blizzard really perfectly embodied the phrase: "oh how the mighty have fallen"
seriously, can Henry Cavill not catch a break? he's an s-tier actor who keeps getting roped into c-tier projects.
1)As far as entertainment goes, Star Wars is probably got to be the biggest blunder of the decade, possibly in the history of Cinema. While it was technically financially profitable, a complete money printing franchise was reduced to b movies on a streaming service. not to mention a franchise that once elicited emotions ranging from indifference to absolute love now elicits absolute hate to indifference.
2)Destiny is another big one that comes to mind. that game single-handedly made a games budget go from an advertising feature to something to hide. not to mention being a defining exercise in what happens when you overhype a piece of media.
3)Lastly there's Mass Effect. there were many ways to end that trilogy but ending it in a way that completely ties up the entire galaxy was a colossal mistake, ending overhype aside. Even upon launch of Mass effect 3 that franchise was growing like hotcakes and probably set to become the next Star Trek. however it was the franchise that also was one of the first to feel the wrath of social media era backlash due to the crappy marketing and last minute rewrites, and it will never recover. not to mention I do actually believe that it contributed heavily to gamergate, it being one of the first gamers rise up moments I could think of in the social media era. without the Mass effect ending to focus so many people's attention on e-drama, I doubt gamergate would have even gotten noticed.
I won't accept their redefinitions. liberalism is an ideal that promotes freedom of individuals. communism and socialism encourage the forced equality of individuals by nationalizing their stuff. these ideals are not compatible.
Communists are not liberals. they piss on the more philosophy of liberalism. they are the opposite of liberals in fact.
why do you concern yourself with the opinions of twats?
money laundering at its finest. New York had nothing to do with the Holocaust, except for sending several thousand young men to die in the meatgrinder to stop it.
reminder to never give digital ID an inch, because this is where it leads. we have the technology to easily be able to restrict unsafe content at the network level for individual routers, parents need to be educated on it and use it.
fuck you bitch, the state is not a parent and has no business raising children.
how will Aaron Carter ever recover?
correct me if I'm wrong, but that game is rated m for mature. how old is this kid supposed to be anyway?
if a change was made to the child tax credit, wouldn't that be applied to the 2024 tax year and not the 2023 tax year? can you even retroactively apply a tax code after that tax year has finished?
hollywood does practical effect
launch the nukz!
bruh, chill
to me, it was second only to the first season of The Mandalorian. it was lower on the fun factor, but had very compelling drama and very human characters. I think the show was set up to fail by the mouse, probably because it didn't include the exec's favorite characters.
all in all, I thought it was good but not great. a glimpse into what the Star wars tv expanded universe could be if the writers were actually competent.
that's some crusaders fallacy shit right there. especially in a battle of ideas, it is important to be able to accurately represent the ideas of your opposition so that you can properly counter it.
socialism and communism are extremely anti-liberal. many people who call themselves liberals can more accurately be described as socialist or communist because they are fixated on results and not method.
I don't play their games, and if the past 4 years have taught me anything it's that they can redefine anything they want, but that doesn't make it true. if you accept their redefinitions, you play into the Orwellian dystopian future were your kids won't even be able to think about opposition because a word for it doesn't exist.
you are confusing liberals with leftists, which is a pretty common mistake especially in the United States. it doesn't help that right wing media keeps using liberal as a catch-all term for Democrat voters.
it really depends on the core moral philosophy that you base these items on. most liberals attempt to live by one common moral philosophy: "be kind to others".
applying this philosophy, it's easy to see why things from racism to gender roles can be considered bad. in some cases it is demeaning another individual on the basis of an immutable trait, while in other cases is forcing a lifestyle onto an individual that may not want it.
of course, most political leftists also subscribe to this philosophy: "there are no bad tactics, only bad targets". this philosophy allows them to ignore the philosophy of being kind to others so long as it suits the political objective.

"they're so proud of themselves they don't even care. they are so fat and satisfied they can't even imagine it. that someone like me would ever get into their house, walk their floors, spit in their food."
I don't know, the fact that they are so retarded yet still in power is a massive kick to the teeth.
all those moderation tools, and literal teams of people hired for the explicit purpose of moderation, yet this happens. very telling
yep, thanks for pointing that out. fixed it
once again, they believe:
there are no bad tactics, only bad targets
the truth doesn't matter to them, rule of law doesn't matter to them, ethics doesn't even matter to them. there are targets that must be fought, and they will fight them.
Edit: fixed

sir, I'm going to need you to post a source on that!
