Uh-huh. Very easy to boycott products you weren't buying in the first place (your post history shows you've never posted in a Nintendo related thread). Get that fake righteousness outta here.

Literally posted in the direct thread last week.

Good job on the detective work and defending Saudi Arabia. Hope it's worth it.

Dude with the transphobic wife and mother-in-law

Why are you posting on a forum that actively promotes and encourages purchasing products from a company that supports Saudi Arabia?

Stop spreading this type of garbage if you don't know what you're talking about please, acting as if trans women are anywhere near the capability of cis men is really fucking harmful.

It's not about if transwomen are anywhere near the capability of cis men you fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow. It's whether transwomen are anywhere near the capability of cis women.

How the fuck can you not understand that?

They deserve the public lashing they're getting for trying to speak out of both sides of their mouth.

This is absolutely ridiculous. A low ranking 30-year-old male tennis player beat Serena and Venus 6–1 and 6–2. There is an insurmountable physical gap between men and women with equal training regimes.

I added stuff to clarify my position; I don't believe trans women shouldn't be able to compete in women's sports. "That cis guy is just pretending to be a trans woman to be able to outperform women in competitions" is a silly South Park strawman, not unlike JK's "rapists will wear dresses to get access to women-only spaces and nobody will be able to stop them" nonsense. I'm just saying that pretending the truth isn't the truth doesn't help anyone.

"Transwomen should be able to compete in sports with biological women....but I acknowledge transwomen and biological women do not have the same physical ability."

if trans  women are better at sports than biological women, and you maintain that they should be able to compete in sports together, then your position is simply that you hope all the world records for female physical achievement will one day be held by trans  women

[benjipwns]

Heavily influenced by Jakob Boehme was the mystical English communist, Gerrard Winstanley, founder of the Digger sect during the English Civil War. Son of a textile merchant who had failed in the cloth business and then had sunk to the status of agricultural laborer, Winstanley, in early 1649, had a mystical vision of the ideal communist world of the future. Originally, according to this vision, a version of God had created the universe; but the spirit of "selfishness," the Devil itself, had entered into man and brought about private property and a market economy.

The curse of the self, opined Winstanley, was "the beginner of particular interest," or private property, with men buying and selling and saying, "This is mine." The end of original communism and its breakup into private property meant that universal liberty was gone, and creation brought "under the curse of bondage, sorrow, and tears." In England, Winstanley absurdly held, property had been communist until the Norman Conquest of 1066, which created the institution of private property.[12]

But soon, declared Winstanley, universal "love" would eliminate private property, and would thus restore the earth to "a common property as it was in the beginning … making the earth one storehouse, and every man and woman to live … as members of one household." This communism and absolute equality of possessions would thus bring to the world the millennium, "a new heaven, and a new earth."[13]

At first, Winstanley believed that little or no coercion would be necessary for establishing and maintaining his communist society. Soon, however, he realized, in the completed draft of his utopia, that all wage labor and all commerce would have to be prohibited on the penalty of death. Winstanley was quite willing to go this far with his program. Everyone was to contribute to, and take from, the common storehouse, and the death penalty was to be levied on all use of money, and on any buying or selling. The "sin" of idleness would of course be combated by forced labor for the benefit of the communist community.

This all-encompassing stress on the executioner makes particularly grisly the declaration of Winstanley that "all punishments that are to be inflicted … are only such as to make the offender … to live in the community of the righteous law of love one with another." Education in "love" was to be insured by free and compulsory schooling conducted by the state, mainly in useful crafts rather than in liberal arts, as well as by "ministers" elected by the public to preach secular sermons upholding the new system.[14]

                         Nepenthe?
 

If you don't trust Rothbard, I looked it up

That which true righteousness in my judgment calls community is this, to have the earth set free from all kingly bondage of lords of manors and oppressing landlords, which came in by conquest as a thief takes a true man’s purse upon the highway, being stronger than he.

And that neither the earth, nor any fruits thereof, should be bought or sold by the inhabitants one among another, which is slavery the kingly conquerors have brought in; therefore he set his stamp upon silver, that every one should buy and sell in his name.

