They tried that, and Europeans (And their cousins) got angry.

We all got Godzilla and Manga out of it though so silver linings and all of that.

Somebody might want to point out to them that all the liberties that they take for granted in [Current Year] is because people fought and died against other people trying to control similar narratives which would have prevented them from either being born, or doing the jobs and thinking the way that they can today.

If they think that they are the harbingers of "This time it'll work" then all of the death, destruction and damage which comes from it will not allow them their mortgage version of the Nuremburg Defence when it has been highlighted on every occasion (For over a decade in gaming alone) that mistakes have been made by 'their side'.

I got a warning for mentioning what was in the end credits of the game and how that was all that the customer base was asking on the boards during the censorship and bans period which brought more attention to the issue.

Please do not share content that would or could incite others to harass specific persons related to the Developer or Publisher. Type of content is not allowed on this Steam Community.

I'm still not sure what I shared that could "Incite others to harass specific persons related to the Developer or Publisher" as what I shared is from within the game itself but I don't think that conventional methods of utilising space they control will be providing any answers soon based on their lack of transparency and accountability on this matter and so I leave it here to find its way into the ether.

But hey, it's their game and their reputation that goes along with it. If this were a restaurant and someone mentioned asking if a particular element was in a dish as it might affect their choosing to buy it they'd know that there are laws to prevent that person from consuming something that they didn't disclose - particular when the person asked about a specific ingredient.

If they choose to think that they know better than allergies, dietary needs, religious reasons or just plain being open and honest - then good for them. Their colonisation of an ideas marketplace they haven't earned trust in just got noticed.

If you need the proof of how and why it is verified that Sweet Baby Inc. were involved click here for the credits.

There seems to be a massive lack of transparency and accountability within this group selling a product to customers.

People have a right to know where they are putting their money and some people don't want to support racism with their downtime hours.

We can but hope, sadly there's a Presbyterian school in Nashville that says otherwise though.

I expect there'll be others like it.

The minute they had Batman and Batgirl get it on in the animated version of The Killing Joke the entire property was flushed down the pan.

There's a reason boys don't let their sisters play with their toys.

Time to turn Buffy into a black lesbian domestic abuser and shed some "Real world" light into those dark areas where all the #ShesForMe succubi hide their hatred.

I'm more worried about the ones that have been gelded.

Those are the ticking timebombs we're going to see explode in about ten years time onwards.

You probably shouldn't play in parks with kids bigger than you in them.

In the past 24 hours I've been called a n**ger too many times to count; I've been told to go kill myself; told that I should die because everyone hates me; and threatened by countless men who say they'd love to hit me. If you think this is warranted, you're part of the problem.

Now I can't discount what was said in the first sentence I wasn't there and certainly can't validate or verify those incidents - but it could happen.

That out of the way, being told to kill yourself is a fairly common expression over the ages from "Take a long walk off a short pier", "Go jump off a cliff" and "Play in the traffic" being perfectly acceptable alternatives to the post-modernist direct note with the same meaning.

Everyone does in fact die, regardless of how hated they are. So that is just a prophecy that comes to us all.

Countless men, well that's very exclusionary. No women want to hit you? Why not? Also, did you just assume all of those 'mens' genders?

And the "Part of the problem" thing is another misnomer phrase. It's just the other side of the equation. It's all balanced unless someone is trying to fudge the numbers.

**"How in the world is Trump’s trial not hurting him?" ** - possibly because none of this is new and the law isn't built on a whim. Hate him, by all means, but hurting him isn't what the law is meant to do. That's called a fascist dictatorship and people died for you to have the audacity to say what you want in that regard. Pay respect where it's due.

Seems that a pensioner shot him.

The pandemic treaty thing, Russia and Ukraine and immigration all seem to be hotbeds for motivation (And the EU of course!).

I wonder if it will come out why he was shot.

When the systems start to play games like children, like this, other powers will come in because clearly it's not being run properly.

You can't even blame the other powers, it's like free pizza to them.

Everyone in the US is being sold out by those who are meant to protect them.

This is like someone took the movie 'Wag the Dog' and decided to do a limited budget version catering to an even less educated citizenship.

It's amazing that when it shows up to the front doors of those elected it then becomes something in the media to further denigrate those doing the electing.

Just seems to me that nobody is happy with the elected and they are doing the usual of saying that it's not their fault.

You still want to watch it br0.

Don't be silly, it's just gone up by about 100 times in my estimates now! LOL

You make a good argument that Hollywood looks after its own and is quite parochial about what flavour of diversity it wishes to highlight on any particular year.

I suppose the next step into looking into this 'Art' is how it is altered to suit markets such as the Middle East or China rather than retain its original form regardless.

If, for example, in the recent Star Wars trilogy the character of Finn was minimised in Chinese advertising then how artistic is it to have him more central in Western advertising and if the women kissing in the background after a big battle was removed from the Middle East versions then why does the West have to see something which might not gel with their religious outlooks?

I certainly don't have the answers but it does drive home that art/product question and how those producing it are colonialist in the areas where they wish to spread particular messages but restrict others. Does Hollywood consider itself too grand to force the concept of homosexuality into areas where that can have someone killed but belittle heterosexuals for not watching it in areas where they won't be killed?

I said Hollywood was parochial earlier because culture, and its advancement across the world, is a form of church (With all the trimmings of illicit sexual behaviours, drugs and rock'n'roll).

I'd never heard of it until now and it seems to be well regarded on IMDb.

I'll give it a look into, thanks for the question that turned into a suggestion :)

Sorry I can't help you out with the answer yet.

Parasite won Best Picture Oscar on the 9th of February in 2020 and pulled in over $50 million in the US alone and $260 million worldwide on a $12 million budget.

The film was entirely subtitled for non-Korean speakers and was the first non-English language film to ever win Best Picture in the Academy's history.

It might not have done Marvel or Avatar money but people out there, like me, found it easily enough and watched it in theatres.

If more people went to theatres to see it the free market means that more places would show it.

Hollywood if full of agendas but I don't think the foreign market is something they worry about because people would rather see a rom-com or pew-pew at the cinema and films like this just don't have the appeal to the masses.

Interesting film too, lots of nods to the class system and poverty while still being a comedy.
