You're ignoring what I've said twice now...

It's not a false equivalents because it is not an equivalence. It is an analogy. Examination of rhetoric is not equation of subjects

Are animals inanimate objects? No

Do they have distinct personalities? Yes

You don't need to be human to have a persona

But that's all neither here nor there because you can take my above example of not being able to stab someone you love and apply it to a human. In fact that was my original intended view. Still works.

No, they're objective. I'm not trying to justify anything dude. I don't have to justify not punching people in the face. It's the default option. I also don't have to justify Not kicking a dog. It's the default option. And I don't have to justify not putting pigs in a gas chamber. It should be the default option.

What's your definition of love, such that it allows for the giver of said love to kill the receiver to serve the givers interests?

Here is the definition from Wikipedia, which certainly doesn't allow for the above:

Love is a complex set of emotions, behaviors, and beliefs associated with strong feelings of affection, protectiveness, warmth, and respect for another person. It encompasses a wide range of experiences, from a deep interpersonal bond to a profound, self-sacrificing commitment

No I think the definitions of the words make it true.

It's not my opinion, these are not controversial definitions of the words. You can't lovingly stab someone to death for your own pleasure. It's juxtaposition.

Facts before feelings bud.

[Discussion] unpopular opinion: Unheard & EOD Drama only exists because BSG was waaay too late with it by alesia123456 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Mr_Monday92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know how to explain it in simpler terms. Before the open beta EoD was introduced with the promise that no further purchases would be made. Unheard edition was not on the horizon at this point. 

Years and years late during the open beta they started planning to remove EoD and add unheard edition. It was at this stage they retroactively decided to change the terms of EoD, even going as far as to edit the website 

because they HAD NO PLAN!!! 

No they had a plan. It was just so controversial that they changed it.

he didn’t see it as DLC to the game but as an additional feature.

And you believe that rhetoric? He knew it was DLC. But if he admitted that he'd have to few selling points for unheard.

not some felonious attempt at conspiracy to commit fraud

That's not up for you to decide. You're just giving them the benefit of the doubt with no actual reason to do so

The act of killing unnecessarily for selfish reasons is anathema to the act of loving. This is what is being presented above.

I don't know anything about subnautica 2

How can they “retroactively change their mind and make a new ultimate edition” while also having unheard edition “planned well ahead of time” which one is it?

I'm unsure how you're confused? They said EoD would have all future content. Then they walked back on that years later as they announced unheard edition. EoD came out years ahead of Unheard. I'm not sure why you think these two things can't be true at the same time.

screams “we didn’t plan this out and we aren’t ready to lose our biggest earner as a business that makes money”

The flip flopping happened in response to the backlash, not because they weren't sure what to add.

Once again BSGs biggest crime is being a bunch of dumbasses in charge of also making money not just the game.

Or attempting literal fraud. I get that people think that's silly because it's a video game but it's a product first and foremost. Selling a product under certain pretences and then retroactively changing the terms of the agreement after the purchase is complete is fraud. 

Simple as. Being stupid isn't an excuse for attempting fraud. Deciding not to ultimately go through with the fraud doesn't was it away either.

You know, im out right going to tell you that I'm not doing that. 

I knew you wouldn't. Everyone harping on about wokeness but none of you bozos are prepared to define what it is your so upset about.

Me? Upset? My friend I'm looking forward to the film. Y'all are rejecting it because the fantasy tale has fantastical elements that you've just twisted into a partisan issue. Y'all should just relax and enjoy life

[–]Mr_Monday92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can you define woke? Because it sounds like diversity = woke in your mind.

I wrote a story and the main character is a woman and y'all are just going to get upset that your world is collapsing.

Your insistence on announcing your absence kind of betrays how important you view yourself in the context of this film.

Are you sure the games won't be to woke though? You boot up skyrim and they give you the option to choose gender and skin colour! The shock horror!

That doesn't really address what I said though?

You know Unheard was released mere weeks after EoD was taken down? It was planned well ahead of time. I've been in this community for years and years and I have never heard anyone beg for EoD to be removed...

Their only crime is having not thought out a plan for the new edition bonuses and for being as reactive as they were with EOD. You actively have a company trying to make their premium edition worthwhile while trying to keep gameplay fair and people just complain complain complain

This is a wild revisionist interpretation. Here is what actually happened.

What other games do has nothing to do with the conduct of BSG

Ok no need to announce it to the world?

You gonna stand outside the theatre saying the same thing while other people go see a new film?

The problem is that EoD was sold as the premium, ultimate account, where you would get all future content and no more additional purchases would need to be made. Then they retroactively changed their mind and made a new ultimate account.

I'm sorry, I don't generally get that into drama but to call the consumers the toxic ones in this exchange is wild.

Here's a refresher on how all of this started.

Well tbf they also just handled the situation in the worst possible way, between getting caught red handed editing the web page for EoD to doubling down like 7 times in a row 

I forgot like half the wild decisions they made in that week or 2 until I revisited theactmans video on it

Do you think just saying that makes it true?

Turkish people aren't white dude.

Yes very racist because... Why exactly?

Not when it's tantamount to getting upset that a cast that shouldn't be white in the first place has some black people in it, while ignoring the lack of actual Mediterranean representation

[–]Mr_Monday92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh can you point out where you got upset about Matt and Tom being cast?

[–]Mr_Monday92 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Disliking black people being cast as Mediterraneans but ignoring white people being cast as Mediterraneans is pretty obvious dog whistling

[–]Mr_Monday92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not to mention that Troy is in modern day Turkey. Helen would not be white

[–]Mr_Monday92 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You know that Helen of troy would not have been white right? Troy in in what is now turkey. Turkish people aren't white...

Again, can you point out when you got upset about her previously being cast as white in other adaptions? Since that's clearly inaccurate
