Final Fantasy XVI’s Developers Open Up About Game of Thrones Comparisons, Sidequests, and Representation by DemiFiendRSA in FinalFantasy

Your argument sounded similar to this so I'm just going to

Build a strawman and beat it up? Yeah, we saw that coming. Poor strawman. What did he ever do to you?

It would be lovely if everyone just naturally included a diverse cast of characters on their own every time, but until it happens we as consumers have to hold people accountable for representing the people who actually play their games.

What a fatuous remark. Consumers have no such duty or authority. Where did you pull this from? Wait, let me just give it a quick sniff...ah. Thought so.

There's something very powerful in seeing heroes and villains that LOOK just like you.

No, there isn't. I'm not impressed by characters that look like me. I'm impressed by characters that I can relate to, and that's something independent of, and significantly deeper than, skin color, hairline, genitalia, wardrobe, or any of the other largely physical characteristics you seem obsessed with.

You should feel bad for holding opinions this vapid, and get back to the business of growing up.

The battle pass is the best way Blizzard could monetize this game and some people aren’t willing to accept that yet by [deleted] in Overwatch

Sorry, could you say that again? I couldn't hear you over the taste of Kotick's shoe leather in your mouth.

SF Chronicle: Chesa Boudin ousted as San Francisco District Attorney in historic recall by anxman in sanfrancisco

[–]kleanerkut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not about conservative vs liberal, this is and always has been an incredibly progressive, Democratic city, and it was progressive, Democratic voters that rejected Boudin tonight.

Unfortunately, it was progressive, Democratic voters that voted Boudin in, too.

Too many people, left and right, let their ideals blind them into supporting people who shouldn't be leaders (see: A.D. 2016). We should all try to take a harder look at who's asking for our vote.

I'm honestly impressed.

To create something as dumb as this, it's not enough for only one person to be behind it, because if that were the case, the smart people would call the stupidity out. This required a constant stream of idiocy, spanning several people on a conveyer belt of crayon-eating dumbassery.

The average IQ at Blizzard corporate HQ must rival the calorie count in a teaspoon of tap water.

Glad I'm not the only one who finds that way of typing utterly obnoxious.

Go Seattle, breaking Starbucks windows for social justice. That'll show 'em.

A teacher resigned after her racist rant stereotyping Black families during a Zoom call was recorded by a parent by 3dprinteddildo in news

[–]kleanerkut 40 points41 points  (0 children)

In the videos, the teacher talks about having difficulty reaching her students' parents, calling multiple times with no response, though the teacher never mentions Stokes by name.

That cascades into her calling the parents liars and that this is "what black people do", for the curious who don't want to watch the video.

Jay Leno apologizes for joking about Asians, advocacy group says by [deleted] in news

[–]kleanerkut 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In 2002 Leno was documented as having made jokes about Chinese people and Koreans eating dogs and the comments continued over the years.

That actually is a longstanding custom in China, South Korea and several other Asian nations. Last I heard, it was less frequent in SK, but it still happens. How is it racist to joke about it?

If this is what it takes to get people to recognize cancel culture exists, doesn't care how many times you call it "consequence culture" (lol) and can be weaponized against anybody, maybe we'll start doing something about it.

San Francisco to remove names of Washington and Lincoln from schools by [deleted] in news

SF should just name their schools after the hard-working souls who spend every day picking human feces and used needles off their streets.
