Around 90% of the military dead have been identified and teams are half way through identifying civilians, said Rabbi Israel Weiss, former army chief rabbi, one of the officials overseeing the identification of the dead. He said many bodies showed signs of torture as well as rape.

"We've seen dismembered bodies with their arms and feet chopped off, people that were beheaded, a child that was beheaded," a reserve warrant officer identified only by her first name of Avigayil told reporters.

She said multiple cases of rape were found by forensic examination of the bodies, which have been stored in refrigerated containers.

"We do the identification with all the means that we have," said a military dentist, identified as Captain Maayan. "We see them in severe stages of abuse. We see gunshots and we see signs that are purely torture."

No mention of the terrorist killings in Belgium, huh?
Can't say I'm surprised.

Someone bumped Kyuuji's infamous call to Jihad CDPR for being transphobes: https://www.resetera.com/threads/cdpr-is-a-transphobic-company-its-time-we-stop-making-excuses-for-them.307474/page-142#post-113560310

They still mad CDPR didn't apologize for the transphobia they all completely willed into existence:

I could be wrong because honestly this situation hit me very hard back in 2020 but I don't remember CDP ever talking about it and doing something about these concerns.

Haven't fucked up at all, appreciate you reading it and for the kind words.

As far as I'm aware they never acknowledged it and never amended or removed the various bullshit in the game.

I'm honesty not sure. I don't think they ever said anymore more after the initial blowback. I started a new playthrough when the update came out, and from what I can tell, it doesn't look like they changed/removed anything on that front :(

I doubt they’ll ever apologize for it, seems like they feel well enough letting it fade into obscurity. Really shitty and I hope most here don’t forget their behavior.

Kyuuji still mad about "The Beast":

Maddie Taylor was the voice of Claire Russell in the base game, the trans woman with a questline called "the beast in me" and a vehicle with a trans sticker on it called "beast". I don't know much about the DLC at all, so perhaps there is improvement there. I haven't heard word of anything good or bad in it though so I assume there's nothing of note in either direction.

Fascist Jeff Landry Wins LA Gov Election Outright, Avoiding Runoff

damn that's nuts, let's see hachikoma's take

i think this is the wrong way to think about it for several reasons, not least of which is that it's the mainstream non-southerner democratic way of framing it and that hasn't exactly been paying dividends. centrist dems fail here because centrism is blatantly unserious in face of the magnitude of our structural problems. but there's enormous untapped potential for broad-based leftist organizing. i mentioned this in poliera but i got muscled out of running in district 23 by pearl ricks, who then simply... didn't campaign, exactly like i was afraid of - i only got one touch from them and it was a mailer on election day. the former state director for hillary's 2016 campaign agreed yesterday that if they hadn't ratfucked me by abusing internal queer coalition dynamics i'd be taking 23 to a runoff as a trans huey long able to nationalize the race by punching at jeff landry. i don't know if an opportunity like this will come again because the window for transfemmes being electable is closing fast as the dehumanization takes hold, but i was exactly right in identifying it for what it was.

Yeah, I'm sure what the people of Louisiana District 23 want is for a transfemme who "nationalizes the race" by running against the gubernatorial (aka statewide, not national) candidate by decrying capitalism and the need for immediate violent revolution in the face of a failed democracy that's genociding them. If only they hadn't been muscled out by Pearl Ricks who... came in third:

Tammy Savoie (D) 35.6 2,403
Shaun Mena (D) 28.6 1,928
Pearl Ricks (D) 21.2 1,430
Bryan Jefferson (D) 14.6 988

A district which is 57% Black and has less than 20% of the population with a college degree. Yeah, they'd really love a yt transfemme communist. Meanwhile, Jefferson, Mena, Savoie (who previously ran for Congress) and Ricks:


But it looks like Ricks won with not just the Black card over yt supremacist hachikoma:

But Ricks, who is trans and intersex

Currently the executive director for the Reproductive Justice Action Collective, Ricks also has a long history of activism and social justice work. That political experience, coupled with their own life experiences, makes them an ideal candidate for constituents, they tell PEOPLE.

"I don't have to be told that LGBTQ folks need protections. It wasn't the past three or four or five or 10 years that this came up for me. This is something that is ingrained in who I am," Ricks says. "I never had to be told that locking people up and treating them poorly and putting young people in adult prisons and all of these things are bad. These are not new conversations."

Ricks says that, because of their activism, they're used to criticism and the attacks that come with running for office — but they don't view that as an uphill battle.

