    In your opinion, if anyone around the world wants to take their revenge on the assassination of Soleimani and intends to do it proportionately in the way they suggest — that we take one of theirs now that they've got one of ours — who should we consider to take out in the context of America?

    Think about it. Are we supposed to take out Harry Potter and SpongeBob? They don't have any heroes. We have a country in front of us with a large population and a large landmass, but it doesn't have any heroes. All of their heroes are cartoon characters — they're all fictional.

    Ya know what school would make for a way cooler setting for an open world game than Hogwarts?

    Xavier' School for Gifted Youngsters

    Yeah, X-Men can have some lib politics too but it's never as bad as Harry Potter, the world building is way cooler and if there were enough options for customizing your character and their mutation it would have infinitely more replayability while actually making your character feel different from everyone else's

        You just have to make up a character that can have multiple powers or one power flexible enough to do multiple things. Lot's of ways to implement it. Telekinesis, matter generation, super strength, forcefield generation, shapeshifting, etc. are all things that can be easily translated to different movesets.

      Make a fuckin Percy Jackson game. It's got way better worldbuilding (mostly because it's just Greek myths) and the author actively helps trans people and includes trans characters in his stories

    Devs going through crunch and work place abuse:edgeworth-shrug:

    People deciding not to buy a game because its politics suck and possibly "hurting" the devs:edgeworth-pissed:

    love when someone uses 'unbalanced' as a descriptor of people, it immediately tells you so much about the kind of person they are lmfao

      hmmm calling people 'mentally ill' is considered uncouth, a faux pas - perhaps if i call them 'unbalanced' no one will be the wiser

        Under some schools of thought (I'm no neuroscientist nor psychologist), emotional disorders may be caused by an imbalance of chemical or electrical signals in the brain. This person in OP's screenshot is saying the only reason people might protest the antisemitic terflord game is because their brains don't work "correctly."

    not like the boycott was ever going to do anything anyway.

    hopefully more people know rowling sucks now but i dropped some acquaintances over this because they're not worth my effort explaining the problem.

      There was never a boycott. This is a word the right assigned to the whole thing rather than something anyone really tried to push.

      All GCJ did was ban people and throw abuse at anyone saying they would buy it. Hardly a boycott, more of a "fuck off libs". It was the right that slapped this boycott word on it to spin their own stories.

        people saying "don't buy thing because ideological reason" sure sounds like a boycott to me :shrug-outta-hecks:

        obviously it wasn't organized or backing the labor activism of gamestop employees refusing to stock the shelves, but then again gamer boycotts never are

    Describing it as legally binding is such a weird, stupid way to view it. Like what law is being legally enforced here? Just the contract/IP law the studio willfully took? There are better excuses than "legally binding."
