Having a significant population cons/libertarians doesn't mean anything if we don't say anything about some of the idiotic things that get promoted or are considered fine. I didn't pick those quotes earlier for nothing. I've heard them multiple times, across many different people, for years. Regretfully, I do think more should've been said back then, definitely way before there was a need for a KIA2.
It's funny about that stonetoss comic that GG got up in arms about. He was right, even if it was an accident. People only cared when it came after something they liked. They didn't care when it happened to people they didn't like. Nor did they learn despite all these years. Worse still would be that being a redpilling moment only lead to a lot of people thinking it's only just a recent thing and not something seeping in over many years if not decades.
I'll give you that GG did find plenty of things. That was a bit of a rash statement by myself.
I don't have much rules for plot outside of not putting in leftist, and dare I say, liberal bullshit.
Other than that, I don't know what you're asking for. Writing as a realm has been filled with regressives for decades, though funny enough the readers are a bit more of a mixed bag.
Yeah, I'm quite aware. Which is exactly why I say the group here shouldn't be patting themselves on the back. We're looking at a group of people that wanted to show off how left wing they were, while at the same time claiming this movement to be apolitical.
Not to mention that the part of GG being "right about everything" only pertains to games journalism. Other than that, it's wanting games to be neutral, which is a completely inane thing to desire when you want to be part of the free expression crowd. Or how about the stupid phrases that no one gets called on like the "I just wanted to play vidya" or "I didn't change, the left just became crazy" type of shit where it just shows that they don't even have two brain cells to rub together.
Also just as always, people fall back on throwing in the rep/cons at me whenever I criticize this group. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised about it coming from people that need to preface their political statements with the "I don't like Trump but..." spiel. Because whoever you do or don't like apparently impacts your creditability.
And does that follow my point? When he was considered fine people still felt the need to distance themselves from him. Now when it's popular to hate on him no one has any reservations? I don't need some lesson on why people think he failed, because people here barely backed him in the first place.
Fuck being apolitical these days. The only people chiming for them are just a bunch of liberals that are embarrassed by what they see their side becoming. While ignoring this brewing up over the decades, by the way.
I am saddened deeply to see even some people here fall for this disinformation campaign without actually assessing the only options Trump has regarding this cancer of a COVID stimulus bill.
I'm not surprised to see it though. People around here barely like him in the first place judging by how many spineless losers need to preface comments by saying they don't like him.
Honestly, there's no reason to side with anyone here anymore because they simply refuse to take a stance.
I didn't view that as a pretending to be oppressed thing. More of a this is being censored, go spread it around.
As much as I'd rather people ditch twitter for gab or parler. Of which I use none of these. It's quite clear that twitter isn't dying anytime soon. Liberals and celebrities (and Trump) have shown that.
This is my issue with at least half the people here. I might be mean about it, but people really need to reconsider their politics sometimes. It absolutely bores me whenever I have to hear someone say "I never changed my views, the left are the ones that moved away." Something in the idea of that statement. What happened to growth? Learning? How can someone just remain static if they've been around this "community", not sure what to call it, for however long. Or even how they found it in the first place.
There are so many things I want to rant about in regards to the "views(?)" of this group.
Three downvotes in three minutes. That was quick.
Honestly, don't see any problem with pointing out (((who))) is running some of the groups pushing this idpol. Personally, I wouldn't say it's all their fault or that its just them doing it. There are a lot of groups I'd lay blame on for the situation our modern era had brought about. All simply because they stand to benefit from it.
I guess people here might take a little issue with it, like they take issue with a certain user and his oft-posts with woman. Quite funny to me, since a lot are quick to point it out when someone is white.
Man, if only people here were more willing to abandons someone liberal as quick as quick as they're willing to abandon police.
Oh what's that? I'm an asshole for thinking Pewdiepie is a piece of shit leftist that donates to BLM?
What's that? "Our" allies are a bunch of so-called "based" feminists that are just leftist that had the same level of TDS as literally anyone in the mainstream news? Where we'll pretend they were never on our side than forget about it one month later when they "dunk" on Anita.
Yep, I'm totally seeing how the "based" liberals of KIA2.win are going to win this culture war.
It would appear that a lot of people here need to brush up on their history. Specifically if they're American, which I know you're not. So I don't blame any Euros for not understanding why that happened.
Did it ever occur to anyone why John Adams, someone who would become a founding father and US president, chose to defend them? First was a matter of principle, something I think is missing these days. Second was that there was indeed evidence that those soldiers fired in self-defense instead of slaughtering innocents. Things that would come out of the trial from testimony of said crowd that had been fired on.
