Damn shame. It's crazy how certain people are taking victory laps considering they support bill clinton and andrew cuomo. The idea of any republican doing it is the height of shamelessness.

Really like how suddenly this is the guy's only problem as if they haven't been spinning for months about at least three others: Nazi tattoo, chud-like reddit/online posts and mercenary career.

Plus, like, most Republicans don't actually believe Trump is a rapist. They aren't excusing it.

sounds about white

Isn’t Marvel Rivals developed in China…by Asians? 

Demanding devs from other countries to adhere to US (woke) cultural norms has always been the weirdest shit to me. 

They'll cry ethnocentrism almost any other time but then unironically behave as if their own culture is superior and should supersede that of the international audience.

From a past thread but still: 

The time to find a suitable replacement for Platner was last year. I also dont buy the pearl clutching about moderates or voters on the fence going for Collins because of his private life. This country elected Trump, twice, who had done significantly more awful things. If Platner fails to beat Collins, it wont be because of his scandals.

I don't think the whole "people will just forget" is going to apply to this news.
People aren't just gonna shrug about a lack of consumer options.
As fucked as it is to say, dev layoffs don't impact the consumers directly. It's absolutely dire news and never should happen, but much the like Xbox One reveal, people will be far more passionately upset about something that impacts them directly in terms of their wallet.

As crazy as it is to say...

For people like me who have been living their entire life in this shithole, the regime being "popular" means nothing. Them killing, torturing, raping my people for 45+ years though, that's the thing I care about most.

Maybe you should also care about the Us and Israel committing terrorist attacks on the Iranian people too.

Now suddenly it's a messy line when we have other candidates supporting an active genocide, but the stupid tattoo is a bright red line for you?! The potential threat of genocide (due to the tattoo) is worse for you than an actual genocide? Am I getting this right?

These people aren't serious literally had a person saying they'd rather collins win.

So what I remember is that he was using racial slurs (a FGC guy using slurs… no way ) and he was a shit boss (allegedly).

And then, after he left, Skullgirls started to suck and waste every goodwill it had.

he made an i cant breathe joke on a stream and was accused of posting weird sexy stuff in the company slack, those logs eventually leaked and it turned out that everyone used the company slack that way. in addition it turns out the people accusing him had a private channel where they planned out stealing the company from here. mike counter sued these dopes and the case was settled this year:

the dopes who stole the game and company turned it to shit cause he was the only one doing actual programming work there   

anyway, the avatar game is really goddamn good judging by the beta. mike z remains the only white that can make a good fg.

Thread's from nearly a month ago, but lol at this exchange:

The most recent time liberals pulled the "lesser of two evils" thing was with Harris. Who is also more evil than Platner.

I'm sorry but how are Hillary and Harris more evil than Platner, let alone objectively?

Is there a tour of military service I missed that Hillary and Harris went on for the purpose of killing brown people?

What are we doing here?

Hillary is one of the people who sent him, and many more, to kill brown people.

They're both pro genocide for one.

That doesn't really address the post or point. Graham is a nazi who signed up to kill brown people in the military. The comparison isn't between Harris and Bernie Sanders.

Cause it's fairly blatant and obvious white washing? Because why are we doing a "less evil" let alone "objective" comparison involving someone who fucking signed up to the military to kill brown people?

A fucking nazi that people want to believe is a progressive because he says some shit? Whatever. Go for it. Believe that shit cause a white dude says it.

But why in god's name are we making declarative statements that the nazi publicly saying one thing with a history of terrible shit is somehow less evil?

Seriously? Make the lesser of two evils choice between him and Collins.

Don't try to sell that shit like he ain't evil or whitewash his actions because he paraded around some basic online-leftist shit.

Do you think Nazi grunts are inherently more evil than the political class that treats brown people as inferior and disposable? Serious question

Serious answer:

The answer to "do I think a nazi is inherently more evil than X" will almost always generally be a yes given the fact that they are a fucking nazi.

Nazis? You mean those feckless german dudes getting punched by Indiana Jones in those adventure movies?

What if the politician is enabling a genocide? Are they still less worse than a Nazi? Maybe they're on par?

The answer to "are politicians and Nazis equally bad" should not be "yes now let's go elect a Nazi"

And no, sorry - we are not fucking white washing his history. He's a nazi that signed up to kill brown people.

He maybe the lesser of two evils between him and Collins. Call him that, and move on.

That's fine, as long as we're not whitewashing the history of Hillary or Biden. I'm not American, but I find this sudden moral clarity from the Democrat class extremely hypocritical after all we've been through. The amount of death and destruction is beyond words and yet people can't hold their own politicians accountable for the barest of minimums.

