No, I’m getting your point and disagreeing with it. The things he’s saying aren’t just jokes devoid of any external context or meaning, and the people criticizing him aren’t ignoring other avenues of fighting for trans rights.

He isn’t even telling jokes anymore. That Jim Carrey method acting trans “joke” from his latest special was just him saying he doesn’t like trans people.

Man, you went from “I understand what you’re saying” to being willfully ignorant about this situation and deliberately reductive of my take.

There’s something deeply ironic about you reading that response and saying “they always jump to calling you a nazi,” and being the one to actually bring that term into the conversation.

I really hope this lawsuit (or one of the hundreds of others) is successful and sets a legal precedent that AI can only be trained on work that is explicitly licensed (and paid for). I suspect it may be too late to stop the inevitable tide of shit, but it would be some protection for artists.

Its like a version of the Bono effect, you know that he does a lot of good , and generally IS a good person for the most part * , but also you can’t help but think of him as being an arsehole.

So horribly exploitive, using your platform and power to help people see or give people water. Just the worst.

Agreed. I like the crew behind it and love Patton but bounced hard off of MODOK. I think anything that tries the Venture Bros "What if comic book characters but domestic banality?" thing is bound to put me off. Publick and Hammer perfected the form.

As both a compulsive season finisher (I watched The Strain to the end, dammit!), and a huge redhead simp, the fact that I didn’t finish this show is a testament to its awfulness. :P

I’d keep an eye on Steam for a sale, but just be aware that Judgment and Lost Judgment (spinoffs) and the Like A Dragon games are the only ones with an English dub. The rest are fully localized but with Japanese audio.

Yes. To both. The main story is always super serious melodrama that ends with two or more buff dudes ripping their shirts off and punching each other like slabs of violent beef. Then, on the other hand, there’s all the tongue-in-cheek stuff. Like in the previous Like A Dragon game where you take a break from dealing…

Whether you have to return something isn’t necessary to define it as a “rental.” For example, you can live in a home “indefinitely” as long you pay the rent every month (it’s called a month-to-month lease).

So wait... rental stores let you keep your copy indefinitely?

“Got comfortable” and “Begrudgingly accepted the lack of alternatives” are two very different things.

Yep, to get really rich, you gotta waste *other people’s* money.

Beef was great and so was Young. Excited to see Jesse portrayed on TV— he was sort of the “moral compass” of TLOU2 and gave the player a much-needed sense of comfort.

How far we’ve fallen from the heights of Elon Sleazebaggano, who wants to sell you some death sticks. 

I *hate* Fromsoft games. Like, all of them, yes, even Elden Ring (which even from an art design / graphical standpoint I find massively overrated). Their design philosophy pisses me off, and the fan base is full of insufferable tryhards who are borderline cultish about it. But then, most of the appeal seemed to be (in…

And from what I recall from the special I did watch, this particular trans friend has sadly passed away. Which means she unfortunately cannot be reached for comment on Chapelle’s latest trans jokes.

Incels pissed that female character in a piece of media isn’t designed to be spank-bank material. In other breaking news, water is confirmed to be wet, and studies show that bears shit in the woods.
