The alternative is to tear things down and rebuild them from the ground up. End policing as we know it now and replace it with something else that isn’t built on a foundation of racism and corruption. That’s vague, I realize, and I’m not sure what the specifics will look like. It could vary from place to place. But it…

Then the good cops should be pushing for internal reform.

From what I’ve seen, most cops are openly against what Chauvin did. But then they’ll turn around and justify the use of force against peaceful protesters or find ways to spin another police killing in the cop’s favor when it’s equally abhorrent but not quite so blatant as Floyd’s murder. In short, I know plenty of…

You’re a blind fool.

Video games aren’t movies and shouldn’t try to totally emulate them. I like a lot of dark movies with downer endings, but none of those movies ask me to spend 24+ hours with a character and actively participate in brutal, emotional violence. 

What I meant by the first post, is that the negative stereotypes that most people in Mexico have about black people come from American TV.

As long as I’m contributing.

Aren’t we a little late with this article? I brought it up in the comments a week ago. Could it be possible that the AV Club staff isn’t carefully reading every one of our “reasonable discussions”?

You actually think there’s a corporate mandate to pretend to care about social justice?

You think Jim “Stick to Sports” Spanfeller is telling editorial to write more political articles? You actually think there’s a corporate mandate to pretend to care about social justice? If that’s really what you think, you’re an idiot.

I can’t tell if you’re really this dense or you’re just trying to be a dick. I agree about the site declining in general, but not that this particular article is an example of that decline. It would have been reported in much the same way 10 years ago or whenever you want to describe as the golden era. Got it? Good.

No, I really didn’t. Your psychic abilities must have broken with your shift keys.

Yes. I clearly thought that Spike Lee gave an interview saying “Child molestation is awesome and I appreciate that Woody Allen had the guts to do it.” You nailed it. Way to stand up against the rampant scourge of people not writing paragraph long headlines. I don’t know why this particular article set you off so…

You don’t know what you’re talking about. I already knew about the controversy before I ever clicked on the article. I’d already read his tweet and participated in the conversation below it as I mentioned in my comments above. I clicked on the article knowing full well what it was about because I was interested in…

a lie by way of a small technicality

the personal lives and private opinions

That’s not fair. Paul Kinsey was a civil rights pioneer. ;)

Sure. But in this case, people have a damn good reason to care. Because how artists feel about the world and their place in it matters. If Spike Lee were out there railing against cancel culture and supporting Woody Allen’s right to molest children, that would rightfully change the way a lot of people felt about his…

What are you talking about? I didn’t concoct anything. Lee gave his feelings about Woody Allen and “cancel culture” in an interview and then clarified that he doesn’t condone sexual violence against women when there was a backlash. It happened exactly as I described it. The fact that you’d call straight reporting of…

It’s ten times worse in Odyssey. Not only are the pointless quests more numerous, but they’re way more pointless. I’m not exaggerating at all when I say that a lot of them actually require you to walk 30 meters and talk to a person. That’s literally the entire quest. And there are a lot of them.