Are we better off with Collins in the senate?

I see. Then you've already answered my proposition. You believe you must elect a nazi.

There's nothing left to say.

Your words are pretty hollow when you ignore monstrous, nazi-like actions of politicians, but are completely unflappaple when talking about a guy with a tattoo.

Collins is also a Nazi, and one who has caused more active harm both home and abroad than Platner by supporting, voting for, and endorsing fascist Republican policy.

Exactly. She is chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee and could have tried to stop ICE funding. She directly enabled actual Nazi shit like deporting people based on their tattoos .

Collins may be one of the worst nazis of all. She has given cover for the Republican party for decades with her fake "moderate" stance while assuring everything Republicans want passes. She is very good at it. But she doesn't have a tattoo I guess.

People are missing the forest for the trees at this point.

What I'm starting to believe is many people aren't anti-Nazi, they're just against what isn't giving them the path to pursue a political goal in the moment. If one Nazi is entrenched, they'll vote for the new Nazi because the new Nazi might open a door that was previously closed. Someone being a nazi is not a line in the sand.

Someone being a Nazi is not a line in the sand.

Over and over I observe: A Nazi is not totally morally reprehensible. A Nazi is not a deal ender. A Nazi does not represent genocide. A Nazi does not make one want to fight Nazis; there is already a fight, and Nazis are not part.

The old warriors are dead. The innocent dead are forgot.

Start again, mistakes and all.

Ok so let us present a scenario. Which in reality, IS our reality.

Nazi one says they will vote for polices that result in the death of 1000 people. He has no record to prove he will but let us just assume he will.

Nazi two says they will vote for policies that will result in the death of tens of thousands of people. They literally have DECADES on record proving they will. they will support genocide. They will support cutting all social programs including health insurance and welfare. Literally look that shit up.

Ok now reality check. It does not matter if you do not vote, one of these nazis will win.

What do you do? I know what I do.

Platner, even if the worst case scenario comes to pass, will be objectively better than her in every metric.

And after what I just said?

Please understand, this sentence you've written means nothing to me. This race is a grotesque whirlwind of political noise. It represents simultaneously the decay of my own nation, a lessening opinion of my fellow man, and a version of myself that I left behind telling me that I should not have discarded it because it was right all along, it just got to the correct answer early, and that what I called misguided cynicism was really just something that preferred to keep its eyes open rather than close them for the blind hope that future years filled with free voting, warm showers, comfort food and family holidays could be maintained with a light conviction to the better angels of our nature.

Go in peace, and send no more.

You are free to feel all that. That's valid. But you also completely avoid engaging with the fact of how utterly evil and dangerous Collins is. There is already a Nazi sworn in. She is directly responsible for the things you are feeling and experiencing. She shares part of the blame.

Then you are just like every other sideline non-voter. Responsible for anything that comes your way that you dislike.

I've been voting, nonstop, for years. This race is a beacon of everything I despise about how people are ground down to apathy and cynicism. And every response I'm getting about how I feel is only hardening this feeling. Bookmarking my response? For what? A political cookie? To make yourself feel better? Do you see why I described this as a game with no meaning? It comes down to a race between two nazis, the system has failed, and your anticipate your victory is a bookmark to taunt people? Your future where, yay, my nazi wins, is boiled down this way to a console war, to an argument about metacritic scores on a review thread. Is that real to you?

I seriously need to tap out before I request a self-ban. This site is shredding whatever fragments of hope it once helped me to build.

Yes, they absolutely are. The entire reason a comparison between Platner and politicians not even in Maine was invoked was for purposes of sanitization.

"Yes, he's a white nazi man who signed up to kill brown people but have we considered he's "objectively" less evil than [insert non-Maine candidate here]."

Followed by inane attempts at gotchas (see post quoted above). It is, absolutely, unequivocally, hand sanitization.

Otherwise, just say you are voting for a nazi who is the lesser of two evils and move on.

I think it'd just be easier and quicker to make a list of all the non-Nazis.

[BananaBlast]

So what I remember is that he was using racial slurs (a FGC guy using slurs… no way ) and he was a shit boss (allegedly).

And then, after he left, Skullgirls started to suck and waste every goodwill it had.

Skullgirls nerd here.🫡 Let me attempt to fill you in. 

It wasn't racial slurs. On the wake of George Floyd protests, there was a Skullgirls tournament charity stream. When one of the commentators said "That character is just being smothered by pressure!" Mike Z jokingly retorted "Well.... would you perhaps say that..... she can't breathe?". Hilariously awful timing. 10 seconds of silence. Many on twitter furiously demanded Mike Z's resignation. Mike Z apologized and donated to BLM.

