"Lunchtime rowdies." "High school students." "High school delinquents." Great, more euphemisms to remember.
I can hazard a few guesses.
One, they're losers whose high point in life was their time as an athlete in high school or college, and they learned too late that only a very, very, very select few will ever make the cut to make sports their career. So they're trying to live their dream job vicariously through their kids by pushing them into making the same mistakes they did at their age.
Two, similar to the above, except they never even made the cut into their high school team (or even the Little Leagues) and have been regretting it ever since.
Three, they think sports are the only worthy pastime that any boy or man can pursue, and since they can't play them anymore or have any kind of fun (that they don't feel ashamed of personally), they put their kids through it. But it's all ultimately a mask for how insecure and weak they really are.
Four, talented school athletes gain a lot of acclaim in their local communities, and that ends up going to the sport dads' heads, which turns them into status seekers themselves.
Five, the ultra-competitiveness of sports gets the dads into too competitive a mindset as well, to the point where they prioritize their kids' performance in a bunch of ultimately pointless games over their actual wellness.
That's false advertisement! Get Lionel Hutz on the line NOW!
They don't deserve donuts.
You gonna think there something wrong wit you
BECAUSE THERE IS!
Disgusting.
Though on another note, does anyone else think Nintendo is accidentally revealing how much they're lying about the effect tariffs are having by keeping the launch date the same?
The Nightmare Before Christmas. Pay attention to the last lyrics of the "Jack's Obsession" song.
"You know, I think this Christmas thing
Is not as tricky as it seems.
And why should they have all the fun?
It should belong to anyone.
Not anyone in fact, but ME!
Why, I could make a Christmas tree!
And there's no reason I can find
That I couldn't handle Christmastime!
I bet I could improve it too!
And that's exactly what I'll do!"
Emphasis mine. Sounds familiar, right? "Video games should belong to everyone." "Tabletop RPGs should belong to everyone." "Superheroes should belong to everyone." "Star Wars should belong to everyone." "Dark Souls should belong to everyone." And so on and so forth. Wokies always use this logic to take stories, franchises, industries, and subcultures that are niche and/or male-oriented and make them "for everyone," but in truth, all they do is make it more for themselves and their fellow wokies. And just like Jack when he decides to take over Christmas, with the arrogant belief that he could do it better than the people who've been making it for centuries, they completely ruin the thing they stole and turn it into something it never was and that nobody likes.
Irony poisoning at work. Nothing has meaning anymore. Nothing can be treated with serious gravitas, unless it's related to the leftist writers' political views about the Current Thing. Everything needs to be funny, quirky, sarcastic, bitter, and/or overriden with modern slang and profanity.
I suppose this is what we get after mocking the "I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with LIIIGGG-IIIGGGHHHTTT!" scene for 20 years.
"She's a sapien. Of course she thinks all demons are the same."
Way to project.
"But it's not Hell, it's worse."
Hell isn't supposed to be livable and pleasant. It's as bad as it gets. There is literally no place worse than it. Actually, if anything, your Makai is most definitely better than Hell. Because you die in it and are then free of the suffering that living in it brings. In Hell, there is no death because you're already dead when you go there. It's just eternity of pain, misery, and suffering.
"Sapiens hate and fear our kind."
BECAUSE YOUR KIND ROUTINELY INVADE OUR WORLD AND SLAUGHTER PEOPLE! Humans have every goddamn reason to hate, fear, and kill you on sight, and no reason at all to buy your pathetic little sob story, which sounds like a pretext to launch another invasion. In fact, that's exactly what it is, and you're not innocent at all; you're willing pawns for this White Rabbit guy. You know he's evil and the only thing you're willing to do about him is cower in a shithole. Even if what you're saying isn't a bunch of lies, the simple truth is you're just taking up space AT best and think you're entitled to it.
If only. The deaths of the Jews (and only the Jews) during the Holocaust is one of the Original Sins that we must ALL pay for, because we are ALL responsible for it. Even though it happened decades before we were born in countries that fought against the Nazis.
He can claim that Griffith is gay, though. Or a femboy. Or outright trans. All of which automatically make him good.
Where was due process for all the CITIZENS that you asshats kept locked up for four years on Janurary 6? Where was due process for Chauvin in that joke of a sham trial you subjected him to, with a BLM activist on the jury and the supposed President of United States weighing in on how his verdict should go? Where the hell was due process for all the criminals, citizens and illegals alike, who were simply let out without ANY trial made to disprove their innocence? Where the hell was due process for Fauci, Milley, and Biden's family when they were all pardoned for crimes they weren't even convicted of?
