says a guy who is defending folks that crap in shrubs and throw their trash everywhere.

To me it’s when something that wasn’t offensive to anyone gets changed later because a small but vocal group demand it be and pretend to be offended by it. The group that then caves and changes it has gone “woke”. That would be how I think of it. Just my two cents I am not necessarily trying to defend the words use.

Half Life 3 confirmed… 

Beyond that, even within videogames they were sexualized long before FF7. I can think of more than a few PC and Sega/SNES games with sexualized skirts that predate FF7. 

Apparently Ashley (the author) has never been to Japan.

“Games like FFVII recontextualized the skirt as feminine clothing item not only for women to wear, but to be sexualized in.”

This strikes me as an odd blanket statement. Skirts have been sexualized for far longer than their appearance in videogames, and their usage in games is reflective of their usage in reality…

“ Instead of controlled and smart growth the people here want zero growth, more services, and lower taxes.....makes sense eh?”

They’ve been on a roll with great-looking designs, so it was inevitable something ugly was bound to happen eventually, and here it is. Hyundai, you’re so much better than copying design cues from the eye-searingly hideous CyberTruck.

95% of the EV reporting on jalopnik is pro-EV, but it sounds like you’re only going to be happy if the reporting is 100% pro-EV. 

This is the right answer. We have an LX 570. I looked briefly at the telluride and bought a used LX instead. Yea they are thirsty but it makes up for it in reliability. Amazing road trip vehicle. 

My sister has a sorrento whose turbo 4 was replaced a few hundred miles in (dealer didn’t put oil in it)

Then you’re a sociopath, Girlfriend Games is incredibly wholesome and they were actively donating to The Trevor Project while streaming, the psychos that hijacked their streams and brought a woman to tears through bullying aren’t allies of anything or anyone, they’re using trans suffering as an excuse to be shit…

I’m all for standing up for Transgender rights, but if you are going to harass and bully people so aggressively, by even going as far as creating a website to tell you whether a streamer has played said video game, you aren’t exactly creating a healthy narrative.

Yes, you nailed it, let’s disregard the disclaimer right above that paragraph. Fucking troglodyte. Clip Chimping 101 right here!

I understand not wanting to support anti-Trans billionaire JK Rowling 1,000%. I’m not defending any part of that revolting cunt’s war on the Trans community.

They bullied noncontroversial streamers like Girlfriend Reviews and Pikamee for playing or wanting to play the game. This is going very bad, very fast. There’s nothing activist about what they’re doing. This is 100% ‘I want to hurt you because I hate JK Rowling’s political stance’, and its starting to turn people…

Yep. It’s just a side effect of social media. People can pretend to actually ‘do’ something by posting a few words for everyone to see, get pats on the back and tell themselves how better they are than everyone else. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so sad and rampant.

If people want to selectively buy or boycott things, thats fine I have no problem with it, more power to them. When they’re aggressively going after individuals who use that product or service they can fuck right off.

It’s performative. All the hand ringing over this game is performative.

Wow, a Hyundai dealer acting like total shitbags, who would have guessed?
