It was literally a running gag in the 90s that you needed a specific amount of diversity to be a TV show on basic cable television. The Power Rangers are a great example. There is always a black one, and another minority of some kind in every 5 man group guaranteed.
The only difference was that at the time it was being promoted and pushed as a "we can all get along" message instead of a malicious "we must hate each other forever" one. It was still retarded, but its why people didn't really react as negatively to it at the time because it felt like it was trying to improve things (even if the Elites were using it subversively).
but bringing the culture that MADE their place a shithole in the first place.
I think with the Japan type immigrants, its much more likely that they hate their home culture and want to become Japanese like their animes. Without realizing they cannot because they are filled with subconscious differences that will forever preclude them from fitting in.
The ones that actually immigrate there with their work visas are a different beast. Those are the ones bringing their culture with them, and are a lot closer to the Indian and European illegals in America than the border hoppers.
Wow, people see another place and think the grass is greener so they idealize living there? And then are stopped by the exorbitant costs and strict rules, so it goes nowhere anyway beyond talk?
Surely this is a real problem that should piss you off, and isn't indicative of you having a severe rage addiction problem.
The problem wasn't usually with the idea of what they were preaching, it was the nonsensical method they went about doing so. Satanists and other degenerates were everywhere, but accusing literally everything you don't like of being so just makes nobody take your seriously.
The Right is filled with "right about it, but failing to convince anyone" like that, which is why its always losing. Just look at most people here who will screaming about Jews or women or niggers and be completely right but are so unlikable in doing so that you still don't want to deal with them.
The Christian moral activism specifically is stupid because its being propagated by people who are so dirty and inundated with sin they have no room to even be talking about other people. The tatted up whore that keeps getting spammed around here is a great example of someone whose own house isn't in order enough to lecture anyone yet.
You can still reject bad actors with retarded takes, without rejecting the point they are making.
Well his point was that the lack of a canon singular character makes the writing worse. In which case those limitations contribute to making a more dedicated character, instead of a murderhobo that can min/max around quests arbitrarily to pick the best rewards.
If you think JRPGs have better written stories, then a "shitty rpg" is the one that offers you a bunch of choices to begin with. If you prefer having a bunch of options, then JRPGs are the shitty RPGs because you can't really "roleplay" in the slightest.
They literally do some form of psychic bullshit to always appear as something close to the "perfect" girl for your species, if not you specifically. They literally abused simping to become the top of the food chain.
Its unironically hilarious and legitimately unique, made even more so by the fact that they don't acknowledge it at all so it doesn't get moralized or excused.
I find the gender difference far less egregious in a universe basically dominated by the Asari, who seem to be the ones corralling all other races together. Its still generic "sci-fi egalitarianism" but it at least is inoffensive.
The true failing of the character creator is the background choices, which should lead to considerable differences in both your treatment and your choices but instead if just a handful of "we referenced it 2-3 times randomly with no effect" moments.
From our perch, the difference might be basically nonexistent because of how far below us it is, but on a relative scale they are doing leagues better than things like African religions.
There is a reason why Arab nations actually have something resembling a culture, with its own clothes and architecture, while all the Africans are just mirrors of what the whites gave them when they aren't in literal pre-civilization mudhuts with straw diapers.
A Muslim might not make it to the moon, but he can form a pathetic form of a country and stumble forward for a time. A Voodoo shaman wouldn't even more it beyond caveman level without being forcefully uplifted.
A huge chunk of the reason why Leftists win is because of their control and obsession over language.
Pedanticism with words works because they influence our mind subconsciously to fill in blanks and evoke emotions. Its why when I say "ghetto" you probably think of niggers instead of Jews despite the word being likely invented to describe their section of town.
So even if he is being aggressive about it, he is right.
A school shooter who still holds a bunch of the records for being one of the worst in a lot of ways. Yet because he is an Asian immigrant and not an angry white boy, no one brings him up in the media to the point where most don't even know his name.
Once the "video games made him do it" angle failed, he was literally memoryholed out of the mainstream.
Shepard worked because the high restrictions of the Paragon/Renegade system usually led to a consistently written character being made by forcing you to commit, most of the time, to being one or the other to not lose out on points you'd need in it to make bigger decisions.
At least in ME1, its been so long they all blend together and I can't remember if that stayed in 2/3.
