They have to do something because only grandma still sits through television commercials.

It’s a Catch-22. There’s not enough sales to justify making PS5 exclusives and not enough PS5 exclusives to drive demand. Which is fine for now since supply still wildly trails demand. The PS3 was around for an extended lifespan due to a global recession. The PS5 might be around longer due to the global supply crisis.

When I first read your comment I thought, “three articles,” but I can only find two. It’s entirely possible that I’m risremembering or saw the same article twice so you have a valid point there.

Thank you for that information. Last I heard there had been no arrests made. I feared that it may have been the case but I am disappointed to learn that her transgender status was confirmed to be a motive in the crime.

That is all very true and I’m glad to see you acknowledge that.  

Reading back with hindsight I can see where I perhaps didn’t make this very clear in my original comment as I didn’t intend to spend so much time on the topic, so I will repeat some of my previous replies for the people in the back of the room (or those that don’t want to crawl through the entire comment section.)

My…

But that’s not how the headline is written, now is it?

I have previously identified as male on this site (and as a Jeopardy! fan) but have never revealed my gender assignment (and won’t because it’s frankly none of your business).

Again for the people in the back of the room, my issue isn’t that they acknowledge her as trans (I’m delighted that they do so; representation is extremely important) but rather the manner in which they do so. She had been identified primarily as transgender. Not contestant on Jeopardy breaks record but Trans person…

My issue is with the placement of the word either to generate page views or subtly undermine her achievements. I hope that my comments demonstrate that I have no issue seeing or using the term. 

Thank you for unintentionally providing the example I was failing to make in a succinct reply. Your comment is the exact sort of collateral collusions I was concerned about. And, no, she is the highest earning woman in Jeopardy history with the longest winning streak of any woman,  both 4th overall in Jeopardy…

I admittedly might be letting perfection be the enemy of progress here, but you’re right, I don’t want to celebrate the achievements of trans people. I want to normalize the achievements of the trans community.

We absolutely should.  Try replacing Trans with “Redhead” and see if the headline reads the same to you, though.  

You took that sentence too literally.

There’s a subtle difference between highlighting her trans status and using it as the primary identifier. Gawker Media (or whatever it goes by now) makes sure to put that status in the headline. It reminds me of Linda Cohen’s comment about the news stories when she was replaced by the younger Erin Andrews. “For a…

Respectfully acknowledging that she is trans and using “Trans” as the primary word to describe her in every headline are also worlds apart.

“Sadly, transphobes sometimes flock to Schneider’s Twitter feed to harass and berate her.”

How many times have we watched Martha and Thomas Wayne die?  Same story, same characters, different retelling.

Your “damages” can’t be greater than your expected sales. I mean, they can, but only in the same way that I am dating at least 8 fewer supermodels than I would have if not for the pandemic.