And though this be, yet shall not men live idle; for the earth shall be planted and reaped, and the fruits carried into barns and store-houses by the assistance of every family, according as is shewed hereafter in order.

Every man shall be brought up in trades and labours, and all trades shall be maintained with more improvement, to the enriching of the commonwealth, more than now they be under kingly power.

Every tradesman shall fetch materials, as leather, wool, flax, corn and the like, from the public store-houses, to work upon without buying and selling; and when particular works are made, as cloth, shoes, hats and the like, the tradesmen shall bring these particular works to particular shops, as it is now in practice, without buying and selling. And every family as they want such things as they cannot make, they shall go to these shops and fetch without money, even as now they fetch with money, as hereafter is shewed how in order.

If any say, ‘This will nurse idleness’; I answer, this platform proves the contrary, for idle persons and beggars will be made to work.

If any say, ‘This will make some men to take goods from others by violence and call it theirs, because the earth and fruits are a common stock’; I answer, the laws or rules following prevents that ignorance. For though the store-houses and public shops be commonly furnished by every family’s assistance, and for every family’s use, as is shewed hereafter how: yet every man’s house is proper to himself, and all the furniture therein, and provision which he hath fetched from the store-houses is proper to himself; every man’s wife and every woman’s husband proper to themselves, and so are their children at their dispose till they come to age.

And if any other man endeavour to take away his house, furniture, food, wife or children, saying every thing is common, and so abusing the law of peace, such a one is a transgressor, and shall suffer punishment, as by the government and laws following is expressed.

For though the public store-houses be a common treasury, yet every man’s particular dwelling is not common but by his consent, and the commonwealth’s laws are to preserve a man’s peace in his person and in his private dwelling, against the rudeness and ignorance that may arise in mankind.

Therefore there shall be no buying and selling in a free commonwealth, neither shall any one hire his brother to work for him.

If the commonwealth might be governed without buying and selling, here is a platform of government for it, which is the ancientest law of righteousness to mankind in the use of the earth, and which is the very height of earthly freedoms. But if the minds of the people, through covetousness and proud ignorance, will have the earth governed by buying and selling still, this same platform, with a few things subtracted, declares an easy way of government of the earth for the quiet of people’s minds and preserving of peace in the land.

For as, like a tradesman, I ask the highest price:

Yet I may fall (if you will rise) upon a good advice.

How must the earth be planted?

The earth is to be planted, and the fruits reaped and carried into barns and store-houses, by the assistance of every family. And if any man or family want corn or-other provision they may go to the store-houses and fetch without money. If they want a horse to ride, go into the fields in summer, or to the common stables in winter, and receive one from the keepers; and when your journey is performed, bring him where you had him, without money. If any want food or victuals, they may either go to the butchers’ shops, and receive what they want without money; or else go to the flocks of sheep or herds of cattle, and take and kill what meat is needful for their families, without buying and selling. And the reason why all the riches of the earth are a common stock is this, because the earth, and the labours thereupon, are managed by common assistance of every family, without buying and selling; as is shewn how more largely in the office of overseers for trades and the law for store-houses.

The laws for the right ordering thereof, and the officers to see the laws executed to preserve the peace of every family and the peace of every man, and to improve and promote every trade, is shewed in the work of officers and by the laws following.

None will be an enemy to this freedom, which indeed is to do to another as a man would have another do to him, but covetousness and pride, the spirit of the old grudging snapping Pharisees, who gives God abundance of good words in their sermons, in their prayers, in their fasts and in their thanksgivings, as though none should be more faithful servants to him than they: nay, they will shun the company, imprison and kill everyone that will not worship Go(l, they are so zealous.

Well now, God and Christ hath enacted an everlasting law, which is love; not only one another of your own mind, but love your enemies too, such as are not of your mind: and, having food and raiment, therewith be content.

the part about outlawing non-trade education and labor is true too

But one sort of children shall not be trained up only to book learning and no other employment, called scholars, as they are in the government of monarchy; for then through idleness and exercised wit therein they spend their time to find out policies to advance themselves to be lords and masters above their labouring brethren, as Simeon and Levi do, which occasions all the trouble in the world.

