Seriously? This is the thing that makes you mad at Disney?

"Happy New Year! I hope you all found time to rest and recharge during the holidays."

Oh is that ever a corporate red flag opening line for an email.

Starting March 1, employees currently working in a hybrid fashion will be asked to spend four days a week on-site, targeting Monday through Thursday as in-person workdays. Stay tuned for additional details.

How is that a red flag 

Fuck that shit, and fuck EVERY SINGLE CORPORATION trying to get things back to how they were before the pandemic.
Hope for a mass resignation and hope everyone that wants to can find another job that allows them to work from home. Hopefully the other studios are watching and ready to steal some talent.

Fuck this shit one more time.

Holy fuck lol

A friend of mine once told me that when you remove the CGI alien effects.

It is interesting how people maybe subconsciously understand that Na'vi cosplays are wrong so you barely see them.
Maybe that will change next Halloween tho, ugh😬

Just what kind of brainworms do these idiots have? Guess why noone dresses as Na'vi. Because it looks like shit when you don't look like an alien.

"Curious how rarely you see people dress up as the xenomorph from Alien"

"The only reason must be that it looks racist"

I just hate fandom when it gets to a certain point no matter what IP it is, which then makes me hate the franchise by association. Avatar, MCU*, DCU*, F&F, SW. Anything with big and loud enough fan groups, and I get turned the fuck off.

So, I'm praying John Wick 4 will stay under $500 million at the box office. I like that franchise!

Capeshit I would hate no matter how many fans it had

 

[Straight Edge]

Having watched both Avatar films, I struggle to see what Na'vi culture is guilty of appropriating. They are hunter-gatherers with a reverence for nature. If anything, it's exceedingly generic and could apply to every stone-age culture on Earth.

[Uncle]

also if it was appropriating anything it would be absolutely fine, as it's human nature to appropriate (ideally respectfully), and part of the process of creation and revision of any art or craft

[Pissy F Benny]

How deep are the "minority concerns"around it, with the way culture is now even a handful of people bitching is going to get attention that will be farmed into clicks (look at how many stories are based off a handful of tweets),not to mention the people who will be tempted into a grift.

I've not followed any of this since I found the original avatar to be the prettiest turd I've ever seen and have no intention of watching the new one if I can help it.

You keep saying this as a contribution and it's a little tiring because everyone understands what the proposed outcome was but it's been made clear that that was still being discussed off the back of how far Rowling has gone. We don't need to keep being reminded what the thing we're pushing against is.

Tweets btw, in case anyone was wondering how far she's gone. And one time she went to a gathering with some other women they hate.

I'll also note that tweets were the reason Cyberpunk 2077 was restricted to protect trans people. Tweets from an employee who was fired.

You know, for when B-Dubs laments the social media algorithms ruining the forum he oversees.

Don't forget the article she wrote where she explicitly stated she supports trans women's right to live their lives in a way that is authentic and comfortable to them and is safe from violence and fear, but just wanted to note that there's nothing wrong with being female and it's not hateful say that trans women might have had a different experience to a woman who grew up biologically female.

Goddamn genocidal bitch.

[Uncle]

in an overabundance of fairness to an insane position, has she donated significant amounts to anti-trans causes? or conspicuously not donated to pro-trans causes?

[Snoopycat_]

Here in Scotland we're passing a bill to make it easier for trans to legally change their gender. The Tory filth down England are doing their best to block it. When I read about I foolishly thought Kyuuji and her mob would have a lot to say about it. You know, seeing as it's an actual, real problem. So far there's exactly 4 responses. I think that says a lot about what their actual agenda is, and it's certainly nothing to do with tran's rights.

Somehow I found myself watching a video on the development of Bully PS2. During the release hysteria segment, the man himself makes an appearance. The blueprint. The ghost of era past present and future. Jack Thompson. Right out of the gate calling it a Columbine simulator. All off the title alone.

Thompson's petition, filed with the 11th Judicial Circuit Court, asked for Wal-Mart and Take-Two Interactive to furnish him with an advance copy of Bully so he could have "an independent third party" play the game and determine if it would constitute a public nuisance

 

[Potato]

As someone who has done about 3 minutes of research on this topic, I'm confident that she has probably donated to a bunch of feminist charities and activist groups, some of which probably share the same genocidal beliefs as Joanne about people who were born with a penis and an overabundance of testosterone maybe having a slightly different formative experience to those born with a vagina and estrogen.

Did Jack Thompson remark at how much capitalism was in the game?   Cuz, boy.  BOY was there a lot of capitalism.  Candy and soda vending machines all over the hallways and shit.

