And the Dalai Lama gave a speech, today, in Sacramento.

As a naturalized citizen myself, I would like to say that when I attended the formal swearing-in naturalization ceremony (along with about 1,000 other fellow Americans) I was also given one of those tiny American flags depicted in the photo, to wave about at the end.

That is always the danger of fandom fervor. You risk the fans taking ownership of the property. This can lead to totally bad things (see: most shows where they create couples of people up whom were totally better as just really close friends) and rage when creatives do not reciprocate their fandom.

...does anyone else feel like they just stumbled into a tumblr deep dive?

Borderlands Peach and Bowser are freaking me out

The implication in-game and by the show’s creators was that you were a boy joining the boys to do boy things, and if you wore a dress or wig you were a boy dressing up. They did this because the school-yard boys vs. girls nonsense is a thing in South Park.

This is them making a concerted effort to give the player the…

Because GamerGater’s care about “realism” “censorship” and “equality,” and there’s always seems to be some combination of those three elements that gives them a justification to hypersexualize or demean any female character they want.

The footage they showed at E3 had you as the New Kid from the first game and it’s the day after the events of Stick of Truth. The New Kid is still wearing the King’s Crown and wielding the Stick. I guess they could just say that the New Kid was a girl all along and nobody ever checked his downstairs to know the…

It was very, very heavy on the fanservice, to the point where a great deal of items/spells/lines were taken verbatim from the show. Even some entire scenes (like Morgan Freeman showing up at the end) are copied directly from South Park the TV show. I actually hope Fractured But Whole has a lot more original stuff.

If she’s being abused, you can be sure they’ll love her.

Totally see where they are coming from. Because of the way SP has always handled the boys v girls dynamic there wasn’t a very organic way to let you be girl.

I’m wondering if they’ll also call her Douchebag. Being little boys I’d guess they should go for a more female-directed (and obviously misogynist) insult, but considering the GamerGate idiots I’m not sure they’ll *want* to go that way, even if it makes sense. I don’t think any company wants the support of that lot.

Game won’t be complete unless your girl character, after being central to resolving the crisis, is left out of the official merchandise line.

Huh thats nice. I played the majority of Stick of Truth crossdressing.

I’ve seen plenty of stores put fireworks on shelves. These aren’t high-end fireworks, it is just the cheap stuff. But, they probably didn’t expect someone would come along and set them on fire, anymore than they would expect it with paint thinner or other flammable stuff.

There is plenty of responsibility to go around. Idiots should not set off fireworks inside a building. Wal-Mart should not be placing several pallets of fireworks on its store floor within easy reach of idiots.

So your fine with people destroying others property as long as you dislike that person. Your parents must be so proud.

Arson is okay if they’re “asking for it”

You must live in a not so nice area. I’ve noticed...the more ghetto the area the more they lockup the mundane things. I’ve been to Dollar Generals where they keep the laundry detergent under lock and key. I was glad to be out of there.

Wait, the Walmart near my house has the deodorant locked up but this one just has fireworks laying out there for anyone with a lighter to mess with?
