So I'm going to be real right now: pretty much every single person is making shit up in order to bolster their side of this argument. Literally all we know is that this image was gotten out of a medical textbook. That's it, we don't know anything else. What should have been an interesting discussion has turned into people moralizing at each other, taking the high ground to shit on each other, and generally just fling insults around without a care in the world.

We don't know any of the details, we'll probably never know any of the details and yet people are acting like we do know these details. Everyone is making these grand assumptions based on fuck-all when we don't know anything. We know maybe one sentence of fact and yet everyone feels the need to insult each other based on the little we do know.

Yes, it is kinda fucked up and it also shows us that the stuff that happened with the development of games like The Last of Us, part 2 has been going on for far longer than we figured. What could have been a conversation about realistic violence in videogames turned into people yelling, screaming, and making wild accusations towards each other. From there we have the people complaining about the other people in the thread and trying to make the whole conversation about that. We're so far off the field here that we can't even see where we started anymore.

Guys, we need to stop going to 11 every single time something vaguely messed up happens or anytime someone happens to disagree with us. It's exhausting. The level of petty that people constantly stoop to is exhausting.

I get it, social media algorithms prime us to fight each other because that's what keeps people on their platforms and making them money and we internalize that and bring it with us into the rest of our interactions online. I get that, but we need to at least try and be better than that. There's no reason to constantly be going as hard as we do when all that's going on is a basic disagreement. People can disagree and still be friends, they can disagree and still find common ground, they can disagree and not be assholes to each other.

I'm begging you guys, next time you get that heated just take a deep breath before posting.

What should have been an interesting discussion has turned into people moralizing at each other, taking the high ground to shit on each other, and generally just fling insults around without a care in the world.

What interesting discussion?

People didn’t have problem about it until someone mentioned at Twitter. Most people wouldn’t have realized this and, honestly, most people aren’t traumatized by this. Not going to pretend I’m a lawyer to know the legal aspect of getting the image from a medical textbook but I’m just thinking that this is a huge “who cares”.

[Lonewulfeus]

For a name in 2022 it's not good. Like naming your kid Agnes. There was a time and place for that.

My wife’s name is timeless and doesn’t prescribe to the notion of “trendiness” like wide leg trousers and chunky loafers. Not to mention her name is an homage to her great grandmother, who was a suffragist, advocated for women’s rights, and continued to service her community for her entire life. What have you done for the community?

[benjipwns]

Not to mention her name is an homage to her great grandmother, who ... continued to service her community for her entire life.

[benjipwns]

I don't understand what the controversy is even supposed to be.

[benjipwns]

I really don't think this is the case, I do not believe that people woke up and said "what can I be upset about" and found this, rather a good faith interpretation (and you should want to be participating in good faith right) is people came across this thread and are voicing their legitimate opinions. Just saying people want to be upset is incredibly dismissive.

It has to be exhausting to live that way.

You know, instead of building a strawman to argue against, why don't we just go ahead and ask people. Hey y'all, did you seek out this news in order to be outraged about something? Did you wake up looking for something to get mad about?

People for the most part don't live this way. Believe it or not, most people do not want to be angry. Most people are not even "angry" about this news, they just think it's gross and/or not good. Nobody is throwing their keyboard out the window over it, nobody is protesting outside of the Valve offices. It's comments on an internet forum.

They won't admit they want to be angry, maybe they don't even realize they're doing it, but it's very common for people to seek out shit to be angry about. It's the entire basis of Fox News and right wing culture wars and it's by no means an exclusively right wing phenomenon. Even in this thread, all we know is that the texture comes from a real photograph of a cadaver and the photograph probably appeared in a medical/forensics book of some kind, but people are assuming other things (the photo was used improperly and the family members would of course be upset if they knew, etc.) based on absolutely nothing because it makes it a more "exciting" thing to get mad/moralistic about

I don't think even those people deliberately wake up and say "I am going to be angry today", their values are just aligned with always having a nebulous enemy to rail against or constantly being a victim of that made up enemy. It just seems way too convenient that someone can make the claim the only reason people can care about this is because they like being angry yet there's nothing to back that up besides speculation, especially when people have by and large given fair/reasonable reasons they don't like it and double besides that we don't even know if anyone is angry.

