Very telling that you have no response for how this is related to the issue at hand. Just keep dismissing replies pointing that out - I’m sure no one else will notice.

What does any of that have to do with Americans making light of 300,000 Japanese civilian deaths with memes on Twitter in 2023?

What a great comparison, since Japanese Twitter users are constantly mashing up the Nanking movie poster with a kids’ movie that came out at the same time. Remind me - which kids’ movie is it that they’re insensitively adding Prince Asaka to?

No, there’s not. In the US, at least, anyone can call Twitter anything they please, and journalists have the same rights we all do.

“U-2"

Misspelling “Aronofsky” I understand, but I’ve NEVER seen anyone mess up “U2”. Truly impressive!

It’s so sad someone made you click on it, and made you read it, even though you’re definitely “tired of these bullshit articles.” So sad it’s not possible to just skip the ones you don’t want to read.

Wow, what a needlessly shitty thing to say. Way to try to spread a little more negativity in the world - you have improved absolutely no one’s day.

Statistically, we don’t know a damn thing about how common habitable worlds are. We don’t even have a sliver of data to generalize from yet. Wake me up in a couple centuries and MAYBE we’ll have a slightly better sense.

By what moral or ethical code is property more important than someone’s life? This is not a “progressive” stance: it’s the stance of literally every moral leader since Jesus Christ. And I’m an avowed atheist.

What does your ignorance have to do with the facts of this case? This has happened to people all over the US.

I know there are zero standards around here, but 114 million people did not watch his first episode. Even if you believe the numbers Twitter puts on tweets, it only means 114 million people were served his video in their feeds. It’s unlikely more than a few percent of those “views” translated into actually watching…

I had the same thought: you can’t copyright game mechanics. But it sounds like this case might be more about breach of contract. Hard to tell from this post alone. I can legally copy your game mechanic after it releases, but I can’t work on a project for one company and then take all those game mechanics to another…

Wait what? The Wachowskis are both trans, and have been pretty clear that the Matrix is explicitly a trans allegory:

People who lack representation in popular media care a great deal. Just like black kids were very excited for a black Little Mermaid, trans kids are rightfully excited to find trans representation in a movie. There’s a big difference between saying “it’s okay to be who you are” and showing it.

I dismissed your replies for, once again, not having a single original thought. Stop parroting racist talking points and pretending you’re “just asking questions.” That’s what racists *always say*.

You’re so close to getting it - good luck explaining why white people need “inclusion” when they’re already depicted at a much higher rate than they naturally occur in the general population.

Why do racists like you break out this argument as if it’s brand new, and you just thought of it? This has been the first…

Black people have existed in Europe for its entire existence. Pretending otherwise is ahistorical and nakedly racist.

Why wouldn’t he do it? If, for example, the cost of complying exceeds the cost of just blocking news links, he actually has a fiduciary responsibility to block news links.

Something can be both tactically brilliant AND cringe at the same time.
