Resident Evil 4 advertisement (2005)

Colonialism is so crazy. You kill, rape and take these people’s land and use it for your own pleasure and have the nerve to demonize them for existing in their own homes. pure evil

I understand many ppl don't give a rats ass but l'm going to die at this rate. No inhaler, abscess has swollen my face, police keep harassing me. This won't end well

No this is actually a very good point. Many of y'all would be surprised but a MASSIVE chunk of Antis are in their 25-30s. Why? For the exact reason OP stated, they're reliving their HS fantasy of being the popular cool bully. So for younger Antis, they see the 'trusted adult'.

one time i went to the ER for an ovarian cyst that ruptured and the doctor wouldn’t give me an ultrasound bc he said “it’s too much radiation for your young uterus” and i said “ultrasounds don’t use radiation” he just.. walked away and didn’t come back until i called my mom

Y’ALL. This is not a drill. The Wayback Machine is often the only source of webpages that have been scrubbed from the Internet.

yeah the average gamer just doesn't know how to talk about video games compared to how they talk about literally any other medium. this has been a problem for years. from the opening passage of "Introduction to Game Analysis" by Clara Fernández-Vara:

Caraca, se eu não tivesse lascado de boleto, certeza que comprava um desses! cr: rotten_pastry

but there’s definitely no issue with patriarchy and rape culture and gendered violence on the left guys

She was supposed to attend a Daniel Craig film premiere in London that weekend. Instead, she was in a Belfast hospital with 39 separate injuries. She was 29 years old. Winnie M Li was a Harvard graduate and a George Mitchell Scholar who had co-produced a short film shortlisted for an Oscar. She flew to Belfast for a conference. The day before she was supposed to fly home, she decided to squeeze in a solo hike through a forest park on the western edge of the city. A 15-year-old boy followed her in and raped her in broad daylight. She later said she went from being a confident woman to a ghost, with PTSD and depression so severe she had to give up her film career. Her attacker was sentenced to 8 years. He was out in 4. Hiking had been one of her great joys before the attack. It took years before she could do it alone again. In 2009, she forced herself to backpack through Southeast Asia for three months, trying to find the person she used to be. Five and a half years after the assault, she sat down and started writing about what happened to her. Her novel Dark Chapter, built from her own experience, won a major literary prize. Her second novel was fought over by five US publishers and picked by The New York Times for their book club. She co-founded a festival in London dedicated to conversations about sexual violence, and earned a PhD from the London School of Economics studying how survivors use their voices to reclaim their stories. And every year, on the exact anniversary of the worst day of her life, she goes on a solo hike. In her own words: to remind herself that beauty still exists, and she can enjoy it. This year was year 18. She walked the Southwest Coast Path along England's coastline, and the photos show her smiling on a cliff in Cornwall. After 17 years of doing this, she said the nausea and anxiety on the anniversary are finally gone. That took 17 years, but she got there. I have nothing to add to her story except this. If you are in the middle of your own recovery and it feels like it will never end, her 18 years of annual walks say otherwise.

the whitening of brooklyn is so rapid and horrifying. so curious if there will be a soul summit this year after cops were called last year. public service is in a few weeks. 🤔

Everyone here knows me; I work repairing medical equipment, but I also support 13 people—my family. Unfortunately, my family hasn't received any support in the last two days. I want to know if you still care about us, because after a long day, sometimes up to 10 hours, repairing medical equipment, I try to meet my family's needs. chuffed.org/project/173965…

What makes Resident Evil 4 timeless in terms of its game design is that so much of its design reverberates throughout the industry today while still being just as good if not better than what it would directly inspire. It’s a monolith of the artform.

This is the correct view to hold on China

when I was a kid we learned that the holocaust had 12 million victims. somewhere along the way they excluded non-jews from the numbers and now say it's 6 million, apparently to make it seem like the holocaust was exclusively aimed at jews. zionist holocaust denial lol

Just heard a Japanese mangaka got bullied into deactivating… again over fiction. This isn't even new anymore and that's sad. It's been a pattern that fandom cops usually target artists who barely speak english so they can't defend themselves. It's actually disgusting.

The Phoenix Program deserves its own reckoning. Because it is not taught in American schools. Because it does not appear in most American War movies. Because the people who ran it went on to long, decorated careers in intelligence and government and were never once called to account for what they did. Phoenix was a CIA program. Officially called Civil Operations and Revolutionary Development Support. Its goal was to identify and eliminate the Viet Cong infrastructure, meaning anyone suspected of supporting or sympathizing with the National Liberation Front. Between 1965 and 1972, it reportedly killed between 20,000 and 40,000 Vietnamese civilians. Tortured tens of thousands more. In interrogation centers built by American money, staffed by American-trained personnel, overseen by American advisors. The methods were not subtle. Electric shock. Waterboarding. Rape. Mutilation. The tiger cages of Con Son Island, cramped stone boxes where prisoners were kept folded for weeks, were built with American funding and American approval. A CIA officer who ran the program, William Colby, later became Director of the CIA. He testified before Congress about Phoenix. He was never charged. He wrote a book. He became a respected member of the foreign policy establishment. And now his grandson, Elbridge Colby, sits at the center of U.S. defense policy. This is not ancient history. The logic of Phoenix, identify, isolate, eliminate civilian support networks, was used in Iraq. In Afghanistan. In other places whose names we don't know yet. The institution that built Phoenix still exists. The men it trained trained other men. The program ends. The program never ends. Vietnam showed it could be resisted. Vietnam showed it could be survived. Vietnam is still here.

All this is resurfacing as they plan another Global Sumud Flotilla. With all due respect they should be addressing these allegations, but we know rape culture is so dyed into the wool of our society people would be willing to overlook it. No! Make noise about it.