"I've been dealing with people who dox since before they called it doxxing, you know what I mean? Just having those experiences and making it through to the other side and knowing that stillness doesn't guarantee safety, I want to keep going for it," they say.

Ricks continues: "I feel like when people see follow-through and when they see [someone who is] unafraid, then they're like, 'Okay, let's try it.' We already know what doesn't work, and I feel like a lot of people want to see something new."

Asked about specific legislative goals, Ricks is quick to offer up a list of priorities, including affordable housing, environmental protections confronting a homeowners' insurance crisis, advancing non-discrimination practices that protect the LGBTQ+ community and those who are formerly incarcerated, and ensuring Louisianans can access high-quality education.

"I'm already in a protection mode role for my community. I was just raised that way, honestly, cooking in the church. My family loved a good church ministry, so it means we were in there. Being active for the people around me," Ricks says.

They continue: "There's a huge overlap in that Venn diagram of protecting myself and protecting other people. I can feel the pain that folks are going through."

Ricks also connects with voters on a deeper level. They've worked in caregiving, as a home health aide, they've done community organizing and juggled multiple jobs along with more creative pursuits, as a musical artist. They know what it's like to struggle, to fight. And even, Ricks says, to miscarry.

"I've had to sit and heal from a resentment that I held where my sadness can only go so far because of the state of the world ... and thinking that this is the type of world that I would've been raising my child in, and how harmful and painful that could be for me and how harmful and painful that could be for them," they say.

But even after the trauma — or maybe, because of it — Ricks says they now view parenting and caregiving in a new light.

"A part of me is like, 'Well, I have this care. I have this surplus of care. I have this surplus of protective energy. I have this reservoir, and I want to use it for something.'"

Black, trans, intersex, doxed, and had a miscarriage despite being trans and intersex!

Oh wait, non-binary and FAT too:

Pearl is the Executive Director and a founding member of what is now the Reproductive Justice Action Collective or ReJAC. Being a black non-binary trans person, they have experienced the joys, triumphs, beauties, and complexities of their identities; as well as the discrimination, harassment, and violence that stemmed from being black, fat, queer, trans, nonbinary, etc.

Pearl Ricks (they, them, theirs)

Sorry, hachikoma, you brought a hookup knife to a gunfight!

Honesstly the only thing is for them to important business that bring dem voters in. Ga is the way it is partly because of attractiving Hollywood and the rest of the entertainment business.

Zeo is back besides saying he would be taking a break. 

I have to be honest: this is insanely creepy.



Like, I knew this kind of stuff would happen the moment I chimed in on the LSM situation, where I simply tried to explain why people were upset about the collaboration. I know that generally anyone who says something negative about LSM or Colin Moriarty ends up facing harassment.

But it doesn't make it any less creepy.

And Gene Park comes into defend Colin

Hey all, I hope I’m not making a mistake by posting here (I know a lot of my readers are here too, hello! longtime reader, rare poster) but I really want to push back on the idea that LSM, a company I contribute to, is any kind of political show or holds any kind of political or ideological stance. It does not and it is not.

My employer, The Washington Post, would not have greenlit my involvement if Last Stand Media was in any way a show about strong political viewpoints. The leadership vetted it. It simply isn’t. Social issues are rarely discussed, and if they are, they’re addressed with some nuance, and Colin has always been very careful in stating his own inherent bias and ignorance on certain issues. However lightly social or political issues are addressed, t is a centrist approach, which is largely aligned with how mainstream media orgs like The Post operates.

Literally all the content is about games, the business of games, the culture of games. I would not have gotten involved if that was not the case. But it is. It’s just a gaming media platform. To say otherwise is simply inaccurate and based on hearsay and memes.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/easy-allies-ot3-begin-corrections-music-please.145554/page-387#post-113519660



Edit:

Gene, the guy said racism doesn't exist and his reasoning was "because Asians."

Oh so the non-Asian guy is going to lecture the Asian guy, who has been a leader in Asian advocacy groups for the last 15 years, on the nuances of model minority discussions?
Is that what you’re going to do?

It's since sold 25 Million Copies, with another 3 Million for Phantom Liberty



In other words Kyuuji, CD Projekt completely ignored your hate campaign, completely ignored the 'transphobia' hysteria by still keeping the cock advert and that ridiculous warning on every single page on the OT had absolutely ZERO impact on sales since it's made close to a $1 Billion dollars.

AND you're on your THIRD fucking playthrough!

Now will you realise what a retard you are??

fetishizing cock augments in a futuristic cyberpunk world run by blood sucking corporations should be applauded. Of course the world would advertise cocks. Cocks are best in slot gear in society.