Therefore, to prevent the dangerous events of idleness in scholars, it is reason, and safe for common peace, that after children have been brought up at schools to ripen their wits, they shall then be set to such trades, arts and sciences as their bodies and wits are capable of; and therein continue till they come to forty years of age.

For all the work of the earth, or in trades, is to be managed by youth, and by such as have lost their freedoms.

Then from forty years of age till fourscore, if he live so long, which is the degree of manhood and old age, they shall be freed from all labour and work, unless they will themselves.

And from among this degree of mankind shall be chosen all officers and overseers, to see the laws of the commonwealth observed.

For as all men shall be workers or waiters in store-houses till they be forty years of age, so none shall be chosen a public officer till he be full forty years of age: for by this time man hath learned experience to govern himself and others: for when young wits are set to govern, they wax wanton, etc.

What trades should mankind be brought up in?

In every trade, art and science, whereby they may find out the secrets of the creation, and that they may know how to govern the earth in right order.

There are five fountains from whence all arts and sciences have their influences: he that is an actor in any or in all the five parts is a profitable son of mankind; he that only contemplates and talks of what he reads and hears, and doth not employ his talent in some bodily action for the increase of fruitfulness, freedom and peace in the earth, is an unprofitable son.

But there is traditional knowledge, which is attained by reading or by the instruction of others, and not practical but leads to an idle life; and this is not good.

The first is a laborious knowledge, and a preserver of common peace, which we find God himself acting; for he put forth his own wisdom in practice when he set his strength to work to make the creation: for God is an active power, not an imaginary fancy.

The latter is an idle, lazy contemplation the scholars would call knowledge; but it is no knowledge but a show of knowledge, like a parrot who speaks words but he knows not what he saith. This same show of knowledge rests in reading or contemplating or hearing others speak, and speaks so too, but will not set his hand to work. And from this traditional knowledge and learning rise up both clergy and lawyer, who by their cunning insinuations live merely upon the labour of other men, and teach laws which they themselves will not do, and lays burdens upon others which they themselves will not touch with the least of their fingers. And from hence arises all oppressions, wars and troubles in the world; the one is the son of contention, the other the son of darkness, but both the supporters of bondage, which the creation groans under.

Therefore to prevent idleness and the danger of Machiavellian cheats, it is profitable for the commonwealth that children be trained lip in trades and some bodily employment,-as well as in learning languages or the histories of former ages.

And as boys are trained up in learning and in trades, so all maids shall be trained up in reading, sewing, knitting, spinning of linen and woollen, music, and all other easy neat works, either far to furnish store-houses with linen and woollen cloth, or for the ornament of particular houses with needle-work.

And if this course were taken, there would be no idle person nor beggars in the land, and much work would be done by that now lazy generation for the enlarging of the common treasuries.

And in the managing of any trade, let no young wit be crushed in his invention; for if any man desire to make a new trial of his skill in any trade or science, the overseers shall not hinder him, but encourage him therein: that so the spirit of knowledge may have his full growth in man, to find out the secret in every art.

And let everyone who finds out a new invention have a deserved honour given him; and certainly, when men are sure of food and raiment, their reason will be ripe and ready to dive into the secrets of the creation, that they may learn to see and know God (the spirit of the whole creation) in all his works; for fear of want, and care to pay rent to taskmasters, hath hindered many rare inventions.

So that kingly power hath crushed the spirit of knowledge, and would not suffer it to rise up in its beauty and fulness, but by his club law hath preferred the spirit of imagination, which is a deceiver, before it.

There shall be no buying and selling of the earth, nor of the fruits thereof .

he even creates the multiple storehouse system Nepenthe did

Store-houses shall be built and appointed in all places, and be the common stock.

There shall be store-houses in all places, both in the country and in cities, to which all the fruits of the earth, and other works made by tradesmen, shall be brought, and from thence delivered out again to particular families, and to everyone as they want for their use; or else to be transported by ship to other lands, to exchange for those things which our land will not or does not afford.

For all the labours of husbandmen and tradesmen within the land, or by navigation to or from other lands, shall be all upon the common stock.