Pretty important things too, such as the things, like clubs, being hurled at the soldiers. Yelling out phrases such as "knock them over" or "kill them". Or even what prompted the first solider to fire, which was a man hitting him hard enough to cause the solider to be knocked down. Once that first shot came out, the rest followed before the captain forced them to stop. There is reason for the jury to acquit them given the facts of the case. it should also be noted that two of those soldiers were found guilty of manslaughter.
I don't know if people are upvoting for the second half of this statement or for the absurd bail part. Because if it's the former, stop being retarded and maybe see why it ended up being that way. A lot of things in life or history are hardly that black and white. Honestly, I would think that people that generally seem to oppose the #metoo movement to understand why said movement is terrible.
You don’t have to be a Republican or a Trump supporter to like his tweets. I’m neither and agree with him about a lot of things. Critical race theory is not my gospel. Woke means nothing and BLM are rabid animals. From a registered independent centrist
There’s shit both sides say that i agree and disagree with picking sides wastes my time and i think it wastes all our time bickering over who is right. You don’t have to be that label to like something they said it’s absolutely stupid to think that and even if she is a Trump supporter unless it directly effects her work as a voice actress it shouldn’t matter but this is Twitter every little detail is evidence to cancel somebody they don’t like.
I see that Sankaku is not free of the scourge known as centrism.
Reminder that centrists are retards with a very shallow surface view understanding on political issues.
Cut content (The clock tower and only having one ending) would be the biggest one for me.
In regards to the PC dealing. A lot of people would point out that they desexualized Jill. Specially in covering up her legs, which I think this leak proves that's what the devs were going for. Personality is another thing, where they made her a lot more aggressive, as if appealing to the "girl power" crowd. All the while toning down Carlos in regards to his flirting.
Back then, I didn't know why they cut out the clock tower section. With this leak, I have the feeling that they wanted to minimize the "damsel-in-distress" trope since Jill is injuried/infected while Carlos ends up saving her. Which is still in the remake, but shortened.
A shame about the remake as I was looking forward to it. I enjoy the franchise and feel that RE 3 is a bit underrated among the main series.
I get the sneaking suspicion that people here are a lot more forgiving to those that are left leaning. See: Pewdiepie.
Honestly, I hear it enough from people that the right aren't "our" friend. So I don't care anymore. Most people here didn't care when people like me get ostracized on the media or internet until it happened to them. So fuck them.
I didn't switch to voting for the right because the right changed its stances - I switched because the left cast me out
Not an incorrect statement when it comes to describing many others who are here. Which is pretty much why I have little care on listening to people here when they spout the classic "Just want to play vidya" line.
Unfortunately, we're still at the stage with convincing liberals and libertarians that yes, weed can and is bad for your health. Though one can make the argument that the government shouldn't be controlling what one does to themselves. That is of course, contingent on how adverse said effects are on oneself, or even others.
I will say that when it comes to the "drug war", the slippery slope does indeed exist. We're getting to a point now where hard drugs have gotten decriminalized at the state level (Oregon). Because apparently it's "safer" when junkies shoot up in more regulated places to prevent deaths from ODs. Where people like them shouldn't be stigmatized so that they can get help. Etc.
Does that sound familiar? I hope that it does to anyone who frequents this site. Since these are very similar arguments you hear when it comes to pedophiles and the LGBT(Insert new letters here). Those parallels have been there for decades. Unfortunately, since the slippery slope argument is considered a fallacy, people just don't think it can happen.

Hmm, and they also conveniently decided to withhold announcing their vaccine until after the election.

These leaks are the results of hackers not getting their ransom for the context of how this happened.
I'll just quote some of the more notable findings in regards to the section people here would care more about.
Sexuality, LGBTQ, and women were also discussed. One slide features The Last of Us Part II and Shadow of the Tomb Raider as being positive examples of LGBTQ characters; and that such characters should be portrayed as appealing as male characters (and promoted in the same way). Capcom do note that certain regions view LGBTQ characters negatively.
Meanwhile, Nintendo’s Princess Peach and Zelda were used as examples of negative stereotypes of women due to being damsels in distress. This is in spite of the image used for Zelda being from Breath of the Wild; where the character takes a more pro-active role.
Sex appeal, such as bikini costumes or lewd poses and costumes, should be equal between men and women, and serve a purpose in the context of the story. However, costumes cannot appeal to only one kind of user base, such as only one gender.
Capcom used their own games as examples of this. While a shirtless costume for Street Fighter‘s Ryu was fine, R. Mika’s butt-smashing super move was not. Cases where an armor set in Monster Hunter World shows more skin on the female character was also seen as a bad thing.
While disappointing, I can't say I'm that surprised to learn about it. I think anyone with a brain could see this sort of thing happening after RE 3 Remake.
I guess we're turning into antifa with shitty memes like this.
And for those who have no clue to what I'm referring to. I'm talking about their leftist memes negatively comparing the US to North Korea of all places.
