Journal of Other Forum Analysis (Volume II, Issue 2)

J.K. is living in fear-based programming.

She thinks a label can remove something from her, probably because she was born and raised into a society where blood/title dictated a person's chance of survival.

Certainly it dictated respect, and the ability to be seen and heard.

She is simply (and unconsciously most likely) carrying forward the same curse that was laid upon her upon her arrival here on Earth.

Grace accepts the fact she has not yet evolved enough to get past this fear-based programming.

In fact, it's very possible, given that Ms. Rowling is actively selling a book (found it in line at my local grocery store) full of worded curses that have the intention of causing grave harm - to our children -

Ms. Rowling is using this 'issue' to avoid her own karmic debt and her own spiritual path - which seems to be on the negative spiral - downward.

You see... While J.K. has been professing to have all zee answers.... Ms. Rowling has also been working with a company WBD/HBO that has in their own right developed an entire brand around fear-based programming.  From filming in countries that imprison journalists who speak up against human trafficking - to spending loads of money in countries with more than a million indigenous slaves - WBD is FAR MORE damaging to lives - than anyone assuming the label as 'woman' who was not born to it.

(If you'd like, J.K. I can provide a written report on the number of fear-based programs you and your cohorts have sponsored... ya?)

The fact J.K. would much rather focus on the very small amount of so-called harm committed by these people

than on the very real fact that her FINANCIAL cohorts at WBD have positively flooded the world with FEAR BASED PROGRAMMING  and ACTUAL HARM

is proof enough for those of us interested in the BIG picture.

*The willingness to overlook their own part in harming and controlling others - is often punctuated by their attempts to control others.  (J.K. Rowling can't fathom a world where she is safe while others have autonomy - and honestly... that makes her both scary and pathetic.)

did you know that medical science surrounding paracetamol suddenly leapt forward rapidly as soon as trump said tylenol causes autism

a random older version of the article from last year: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Paracetamol&oldid=1256959043



The same section of the page today:



look at how backwards we all were, only a year ago, we suddenly got so big brain smart all of a sudden

then: "be cautious pregnant women, use it sparingly and in small doses just to be safe"

now: "orange man bad, chug it as much as you like, there are no bad effects"  

 

seriously how many women and their children are going to be negatively affected by this backlash making it onto trusted, reliable wikipedia, which gets cited by google and makes it into AI summaries

It took me a while before I realized Tylenol = Paracetamol

And honestly, we use that shit so much in this country that if that caused autism everyone would be autistic.
If you go to the doctor 99% of the time they tell you to take paracetamol and return in 2 weeks. 

The expats in reddit are always complaining that healthcare in this country basically boils down to: "take a paracetamol"

In my experience it works pretty well and doesn't fuck you up as much as alternatives like Ibuprofen.

I always thought RFK was kind of stuck with the crackpots because the rest of the community wouldn't let him speak because he stood up to the corporations and most scientists in general were pretty positive about his neutral stance on things. But it turns out that he truely is mental and Trump is just happy he can point to Tylenol as the cause of Barrons autism and not his "superior" genes. And I think that Melania is perhaps more on the spectrum than he is.

Probably not the best way to argue your case, Dutchie

The Hasan dog shock story is now apparently over with him showing it off to be a vibration collar. True believers accuse him of swapping the collar between yesterday and today though

[Potato]

Okay, I ask this every time we get a "If Newsom is the nominee, you MUST vote for him or be blamed for what happens" back-and-forth and never get an answer:



Which minorities are you willing to throw under the bus to get a Democrat in office? Name them, please.



And after you have named them, please say how far you personally are willing to strip their rights. Is it civil rights? Human rights? If Newsom suggests trans people can't ride the bus, would you be on board? What if he says brown people can't? I am just trying to get a sense of where the line is on voting blue no matter who.

Don't know but I definitely throw you under the bus in a heartbeat

Just as soon as he states what minorities he is willing to throw under the bus to boycott a Democrat and allow a worse republican in office? Name them, please.

