No, they usually either have nothing happen to them, or retire with millions and find a cushy sports reporting job. 

The way China is culturally structured the government IS the true authority in the household.  Parents are just there to enforce the state’s authority upon their offspring.  

Bingo. China structures thier society towards the advancement of the state and that demands the party is the true authority. It creates a ridged uniformity and massive groupthink. Our problem is we’ve had a generation of politicians raised on post-cold war rhetoric who believe the lies that they’ve been told about…

Lol. The politicians here will restrict your access to pr0n and other “deviant” to the Lord stuff long before they will take away guns.

How can they enforce it? Easy - the Chinese internet is super restricted, and their law enforcement is particularly brutal and authoritarian.

China has a unique bit structure to actually enforce stuff like this. Unlike the us, the chinese have a national firewall that filters all internet connectivity. They also do not allow encryption without the government having the keys. So in their society, they could actually pull that off... whether they should or…

I don’t think it’s “more woke than the rest of us” but covering every base at once so folks don’t brigade him in the comments or whatever. You see it a lot in people who don’t have strong opinions or are conflict-avoidant (or at least are doing so in these weird tweet-storm psuedo-articles to try and maintain an npov).…

Ian’s just trying to cover all the bases of the ongoing hamster wheel discourse on whether fictional women should be sexy or not.

The first one is the fictional character was given giant boobs, an outfit that shows off the giant boobs, and an idle pose that is literally her swaying her giant boobs because the point of…

bayonetta and zero suit samus are fully clothed so anyone bringing them up can go fuck themselves.

I’m pretty sure her face is plastered on posters throughout the game in a few levels that say “Meet Efi,” but yeah, I agree she’s in the background.

Yeah, see, the thing is? People criticizing the franchise are still allowed to criticize it when what Blizzard has done amounts to tablescraps of representation and storyline.

Just to be a bit pedantic, robots don’t have ethnicity. And even using your examples, “Zenyatta” isn’t Tibetan by concept - his name is derivative of Japanese terms and is more representative of Japanese Chan Buddhism. And while I can’t speak for all minorities, I’ve never look at any four-legged mech and went…

To me, the issue is less that the cast isn’t “diverse enough,” and more that they’re not meaningfully diverse. Yeah, you have people from the Middle East; from Future Australia; robots that are clearly Tibetan (but not really because we don’t want to anger China); characters from Asia and Europe and the Americas;…

Pro-tip: you can be hispanic AND black.

No, this is like celebrating Marvel for taking 19 movies to have a black lead and 21 movies to star a female heroine. Yes, I’m glad they did it. No, that doesn’t mean they should have dragged their feet as long as they did, and it doesn’t retroactively make it better either (if anything, their respective successes…

Skin color is hardly a reason to scrap a character whose flashiest and most eye-catching part of their creation is the clothing they wear. By that metric, any pale-skinned characters were be “too similar”.

Nothing wrong with a cool black soldier lady in the sequel. I just question why they had to wait or, as the author of this article even states, focus on a bunch of other characters that are already over-represented in games. Someone mentioned Ashe below and she was even planned to be black at one point:

As a storyteller, to say that you’ve “had” to save your black woman for a story is a bit weird, because you’re the writers, and you write the story, and there is nothing you have or don’t have to do. You could have altered the story (most of the story isn’t even in the game proper). You could have changed the…

The positive effect the Joker movie I’ve seen on various corners of the world makes the movie so much more than a “theme park”. I live in Southeast Asia, where our cultural values are largely conservative, and social progress still lag behind those in the western world. The impact the Joker movie has had in our…
