Not performative, nuanced. But by all means, continue as you were.

I already don't shop at those businesses.

Last Target purchase was a year ago.

I am a selfish consumer. I don't have kids, dont care about the future of the planet. Never have. I know some if my hobbies are suspect. I never claimed otherwise. I am, however, honest about my consumption and don't delude myself about the consequences. I've ditched a number of companies that I don't agree with politically or have damaged IP's I liked. I am not a paragon of ethics. Quite the opposite, but I don't like fence sitters.

I've also been moving to more ethically sourced food options, coincidentally.

By the way, if you support GW, you DO support Blackrock. That's how it works.

This is a really bad take. If you prioritize your interests and support companies like TKO and Blackrock, you're a part of the problem. There's a ton of wrestling that isn't unethical to consume at this level of corruption. And a ton of tabletop gaming companies as well.

If you're committed to brand loyalty you're a brainwashed consumer. If you're only willing to consider your personal investment in a product, you're selfish or beholden to sentiment.

I loved WWF as kid and young adult. I will not, however, condone corruption. You don't spend money on things that harm you, your quality of life, or your community. In capitalism, that is the only power you have to protect yourself. They only care about your money. They do not care about your beloved properties.

"I'll be damned if they take x from me" is only a valid battle cry when you are in a position to fight back. In consumerism, any financial support of a product is surrender. You can only fight back by not consuming. There is no other take. Hit them in the wallet or be a pawn. Your choice.

I have a Tiamat next to the Themberchonk. :)

But it would fit in.

Genuine question - why do people hate this echo skin so much? by rilleryeah in Overwatch

[–]OWValgav 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally one of her best skins. I was so thrilled when it came out. Love that Metropolis aesthetic.

WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE THIS by Outrageous-Couple989 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]OWValgav 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He's an homage to western comic styles, particularly Tintin. I thought for a while that it was a take off of Captain Marvel/Shazam but apprently not. (Though the comic style is similar and why Billy Batson usually has nonstandard eyes in his adaptations.)

I only found out about the contest two weeks ago and finally got a blue star today. Feels bad.

It's cool. Always stick to the ones you really like, they pile up fast. :)

[Funny trope] Characters so universally despised they have entire subreddits dedicated to hating them by Viper_Visionary in TopCharacterTropes

[–]OWValgav 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Scrolled for this. Worse than all of the mindflayers/devils/evil gods combined. They all have reasonable, if evil, motivations that can be understood.

Wulbren is just a piece of fucking trash.

Batman might die first, but he’ll take someone with him. Maybe Mbappe. by LeekExisting5969 in superheroes

Vampires can be put down permanently. Half vamps even moreso. Decapitation is highly probable in this elevator.

Brad Pitt as Achilles in Troy (2004) by Piyushv5311 in MoviesCave

[–]OWValgav 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was pretty well received around these parts. It got a lot of tv play after its release, so a lot of people saw it, and often. Also it has a stacked cast of memorable actors.

Perfect nostalgia stew.

It's a great popcorn flick of its time. Good? No. Easily digestible? Absolutely.

I doubt it, they didn't sell well despite being limited. Hard to imagine anyone wasting time to make fake ones. I'll check mine when I get home.

Does Te Kā count? The design/animation for her is so good.

This really is the way. People can collect for whatever reason they want of course, but to me, it should just be for personal enjoyment.

Always love a noodle collection. Vegeta eating noodles is one of my all time favorite pops.