Then sometime later, big titty cosplayer Bunny Ayumi had came out and said Mike Z had made her uncomfortable. Thing is though, while Mike Z was indeed autistic and simp-y in the DMs, it was ultimately initiated by Bunny Ayumi, who started with "I like that you put BDSM in your game, how kinky ". Mike Z did not sexually harass her, nor did he put her in a compromising spot. At worst, he asked awkward but ultimately harmless questions like "how does such a fine milady get the confidence to dress as you do ?"

Then, veteran Skullgirls dev/animator Mariel Cartwright had accused Mike Z of being an abusive creep, and announced her departure. And so did many others. Lab Zero was dissolved. Skullgirls was seemingly destroyed (at the time) and Indivisible cancelled all of its upcoming DLC. 
Mike Z declared "I am sorry, I have autism, and I will get therapy." and then left the internet. In the meanwhile, he was preparing a lawsuit against Mariel, which has since been settled.

Thing is, the 200 page court documents painted a pretty different picture: Mike Z and Mariel seemed to be close buddies, and it seemed she did a face-heel turn to try and take the company for herself. She had nice conversations with Mike, initiated sexual jokes, asked how she looked in short shorts, etc. But later, she turned around and gossiped behind his back. Then, during cancellation time, Mariel and her buddies attempted to shelve Mike. But Mike, being the owner of the company, fired them all instead, leaving the company to collapse.

I'm not gonna vouch too much for a man I've never met, but a lot of it reeks of disingenuous cancel culture. Mike may very well be an autistic weirdo who had his awkward interactions, but him being a sexual harasser, abuser, actual touchy-feely creep, etc. seems largely fabricated.

Edit: Beaten. Darn it.

Wasn’t Sign My Guestbook bitching about how democrats fault for Platner just yesterday?

Semi related:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/democrats-have-a-one-word-defense-for-supporting-graham-platner-trump.1550635/page-4

Platner is Maine politics, it's a state filled with old white people. The real story is that a whole bunch of old white people pivoted hard left in their politics and are also now extremely anti-Zionist and pro socialism.

He's an indictment on establishment Dems. Much like Mamdani, Rabb, hopefully El-Sayed and many more.

 

Pretty sure this asshole did the same as Guestbook.

[benji]

Inappropriate whataboutism, which of course implies there exists appropriate whataboutism.

Yeah, duh, like this:

No one here can really say if he was a "good" or a "bad' person, it's ridiculous to discuss his character based on anecdotes one way or another. He did, however, demonstrably kill someone brutally and very unnecessarily, and his character is not what's on trial. It's pretty hard to see anything unjust about the outcome, aside from the obvious ruination of two young dudes' lives.

I mean, the Menendez brothers have had extensive support and were resentenced in such a way as to be eligible for parole, despite the fact that objectively they murdered their parents as defined by the law. Hell, while Brock Turner didn't kill anyone, that rapist piece of shit still walked because of his "bright future." These types of opportunities and sympathies are not usually afforded to non-white folks.

Now, Karmelo deserves some time going by how the situation played out. But you cannot convicingly argue against the fact that the all-white make up of the jury and the length of time of the sentence means this kid was being made an example of in a country that has time and time again made an example of Black people anyway they can. Juxtapose this against the Asian store owner going free for killing a Black kid for no reason, and it's all just another reminder of systemic racism.

And y'all really aren't going to argue down Black people upset about the matter either. Like some folks are mad that Black folks some type of way about racism, and to what end? He got 35 years- you got what you wanted.

No they're not actually.

They're asking you to recognize the fact that a white defendant in the same situation wouldn't be treated this way.

Hell, not even an Asian defendant was.

(I think in general though people should recognize why they feel a frothing-at-the-mouth need for carceral punishment whenever people, regardless of race, break the law and whether or not this is a mindset that's actually conducive to any semblance of justice, rehabilitation, or bettering this country. Something tells me people won't though.)

Maybe crack a book and rigorously critique your behavior and beliefs.

yeah about a decade after release they removed a bunch of shit

Certain story illustrations were altered to remove panty shots, sexual and BDSM suggestive images and Big Band's story got altered for showing black man beating up by the police.

Red armbands with black umbrella on them in the Black Egrets' uniforms were removed (Nazi reference).

Soviet Announcer voice pack removed. Later replaced with a different voice actor.

Some voice lines removed.

Illustrations in the Digital Art Compendium (Digital Art Book) were censored in the same way.

Valentine's cross shurikens were altered as normal shurikens.

Professor Beef really loathes Mike Z

At least the rumors can finally be put to rest now.

