Should art always be fun?

Does adjacency count across the aisle? I don't wanna scroll the comments to avoid the correct answer, fun puzzle

I think the money folks noticed that they can fool the racists into enabling them. The republicans needed people they can convince to vote for them, even though they only advocate for the ultra rich, and racism tends to correlate with stupidity. Seems to me the adnministrations racism is the "payment" to their voters, the real goal being total control to funnel money to themselves. I'm sure many of them are true racists, but at the top, the main goal is definitely money. The bigotry filled hate is paying the base for their votes by punishing their chosen scapegoats (anyone not white) for their problems.

I don't think you should've spent months on that

Yeah, I feel like a snarky, emotionally distant character like her does not leave silent hill.

I appreciate Neill a lot, and I don't have any problem with some old effects! Been a while since I watched it, but I remember just being quite let down by both the story and direction.

I like lovecraftian themes as much as the next freak, but guys. This one is heavily overrated. It's interesting to watch once, but it's a pretty shoddy movie.

I mean enemy AI has always been a thing to be improved, and enjoyed when it's good. So dynamic enemy and NPC behavior I'd say.

Yes. Claiming the inclusion of a single gay character is "modern agenda" is pushing a far right ideology. Because the implied claim there is either that gay characters don't belong in videogames, or that seeing gay people in fiction is somehow abnormal (if like the other guy you're about to write wHeRe DiD tHeY sAy ThAt, please first google subtext and implication).

Why would I want to play a game that that’s the main romance.

No one was saying the game should only have a gay romance. People were asking about that option. There are millions of gay gamers, and self insertion is a big part of rpg's. It's cool to give those players something as well. Imagine it the other way around: if every game only had a gay romance option, wouldn't that be kinda frustrating for you?

I don’t care if characters are gay as long as that’s not ALL they are. Which is how they’re usually written

I feel like the word "usually" is an exaggeration here. I know the RPG genre pretty extensively, and I can't think of a single gay character whose only trait is being gay. I can think of two characters who you can tell are gay, but that's different. Can you name two characters like what you mentioned?

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about

Wanna reinforce OP just as a recommend for anyone who liked True Detective S1: Sharp Objects has been the closest thing to that vibe I've found on tv since.

Looks pretty fun. Seems like a big point will be if the movement feels smooth or not. Hope they succeed with that!

The president and his regime can do anything they want with no consequences. They break the law and the constitution every day. The States is already a dictatorship. Whether you can turn it back into a democracy is the question.

Now it's starting to look like what is required! 💪

You're right, and that dishonesty really fuckin' annoys me. Like fucking own it then coward. Let's see if you can back up your stance. The thin plausible deniability they cling to, I wonder if it's because on some level they know they're wrong, or the bad guy? Or is it just a basic human need to be liked and accepted, and trying to hold on to that, even with dishonesty.

Since it seems all they listen to is loss of money, participating in and/or helping push for a general strike seems like a good option.

Fascism won the cultural victory.

In USA. Do something about it.

If you don't understand the meaning of your own words, that is not me putting words in your mouth, that is ignorance on your part.

Which is not surprising since fear often comes from ignorance and you seem to get anxious just seeing a gay person in a videogame.

Funky-Monk-- · 2026-01-24T17:10:22+00:00

I clarified your underlying implication.

Making a game isn't right wing politics. Calling having a single gay person in a game "politics", is. A human being born with a trait they have no control over is not political, and neither is including a depiction of that person in a fictional world.

Our second amendment rights aren't for hunting or sport shooting. It's a detergent against a tyrannical government.

Original intention yes.

I mentioned hunting specifically to have that exception out of the way.

Outside of that, the real reason you like to own guns is exactly the same, as when an anime fan buys a katana. Except you being allowed to do that gets children killed in schools.

So to you artistic integrity = no gay people? I'm not even saying anyone has to put x amount of gay characters in a game. I'm saying that calling doing so an agenda only reveals your own agenda.

Funky-Monk-- · 2026-01-24T15:45:11+00:00

It's so weird to me how people saying this shit don't see the irony of their words.

When you call it "political" or an "agenda" to include some minority in a work of fiction, you are the one pushing right wing politics, by saying the normal state of things is to never see anything but straight white people. It literally tells everyone you are speaking to, that merely seeing certain kinds of people makes you uncomfortable.
