If you are interested in my hobby, it's not my responsibility to ensure you have a good time. It's your responsibility to prove to us how enthusiastic you are about it. There are films, music, books. Consume them - enjoy them, and if you love them, you'll find a way into the hobby after enough time. The good time comes automatically when everyone who is enthusiastic about it gets together. We're not rolling out the red carpet. It doesn't have to be inclusive. In fact - it's because it's exclusive to those who truly appreciate it as part of the reason we think it's so good.
Easy answer for this. The writing art and design teams have a lot of women in them nowadays.
Women like men - so they make the men very attractive. They are catty and jealous, however, so they don't want to put in attractive women because those attractive women make them insecure. So this is why modern games have bland uninteresting looking women but the men still look awesome.
Believe it or not fans of the series I think hate it more because of how disloyal it is to the original, not necessarily because of the woke shoehorning.
That said, the woke shoehorning was what repelled me from it, as a non-fan of the series. The ugly actors, the weird gay insertions, I don't even know of the original material was gay and I could tell how badly it was inserted that it wasn't genuine.

The argument of the pro-abortionist is that after all of these steps during which a woman could, at any point, turn around and refuse, they agree, they accept a risk of pregnancy. Then, when that risk turns out to be a child, it's 100% a result of their own autonomous actions, they must deal with the consequence of that action, they reframe it as "Forced Birth". Naw - you don't have to give birth if you don't want to - simply turn around at any one of those previous points.
But the fact of the matter is the argument is distilled down to "I want sex to have absolutely no repercussions" and that's simply not compatible with reality.
PP has a lot more to lose by saying the wrong thing here rather than just staying quiet.
Fact of the matter is JT is in the process of being routed and this issue is, all things considered, very minor and one that they often virtue signal on. Keep in mind that the conservatives both agree in the rights and protections of enbies as well as the rights parents have to protect their kids, so officially, they have no real horse in this race.
It's not secure, bitcoin and others get stolen all the time via wallets. With Mastercard you can call in a stolen card and not lose any money. With bitcoin, you're SOL, there's no customer service going to protect your money.
It's not decentralized, most of it is owned by rich speculators, it's not money "for the people" it's not even easily accessible since no more can be created after a point.
And it's value disappears when it's created. At least the gold standard could claim the money has value as gold - bitcoin costs immense energy to create and the result is just a proof of work which serves no purpose outside of its intrinsic ability to waste energy on verification. Fiat holds value against the value of a country. Despite being fiat since 1970, the US still holds the most powerful currency that every other country wants to do business with due to how fairly and effectively it can be used worldwide. Bitcoin wishes it was that but it's the fact that it's tightly regulated is why people use the US dollar - not having any regulations or controls on the coin besides inability to create more isn't what people value in a currency.
The problem is that creators of the bitcoin only assumed that being able to prevent someone from overprinting the currency was sufficient to ensure it would be stable, but it's proven to be anything but.
Crypto is worthless because it can't even beat Mastercard in terms of security and transfer speed. The only way crypto has it beat is anonymity, and the only use nowadays for anonymity in currency use is because you intend to do black market purchasing.
Because of this, Crypto now has a rep - if you're buying crypto and actually using it, it's likely it's for illegal purposes, so it's going to attract more and more fed attention until it finally disappears.
Remember when one of the artists working for Larian studios was complaining about people who constantly nagged about body representation and harassed them for wanting sexy ladies in video games through a then-famous article titled "Save the Boob-plate"?
I remember.
Oh I didn't know she did Shadow and Bone as well. That Netflix trash-fire had some of the worst casting decisions I've ever seen, and they stank of diversity hires. They made one of the witches overweight (body positivity, I guess?), threw in random gay people, black people, asian people it was such a mess of diversity insertions that it was actually extremely distracting.
You'd see a new character and immediately know why they were hired and hint - it wasn't acting ability.
Oh boy more articles like
"I received my copy of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom today. I set it beside my dilator - today was going to be a difficult day. As I struggle with depression, I think back to times when Zelda games were able to console my budding sexuality. Perhaps this time would be different?" -Some artsy dumbass who somehow got a job at Kotaku #87
Why does Randi Weingarten think that the teachers' union is supposed to be partisan? Does that not represent a conflict of interest - a public serving group swearing allegiance to a certain political party?
In my country, public sector unions are outlawed in many places from becoming politically active for that very reason. It's a strong conflict of interest.
I wish it was okay to try to discover the true answer. Right now, if you say "I want to examine why trans people kill themselves" you'll get blackballed, the nonanswer of "they're killing themselves because people won't accept them", and no step closer to a productive solution.
Accepting them clearly isn't working. We've been accepting them the last several decades and all we got was more of them. Now we have cults worshipping them. This needs to by turned around, and eventually the only solution is not going to be a nice one.
Well it was only a matter of time. Transgenders are under such a large amount of stress, and for some reason, we thought it was a good idea to declassify transgender types of dysphoria as mental illnesses, so instead of treatment, they receive reinforcement for their anxiety.
Since transgenderism started exploding only in the last decade, we're getting to the point now where we're going to see a lot more of this.
Some have taken the time to begin to attack transgenders for holding aloft this privileged position, but I feel only pity for them. To truly have such a condition and live in a society that worships the condition rather than attempts to treat it is to grow up in a living hell.
The irony that the lady suggesting this, Sarah Hoffman, when NDP formed government as a fluke in 2015, was made health minister. Take a look at a full body picture of Sarah Hoffman and tell me how many humans you think she could eat.
Still she wasn't even the worst pick. They picked an environmental minister who was an anti-oil activist, and a financial minister who didn't know how to read a financial statement.
Idk man Israel has a ton of arabs in it, it's far from a pure homogeneous ethnostate. There are just so few jews left on the planet that they really are going to be extinct in a few generations.