Them trying to hide his involvement like this is also a huge sign that Mike hasn't changed, either

You don't go to these lengths to hide someone who has changed for the better

Seeing people mad on socials and it's hard to blame them. Z has ruined everything he's been involved with, and he somehow still has job security ESPECIALLY IN THIS DAY AND AGE

It'd be one thing if he had made strides to show that he's a changed person, that he's tried to grow, and that he's donated or otherwise tried *voluntarily* to help the people he's hurt, but he hasn't. He's a fucking snake.

found this funny ass image in the thread 
 

[BananaBlast]

People going "thanks, not buying the game anymore" at the Avatar Fighting Game over Mike Z are fake as fuck. Either they've already pre-ordered it, or weren't going to buy it at all (they don't play games)

Literally THE FIRST piece of information about the game was that it was going to be handled by Mike Z. And anyone familiar with Diesel Legacy would've immediately recognized it as in the same engine/style.
 

Sexual harassment charges, and when they started piling up, he basically just dissolved his company by having everyone but him leave rather than step down.

One bright spot luckily is that Autumn Games, the publisher of Skullgirls, told Mike Z to fuck off (he would be entitled to whatever residuals he's owed, but many who left formed Reverge Labs which now maintains Skullgirls).

They weren't "charges", they were allegations. Pretty big difference, asshole.

really hate that they buried the lead on this. he's a toxic piece of shit, and it would've been better to not have to hide the fact he was attached to the project, than havin to admit it now.

I doubt this will make the game fail; I am of the belief casual market will probably bounce off it for various other reasons, but this cost them some sales from those in the know.

The fact that they were so shady is a big enough sign that they were trying to hide it.

It wouldn't have been that hard to follow up with a "Yes, he's part of the team but..." kind of statement.

They willfully obfuscated.

"whY dIdn't thEy just leT uS know instead of hiDing hiM?"

Because you shitheads would've immediately started broadcasting how people shouldn't buy the game because of the programmer's allegations of being a weird klutz. Companies don't want negative press from you loons.

This is so wrong, that I cannot stop laughing.
Why? Why the fuck do you even need him? Why not even hiding him better? and if you have to hide him, why hire him in the first place?
Fucking christ companies are fucking stupid

Because he's genuinely talented and skilled. He programmed nearly all of Skullgirls core gameplay by himself.

Unlike you guys, he put his autism into something productive and super cool. You people just use it to hyperfocus on making others around you miserable.

Also, from that thread, The Young Turks are right-wing now:

What is Era's opinion of The Young Turks? Haven't watched much but caught their live show today that showed up on my YouTube feed. They addressed this and their take was to blame the victim for sabotaging him. They also stated that she can't be believed because there isn't enough evidence. I thought it was weird that Ana said his tattoo was more concerning than the rape accusation since I remember a story about her supposedly claiming a homeless man almost raped her or something (I could be misremembering). Are they the left wing version of Tim Pool? I started watching them occasionally during the last election but haven't watched much in a while until this.

Dogshit. They are pretty much right wing now.

They've basically gone full Nazi at this point, it's insane

They are pure trash. Cenk and Ana are washed up, victim-blaming losers who have also peddled right-wing transphobic talking points over the last few years.

The young terfs

TYT was one of those initially on paper leftwing youtube channels I was watchin as I started learnin more about Politics and gettin more involved, but they have gone more and more right wing as time has went on. Bein essentially backed by Polymarket, Ana herself pushin wild terf beliefs and bein very bigoted towards unhoused folk, and the channel burnin through younger leftist talents over the years.

They're just shitty bigots who pivoted back to Cenk's original strategy of angry right wing grifting when the money started drying up (probably in part because of his own dirty laundry getting aired out). They were supporting Trump's immigration lies and conspiracy theories in 2024. They're also big trans women haters.

It's the least surprising thing. They're also extremely antisemitic now and have spent the past few months whitewashing the likes of MTG, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens.

What the fuck.

Surprised you missed that, they have been dropping mask after mask off their faces.

there's a reason hasan doesn't talk about his uncle much

This is Cenk's last tweet

Man's gone straight up Nazi

I vaguely knew they sucked ass now but Nazi like? Damn.

No idea the main feeling but lol. Transphobic as hell personally (I see others replied as I was writing things)

Jesus what the fuck? I thought you might be exaggerating about "straight up Nazi" but you're not.

They've basically gone full Nazi at this point, it's insane

100%

They chase clicks and clout faster than I chase a cocktail on a Friday night.

(And they were that way for a lot longer than many people will admit.)

They're literally named after the group that is primarily responsible for the Armenian genocide, they've always been sus at best. I remember pointing this out in like 2012 or whatever.
