Funny how that conveniently gets missed in the shiny, shiny, light of virtue signaling.  

Thank you! I wanted to say the same thing.

Yeah, the use of different words to refer to different things is apparently a problem to solve. I was recently lectured that the word “female” is offensive...to women. I was instructed to just not use that word anymore at all, and to use the word “woman” in all cases. See, problem solved! No different words = no…

Does she still drug and sexually assault people though?

So Amazon made a game where humans are driven to maddening amounts of labor to justify their meager earnings as automation slowly destroys them, huh

But at some point it just becomes a complaint about the nature of the beast, which “it is what it is” because it’s the direction that gaming has been going for awhile.

Funny you mention Activision as they were the ones keeping Bungie on track and giving them help. Activison was never the issue with Destiny, Bungie is and always will be.

Well, to intelligent people the distinction isn’t hard to make. These things aren’t rocket science, but hey: it’s clear that you readers of the black supremacist hate-site The Root are far from rocket scientists.

Okay...what value do you actually think that has to any sane, well-adjusted individual?

Here's the thing, though: I know that. You're telling me the equivalent of "rain will always be a thing."

To whom am I signaling? Should I expect a prize of some sort?

I say this knowing that ethical consumerism is difficult as hell, precisely due to the lack of transparency. But I don’t buy Activision/Blizzard product not because I think my actions will stop the toxicity—it’s for me. It’s because I have some level of self-respect and hearing these awful stories does not make me…

Ok I’m just going to explain this once since there’s many of you “think of the workers” arguers out there.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture still gets a lot of heat, but I feel like it provides a real contrast between how the flaws of the lead character are handled in that franchise and Discovery.

I would be angry but she's a Thunderlizard, so... fair.

Oh good, someone who dismisses someone saying something true because of that person’s gender.

Activision/Blizzard article detailing how shitty they still are and probably always will be is the ultimate “no duh”.

The Ruroni Kenshin live action movies were terrible imo. Captures none of the brilliant action, staging, choreography and dynamism of any of the action scenes of the original. Sure the setting was rooted in reality but the action scenes were as fantastical as most any anime and it’s impossible to replicate that in…

...the market created by tentpole blockbusters has specifically shouldered out the mid-range budget and overshadowed the independent/arthouse market. The economic effect of these movies is making it harder for the auteurs.

Definitely. Amoung anything else he was reckless and stulid. And I wouldn’t exactly say his mother did him any favors by letting him go.
