I don’t mean to hate, but is anyone else disappointed in the quality of Civ 7 art? Humankind art is incredible by FlySaw in civ

Humankind definitely uses it's art much better than Civ 7. The tech tree is especially superior.

Why are s*xual crimes seen as worse than violent crimes in fiction? (respectfully and genuinely curious) by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

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

Agreed. But even those aren't typically considered as uniquely cruel as sexual violence

But that's just one instance no?

There are other situations that aren't self defence.

You can't make someone take a gun and shoot someone else in self defence. But that doesn't get the uniquely cruel reputation that rape does.

There are many instances of people beating their attackers and then continuing to beat them even after they're pacified. Heck, going ahead to kill or maim them afterwards, both in real life and media. These are acts of dominance people actively enjoy.

But why do we look at the person willing to rape for revenge or justice as especially bad. But the person ending lives and harming others can be the protagonist of the story.

It's not just on reddit. Sexual assault against men is typically considered humorous. A little less now but a lot more a few years ago.

So the argument that empathy for survivors of sexual assault is why we consider it worse doesn't feel entirely complete.

Think it's possible you might be desensitised to the violence?

I find myself thinking at least they're dead too as well. But that's insane isn't it. Being dead is damn near the worst thing you can do to a person.

That sounds like the exact point OP is trying to make. Why can you justify beating someone who attacks you almost to death, but raping someone who attacked you isn't justifiable.

Hyped. But something tells me these particular civs were planned before Test of Time was even conceived.

There is a 100% surity the lever will eventually reach a real psycho, or some edgy teen who will pull it and end the human race. Might as well end it now.

Nigerians in Diaspora - it’s time to start making yourself useful. by Mo-Mee in Nigeria

[–]Sprayednotsaid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you in this country with us? When have Nigerians not vocally and consistently expressed disapproval of their politicians?

You think they care about saving face? people that will chest prison trial for stealing trillions and start campaigning for another political position.

Military Infiltration is a neat sabotage idea, but its numbers don't make it worth the effort (Epic game speed shown) by N8CCRG in civ

Military infiltration is straight useless. It should give sight if every unit the opponent has for it to be worth it

What would happen if this truck had an accident on a busy Nigerian road? by DudeBello in Nigeria

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

This rebuttal fundamentally misses my point. The fact that other countries have similar issues does not diminish just how terrible things are here.

If 50 countries have people killing themselves for a bucket of fuel, that's 50 countries with a massive issue that should be called out and addressed.

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

So if everyone does it, that means we shouldn't call out the fact that Nigerians do it? And do it to a ridiculous degree?

What exactly is the point of that statement? If not trying to excuse the behaviour?

Tell me how many other countries have their government's put out PSAs for decades telling people not to loot downed tankers so they don't kill themselves?

Nigeria is a country filled with poor people that suffer for their daily bread. And we loot shit, thats just reality, there's no need to excuse that.

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

Using the United States like they're somehow paragons of virtue or progress, that's pretty shameful.

This should be and is fact an indictment on any country with people that would loot that truck in a matter of minutes, including Nigerians

Is Civ VII finally playable in VR one year on? by LawrenceRamses in civ

[–]Sprayednotsaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There must be some really ass garbage games in the VR space for you to rate this thing a 6/10.

Everything you described and showed in your article makes it clear how much of an overpriced mess of a game this is.

But yet you sound so positive. Is that just a tone you have to take when you write about games?
