This isn’t strictly a Genshin Impact problem, in other words. Whether we’re talking Hilichurls, Bokoblins, or some other fantasy race that acts as an endlessly disposable baddy, it always comes back to that same ugly calculus. [...]
It is the latest permutation of a trope that represents a wider systemic issue in…
I’ve often referred to the American left/ right schism as people dehumanizing those who hold other values, and reducing them to being “the enemy.”
It’s the difference between saying “Japanese culture tends to value the concept of honor very highly,” and saying “this person must value the concept of honor very highly because they are Japanese.” The first is a statement of fact that is true at the general scale at which it’s being applied. The second is an…
Everyone says they’re right and the other side is wrong. Everyone.
Literally no one sits around thinking “boy am I on the wrong side of history and doing horrible, horrible things.”
Another conflict arose when the studio became insistent on Fisher saying “booyah” in the film—a catchphrase often used by Cyborg in the animated series Teen Titans.
And, logically, he’s one of the “star” characters. No one wants to play the magic student that’s flunking their classes or can only pass by cheating. Achievement and skill is expected.
One of Strixhaven’s students, Killian Lu, struggles under a domineering parent and labors to exceed the almost impossible expectations placed on him.

I imagine an abortion centrist might be either:
I don’t agree with the moral of the picture and am pretty staunchly of the opinion that abortion rights are necessary.
But I can’t hate on Jamie Kennedy for this.
This always rubs me the wrong way.
However, having written that, I’ve also seen events of people paying a, to me, far disproportionate a price for dumb tweets or comments from ages ago because of that current social media backlash

1) WotC didn’t steal this. The freelance artist they hired to do the card stole this.
While, ideally, WotC should have checked. It’s probably not possible to compare new art orders with every piece of Magic fanart online.
That’s why your argument fall flat as it doesn’t address the reality (or at least the reality of the US which I would assume influence Twitch the most considering it is own by an American company). The more restrictions and regulations you apply, the tougher it is to enforce these rules equitably and certain groups…
There’s never too much Joe Manganiello.
What is it with JRPGs and weird, experimental games as Apple crossovers.
I think your argument has merit up until how stringent you think Twitch’s guidelines should be for the attire of creators. ‘Cause if Twitch was to ban bikinis and other similar attire than Twitch would become more restrictive as a platform than YouTube.
Oh, hyperbole....
