I know the TikTok era zeitgeist doesn’t care much for actual quality, but to me Squid Game was just… okay. It passed the time, it was fun. That’s about it.

Hahahaha, oh my dog, you really are a just a walking talking stereotype. I bet you say things like “we eat only what we hunt”, among other stereotypical masculine bullshit.

My intelligence isn’t up for debate with someone who can’t even capitalise properly and doesn’t bother to spell correctly.

*belaboured sigh*

This is nothing but a bad faith argument, but I’m used to those here. You approach the argument well, but your points are all moot because they all come down to the same thing: we need guns. At that point, I have to accept that you are so misguided that you are compromised entirely.

You hit the nail on the head. I’m not in the US myself but instead the UK, you have no idea how applicable what you said is here as much as there though.

I would say you probably aren’t missing much, but when it’s your own family or close friends etc that’s a much harder sell. You absolutely did the right thing though, calling their thought process into question is the only sane response and plenty of people (perhaps rightly) wouldn’t have the guts.

“The entire, original voice cast is, too, who will be dubbing the live-action Netflix show’s Japanese language track.”

I’m 100% certain that’s the entire point. Just look at the flashbacks, with that horrendous blur/smoke effect. It’s intentional. They’re going for the 70’s sexploitation style mixed with Chinatown.

Oh yeah, of course, in lieu of my ideal world (which is so very far from reality), tougher restrictions, controls and laws on gun ownership are the ideal middle ground. For now. But the concept that you need a gun… it’s mind boggling and sick.

In your defence, I avoid TikTok like the plague and have no context for his work at all. I came to the article after the references had already been removed. As a non-user I would’ve appreciated at least one for context, but I’ll be fine without it. Good on you for listening.

Control? How about “no fucking murder machines at all”?

I would say a “TikTok star” would be exactly that kind of person.

Surprised he didn’t go for the knees.

“Buggy” is one way to put it. It was an absolute broken mess.

I see a few people saying “so what”, “big deal”. And in this instance, it’s hard to feel like we’re really missing much. The precedent it sets is the scariest part of all this.

“If you want to get up on a pulpit and say “fuck Nintendo”, then I hope you are also boycotting literally every other game company/film and music production agency in existence.”

Because? Because I felt like it? Because I just did? What does it matter? I had the various other articles to hand. Some of which were written well before the Kotaku one.

I’ve tried this with shitting. Inevitably though, you have to do it. On one side, it makes it a fair bit more anally traumatic in the end but on the flip side, the level of satisfaction is almost incomparable.

I did tweet it out to them before that article presumably, as they don’t have a tip line any longer. But they likely would’ve been on it anyway.