"harassment"

Feels incredibly yucky to say that to an appreciated long time member, off site, and act like it's perfectly okay. You are wanted, regardless of what that person said(not sure who they are on era, if that even if actually a user).

Thanks. <3

And one of the worst members immediately calls out the coward:

This coward presumably still has and values an account here if they don't want you to 'come back'.

Don't be shy RollaRoko, own your words

This is also amazing stuff:

What's up with all the downplaying and "maybe Dustin isn't such a bad guy?" the last few pages? He's literally an executive producer at Last Stand Media. He may not be the literal mouthpiece but he is certainly the one packaging the hate and sending it out for it to be consumed.

That's the entire role of a producer.

Think about it for a second: he's not someone low on the totem pole over there, he's at the top.

When I watched the latest Frame Trap and saw both him and Last Stand Media in the tag below there's no planet where that's being an ally to trans people.

I don't watch LSM and don't like Colin's views, but you act like he's a producer at Fox News. My understanding from things I've been reading from both sides of the debate is virtually all of their content is not political in nature.

Even if that's the case and we take that as absolute fact, they've had far right guests on, Colin himself is racist transphobe and is a "Don't tread on me" guy, very publically I might add and it absolutely DOES pop up in content they produce.

Again, one of their guests appeared on Tucker Carlson and Last Stand Media's video content in the same month!

As a producer, you are responsible for the content you produce. You aren't some passive party in the whole process.

Colin shares all the views of people of fox, notably Tucker Carlson. Every single other person that interviewed Kara Lynne would immediately be dismissed as a chud here. Why is Colin getting the benefit of the doubt?

His own Twitter account has him as Executive Producer and Co-host of Colin's podcast. Just because you don't own the company doesn't mean you don't have a responsibility in the content you put out when you are at the company, that's like ethics 101 for marketers and content producers. I didn't own a company I worked at and I put out over 50 long-form pieces of video content at, but you better believe I felt I had an ethical responsibility in my job to make sure we were never bolstering voices that harm minorities, which is something that Last Stand Media has failed at again and again. In fact, I went out of my way to produce content that promoted diverse voices, including underrepresented minorities because it was important.

I will say that your constant attempts to disconnect the politics of Colin from Last Stand Media and point to it "just being about games" rings very false - Any money that goes to Last Stand Media directly lines his pockets. Any content produced by Last Stand Media also lines his pockets.

Last Stand Media's fanbase is inherently political because of who Colin is.

I hate to do this but I just fundamentally disagree with painting certain people with certain views just because they said one offhand comment several years ago that was ignorant at worst.

And guess what: I am mutuals with many very prominent people in the alt-right. That doesn’t mean I share or promote their views. It’s just social media, a tool for information.

And before you question my judgment on what is transphobic, there is documented evidence of me calling out transphobia at my own workplace: https://www.dailydot.com/irl/washington-post-transphobic-mueller-report-cartoon/

Your entire post kind of brushes over the fact that there's literal proof from January of this year of Last Stand Media taking political stances and agreeing with someone who called the organizer of Bronycon a pedophile...

I’m sorry but one show out of hundreds a year does not make the entire organization political.

Did you not read the agreement reply to someone calling the organizer of bronycon a pedophile? Its from the literal brand account, you know, the one that speaks for all of you over there at Last Stand Media.

i mean purple tinker did say things like “the 14 year old might disagree” it’s rape. Is that the kind of statement we really want to defend?’

I'm sorry, but you are being really disingenuous with your posts here.

As someone pointed out earlier, the person who got banned earlier in this conversation for dismissing transphobia went to the unofficial EZA Reddit to complain about being banned.

You replied to him, which a couple people reached out to me about because you had mentioned me. I decided to completely ignore it and was doing that. I've even replied to you since and tried to conversate with you. But you're now gaslighting ClickyCal' and others on the topic of transphobia and it's really hard to watch.



I don't even care about what you said about me. I know I can sometimes be overly blunt and it's something I really do try to work on.

But you went there to defend the person who got banned from here for dismissing transphobia. While doing so, you made it clear that you believe some anti-trans people have "genuine concern on certain elements of the topic" (that topic being "trans people"). And that you believe trans rights is a "more nuanced topic than many treat it."

And now you're in this thread, debating with members of the LGBTQ+ community about what is and isn't transphobic? Of course, you're not going as far as to say how you actually feel about the topic.

What you're doing in this discussion is gross and dishonest.
