What even is your point. Do you think other settings don’t have baggage? If this games setting was the U.S.. Would this game have to educate us on the Native American genocide and slavery? If it was set in Germany would the story have to be about the holocaust. Why do people pretend that the U.S and Europe are the…

I’ll start this by saying that anyone is free to feel insulted by whatever they feel insulted by. But I - an Asian-American living in a third world country - really think this criticism is stretching a bit.

I actually don’t think using a real life aesthetic makes you have “a responsibility to grapple with its history.” I see the rice hat idea is being a bit more questionable, but “they didn’t insert a painful history lesson about a real life community (that had nothing to do with the story of their game)“ is... a plus?

Yet this site name is Kotaku. If there is a sense of irony about “appropriation” being ignored here... *shrugged*

In contrast to those people who brand ALL “conservative” people non-human assholes, we conservatives do not label ALL trans people crazy because of this lone incident. Thats the difference.

She got caught repeatedly lying and only one person admitted to ever hurting the other. She had no evidence that he laid a hand on her, and she recorded him A LOT.

Lying to the jury, getting caught photoshopping iphone photos, being heard on tape gaslighting depp saying no one will believe him, cops not arresting depp or giving heard domestic violence because in the female cops estimation - heard was faking, lying about donating money, lying about taking a dump in a bed, lying…

if imperfect = proven liar, I’m with you. Trump was an imperfect president. Heard was an imperfect defendant. Don’t sugar coat it. She shouldn’t have lied multiple times in the jury’s face. She should have owned up, when she did something (on tape) that looked awful.

Sorry, but I disagree. The fact you believe men only can be toxic, just for being men, and this woman can’t be toxic, manipulative or violent, just for the fact she is a woman, it’s the worse case of mysoginy.

She is vilified not because she is ‘not perfect’ or that because she ‘misspoke because it was painful’, but because it was proven that she has repeatedly lied and manipulated many people around her. And, what is even more important, it was clearly shown before the court that she abused him as well. For crying out…

I also think we need to listen to the lived experience of female athletes who have competed with transwomen and not kneejerk dismiss any concerns as transphobia or terfdom. It is worrying to me how there can be no challenging whatever the party line is on trans issue, a party line that has changed rapidly in the last…

Really that’s all you’ve got? Someone already posted a related citation, you can go find the rest yourself.

Pretty much all current scientific research shows that trans females maintain a biological advantage for several years post op, even with reduced testosterone levels if they had gone through puberty as a male.

While this is an excellent way for transphobes to find a way to be exclusionary towards trans people - is the argument that people who go through a male puberty would have an unfair advantage in female sports so outlandish?

It seems disingenuous to say that this is simply an attack on trans athletes and that it’s not about protecting fair competition for female athletes when there is no one pushing for banning trans men from competition. If it were just about oppressing trans people there would be blanket bans, not only bans based on…

To be fair, it’s easier to not care about delays when you are an indie studio that created a bestseller.

Because that’s not what the juror said. Someone changed his statement. Actual quote:

What you’re missing is that she accused him of sexual assault. Something that you would be aware of if you had watched the trial. Footage of the actual trial is available to watch, you don’t have to rely on biased opinion pieces and comments.

So you believe that everyone lied under oath except for Heard’s witnesses?  Laughable. 

Why was she rude and sarcastic and aggressive when recalling the same events in her divorce deposition? It’s not about her “acting” like a victim it’s that her evidence was tampered with, she repeatedly lied, everyone on the stand bar amber and her sister corroborated what depp had said. The audio corroborated wheat…
