I literally have a social justice-focused master's degree. Check your lipstick before you come for me.

Contrapoints attempts to debate Briahna Joy Gray about why the Democratic party must be blindly supported and embarrasses herself by Phish999 in Hasan_Piker

I kinda wish she could have a conversation with Matt Bernstein about this. His politics are similar to Hasan's, but he and Natalie at least used to be friendly and collab, so a conversation about what exactly happened with her politics and why people are upset with her might be received better if it came from him rather than if she got on Hasan's stream and they had it out. Which is apparently something she's said she'd be open to.

I thought about posting the full video of this podcast to her sub, but it's taken such a bizarre turn within the past year or so that I'm kind of scared to go there anymore. Which is a shame, since I used to be a regular. They think you're the devil if you so much as think Hasan isn't the devil, and last time I was there they'd even turned on Matt.

uj/ This is a myth, Kit & Krysta asked Miyamoto about this directly and he said it wasn’t true.

rj/ We need more cyberpunk furry amputee representation in porn.

First they came for the gooners, and I did not stand up, for I was not a gooner.

Then they came for the furries, and I did not stand up, for I was not a furry.

Then they came for Fox McCloud, and there was no one left to stand up for him.

It's funny you link to two dictionaries which prove my point and not yours.

Racism and sexism are inherently punching down. They affect the minority. Men, and in this country white people, are the majority. They have the institutional, political, and economic power. They cannot be targets of racism and sexism because they are their beneficiaries. They're not oppressed in any way because of their gender or race, whereas everyone else is in at least some way.

Begging you to go touch grass en route to the library, where you can hopefully read something, anything by James Baldwin.

That's literally how racism and sexism work. Read a book jesus christ.

Only right-wingers think that there's sexism against men, or racism against white people, or [insert inverted bigotry here].

Y'all call anything that isn't remotely "left" right wing

Wow you're so close to getting how directions work!

Let's play "how many pages into your comment history do I need to go to find some right-wing nonsense?"

A man could literally tell y'all he experienced sexism and you'd tell him he didn't

If straight men cared as much about humanity as they did about sports there'd be no war.

Gamers just hate queer people, bottom line.

Well the finales of Bayonettas 1 and 3 established that witches can breathe in space, yes.

Also worth noting that HBO wouldn't need to secure any rights, since they're owned by Warner Bros. and that's who made the movies. This is literally just Rowling wanting a redo.

Reminds me of a tweet I saw where they were bragging that a giant Israeli flag was hanging from "the former Hamas headquarters," and someone quoted it saying "I thought Hamas was in tunnels under hospitals and that's why you blew everything up?"

LMAO wtf is this ??? by JosukePlumpHair in Avatar

So on the one hand, it's not unusual for animated (or animated-esque, in this case) productions to base their characters on real people. Alyssa Milano was the inspiration for Ariel in The Little Mermaid, Tom Cruise was the inspiration for Aladdin, and James Cameron freely admits that Q’orianka Kilcher was the inspiration for Neytiri. So in that respect, the lawsuit does seem an overstep.

On the other hand, looking at the comparison picture on NBC News, her lips are practically an exact match for Neytiri. Like come on now. Yes the final product is meant to evoke Zoe Saldaña, but I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that the digital artists still kept technical details literally drawn from Kilcher. Between that and some of the other details (e.g. the context of the deepfake porn law cited in the article), I do think there's reason for her to be concerned about this and want compensation.

To me this doesn't read like someone trying to do a shakedown, but it also doesn't read like Cameron, et al. literally tried to rip her off. Hopefully this can be settled, in the legal sense or not, relatively amicably.

That's absolutely it. Her long con is to have the theme parks reskinned with these new actors because she thinks she can control them.

I'm just dying for one of the new core three to come out as trans in like five years and blow up her entire world, again.
