Same thing happened with "Media Matters" which was the company that turned huge portions of reddit into garbage overnight. AKA Correct the Record, Aka ShareBlue. They keep rebranding. No idea what they are now, but they proved they will manipulate social media and they have years of experience doing it.

It's the Galbrush Paradox all over again. Trannies can never be shown to be bad people, which limits the roles they can be in.

It's funny because the first time I heard the word tourist in that context it was from people trying to push female space marines and other bullshit. Literal projection.

No. This line of thinking is poison.

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it. --You are here.

Don't blame yourself. Blame the people doing this.

Egypt being in Africa is a stupid technicality. Anyone that considers Egyptian civilizations representative of Africa is an idiot.

The furries always were in gaming. They're just coming out of the closet and injecting their "lifestyle" into the games they're making and the execs aren't telling them to knock it off.

Yep. Fan translations often leave the weird cultural references intact and add a footnote to explain it. Professionals assume that will be a jarring experience and rewrite it.

What do you think a translator does? It's not just replace language A word X with language B word Y. LLMs can translate one grammar to another just fine.

What localizers do is try to replace cultural references that a different region wouldn't understand. Like if someone made a one-off Dr Seuss reference, it might not make sense to a Japanese audience and localizers will substitute that.

There's a play that's fairly popular. There's a couple catchy tunes. I don't trust Hollywood to adapt it though.

Indiana Jones 4 was supposed to be old guy teaches the new guy but we see how that played out.

Have you seen the Hunger Games movie?

The rules change 5 times in the last 5 minutes of the game. It's the perfect encapsulation of the female mindset.

Now that I think about it, if the first movie ended with a Romeo and Juliet style double suicide (the original rules remaining firm), the others movies would be set up for a perfect case of revolution.

It's a certain tribe pushing the idea hard. Women just follow whatever is "trending".

I use "manage" loosely. But yes, it's all a conspiracy. We can presume that the empire has quadrillions or pentillions to spend on researching mind control at the society level (psychomathmatics) and they use because they don't trust people to make decisions for themselves, they assume that people need a strong galaxy-wide empire to take care of them.

They can't even if they wanted to. The script is liable to change half way after they signed the contract and then the whole plot of the film can change radically on the editing room floor long after they've stopped filming. Actors have no say in what finished product comes out of their work.

Foundation is pretty crazy. It's about a pre-plan to manage the collapse and Build Back Better.

The Foundation comes under threat by someone that is born with special blood and divine gift. He is described as vile and reprehensible, but that's just from the perspective of the Foundation framing their opposition. They can't simply refute his means or his talents, they have to call him ugly.

I don't even have a phone number. The only people that call me through the phone system are scammers. I'm almost never away from wifi and many apps apps let me do voice calls.

Advertising is bullshit anyway.

If advertising worked, this would hurt the advertisers because less people would find out about their products or be bamboozled into buying shit they don't need. The advertisers mostly do this as a means to support fellow state actors through funds with minimal oversight.

"Be nice to everyone" may not be the best position for various subversive reasons, but it worked decently in the 90s. The current trend of "Blacks are poor so you must bow before them forever" is downright fucking vile.
