He doesn’t specify how they “verge on uncomfortable,” but I’m willing to bet it’s not just because they’re shirtless dudes sitting in hot tubs.

No, it isn’t. It’s probably best known for adult content, but OnlyFans is not exclusively a platform for porn.

Both sides don’t have valid points, actually. One of them is just another endless repetition of ancient puritanical talking points moved to a new platform, and the other is not that.

If Twitch doesn’t want to host this kind of content, they should just come and say that, rather than trying to weasel their way out of by demonetizing these streams or moving them to their own categories.

Sure, it’s completely reasonable for advertisers to not want to be associated with certain content. It’s not reasonable for Twitch to unequivocally remove ad revenue without communicating with the creator first.

I mean, you don’t have to be upset if you don’t want to, but it is concerning that Twitch would just pull ad revenue without warning or notice from one of their streamers.

In Amouranth’s case, she’ll probably be fine, but if they can do it to a streamer as large as her, why can’t they do it to a smaller streamer who…

Is it a “loophole?” Or is it just...they’re not breaking the terms of service?

Presumably because it draws attention and clicks, and you, by clicking on and commenting on this article, are driving the engagement that makes reporting like this profitable.

Like, lmao, dude. This is a blog. Things are driven by clicks. Sorry you don’t like it, I guess.

Because “murdering 100 sheep” isn’t a problem that people in the real world have to deal with, but creeps looking up people’s skirts and making light of the struggles intersex people face is a real issue, and a video game incentivizing it with an achievement is gross?

Victim points? What the FUCK are you talking about, man?

Legends looks pretty disappointing, since they initially announced it as an MMO but it’s been developed as a pretty generic looking Diablo clone. I’m not holding my breath on this one.

Sadly, a lot of neo-Nazis love American History X, because Edward Norton looks like a “badass” and they ignore the obvious moral message in favor of that. Sort of like people who missed the point of Fight Club.

On the other hand, conservatives have always reacted against new and different stuff they don’t like. Rock music? Dungeons and Dragons? Violent video games? Right-wing Democrats occasionally jump on those trends, but it’s mostly Republicans and evangelical Christians leading those crusades.

I mean, hedge funds control enormous amounts of wealth and use that to generate more wealth. But despite what neo-liberal economists will tell you, there is no such thing as infinite growth. That wealth comes from somewhere - from vulture capitalists buying successful businesses, running them into the ground, and then…

European countries also have actual hate speech laws and social media restrictions, so the media environments are very, very different.

There’s a reason there are American neo-Nazis all willy-willy on Twitter in America and none in Germany.

I mean, any piece of media with megacorporations as a major driving force probably doesn’t have nice things to say about rampant corporatism. And Cyberpunk 2013/2020/2045/Red features several megacorps as antagonists or outright villains.

It’s pretty expansive, as far as RPG settings go, since it’s been built onto for…

? Even the Cyberpunk RPG had something to say.

I mean, he is an actual Marvel comics character with a really ridiculous name, so I thought it worked okay.

I mean, we know the origins of the Taint: the Tevinter Magisters tried to go to the Golden City of the Maker in the Fade, and depending on the source, the Maker tainted them to punish them, or the city was already tainted when they arrived. Either way, they then spread the taint to their Dragon Gods.

Between defeating…

He’s more memorable for the Mage origin, where he seems like a relatively mild-mannered shy Templar, where as by the time you run into him in the Mage Tower he’s become fairly unhinged and is ready to kill all the Mages because of the things he’s seen.
