@NuclearDonut6 @nicksortor @krassenstein You're saying that the left are so mentally lacking that they shouldn't be held accountable for political violence. That's quite the position.

AMAZING NEWS!!
Minnesota has JUST charged white supremacist Jake Lang with 2 FELONY HATE CRIMES (5+ years in prison) for knocking over this ice sculpture.
Trump can’t pardon him from these crimes.

@ResoluteNut @Haalandinho10 How does it change less? It changes who is the voter putting anyone in danger. It changes everything. It reverses things entirely.
English
@GrumpyCatterman @Haalandinho10 He literally said himself, that it is a reframing, the difference is, his changes less about the original dilemma than your version and makes more sense as an allegory in general. Your version is built mostly just on discrediting the opposing side, not good faith or even logic.

Blue button: "I'm going to jump off this roof and if over half the building don't jump out of their windows to help save me then you're killing me."
Red button: "I'm taking the stairs down."
Idiots "You killed him!"

Has anything done more damage to gaming journalism than this?

No we just want a normal ass action game with a likeable character who doesn’t go through hell just to get cucked, gaslit, and humiliated after defeating a fucking god!
It has nothing to do with sexual orientation and race and everything to do that the story deliberately shits on men and the player themselves.

The "significant backlash" that Saros is getting (we'll see if it's actually significant when we get sales numbers) is making me think. A lot of the anti-woke crowd doesn’t actually hate politics in games. They hate not being the default anymore. For years games catered almost entirely to guys, so a certain slice of players got used to every protagonist looking like them and every story orbiting their comfort zone. Now when a game shifts even a little away from that, they act like the medium has been taken over instead of just growing. What they want is sameness dressed up as purity. They want every game to feel like the ones they grew up with, so they never have to think about who else plays games. It is not about loving games as an art form. It is about wanting the industry to freeze in place, so they never lose their spot at the center. This doesn't go for EVERYONE that might align with that crowd though. There are some valid arguments to be made about shoving stupid shit into games just for representation, but I think most of these dudes are too dumb to think that deep.

@Ace_XIII_ @camharless @BobMurphyEcon In an honest reframing red is voting not to flood things at all or stand in a place where they would get hurt. And blue is voting to give life jackets to everyone who stands in the river bed that's about to flood.
English
@GrumpyCatterman @camharless @BobMurphyEcon Then it can easily be like this as well but 1 booth & no communication. 50% blue no ones gets flooded. Everyone lives. 51% or more red, a range of people die.
The issue is the known. You’re not supposed to know who picks what & you’re supposed to choose an action not stay still

@Ace_XIII_ @camharless @BobMurphyEcon No. You complain about reframing and then do a complete reversal. Nobody is put in any danger at all unless they pick blue.

@aaronpaul64 If he had to clarify, then it wasn't part of the original. You get that right?
English
@GrumpyCatterman It did. He clarified it. Everyone means everyone
English
@teameffujoe Also, did you delete your video about this because you realized you were full of crap? Or because everyone else saw through the lie?
English
Hey guys, if you didn’t see the movie, and your only opinion of it is based on what your favorite podcaster told you, maybe don’t tell someone who actually saw it what they have to think about it.

@teameffujoe You're a sellout. You're a phoney. A right wing grifter who will say anything for money. Why would anyone take a paid shill's testimony?
English
@teameffujoe How much did they pay you to betray your principles? You're a pig telling us that some animals are more equal than others.

Watching the right lose their minds because someone dared to also criticize the bullshit crony capitalism we deal with today is wild. #AnimalFarmPartner

@aaronpaul64 The original hypothetical didn't include children, people in comas, or the mentally disabled. Of course if you add a bunch of stuff to a hypothetical it changes things.
English
@Ace_XIII_ @camharless @BobMurphyEcon How do you figure? That's exactly how people not acting on emotion see it. One option is everyone lives, and the other is everyone lives if enough people put themselves in danger. As long as no one puts themselves in danger, there is no need to save anyone.
English
@camharless @GrumpyCatterman @BobMurphyEcon Yeah this is a horrible example that changes the framing too much and creates a visual distraction that obviously changes the outcome. What we see is just as important in affecting the choices we make.
English
@JohnAstrom1 @Soubifloof Their power requires a bad guy to resent. It used to be the rich, but communism in practice was a disaster. They took all the tactics and switched to identity. They get a bunch of influence and power by claiming one set of identities holds everyone else down.
English
@JohnAstrom1 @Soubifloof That is a valid argument but only assuming they are arguing in good faith. The Marxist thought leaders know all of this stuff is bunk. But they need a bad guy to have a revolution against. Economic class didn't work so they switched to identity politics and critical theory.
English
This is modern racism. Straight white male characters aren't allowed to exist because of a supposed excess of them in a majority white country 30 years ago. Where, besides majority white countries, is this hatred the norm? Do they hate a character for being Chinese in China?
ScreenRant@screenrant
Robert Kirkman never loved that most characters in #Invincible were a bunch of white guys, so he pushed Prime Video to retcon the diversity issue. "Every time we introduce another character [in the comics], ‘Oh look! It’s another white male! Who knew?’" screenrant.com/invincible-pri…
English
@JohnAstrom1 @Soubifloof It is a weird Motte and Bailey. They openly state whiteness is the BBEG that must be eradicated. "Kill them all".
When normal white people protest they claim that "whiteness" isn't a group, but a social construct. So, it's ok for them to hate based on skin color.
English
@Soubifloof @GrumpyCatterman I'm just wondering how the fuck they argued that white people don't exist? That's just... what?
English
@BrianNiemeier I like the way it looks for the most part, but yeah the excitement is all gone.

We wanted them to polish an unfinished game.
Instead they made an entirely different one.
