There are problems with “cancel culture”, sure. It doesn’t give people room to grow, though at the same time, everyone has the freedom to decide not to want to interact with someone who has said/done things that have hurt them. People jump on things quickly, and this sort of thing can be weaponized, as we saw with the…
Yeah, I get that. Vincent was definitely stuck and immature, but since the game was from his point of view, it ended up veering a bit more into portraying Katherine as a lot more shrill than what was actually going on imo. I’d be interested to see what I think of the game nowadays, but after hearing what happened with…
Hollywood’s Universal is definitely a little cramped; it’s still a working studio, and they also only have so much space and can’t really expand due to everything around it, so it’s tough to do much more there.
Fair, yeah. I don’t think it’s crappy, though; though Hogsmeade is the same, it’s a bit more spread out so it’s less crowded. I can’t completely compare Galaxy’s Edge to it--haven’t had the chance to go yet--but the combo of Hogsmeade/Diagon Alley makes things a lot better imo.
I’d bet they did it because we see Hogsmeade in the movies most often with snow. When I went, right when we entered Hogsmeade, clouds came around with a breeze, so it was really cool, but I definitely get your point, especially in the Florida park.
I almost want to replay the original to see how the gender elements play out, because when I played it in college, I remember it being not just really well-acted, but a great exploration of relationship dynamics for a video game. Thinking back, though, I do think the insistence on Katherine being so... idk,…
Mainstream media isn’t saying we’re more racist; it’s saying that people are more open about it than they had been in recent years.
That has nothing to do with what I said. I can look at, say, Westboro Baptist Church, roll my eyes, and say that what they do is spread hate speech. That doesn’t make me angry or hugely offended by it, which is my point: we can discuss hate speech and criticize things without being suicidal or angry or hysterical.
As much as I’m definitely a sucker for Disneyland (and Universal)... yeah. The idea of building a lightsaber is so so so so so so cool to me, even if the blade doesn’t retract the way the cheaper ones do (since it’s a better build quality and tougher materials), but... why. Besides cosplay. Even the wands at Universal…
eh, the Florida Wizarding World is p cool cuz it has more
I wish they’d do more stuff with Google Maps. Apple Maps still ends up misdirecting me on occasion, so I usually just stick to Google.
It seems strange to me you’d assume a reviewer would use a model less people own lol
Ha! I got the he/him mixed up; I read the sentence as him/he, lol.
You can call something “hate speech” without actually being full-on angry or capital-O Offended. Besides, the press release’s use of “hate speech” was referring to the comments made by the devs, not “OGAY” and “fagbag”, which were separately referred to as homophobic language. I personally just rolled my eyes at the…
Oh, definitely. There are plenty of trolls out there that love to claim minority status just to give validity to their bullshit.
Oh man, Jenna’s also great. I’m sure she has her problems, just the same as Trisha does, but if you watch Jenna’s older videos with her dogs and such, you can tell that despite the money she’s made, she’s very much just doing what she’s always done. I admire that.
Dude, it can be both. I’ve literally watched people learn more about racism, sexism, and rape culture as a result of movements like those I mentioned. I’ve literally seen peoples’ minds change as a result of them. They did make a difference. Even if we take my anecdotal evidence out of the equation, the fact of the…
Prove it. Where has it been established? You went to school at some point in your life, I’m assuming--that means you’ve got to be familiar with the concept of showing your work.
idk dude, I think a lot of the time when people call out offensive content, it’s a lot more along the lines of “whoa, not cool” and not the Ridiculous Loud Anger/Outrage that the (often alt-right) jerks frame it as. We definitely have issues with leaping to conclusions as a society, but let’s not frame criticism and…
