My point is, they're all just Mary Whitehouse

She was the plaintiff in a charge of blasphemous libel against Gay News (Whitehouse v Lemon), a trial at the Old Bailey between 4 and 7 July 1977. It was the first prosecution for the offence since 1922. "I simply had to protect Our Lord", said Whitehouse at the time

At issue was whether or not the offence of blasphemous libel required specific intent of committing such a blasphemy. By a majority of 3 to 2, the Lords concluded that intention was not required. Lord Scarman was of the opinion that blasphemy laws should cover all religions and not just Christianity and sought strict liability for those who "cause grave offence to the religious feelings of some of their fellow citizens or are such as to tend to deprave and corrupt persons who are likely to read them"

...

The European Commission of Human Rights declared the case inadmissible to be heard by the European Court of Human Rights on 7 May 1982.

If only those hard-right New Labour fucks hadn't repealed this we could be protecting people from Inherent Disregard!

He describes the beliefs she reveals in her book, Whatever Happened to Sex?, as "nonsense", such as her assertion that "homosexuality was caused by abnormal parental sex 'during pregnancy or just after'"

I’m sick and tired of games media (and sadly you see it a lot on era also) taking representation to only mean black/dark skinned representation and fuck everyone else. This kind of reverse colourism fucking sucks and you see see it time and time again.

There are no brown people in XVI, really? As a brown mfer there sure seemed to be people who looked like me in the game but apparently we don’t count and aren’t PoC. We can demand better without shitting on other PoC or making other groups feel like they do not matter.

In the UK, the Dhalmakians would in no way be considered white.

There's an incredibly condescending thing Americans do where they project the American experience of racism out onto the rest of the world, and thereby erase other forms of racial distinction that exist. Dhalmakia is clearly MENA - Middle East and North Africa - and the fact you can't identify them as people of colour is frankly bizarre. You don't have to give anyone the benefit of the doubt to see that MENA is not Europe.

These threads devolve into the same posts every time where a bunch of non Japanese devs tell Japanese devs they shouldn’t feel offended.

I mean both the devs and the people in this thread who don't like the term seem to not understand how it is used by fans of the games, so it seems like informing them that people don't use it derogatory is more usefull than removing a benign term because if a misunderstanding.

[Besticus Maximus]

To justify them dismissing brown people as PoC, accused them for historically being part of the white supremacist power structure:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/edge-387-ff16-oxenfree-2-aliens-and-more.741618/page-3#post-108893640

The transatlantic slave trade, the colonization of the Americas, and the idea of whiteness originated with Mediterranean people who legally and morally differentiated themselves from the Black people they enslaved.

It was well defined before the British showed up. Well defined literally centuries before the US was founded. It always included the Spanish, the Portugese, and the people of the Ottoman empire, which stretched from Austria over to the caucasus, down through Greece, Turkey, the middle east, and back across north Africa.

It's never been a reference to literal skin color. It's not like Norwegians came up with this shit. That's not who needed to differentiate between the free and the enslaved. The people who came up with the categories of white and Black had skin that was all sorts of tan and brown and olive. Again, whiteness is not, and has never been, about literal skin color.

Race as we understand it today wasn't even invented as a concept until the end of the 18th century. None of the people he calls "the Spanish" would have recognized themselves as "Spanish" let alone "white" and thus having something inherently in common (lacking souls) with all the other yts in the highly racially diverse area of Europe. He's projecting modern understandings backwards through time before they were conceived to explain how everyone back then acted and thought.

I've mentioned this before, slavery did not have a racial component anywhere but the Americas. The Europeans of the time didn't understand the American justifications even if they were also white supremacists and all of them had all the ethnic-based hatreds they maintain to this day.

Great post that outlines the problem well.

North American slavery is the last 5 minutes of tens, if not hundreds of thousands of years of history and pre-history, and it is a basket case and unrepresentative of things in the wider world.

I wonder what they'd make of the Arab slave trade but I can probably guess that they'll say it was all roses and sunshine and not as bad as the crackers

Gacha games with the first lootbox like systems were created overseas, in Japan and China to be specific. What's a xenophobic generalization about that?

Valve and EA then made the systems popular in the west.

They don't know anything about history. Their entire concept of "colonization" is similarly backwards projected. They have all but said they think there was some period in which Wakanda was real. Tons of their anger is directed at the idea that there was some perfect time in history, with the races all peacefully segregated to the lands where they first appeared and not culturally appropriating, and then the hubris of the whites caused all of us to be cast out of Eden. And until the chuds atone for what they've done the rest of us will be denied re-entry. But if we just defend important totems like Disney products hard enough our faith might be rewarded and everyone's souls might be saved. Our enemies can either convert or fuck around and find out.