"Second monitor Youtube" is basically one of the most profitable forms right now. You make a two hour video or "podcast" that can be stuffed with ads and has a low clickthrough rate, and it'll do leagues better than 20 10 minutes videos that used to be the gold standard.
Most don't seem to be dragging it out purely for the sake of more ads (like the 10 minute videos used to be) but because of how well that does, especially in terms of pushing people towards their streams/patreons/etc to give money more directly and getting them higher viewcounts.
The balance of that is how rigid Youtube's flagging system is, and losing a 2 hour video of a 2 second bit is way worse than losing a 10 minute one. So you need a very meticulous editor constantly working.
Islam is warring and barbaric, but its still ahead of African and South American religions in terms of being able to perform basic functions of a progressing civilization.
At the rate it has been going in the last century that is becoming less and less true, yet for a time it was capable of keeping up with Europe in enough ways to never be fully colonized. Most of its current existence is inertia still from how well it did do at the time.
There has to be a rule or regulation they can use to eliminate the thing they don't like
The reason for this is that "power" has been more and more removed from the common man's hand, leading to him being unable to remove the thorns from his own palm. A simple example is that I can't just smack the shit out of the local loudmouth talking shit to shut him up like for most of human history, the government/law has removed my power to do so. So I am left with this thorn in my hand and am forced to instead petition the government to use the power it has taken from me to do so instead.
You can see this across so many corners of society. You can't fix your own machine, it has to be a Certified Tech. You can't sell food, you need FDA Approval. On and on.
So people have forgotten that they have the power to begin with, and instead remain paralyzed by the real consequences there can be to use it. Its why the CEO shooting last week was so wildly popular, because it resonated with everyone by subverting that feeling of helplessness.
"Due to their religion" makes it sound like some sort of persecution, when the religion in question was Voodoo which if you believe in it is pretty capable of what they are being accused of doing.
The rest of your point is still valid, but that's a very key detail about this story. You can't be a Voodoo type people and then get mad when people think you did Voodoo type shit to them.
Its why superstitious and savage religions were stamped out and condemned for centuries, because they always lead to things like this which is anathemic to basic civilization.
Legal words have specific meanings for a reason, and part of that reason is because of the line between connotation and denotation.
Journos are used to abusing that line to say one thing and mean another, and then Nose On to say they meant the other when called out.
This is the inevitable end when they get anyone willing to fight back with gusto. Their charade crumbles instantly because everyone knows what they are doing.
Unfortunately KIA, and most of our side in this "culture war," is replete with Former Lefties so the consensus always has to be "poor thing, I'm so glad you are with us now." Funnily, its the same invasion tactics used by Lefties everywhere else, to prove how little changed they are.
And, much like Clott Adams, they get really mad if you don't just totally ignore them revealing their own lack of credibility or principles prior. You just are supposed to say "BASED" and clap along to them being on our side now and saying things we want to hear.
I'll agree on that. The actual gameplay portion was horrific to me and I just could not get around it, even if the writing between those sections was quite good.
And considering most people only talk about the story, and the card game, I think its very much a case of people just mindlessly completing it as filler content to get to more dialogue.
I'm sure some people enjoy it plenty, but I can't imagine I'm in the small minority that find it terrible.
Good to know. I've only played like 1-2 hours of 2 and 3 and hated my time with both, so I'm not well versed in them in any way.
But I was at least aware of their existence before 3 came out and suddenly everyone I know was a Witcher fan.
Considering how fucking bad most of the arguments in support of the Gays was, I will absolutely hate on the people who both fell for and argued that shit.
You don't get to just go "oops my bad, I didn't think about this at all while I was screaming hate in your face" years later when the consequences come home to roost in the obvious manner everyone you were fighting said they would.
Its almost more pathetic how many people try to leave their sinking ship and suck up to the side they used to try to shank, and then act like their principles or opinion should ever be worth something again.
Its alright, I'm one of the few people who remembers Big Bad Beetleborgs, let alone actual plot points.
Such as them recasting one of the girl actresses, so they created an entire episode about her getting like body morphed. So Ghost Jay Leno casts a spell that makes her look exactly the same to everyone except those who witnessed the ritual, aka the viewers that they proceed to wink at.
It was a lawless time.
