In the Japanese works I've seen them show up in, blacks have generally been treated with respect.

Its ironic that the same courtesy can't be extended to them.

It would be hilarious if they end up either banning the game, or suing Ubisoft over the use of properties and likenesses without permission.

True, though I did say "most" for a reason. Their patent law is pretty rotten and the Palworld stuff is slimy. That's the only legal action I've heard from their Japanese branch in decades though.

That's fair, though most of Ninty's legal shenanigans that are complained about happens here in the states, and I don't think you'll find many people willing to defend Nintendo of America (which feels very different from NoJ)

Legal department =/= developers tbh

Now that it's relatively trendy and strong to be on the right, you should expect a lot less fencesitting and a lot more pandering in general.

Things feel genuinely different in the political environment compared to Trump first term, maybe it forced a lot of people to realize it wasn't just a fluke or something, possibly combined with the fact that people have had 9 years to see all the bullshit created by the democrats and the uniparty.

Try sending an email about it if there's a way to contact em.

I agree with you; I'm personally fine with the articles and content existing as long as it's not under some gay DEI banner/category.

Same.

I remembered devouring the LotR trilogy repeatedly as a kid. I must've read the Hobbit over 20 times, not even exaggerating. Not to mention a bunch of other large series at the time.

Then I tried reading the Silmarillion much later while I was in college... it was a snooze factory. Granted, that might've been partly the fault of the Silmarillion itself since it was finished by Chris instead of J.R.R., and the fact that it wasn't really made to be a "story" in the same way as the previous works from my understanding, but still.

Excluding the Bible and textbooks, nah. (assuming you're referring to books of course) Not unless you count mostly visual stuff like manga or stuff like light novels.

Last actual book I was reading was "Works of Love" by Kierkegaard, but I was only a few chapters in before I put in on pause. It was very dense and I have to be in the right mood and mindset to read something like that, as I don't have the same levels of patience that I used to when I was younger. Its been around 2-ish years or so since I put it on pause. He's one of the very few philosophers I respect and admire, but dang if his work isn't difficult to penetrate. (at least his later works, I have to get around to checking out his earlier works too and see if they're easier to start with, might be a good idea)

While I agree with the general premise of the video, he's definitely romanticizing a lot of faggots who don't deserve it and getting dangerously close to making false dichotomies. The "nihilistic, transgressive anti-establishment rebels" of the past contributed towards the garbage that we have today, and books can still be about identity and personal struggles without sacrificing aspects such as a compelling plot, its just that these writers chose to eschew it because they're incompetent, retarded faggots who don't understand what good writing is because they're against the idea of structures and rules to begin with. They're just doing what's hip and trendy to their group.

On a personal note, I used to enjoy reading books a lot when I was a kid, but my love for video games took over all my free time around middle school and basically never let go afterwards. That extends to other visual media that I gradually got more into as I grew older.

They don't consider how ironic it is to be arguing that people who took none of the proper procedures to be here lawfully should suddenly be given due process on their way out the door?

Technically you can argue they're still the enemies of human civilization... just a really lame enemy.

Even if this were all true, which it isn't, it pales in comparison to the illegal actions taken by countless administrations of the past in scope, quantity, etc.

And unlike those actions, these are actually intended for the clear benefit of the American people.

I'm not saying it's a good idea, but when the system is this easy to abuse, what's the solution?

If there's no barriers at all, the number of fakes will eventually far outstrip the real calls (if they haven't already) as society becomes more low trust, and then you'll end up with a farce of a system.

Not to mention the amount of money and resources that are wasted with each SWATing.

Cops also have to run a lot when giving chase though, and weight is often a hindrance there.

Honestly, calling in an emergency SWAT response should probably require some sort of an ID being given at this point. I can't imagine the ratio of legitimate emergencies to fakes being all that good at this point.

Crunchyroll LLC is just rebranded Funimation, as I said in another comment.

Crunchyroll (no LLC) is the original, and their HQ is still listed as in San Fran.

Indirectly it could, yes.

Crunchyroll LLC is Funimation, they just changed their name like a year or two ago or so, presumably on Sony's orders.

Crunchyroll (no LLC) is the original one.

Crunchyroll LLC is just rebranded Funimation, the actual Crunchyroll is headquartered in San Fran.

I think he confused Crunchyroll with Funimation, the latter's headquarters are in Texas.

Western anime distributors are more likely to just censor the product to conform rather than fight it out in courts.

While I believe they deserve to burn, this would be the dumbest way for it to happen.

I don't take most internet discourse on pedophilia seriously, people often just turn into drooling retards on the subject I've found.

Its not really a "sect" thing, its in the Bible to go out into the world, streets included, and spread the Gospel to people, like the Apostles did.

See: Luke 14:23 and well, basically anything the Apostles and Jesus generally did and where they generally preached and taught, in the midst of the people in public spaces.

In terms of effectiveness, that's a difficult thing to say, but saving people isn't a numbers game, though obviously its better when more are saved. If even one person's soul is saved by it, it had value.

Shoulda asked him to do his lucky dance.
