Dude, you clearly and hilariously have no idea what you're talking about.

It's hilarious how people are so eager to be self-righteous that they completely miss any kind of irony.

Why would I complain about my rights? I have loads!

pointillistic*

Oh, I can throw one. Just not in the intended direction.

I cannot get over how these people manage to throw those things so well. I can barely (read: can't) throw a frisbee in a straight line, whereas this guy can throw a batarang god knows how far and have it come back. Mental.

What I meant is that people, even those who disagree with the stereotype (i.e. sensible people) are apparently unable to disassociate Jewish people with stealing - the game would have quite explicitly stated otherwise.

Yeah, if anything, I think the way everyone is fixating on the Jewish aspect kind of validates the point.

He's presumably connecting the two because other characters assume he steals because he's Jewish.

Why?

Absolutely. I'd argue that CK2 is more person-oriented than most games of most genres.

I wouldn't say he's perpetuating any kind of stereotype. The proposal has the guy as a kleptomaniac. I think the point is that his motivation for stealing is entirely distinct from his being Jewish.

I think the reason we don't see a lot of Jews in video games is the same reason we don't see a lot of explicitly identified Christians or Muslims either: religion, in a video game, is rarely relevant or important.

"This comic itself shows the gamer in a negative light, but it could just as easily be reversed."

;)

?

Well, yeah, I'm not gonna ask you what you do on the toilet. That would be weird.

What was the joke?

It's dumb. I don't see what's ridiculous about the trademark at all; there are lots of copycats trying to profit from Candy Crush's name by deceiving people searching for "Candy". There's nothing wrong with the company having a means of preventing that.

They're not trying to win. The point is that if you don't defend your trademarks, they become weaker and can become subject to abandonment.
