Also, as a reminder, Ubisoft protected and promoted abusers…

A few things (I’m an attorney that dabbles in some defamation cases in the greater LA area). The complaint itself is pretty terribly written and seems to be written for the purposes of media consumption (the identifying of someone as a “then girlfriend” while going to great lengths to explain they were not in fact his…

The problem with infringement is you have to be aware of it.

My worst fears have come true; an immortal Mark Wahlberg

Wish there was a way to guest op these blog posts. There’s a lot to be mad about, but disparaging a study without actually reading or understanding it just creates confusion around academic inquiry for folks who don’t or can’t read scholarly articles and dissect the methodology and results... :-/

Leaving it as an indecipherable language with no translation “others” the characters you interact with. Had they wanted to present the existing cultures of Vinland as purely threatening and dangerous (and let’s face it, this is AC which means they would have been on the being stabbed by the stabby end of things), they…

THIS.

Thank you, that is really a great answer. I think I’ve never seen that explained with the concept of inclusive/exclusive label, but it’s really a great descriptor.

Black Nick Fury?

Thank you for the super-helpful explainer!

He’s not some random person talking with you. He accepted a job that involved reading the names of award winners, and accepting that job means he should have learned how to say their names. When you don’t, it tells the people winning Hugos that you don’t give a shit about them and maybe the con doesn’t give a shit…

Have you ever called a Jennifer “Jenny” and watched them flinch just a little bit, probably before they correct you?

(I’m pretty sure they were making a Westworld reference)

You mean.... WRITE a movie..? Like an Original story!??! About women characters?!?! No....we’re definitely not sure that this can work. No male character??? This is silly talk. You mean we actually have to MAKE something up?

Stacey you coming off as real thirsty and real ambitious for someone that hasn’t won a statewide election yet. There are other more qualified candidates than her. Susan Rice, Val Demmings, Marcia Fudge and Kamala Harris. Hell Keisha Bottoms the mayor of Atlanta is more qualified than Abrams. I mean you didn’t want to…

Eva is what broke me off of anime for a long time (never really gotten back into it tbh). “Stunning, emotional and horrific” is a perfect description but yeah, anyone with depressive tendencies should probably stay away, at least until this is over

Oh god, why would you recommend Evangelion when we are already all depressed and stressed? Are you trying to kill us all? I suppose, It All Returns To Nothing....

It’s a Japanese company! Everyone knows that disabled people don’t exist in Japan!
