I honestly feel something is wrong with you if you have to see yourself in everything.
It’s just the sociopathic narcissism that’s tearing through western society, I’m not sure if social media created it or just gave it the avenue to spread like a plague, but it’s killing off society and the centuries of intellectualism that brought us here.
And then combine that with hiring writers who actively hate the IP they are writing for
I think that is part of the “English professor’s dilemma” where these wannabe writers who know they could never create anything of the same caliber of the good writing will hate/ critique/ subvert good works to self validate their own worth as a writer. The sad thing is this used to be limited to the professors/ teachers/ low tier writers but since diversity hiring amplified they are now able to destroy at whim.
And the praise that they get is beyond absurd. Like that idiotic casting director for the Witcher that changed Yennifer’s race because she wanted a women of color to be seen as beautiful or some crap. If you truly feel that way then by all means, write your own story or research Native American,Asian, or African folklore/mythology and create your own fantasy. Hardly respectable to take someone else’s work and turn it to crap
Worse is I think some of them actually believe you can make ugly things beautiful by replacing the beautiful thing instead of making the beautiful thing ugly. It's similar to the euphemism treadmill- it's the subject that carries the stigma, not the word used to describe it. You don't make the subject more palatable, you just make more words offensive.
You...you get me. I'm literally crying right now.

Ha!
Yeah because thinking is overrated (works even better if one's a narcissist). Why should you think about what the character represents/stands for and deduce that it's something you might want to emulate (or avoid)? You just look at skin (you can also choose your own genitals!!!) and say "hey, that's, like, you know, me!1!"
It's probably why we might want to ensure that we have a good enough memory (and a large collection of art worth remembering).
Exactly
There is. It's called narcissism.
If that makes you cry then definitely have some serious mental issues.
Speaking as someone with a severe hearing impairment... Fuck deaf people. They're actually more obnoxious than liberals.
I lost sympathy when I started hearing about deaf identity movements that don't want to use cochlear implants because thinking you can "cure" their deafness is destroying who they are as a person. Same with the autists.
I've had my condition progress to deafness once when I was a teenager, and it was cured with surgery.
This attitude of theirs is one that I find absolutely abhorrent. I'd rather be dead than unable to hear.
Don't say that.
Wait, there's an implant to cure autism? /s
Jokes that couldn’t be used today: I remember the dvd of Monty python and the holy grail had a “hard of hearing” feature which maxed out the volume shouting the options in a dumb voice
What?
*deep breath
I SAID...
HUH?!
Indeed, but are they worse or better than vegans?
Imagine a deaf, vegan, bicyclist who is also into CrossFit.
And I KNOW that person has to exist.
Why stop there? Add queer, Jewish, black and lesbian to essentially completes the set.
Hermaphrodite, vitiligo, half Indian, trans-furry, in a wheelchair, with autism, Ukranian
Because of the physical effort involved, CrossFit is heavily conservative. Libs don’t have the mental fortitude.
In my experience worse. Worse even than CrossFit cultists. I have never met a more self absorbed, fundamentally toxic group of people in my whole life.
At least CrossFit people want you to get in shape. Sure, their way is trash, but deaf identity wackos want to actively make their lives worse.
Worse than trash, poor mechanics lead to long term injury. Pushing past your breaking point and then accepting the consequences later is fine if you are selecting for special forces or in the olympics, it isn't if you just want to look a bit better in a swimsuit.
I miss when dumb little easter eggs like this were a sign of someone's passion being put into their world building and its little details, instead of an obvious checklist of virtue signals to go through.
Games like payday 3 didn’t even bother putting in Easter eggs like the packages in 2, they’re honestly lazier now the “Easter eggs” are just cultural references and woke signaling
I mean, the lifespan of Payday 2 could almost be a perfect slideshow of the slow slide into laziness, incompetence, and general disdain for your players.
So its unsurprising 3 is somehow even worse in that regard.
This shout-out to deaf people will go unheard in relation to overall sales, though.
Not sure if this is an extremely deadpan pun or just what Bob Ross calls a happy little accident.
Man.. remember when corporations used to protect their branding? You spend a billion to license a character/franchise, you paid a continuity/expert/enthusiast to protect your investment, or the licenser demanded you followed certain guidelines. Like Tom Shippey from the LotR property. When Rings of Power axed him because he was standing in Mary Sue's way, you knew the show was in trouble.
Now it's like no one is protecting their branding or IP. It's a race to the bottom to out virtue each other, and the characters and properties get fucking wrecked in the process.
I don't care if a danger hair doesn't like Dungeon and Dragons or Warhammer. Just part of your fucking job is being a good steward to the thing that the fans love. They are the only reason the property got large enough to hire your untalented ass.
I can't imagine playing a superhero game in a way that an ASL interpreter being in a classroom ever comes up unless I'm on a mission where a bad guy just threw a tanker truck into a classroom.
I thought at first what I saw about that game was a parody. Then it keeps rolling in. So we have the actual wokest game ever?
You know they're gathering metrics on what side quests you finish and which you abandon.
Abandon the squishy headed virtue signal side quests.
Spider-man 2 really makes you feel like... A deaf person?
What?
Cluster B personality disorders have destroyed Western culture.