Welcome to the community you have nurtured you dumb prick

[Kurt Russell]

Lol was talking with my dad and sister who are both like “Elon isn’t stupid” and I’m like HOHOHO oh man. Do I have a bridge to sell you lol.

“Well you have to have some level of intelligence to make so much money”

Sure sure.

Capitalism is a hell of a drug. It's a system that runs on the literal blood of the suppressed and disadvantages, and yet it is sold as a meritocracy to a privileged middle class who so thoroughly buys it that it clouds their judgement on anything or anybody that has lots of money. In some ways, Elon Musk is like a bug in the system.* He's a fucking idiot, and should never have gotten so much money and power. When you look close, he didn't fund any of the companies he's "known" to have funded, he didn't invent anything, and SpaceX and I'm sure Tesla too just learned to "manage" Musks idiocy and filter out his dumbass ideas. It's a giant house of cards that only works as long as we all just want to believe in the idea that capitalism just has to be fair and all those rich folks have to be intelligent, and amazing, and so on. It's hard to be optimistic when idiots like this are allowed to waste so much resources that could instead be given to people with actual talent and intelligence, but who don't happen to have a rich South African mine owner as a father.

* in other ways, one could say he's just a feature of its cruelty and unfairness.

Probably referring to the devs watching real life gore videos as reference material

And our whole approach is to say, ‘We want to treat this as realistically as possible.’ When you stab someone—if you watch reference videos, which we have, it’s gross and it’s messy and it’s not sanitized like you see in most movies and games. And we wanted to get the player to feel that.”

This thread has been a fucking awful read. If you’d told me I’d stumbled into a conservative subreddit full of right wing chuds I’d have believed you because the exact same arguments they make are being parroted in this thread.

It’s like a repeat of the obesity thread with people shouting about ‘muh freedoms’ and ‘personal responsibility’.

I don’t even think we should ban sugary soda but sugar and food in general needs much stricter regulation because we’re currently in a health crisis which is totally preventable.

[Propagandhim]

Why is "personal responsibility" in quotes, like it's not actually a thing.  Apparently if you're a 14 year old on Twitter and you say some dumb racist shit, the concept of personal responsibility carries over like an albatross for the rest of your life...but not when you stuff your face with twinkies everyday?

[ShutUp]

They kinda do with all the advertising that makes it seem sodas are the greatest things on Earth and totally don't have any downsides, etc.

Then just choose to ignore the advertising and still not drink it? A few people actually mentioning personal responsibility being a thing then you get these types of replies.

User Banned (1 Week): Inflammatory and Inappropriate Commentary Around Drug Addiction

Lot of theft at my local Walmart. I'm presuming to fund drug addictions since it's a rural area. Lot of sticker swaps and just plain swooping stuff past self checkout, according to the police blotter.

It'd be utterly devastating to the community if there was a closure since that's the main thing keeping the area together other than a grocery store and odd places here and there. Fucking goons with their meth and fentanyl are a scourge to communities.

User Banned (3 Days): Hostility toward another member

Fucking goons with their meth and fentanyl are a scourge to communities.

Tbh you don't sound like much of a benefit to the community the way you are talking about it either. Maybe if more effort was spent helping that community and the people with a literal illness rather than defending fucking Walmart your community might be a bit nicer.

It's a well known fact that Walmarts decimate smaller towns. It's likely people wouldnt have to turn to desperate situations if they didnt build a Walmart and destroy all the small businesses and social aspect of the community.

Literally huge stores like Walmart are a huge part of why these problems exist in rural areas.

I worked as a public defender for a bit - got a lot of petit theft cases. BY FAR the store the most cut throat about thefts was Walmart. It’s definitely the worst store to steal from. They would send in their footage and their security to testify over a candy bar, while other stores usually only did that if it was something big.

Because they know they are the cause of all these problems so they have to make a show of every little thing so they can push the blame on the most desperate. Because bogging down the system so everyone is constantly talking about it means people will buy it simply because they are tired of hearing about it. Same reason they turn the store into fucking fort Knox. It's purposeful inconvenience to the average customer so they'll be emotional enough to buy any reasoning.

