But the Disney story I recall hearing was it pissing Walt off and him ordering it to stop. I’m not trying to contradict you, but it shows that Disney was at least at one point in time explicitly forbade it.

I’m actually really happy about it, not for Kotaku, generally, but because I can get pretty badly triggered by articles being recommended from Jezebel and The Root. Now, instead of “(horrible thing) happened”, it’s “check what horrible thing just happened”, and that’s easier to ignore.

This was common among at least Nickelodeon animators, possibly others. Rugrats also has an insane and disgusting joke storyboard sequence that’s been known for as long as I can remember. Interestingly, I always recall hearing about it in terms of “this is vile, but served a useful function in providing hard-working…

The victim’s book is literally titled “I’m Glad My Mom Is Dead”. Like, literally. It’s insane you think anyone is cutting the mother slack just because she’s a woman.

It’s a mod, doing several different things the original Doom can’t and adding things like original enemies and animations.

I’m honestly not sure what you think the appropriate vengeance is here, and I say that as someone who’ll laugh about the submarine all day every day. They - not even them, really, a third party - mistakenly used fanart and are paying the artist for it. Where do we go from here?

The Disney shit is scaring donors away as well. Trump accidentally bumbled his way into being an object of worship to people infested with brainworms and DeSantis has been desperately trying to replicate that by biting the hand that typically feeds conservatives. For years, it’s been understood that corporations would…

Yeah. Okay. Listen, I understand it’s rarely a good position to be in when have to say something was just a joke, but I was, in fact, joking. I’m not saying misunderstanding it was your fault. I should have been clearer or recognized the comment should have included a /j.

I’d really love for you to explain to me what you think it is that human brains do differently than how they described AI learning.

Okay. So you’re saying the invention of the textile mill was the equivalent of creating the nuclear bomb?

You’re wrong because you’re acting as though “just a tool” and understanding the difficulties it introduces to the existing workforce are mutually exclusive ideas. Can you name me an advancement in technology that didn’t have some degree of a negative effect on employment? Seriously, go watch the Mitchell & Webb…

We don’t know what the fight was about. Maybe the employee was racist.

He wasn’t saying not to. Just that they should pay the financial cost of their blunder.

Japanese companies generally aren’t as keyed into that. Bud is already back up to where it was, Target has climbed back up to a little over half of the way but was already trending downward before Boycottpalooza in the first place, MLB changed it’s avatar after June 1st because that’s what it does every year, some regi…

That’s why they lose, they’re completely disconnected from reality, it’s like boxing someone who medicates their schizophrenia with LSD. The current “boycotts” are a great example, where they honestly believe a brief dip in two stocks that have almost entirely recovered and a few companies with inactive Twitters not…

Wild that Inafune’s name isn’t all over any of these papers. It’s almost like he was brought on to design characters for Mega Man 2 and wasn’t in fact the father of the franchise.

I don’t even know how to say it in English!

Would the nuances of that case have survived the terrible optics of a white woman yelling at Black kids if there wasn’t a word for that specific kind of bigot?

Marie Antoinette was a lavish spender through an objective lens but she cared about and appreciated the lower classes.