And after he has named them, please state how far he is willing to put their rights in the hand of said Republican. Is it civil rights? Human rights? If JD Vance suggests trans people can't ride the bus, would you be on board if it meant boycotting Newsom? What if he says brown people can't? I am just trying to get a sense of where the line is for being leftist no matter who gets hurt.

Great argument there, Imran. Absolutely iron clad. Weren’t you a journalist? That’s supposed to be a profession requiring you to think occasionally.

Lol, reprinting press releases doesn't make you a journalist. 

[benji]

Looking into this bill that Newsom vetoed (he did, the story's update is wrong) all it says is:

SECTION 1. Section 60209 is added to the Education Code, to read:
60209. On or before July 1, 2028, the state board shall adopt instructional materials for health education for kindergarten and grades 1 to 8, inclusive, pursuant to the requirements of this article and in alignment with the health curriculum framework adopted by the state board in 2019.

You have to somehow find this fucking thing, which I did and is longer than Project 2025: https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/he/cf/documents/healthedframework2019.pdf

This is already law in California and taught to students, they apparently just don't have instructional manuals for the lower grades? I honestly don't know what the situation is if this was passed in 2019 and they don't have stuff yet.

I didn't bother to read all 734 pages, or even two pages, but I did search for "gender identity" and these are basically the only uses of it other than in great big long lists of things:

In a signing message, Newsom said he was vetoing the legislation because he thought the bill should be considered after a state study scrutinizing health curricula was completed.

If you don't think this is stripping trans people of their human rights in California then shutting the fuck up is free.

The Hasan dog shock story is now apparently over with him showing it off to be a vibration collar. True believers accuse him of swapping the collar between yesterday and today though

why wouldn't he have immediately said "she has a vibration collar"

he was addressing it practically as it happened yesterday and just decided not to mention it for 24 hours?

why didn't his throngs of rabid fans already know about this collar? he's on like 8 hours a day every day, he has to have revealed almost every detail of his personal life just from attrition

It honestly makes me wonder just how much and hard the devs of Shadow had to fight to include Yasuke. We know Ubisoft's higher up refused to allow a playable woman in the Assassin's Creed games without being chaperoned by a man (Kassandra was supposed to be the sole protag of Odyssey but the higher ups refused unless they made her brother playable because "women don't sell").

It honestly makes me wonder just how common this is becoming in the game industry again, won't be surprised if game execs start banning women from the cover of video game boxes again, we'll go fully back to 00s level objectifying game marketing (we're kind of already seeing it), shoot down ANY lead that isn't a white man etc.
God it must be fucking dire and horrible to be a creative in the AAA game industry right now. I hope something better can come, creative mediums should not be dictated and controlled by businessmen who don't give a shit about the art.

A game highlighting racism, America's racist history and rejects conservative and hateful rhetoric is exactly the type of game we need right now.

"backlash to yasuke" so fucking infuriating, AC Shadows sold well, chuds yapping about Yasuke meant nothing,still Ubi chooses to listen to them

Because their is a good chance those higher ups agreed with them anyway, they were never progressive, the creatives and actual artists who actually pushed for Yasuke sure, but these higher ups, nope, it was only ever about money and exploiting us and the artists for it. Ubisoft, Microsoft etc should NOT be trusted. This should not be forgotten and always be remembered if they try to pretend to care again.

He was! He also may have killed his brother in his late 30s, after his father died from heart failure when he was around 35.

But yea, I studied Gein during one of my psychology classes - he was beat by his dad (alchoholic) and his mom was an extreme religious zealot who believed all women were "whores".

Gein became obsessed with her due to her isolating him from having a healthy relationship with girls and women and his dad beating him and his brother. Also, from memory, he wasn't allowed any external friends, even if they were boys his age.

He was very much a product of his parents.

He who has abusive parents will make lampshades of flesh. Hey, don't get mad at me, those are just the rules!

Great discourse:

Pathetic fucking cowards

babies.

Cowards!

cowards

They're not even fucking American!
Complete cowardice out of Ubisoft

Cowards.

Fucking cowards

Cowards

What else is there to say that hasn't been said? Coward ass move

Cowards

Absolute cowards.

Cowards.

Coward losers

Cowards.