User Banned (Permanent): Dismissing concerns of Indigenous stereotypes over multiple posts, account in junior phase

What negative impact does Avatar 1 or Avatar 2 have to real-world people?

If the movie was about real people, not aliens, maybe there's some bad stereotyping going on.

But, really... what in the real world is going to happen to real people as a result of the tropes or simplifications these two stories make?

I imagine people just watch it, enjoy it (or don't), and they aren't really convinced to change their actions or beliefs in any meaningful way from how they were before.

I haven't watched Avatar 2, I have to admit, so I might be ignorant of some aspect of that movie.

The alternative is not writing about things you have at best a tenuous grasp of, regardless of what story you “desire” to tell.

Of course, you can, but everyone else is free to tell you it isn’t good - especially if they’re from the country you “researched” and feel like what you wrote is insulting and incorrect.

Other subject, is the "noble savage" trope disrespectful? It's an easy trope lacking nuance and subtlety but is it insulting? It is that bad wanting to only show the connection to nature?

So glad I was asleep and just now awoke to you being banned for your stupid JAQing-off drivel because HOLY FUCKING HELL, would I have gone off on you for spouting this disgusting shit.

Always confusing when they get mad when someone just asks why the trope is offensive? Instead of just linking him some article they get really mad or just repeat that it's offensive.

I can promise you, this member will not return from his ban thinking that the noble savage trope is offensive, he'll just not ask about it anymore.

It is very much a right wing talking point about things like universal healthcare that you (they) 'shouldn't' be expected to pay to pick up after fast food munching fatties, venereal disease riddled sexual degenerates and will power deficient junkies.

Speaking of junkies and sexual degenerates:

Even if the cost to human society is immense? People “slowly killing themselves” through metabolic disease are costing nursing homes, healthcare facilities, hospitals, insurance and the pharmaceuticals industry BILLIONS. Decisions don’t exist in a vacuum, and neither do “personal health decisions.”

Any public health policy that doesn’t at least somewhat recognize that individualistic freedoms are ultimately not compatible with maximizing the protection of human health is a junk one.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/have-you-ever-dealt-with-a-narcissists.668596/

Last year I had a housemate who I've recently come to realize was probably a narcissists:
They made the following remarks over dishes when I complained about dishes

So there was a bowl in the sink and we had prior issues with dishes. I sent a text saying: "Can we agree on dishes like someone's not even rinsing come on" and then they said they hope someone kicks my teeth in and I bite their fingers and said they've been here before violence is the best way to get rid of tensions

The sink was full one time and I took a photo and sent it to our groupchat and said "come on guys". I had a tray or two in there and they said I won't find housemates as chill as this and was sure another housemate would have beaten me up by now before saying in all seriousness, they are surprised no one's suggested violence.

I once said also can we agree on our dishes schedule and they tagged another housemate in a comment saying a "fight is loving"

One time people left food in the sink and I said "can people not leave food in the sink we have a trash for reason" and he said I mix up recycling sometimes and left powder and crumbs on the stove. When I said I'd be better they said they seriously recommends violence with my housemates cuz their afraid I'll say the wrong thing to the wrong person and when I said their comments make me uncomfortable, their response was "Just a suggestion in case your comments might drive someone over the edge"

Claims we could have used his coffee maker but they don't value any of our lives worth more than a bill and if we break it, we'll have problems

And this was their "apology": "I'm sorry if I made you feel like someone was going to fight you. I was just highlighting that your comments provoke."

Even after another housemate talked to them and told them to take seriously the things they say and it doesn't sound like a joke, before we left, they got upset as ketchup was put on their shelf and it spilled and he said not to do it. My friend recently moved in and did not know about the ruling and put ketchup there and they found out and was like " F*ck me with me one more time" and said they were on the edge and just asking for respect. I explained why it happened and they said its understandable but they are still on the edge regardless. Keep in mind they previously recommended violence in case my comments about dishes "drove someone over the edge"

and the last thing he told me before was:
"do you expect us to continue to pick up after you and said I hope you learn to chill out and take responsibility with your future housemates"

