Rogan: “I am a fucking moron.”

Yeah, maybe I’ll start opining on the NFL (my level of knowledge: large men in costume run into each other and fall down. I did learn some from Friday Night Lights, but I’ve forgotten it all). And then I’ll stand up there and say “Well, I may be a complete fool, but at least I’ve been vaccinated.” And I’ll still be…

Is he gunning for Tracy Morgan’s gig as the next “pretty sure” mortgage pitchman?

Given the size of his audience, if he doesn’t know much about public health, he probably shouldn’t opining on the topic. Honesty is definitely good, but a little humility would be valuable.

Counter-counterpoint: no

Now I really want Werner Herzog to narrate the next Paddington Bear movie. 

“[Y]ou are watching a lucrative global children’s-entertainment franchise and not a bleak European art film.”

So what you’re saying is that Last of Us II is definitely a commercial failure, because nobody, or not enough people, can relate to a homosexual teenage girl?

uhhh Alyx is black dude

I mean, that would depend on whether the Romanian in question is actually white. It’s not like America is the only country with diversity in it.

But even beyond that distinction, that would depend on whether you’re just describing the color of someone’s skin or whether they’re a marginalized ethnicity, which a number…

Wait, hold on. It’s extremely weird that the vamipire lady is in that set of images. First of all, her “whiteness” is debatable, considering she seems to be Romanian (I guess how white she is depends how much money she’s throwing around in Western Europe, and particularly in the UK). But also, the fact that the game…

Cyberpunk dipped its toes into this to TRY and be sort of representational, but it was so clumsy that they really got lit up over it and it was clunky and painful. I don’t think they had ‘bad’ intentions at all, either, just the ‘time’ wasn’t there as well as the personnel.

Hmmm, I mean, one of your examples can be made into any person you want, one is evil, one is furry, one with a middle aged woman (super rare!) and we are seeing more and better examples of representation. I get it’s not happening fast enough, but my frustration is that this is now just coming across as in-fighting…

Everyone knows that it’s technically more difficult to animate non-white non-cis women character models. Programmers have just recently cracked the code for animating female models. Just wait 5-10 more years, the technology just isn’t there yet!

FemShep is bisexual and poly, dating both Garrus and Liara. 

I hear you. But Femshep is a proud gay women.

Are those who fret over fears of vaccinated teacher infecting their children with vaccine cooties and affecting their parent’s menstrual cycles outraged by this?

Back last year? A hundred years ago? Hard to remember now. But the claim was Wayfair was trafficking kids under the guise of advertising very expensive furniture pieces. People with functioning brains...am I recalling this correctly?

I was afraid this was how this movie would play out. Yes, Clancy’s book was revenge porn, but it was very technically accurate and thoughtful revenge porn, not just a garden variety shoot ‘em up.

He’s also without emotion, cognitive thought, respiration, or any way to take those licensing dollars with him.
