FFS. This forum community calls out theft of games and piracy, bans members who admit to doing illegal things, posts endless threads about the wrongdoings of individuals on twitch & YT, not to mention the corps and devs./pubs. who treat people horribly, but a sculpture and people act like it's ok. Are some posters just fine with stealing artwork suddenly?

 

Bonus:

Congrats op, you just gave the people that claim others get offended for no reason just to be offended real ammunition. So I suppose you think from now on all games must have completely fictional environments with no real relations or inspiration from real world locations, becaue your argument makes no sense otherwise.

When people pass away, it is common to say "rest in peace" as a platitude to wish their soul a good eternal rest. In a more agnostic sense, it's also just politeness and good form. However, you may have seen people use "rest in power" and may have wondered what the difference is. It's usually used for folks who fit one of three categories:

1.) An activist who has contributed greatly to Black, Indigenous, and LGBT civil rights causes.

2.) A person who died as a result of police or state brutality.

3.) A person whose work has otherwise contributed positively and notably to the cultural milieu and pride of Black, Indigenous, and LGBT people.

Merely being Black, Indigenous, or LGBT and passing away doesn't necessarily mean use of "rest in power" is appropriate upon a person's passing. Again, it's based upon the above criteria. Essentially, you had to have done some significant work to contribute to the betterment of those who currently suffer oppression.

By all means, mourn your childhood and media heroes when they pass. But do not step on the toes of activists and victims of brutality in the process.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

What JK Rowling does in terms of using her fame, platform and money to fund and platform transphobic ideas and people is very much about achieving a specific goal of killing trans people, both by emboldening the more violent bigots and by driving trans people to suicide. She is not just someone with "fucked up views". There's are trans people out there who are now dead, who would be alive were it not for her. She is a monster.

If she was actually responsible for any of this, she’d be in fucking jail, chief. Holy shit stop throwing around accusations of this nature without proof.

If it wasn't true, why would Kyuji literally state it in their precooked copypasta they have prepared to post at the top of every single page about any future harry potter products?

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I really don't get what is your point, of those 33 million there are plenty that may be artists themselves wherever as just a hobby or as a job

Agreed, but much more has a huge potential of creativity but can't express because they spent 8 hours of the day working and 3 in packed buses just to survive, or their cultural and family background was hostile to them making or learning art. AI art may be a form to express creativity and feel you can do something nice. But of course it wont replace artists and handmaid art, just wont, I think a handmaid art has more value than AI art

And also to kill Russians I guess, even though they aren't that far off biologically from Poles and are certainly closer relatives than the Africans and Muslims you've welcomed in with open arms to rape women in Cologne.

JK Rowling's specific goal of murdering trans people.   

This is why there's a stereotype of these people being histrionic losers not worthy of seriousness.  Just exaggerated proclamations all day long.  No serious person listens to these people.  They're just talking at each other at this point.

My personal opinion is that Avalanche studio should donate some amount to any NPO that supports and protects transgender rights. That way they can make a statement that they do not condone Rowling's views.

Weird. Will Feige and Marvel Studios donate money after Panthers opening weekend?

We've known about the features you speak of for a while. The devs are (unfortunately) attached to a license that grows Rowling's brand. Good on the devs for pushing that feature, but fuck giving Rowling money and power IMO. There are a million stories out there - we don't need to celebrate the ones attached to a giant bigot. That's just me, though.

Meanwhile, this thread exists with zero mention of transphobia https://www.resetera.com/threads/black-panther-wakanda-forever-ot-chadwick-forever-open-spoilers.652557/

Nobody is getting punished because there won't be marketing and hype threads on a video game forum with merely thousands of users, for a game that will sell millions of copies regardless because it's attached to a massive entertainment brand. And developers don't get paid by the number of threads and views for their game either, they will be fine.

But if you really need to discuss this game on this forum and unless things have changed in the last couple of months, the game will get a barebones OT where people can talk about it when it comes out.

I thought Era was the bright, well known light in the video game community. Suddenly its just a random board no one knows about? It is, but you all sure love to think you’re more.

Ree seems to be the only site that claims that TERF BITCH JOANNE is out killing trans.  Wonder why the media aren't covering this

[Propagandhim]

No, that's the specific directive in Joanne's Operation Folxicide but it's not being successfully carried out as evidenced by a lack of trans murders.  Why?  Because Resetera is fighting against it.  Play it tactical.

I will preface this by saying we live in Tennessee, and I feel like every single couple our age or younger (around 26-27) my wife and I know either had a house built or has a house. I don’t understand how people afford it. We live in a pretty well-sized apartment with our dog, and we definitely want a house, but between rent, bills, etc. how the fuck are we supposed to afford it? I don’t understand how couples who just got married are getting homes.

It makes us feel like we’re behind compared to our friends and people we know. I feel embarrassed every time we tell people we live in an apartment. Is life just a constant race to have as much as other people?

The only explanation is that they think you have to pay cash for the whole price of the house at closing.

More evidence that despite being in their 30s many of these people didn't start becoming aware of the outside world until post-2014. Then again this could explain some old NeoGAF.com threads after the subprime collapse where I felt some posters were not really grasping why banks might have millions of mortgages on their books.

You should look into health disparities and outcomes before you post this kind of shit.

The life expectancy of Latine, Black and Native American populations was disproportionately reduced because of racialized oppression.

I love how there are two parallel conversations going on in that thread — people who own houses who are like, “we have decent jobs, saved for a few years and got a mortgage”; and the ones who don’t, who are like, “it’s utterly impossible without rich parents doing it for you”.

One is like, “It’s generational wealth — there’s no other way. Apart from immigrant families who work hard and save. But otherwise it’s generational wealth.”

The reason owning a house is inconceivable to the Rees is probably because they're only searching for property in upper middle class areas. They're the type of idiots who sign up for sub prime mortgages and hilarious car loans.
