I didn’t really have any expectations. Mostly about food regulations and culture changing to allow for the abundance of high fructose corn syrup and ever-increasing portions. Then it gets into a lot of detail about what Type 2 diabetes is.
I'm going to assume this is a con, and they've got money in ShotSpotter. What a boon it'll be to the company when cities pay them to install the devices in neighborhoods where shootings DON'T happen, just to dispel the illusion of racism.
There's always some dipshit out there who believes they're blowing peoples' minds by being ignorant of genres. "Well, when you think about it, in a street fighter you're playing the role of the fighter you choose, so that's actually a role playing game." Or they're genuinely ignorant of gaming, which is much more likely for a "gaming journalist."
"When Queer As Folk creator, Russell T Davies, brought Doctor Who back in 2005 it was clear from the get-go that this is a show for all the outcasts in society." That this writer can't fathom "outcasts in society" could include straight white males shows it was written from a place of vitriol and ignorance. That you applaud just proves you're a retard.
Good news for them. In the time since this rape happened, society has developed the "I choose the bear" meme, which paints ALL men as horrific rapists. Fortunately, there's no word in the the liberal tongue for such a thing, but if there was it wouldn't be as bad as "racism" so it's okay.
The studio should be shut down. They were hired to revamp the avatars. They revamped them in a way that the players universally panned. I didn’t even see much in the way of the DEI faithful praising the new designs as being representative of actual people, which was the target audience. A consulting firm with shit product has no reason to exist.
It’s a remarkable thing to have witnessed the progression among the progressives from being horrified by the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally back in 2017 to now endorsing “from the river to the sea.” Although some people would insist these pro-Palestine rallies are being perpetrated solely by white nationalist ultra-MAGA. Which I think is just a last-ditch effort to avoid the cognitive dissonance (which leads to “noticing”) that’s been going on lately.
Easy: it’s because the narrative shifted in a way that can’t even be ignored by the usual cognitive dissonance. We’ve all had it drilled into our heads that Jews were the ultimate victims because of the Holocaust and so could do no wrong. Liberals have been very conditioned over the years (by SOMEONE) to always support the oppressed (blacks, gays, women, trans, “refugees.”) Then the October 7th thing happened and Israel responded in kind instead of, say, turning the other cheek(heh). This short circuited the liberal mindset, as the oppressed became the oppressors, and so they were forced to side with those poor, downtrodden Palestinians who only want to genocide the Jews. “Noticing” is a result of the conflict that arises from an inability to determine the most underest of underdogs when neither should be supported as a victim.
It’s like how everyone said that all the media companies would pull their content from places like Netflix and Hulu so they could create their own streaming services, and they’d all lose money doing so. And then they all did exactly that and are struggling to turn a profit. Modern society is all about ignoring the warning signs.
