It's demeaning, juvenile, pretty flawed logic, objectifying, implies women who aren't conviently attractive or aren't designed to be attractive can't be popular, implies men's opinions are more valid the men, degrades women to just our bodies and deeply problematic; especially so much porn of characters like Tracer erases her lesbian identity (which quite blunt speaks poorly to the artist and the fans of that art, I'm sorry but if you fantasy requires the erasure of queer identites, you fantasy is awful and bigoted and I will judge you for it, same with artists that erase trans identites)

Sounds to me that Druckmann has an ego bigger than Kojima and has been around Disney executives.
Yes, is not fault of the actor that people react negatively of a decision made by creatives… but is lame how they are blaming fans and thinking is just because “misogyny” rather than the trailer being cliche as hell. They keep saying that the game is totally serious and is about faith, but almost nothing of that come across in that trailer.
Good creatives usually pay attention to criticism, and choose whatever to listen to it or not.

I want to just point out that while Medicaid fraud is not the problem that conservatives and Trump make it out to be, so eliminating it wouldn't bring much savings, you're an idiot if you decide that it must exist and therefore must be coming from insurance companies and health care providers. You're saying that when Medicaid goes to pay for something and contracts with the private suppliers because the bulk of the American health care market is privately provided it's somehow the actual fraud. Not people providing false information to Medicaid to sign up, but Medicaid having to pay for things rather than just having cops apparently show up and threaten to shoot people.
It's like some compulsive itch they have to not just say "Trump's wrong about this" but then to invent their own counter conspiracy theory that's perhaps even more absurd. Trump's claim that there's hundreds of billions worth of fraud in Medicaid is just a boaster who never looks anything up being magnitudes off like normal. Deciding that he's wrong because ACKTUALLY there's an elaborate conspiracy theory involving every single person in the health care industry except the administrators of Medicaid is not something you have to do to oppose what Trump wants!
edit: Also, and oh my god I can't believe I missed this, IF your conspiracy theory was true, then Trump's proposal would cause hundreds of billions in damages to the conspiracy whereas your opposition would be protecting it!
Fascism is here:
https://www.usermag.co/p/hasan-piker-detained-at-the-border-and-questioned-for-hours-over-politics-trump-immigration wrote:Hasan Piker, the biggest progressive political streamer in America, was detained by Customs and Border Protection for hours of questioning upon returning to the U.S. from a trip to France this weekend. Piker posted about the incident on X and later talked about it on stream.
He was detained in Chiago and questioned for two hours about protected journalistic activities like who he’s interviewed and his political beliefs. He was asked whether or not he’d interviewed Hamas, Houthis, or Hezbollah members. He was questioned about his opinions on Trump and Israel and asked about his history of bans on Twitch. His phone and laptop were not confiscated.
"They straight up tried to get something out of me that I think they could use to basically detain me permanently,” Piker said on stream following the incident. “… [the agent] kept saying stuff like, do you like Hamas? Do you support Hamas? Do you think Hamas is a terror group or a resistance group?”
“I kept repeating the same statement over and over again,” Piker said. “I kept saying... I'm on the side of civilians. I want the endless bloodshed to end. I am a pacifist. I want wars to end… which is insane because up until this moment. If you were to say as an American citizen, you stand 10 toes down with Hamas, or you stand 10 toes down with the Houthis, they can’t deny you entry into the country for that shit.”
...
Detaining U.S. citizens over speech, especially a political commentator and journalist, allows border control to become a tool of political intimidation.
“The reason they’re doing [this] is to try to create an environment of fear, to try to get people like myself, or others who would be in my shoes that don't have that same level of security, to shut the fuck up,” Piker said on a stream recounting the details of the incident.
“Nothing I have done online is illegal as of now,” Piker added. “Laws may change in the future, and they might actually start prosecuting speech, which I do fear is the goal of this administration. But so far, everything I’ve done is fully protected under the first amendment. And none of the questions [I was asked by CPB] are actually valid questions to ask.”
“I think they [detained me] because they know who the fuck I am and they wanted to put the fear of god into me, not knowing that I'm a stubborn piece of shit and that's not going to work at all,” Piker said.
In a functioning democracy, public figures and journalists are supposed to be able to criticize the government without fear of retaliation. The reason the article keeps calling him a "journalist" is because it's Taylor Lorenz who believes that only journalists have rights.
Didn’t he said himself that he doesn’t consider a journalist?