And as every one works to advance the common stock, so every one shall have a free use of any commodity in the store-house, for his pleasure and comfortable livelihood without buying and selling or restraint from any.

And having food and raiment, lodging and the comfortable societies of his own kind, what can a man desire more in these days of his travel? [14]

Indeed, covetous, proud and beastly-minded men desire more, either to lie by them to look upon, or else to waste and spoil it upon their lusts; while other brethren live in straits for want of the use thereof.

But the laws and faithful officers of a free commonwealth do regulate the unrational practice of such men.

There are two sorts of store-houses general and particular.

The general store-houses are such houses as receive in all commodities in the gross, as all barns and places to lay corn and the fruits of the earth at the first reaping: and these may be called store-houses for corn, flax, wool; for leather, for iron, for linen and woollen cloth or for any commodity that comes into our hand [15] by shipping; from whence [a] particular family or shop-keepers may fetch as they need, to furnish their lesser shops.

So likewise herds of cattle in the field, flocks of sheep and horses, are all common store-houses- so that from the herds and flocks every family may fetch what they want for food or pleasure, without buying and selling.

So likewise all public dairies are store-houses for butter and cheese: yet every family may have cows for their own use, about their own house.

And these general store-houses shall be filled and preserved by the common labour and assistance of every family, as is mentioned in the office of overseer for trades.

And from these public houses, which are the general stock of the land, all particular tradesmen may fetch materials for their particular work as they need, or to furnish their particular dwellings with any commodities.

Secondly, there are particular store-houses or shops,

To which the tradesmen shall bring their particular works: as all instruments of iron to the iron-shops, hats to shops appointed for them; gloves, shoes, linen and woollen cloth in smaller parcels, to shops appointed for every one of them; and the like.

Even as now we have particular trade[rs?] in cities and towns, called shopkeepers, which shall remain still as they be, only altered in their receiving in and delivering out. For whereas by the law of kings or conquerors they do receive in and deliver out by buying and selling, and exchanging the conqueror’s picture or stamp upon a piece of gold or silver for the fruits of the earth; now they shall (by the laws of the commonwealth) receive into their shops, and deliver out again freely, without buying and selling.

They shall receive in, as into a store-house, and deliver out again freely, as out of a common store-house, when particular persons or families come for anything they need, as now they do by buying and selling under kingly government.

For as particular families and tradesmen do make several works more than they can make use of: as hats, shoes, gloves, stockings, linen and woollen cloth and the like, and do carry their particular work to store-houses:

So it is all reason and equity that they should go to other store-houses, and fetch any other commodity which they want and cannot make; for as other men partakes of their labours, it is reason they should partake of other men’s.

And all these store-houses and shops shall be orderly kept by such as shall be brought up to be waiters therein, as is mentioned in the office of overseers for trades.

Very weird for people to be basically cheering the death of someone for committing petty theft.

The people who typically steal catalytic converters do so because they’re poor so that’s an even worse look. Clown head asses.

Offft. Not sure if you can use that kind of language online being the non-BIPOC person you are.

Now, are we going to assume that apparently typical thieves are just typically poor and then need to defend their typically dipshit behaviour? How typical! The same poor opportunist thieves who happily sell to black markets while ruining a working person's livelihood?

In before Greece sues Sony for their endless God of War games

This doesn't make sense because the Grecian peoples who worshipped the Greek Gods are all gone. That culture is literally dead. There is no one left to advocate for themselves on that front.

But the Saami people are still here, and they matter.

The nature of being minoritized, of becoming "Indigenous" (or an "arrivant" as I've heard termed for the Black diaspora outside of Africa ) inherently means that your culture and way of life become in opposition to and threatened by the dominant cultures surrounding you. And it is this opposition and threat that is at the heart of the issue, and why snide comparisons like "Well, I'm British, can I sue for the Union Jack hurr durr" don't work. Because British culture is largely still of the purview of the British people and dominant on the globalized world stage, and thus in a way, they actually do have some level of autonomous control over that culture.

But there's noone left alive worshipping the British Gods, the official religion we have today (after multiple invasions) was initially primarily Middle Eastern, splintered into a sect in Italy, and then further splintered in Germany.
How is that different from there still being a Greece but that doesn't officially believe in Ancient Greek gods?

