Maybe their identity politics worked too well.
Yes, the golem has turned against its master. The powers that be have spent decades pushing destructive idpol subversion, without any care for how it could come to bite them. Well, bite them it has, and it's wonderful to see.
Holocaust™ no longer works as a moral club to keep the goy in line, because to millennials and gen z, it is barely remembered ancient history. This terrifies the Holocaustians, at a primal level.
Plus they've overused the hell out of it. People have seen that club employed in response to the slightest criticism, and they've gotten used to the beatings.
Why should he care what American citizens think of Israel? He's American... right?
She would probably be more at home in Moscow or Shanghai.
Sadly, we're fast approaching the point (if we're not there already) where people in Moscow or Shanghai can just as easily say that about the west.
Blatant replacement.
I'm sure they comprehend that just fine. They're not single-issue extremists like a certain person who uses this site, they're very likely angry about all the same things you are and for most of the same reasons, and they're white nationalists.
I honestly was 'shook' when I first saw this in a GTA game. It was realistic for the time made me very uncomfortable. Then I got over it, because it's fictional. I don't know that I LIKE having become desensitized to it, but whatever.
It's weird that someone would get upset about it now, especially someone used to these games, who by his own admission happily rampages against the police in them.
You don't criminalize something based on what it could progress to though. That's the argument they use in trying to get rid of guns. Something needs to be illegal or not on its own merits.
I agree with this actually.
I mean, yeah, it's probably just an intentional slippery slope. But I never thought that looking at pictures should be considered a crime, even if they're horrible pictures. Same with creating something fictional. I remember someone being prosecuted for drawing underage Simpsons characters having sex or whatever. I thought that was unjust then, and I think it's unjust now.
This can be just family videos on YouTube where they used to share timestamps of the kids in swimwear so YouTube blocked all comments on content aimed at or featuring children as the main stars or to the extreme of pornhub where they KNOW they have a pedo community and willfully turn a blind eye for profits.
I might have my priorities wrong, but somehow this is what bothers me the most. Not that there are creeps out there who get off to watching innocent videos of kids; that is nauseating but potentially limited in terms of harm. What alarms me is how brazen they are, how comfortable they feel openly communicating with others of their kind and spreading that filth. How willing they are to taint and corrupt something innocent rather than just keep it to themselves.
I think that's what makes them monsters. They're not people with shameful urges they have the sense to keep hidden - though I'm sure those do exist. These are vile, soulless perverts with no moral sense to speak of, who not only cannot comprehend good, they think nothing of violating it.
You're too obvious.
White people?? In Scotland?? Say it ain't so!!
What does he think about the racial makeup of Pakistan's institutions?
Do his parents agree with him? Did they emigrate to Scotland and immediately start bitching about all the white people there? Is that why he is the way that he is?
but they don't know that, because they never learned that they had to do that.
It would be nice if most of them spent their energy learning instead of calling for that awareness to be rejected or criminalized. If they would acknowledge they're sheltered and protected and ignorant of men's experiences, instead of lecturing us how we can't possibly understand a woman's woes, but they understand everything there is to understand about us, of course.
Ignorance is forgivable if you pair it with self-awareness and a desire to learn.
I get your point, but in normalizing such an extreme response we open the door for that extreme response to be used on us.
I wish everyone thought like you.
I don't believe such thinking always holds up against an opponent who will violate every standard and create any precedent to destroy you, but it's the kind of thinking a stable and rational civilization needs.
She's a complete lunatic and a blight on civilization, but some small respect is due for her actually putting her money where her mouth is.
For reference. the character of Saga Anderson was originally white.

Alan Wake 2 isn't a reboot or re-imagining. It's a sequel, and part of the same universe this video was made for. I've heard it referred to as a 'teaser', but in Remedy games, especially Alan Wake, these live action productions are considered serious parts of the lore.
Apparently the actress playing the white Saga Anderson died. And in recasting her, they decided to abandon believable continuity to make her an empowered black role model.
There's some weird reality-bending shit going on in the Alan Wake universe, so one could say it's explainable. But whether it is explained it or not, I don't know, as I, a former fan, have no desire to play this woke trash.
You know exactly why they did this. They are saying it right here in the screenshot provided by u/alucard13mmfmj/. You can make an informed guess about the kind of people they are and what they think of their audience.
'Landmark'? Whew, for a second there I thought it said 'unprecedented' like when exactly the same thing happens but the media doesn't like it.
I won't go as far as ACAB but maybe Many/Most Cops Are Bad. They're the enforcers of the system, and if the system is bad, so are they.
But certainly ABCAB. All British Cops Are Bad. Comically, awfully, offensively bad.
That is scary, and it's not too leftist, except for the dying environment one. But if it's a leftist that produced or shared this, you know they have very... interesting opinions about what led to these things.
People always talk about golems turning on their masters, but seeing it in happen in real time is a sight to behold.
Oh, it's been DEBUNKED, huh? Just like that? Not called into question or warranting a revisit, just DEBUNKED. Well, if it's DEBUNKED, that settles it! The science, it's settled. BTW I'm sure the DEBUNKING was completely intellectually honest and scientifically rigorous, I'm sure the methodology was completely sound! It's not like an EXPERT would ever set out to find a certain answer and manipulate and cherry pick data in order to DEBUNK some understanding they find objectionable or inconvenient...
... and it's not like men and women have trivially observable physiological differences. I mean... it's been DEBUNKED.
They import American/Frankfurt-style grievance/progressivism/marxism politics, and when people naturally resist they call it 'Trumpian' in an attempt to delegitimize that resistance.
Do you know why people around the world are saying the same things, progressives? Because they're fighting the shit that you are pushing on them. They're fighting globalism, which - miraculously! - is springing up everywhere at once, in exactly the same putrid form. But apparently that's completely organic and normal, surely it's the defense mechanism which is cynical and artificial!
And yeah - they'll call everything moderately right 'far right' but they never, ever refer to anything as far left. Vile dishonesty at every turn.
Governments funding the arts is similar to this, isn't it? Tax productive people working in productive industries, and use those taxes to pay people to loaf around and work on vanity projects - most of which, these days, will be little more than propaganda.
At the time we started creating original programming, our creators felt like they were pretty trapped in this kind of overnight ratings world and weekend box office world defining their success and failures,
But that's how it's supposed to be. If you're just creating art for art's sake with no expectation of external reward, that's one thing, but if you're creating a product, or even a piece of art specifically designed for consumption and influence, it's supposed to live and die by how successful it is with consumers.
I'm the kind of guy who wishes there was more room for experimentation and artistry in the media, but even I know that creating a delusional idea of success and failure that's completely divorced from actual success and failure is what leads to the shambling monstrosity of an industry that we have now, which nobody likes, which is defined by failure after failure, and which, ironically, has no artistic integrity to speak of because the only purpose it serves is to push subversion.
How can you expect to be shielded from the performance/impact of your work and still call yourself a professional? Or even a creator at all? This isn't some auter so confident and in tune with his own work who doesn't care what others think - it's cowards hiding from any solid metric of feedback. Because they know they're hacks, but they want plausible deniability of that knowledge.
“And as we all know, a show might have enormous success down the road and it wasn’t captured in that opening box office.
The garbage you are producing are not going to find success down the road. It is despised for a reason and that reason is because it is subversive garbage. It will not stop being subversive garbage. It's not a diamond in the rough that awaits discovery. It's a stinking turd that nobody sane wants to be around.
I despise modern
