Because we need to address things that actually matter, like the shape of a logo or whatever this is about. Whatever you can come up with to distract and make it look like you're improving things and listening to feedback and doing a good job so people will parasocial themselves into having a good opinion of your character and direction so you can get good marketing optics and more money from people who similarly care more about what's in it for them.
Like *checks note* not mentioning the platforms Xbox games will be available on?
I don't know what the fuck is wrong with some people.
Why is this thread 12 pages?
It is bizarre to me that so many people care so much about the projected brand image of a company that's complicit in genocide

That whole thread is kind of insane. Why do they care so much about something insubstantial?

Jeff creeping on twitch women with no views. Classic.
I do not know how some of these guys manage to post nonstop, browse twitter, constantly watch streamers, catalogue wrong think, etc. just on a logistics level.
No job, no study, no sports, no life, a mother who cooks their tendies and delivers them to their childhood bedroom on a silver platter?
Sit down little bro, you don’t know that Jeff is totally going to make it as a political commentator/livestreamer as soon as he starts streaming on Twitch. His live chud takedown streams will rake in thousands of viewers

But as for strictly killing homelander, it should've taken a lot more than a shitty Kimiko stolen gimmick blast to depower him. The final battle was a pathetic low budget disappointment. And he shouldn't have gone out begging like that. "I'll suck your dick" and "I'll eat your sh*t". Like, seriously? The only reason it fits is because the writers reduced his character to be comically pathetic and childish.
He is a manchild. It was never a secret.

Boredfrom is right. Dude was sucking titty for the milk and motherly love in season 1.
I see your point, but I dunno. I just feel they just really dialed up the pathetic manchild factor up to eleven. He seemed more layered and in control in season 1.
But we can all agree they nerfed the shit out of his powers. From flying to space, to not being able to escape some dingy flesh tentacles. Poor writing at it's finest.
Anyone who kept watching after season 3 got what they deserved.
Gareth Edwards likes AI. Will the Disney/Star Wars armour protect him from Reeee's wrath or will they suddenly remember they always thought something was off about that guy?

People have been posting old The Boys clips and it really makes you realize how far the show had fallen.
Just look at that fanatical fuck "There is no god, the only man in the sky is me"
and then the do this absolutely boring "Church of Homelander" in season 5 that's just another spoof on American megachurches. I think what they really forgot about is that Homelander had this ingrained hatred for humanity because of his childhood.