The fact is, there is a (pretty fucking big) difference between a woman and a transexual woman. They need to accept it because the vast majority of the people in the world will never agree the alternative AND the biology backs them up.

That's because an unproven (and actually unprovable) axiom is going to end up debating semantics, not whatever the underlying cause actually is.

So instead of fighting a fight where most people are going to be on your side ("Trans people should be treated with basic decency and respect, just like anyone else, should have the same access to their hierachy of needs as anyone else and be protected by the law like anyone else") you get pushback and conflict on shit that shouldn't even be disputed like "Lesbians shouldn't be treated like a racist if they don't want to suck a cock"

I have sent food back if the order is blatantly wrong or not properly cooked. However, this has only happened like a few times in my entire life.

Yeah, most kitchens usually want it right the first time from my experience. That's why I find it's very rare to actually sent a dish back.

Just reading the thread I've probably sent back more plates than the entire thread combined. The point of restaurants is to pay for a PERFECT dish at every course, fancy place or not.

Otherwise make yourself something at home for 1/10th the food cost.

I've never eaten at a fancy restaurant so my answer was no by default lol

I'm speaking for the food industry in general. I worked at all levels of restaurants; the attitude was the same in all of them. You don't require a Michelins star to respect the customer.

If something is wrong send it back, doesn't matter if the plate cost $5 or $500.

Right. Definitely understandable.

But what if the dish was made exactly right, exactly as the customer ordered and they just didn't like it. (i.e. a dish new to them...)

Take it back and let them order something else is the protocol. It's not getting comped though.

You don't get to experiment for free, but a replacement dish to your liking is fine.

It actually almost feels deliberately confrontational and faith based.

I feel the same way with the slogan DEFUND THE POLICE. It's such a non-starter. People who would otherwise be on your side just can't get on board. You have people saying "Well, we don't really mean defund the police just allocate the funds differently" but then other people say "Yes we do mean defund the police. Abolish Them!!"

So you throw your hands up and just go with the status quo and nothing changes.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

It also presupposes the solution while misidentifying the problem inherently in the slogan; the problem isn't "police have too much money" so "take some (or all) of that money away" will fix things.

Bad police don't do what they do because they're bored trust fund kids.


If you treat police as an entry level job that needs no skills knowledge or training, big fucking shock you get people who might not even know what the law is doing illegal stop and searches based on their feels, corruption and kickbacks, coverups and conspiracy. Because you have minimum wage rent a thugs.

If the problem is bad police, then you have to have all options on the table to fix that. One of those options (which is what happens in a lot of other countries) is you treat policing as a highly trained graduate job, you pay high wages, you try and attract educated people, and you train them well. I'd say the majority of people living in high crime zones would much prefer some kind of system where you pay people from the neighbourhood a good wage, pay for their college education and training, and have them patrol the streets where they actually live as part of the community.

I like the tangibles of physical collecting, but I also like the benefits of digital, i.e. no disc swapping, play-anywhere. [Edit} So far, digital codes in physical copies has been a decent compromise, [/Edit] but two things I would love to see from publishers/platform holders...

Disc to digital code trade-in.

User Banned (2 Months): Dismissive commentary about cultural appropriation, concern trolling, and derailing a sensitive thread over a series of posts. Previously banned for similar commentary

Literally everything originated somewhere. Should every piece of clothing, every dance, every cuisine, every language generate royalties for some group? Where does it end?

As a native New Orleanian, I demand royalties from Square Enix every time they use jazz music in one of their games.

How can one council claim ownership of an entire people's cultural identity for themselves? And presumably absorb the economic benefit?

And yes, this. It's one thing to claim to speak for an entire group of people, but it's another altogether to demand monetary gain for yourself, even if that gain will be used for (presumably good) organizational functions.

User Banned (Permanent): Dismissing concerns regarding cultural appropriation, junior account, behavior in violation of recent ban appeal.

