Great Article Heather. Great read.

psst. theres a little door that pops up in games and more that lets you refight battles you lost. 

My friends and I were actually the Exact opposite as Gita. The Challenger battles were this hype moment of “oh shit, jeremy won, lets see if he can take on... RIDLEY?!?” and then it turning into a loss or win may have been putting them on the spot, but was incredibly hype when everyone in the room is rooting for you.…

Oh this aint the kid himself suing them. A laywer probably called and told him they wanted to do it. I doubt the kid cares.

If they can prove epic animated the dance based on the frame comparisons of the dance? Yes. Which some of these a frame for frame copies of the viral video. If not, then its a lot looser. But some, like the carlton dance, are obviously animated of video rips. 

The dance community does often acknowledge that a single move does not a dance routine make, so yeah. The one solid thing most these cases seem to have, is that the animation is based off a frame for frame rip of the video that made them viral, meaning epic is going to have a real hard time claiming they arent selling…

So dance is in a wierd area, because often when a dance becomes embraced by the dance and music community, it loses any real chance for copy protections. However, in these particular cases the devs at epic apear to have copied many of their dances frame for frame for the videos that made them viral, which give them a…

SO theres a lot of people harping on the legitimacy or lack there of of this case. The biggest real argument, is that the dance is lifted almost frame for frame from his filmed choreography. If there were any variation in angle or speed or individual motion, id honestly be with the “no chance” group.

TIL the 70s are the dawn of time. But i get your point.

No such thing as a generic dance. Every dance move was at one point in time created. 

I dont know that i would agree with it being maturity as much as self awareness. But its self awareness of something that is distinctly an immature trait, which in some ways is a step toward maturity.

Maturity would be having a conversation with ones loved one about the people youre working with, and trusting…

Having played over 70 online matches myself and not encountered a single non 1v1 no items match, im thinking that the people encountering this issue either live in the middle of nowhere, or have encountered it once and decided that was too many and are using hyperbole to make the point that it shouldnt even be possible…

Its part of white culture at the this point, and i say this being white. White people love “being influenced” by art and culture from other cultures and peoples, and then cheapening it, rebranding it, and selling it as “new and original”.

Interesting that they are adding the racial angle to the suit. Think it weakens their chances actually instead of strengthening it, but i guess theyre making a statment. All they have to do is show how much the dance world itself is influenced by African American Talent, and the proportions make sense. White people…

It would be a solid argument with the exception of cutscenes and plot, which is historically what Nintendo has complained the most about.

Oh sure. So long as you can get and record any of their content without ever clicking yes to one of their license agreements, buying ad setting up their modern hardware (which contains user agreements) and can host it on your own server that doesn’t capitulate to copyright takedowns before fully drawnout legal action.…

Discord has only been around for 3 years, and only really became popular 2 years ago. So take that as you will.

“Those screenshots show conversations which contain hurtful concepts, ideas, and conspiracy theories which I have come to fully and completely reject. What I’ve said in the past is indefensible and inexcusable. I completely understand why people are hurt and angry, and the reaction to my comments is absolutely…

Im dissapointed the Large Animals tag doesnt have any other articles. Get on that. 

Ill admit i wasnt entirely sure what this article was about, in the beginning you almost seemed to be blaming the song for these dickbags. Which i think was your apparent utter hatred for the song leaking into the point you were trying to make. Maybe loop the summary you had in that last paragraph back to the…
