white supremacist views you assume is anyone who inhabits a Black body. Maybe try learning a little about landlords and capitalism before you spew your ignorance and bigotry at marginalized people fighting for basic dignity. It's not my job to educate you, it should be nobody's job because jobs are immoral manifestations of capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy (much like formal education), but there may be a sixteen part set of four hour YouTube videos that explain this if you're willing to actually DO 👏 THE 👏 WORK 👏 and learn something.

Before murdering him and seizing the property for the community (which should be done) your state might have provisions for reporting such maintenance failures they'll respond to. WARNING: This is effectively the same thing as notifying the cops about random events of chaos.
