I actually like a lot of MatPat’s videos but this one really rubs me the wrong way.

Y’know, when I saw “divisive song” in the headline, I immediately thought that the song had something inherently offensive (as in, racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.) in it.
That's some nice applied science <3
New to Star Wars Fandom?
Would love to be able to do this with an elite controller.
He is allowed to donate to the party of his choice. We’re allowed to criticize it.
Sony HAS done this FREQUENTLY over the years. Get over it
Except that Starfield and Redfall are not existing IPs that Sony has had on their consoles. They didn’t come out saying ES6 or FO5 will be Xbox exclusives did they? Sony has bought several 3rd party studios that have made Xbox games, but are now Sony exclusive.
It’ very nit-picky. We scream about representation, and when someone does it, it still isn’t good enough and then we shit on the people who are on our side.
Agreed. There’s always going to be *someone* that doesn’t like the way you run the ship. As you correctly pointed out, LMM has done more for minorities than most people in the same profession/position.
LMM has done more to promote minorities on stage and screen than anyone else in the last dozen years or so. Too fucking bad if there’s not enough of a particular minority featured in “In the Heights” - he shouldn’t have to apologize for shit.
And make sure you vote at every single stage of the process, from the candidates in your township right up to the presidential vote.
I find it interesting how you can call yourself progressive yet waste precious oxygen defending bigots, fascists and war criminals from the consequences of their actions.
What I will not do is reject and demonize anyone who does not agree with me by presenting them as horrible people, caricatures, that do not represent the truth of who they are overall.
Who is saying he shouldn’t have the “right” to donate to them? People are simply pissed because they’re finding out that money they gave him through buying his game is going to fund politicians that are trying to pass legislation that will take their rights away.
I just don’t believe in taking a purist absolutist stance and throwing art and people away for things like this.
You don’t need to misrepresent the issue. It is in no way similar to McCarthyism to simply criticize people with right wing affiliations for actions they take which further harm. The money Cawthorn put towards this is money spent to limit the rights of people like me, and no wishy-washy ‘free speech’ chirping or…
Criticising an artist’s political spending is not book-burning, dude. Nor is it “modern McCarthyism”. Noone’s calling for Cawthorn and his games to be banned, don’t give me that strawman bullshit.
Nothing here is “modern day McCarthyism”. Its the free fucking market. If I don’t want to support a dickhead’s work, I don’t have to. That’s entirely my First Amendment right, just like it was his First Amendment right to support those appalling candidates.
“Just because this guy happens to disagree with some liberal causes absolutely does not mean he doesn’t love his LGBTQIA+ fans or that he supports all right-wing policy.”