When Failguard is laughing at you, you know you fucked up. Or at least you should and it doesn't look like Ubisoft does.
Hope this ass never gets his dream job to make an animated Berserk adaptation. He sounds like the kind of guy who would seriously argue that Griffith did nothing wrong, or that he, and by extension the rest of the God Hand and all the Apostles, are at least "morally gray" characters.
No, we need to add actual qualifiers to vote. It used to be you needed to own property, but nowadays, you can vote once you're the right age (well, the right age and have signed up for the Selective Service if you're male; women have no such obligations, of course). We need to bring something like that back. It should be you need to own property, pay taxes, make an income that doesn't come from a government program, and/or be enlisted if you want to vote. Additionally, there should also be things that disqualify you from voting, like being on any sort of welfare or government assistance, or being in prison. In short, you need to actually be contributing to the country to have any say in how it should work since you have something to risk if you choose wrong, and can't just keep voting for the government to give you free gibs.
Knowing your history and civics should also be up there, of course, as this video demonstrates.
Indeed, the implicit bias towards the Paragon path (and all that went with it, most notably the support for the globalist agenda Citadel rule over humanity) was another huge problem with Mass Effect since the very beginning.
I say in the first Mass Effect, any romance you have with Kaiden or Ashley should have ended disastrously at Virmire. Either because you didn't rescue your love interest, in which case they die, or you do and highlight precisely why a captain should not be fucking around with his subordinates, prompting the survivor to break up with you once their guilt kicks in. It would have highlighted that this is not the kind of story or setting where that kind of behavior is acceptable, and better yet, turned off the kind of "gamers" who obsess over that shit, and kept them from buying the sequels (and subsequently infecting them). But of course, Bioware's writers would never do anything to alienate them. Or seriously think about the ramifications of a commanding officer having an affair with members of the crew.
Indeed, it has.
Yeah, we pretty much should. It's all Bioware's audience cares about anymore. And even a lot of more generalist RPG "fans" prioritize romances too much.
Unfortunately yes. In fact, these days, it feels like the only thing for a game to qualify as an RPG are romances, and that game had better include as much faggotry as possible and give it equal if not greater billing than heterosexuality so no player ever gets left out (and to get those ESG Funbux). Dragon Age: The Failguard gives you little to no direction on where you want to take the story, determine the protagonist's personality, take sides in interpersonal conflicts, or even act like a jerk if you want, but you can choose to fuck every companion to your heart's content regardless of what your race and sex is, so it's all good. Ditto for Assassins Creed: Shadows and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. I don't think even Ubisoft has ever claimed AC was an RPG, but gamers and urinalists alike are calling it one anyway.
It's the natural evolution of this kind of shit. Baldur's Gate 2 got it rolling when it gave 3 girls for male PCs to woo, and one guy for the (miniscule number of) women playing. Naturally, the latter are going to demand more options, so future games start trying to appeal to them, and in doing so, give romance even greater attention than it warranted in the past. Then gays and fujoshi start demanding gay romances, so games start including a gay character or make a couple options bisexual to seemingly save space (like Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins). Then they start demanding more options because they weren't satisfied with their limited numbers, which leads to either turning everyone into a fag (Dragon Age 2), or adding more and more romance options to appeal to every taste (every Bioware game from Dragon Age: Inquisition forward). Or both. Before you know it, RPGs are focusing more on romance to the detriment of all else, to the point where every important character is written more as a flavor of fuckability rather than an actual character.
He should have stayed dead. It made no sense for him to be miraculously alive, and back with the good guys after disappearing without a trace after the crash.
Finn's a remorseless, self-centered, and cowardly psychopath. It's the only way his character could ever make sense.
They could have always pretended Blade was never black in the first place until they "fixed" him. Just like they pretended the Blade movies never existed, all so they could claim Black Panther was the first ever black superhero movie.
They think that as long as they ban ninjas from using their weapons, they won't need to ask any dudes if they're bad enough to rescue their Prime Ministers from said ninjas.
It's not the thugs you need to worry about. It's the MSM waiting to jump on your ass the moment they catch you doing anything to a black, destroy your life, and spark a countrywide lynch mob out for your blood.
You forgot The Philosopher's Stone, The Chamber of Secrets, The Prisoner of Azkaban, and I think there were three or four others...all of which were written by [REDACTED]. They read those, like, 6 times a year.
