Shit like this doesn’t arise in a vacuum. Kids raised in non-racist homes generally don’t grow up to be Nazi sympathizers. These are kids raised by Boomers who’ve spent the last 20 years with Fox News on the TV, and who spent these kids’ adolescence ranting about Obutthole and Killary around the dinner table every…

“James Gunn’s firing emboldened the far right trolls”

Also, here come the alt-right sockpuppets. Have fun in the greys.

1 of the 3 assclowns privately sort-of running the VA? Yeah, Ike Perlmutter.

Worse... running the VA out of Mar-A Lago https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/08/civilians-from-mar-a-lago-drive-us-policy-on-military-veterans-report.html

And now political advisor on veteran affairs? Yes, yes he is. He doesn’t have control over Marvel Studio, though.

Wasn’t the head of Marvel a literal Trump donor?

A longer response... I’ve not been a fan of Wendig’s writing style (not something that really affects his comics), but this is just... an absolutely shitty way to treat the guy. James Gunn’s firing emboldened the far right trolls, and this will make them feel like Disney will just cave into them when someone like Gunn…

Hopefully DC hires Chuck and Cain. Put them both on big books as another FU to marvel.

Decades from now, universities will offer courses called “Giving in to Evil: How Disney and Marvel Imploded A Multibillion Dollar Empire.”

Exactamundo. Who the fuck cares of Nazis aren’t going to buy your book? Why would you chase that fucking audience?

Neo-Nazis. They’re catering to neo-Nazis.

Disney/Marvel are just doubling down on that “certain market” they don’t wanna lose.

Every review I have read for this game discusses the title as having a problem with forcing you to grind, a thing that has never been done in an AC game (according to reviews past 3, and my experience with games prior to 4), and expressly want you to pay extra money in order to keep up with the pace of the story.

WIthout any kind of hyperbole, the knowledge of these microtransactions, and how prevalent they are in the title, makes this a no-buy. I wanted to check out Origins when it became less expensive (I was burned by AC3 and haven’t played an AC title since), but the microtransactions seemed extreme.

Fuck Joe Manchin and fuck any “Democrats” telling me how much better he is than a GOP

It seemed like everyone was so relieved that he famously bought his wife a big diamond and she forgave him, so they could have permission to forgive him too. There is a lot of weight put on the reaction of the spouse of a famous person who does something wrong, since we assume that they know them best. Anyone with a…

Off-brand Horatio Sanz really knows how to celebrate a victory for LOCAL ATHLETIC SQUADRON.

For one brief, glorious moment as I was scrolling, I thought I was looking at a magnificent bowl of grits drowning in butter until Drew pulled the rug out. I hope his kids grow up to LOVE mayonnaise.

For context on that trial: when I was in law school, our Evidence professor used it as an example of how a defendant’s lawyers can use all kinds of loopholes to call an accuser a shameless whore who’s in it for the money and still stay within the bounds of the rules of evidence.
