Also, why is there not a single Christian in the pictures? Discrimination. I don’t see a single nun’s habit or priest’s frock or cross with a dying man on, so I guess there are no Christians in these photos either. Disgraceful.

What in your post contradicts the idea that cigarette companies target the poor and marginalized? You’re literally saying that they target those groups because they know they’re easy to sell to. They’re not evil for evil’s sake, they’re evil for profit’s sake. They intentionally push a harmful product to the groups…

This is hardly subtle or savvy, it’s an incredibly easy layup for whatever management consultant they brought in: “Ok... so you’re telling me there’s a large part of the market that you want to tap into... that already likes your product... that is easy to identify and target... and by targeting them you can look like…

“We have to be able to separate art from artist if we’re ever going to appreciate anything,” Here’s an easy lifehack: I will appreciate and praise Polanski’s work as a film-maker, because it is to the best of my understanding and appreciation, great work. I will not do anything that I believe will benefit him…

It is interesting tho

“Sugita is a member of the LDP, or Liberal Democratic Party, which isn’t liberal, but rather, the country’s conservative ruling party.” Or rather, the US has muddled up its words entirely, and forgotten that liberalism actually means an ideology that extols the freedom of the individual, translated into support for…

Goddamnit, Woolie didn’t die for your shitty comic.

So is this - Kanin means Rabbit.

“But there are plenty of solid action shots too”... you have got to be kidding. There are fan films of cosplayers on youtube that feature more solid effects and action shots. The shot of Beast Boy jumping looks unfinished, at best. Starfire’s energy blasts are a C-grade after effects tutorial. This trailer is a mess…

I get the point, and especially the distinction in contrast to calling the players Africans, which is what the less subtle European nazis would do. I also recognize your logic, I do, but I tried it out in my head just now - as a Swede, in a time when right-wing populists are gaining ground, just the thought of calling…

...that’s exactly what a European nazi would say. Trying to apply American standards for racism to other cultures doesn’t work. In the US, the slave trade stole the heritage of the slaves, so acknowledging their hyphenated heritage belatedly is ethical. In Europe, the nazis are saying that even third or fourth…

Meanwhile, if Sam Barsanti had actually wanted to generate some real controversy around Kurt Metzger, he could have just noted that during the time period of 2003-2006, Kurt Metzger lived only two blocks away from an actual pedophile! And meanwhile, if Sam Barsanti had actually wanted to generate some real…

Anybody - who’s the biggest ‘name’ in Hollywood now who’s also a trans-man? Genuinely curious, because while I realize it will be hard for them to find a trans- actor who has the same box office recognition as Johansson, I don’t know how hard it will be - would they need to cast relative unknowns?

Well. They’re role-playing people who will happily feed a troll streamer by giving him some of that sweet internet drama they all seem to live for.

Consent to play by the rules of the game, right? Or are you seriously saying that, for example, somebody in unsafe space in Eve Online shouldn’t be subject to attacks or raids because they haven’t verbally consented?

“SGX said to Kotaku, “but do you get angry at actors on screen when they play EVIL”... I honestly believe that Kotaku does, yes. 

“And if you’re also real damn pissed about this, well:”...then you have an odd relationship with your entertainment products.

“If you got drunk and don’t remember anything from the night before, don’t worry.” I consider myself a pretty heavy drinker and I still say: DO FUCKING WORRY if this happens more than once a year.
