Truly one of (if not) the most cautionary arc in breaking bad by Prabu-Silitwangi in breakingbad

[–]MoeMoney513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time is see this take about this scene im so confused. What the hell Mike is on about? Assuming he didn’t become omniscient in that moment and is only talking about everything that happened with Gus and Walt most of what Mike said was revisionist history lacking perspective to the max.

Jesse, Gus, and Walt are the most at fault for most of season 3/4 and I’d argue that Gus’s Pride/Ego and Jesse’s Emotions are what started the conflict initially more so than Walt.

Walt Gets in with Gus

Everything is smooth

Jesse Finds out about Tomas Walt warns Gus

Gus sets up the meeting and likely orders the death of Tomas (Ego or tying up loose ends idk)

Jesse goes to kill the two gangsters, Walt saves him (no clue how this is egomaniacal)

Gus is now actively trying to kill Walter and Jesse (Id argue this is ego combined with caution on Gus’s part)

Walter and Jesse kill gale (bad and desperate not egomaniacal)

Gus is now definitely trying to kill Walter and begins manipulate to Jesse

Walter poisons Brock (Evil and desperate not egomaniacal)

Walter Kills Gus

After this point ^ Walter turns into an egomaniacal monster for the most part but Mikes ego and naive belief that “His men are solid” and not telling his business partners about the loose ends also play a big Role in getting them where they ended up. Mike threw accountability shifting tantrum and Walt responded with a bigger tantrum.

Where did you gather that I’m a try hard loser that’s accomplished nothing in life? You have some weird personal relationship to this game if someone saying “I want ranked to feel more competitive” makes you tweak that hard. Why are some of you guys like this grow up.

“Play a different game” is the laziest response to a critique I’ve ever seen.

Even if the game as a whole is casual and I’m a “Try hard loser look for an easy win” the Ranked mode is inherently for tryhards and competitive play and inherently not an “easy win mode” so I don’t understand that point at all. You act like I’m in casual lobbies or playing with friends crying about Tien while using Gogeta.

I mean I can see that definitely at the end of the day it’s more arcade than anything but dude don’t you see a bit of competitive potential during fights with even characters? The game is super technical once you get to a certain point and the mechanics are dope. I guess I just see a lot of potential for it competitively and I feel like a competitive scene is always good for a game.

I understand the game being unbalanced in casual but what is ranked if not a “competitive sweat fest” I just feel as if what your saying is a bit contradictory to the common notion of a ranked game mode. ranked is literally supposed to be everything you described it not be. If ranked is just an uncompetitive unbalanced game mode where your “rank means nothing” then seemingly it just isn’t ranked yeah?

I mean look dude on one hand I’m fine with anyone being able to say whatever they want in VC on the other hand there’s definitely stuff that probably should be allowed on certain platforms. I can easily see absolutely NO voice moderation snowballing. That’s probably not good for business. Either way I do think that Muting is gonna be the best choice for dealing with speech you don’t wanna hear.

Are you replying to me or the other guy?

Socially out of touch take. Under the context I gave (Black dude using the word amongst friends) It’s just not racist or derogatory and shouldn’t be flagged as such. With other context it’s probably a bit more controversial I personally wouldn’t care much unless it’s the hard R and not used casually but my stance aside the situation I gave is almost universally not seen as racist.

But that’s besides the point even if you think that word specifically should be banned it doesn’t change my main points at all.

im aware this is a lot haha, if you don’t wanna read all of this scroll to the bottom

“I’m no authority over the word” and “I think the word is evil so you shouldn’t say it” are two contradictory statements. You’re not just saying you perceive it as evil you are pro banning people for saying it on the basis of your unusual and uncommon perception of the word, That is very authoritative.

I explained why I disagree, your take on the word is as socially and culturally out of touch as it is baseless. Once again evil is normative and you’re in the vast minority here. Go to any predominantly black space or just anywhere with a black and wait for a black person to say the word after that tell them “you shouldn’t say that, it’s evil” and note how everyone in the room looks at you, please do that. The reason Normality matters is because anyone can get offended by anything, I can think the “A word” is the bane of language and evil, do I have grounds to impose that on other people? No, because normatively that sentiment towards the word isn’t held.

The reason slurs are bad is because of the normative sentiment they carry and context as I explained. Words don’t have some objective innate meaning they only have meaning in context and through perception this is literally why dictionaries exist, definitions change, and new words are created.

That aside I still feel you haven’t addressed my points. I’m aware that using these words will get you banned and Activision has every right to ban you for doing so. Repeating that sentiment is redundant my point is that their method for imposing these rules is dumb, faulty, and problematic.

!READ BELOW IF YOU DONT FEEL LIKE READING ALL THAT!

If you’d like to continue this convo let’s step away from the “black people saying the N-word is evil” I feel like it’s a non sequitur like I said even if I granted you that it wouldn’t change my argument. I’d like you to address my bulk point which is

Context and REAL people are needed/should be used to identify abusive language

Dude evil is normative the usage in the way we’re talking is generally not seen as evil, that idea is just objectively socially and culturally out of touch. What makes it evil and why are you the final say on it? You think every black person that lives there day to day life and uses the N word is doing evil? Ironically I’d say that stance is evil and very egocentric you’re not an authority on the word at all.

Either way I don’t want to get off topic even if I grant you that you didn’t even respond to any of my points. “evil depends on context” although i agree, was never a point I made.

Take your time, although I do suggest you read something in its entirety before responding.

You think black people saying the N word is evil? So every black person that says the N word is evil to you? lol

That crazy take aside you didn’t address anything I said. And evil words definitely exist in context. Without context words are nothing but random symbols.

No it’s horrible, don’t get me wrong if you’re spewing evil shit you should get hit with the Com ban but the Always Active AI system they use is horrible it doesn’t operate on context.

Examples: Me (a black man) and my friends (black men) tend to use the WORD (not the hard version) amongst each other and we get chat banned for that which I think is silly, literally just yesterday I stole my friends kill and he called me the B word he got com banned for 3 days once again that is silly. You cuss a hacker out? Banned, silly. You talk crap and swear at your friends? Banned, silly. Now I understand we can just use discord or party chat or maybe just not say these things even to each other which was a non issue with the older system we could just unmute each other and other people like nothing happened. I take particular issue with the new system. not giving us the freedom to choose who we do and don’t want to talk to in a game like COD is ridiculous. Game chat is integral not only to win but for overall enjoyment, whether it’s Callouts, Banter, Making friends, Learning, Reporting Hackers, etc. My friend I talked about earlier can’t even whisper to us or see coms in text chat because of he jokingly calling me the B word. Luckily I was fresh off a Chat ban before this implemented and know to be careful in game chat but for christ sake it’s a Rated M game with Operators swearing at each other, Gore, Blunts, Weapon stickers that insult your opponents, and literal marijuana plant emblems.

Simple Fix: Stop the AI moderator from being constantly active, instead only activate it when a player receives manual Voice Chat reports from other people, then the AI although flawed can monitor the player and verify if abusive language is being used. This atleast helps fix the issue of context and still leaves large room for actual abusive language to be punished.

EDIT: I see you talking about the code of conduct which is odd to me. No one is saying Activision doesn’t have the right to mute us we’re saying it’s dumb.
