The "nuance" is that Palestine is under illegal occupation and an ongoing apartheid and the right to armed resistance is recognized. Meanwhile Israel continues to "defend itself" by committing to a campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing while annexing land illegally to fit their Zionist ambitions.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/more-than-25-protesters-arrested-after-taking-over-university-of-washington-building.1182027/#post-139577490

I was watching the morning news here in Seattle on King 5 and they mentioned these protestors specifically supported the October 7th attacks. Is that actually true?

Edit: This was in the their statement:

"We are taking this building amidst the current and renewed wave of the student Intifada, following the uprising of student action for Palestine after the heroic victory of Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7th, which shattered the illusion of zionist-imperialist domination and brought Palestine to the forefront for all justice-loving people of the world," wrote the protestors in the manifesto.

Highly doubtful. I haven't met anyone, no matter how pro-Palestinian, who supports actual acts of terrorism.

Oh My Fucking God.

STOP.

Every day is an October 7 in Gaza. That's what companies like Boeing are enabling. But instead we get concern trolling over October 7. The sheer racism to constantly prop up this up and ignore the sheer magnitude of atrocities that dwarf it in comparison. Anyone bringing up the October 7 comparison is not operating in good faith at this point in the conversation. There are tens of thousands of dead children and women, a famine and an ongoing genocide and people have the gall to drag this shit out again and again.

If you're going to go after me, please leave in my final sentence asking if it was actually true. I don't take what the media says at face value and was looking for confirmation one way or the other.

Your concern has been noted. Did you know that no food or supplies have entered Gaza since two months? That over a million children are at risk of an engineered famine?

I am well aware that what is happening in Palestine is a genocide and that the IDF and Israeli government should be drug into the international criminal courts and tried for their terrible actions. I was caught off guard by that statement in the morning news and was hoping to better understand what this specific group meant by their statements.

I'm sorry, I'm just mad at what mainstream media generally does - which is hijack the conversation to make it all about October 7. It's not specifically at you, but I did want to call out exactly what the intention is when they dredge this up again and again.

Meanwhile people in the Israeli government talk like this with zero fucking blips on Western media.

Far right Israeli minister says 'Gaza will be entirely destroyed'
The far-right Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich has been speaking at a conference in the occupied West Bank settlement of Ofra.

"Gaza will be entirely destroyed, civilians will be sent to... the south to a humanitarian zone without Hamas or terrorism, and from there they will start to leave in great numbers to third countries," he said.

I'm just trying to understand the intention from this initial paragraph in this specific group's post concerning their protest last night:

We are taking this building amidst the current and renewed wave of the student Intifada, following the uprising of student action for Palestine after the heroic victory of Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7th,which shattered the illusion of zionist-imperialist domination and brought Palestine to the forefront for all justice-loving people of the world.

Is there some nuance or context I'm missing here?

The context you’re missing is GAZA GAZA GAZA GAZA. That’s all you need to know. Capitalist swine.

The "nuance" is that Palestine is under illegal occupation and an ongoing apartheid and the right to armed resistance is recognized.

Would love to know what organization "recognizes" this right to mass murder civilians in the case of "illegal occupation" (declared by who?) and "ongoing apartheid"? Is it Hamas?

[Besticus Maximus]

GTA 6 thread is weirdly negative, the game looks awesome

[benji]

If I'm on TERF Island and a trans woman is filling up my ladies toilet with poop and refusing to come out can I mass murder civilians? Asking for a children's book author.

You know what everybody hates about Nelson Mandela? His failure to slaughter thousands of civilians.

Cis sex is disgusting…needs to be wholesome wlw content then we’re cool

I got the point. My first post was "I'm not sure about the couple/sex stuff" I think it was too much for a trailer... I mean, I got it with the first sex scene. Do we need 5 more sex shot to make a point? I think that's not necessary and kinda ruins it for me. But this forum thinks I have real life problems lol. It's so dumb.

Looks amazing, but I'm not so sure about all that relationship/sex/couple life in the game lol it's so cringe.

This is what they’re gonna complain about ad nauseam about GTA6, it’s too cis.

Rockstar has always sought to be provocative with their lampooning of Americana. In 2025 the biggest taboo is monogamous hetero intercourse between two attractive people. Masters of their craft.

Why people assume that if you find incredible hard to justify sex scenes in games or movies you're immediately single or have problems in real life?
That's so dumb guys.
I'm 38 years old, have a healthy relationship for more than 10 years.
It's just I don't like them and find INCREDIBLE hard to justify, write and shoot them working in movies for the past 15 years.

