You really do have an issue with understanding what “consent” is, don’t you?
Pretty sure he’s referring to multiple incidents of YouTubers espousing or tacitly supporting the ideas of the Third Reich that reached national, if not international, notoriety.
Personally, I’m not going to let it sour my enjoyment of Honest Trailers. Definitely not a fan of Screen Junkies at the moment (ignoring reports of harassment and threatening jobs for reporting it is a big no-no), however. There comes a point where you have to separate the creation from the originator.
No, Nazi pretty much means Nazi. If you don’t understand why, I’ve written the essay in pretty much a permanent format for just this situation.
You think that’s bad, it gets even weirder when they aren’t white. I know, I know, you don’t see it very often, but when it does...
Two things. First, people are complaining about a Trump slogan promoting fighting actual Nazis in a video game. A slogan that is being used for the good guys. This should be something that is easy to embrace.
If you look at the advertisement above, they are actually using a swastika. They aren’t afraid of using it. The Iron Cross is also just as awful of a symbol, but doesn’t get as much exposure, so if you take it as an attempt to improve exposure of just how awful another symbol is, it’s a step forward.
It is possible for someone to be “highly intelligent” AND “a criminal, mass-murdering, highly immoral degenerate...” In fact, it happens all the time, like it or not. Intelligence has nothing to do with moral character and more than one sociopath has been described as very intelligent and driven. That in no way…
But then what do you do when you find yourself in need of an emergency food supply?
So, what you are saying is that patriotism is compulsory? That you MUST show fealty or face consequences? That the First Amendment freedoms to free speech that that flag stands for and that those troops died and fought for means less than diminishing the idea of patriotism by having it be required rather than…
When that loud subset also threatens your life, threatens to harm your loved ones, and convinces armed people to break into your home, yeah, not talking is the better choice. Good job choosing the assholes over the reasonable people, though. Definitely going to help things.
Still proud to have helped fund this.
I’ve stated in the past that the only acceptable reason for piracy is accessibility, which is also why many anime communities say to purchase the official series when it becomes available. However, this niche case does not excuse the vast amount of piracy, which you just tried to defend with “because corporations.” If…
If people want to play games they cannot afford, or watch movies or listen to music they cannot afford, they can wait for it to go on sale or be otherwise made available to them temporarily in a more reasonable fashion. The only excuse I’ve seen for piracy that is worthwhile is making something accessible where it is…
Because borrowing involves a physical copy that, in its use, is denied to another person for that duration. Copying, however, does not deny anyone use; by having a copy, you can freely access that copy at any time without issue. Borrowing thus falls within the limits of a single sale, while copying deliberately avoids…
Let’s just agree that the translation of the terminology is inaccurate to what’s actually going on and basing the presence or absence of glasses based on the name “Android 21" is rather silly, given that: A) she might actually need them, or B) they are for fashion. The term “artificial human” still seems a bit narrow…
Borrowing a book is not stealing from the artist because it is a physical good that is being transferred. A digital good is being copied. The difference is a matter of counterfeiting.
No, I’m not. Those are all physical goods that have been paid for. A television show is paid for by the commercials that air alongside it. The used or borrowed book or DVD have been paid for.
There’s a world of difference between borrowing from a library and piracy. You may want to look into how libraries actually work behind the scenes, the materials they have available to borrow are frequently more expensive and more rugged volumes than are available to the public. They are also paid for and made…