I hope these great developers manage to unshackle themselves from the grips of Cowardsoft and form their own AAA studio to make games like this.

Fucking cowards.

Awful and cowardly.

Fucking cowards. That's exactly the game we need right now.

Cowards, but that's no surprise.

Fucking Cowards

"Here's this super cool thing that you'd really like but guess what, you can't have it because the world is shit and we're cowards"

Fucking cowards.

Weakass cowards

the age of corporate capitulation continues

Absolute fuckin cowards saving conservative fucks feelings over their failed civil war and treason.

They're fucking cowards for backing away from this due to the subject matter. Fuck Ubisoft.

Pieces of shit. Weak

cowards

Bitch-made cowards. Slavery happened, it wasn't a "state's rights" issue, and reparations are still owed. Fuck anyone who thinks otherwise.

We lost peak all because of a bunch of cowards and racist ass snowflakes. Fuck this.

Cowardly is the word

You fucking cowards!! Don't want to offend the Nazis, huh?!

This is precisely the time art should reflect the times and fucking PUSH BACK!

Other content:

I wouldn't envy the task of having to sell a game like that to the current Fourth Reich.

They probably didn't want to deal with being Jimmy Kimmeled and the Charlie Kirk stuff probably vindicated their decisions.

The fact that so many companies are openly saying "we don't want to upset racists because the majority of Americans are racist" is telling. Our country is cooked. Hell not even America: The west is cooked.

Makes sense.
Any Ubisoft employee would be at risk if living in USA and the USA government could put all kinds of retaliatory measures in place against the company or even France.

Huh, anti-DEI kills art. Who knew.

Who would make a 200M game that could be banned in one of the biggest markets with zero legal basis?

Yeah we're definitely not getting another Wolfenstein.

What next, canceling Wolfeinstein?

New Wolfenstein might be seriously impossible in this climate, jesus fuck.

They're going after books left and right so it's not unlikely they would do the same for video games. Especially from foreign developers.

Corporations sure do love giving gifts to the far right all the time.

With threats like the one we saw from the FCC chairman, and with America's Executive branch strengthening its grip around media - I can't really blame Ubisoft for chickening out on this one, not when the livelihoods of so many employees are at stake. We'd all like to think that Major Corporation X should rise up and release a scathing look at modern America, but the reality of the fallout afterward is a major risk, and risk flies in the face of the very system that elevated Ubisoft to the position they're in today. For many legitimate reasons (and some unacceptable ones too), I don't think we can rely on multi-national corporations to take a stand against much these days.

I think that's where indie and AA studios come into view - indies specifically. There are fewer risks, fewer jobs at stake, potentially fewer lawsuits if they're viewed as less of a "threat" to the regulatory bodies in power. It's kind of incredible that we still haven't seen broad legislation targeting some of the most heinous games released - you can find a list of those in ResetEra's user policies, and those of Steam and Reddit as well - and if that's the case, then a critical look from an indie studio should also largely fly under the radar. And I say that acknowledging the noose that's slowly tightening around any critical media, which is...incredibly worrisome.

I get the frustration with Ubisoft. Really. But maybe this is a canary in the coalmine - another long-dead canary in a coalmine that's been releasing toxic fumes for many years now - that today's political administration won't tolerate political criticism even tangentially related. And we should all be incredibly concerned about that.

i only hope in 2028 when hopefully topple this regime they can resume development on it

Very few people read the story, the game was cancelled in summer 2024 under Genocide Joe.

John Brown would've made such a good Assassin.

Yeah, what with his complete lack of stealth, plan that involved marching around an area the size of Europe and butchering of innocents.

[kaleidoscopium]

Hasan just played the full version of the 8-year-old clip where he is talking about his roommate getting a shock collar for his old dog and that is some of the most blatant editing I've ever seen. The freaks sharing the clip purposefully cutting out the part where he says, "But I couldn't do it."

These are some evil, soulless people. What kind of life do you have to have to spend your time trying to smear a person like that?

The irony of Jeff marvel of all people saying this is killing me

[HaughtyFrank]

Would be funny if it's really related to the Yasuke backlash, because the take away shouldn't be to not have a black hero, the takeaway should be that you don't have to bend over backwards to insert diversity

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Isn't it more realistic to blame the bad sales of Assassins Creed Shadows over "Political climate"? But I doubt Ubi would like to say the former to the latter.