[benjipwns]

This isn't possible to know unless she publicized it and she has not. Kyuuji's list of crimes hints at this despite no evidence so there's been a number of ResetERA.com members who have claimed that she bankrolls all anti-trans forces globally.

The largest donations she's made known were to Labour and against Brexit. Which are notably two of the same positions that a number of people who accuse her of supporting fascism (like Jim Sterling and presumably Kyuuji) hold.

Bonus points for the second link because UH OH someone dared say Aloy is bland and generic and as you’d expect

I don't see how a strong, non-sexualized woman is a generic protagonist myself in a male dominated industry....

Doesn’t at all counter the bland criticism but she’s a NON SEXUALIZED FEMALE!! so the rest doesn’t apparently matter

Terrible post. Aloy is anything but generic. She does not remotely belong in this thread and uh, why on earth are you posting some chibi doll render of her??

Also, I'm convinced people who call her personality generic have not played the games.

The personality that amounts to “be an asshole to everyone who doesn’t immediately do what she wants”? Wow so interesting.

But sure Era, only games with non white characters get this sort of talk. I’m sure we’ll get even more threads about Cal Kestis when Jedi: Survivor is nearing releasing.

People bitch about Deathloop because the time loop mechanic is underwhelming when forced to a predetermined path for a underwhelming ending. If anything, the protagonist being a snarky asshole is actually a good thing for the game because everyone else are unlikeable assholes, including the second playable character.

This kind of thread is always irritating...

One of the best pieces of science fiction literature written in at least the past couple decades. Very thought-provoking[size=78%].[/size]

I bet you it's not...and two posts later...

A milquetoast ending that actively undermines any intrigue or drama within the plot.

Oh look, now we know why Reeeeesetera likes it.

Naked 13 year olds

What else can we find...

The story wasn‘t interesting enough to keep replaying the same content just to see where it goes. It was basic sci-fi with anime tiddies. And no, the writing isn’t really that good. The game presentation is neat though.

There was something magical about the journey, the characters and their bond in FFXV. Pretty safe to say Forespoken won't have any of that.

Wasn't a fan of FFXV and it seems the dev team didn't really get the message of what was bad about XV - the bland open worlds with nothing interesting and filler quests.

Haha so they had a poll attached to that thread with the majority saying she should not be let back in.

Surprise, surprise the poll was ‘mysteriously' removed. The OP has updated the first post and says management removed it.

Lets see if the mod who did it has the balls to say why.

Not even just IsisNails. She’s al ready been stripped, but this moron is acting like it didn’t happen. Plus the stu[id whataboutism about Trump terrorists certainly ignores the fact that the board would definitely support that action for the January 6th idiots.

But at least their blatant in saying your racist if you disagree with my stupid position.

Do you know how ISIS recruitment and brainwashing works though, especially online? ISIS was making Hollywood levels of propaganda, with insane production values. They were showing how the enemies they were fighting were on the side of Satan and America's pawns. They were showing little dead Arab babies and making a case of how America and it's client states/groups were the cause for it. They were showing bodies of dead Muslims burned by phosphorous and other banned weaponry, and portraying ISIS as the good guys fighting and killing those that did those acts. They were showing dismembered children, victims of aerial bombing. I don't need to explain how brainwashing works. We think we are not susceptible to it, but if you get the right kind of a recruiter who knows what gets you upset/angry/sad with promises of bliss and righteous justice, it becomes more complex.

Oh well it's a wrap guys, ISIS' propaganda had productions values worthy of the MCU, let the poor girl back in muhrica already.

Not trying to be snarky, but that is how recruitment starts for folks that are victims of American led wars or how they see their own people being brutalized by superpowers. They get one sided story and propaganda, and they are exploited based on their religion and beliefs about what is right and wrong.

I get that "America bad" is the entirety of your political ideology but maybe when you find yourself making dozens of posts defending ISIS of all things it's time for a break

It would be helpful to understand why the poll was removed so the thread doesn't derail.

Polls are anonymous; can't do ban clean-up if people aren't publicly posting their opinions.


I kid somewhat. Perhaps because it doesn't contribute much to actual discussion about the thread's topic.

You can always tell when Trump loses track of his prompter as that is the exact moment he comes up with his biggest bangers.

I bet it was something like: "In many respects Obama is honoring ISIS but he should be honoring the founding fathers".
But he fucks up and starts with: "In many respects ISIS honors Obamna" that puts him into a jam and he sort of panics "ISIS is honoring Obama..." but then he figures a way out this jam: "he's the founder of ISIS...  HE'S THE FOUNDER OF ISIS!!? ok? He's the FOUNDER!!!" and the crowd goes wild. "HE FOUNDED ISIS!!" and then he has to land it with adlib CEO talk: "And I would say the co-founder, would be Crooked Hillary Clinton"
