I uninstalled the game last season and based on what I’ve seen since Tuesday, I don’t think I’ll be logging in ever again. Their big announcement yesterday boiled down to:

We’re adding a new energy type to the game. Here’s the names of the next three expansions. We’re going to start disabling content created under…

Consider who owns Jezebel these days - a private equity firm, who’s partners would much prefer a second Trump term to a Biden presidency. Follow the money.

You know, I can understand how, at first glance, the NYT piece can read as classist.

I’m white. While I don’t consider myself a racist I can remember an occasion where it was pointed out to me that I’d said something racist. My reaction was along the lines of “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean it that way but I understand and I promise to do better in the future.”

You expect our Joan to actually read the article? How dare you! /s

The Destiny Vault? No. Bad idea. There's never any reason to remove content.

I really don’t get why you’re okay with this- and you are okay with this given your last line about ‘outrage’ about something that happened four years ago...she was 27- not a fucking teenager. I would be outraged if she had said ‘gook’ instead of ‘n***a’ (and I am disgusted by her). I’m still grossed out at Mickey…

Gonna be honest, I’d prefer a D3 right about now. The foundation they have for D2 is so utterly busted and so not set up for a long-term update model that it’s just ridiculous. I’d rather them make a new base from scratch that’s designed for the long-haul MMO-esque model they originally planned for with D1. Also fuck…

You say that it’s okay to say in songs, and you become that black friend that says it’s okay to say that word.
Because within the month, YOU will be called that by them.
Because this happened with the word ‘Negro’, and ‘Colored’, and with MAGAts running around it WILL happen again if you let them use it in a song.

I am…

I feel like you’re subconciously low-key trying to condone this, when the response should be that it’s awfully convenient that only the white folks have their own shows/series.

Tom Scott did a great video about this recently.

Just stop. Alright? Just stop. 2.4 million dead since 2003, and this Syrian conspiracy theory spread by Georges Sada with no evidence - even in his book, he just says that it was something he heard - still lives.

While the move responsive combat is interesting, most of these mods are just making the female characters more blandly attractive. Peebee is a punk, we make her sexier. Let’s get your main character into more revealing outfits. With TATS. Let’s make the gang leader a hot young model instead of a grizzled veteran. Bleh.…

Bennett is an idiot for not reading the piece prior to publication. He has to know who Cotton is and what he was likely to write. So just on stupidity alone it is appropriate that he is out.

Tom Cotton sounds like a GoT royal bastard name for somebody born on a motherfucking plantation. Tom Cotton is here to defend his people south of the Mason Dixon Wall from the Black Marchers.

“This will allow women to be oppressed,” claims individual immediately defining women solely by their ability to have children, shoddily argued with a “binary sexes” argument that falls apart when you remember intersex people exist.

Best commentary I have seen here in a while.  Came here to express the exact same opinion.  Brilliant.  More of this please. 

That’s the kind of comment that wins the Internet...