Considering how dumb top-tiers like Ken, Cammy, and Juri can be and they're all allowed to have an invincible reversal special, it didn't make all that much sense for them to conclude that Kim was the only rushdown character who didn't need one.

I want to say it but I'm not gonna say it.

It's possible that I'm thinking the same, yet will also not say it.

"Capcom nerfed Kimberly because she's black."    

Maybe they nerfed Kim because she has endless high speed mixups in addition to having a way to get people off of her, which can not be said about Ken/Cammy/Juri.

I'm confused by the fact that people exist who think that at 17/18 this person was incapable of making their own decisions about a relationship with a presenter, yet at 15 Shamima Begum knew exactly what she was doing joining Isis. Anyone holding these two beliefs needs to take a good long look at themselves and decide whether it's the homophobia or the racism that drives them hardest...

depicting bestiality is actually ok because it's not a widespread problem 

let's get a game with some necrophilia next, that's even less prevalent

It changes the situation quite a bit, because it changes the situation from one where harm is being done to one where no harm is being done. Relying on a strict literal line of thought where "bestiality = sex with something in the form of an animal = bad" is missing the point of why it's bad. If something has the sapience to allow for consent, it's not a beast, it's a person and should be afforded the rights that come with personhood.

And frankly, if someone got your consent to have sex with your corpse once you died, I'd think it was gross in the same way I think scat is gross, but I also couldn't really care less. Nothing is being harmed outside of the person's hygiene. It's just not my business and doesn't need to be. It would still be illegal because it's necrophilia, as you say, but legality doesn't always align with right and wrong and in this particular case a blanket ban is necessary just because of how easy it would be for people to lie about getting permission.

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/13/disney-cuts-back-on-marvel-star-wars-content.html

Disney cutting back on Star Wars and Marvel content.

Has anyone heard from ZeroVag and FJ08334564560984? Are they already coimmtting sudoku in another version of the multiverse?

Disney is slowing down when it comes to making movies and TV series for its Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm franchises, CEO Bob Iger said Thursday on CNBC.

The move comes as the company is looking to cut costs during a time when its recent films, from Marvel to animation, have underwhelmed at the box office.

“You pull back not just to focus, but also as part of our cost containment initiative. Spending less on what we make, and making less,” Iger said Thursday.

Earlier this year, Disney rolled out a broad reorganization of the business that included $5.5 billion in cutting costs, of which $3 billion would be slashed from content excluding sports.

Iger said Thursday that a lot of decisions were made to prop up the company’s flagship streaming service, Disney+, and beckon more customers.

While also noting that Disney had some Pixar animation misses in recent months, he called out Marvel as being a particular example of the company’s “zeal” to pump up its original content on streaming.

“Marvel is a great example of that. It had not been in the television business at any significant level, and not only did they increase their movie output, but they ended up making a number of TV series,” said Iger. “Frankly, it diluted focus and attention.”

Disney acquired Marvel for more than $4 billion in 2009, and the franchise has since grossed billions of dollars at the global box office for the company.

For Disney, and most of its streaming competitors, original content has lived solely on its flagship streaming services rather than being licensed to other platforms – a revenue driver that has stood up the traditional TV and movie business for sometime.

On Thursday, Iger said it was possible the company would license Disney content to other streaming platforms.

“It’s a possibility. I won’t rule it out,” Iger said. He added that licensing had been part of a collection of models that formed the traditional TV business, and holding back content for their own platform in the early days of streaming was the right move.

Recently, Warner Bros. Discovery has reportedly been in talks about licensing HBO content to other platforms, including Netflix. The company also has removed content from its Max service and licensed it to free, ad-supported streaming platforms such as Fox Corp.’s Tubi.

Disney has also followed suit in taking down content from its streaming platform.

Sounds like Disney+ is in a death spiral.

If that's really the case despite having like a hundred games available already and an extremely strong games release month with June, then you simply don't deserve it and should sell it to someone who really wants it, yes.


This mindset of "No Sony game = no games at all) is really annoying when it comes to this headset.

And I was expecting them to drop it like a rock and never look back, that price point is too steep for casuals

[Nintex]

Cutting back on Star Wars/Marvel stuff is such a braindead move considering most subscriptions are probably just for Star Wars/Marvel stuff. 
Disney hasn't really made anything new that resonates with the audience. 

Maybe more episodes of this?

Rennervations is an America documentary series for Disney+. Each episode explores Jeremy Renner going back to his hometown of Reno, Nevada as well as three other cities — Chicago, Illinois, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and Rajasthan, India — where the construction veteran works with his team of expert builders on identifying decommissioned vehicles that can be rebuilt to serve a new purpose. It premiered on April 12, 2023.
