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.

When your favorite terror group lets you down. I think it's time to cancel the Houthis

[Tucker's Law]

Joker and Homelander are outdated anyway. It's all about being Ryan Gosling and dying alone in the snow

I channel Tommy Shelby but a female friend told me, I need to be more brooding and less happy.

I went with more happy but she said I should dial that back a notch. 
And the fact that I know you can dial that on a whim she said, makes it even more scary.



Ryan Gosling I tried too, especially the one from Bladerunner 2049. But he doesn't have the commanding edge and persistence.
The power of the ENTJ is truely taking bold action after the post acceptance stage instead of giving up. 

Yes, the neoliberal world order is burning down, no it doesn't bother me at all. Maybe we should side with the communists.

Women really don't know what the fuck they want, only that they want it bad.

I don't see anything here about supporting the occupation of Gaza. Unless you are speaking to the angle that Israel existing is in and of itself an occupation which is a much larger can of worms and I don't even think Rashida has gone there.

Considering they enacted the Nakba (recent enough for there to be living victims of this, with Israelis living their stolen homes), yes, they're a settler colonial occupying force setting up an apartheid state with the goal of expanding, which they have continued to do. Even before October 7th, the people of Gaza and the West Bank were not going to be free or have better living conditions when Israel is the one that controls their resources... while also enacting horrific violence upon them for no real reason other than terror on a regular basis.

The state as it is quite literally should not exist and supporting its existence has a very obvious end result. For the liberals reading this, this does not mean the Israelis should be killed or even expelled, because believe it or not most marginalized groups wouldn't do to white people what whites have done to them.

One suggestion though, make sure the alternate address is secure. (As in it won't be part of a breach or get hacked)

My point is more, try to make it something that isn't going to get hacked or be a part of a breach as that is generally what causes people's Era accounts to get hacked.

How the fuck would anyone be able to know that?

Okay I'm going to be real right now, given what I've seen today online, I think the internet is letting chuds control the narrative of GTA6 discourse and it's being used to dismiss any and all criticism of the trailer and the GTA series.

I feel like I would get dogpiled for saying this on any of the GTA VI threads but I feel like the only person in the world just not interested in GTA6, or seems to remember the series has a LONG history of treating women poorly, from nasty stereotypes, nothing but sex objects or are best generic girlfriends/wives who get next to no characterization. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills a bit and don't trust Rockstar one minute, even with a women PC not to do the same (especially when it came to light Rockstar "boys clubs" culture and poor treatment of women workers in the past), that trailer did not convince me otherwise.

This also feels a bit disturbing because the GTA fandom has a history of harassing and threatening women who dare criticize the treatment of women and the misogyny in the games; like I still remember the way Carolyn Petit was sent death threats, abuse and transphobia for weeks for her 9/10 review of GTA5 because she had a paragraph.

Also to be blunt I'm not against sex in video games, but I get the sense there wouldn't be as many people supporting and defending it if the trailer didn't include leering shots of Lucia Caminos arse or if she wasn't conveniently attractive (see the freakout and anger against Abby's sex scene in The Last of Us Part 2), or if the sex scene was instead a non-exploitative same-sex scene between two men or two women.

Also quite bluntly kind of disturbing finding people online and even era joking about how games let your murder prostitutes after having sex with them; way to show your support for women there... Quite honestly, I'm worried about this game releasing because I feel like ERA and the internet is going to be filled with fanboys dogpiling any women who dares criticize this games treatment of women of any othe problematic and bigoted content like transphobia.

Why does it feel like if it's GTA related, the treatment of women, misogyny, objectification, sexualization etc suddenly become non-issues and A-okay. Like that series is above criticism.

Dismissing concerns of all that anti-trans violence that regularly happens at corporate fan events at theme parks, especially by those cosplaying as childrens characters.

It was probably because it gave the impression that was the only reason it wasn't a 10/10:

On a less positive note, it’s deeply frustrating that, while its central and supporting male characters are flawed and complex characters, with a few extremely minor exceptions (such as the aforementioned optional getaway driver), GTA V has little room for women except to portray them as strippers, prostitutes, long-suffering wives, humorless girlfriends and goofy, new-age feminists we’re meant to laugh at.

Characters constantly spout lines that glorify male sexuality while demeaning women, and the billboards and radio stations of the world reinforce this misogyny, with ads that equate manhood with sleek sports cars while encouraging women to purchase a fragrance that will make them “smell like a bitch.” Yes, these are exaggerations of misogynistic undercurrents in our own society, but not satirical ones. With nothing in the narrative to underscore how insane and wrong this is, all the game does is reinforce and celebrate sexism. The beauty of cruising in the sun-kissed Los Santos hills while listening to “Higher Love” by Steve Winwood turns sour really quick when a voice comes on the radio that talks about using a woman as a urinal.

...

The Good
Innovative three-protagonist structure leads to loads of amazing moments
Outstanding, multilayered heists and other missions
Huge, gorgeous, varied open world packed with things to see and do
Trevor is an unforgettable character
Great vehicle handling makes traveling the world a joy

The Bad
Politically muddled and profoundly misogynistic
Character behavior is sometimes inconsistent

I feel like more and more, I've come to the conclusion that for some, their only allies, whether trans allies, feminist allies etc until their favourite thing is criticized for it, in which case they'll suddenly turn. You see that a lot with Rowling and HP but I feel it's so damn universal and kind of makes it clear people care more about their heroes, favourite works of fiction then women and minorities.

Like in the game community, we saw how many people turned on trans people with CD Projekt Red was criticized for the marketing of Cyberpunk 2077, the Wizard game of course and something I always remember, how so many people tried to shame trans people who didn't want to buy Activision Blizzards games after their history of transphobic abuse came out, I remember the thread about on ERA had people quoting journalists like Patricia Hernandez, Jason Schreier and Alanah Pearce to shame trans people not wanting to buy from that company.

I say this because I'd kind of dreading now the release of GTA6 because given how I'm seeing today people justifying,, downplaying and even mock the series misogyny and sexist treatment of women (because because of hype for the game and to annoy chuds upset about sex (which like I said in the Gamergate 2.0 thread, I don't believe many of the people supporting and defending the sex in GTA6 trailer would be if it didn't include leering shots of Lucia Caminos arse or if she wasn't conveniently attractive (see the freakout and anger against Abby's sex scene in The Last of Us Part 2), or if the sex scene was instead a non-exploitative same-sex scene between two men or two women), like seriously why is the idea of killing prostitutes now considered funny?). A series women reviewers have routinely been sent death threats and harassed by fans for daring to criticize the game for it's treatment of women, even in glowing reviews of the game.

I'm sorry but after today, if GTA6 has transphobic shit (and given the series is known to hit down, has had transphobic shit in the past and Rockstar history of having a "boys club" work culture, I really there is a good chance it will for a cheap joke) people on ERA and the internet will turn against and dogpiling trans people for speaking out. I'm really dreading that.

Imagine being such a terminally online paranoiac that you are afraid of a fucking video game coming out.
Even though Rockstar patched out the trans jokes in the last game, one of their longest running writers (male) has left the company, and all reports saying Rockstar has become even more progressive and lenient on their employees regarding cruch. Nah, not good enough y'all I'm just so tired.

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.
