Surprised they weren't upset about SNL already.
The Trump they have now is pretty damn good. Much better at winging it and far less hateful than Baldwin.
Zeo should actually be excited about Shane Gillis hosting
ZeoVGM needs to pump the breaks. This is turning into the EZA thread again.

Quote:Teacher Tiger Craven-Neeley said he supports discussing racism in the classroom, but found the Woke Kindergarten training confusing and rigid. He said he was told a primary objective was to "disrupt whiteness" in the school — and that the sessions were "not a place to express white guilt." He said he questioned a trainer who used the phrasing "so-called United States," as well as lessons available on the organization's web site offering "Lil' Comrade Convos," or positing a world without police, money or landlords.
Craven-Neeley, who is white and a self-described "gay moderate,"
Why is Era making fun of this? They say this shit all the time.

Imagine spending 70bn to concede the entire market that you spend 20 years building up
In hindsight, the business studies exam questions will be around how they managed to go so long releasing dud after dud before it got to this

It really is cat nip for them, hits all the checkmarks and then some. That's what they do tho — take one extreme story and extrapolate it to the entire left as their room temp IQ viewers lap it up.

It's pretty amazing how they killed their own platform.
- GamePass killed their physical and digital $70 game sales
- Xbox Series S killed their power advantage over the PS5
- Releasing games on PS5 will kill their console sales and fanbase
Besides, what party third party publisher would bother to release anything on Xbox or GamePass anymore.
They would most likely prefer to speed up the process of moving the Xbox owners to PS5 to sell games at $80.
I don't think Microsoft understands anything about 'gaming culture' but maybe someone at the company does and they figured these leaks and negativity could stop it.

In 2017 they ended a prison course that had been running for 25 years called "the sex offender treatment program" because it came out that prisoners who took it were statistically MORE likely to commit a sexual offense than those who had just stayed in their cells doing nothing.
I can't even imagine the degree to which this indoctrination could ruin these kids if any of it seeps in.

Every story is just ONE EXAMPLE if you divorce it from context, that's how the fascists and TERFs deny Joanne's genocide.

All of his Trump stuff is him playing a character. He's talked about it on his podcast. Guess we'll just be okay with Biden saying racist stuff in the past, though.

I also don't perceive watching or not watching a piece of media as activism. That is a personal decision each individual has to make. To frame this decision as a collective action is weirdly dogmatic… a Nigerian Pastor once told me to give up watching movies and CDs as consuming them interferes with my relationship with Jesus. No thanks. If 1 John 4:4 is correct ("…because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.") and I'm secure with my relationship, then why give them up?
If I'm secure in my political beliefs then seeing a conservative person in anything doesn't mean I need to give it up.
As far as the racist statements posted above, that's my first time seeing that. They certainly do appear to be racist.

Instead of blaming cancel culture like Rogan was trying to get him to do, he owned his mistakes and said he deserved what happened to him. He fucked up, paid a stiff price for it, apologized, owned it, and then worked his ass off on his own dime to fund new content, which apparently is very popular. I'll give his SNL appearance a shot just to see how he handles the monologue. Only thing that would stop me is if Bowen has an issue with this guy hosting. If he does, fuck it.
