LOL. A sandwich with out mayo. I pity your dry and flaky lifestyle.

“The straights” is not a thing though. There’s no long-standing history of the term being used to demean that group, to take away their rights, and block them from opportunities the same way terms like “queers” or “the gays” has for a long time. There’s not a lot of historical events where the majority were queers who…

Yes, because people who didn’t like Ghostbusters 2016 and are still bringing it up in 2023 are the real victims here.

“Your prejudice is just as awful as the people who are review bombing.”

I get so confused about what kind of queerness is socially acceptable.

It’s absolutely in bad faith. If it had been Bill and Jill, they wouldn’t have been able to stop talking about how someone was cutting onions because it’s impossible to say that someone moved you so much that you started crying.

Ive seen a lot of people complaining that Druckman ruins everything with ‘wokeness’ though i’m pretty sure based on an interview I read that this episode was Mazin’s idea and Druckman initially opposed it.

Regardless it’s one of the most beautiful episodes of television I’ve seen in a long time.

I also see a lot of…

“Looks like the most popular choice is to say the episode had no purpose.”

It would be nice if they would get that annoyed about TikTok being so draconian in the first place that they have to invent code words and like, boycott or something productive...but it’s easier to bully people for not knowing their slang I guess.

The “but what about the devs who worked on it?” argument has always been sophistry.  Aside from the fact that those guys don’t get paid royalties, they knew who they were working for.  They could’ve chosen to not work on it, but they did anyway.  If you have a moral objection to giving JKR your money, that should…

Was George Washington a hero or rebellious traitor?

I would quit my job at a videogame development studio if I knew I’d have to work on a toxic IP. I’d quit my job if I knew the outcome is the perpetuation of an IP that only serves to make a rich bigoted woman all that much richer.

Isn’t judging people by their actions like the one thing we should judge them for? I get it if you want to stick it out with a bad actor family member because there’s a lot of social baggage in those kinds of relationships, but JK Rowling is probably nothing to you. If you can reconcile their shitty behaviors…

“Loads of people say and do terrible things and nobody should be judged for it”

Wow, I can’t believe the developers were forced at gunpoint to develop a game, and will only be paid after the game is released.

Well, yes. You’re kind of a douche if you are knowingly giving money to somebody who is actively using that money to dehumanize and oppress trans people just so that you can have some fun.

“It was important for us to give players who sought out to be a Dark Witch or Wizard an opportunity to do so,” lead designer, Kelly Murphy, told Gamesradar. “This is the ultimate embodiment of role-playing; allowing the player to be evil. Additionally, this was important because it comes from a place of non-judgement…

I made this exact comment to my wife while watching the second episode... but as a joke. We both had a good laugh.

Man, y’all’s TLOU takes keep getting more and more contrived.

On the flip side, the bit about stepping on certain fungus sending messages to nearby infected was something that sounds like it would fit in well with the game. Maybe they should do a video game adaptation of the TV show. The Last Of Us The Show The Game.
