Taking care of the elderly might not be directly beneficial, but it's important for society's morale. Nobody wants to see someone benefit society for 40-50 years and then get tossed aside like garbage the second they're infirm. Why would anyone want to spend their best years working if that was the case?
It also shows a respect for elders and a willingness to learn from them, which is good for preserving a society's values. It's something which western society is sorely lacking right now.
It's not even a real plight. It's literally a woman who doesn't think they're actually women and that their encroachment on language and women's spaces is hurting real women. She's not trying to have them oppressed or locked up or genocided or anything.
You could argue that a streamer endorsing a game made by someone who is openly trying to hurt you, you might have a reason to be upset. But this is fake nonsense, they worked themselves into a frenzy over it and they're pulling the 'genocide' card unironically. Completely unhinged.
I'm beginning to think it's true that they decide what behavior is harassment or not based entirely on how attractive a man is to them.
They don't want to have coherent rules for men to follow. They want to be able to decide what's good and bad, right and wrong, or safe and unsafe, on a whim. Because that is ultimate power.
Of course they want to be free of LGBT people. Even LGBT people want to be free of LGBT people.
Of course they want to be free of LGBT people. Even LGBT people want to be free of LGBT people.
We demand the power to destroy your life over accusations made without a shred of proof, or even for so much as looking at us askance, and to be able to retroactively withdraw consent for interactions that already took place
WHY ARE YOU RELUCTANT TO INTERACT WITH US??????
And one of them is thinking of crying to HR about it because he doesn't want to be, or doesn't feel safe being, on friendly terms with them. Essentially using an authority figure to force someone to be her friend.
Vile.
Well shit. Does that mean I'll get a state funded maid?
No, you'll get state mandated M.A.I.D.
I'll get smacked by whichever side is at the helm, but I'm pretty sure the right will smack me less than the left.
At least the right will smack you in ways that strengthen society rather than destroy it, and encourage you to strengthen yourself too.
And you see now why the "It's OK to be white" poster triggers the NPC left so hard.
Yes, because behind the thin veneer and mental gymnastics of 'opposing hate speech' it's obvious what their real opinion is: it's not even slightly OK to be white
'Lead the way' was a bit much. But diversity was always built on counterfactual, feel good lies.
Also note how wonderful and noble tradition is when it comes from racial minorities. But all white traditions must be destroyed.
I think it's a matter of scale. The LGBT activists are the obsessive, destructive, authoritarian leftists, the wokeness in the game itself is just corporate appeasement. Corporate appeasement is also highly destructive and in most cases I'd say hell no, but the greater evil here is the group of psychopaths who are actively crusading to destroy freedom of speech and punish wrongthink. They are dangerous and vile.
I think I'm going to hold off on pulling the trigger until the last possible second
This is always the right call tbh.
So just like the rest of us then.
Consoomers gotta consoom.
More charitably, people form emotional/nostalgic associations with these games and they don't want to let the pozzedness stop them from continuing. That's exactly why they infiltrate and subvert existing IPs instead of making their own.
Still wish people would have a shred of self respect and learn to say no
They probably don't care.
I don't blame them for not caring how their games are localized in other countries, but I hope they're taking notes at least. You can bet they'll care when the progressive reaper comes knocking on their door.
Only whiteness is responsible for societal ills.
Isn't it, ultimately? We let this shit happen. Most of the garbage that has destroyed our society has come from white progressives and white leaders.
Okay, so the 'hello fellow whites' demographic deserve a heavy portion of blame, but who let them do this? We did. Our race is cucked. It's not totally our fault, because the propaganda and demoralization has been fucking insane, but we're still responsible for ourselves. The more we try to externalize the blame, the less agency we give ourselves to fix it.
Oh yeah, but this CRT shit is utter garbage. Burn it.
That's a strange way of telling the troons to fuck off.
Outside of the broader context where they're doing everything they can to destroy freedom of speech, sure. I just think that's a more important battle than the Body Type A/Body Type B stuff right now. But it all needs to go in the end.
No.
Someone has to care about your murdered kids, because you obviously don't, you pathetic piece of shit.
Or, did the show writers legit think that was some horrible form of torture?
Pretty sure pro-abortionists have made a big deal out of how horrible and traumatic it is to try and talk the woman out of it, show ultrasounds of the baby etc. The writers definitely had an agenda to push with that one.
What makes this nuanced is that a woke person could see this as supporting their trans shit, but if you look at it: the whole message is AGAINST transing the kids!
Sorry man, I don't think it is. Sounds like they're just taking a detour to the same destination. 'See how bad it feels to have the wrong gender assigned to you at birth? That's totally what happens with trans people and this is how they feel every day! We should support them when they want to affirm their true gender!' Their whole delusion is based on AFAB/AMAB (Assigned Male/Female At Birth) and this is a thinly veiled attempt to legitimize that.
I'll admit I haven't seen it. Maybe there's more nuance than I think. If they're doing a TNG LARP they're probably copying the 'raise questions but don't dictate answers' thing but that doesn't mean the writers aren't looking for opportunities to preach in a more underhanded way.
I'm not falling for anything.
It probably started as a marketing campaign, but the trans community is throwing a tantrum and doing the usual flexing and trying to shame/threaten people into not getting it. I want that to fail more than I want the game to fail.
It seems woke as fuck, obnoxiously 'diverse' and possibly even anti white, but this is very much a free speech issue. Trans activists want it to make it fail so they can further tighten their stranglehold on what speech is acceptable.
It probably was made by people who hate me and it was definitely made by people who are desperate to pander to gender psychopaths. But I want it to succeed anyway. I want to send a message to cultural tyrants in the trans community and I want that message to be ' You're not getting your way this time. Fuck. Off.'
Supporting something with Body Type A and Body Type B and 75% nonwhite characters is a bitter pill, but I want to win this battle even if it's a pyrrhic victory. There will be more opportunities to fight the rest of the bullshit.
That's where I stand anyway.
At what point do we acknowledge the agency of teenage girls, who are actually “of age” in the vast majority of states and nations, in their relationships with men?
It's a controversial take but I agree that 16 year olds have sexual/romantic agency. At the very least it's weird that people act like it's in the same ballpark as prepubescents. We have age of consent laws for good reason but it's stupid when people think 17 years and 364 days is magically different from 18 years.
But they're still young and inexperienced, and relationships with significant age gaps can be predatory.
Plus, Roiland was creepy as fuck in his messages with her.
unprincipled consumerism IS pathetic, but their problems with this game are entirely made up and they're just trying to throw their weight around and prevent people from playing it to validate their delicate feelings. If they actually had a real concern, they'd also have a real point. As it stands they don't.