And I say this as someone that is probably in the top 3 of posters on this site that have written on this IP and will continue to defend the artistic merit of TLOU and TLOU2 stories, often going much further in my praise than almost anyone. I truly think TLOU2 is a better story then TLOU and amongst the best videogame stories ever made. I have found Season 2 up to this point(havent seen this weeks episode yet) to be stronger than the first season.
But I will still stand right up and say aspects of the storytelling and how things are presented knowing their larger context are downright atrocious. Notably, the treatment of black characters and the clear racist subtext with how he presents the Seraphites vs the WLF in the game.
The latter complete with a white savior narrative in the context of Abby and Lev. Where the WLF are treated as largely a collection of many good people, some that got consumed with vengeance and violence, but most are pretty easy to empathize and even sympathize with. The seraphites in contrast are treated almost as if that post I linked in the spoiler was the north star in how the Seraphites were written. Whereas the WLF are given deep levels of empathy and moral complexity the Seraphites are cultists, superstitious, brainwashed, and culturally regressive. The main sympathetic character we get from the WLF is Abby, someone who lost her way and is a good person, we are even meant to feel really bad about killing most of the WLF grunts because most of them are your typical morally complex people. The only person we get of that caliber with the Seraphites is Yara and Lev. Lev who is presented as someone that is still innocent, is forced to recognize the regressive culture due to their sexual identity, and it is implied unless Lev is saved by our white heroine Lev's future is likely one of deep oppression and an early death.
The WLF are deeply humanized and centralized: Good people, bad leadership, many are simply victims to the cycles of violence we must all break or unwitting victims to the cycles others have imposed and forced upon them.
The Seraphites largely remain caricatures. There is no interest in humanizing them. They are brutes, fanatics, cultists that can't be redeemed unless they are 'saved' early like Lev. They terrorize for the love of the game and the few insights we get of people in the community, most of the empathy derived is of a tragic posture. Like the two kids that lost their mom and felt their dad wasn't fighting back enough so they ran away and joined the Seraphites cause they are fighters. Reading almost like a "the kids succumbed to radicalization due to an absentee father."
Unlike in real life the Seraphites are presented as a group that organically became this way, that through leaders radicalizing a religion presented as illegitimate and stupid, there is now little to dwell on over humanizing with it's barbarity other than killing innocents is bad(but at many times its implied few are innocent here). Even if a lot of the actions of the WLF are cruel. There is not much dwelling on the wholesale burning of their island which is kinda on brand in it's own right...
Which again, in contrast to the real story of Israel/Palestine which is one of 100 years of apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and violent oppression that has snuffed out any real societal advancement and undermined any opportunity for peace or proper development(a story across a lot of the ME due to western colonialism). Unlike what is often presented in Israeli media and in this game, the Palestinians are not an actual threat necessitating the level of violence continually perpetuated and used. For someone that has openly said he has used the conflict as inspiration, how Druckmann has chosen to present the obvious allegories is also just as telling and suggests a deeply problematic view of the conflict, Israel's role in it, and the Palestinian people writ large.
I'd like to think that given his capacity for introspection he's shown in his stories that he will find his way to evolving his views in a positive direction, but I think the fact that all this goes along with mostly silence up into the present leaves a lot of people(myself included) rightfully suspicious.

In this case "western colonialism" involving no actual colonialism since the bulk of the Middle East weren't western colonies even if you count Britain and France stepping in when the Ottoman Empire collapsed.

Pretty sure with BF1 Dice was also still interested in being somewhat historically authentic. It wasn't until BFV where they went full crazy with the amputee woman on the cover and the lead dev talking about how he wouldn't be able to face his daughter unless he adds female soldiers to a WW2 game. That's also where the big backlash happened and people like Skillup were forever declared to be Chuds by RE because they thought Dice handled the controversy really badly by making fun of it at their launch party.

It's weird how all the countries in North Africa and the Middle East which ethnically cleansed their Jews after WW2 are shitholes.
Must be colonialism and/or Israel's fault.
The Steam approval ratings:
BF4: 84%
BF1: 86%
BFV: 70%
BF2042: 47%
The backlash V and 2042 got was mainly because DICE seemed more interested in promoting their social justice bonafides than creating the Battlefields people wanted. There wasn't a "shit storm" for 1 that I remember. In fact, the "controversy" regarding 1 was game journalists complaining that making a game about World War I was insensitive and trivializing the horrors of war.
Which was absurd, it was a perfect simulation of those:
