I think the internet's anonymity makes for honesty in the mists of an otherwise superficial society. Having anonymity allows one to not feel threatened and pressured by the thoughts of his/her peers in the real world, and thus it allows him/her to speak their mind on issues that are more than often considered barred

It's too reductive to just say anything they fail at is a matter of artistic vision. It's not just art. It's a product. One that considerably slipped their publisher's shipping date, and likely were still behind on when they went gold. Is that a matter of art if they cut corners to make release? Would the ending have

I remember a time when artistic integrity trumped the very idea of bowing down to the masses to adhere to the internet's vocal discontent with anything they deemed "Not to their liking." Perfect example was Mass Effect's ending. Oh you don't like the ending? Piss off and write your own damned game. Oh you want edgy

I find the entire school of thought in this article troubling. Primarily, the entitlement that it assumes. It's the assumption that because you are a fan of "Show A" and you talk online a whole bunch about "Show A", that the creators of "Show A" should listen to, and change their product based upon your comments.

You said, "Everyone—commenter, creator, or anything in between—needs to be part of the process if anything's gonna change"

Because you're a fucking idiot who thinks they're clever, that's why.

"Hurting people" for not getting into the internet shitstorm about the show's content for the billionth time? What? Let them do their own craft. I couldn't give a crap that they rightfully choose to ignore all the noise from Internet commentators who wants to shame and throw their influence around towards the creators.

Fuck that, it's not a problem at all.

Weiss and Benioff have done a fucking incredible job of keeping the quality of GoT consistent and are telling the story exactly how they want to tell it. The fact that HBO hasn't stepped in and asked for, or flat out demanded, massive changes and are letting them execute it the way

"adding shock value for shock value's sake isn't good or necessary"

You are speculating over the reasons they included the alleged rape scene.

Thats not a problem at all. They're creative artists. They're making this show to their own vision and the vision of their collaborators.

Honestly, I'm getting tired of this growing attitude where fans think the story should be told the way they want it to be told. I've been getting sick of this attitude since Mass Effect 3. That's not how stories work. Someone writes it, someone else experiences it. The reader/viewer doesn't have to like it, but they

This dude is going to the bank laughing.

He could have sold anytime in recent memory and made that exact same boatload. He didn't, because he wanted to own the team. Now he can't.

Not much that can be done about that.

Honestly, at this point, the only Star Wars I'm really looking forward to is a hopefully amazing Battlefront 3.

lol I was at the Texas race last year. It is actually pretty hard to comprehend the generality of stupidity that attends such events. What I find even more ironic is the technology involved in developing the engines and cars in NASCAR is so far above the average intelligence of the typical gear head that it's funny

Your WRONG. There WAS an INDEPENDENT witness (yeah, NOT her husband) whom stated she was WELL ABOVE the speed limit not 5-6 (miles or km's - we're metric up here - so a witness wouldn't have said miles). There was NO roadside (not legal in court anyway) breath test performed. There is NO record of this and NO police

"game changer" ... LOL. "The road is clear and you're the only one around....Suddenly you see a flash of bicycles immediately in front of your headlights" In other words, either your headlights were off, or you weren't watching the road, or you were driving too fast to stop safely. Negligence.

She was speeding. Regardless of stories of what may have happened and alternative points of view, that's why you don't fucking speed. Especially down a dark road without your full beams on. And when you do, and you kill/ injure someone, it's YOUR FAULT.

I believe that in Canada spousal privilege applies only to communications, not to observations. This would mean the husband can be compelled to testify.
