Minorities are part of many systems that result in them being a byproduct of apathy and antipathy. They aren’t the majority, and the majority are able to grow up without interacting or relating to them. As a result of this, the majority are more likely to be criminalize out of their sheltered ignorance and fail to…

He killed an innocent person over being loud huh. Be tormented, asshat.

If I prayed, I’d only pray for guys like this to die horribly.

I miss Usenet, too, but we have to accept that it’s been used this way for over fifteen years now. We’re past the point where we can make troll mean the same thing as back in the mid-nineties.

Pretty sure Kotaku has run stories in the past about how Twitch is more lenient towards streamers with more followers... and Amouranth has over a million followers.

It’s worse than that though.

This reeks of the same kind of shit girls get put through with school dress codes. Constantly policing women and girls bodies for being ‘sexual’ yet nothing about men and boys, you know, not being terrible.

One of the biggest and worst failings of social media in general is the outright incapability, willful and otherwise, to regulate their own platforms effectively. Part of the reason Twitch even started featuring other kinds of streaming content that wasn’t exclusively about gaming was because there wasn’t enough money…

A white person spitting on someone *at an African American history museum* is at best extremely insensitive to context, but probably just plain racist. He didn’t spit off the balcony at the mall. I’m sure the school explained to the kids why they were going to these museums before they went, so I’m not even going to…

Its simple she shouldnt have done the character period. There are tons of characters out there in the world for her to do. Its simple white people should not do black characters PERIOD. Its not hard.

“What was she supposed to do, make the character white? Then wouldn’t there be people shitting on her for black erasure”

There is literally no school of thought that shames white people for cosplaying characters as white. The generally agreed upon “rule” is cosplay whatever you want, just don’t do any raceface.

So at…

“I understand where the history is coming from but this is just the kind of things that will separate people more than unite.”

Ah yes, the ole “the more we talk about racism the more racist people get” bullshit. 

If the intent matters than the fact that Livanart heard criticisms from ‘some black people’ and did it anyway matters more.

The core problem is this: It doesn’t matter how detailed, how much care she took, or anything else: Livanart is still treating race as a costume. Race is not an accessory or costume that can simply be taken off at the end of the day.

“Now, more than ever, we need to use our platforms to speak out against the human rights violations happening in China and around the world, and advocate for freedom of speech and basic human dignity.”

FULLY owned by Tencent.

And since someone wants to keep dismissing my comments that are critical of China, I will say this of how companies are guilty:

“we believe this opportunity comes with a responsibility to keep personal views on sensitive issues (political, religious, and otherwise) separate.”

Its possible that the casters got together after seeing what Blizzard did and erred on the safe side independent of Riot. Being brave is great and all but all of the people supporting you aren’t gonna pay your rent if you get fired.
