Dog frisbee meme comic, but "no game culture!  Only review scores!"

I don’t use Twitch and have never seen a single second of a Pokimane stream. That said, I am very aware that she’s got a pretty significant following of millions of people, and other gaming outlets are reporting on this as well.

Sooooo, that’s probably why.

I’m not american nor in america and knew about it. As Kirksplosion stated, the stereotype has been around for ages, which means it’s been generations upon generations of younger generations ignorant of details perpetuating the same stereotype. Harmful stereotypes don’t stop through ignorance. They stop by learning abou…

Fried chicken and watermelon are very well-known racist stereotypes. Like...some of the most well-known negative stereotypes about African Americans dating back to the Civil War. You not being aware of it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be moderated. Some imagery could be questionable, but the specific examples you’ve cited…

The appeal comes from the progression. You start with nothing and build your way up to having badass weapons and armor and majestic castles and stuff.

Survival games simply aren't my thing and that's totally ok. Not everything is for me and I take joy in the fact that so many people are excited for Palworld and others like it.

It’s pretty clearly satirizing Pokémon and the whole “happy animal enslavement/combat” subgenre with legitimate commentary. Someone might not like or agree with it, but satire and social commentary are both valid forms of expression, even in video games.

I can understand your exhaustion with the tree punching. But survival games are about resource and time management. If you take the time out of resource gathering you’re not left with anything anyways. It’d sorta be like taking jumping out of platformers... ?

I asked a guy (an adult man to be clear) I know really likes Pokemon if he had tried Palworld yet yesterday and he became visibly angry and said ‘NO’ with at least as much venom in his voice as a Fox News anchor talking about Portland.

Valid criticism, but ultimately they’re all various shades of awful.

Lawless Floating Diarrhea Factories that are also bad for the environment and local communities where they dock.

Don’t forget much of those 7600 also had to fly to the port, they aren’t locals. If we wanted to make a comparable choice lets say cruise vs staying at WDW/Universal in Florida. In both cases you will likely be flying into the same region and taking ground transport to the resort/port. In the case of the ship, it…

This is also before counting that people will frequently fly to the ports right? So, not only would you be contributing to those emissions from the ship but you still have the emissions from the air travel. 

Hard disagree. When something is objectively harming EVERYONE ON THE PLANET, you’re goddamned right I’m going to tell them to fucking stop.

If you ever went to Crowed Walmart and said, “I want to spend a week with these people,” then cruises are for you!

How are you spending your vacation week? One way or the other, or another way?
It’s a valid comparison between options, because passenger mile emissions of flying to and from a destination (like, say, Mexico City, including transport to and from the airport) and then walking or riding the bus while you’re there can…

Just a single wrongly-sized bolt/truss plate (of probably 1000s) on that Minnesota highway bridge, yet that weakness was largely what brought it down. Weird how bolts/supports meant to function flawlessly only when interlocked suddenly can go to shit when unlocked. Yeah, only a few bolts broken of 119, but what if…

If they’re letting just a few screws slide on airplane inspections, who knows what else is being overlooked or allowed to slide?

Not sure why you think those are incompatible positions. People can contribute positively to society and also be terrible. Utilitarian much?
