Especially in South Korea. His life is ruined.

Appears that way.

Surprised they lasted as long as they did, but after Jezebel got the axe and now The Root’s comment section is gone, this is basically a ghost town on the majority of articles that aren’t rage bait. 

How is going to prison not a punishment?

The last of these sites seem to be in the death spiral.

No, but you can’t just say you’re a contentious objecter either. You have to demonstrate it. Historically in America, that means showing at least some kind of affiliation with a society or cause that has firmly stated anti-war belief. S. Korea, a country with compulsory military service probably has even tougher…

Yeah you’re right.

Wow, Kotaku headlines suuuuuuck.

i reckon those 18 months are gonna hit different when the guys lookin for work or probably enrollment in any number of government services

In 2022, I would have said, for those that couldn’t afford very expensive PCs and graphics cards that run them.

you don’t have to pay that on PC, why on xbox?

That’s a Microsoft decision rather than a SE one. Going back almost 20 years to the PS2/PS3/360 days of FFXI, SE has never required the console’s paid online service in order to play. If this is suddenly changing, but only for Xbox, it’s almost for sure a “MS wants to pocket more of the money” situation.

I am stunned that I had to scroll down this far to find a comment asking this question. The people commenting shitty things on this kid’s account are just a couple of steps lower than parents who, given everything we know about the negative impacts of social media on young people’s mental health and development, allow…

They’re paid to not trash the game.

What is hilarious to me is that you just described Marvels Avengers. That game had a fairly robust 3rd person combat system, really good dialogue and scripted scenes, and an enjoyable single-player campaign.

i wondered that too (not that it justifies abuse from adults) but this is what google said (via instagram’s help section) -

No one is asking why a 12-year-old has an Instagram account? Isn’t the requirement to be 13?

I just checked the link. It has raised $13,295.

I also feel like it’s typical in these situations to raise funds with bake sales or raffles and such. I get it if Milano wants to hit up her fans — but at least offer something in return. Autographed photos. Handmade trinkets. Personalized video messages. SOMETHING. What are they teaching the kids about fundraising if…

A couple of thoughts from an internet rando:

Of course they shouldn’t hassle the kid (or, honestly, even her) and of course she might be cash-poor. All that is true. The problem here is that, presumably, on a team with 11 non-celebrity moms and one celebrity mom, the celebrity mom chose to advertise it. One of the other 11 moms could have just put up a GoFundMe…
