Says the company that works their employees to death and fires them if they want a weekend off.

We are not past that point, people with Comcast are actually worst now then 2004 because of ISP datacaps to "unlimited" internet access. 

There are entire countries outside the US that can’t use this Xbox, it’s a terrible idea.

I really appreciate you mentioning the lackluster Internet infrastructure of rural areas. I live out in rural NC, and my Internet connection is always slow, sometimes to the point of barely being usable. There’s no way an all-digital or always-online console could be functional for my area. It’s nice to know that at…

Preloading is only useful when buying new games and I don’t like the idea of preordering just to get to play the game within an acceptable time frame. And actually I do believe there are some places that do provide the “download service” you’re talking about. It’s still very inconvenient and sort of defeats the whole…

I don’t think a lot of places in rural and semi-rural areas are well past that point.

So the only other option then is to ‘appropriate’ by making a Black character White, or to not cosplay it at all - suggesting that any racial barrier crossed in cosplay/costuming is wrong.

No it’s not necessarily a continuation of that. It’s stupid to do knowing how people react, regardless of intention, but saying it only has that one meaning, is never an accident, can’t be done well is fucking idiotic.

Geat so now we also need to pollute several thousand miles of orbit space so pepsi can ruin my starview and assault my eyes with unwanted product placement. If they do this I hope they leave gaming culture out of it. I don't want my pastime associated with the same people who built the Pepsi constellation.

I want this entire concept banned right now. Having a sky full of satellites is one thing, they’re useful and we rely on them for a lot of things, but I do not want them to actively participate in defiling what’s left of our night sky. This is an entirely new generation of light pollution and I’m not here for it, get…

As it stands, white people wearing dark makeup to appear black is the continuation of a practice tied to the mocking of black people

People who do get offended should look at it from her perspective, instead of just looking at it from their own narrow view. She clearly admires the character and wants to do a faithful cosplay of her.

Several organizations led by or advocating for people of color have publicly condemned the practice and have done so for years. You should be listening to them.

Just to play devil’s advocate here - being that she’s from Russia, it’s possible that she doesn’t know what blackface is? It’s primarily an American concept.

Just cause someone gets offended, does not mean they are right. 

Judging a Lithuanian who wants to be a black hero by your own convoluted culture doesn’t seem just. And it’s flawed logic to say that it offended some black person somewhere and we shouldn’t offend anyone because it also offended some white supremacist or some religious wackadoo somewhere who thinks it’s disgusting to…

how is she mocking black people in that cosplay? Is she acting out stereotypes? Using props? I dare you show me a tweet were she is being racist in any way.

No. That is exactly what the context isn’t. Just because thing 1 makes you think of thing 2, that doesn’t mean your POV is the context. 

I’m starting to feel like we’re getting to a point where nothing is allowed. I mean, the context here, for example. She isn’t making fun of black people in any way. She’s trying to remain true to the character, who happens to be black. It would be one thing if she had done something deliberately offensive, but she’s…

Be a lot cooler if they didn’t though. Allows them to put all of their effort into making the best story experience like games such as God of War and Horizon have done. When you have to create content for both a male and female play-through, that’s where you lose quality with a few exceptions obviously.
