Ah, a straggler from the Jack Thompson crusade. Well, I’ll be delighted to fill you in: Violent video games don’t cause violence, bad environments do. When it comes to the recent ‘trend’ of anti-protesters running people over in their cars, it’s probably because they’re not being held accountable for their actions,…

Ding ding ding. This is the one.

That too.

Or maybe, said takes are from people from other countries that marvel and the mental gymnastics you americans perform in order to defend your right to bear arms in the face of constant death in your home turf. Just maybe

Never forget, when someone is obviously guilty as hell of something and they willingly plead incompetency, there is no doubt they absolutely meant to it.

Ah yes, white female tears..One of the most effective & potent weapons in the arsenal of white supremacy/power. That shit has resulted in the legendary “strange fruit” - southern “strange fruit”.

No it means the case wasn’t worth risking in court, the costs were getting out of control, and/or the lawyers realized that they’d get a nice cut without dealing with extended litigation.

Unfortunately the nature of US laws, settling is very often much more favourable than actually going through the legal process, whether right or wrong. So when I see US cases settled I don’t automatically think the worst of the settler.

I didn’t start playing video games yesterday. It’s nothing new and I knew what I was purchasing. Everyone gripes about new Battlefield till its the best Battlefield. Every time a new one comes out a bunch of sad sack fan boys “will never play or buy another BF game again” (small violin playing just for them). It’s…

White person not called out, fuck that, put out that racists name, they are already doing it on tik tok. Fuck their privacy.

In my day, wypipo using racial slurs got their asses kicked. That’s what they need these days.

Some people are looking for acknowledgment that they were wronged. It also essentially forces the apologizer to admit the accuser was correct, which can be beneficial going forward.

You don’t think it’s important that they admit fault?

How condescending is that? And why would you want an apology you needed to ask for? It’s meaningless.

I mean geez.. if we had even half the powers that are being claimed on us, we would rule the world.. (practically supermen, with the power to move so quick that no one can see us... sadly with a weakness for lead though).

Ask any devotee and you’ll get some story about endlessly rerunning “The Library” in Halo: Combat Evolved
