The whole situation is unfortunate, but I don’t think they should be demonized for trying. Nor does sprinkling in just enough people of different backgrounds mean those people can speak for everyone with similar backgrounds. Nor does someone sharing ethnicity or sexual orientation (or any other factor) mean they even…

I try not to post simple I agree posts but you summed up my thoughts exactly.  The question is this though: is it post crunch or just month after month of additional crunch?  Hopefully the former.

Worse in that Nintendo Power didn't report cancellations so games would just vanish.  I read every issue cover to cover for most of the '90s and that was jarring.

I’ve been called “garbage” for suggesting name calling is wrong. Seriously. I’m Mr. Goodie Two Shoes doesn’t even use profanity liberal and that’s offensively far right for some of these people. I’m at a complete loss.

The world is a crayon children’s book to some of these people. Thier refusal to see the world is not “good people who vocally agree” and “garbage people” will be our doom.

Yes let’s make SURE the far right seizes power by shunning any dissent.

It reads as more of a “think about it” type of thing than a scratching criticism to me. And I agree. The amount of irrational anger from people informed only by memes online who have already decided who is a hero or villain really hammers home why finding as impartial a jury as possible is important.

JPG? Who would pay for a fancy receipt for a JPG when they could “own” a fancy receipt for a lossless PNG?

Anachronox was the first thing I thought of.  I don't have much to add but I'm glad someone brought it up.  

This entire situation has been so weird. It would have been even more anti-consumer if they did this immediately when it was announced, but it’s still remarkably bad PR.

This comes as no surprise to me.  I don't need Apple's "curated" strangled garden.  I applaud Valve for resisting the calls of a vocal minority to cull the Steam catalog.

I have to wonder if both the complaints and Nintendo's reason for termination are true.  Vague spoilers and playful hinting are still spoilers, and similarly I'm sure it's not okay to break an NDA just because it's vague.  It doesn't make the allegations okay, but it's not some smoking gun they were fired in…

That’s a missed opportunity for an Easter egg of some sort, but I suppose sometimes a bug is just a bug.

I’m neutral on this change (but support the spirit of it) but I know the feeling. Every time I see “Type A” and “Type B” in Elden Ring I snicker at the outrage from those “poor people” who evidently can’t tell the bodies apart without the text making it clear.

There is a line this person crossed which doesn't deserve response.  I know how ridiculous people can be branding any dissent as bigotry.  I'm left of center but responded to as if I'm a Nazi for strong disagreement.  But this person is a proud bigot.  I will not criticize others responding to them, but for such overt…

It’s subjective is the problem, and unfortunately it’s not always easy to sort out intentional malice from intentionally obnoxious comedy.

You know, other than the whole “serving thier communities in a thankless job” thing. Cop hating is ridiculous and shameful. Save the disgust for the few that actually do disgusting things. I wish cop haters would look in the mirror and see they use the same outrageous statistics gymnastics and group blame bigots use.

It’s a problem but it's not common.  It shouldn't be more prevalent at all, obviously, but it's not common.

I don’t think segregation is the answer. I also think it has unfortunate implications, as if everyone who is trans has the same opinions and somehow can speak for everyone else. People have individual opinions, including among minority groups. And the fact is LGBT people and especially trans people are rare enough …

Yep dialog matters. It is the places where people are most silent where bigotry is the worst, in contrast to the typical bigoted argument of “maybe they would be treated better if they shut up.”
