Okay, yeah, that’s a fair point.

Yes? That’s my point. They needed to add “Village” to fit in the VIII.

But you can’t make VIII out of just EVIL like you can VII.

I’m trans, so I feel confidant saying it’s not like trans people aren’t just as capable of being freakshows, unrelated to their gender identity, as anyone else. While there’s a lot of reason to doubt /any/ of the stories about Elagabalus are true, if he did indeed prefer to be called a woman even to the point of…

“I’m half-white on the left and half-pixels on the right, but he’s half-white on the right and half-pixels on the left!”

I don’t see how white actors stepping down from PoC roles means PoC actors can’t also play other kinds of characters. It doesn’t automatically go both ways. Still, this wouldn’t really be an issue if there were just more PoC roles in the first place. I think we can logically accept this sort of thing again in a decade…

Chill out, they weren’t saying “every native character is like this so it’s fine”, they’re already on your side.

Yes, except the ringer who was a professional gamer and still only got third.

Actually, the guy’s usual performance was about the same as his performance on real tracks, and as the article notes, it was another real racer that came in second above even the ringer.

It didn’t fucking work.

Or maybe I’m not privileged enough - trans and very poor in one of the worst Southern states - to ride out the endless stream of “somewhat an improvement” that’ll be the case if the Democrats get their way. It’s privileged to look at the Obama era and think that was ideal, when all it really did was put a happy…

I think the idea of Sanders being the nominee by now is delusional, but I’m still not voting for Biden. Yes, Trump is worse in the short term, far worse, but four more years of Trump would be better than four more years of Democrat complacency that leads to extending their current way of doing things into the rest of…

People who can talk to their teammates without fear of harassment have an advantage over those who can’t. Also, though, that’s not the central conceit at all. It set people off, but it devolves almost immediately into a storm of calling her ugly and mentally ill long past the original point being forgotten.

I don’t necessarily agree with the person you’re debating, but “you’re welcome to have an opinion about their opinion, but it’s their decision to make based on their viewpoint” is generic nothing that can be used to shut down literally any criticism, to the point that it’s almost comical and feels a bit like trolling.