Tell me what is white culture in context of Europe. It's like saying black culture when referring to Africa. What is black culture in the context of Africa? Africa has a lot of ethnic groups distinct from each other. That's same in Europe. You can't compare Zulu or Xhosa culture with Yoruba culture. There is no monolithic "culture" in Africa or Europe. "white culture" or "black culture" has a specific context, like in the USA. Like Zulu, Xhosa, Yoruba, etc, it's the same for for Bavarian or Sami or Sorbian or Galician, which are not the same in any way

In both Africa and Europe, indigenous ethnic groups which are thousands of, existed before nation states and the national identity in their regions. Like in Nigeria there are multiple indigenous ethnic groups, they are "Nigerian" as a national identity but there is still the overriding ethnic identities. Some of these groups are minorities among the other larger groups, all being indigenous. That's exactly how it is in Europe too. There are many ethnic groups you have never heard of that exist in Europe

I know that. I'm taking issue with the idea that "other white cultures" are all interchangeable, or that there are no "white cultures" that suffered from oppression and marginalisation.

Take the Irish, or the Ukrainians, or the Basque. Even my own country has successfully marginalised the language and culture of what could be considered its indigenous people, the Frisians, by force.

It's reductive and US-centric to boil all of that down to "white cultures".

Again, I didn't say there was a monolithic "white culture" and I don't think the other poster meant that either. you are completely missing the point.
Why is Saami culture suddenly off limits and "disrespectful" while other white(or not) cultureS (plural) are fair game.

I am sorry to say but you are wrong in stating “nobody is going to do that”. There are plenty of examples of studios hiring experts to support. One of the well publicised examples was with Assassin’s Creed III which set a standard for doing things right.

Because the entire game was about native american culture. They didn't do that for a single item in a cash shop.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

I have tons of empathy for folks that can't go to work because these are being stolen from their cars. I've had shit stolen from me that affected my ability to work. I get it.

Everyone should try to think of the larger conditions that lead to this because otherwise all you get is "tough on crime" nonsense that only enhances punishments rather than stops it from happening altogether.

Victims who are going to experience hardships because of these fucktards don't have the luxury to think about the grander scenarios. Nobody is calling for death sentence for these thieves. But don't expect for people to have sympathy for them either.

There is no way if I am in a VR headset that something like this doesn't cause me to totally spaz out and jump out of the 'playing area'. Isn't the headset wired too? Am I potentially yanking my PS5 out of place by doing something like that? I assume not since this is like day one VR problems. But I look at that gif and know I'm not keeping my composure in that moment. And that's not to mention the horror games which would magnify that issue ten fold.

If someone is looking for account suicide on era


Gender affirming care is not you taking care of the needs of the child . The word gender affirm means enabling a child’s behavior on their gender

So

1. It means that if a child says I’m a girl you are not allowing the child to freely explore which could mean a child is likely to come back and say no I’m a boy . Gender affirming literally means that you enable his choice .
So if a child steals a toy and you enable that behavior , the child will accept that as normal and be encouraged to the point it becomes their personality and they think stealing is normal even in adulthood . If you let the child explore without affirming a lot of children go through that phase. It used to be a phase and those same kids from
Decades ago turned out fine . Most parents now don’t even remember their 30 year old had a 3 month period where they thought they were a girl but if those same parents enabled that thinking that same person would be a Joanne hating twitter activist today

2. Parents are influenced by societal behaviors and trans activists admit parents make decisions based on what’s the trend or what’s viral . This applies to their choice to choose to go with the gender affirming route

3. The trans activists say studies say 95% of kids who transition stay a trans . No shit . If you steal and your parents enable that behavior or if you lie and parents enable that behavior, 95% of the kids who steal will steal in adulthood and same will lie as if it’s nothing in adulthood

I talked to two child psychiatrists who are generally liberal and who are tired that their organization is pushing gender affirming care but they have to flllow the rules . They said there was a trend to give pills to kids for adhd in school and that is now forgotten after a decade .

Study : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6177548/

Background

Adolescence and young adulthood are critical periods to establish health behaviour. Environmental determinants are associated with youth health risk behaviours. These populations are impressionable to a range of social and physical environmental factors.