Best they can do is make a side story to assassins with a korean male lead fighting against colonial japan. 

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

No. As shown in above clip, the vibrate has a red light which is nowhere to be seen in any video of "proof" of a shock collar. The most likely reason for the help is her scaping her dewclaw. You can see a close up of the exact moment a few pages back

It's not a shock collar, it's a vibration collar, and no matter what collar it is or was, it was always just the dew claw.

Why is everyone being so weird about a guy getting angry at his dog for silently moving its body?

EDIT:

I'm pretty positive the collar is either a FT-330, ET-300, or PE-900/Pro. Identical design to what he showed on stream, but it seems like he removed the prongs and put black tape over the back for some reason (maybe to prevent accidental shocks if we're being charitable).

It's possible he only uses the vibration functionality but they are capable of either shock or vibration

Using a vibration collar on a dog who just wants to get off its little bed after 3 hours of sitting there isn't much better. But go off HDF.

A new argument is that he could have also simply removed the prongs. Apparently a bunch of shock collars are also vibration collars.

Was cancelled before it even came out.

I think it's funny the entire thread is assuming the "political climate" comment can only be about Nazis/chuds/racists/etc. rather than how much Ubi might be wary of even depicting all the racists and KKK and stuff accurately.

The announcement of Confederate was followed by anger and criticism on social media with some describing it as slavery fan fiction.[2][3] This led to the hashtag #NoConfederate, which trended number one in the United States and number two worldwide on Twitter in mid 2017.[4][2] Although development of the series continued after the controversy, plans for the series were ultimately confirmed as canceled in January 2020.

Ta-Nehisi Coates, writing for The Atlantic, said "African-Americans do not need science-fiction, or really any fiction, to tell them that this 'history is still with us'"

After the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 12, 2017, KJ Whittaker worried that Confederate could intensify hate groups in America

Not just this, we're talking about an era where people have been erasing episodes of shows that depict blackface to mock it as racist. Or the criticism of the use of the n-word in stuff like Django. (Which was mentioned in that thread but positively as something the user would watch since the game is cancelled.) 

Like, imagine if Ubisoft had all the KKK and white supremacists in the game using the n-word constantly.

[kaleidoscopium]

First, "reach + yelp" is not proof of a shock collar. If you actually watch the video, you can see where the dog's nail could have been caught on something at the same time that the yelp happens. He also showed what he was reaching for on stream.

Second, he showed the damn collar up close on stream today. Something tells me you weren't even aware of that but are still doubling down on your original belief.

Third, your claim of "he admitted to owning a shock collar" is a reference to an 8-year-old clip where he is talking about how his roommate wanted to get a shock collar for both of their dogs. He said they owned the collar and added, "But I couldn't do it."

People have purposefully edited out the part where he says "I couldn't do it" and uploaded it to Twitter as proof that he uses a shock collar. That is what you are referring to.

Fourth, and perhaps most importantly, a few seconds of critical thinking should at the very least lead you to a conclusion of "maybe I shouldn't jump to conclusions." This dog has been behind him on camera for 7 hours a day, almost every single day, for the last 2+ years. There are countless on-camera examples of her lying on her bed simply because he verbally told her to.

So what you're choosing to believe is that after all that time, he decided to randomly start shocking his dog on stream yesterday or he's been shocking her for 2+ years and somehow, the dog never reacted in pain until yesterday and not a single viewer has ever noticed a shock collar.

Really think about that scenario, which is the one you are choosing to believe even after he showed the collar on stream.

Maybe Hasan should wear a vibration collar that his chat controls and everytime he stops speaking, starts eating, or wants to get up and stretch he gets a vibration for being a bad, bad boy.

Didn't they cancel it because they already have a Assassins Creed game underway about witchcraft or whatever and had to sell their most valuable shit to China to avoid certain bankruptcy.

Although I hear the Star Wars open world game post patches is pretty decent especially on the Nintendo Switch 2 videogame system.
