That doesn’t make it better. In fact, it’s both worse and historically constant. After every black protest, white lives rise in quality. Without the Abolition movement? No (White) Women’s Suffrage. Without the Civil Rights Movement? None of the laws, practices, and services that continue to benefit white folks more…

The idea that the brutally marginalized can just “reflect on” the system and find anything but additional rage is condescending and insulting. We search for wholeness every day, but cannot find it in a desert of the mind and soul. We manage, don’t get me wrong. But to demand that we grow past that righteous anger and…

This is bullshit. White lecturers trying this shit is bullshit. It is always. Bullshit.

Nah.

Why is she not in Gitmo?

And your daily dose of white pop-feminism. If it ain’t intersectional, it ain’t shit. Bodyshaming is not okay, and attributing genitals to masculinity can also do a lot of harm to trans audiences... Y’all keep marching and talking shit, though.

We’ll just keep carrying your 53% ignorant asses at the polls, for our own…

I mean... You’ve made a life around being a cunt on Kotaku. Clearly, this is a big part of who you are now. Think of what your life would be without someone to whine about.

Do you really need your ass cocoa-buttered at black women’s expense AGAIN today, bruh? We showed up, but they showed out. Have grace.

We found Becky.

I think the main issue is ownership. Parody requires local context and some figures have a much larger “home” context than the perspective of an outside view like the US re: Gandhi. Dude’s overblown and problematic, but that’s because he MEANS things to entire cultures.

It’s one thing to deflate your own icons, like…

Tell that to Native Americans. When US citizens want something gotten rid of enough? It vanishes.

Being the “best” option does not make you a good option.

Leave us out of your white nonsense. Neither candidate gave a shit about people of color.

I think the Sarandon thing is more complex, though whiteness makes it much easier to “opt out”. From this PoC’s perspective, progressives were given the choice between horrors: Right-Wing or Get Out.

Citation needed.

No, it is because people are racist that they can choose not to give a shit about things that cause real fear and pain to minorities. Racism is not active - it’s not white hoods and talking about “the blacks”.

Right-wing corporatists and color-blind chauvinists need not apply.

#TheyWereBothShit

Because this isn’t just story arc - it’s a direct shift in mechanics for a much more hands-on product. The IPs you mention largely get away with copy-pasting assets to create more content. FFXV doesn’t use that model for plot chapters, reserving it for the open world. It’s just not a good comparison. It’s like asking…

It also didn’t take NEARLY the cost to tell these stories. Re-using a few sprites and throwing up a new boss for a companion arc on the SNES is very different.
