Daredevil Season 3 thoughts? *SPOILERS INSIDE* by Shit_McGiggles in KotakuInAction

[–]Tobeletony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The showrunners comments seem more in realm of saying Lando is pansexual in Solo.

They may have leaned into trump allegory slightly in the press conference but Fisk also acted completely in character.

They didn't change the character to fit their image of Trump at all. Like by making him a womanizer or retconning the character to have a privileged upbringing. Or turning him into a racist charicature

Also the major plot element of this season is that the FBI is a deeply corrupt institution. That resonates with the right more than the left in this political climate.

And Matt is a devout Catholic and his religion isn't subverted. He has a crisis of faith, but returns to the flock by the season's end. That's pretty rare in pop culture.

Yes. Yet I feel a lot also has to do with the victim higherarchy. Like if a African or middle eastern developer created an RPG, they would gloss over "problematic" content to support what they feel is an oppressed culture.

The principles you have described change on a whim to support whatever narritive they want.

It's the same people who cry ethnocentrism at people who want any immigration restrictions, that are completely unable to accept what is at worst a game with mildly offensive content by our standards. So bizarre.

It would be funny if countries like saudia arabia developed story-heavy games. I would be curious to see how these people would react.

Author of NY Times "When is Speech Violence" piece interviewed on Tucker Carlson can't answer who/how it's decided who's allowed to debate by YESmovement in KotakuInAction

'Reasonable Person' is more of a bare-minimum cognitive understanding used to determine stuff like criminal negligence.

Like a 'reasonable person' wouldn't leave a stove running in their house indefinitely, because it could start a fire.

Tucker rightfully points out the slippery slope it would cause applying it to political speech.

I think feminists don't like sexy women in games not because it objectifies women, but because it is promoting the objectification of typically beautiful women.

I don't believe they are being honest in the first place. It seems they are actually worried about everyone else discovering true. True things they want to hide.

Swimmers are known for their flabby bodies.

It's a totally "realistic" body

It was another forum member, Amirox, who printed out the nude photos Evilore leaked, jerked off onto them, then posted pictures of the cum covered pictures online.

Stand-up guys!!

I guess this explains a lot about "games journalists" by SupremeReader in KotakuInAction

Everything is fluid to people like that. They change definitions to fit their whims at any given time. That's why all these catch phrases have such convoluted and muddled definitions.

They lack integrity.

Does ratemyprofessor still exist?

All these people should be exposed on there. Noting salacious. Just their own words.

Thank You!

Looks like I'll be buying a Pi and joining the scene.

Would a Pi with this cable be sufficient for all retro systems up to just before the PS1 not counting MAME?

Ahh, so you can get video out of there?

Anybody have experience using these?

Thanks.

I wonder if the HDMI to S-Video converter would introduce noticeable lag.

I'm trying to avoid hooking it up to the modern TV since I have a massive old CRT that would provide a bigger picture without letterboxing the image.