Anyway I've come to realize was a narcissists as he showed the following signs
1. Projection: He was acting as if I was saying these horrible provoking things that could lead to violence when that was him. He told me to learn to chill when he's the one who needed to chill. He kept saying my housemates were so angry and wanted to beat me up when he was the only one suggesting violence.
2.Gaslighting: His projection ties into gaslighting as he was acting like my housemates wanted to hurt me or were so angry at me when they weren't and I was the angry person saying these horrible things when I wasn't. He was trying to convince me that I deserve his threats so when he does get violent, it'll be my fault as shown with his "apology"
and also he was acting like he's concerned/helpful when he wasn't, which is manipulative and gross
3. Lack of responsibility: Projecting and blaming on to me and my housemates to avoid that he had anger issues and his behaviour was unacceptable. I wasn't perfect and made mistakes but he couldn't even take responsibility for his own actions and acted all high and mighty
4. Overreact/Overdramatize/Exaggerate: He overreacted to my complaints about my dishes and acted as if they were these horrible things and seems to be a sign of narcissistic rage

Realizing these are traits of a narcissists make so much sense and point out any red flags that can be used in the future. Have you ever dealt with them and what was it like

Other subject, is the "noble savage" trope disrespectful? It's an easy trope lacking nuance and subtlety but is it insulting? It is that bad wanting to only show the connection to nature?

So glad I was asleep and just now awoke to you being banned for your stupid JAQing-off drivel because HOLY FUCKING HELL, would I have gone off on you for spouting this disgusting shit.

Always confusing when they get mad when someone just asks why the trope is offensive? Instead of just linking him some article they get really mad or just repeat that it's offensive.

I can promise you, this member will not return from his ban thinking that the noble savage trope is offensive, he'll just not ask about it anymore.

Remember this quote from bdubz? I think that poster needs reminding

Guys, we need to stop going to 11 every single time something vaguely messed up happens or anytime someone happens to disagree with us. It's exhausting. The level of petty that people constantly stoop to is exhausting.

Speaking of junkies and sexual degenerates:

Even if the cost to human society is immense? People “slowly killing themselves” through metabolic disease are costing nursing homes, healthcare facilities, hospitals, insurance and the pharmaceuticals industry BILLIONS. Decisions don’t exist in a vacuum, and neither do “personal health decisions.”

Any public health policy that doesn’t at least somewhat recognize that individualistic freedoms are ultimately not compatible with maximizing the protection of human health is a junk one.

User Banned (3 Days): Hostility toward another member

Fucking goons with their meth and fentanyl are a scourge to communities.

Tbh you don't sound like much of a benefit to the community the way you are talking about it either. Maybe if more effort was spent helping that community and the people with a literal illness rather than defending fucking Walmart your community might be a bit nicer.

It's a well known fact that Walmarts decimate smaller towns. It's likely people wouldnt have to turn to desperate situations if they didnt build a Walmart and destroy all the small businesses and social aspect of the community.

Literally huge stores like Walmart are a huge part of why these problems exist in rural areas.

I worked as a public defender for a bit - got a lot of petit theft cases. BY FAR the store the most cut throat about thefts was Walmart. It’s definitely the worst store to steal from. They would send in their footage and their security to testify over a candy bar, while other stores usually only did that if it was something big.

Because they know they are the cause of all these problems so they have to make a show of every little thing so they can push the blame on the most desperate. Because bogging down the system so everyone is constantly talking about it means people will buy it simply because they are tired of hearing about it. Same reason they turn the store into fucking fort Knox. It's purposeful inconvenience to the average customer so they'll be emotional enough to buy any reasoning.

Look at all the angles the guy tried to cover in this absurd conspiracy theory of Walmart's open plot to uh... just be jerks?

What negative impact does Avatar 1 or Avatar 2 have to real-world people?

If the movie was about real people, not aliens, maybe there's some bad stereotyping going on.

But, really... what in the real world is going to happen to real people as a result of the tropes or simplifications these two stories make?

I imagine people just watch it, enjoy it (or don't), and they aren't really convinced to change their actions or beliefs in any meaningful way from how they were before.

I haven't watched Avatar 2, I have to admit, so I might be ignorant of some aspect of that movie.