Keyword : “impressionable to environmental factors” ala gender affirming care



Tldr : instead of choice and free will, Gender affirming care is validation without a choice to return back

Had a discussion about this at work today. But what is going on with gender affirming care is really fucked up as kiddo's can't make those decisions.
Very few of them that want to become firefighters or vets actually choose that career path when growing up. Very few of them who start playing football to become a professional player make it to the top or stay interested.

Kids are unstable and go through puberty and think something is 'wrong' and an adult that they trust like a parent/teacher says: "you are right, something is wrong, you are actually in the wrong body". They then see all this trans shit trending, so they feel like they have to join and treat their 'sickness'. They end up horribly disfigured by surgery or mentally wrecked because of hormone blockers and whatnot. However you can't really say this openly in most cases as it means you'll get cancelled for being a transphobe.

Don't forget Vanille in FFXIII who was based on traditional Himba outfit from Namibia:

Ok this getting silly an outside the scope of this thread. Every single design in media is based off or has elements of some culture. Not single one exists a vaccum and anyone come put a claim demand reparation for it. SE hasn't tried hide the fact their artists like to visit various locations and corporate some of their elements in their fictional worlds. FFXII's world setting and character designs of various NPCs crib from a ton of meditation landmarks, cities and people which dev team went to. This not limited to just them, JRPGs have been driving influences real world culture since SNES era where graphics become more complex. This is not something new but unless a cultural body actually has problem with it as this case they should be the one to bring up not, having random people getting upset on their behalf. There hardly anything nefarious behind it.

When somebody has living in actual privilege:

This reads like a conservative talking point, majority of people are struggling because of shitty employers stealing wages, shitty landlords and property owners jacking up rent and home prices, a society that requires a car instead of reliable public transportation and walkable communities, along with prohibitively costly goods like food and medicine just to survive. The precariousness of the working poor is staying steady (on purpose), wealth inequality is increasing (by design), and some folks are resorting to crime in a decaying society. All the while we get smoke screened by stories like these to keep us agitated at people that are closer to our living situation than the ones actually robbing us and keeping us poor.

White-collar crime threads get a fraction of the agitation and staying power that threads like these do. The impact of white-collar crimes is infinitely more impactful, yet they don't get people riled up like these stories do.

I'm not surprised, just always try to push back against the vitriol and rage that people tend to reserve for criminals lower on the hierarchy of power and influence in society. I would rather we think about how to go about attacking systems and abuses of power, which can actually galvanize workers to advocate for substantive change.

This kind of story is perfectly digestible for liberals and conservatives alike. Nothing moves, nothing changes, but it feels good in the moment, and a collective catharsis of "lol get fucked," is uttered by a mass of people unable or unwilling to challenge the fundamental causes of societal problems.

Holy shit, you fuck, you have never have to deal with low level crime in your life if you think everyone should go with “poor criminal” when they get fucked by them. You think they are Robin Hood and just steal to rich assholes?

They would be lambasting a movie with a 5.7 score if it were Venom 3 or Aquaman 2 or something. The last couple pages of that thread are a lot of "This wasn't that bad, it was better than Thor 4 and Black Widow!" like that's some high bar to clear. 

[Boredfrom]

I empathize with the immediate pain and anger of theft, it's happened to me, it sucks, it's brutal and you want to rage. I understand that, what I push back against is when people act like some people are just shit, like it's human nature, I disagree with that. There are reasons why things happen, you can't just say that a neighborhood is just bad, or a country is just a shithole, I feel the same way about individuals. Human beings aren't just "shit" by chance, there are whole ecological and chronological systems that influence development and behavior, so I never like when people just dehumanize individuals because they are criminals, without considering the broader context. Most especially when they aren't those in power, privilege or prestige, abuses of power by those individuals are more of my target for vitriol and anger.

It's also not a defense of someone or telling people to feel like it's okay that someone did a crime, of course it isn't. It's when there is a pattern of dehumanization and individualization of criminals, especially those that are generally on the lower rungs of society that bothers me. This person that got mangled under a car trying to steal this car part probably had a pretty shitty life and upbringing, not like some privileged banker or CEO ripping off pension funds and lying about it, after growing up with a silver spoon. That's how I come at it.

For someone pushing against the notion of “humanity being shit”, you are pretty shit about it.