Article seems to imply this is because he is Israeli, rather than because he is a Zionist.

Edit: which I am inclined to disagree with. I doubt any Israeli artist that was explicitly against the genocide would have any issues booking concerts at these venues.

It's not because of <racial identity>, it's because of <equivalent dogwhistle>!

Also the bolded part, holy fuck. "Anyone who just says the words will be left alone! Why not just say the words?!?"

Imagine saying this shit to US citizens during the heyday of 9/11 and the Irak War. How many people would have you convinced to your side? 

Also, fucking bitch ass crocodile tears about “everyday is October 7 in Gaza”, because that would imply you didn’t see this coming after Hamas decided to start a war they couldn’t win. 

“Boo boo ho, we didn’t expect a war so disastrous for civilians at Gaza… even thought we did… even before the ground invasion.”

Also just so incredibly disingenuous to call it "armed resistance". Hamas could have just targeted military outposts if they had wanted to but they didn't, their goal was to slaughter as many humans as possible. Who the fuck feels the need to defend that. And big surprise, Israels response to indiscriminate killing is going to be even more indiscriminate killing, who could have seen that coming.

What's great is saying this would get me banned for dismissing concerns on there: Also, I hate ethnostates (and well, states in general) as much as the next guy, but maybe don't escalate conflicts you clearly can't win especially because you don't even have a plan for how to do it.

Hi guys, we're the team behind your favorite narrative video game series exclusively about lower class ethnic minorities in another country, all of whom we depict as criminals. Please enjoy our latest cheeky satire! And remember, if you interrogate this at all, you are just a killjoy! It's just a bit of fun!

This is why no one should take these culture warriors seriously because until now their main complaint was that the GTA characters were too male and too white

just once it'd be neat to see these guys apply their incredibly broad satirical brush to their own fucked up and deeply spiritually diseased country instead of hammering the same stupid US stereotypes over and over and over and over again

They focus on the US because doing the UK would only work for people from the UK, whereas you can do America for everybody.

From the posts above, I thought the trailer included borderline porn. It's about as "rated E" as is gets  

Decent trailer. It's GTA I guess.

Can't believe those Scots put sex scenes in a video game. Absolutely disgusting.

As revealed by The Daily Mail, Tom Felton -- the actor best known for portraying Harry Potter's snobbish bully, Draco Malfoy, throughout the eight Potter films -- has disclosed he'll portray a small role in the Harry Potter remake.

"I'll definitely be sneaking into a background shot as an extra," the 37-year-old Felton confirmed.

In the past, Felton has remained fairly neutral in the controversy surrounding J.K. Rowling and her stance on the transgender community. Evaluating her impact on contemporary pop culture, Felton said of Rowling in 2022, "No one has single-handedly done more for bringing joy to so many different generations and walks of life."

In addition to his small role on-screen, Felton is also expected to be involved in Harry Potter's production in a more "behind-the-scenes role." What those duties specifically mean for the Harry Potter and Planet of the Apes actor is currently unknown, but a source close to Harry Potter's production told The Daily Mail that Felton has the backing and support of J.K. Rowling herself for the project.

Yeah, hate this stuff. Someone universally hating journalists in any field, including gaming, is always a red flag. Usually speaks to someone who bases their views on reactionary headlines

 

I reject the proposition that video game writers or any opinion-havers are inherently journalists and should therefore be respected.

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Amusingly, Dean's an exception. Though he's a business reporter in the first place. He still should be mocked for this hilarious performance. And for not knowing you could level up in Mass Effect. And for thinking Warhammer 40K was a rip-off of Gears of War. Also any other dumb shit he's done beyond this.

[Eric Cartman]

This doesnt sound like the Houthis ngl

They put their lives on the line to enact the blockade in protest of the Palestinian genocide and they only stopped when the ceasefire started and resumed when the ceasefire ended

I get that Trump has been more Brazen than Biden has been in attacking them but the idea that Trump beat them into submission just doesnt hit my ear right

I know they survived the SA genocide within Yemen but do we really think Trump 'beat' them into stopping? If so where did Trump succeed where Biden failed (other than just straight up attacking Yemen civilian populations). Is he just blowing hot air? Did someone lie to him? Is he lying to us hoping the Houthis would back down? I dont know much about the Houthis but they seem pretty staunch in their convictions and I just dont see them backing down without the genocide in Gaza ending. My impression of them is that they would literally rather die.

I don't really listen to the genre all that much anymore but it was very funny to be late to the party on every single band in existence except like...Suburban Legends and the Mad Caddies.
