Government will never solve a cultural problem. That said, by assuming the negative cultures are a consequence of the skin color and sex of a given demographic, you’ve just contributed to perpetuating a culture of systemic discrimination and judgment.

No, but it does hurt to be presumptuous.

Regarding the original title, “Game industry women need you to stop defining them by their trauma”, this is something that’s universal, whether you’re taking about black people, native Americans, domestic and child abuse victims, and so on. We are NOT our trauma. Trauma is the consequences of bad shit we survived, and…

No, you always have work, no matter what. There is no such thing, nor has there EVER been such a thing, as a world or system in which people don't need to produce in order to survive.

PS3's USB ports we’re NOT too slow to run games from. Sony simply refused to allow it. Xbox 360 has the exact same speed USB ports as the ps3 (USB 2.0, 480Mb/s) and you can plug in up to two 2TB external USB drives and play games directly from them.

Man, and I thought the war on drugs was stupid.

That’s the whole game industry, though. I challenge you to find any company, especially among Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, who doesn’t do that. And to be fair, have development is *complex*, and a lot of shit can go wrong. And you know how gamers are: release late but high quality, they won’t. Release on time but…

Nevermind that the VAST majority of corporations are businesses owned by individuals or fabulous just trying to protect their asses against annihilation by frivolous litigation 🤣.

That’s easy, actually. I mean, it’s a fuckload of work, but it’s not very complex. 

Because it’s the same thing: a dogmatic repetition of a singular cause for all perceived ills.

Actually, I put in overtime hours for *better* pay (which then my government taxes me for at a higher rate so it can give my overtime earnings to someone else).

Incomplete. You need to work because of *nature*. But you’re able to choose what work you do and for whom because of capitalism. At least, what little of capitalism we have. Mostly we have cronyism, thanks to socialists who don't understand why government and private industry should be as separate as church and…

It’s been trendy for awhile. Anyone who makes anything they want to sell or trade is automatically a sadistic monster who eats fetus flakes for breakfast. You didn't know that?

Ummm... They've literally spent billions in the last couple of years acquiring studios building exclusives. They showed off a bunch of them today.

And it's beautiful because of that. 

There are no perfect systems of any kind, anywhere.

*ban, not have. Stupid autocorrect.

Dude, a LOT of people, all across the political divide, have become puritanical brutes the last few years. It's absurd.

I think Twitch just wants to be a place where people stream things, people watch things, and they get a cut of the proceeds. 

“Didn’t have to compete”—and there’s a piece of the puzzle. The people calling for bans on hot tub streamers (or any streamers, really) are anti-capitalism and anti-liberty. Full stop.
