I think the answer to your question “why” is because a reviewer’s hot take is proportionate to public fervor. It happens in movies as well, but I think it’s especially troublesome in cases like this, where they’re reviewing a massive, open world, sandbox-choose-your-adventure RPG. Pretending that you should get a…

In 2019 the movie industry made $41 billion and the music industry made $19 billion.
Video games made $152 billion.

Yeah, I never understood that, nor the early RE games’ typewriter nonsense.

Well, it IS a comic strip about (mostly) games. We don’t read it for clever insights on the human condition, or eloquent soliloquies on the meaning behind The Gift of the Magi :)

I find Penny Arcade more amusing than most, but this week’s was pitch perfect.

There ya go, this is how you properly get a point across.  Thank you.

Close but I dont quite think you got the translation right. Im white but of a slightly different culture so I think I can help.

it’s interesting that such a seemingly basic question—how many police officers have been killed in 2020, 2019, etc.—is not easy to find, which is interesting, because knowing the martyr complex so many police unions carry, if it were a horrible, eye-catching number, they’d be splashing it everywhere possible. I saw a…

As I recall, it is far more dangerous to be a pizza delivery driver than to be a police officer.

Every occupation has varying degrees of risk. No cop gets to bitch about their plight because they knew what to expect long before they left training. Most of them choose this profession because they are either cowards who need the power or bullies who love the power. Either way, these traits, coupled with lethal…

Being born black is way more dangerous than this chosen profession.

They’re not even first in first responder deaths. Most years EMTs are MURDERED more on the street than Police Officers. And they’re defenseless. To say nothing of firefighters that come damn near close, also sometimes beating officer deaths. But when you include retirement deaths from cancer and other occupation…

And 90% of those deaths are do to traffic accidents because they’re in their car so much. 

Interesting point, I never thought about that. Police is the 16th most dangerous job in the US according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Behind pilots, roofers, truck drivers, garbage men, farmers, iron workers, landscapers, Construction laborers, and agricultural workers.

As the whitest person you’ve ever met and an expert on my people, I assure you they have no interest in solving it.
They just want to blame someone else for it.

But, y’know, fix it without changing anything for us? Yeah, that’d be great. Maybe, and this is just a suggestion, maybe we could do a kind of “Black History MonthS” instead of “Black History Month”. Or what... what if Starbucks had a cup that was black, green and red? Something like that...

“Please fix racism for us”

And once again let’s remind everyone that statistically being a police officer is not nearly as dangerous as many other professions. 

Isn't it illegal to be an accomplice to terrorists, oh wait, they are white, its ok

NYPD: If we won’t let them kill black people in their official capacity, they’ll find other ways to get it done.
