I literally was just talking about this earlier today. I don't know what the tipping point was officially but a lot of reviews of stuff this week (Starfield comes to mind) came with excuses on why pronoun selection isn't that big of a deal and you are wrong if you have a problem with it.
People who acknowledge they "don't like pronouns" or 'think they are dumb" but in the next breath say it's stupid to complain about it or even mention it.
He has a few one offs but his main series is called Jawbreakers. I'm not much into comics but I bought the first one because of the controversy. It was entertaining and the art is good.
Dang! And here I thought Ya Boi Zack was doing well by keeping his Kickstarters above 50k five years out...
Because if you want to say climate change is a serious danger, you have to be willing to do what it takes to reverse it.
I will believe in climate change when they start talking about nuking China and India to keep them from destroying the planet. Not willing to sacrifice billions now to save trillions over the next 10,000 years? Then you don't really believe climate change poses an existential threat.
The section 230 argument was good for 2014/15 but at this point we have social media taking direct orders from government agencies to act on their behalf.
The idea that anyone can say with a straight face that social media sites are not government actors is either ignorance or hubris and neither is befitting a judge.
As much as I'm not a Fuentes fan and having an appreciation for IP's work:
This was embarrassing. They did not really attack what was said, they just dismissed what was said. It was a 3 on 1 but worse than that because they were reacting to a recording. Even with those odds in their favor, they still face-planted.
Could have dropped the "Canadian" and just left it at "News outlets are biased, coordinated, and government funded." my guy.
Plot twist: Imp1 is a girl the whole time!
I have not personally noticed too much in the games themselves. Outside of the token (lol) diversity, most games are pretty neutral. The trick is finding people to play with. It is easier to make boardgamers your friends than it is to make your friends into boardgamers.
Find a game night at a local store or pub and go to one. If the people give you the wrong vibes, move on to the next one.

Less likely to get away with than smuggling hard drugs into the white house?
How is this even possible? A tiny man dressed as a women walks into a bank and writes what to get them to give them money? "You are being recorded and will be outed as racist AND transphobic if you don't put the cash in the bag!"
I grew up thinking bank heists were something risky that you planned months in advance. Has it been this easy the whole time?
But remember, it IS a sexual fetish if you don't want the women in your video games to look like men/goblins....
It was the exact opposite when I went and saw it. The A/C was on constantly and was much louder than the dialogue of the movie. I made a point of pointing it out but that was before I was introduced to the idea that there was anything shady going on.
Still don't know what I think about the whole thing...
Gotta say, I had been enjoying the White Power Skittles they had previous years. They ruined it this year by putting the propaganda on the packaging itself.
I need this on a t-shirt
This is what I've been thinking. There have been a number of "victories" within the last week or so that aren't going to amount to anything. They are, at best, openly confirming what many of us have known all along.
New official report says they were spying on Trump! But nothing happens. New hearing shows that Biden and his son have been making corrupt business deals. But nothing happens. SCOTUS rules affirmative action unconstitutional! But not only does that not help those of us that have suffered from this practice, it won't actually stop affirmative action from being practiced.
Let's not get complacent just because we've heard some pleasant headlines and didn't have to see rainbow logos this year.
Fun fact: she doesn't play the games that she finds offensive because she does not, in fact, regularly play video games!
Please don't make newpipe famous. It's all I have left...
That's what the IRS hired all those extra auditors and enforcers for, right? The government cares deeply about funds being misreported or "lost", so surely the Pentagon will be under strict audit for misreporting? I mean, if MY books were off by $6billion (or even $600), I would have my life ruined until things were back properly in order...
This is the only time that "If a drill sargent yelled tried to tell on my face, I'd laugh at them" is actually believable.
We love casting spells.
Funny that there is a word for a man who acts immature (manchild) but there is none for women who act immature. Is it because there are no women who act childish?
It's funny (sick) that child molestation is a culturally acceptable act (even pushed with tax dollars) but protesting the consensus is jail time.