Spoiler: (click to show)(click to hide) SaberVS7 wrote:So, gonna try to keep this brief.
About, I want to say - Two years ago roughly, new tenant moves in to the apartment below mine, I'll refer to him as The Douchebag from here on - Previous tenant was an elderly couple who weren't long for this world, and ones before them some hooligans who were constantly yelling slurs (not sure if directed or just irony-poisoning) of whom I'm not sure if they were kicked-out or left on their own (but that's beside the point). The Douchebag immediately installs a doorbell camera on his unit which was a massive Vibe Check Fail in my book, but eh whatever - However eventually after about a month or so he confronts me about walking on the grass in front of his unit, so you know what, I comply and stop taking that shortcut, because hey, in this case he's got a point.
Fast forward to, not sure particularly when it started, but at some point after that he started to develop a habit of going around thumping/slamming on my floor/his ceiling, over the noise of my, well, existence as a human being. Eventually this "behavior" evolves into him playing loud and obnoxious music, and/or "ambience" at absurdly loud volumes - And then eventually blasting Joe Rogan and/or other chud podcasters at high volumes around 8AM Sharp, daily.
I believe around April 2025 (I have the exact timestamp on one of my drives, will check later), neighbor from other side of the building (Henceforth "Concerned Citizen") is clearly getting fed up with this and leaves a handwritten note complaining about it on both the front doorstep of both me and The Douchebag (I guess they didn't know which one of us was the source of the audio) - I check with the building manager, they acknowledge they know it's not me and somethingsomething looking into it. A week later, Concerned calls the cops, they talk to Douchebag, Douchebag directs them to me and insists I'm the problem because "[he] can hear [my] TV!" and "[he's] only loud because [I'm] loud!". I make it known to the cops that I'm not the one who made the call, citing Concerned as being the likely person who did. Cops decide this isn't their problem and leave.
From that point on, Douchebag's aggression starts turning up more and more, I guess he'd decided that I am The Enemy and the one who talks to the cops. Morning of August 23rd (2025), when I'm getting myself ready and packing my last few essentials for a flight to New York for AnimeNYC, Douchebag engages in a particularly spirited round of Floor-Slamming, culminating in yelling insults at me through my floor of which I unfortunately fumbled my attempt to record in a panic, with my phone camera being in Picture mode instead of Video - At this point I had started proactively documenting incidents of Douchebag knocking on my floor. At the airport I did make a point of calling my town's police department (non emergency of course) about the incident and his aggression, for which frankly I was starting to develop safety-concerns, however the response I got from them essentially boiled down to this not being their problem. At some point in the days prior, there had been another instance of yelling through my floor which had prompted me to start recording, after the sound of me getting up to take a piss at 4AM seemed to have also woken him up.
To be clear, these instances of Thumping/Slamming aren't just noise - Shit in my apartment is getting knocked over by how hard he's hitting his ceiling (Honestly I'm sure he's damaged his ceiling at this point). Anyway, a week later I get back from New York, which actually brings me to another matter of attempted diplomacy - I'd realized while in New York staying at a hotel that my bed's box-spring was in bad condition and made audible noise when I got on and off the bed, so, first order of business was buying a new one so I wouldn't make loud noises going to/from bed. For a week I had silence from downstairs, but I realized that it was because Douchebag was on his own vacation and his parents were occupying the apartment to dogsit for him. Naturally, upon his return, the aggression started once more. I don't have a clear timeline at this point (but I'm sure reviewing my recordings+timestamps will help), but it's a slow march of this getting worse and worse.
Eventually, by the start of 2026, Douchebag has started to play music at volumes loud enough that the building is literally shaking. Either end of January or start of February I finally reach out to the building manager about this, which I really ought to have done sooner. They're not dismissive outright, but they basically downgrade this matter to just "noise complaint" in their notes, but I do get a nugget out of them that firmly confirms that Concerned has indeed also been making complaints. Two separate notices get posted on Douchebag's door - I do not know their contents because I don't snoop (make a note of this), and for a while Douchebag behaves. He's still playing music and podcasts, now at merely discourteous volumes instead of building-shakingly, and stopped marching around pounding. Life is good.
March 7th. I wake up around 6AM (right on time), and very shortly after (within minutes), someone who I assumed to be Concerned was yelling/ranting about Douchebag apparently having been playing his music at 4:30 AM, presumably at Douchebag's doorbell-camera judging by the lack of another party speaking. I'm not sure how I slept through it if music was being played at 4:30, but Concerned seems to indicate that they've got no choice but to leave (I don't remember exact phrasing as I don't record stuff going on outside, plus I had just woken up). After this point, Douchebag is back on his bullshit again on Sunday, but cows-out from March 9th through March 19th after I shout back down at him in response to another Thumping-Session. Life is good.
Today, March 20th - I'm busy working from home - Perfectly still at my desk, working. I'm not walking around or doing anything that should make "nuisance" levels of noise. Douchebag is going around, thumping, and multiple times makes particularly hard thumps directly under my feet at my standing-desk, where I HAVE BEEN STANDING STILL. I thump back once in annoyance, and he seems to take that as permission to accelerate, and starts running around doing more thumps. Eventually I hit my time for lunch break, and rather than eat at home with this shitload of fuck going on, opt to walk over to the pseudomexican fast-food restaurant I need not name that's a five minute walk from my apartment for lunch.
Walking back, his window and blinds are wide open, right next to the front door to the building such that in order to not look through it, I would have to either close my eyes or look into the other neighbor's window. In my casual glance, I see him standing in the window, staring directly at me, and our eyes lock - Reflexively, I snap and flip Douchebag the middle finger, which prompts him to very angrily accuse me of being a "creep" who is spying on the neighbors/him, and we quickly get into a shouting match yelling at eachother - I make it fucking known that I'm sick of his shit and want him to stop thumping on my ceiling, make it clear that I wasn't the person complaining about the music, and well, say some things that my lawyer would advise not to repeat online in anger at him. His response is to, 1 - Double-down on the "creep" accusations, 2 - Insist I am the nuisance who is slamming because "the first and last thing [he] can hear each day is [me] walking/"stomping around" (For ref, I can't hear my own footsteps, so X - Doubt), 3 - Claim that his "slamming" is just him "spring cleaning", and 4 - Proclaim that Concerned "isn't" complaining and that he turned down the volume. I don't have exact recording of what he said, but the more I play it back in my head, the more and more it sounds like flagrant Gaslighting, which only makes me more and more enraged at him.
I avoid contact with him for the rest of the workday - I realized that getting into an argument might have been a blunder since he's got a doorbell-camera which probably caught all of it), with a plan to contact Concerned and others who potentially could've been plaintiffs to Douchebag's behavior so I can get an aligned narrative on Douchebag's behavior established, but Concerned doesn't answer their door, and the other unit bordering Douchebag refuses to answer their door - Their dog barks and I hear them telling the dog to shut up, but no one comes. Oh well, time to head over to the theater to watch Project Hail Mary with my friends (really good movie).
Anyway, I get back from that, and once again try to establish contact with Concerned & Friends. I realize Concerned's lights aren't on, but I realize when I check the mailboxes that their Nametag is gone - They've, like they said they would, moved out. So, I try "Other Neighbor" - Once again, dog barks, and now two people yell at the dog to shut up, and neither answer the door. So uh, I guess I'm officially going-it-alone on this.
Anyway, I guess my gameplan now is to properly compile and formalize the evidence I've been building since August (+ the scraps from beforehand), and my account of this two years or so of continuous harassment in one big email - And I guess send it off to the Building Manager/Landlord (whomever the office email goes to) to make it clear and establish context, either proactively ahead of him possibly forwarding that doorbell-camera footage, or correcting the record if he already has (But I believe he hasn't, as no notices have been posted to my door, unlike how quickly they were when I complained).
But you know what? Fuck, it felt GOOD to look him in the eye and let my thoughts on him be known. I'm not going to fucking bend the knee to his Alpha Male bullshit. We ball, we STAND AND FIGHT where I'm from. TLDR I'm just going to assume they're crazy.

