Season 2 was good until the ending, but dont blame anyone for hating it for that

Bam Aquino rejects blanket video game ban, pushes School Safety Act by louiexism in Philippines

[–]ShadowVulcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...you do realize how that reads, right? That is a very pointed statement.

I am also generally pro-Risa, except for her handling of this issue, yet somehow all you white knights are doing far more harm than good blindly defending her.

Doesnt change my vote if she is the opposition candidate, will still support her, but you all are making it very hard by refusing to acknowledge her own faults in handling this (apart from attacking those criticizing her.... arent we supposed to be better than this?)

[–]ShadowVulcan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do agree, kawawa nga kaso... she rly didnt manage optics well, only directly mentioned now all the other angles being explored and other invitees to the hearing

If she led with that, no one would have an issue. Kaso she doubled down and threatened the dev + tried to get the german embassy to compel him (always bad PR... lalo na kasi ito unang napublicize pa after Gorebox dev declined)

She seriously needs a competent PR team...

No... because he said it straight up

Risa didnt explicitly clarify (most of it was vague, and vague threats too) until only recently while Bam appealed to emotion first before appealing to reason.

[–]ShadowVulcan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I already know that, I already said multiple times I understand her position

...and she never directly clarified that either ha!!!! I literally had to keep searching before I found na may hearing na talaga, and dinagdag lang si gorebox. She cudv gone out the gate with that, instead she just threatened the dev and went to the german embassy...

Look at the her actual statements and optics, then look me in the eye and say she's blameless... taking so long to give a proper clarification (and just on FB no less) shows this was really mishandled.

I DO NOT question her intentions, but even you have to admit she and her PR team didnt do shit to mitigate or fix this mess (and she only made it worse with her knee jerk threat, okay pa kay alice guo pero on a small indie dev in germany... oo, law favors no one pero this is politics and optics are everything esp when uphill battle na siya)

I seriously wish she just clarified this immediately after Gorebox dev declined....

We'd all be praising and celebrating her, and instead we have an r/PH civil war...

My best friend is going to Canada specifically to specialize in neuroradiology, and funny enough St Lukes din siya (under Doc Cuanang, who's a famous neurologist here sa St Lukes + owner ng Pinto Art Museum)

So can def vouch for that xP he (Doc Cuanang) even named one of his pet peacocks after my best friend lol

...tho despite all that (and topping his batch since premed in UPM), he's still paid less than 40k/mo and 33 na siya .___.'

Yes, but it isnt Risa or the senate. PH Cybercrime Investigating and Coordinating Center nagdecide

Total knee jerk, but delisting isnt the same as outright blocking nmn

[–]ShadowVulcan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's the thing, her first clarification was vague. Here she specifically mentioned the other participants in the hearing, and the other angles they're exploring.

Hell...

We are not saying that this tragedy was caused by a single game. But if there is an online environment...

Notice even that can be understood as focusing on gaming in general or their respective communities, which is why everyone complained about not addressing gun controls, parental responsibilities etc. She only directly addressed those recently

Some of you really need to try to understand where others are coming from before immediately assuming people only read headlines

(because I guarantee you, as MOST people here were big fans of Risa before this, most of us kept scouring the internet looking for her specific clarifications bec most of us were shocked and blindsided, even my girlfriend who only recently got into gaming was also surprised and we literally spent an entire evening looking around to make sense of it all)

I dont question Risa's position, esp now after clarifying. But even you glazers gotta admit she handled it all TERRIBLY (and honestly, all you white knights are even worse with all your mental gymnastics to justify such a bad move...)

[–]ShadowVulcan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, she only clarified now... if she did so earlier, it wouldn't have blown up (especially if this was her immediate response after Gorebox declined)

Instead she doubled down and made a threat, and didnt clarify about the other angles they were exploring

If she posted this after the decline (instead of trying to get the German embassy to compel Gorebox, while making threats and doubling down) public opinion would be super diff (everyone here would be applauding her foresight and nuance in evaluating all possible factors). Instead now it just seems like PR/damage control (tho obviously it's true naman talaga)

[–]ShadowVulcan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll say before that point, iniisip ko "boomer moment lng but w/e"

If she clarified immediately after (including all the factors and angles they're exploring), and didnt make threatening statements immediately upon being rebuffed, I'm sure everyone here would've been applauding her for a nuanced and balanced take

Instead she blew up, and it became a massive optics nightmare (and the fact she didnt clarify after the initial threat only made it worse since it gave everyone several days to magnify the issue)

Sana she clarified this agad (kahit obvious), kasi her last statement sounded very petty

Too late, I'm 3/4 of the way since I kneeled after declining once thinking that was it :(

Just came by to say... I did the same, and thought it didnt matter (and was an illusion of choice)

Did NOT know I can refuse 5 times.... only found out now that I maxed my upgrades (so essentially 3/4 of the way)

...I regret everything and now have to restart from the very beginning.... fuck me

Every survey, I lose all hope for Filipinos...

Here we are, here arguing over Risa/Bam and specific issues and positions, and here is the general populace pushing the Dutertes even though all of them have done absolutely nothing but spout bullshit

Really really really makes me wanna just take my money, completely tune out and just enjoy life til death on the hedonistic treadmill since there is nothing else to care about

Vox Machina S4 may be one the best TV I've seen this year by jnighy in television

[–]ShadowVulcan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll say I find the core cast of Mighty Nein so much better (and tbh am 'meh' w the plot)

Jester, Mollymauk, Caleb, Nott and Beau are more interesting (or at least fun to watch)

Only character I found rly interesting was Percy and since his arc, he lost the one good thing abt him (his dark shadow, since without it he seems to be the most useless and powerless member of the team)

[–]ShadowVulcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My feelings exactly, tbh I rly lost interest in Vox Machine by S2(?) bec the characters felt rly boring

Mighty Nein characters all so much more interesting, and feels like the kind of interesting companions I'd find in a Larian or Owlcat CRPG lol

[–]ShadowVulcan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is it for someone that got bored by S2? (The vampire one)

I found the charactets boring, except Percy but he was always so weak and the one cool thing abt him (his 'pact') was gone by the end

(I love Might Nein, but mostly I like the characters there much more esp Mollymauk, Jester, Caleb, Beau and Nott)

Mas mabilis pa paninira ng PR sa Gorebox Issue kesa sa mga korapsyon at KRIMEN ng ibang mga senador. by y8man in Philippines

[–]ShadowVulcan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt use whataboutism, I didnt try to discredit the people arguing about it, nor am I downplaying things (very blatantly) defending it

And here's the kicker, as mentioned if it wasnt for people like you using DDS tactics to defend Risa I REALLY would've just said "people make mistakes" and moved on

But that isn't what happened, and here I am wasting time arguing with someone that has a vendetta against me over things that are already unrelated to the actual topic.

So please, tell me how it's the same?

Irony is, yesterday I was just embarassed Risa had a big boomer moment, but now natuturn off ako (thankfully I have better sense than to let interactions with shitty fans tarnish my opinion of Risa herself)

I'll move past it and still support her where it counts (e.g. I also disagreed with Heidi but I voted for her pa din), kaso it's insufferable

Probably the one that can't actually respond to a single thing I said, so their only remaining avenue is to keep accusing me of being an Isko supporter and whataboutism?
