You see by putting in that proviso they get to sweep that interpretation of their article to the side as illegitimate. I don’t make the rules, but that’s how they work.  This allows them to then proceed to engage in the overly cynical and bad-faith interpretation, because at the end of the day that’s much easier than…

Maybe they thought that dressing up in traditional attire of cultures that aren’t their own as white people would’ve been 10x worse.

No one is ‘so mad’, it’s just like 20 people on Twitter. I’ve seen just as many people be happy to be represented and feel seen by the campaign.

In the end...it really is just Dungeons and Dragons.  It has inspirations from other cultures...sure.  It also has dragons and talking robots and people who can shoot fire from their hands.  Why doesn’t the author make the same complaint of Wizards of the Coast themselves?

So....a solution? Sounds like you don’t want them to explore these cultural identifiers and the explorer-genre tropes. Should half the cast be fired and people you find “approved” be playing this game?

“This may seem like an overly cynical and bad-faith interpretation of what Critical Role is doing with this new campaign.”

Maybe he should’ve done this for Kelly Marie Tran, who got bullied so hard for playing a fictional character that she had to quit all forms of social media.

Boyega is one of the few good things about the sequel trilogy. And watching other films he was in, I honestly think he’s the main reason Finn was my favorite ST character.

Look you can love whatever game you want. Ive always held the opinion that other people’s negative opinions on things I like can shove it.

This is a bad take. It’s cool that you’re pumped to see Jolteon and Hitmonlee and Rhydon roaming around the wild area. It is equally cool for someone to be upset that they don’t see Bulbasaur, Squirtle, or Beedrill roaming around. I see a lot of these pieces that are framed like “Well you would never catch all 900+…

100k to live in a major urban California area is barely enough, if it is at all. Especially if you like to have kids, a wife, a house...

Jerome3000, we’d like to issue a formal apology for forcing you to read about video games. We’re sorry we put you in a diaper and spanked you until you could name all the Overwatch heroes. Truly sorry.

There’s this handy feature on your mouse called a “scroll wheel” that can be used to move past things you don’t give a shit about. You appear to have used the “left click” button instead, and that’s why you’re here reading about something you don’t care about.

The controversy is that clearly the developers at Respawn don’t want to publicly trash their colleagues at Infinity Ward (the devs of Infinite Warfare), but EA is doing it on their behalf. You may remember, BTW, that Respawn was formed from a large contingent of people departing Infinity Ward, so there’s no doubt that…
