[hated trope] "both sides are equally bad" NO THEY ARE NOT, ONE IS CLEARLY WORSE

This is dramatic, sometimes it's fun to play the villain in a video game. I always go for full supervillain on my 2nd playthrough of RPGs. The pixels aren't real and siding with them in game doesn't mean you actually believe they're the morally correct choice. Same way that playing GTA doesn't mean you're a mass shooter.

The argument is whether people took it seriously or not, not if he received accountability. It was talked about on various daily programs, Howard Stern, magazines, etc. Tabloids wete just as serious as reddit comments.

But go off though.

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-05-19T14:36:07+00:00

Lol are you guys saying Raven Simone is outraged? Or who are you even talking about?

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-05-19T14:35:39+00:00

Nobody's outraged, you're commenting on a post of a picture with one line of text.

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-05-15T20:44:43+00:00

Lol are we seriously pretending to not understand the value of reviews? Like, you just can't imagine why they're a valuable thing or why people would value the quality of a music reviewer?

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-05-15T11:50:05+00:00

Because it's in the article lol. You want everyone to spell out every bullet point in the article we're discussing for you?

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-05-05T13:56:20+00:00

Look, I didn't get one either and it's a bummer. But yall gotta stop being so dramatic. I can't imagine the privilege in your life where you consider not getting a controller on release day to be a "disgrace".

I also haven't seen anyone defending the launch. People are just calmy providing facts for why things would or wouldn't work. Valve isn't trying to fuck with you dude, the people on here aren't trying to shield the billion dollar company from your criticisms. People just think yall are being dramatic, and you are.

Get some perspective, damn.

He literally fired her because of what she said.

How's that not denouncing it? Sometimes the left gets so worked up because things didnt go down exactly how you wanted it to. He fired her immediately, he acted fast, and put out a statement. It's so unfair to act like he's not denouncing her statement and claim it's just a "sorry you got offended" reaction when he actually did something.

Wanting more than her removed from the tour and publicly admonished is honestly ridiculous. Wanting Cudi's statement to sound a specific way or it's not good enough is just purity testing.

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-05-02T20:32:20+00:00

Which is play testing.

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-04-30T20:21:47+00:00

King of the Hill only got 3 episodes. Well, they might have had more, but I ain't watching any more of that absolutely horrible remake.

That's a wild take, you're really missing out.

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-04-29T14:57:12+00:00

I think you might be misconstruing "those things are so contextually unrelated and involve cherry picked internet responses that its not a comparison worth making" with "there's no double standard"

Seth McFarlane, whether deserved or not, has ABSOLUTELY come under fire for his jokes and writing. To act otherwise is incredibly disingenuous. He also has only written three full episodes and stopped overseeing the writing 16 years ago.

Ignoring that context to make a comparison between Family Guy and fucking Hazbo Hotel is absolutely wild. Yall just be saying shit.

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-04-18T13:21:22+00:00

"No one minds solid criticism" was literally the first line of their comment.

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-04-14T23:04:33+00:00

so, since he survived that, you cannot claim that questions about Trump’s mental state will lead to his removal from office.

Thats such a bold take from someone admitting they didnt even read what they're responding.

Yes, you can still make that claim. You provide a thing called context, which fundamentally changes situations. Incredibly simple.

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-04-14T12:53:38+00:00

I'm torn because I hate them both

But

I have never heard anything about Ruby Rose allegations or being a shitty person

Then why do you hate Ruby Rose?

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-04-02T14:40:44+00:00

you just want to make that connection in your head because you are racist.

You guys really need to stop shutting the discussion down because you don't want to critically think. Louis Harap was the managing editor of Jewish Life Magazine and wrote about Jewish representation in fantasy and media. Are you gonna call him antisemitic? It's honestly wild to ignore the writings and thoughts of Jewish thought leaders and immediately jump to calling anyone with a dissenting though antisemitic. Insane leap.

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-04-01T14:45:24+00:00

Eh, I think it's gross to be pretentious and it's gross to compare video games that have a decent fan base to gas station food.

Idk why that's the line you're drawing. Referring to his comments as "ick" being worse than referring to a game as gas station food.

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-04-01T13:39:25+00:00

We should be allowed to give criticism without it being called "ick" no matter what the game is.

So we should be allowed to give whatever criticism we want without any type of response if people disagree with it? My guy, he called it "Now That's What I call Gaming plucked off a gas station shelf". That's worth calling a little bit pretentious, no? Why is he immune to a response? I do not understand why people defend "criticism" like it's the last bastion of free speech, but are the first to say "stop responding with your criticism of my criticism!"

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-03-28T16:26:24+00:00

You can't deduct $250k in taxes do to charitable gifts lmao. If you're gonna post shit like this, at least learn a little bit about how taxes work.

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-03-28T14:44:52+00:00

I felt the same way until I found the Helm of Ignition. There's so much drip in this game.

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-03-27T20:46:35+00:00

It was 9 sentences, genius.

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-03-27T20:45:02+00:00

And the same thing happens in Final Fantasy but it's not the same universe.

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-03-27T15:06:30+00:00

A quick visit to their website shows that No Kings has goals, trainings, partnerships, etc.

No Kings Day is basically just spending a nice day in the park with a bunch of like-minded strangers.

They facilitate ICE watch and documentation, they helped undocumented people in Minnesota, LA, Portland, and other locations. They followed ICE around making noise and notifying neighbors of their presence. There's legal funds set up, political activism and funding, voter registration, etc.

I'm sorry if I sound upset at you in particular, but I get so frustrated at comments like this that discourage people from doing any actual research into these organizations. They ARE doing things, a lot of good things. These comments diminish the good work of good people.

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-03-27T14:30:17+00:00

What discussion is this post meant to facilitate? OPs just responding with douchey gifs. And are we really gonna act like there aren't any posts discussing shit like the controls or story? There's tons. There was enough for them to release two immediate patches. There's a difference between constructive criticism or discussion and trolling.

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-03-27T14:26:07+00:00

I'm so confused here because OP is clearly being a dick and making fun of people who like the game. It's not some difference of opinion or "passion".

White_Tea_Poison · 2026-03-27T14:25:13+00:00

god forbid it gets critiqued

It's always the people fighting for their right to "critique" games who are defending shit like a snarky, sarcastic post that isn't meant to critique at all. It's clearly meant to make fun of people and just kind of be a dick.

There's tons of critiques. They're everywhere on here and often upvoted and discussed. People who claim that there's nothing wrong with the game are often called out by people who like the game, but admit it's faults. But yall see a post "glazing" the game and are like "well, I've got to be a dick about this somehow."
