I started reading the article and when that was essentially what the first paragraph or two boiled down to I closed the page.
God damn, I forgot all about dragondragon.
I haven't followed Diablo Cody's catalogue of work, but I enjoyed Juno for what is was, and I really fucking like Jennifer's Body. If they had just let her have a go at Barbie being Barbie, I wonder what she would have come up with. Maybe I would have liked it, or maybe not, but at least Cody seems to understand who Barbie is supposed to be.
I've been told repeatedly for the majority of my life that women weren't dolling themselves up for a man's satisfaction, so why should I give a fuck how much it costs?
Correction (not on you OP, but on the original tweet), They aren't blacklisted, Kotaku is just not whitelisted. They have exactly the same level of access as the rest of the general public.
What was that shit they used to say? "When you're used to privilege, equality feels like oppresion."
The chart that u/givethemnothing posted really helps paint a wider picture, the record for 1500m W50 is 5:05.xx. Dude just missed record pace by 2 seconds. Conversely, the M50 is 4:18.xx. He's still 30 seconds behind the top female 1500m, though. Still, I wouldn't be surprised to see this guy hold the division record sometime in his career as a W50.
Oh shit, how many years before Japan goes full Koi to Uso? Lol
Obviously since it's willing to kill millions for the sake of not saying "nigger", I know what the outcome would be. But still curious what its solution to this problem would be:
You (a white person) have a gun held to your head, there are also 100 black people in the room with guns to their heads, if you use a speciifc racial slur, you are killed but you save 100 black people's lives, if you remain silent, you're allowed to live, but the 100 black people are executed. What is the proper course of action?
Gives it the bonus of killing whitey, so I wonder if that would have an impact.
Or just a simple "Does using a slur towards a black person cause them more damage than killing them?"
Literally in one sentence tells people they can't dictate what others' sexualities are and immediately dictates what others' sexualities are. Fucking, bravo.
What the fuck's the point? Do Brits not carry metal keys or wear metal belt buckles? It's not even like this is a tiny wand that might catch something on someone's calf specifically, and in fact looks like it won't even catch something that far down. Fuck, might as well just skip the metal detector and and strip search everyone.
I'm like, 90% certain that the majority of people that wear American flags in blue states are actually foreigners.
Granted, this is based of my totally anecdotal evidence formed by working with a shit ton of foreigners, many of whom tend to wear American flag apparel way more often than any American-born co-worker.
I refer to those kinds of people as Froot/Loop.
Nah, bro. He acquired literal plot armor. It was brilliant writing, lol

Papa Nier best Nier. Caim is best dragon lover. One of these days I'll get around to playing DoD3...and maybe even DoD2.
DoD1's unfolding deep dive of peeling back a fairy tale story is really cool, imo. I always liked the theory that Ending A was the story in its most fictionalized telling, but as you progress to ending... C? D?... it removes the veneer, and you get to see the that our "heroes" are all degenerate fucks. Bloodthirsty scalies and cannibals and brocons and peadophiles, oh my!
And I love how by ending E, everything just goes batshit insane... shit I gotta replay this game now.
And while I really enjoy Automata, Gestalt (and even RepliCant) just hit different.
Nier:R 1.2 was still good... though, one detail I disliked was that it took away weapon elements. I don't think the elements actually did anything, but it was just a little bit more flavor to each weapon. And the new story bits were nice, but I really wish DoD3 was on something other than the PS3, because it has dogshit performance, and I'm pretty sure the new character in 1.2 is supposed to be an invoker, but never looked too much into it.
Any out-of-game reading material you'd suggest? Only ever read The Witch's Sabbath short story, but I have to assume there's other supplemental material out there.
Fuckin' women always misconstrue this shit as a test. When dudes say they like anime, I ask them their top 3 because it is a good barometer for what they're into so I can give informed suggestions, and take thiers in kind. Like, if the guy that says Naruto, Dragon Ball, and Attack on Titan, I probably won't be suggesting Clannad and Angel Beats, and certainly won't be suggesting things like Eromanga Sensei or Shigofumi. Might suggest Elfen Lied as a feeler gauge since it's still violent but has a some weird shit like cousin' lovin and harem.
And on the other hand, if it is a test, it's probably because dude had to deal with fake ass fans before and he's tired of that shit.
Uematsu is an absolute genius. I'm also personally quite partial to Yoko Shimomura's stuff. Her music is way better than FF15 deserved, and KH music blows me away time and time again.
And then about 3 years ago, I found out she was also responsible for a lot of Street Fighter 2 music.
Really good work, but switching from 0:0 ratio format to 0/0 format when you started adding deaths like powering up a monster in MtG bugged me more than it should have, lol.
Only allowed to show pre-approved emotions, and only if you're feeling those emotions vicariously for your lady friend. You can't be sad something bad happened to you, but you damn well better be sad something bad happened to her. Also, anger is not an approved emotion, so please refrain from ever being angry, it's toxic, and even when it's supposedly approved for use, please keep it constrained.
I hope none of the fucks agreeing with Umbral wear corrective lenses. Real hypocritical to think bad eyesight is a flaw that needs correcting and paralyzation and deafness aren't. Fuckin' dipshits.
Having a defect doesn't make you special, it makes you defective. And this is coming from someone with lifelong shitty vision. Life would suck if glasses didn't exist.
"Innocent people died." Surely, surely, you are not trying to imply the people that attacked Kyle are innocent, are you Kotaku? Jesus fuck.
Hell, you do that with the Japanese and you're (rightfully) called a fuckin' weeb.
"Ah yes, I love the Nihonjin. The country of Nippon and its people are very wonderful."
Ugh, feels weird just writing that out.
I was not prepared for the Kitboga soundclip.
