“that led to him not sleeping for a whole awake for a week”
You may recall Jay from this particular Sarah Silverman skit:
And the penny drops! You don’t care about any of this, and you hate that other people do. Because other people caring about it makes you feel guilty for not caring about it, and you hate to feel guilty. I mean who doesn’t? So to absolve yourself of your guilt, you convince yourself that no one else really cares about…
You don’t NOT know what Chase means when they say that. You are willfully being obtuse, acting like ‘please acknowledge this is a problem’ is somehow a selfish thing to ask, just so you can make this straw SJW character asking for a ‘personal’ apology. Shut the fuck up lol
They won two of the suites by proving that the outlets that published it didn’t have sufficient evidence that they were homophobic. They lost the third suit because the outlet that published it did have sufficient evidence that they were homophobic.
Here’s some validation for you: you sound like a real asshole.
Ah yes because we’re so flooded with Star Wars games, heaven forbid some fans of one of the largest media franchises on the planet being upset to see something they would normally be very excited about being associated with a developer that doesn’t respect their existence.
Hey now. It sounds like you think the world may revolve around these different persecuted minorities.
The world revolves around me. A straight, white, cis dude in his mid 30's. Everyone needs to stop talking about serious societal problems. I have yet to be handed my executive salaried, no show job or permanent…
Perceived victimhood like violating French labor laws.
These persecuted minorities need to learn that the world doesn't revolve around them. It revolves around everyone but them!
Not defending Disney, but a company as large as Disney is made up of business units that are ten times larger than Quantic Dream. It’s hard to blame Disney Theme Parks for the company culture in Pixar, for example. Even the top executives at Disney will have very little impact on company culture at the smaller…
Its a slur that is derogatory and aimed at one race of people. Therefore it is racist.
You’d be surprised how often the “I’m not racist, but...” crowd makes this exact argument for words that have a much sharper edge.
Why should anyone adhere to any “rule” that prevents hitting back against one’s oppressors? Those “rules” only exist to keep people oppressed.
Cracker is not a slur, because it’s not disparaging any race, religion, gender, or any other intrinsic attribute of an individual. It’s disparaging an ideology. Specifically the toxic ideology of white supremacy.
Whether or not you want to admit it, cracker absolutely has negative connotations.
The problem is, a human being is not in the best position to establish their relative position in punching up or punching down. Bias is going to play a big factor there
The fact is that yes, he used a slur. No, that’s never a good look.
Nothing false about it. Nice attempt to use a big word, though.
Not true. Words have historical contexts that shape their connotative meaning. “Cracker” has none of the (frankly despicable) historical context of systemic oppression that slurs like the n-word have. Words like the n-word were used to express white dominance over another race and culture. Words like “cracker” were…