He's been running his fucking TV at night past 11PM on some playlist of Ancient Aliens/Alex Jones/Christian Nationalist nonsense and keeping me awake for hours on end, in addition to likely using a noisemaker positioned in his bedroom. Called the cops with a noise complaint multiple times about this, but every fucking time they claim they heard nothing. Was kept awake to four fucking AM this morning.
Anyway, I head out this morning to get some fucking breakfast since the stress of all this fuckload of shit is making me fall behind on doing dishes, and fuckknob comes out of his bedroom to confront me for calling the cops on him and basically fucking confesses to the scheme, and claims he sleeps with his TV on, the TV that is keeping me fucking awake all hours of the night.
Unfortunately, since I was mentally exhausted from my current 48 or so hours of being awake and trying to leave the premises to get some food, I didn't think to start recording until he started hurling slurs at me, and he stopped immediately upon me pulling up my phone to record.
I'm at my wits fucking end right now and at this point this is overt Constructive Eviction, which is giving me no choice but to seek out a new residence since the landlord and building manager are dragging their feet.
Unfortunately the real red meat was before I started recording. This guy can wind-down on command the moment cameras come out, so I've had a difficult time capturing just how much of a fucking psycho he is on video.

Unfortunately the real red meat was before I started recording. This guy can wind-down on command the moment cameras come out, so I've had a difficult time capturing just how much of a fucking psycho he is on video.
Saber sounds exactly like a Era member. Confronting a dude with that shaky bitchmade voice like hes about to cry. 
Time to crack that egg, sis.

I can't find if he was convicted, but I see the history of being charged and booked.

Honestly, both sound like cunts. 
He may be a loser, but his neighbor seems to be genuinely in war with him.

It's as others have said in that Era is far more lenient than some spaces on the Internet when it comes to AI, but apparently it's still not enough for some.

Minthara wrote:It's also telling that some want a rule on ALL AI threads, because they want there to be one anti-Ai thread and one pro-AI thread, rather than multiple anti-AI threads and one pro-AI thread.
It's a perception that there needs to be "fairness" here (there doesn't) and it's a pretty naked attempt to suppress the frequency of AI critique threads.
The rule is pretty simple: pro AI talk goes in the pro AI thread. That's it, that's all, that's the way it should be.
The attempts to be slick and control the narrative actively cause people to hate the pro-AI position even more.
Plus, everyone knows if the anti-AI talk was regulated to one thread, the next mission would be to try and get that thread closed.
Guys, is it forbidden to talk about rules?

It's not just that the thing itself exists and is wrecking people's jobs, art, the environment, and hobbies, it's the fact we have some people just assuming everything is AI now and getting insanely belligerent when they've decided something MUST be GenAI, regardless if it actually is or not. I still remember that thread about the Nintendo ad with the woman holding the Mario plush and people falling over themselves to call it AI, and apparently even asking the mods to re-open the thread after it was locked because it just "HAD" to be AI, and not... Just someone who's double jointed.
And then that extends to making personal attacks towards anyone that may not be 100% against AI. Regardless of angelsofdelusion's actual thread and what they posted here (and their ban on the prior page is very understandable), are we forgetting there was someone insinuating they were a pedo, and people stalking them to this thread? Most of the offenders may have been actioned, but the fact is they seemingly felt like it was "okay", maybe even "justifiable" to post those things to begin with. By all means say "fuck AI", criticise their OP, ask for clarification on what "misinformation" they were talking about, but the moment you start spewing personal insults is when it crosses the line, no matter how morally or factually correct you may be.
And for what it's worth, this place is generally more accepting of GenAI than any other community I frequent online, but somehow I haven't encountered the level of personal vitriol directed at people as I have here, and especially in that thread (though, to be fair... I don't often encounter those who're neutral or pro-AI elsewhere, so that probably factors into it, lol). If you can't see the difference between attacking someone's arguments and stances and attacking THEM personally... I'm not really sure what to tell you.
Basically.
That being said, I do agree with [USER=2881]JoeInky[/USER] that some people will use the guise of civility to argue in bad faith. But I feel like more often than not, those kinds of people show their asses eventually (or more often, very, very early). And while I wouldn't say everything should be ignored and not pushed back on, it's sometimes best to simply not feed the trolls. As [USER=143]B-Dubs[/USER] mentioned, stuff can spiral out of control very quickly when someone starts making baseless accusations or bad faith arguments, and at that point, it's best to quit engaging and report before it turns into an even bigger derailment s
hit show.
