Given the amount of homoerotism in Warhammer 40k, this wouldn't surprise me (2 of the original Space Marine chapters created were the Rainbow Warriors and The Dark Angels, the latter named after a Poem by gay poet Lionel Johnson (who they also tributed by naming the Primach of the DA, Lion El'Jonson, after him), their base, The Rock was named after a largest gay bar in Nottingham in the 80s and their how theme of hiding a dark secret that everyone already knows is... Do I even have to explain?!, sorry bigoted fans) but I've struggling to find any official source for this besides it been talked about in many places were gay and wlw 40k talk like reddits.
That and it makes me wish their was a video game about a badarse warrior lesbian/wlw with an in-depth romances that discussed issues of homophobia and the struggles in being in a wlw relationship.

Sorry, bigoted fans!

His videos are free for all to watch. If anything, he is taking money from the capitalists and giving back to communities. No, see, he operates within the system, which is the problem even though no individual can do anything.

This whole thread is that. Is it greed that motivates basketball players? Isn't it interesting how desiring that the cops take away other people's wealth and force them into slave labor for use by a monopoly corporation isn't considered "greedy"?

Ironic, considering how trying to reason with women usually goes.

On the subject of Mr. Beast
Nepenthe and Booshka must know that Core-Periphery/ World-systems Theory is outdated? They brought it up like half a dozen times in that thread but wasn't it discredited with post-cold war studies?
I'm guessing they like it because it has the most victims for them and a moral righteous vs evil story.

Well the answer is in your face obvious, they're idiots and the extent of their rigorous academic study is knowing how to google scholar papers that tenuously support whatever gish gallop shite is at the front of their brain. They're at least smart enough to select the articles by dudes at Harvard to bamboozle the horde, who are so stupid that more than half of them don't understand that losing 100 bucks means you lost 100 bucks

The problem is if said people want to interact with real people, they'll be mysoginistic as fuck because their only reference is from such games that treat women as dolls meant to satisfy their perversion.
If they keep their loneliness to themselves, technically not much harm should be done, except of course, to themselves.

$10 for a ROM of a shit NES game that bombed when the movie was popular. And this is a 'clearance" price? LRG can go fuck themselves.
At some point, you have to feel a sense of shame talking about capitalism's ills in a video about saving 100 dogs, especially while sporting an Activision/Blizzard/Microsoft avatar. The whole forum has become a caricature of a caricature.

FACT CHECK: Lucio represents a challenge to the hegemonic system of capitalist white supremacy by ... eh, I don't want to look up Overwatch lore to do this bit and you know how it's going to go anyway.
Also, never forget that the staff handwaved the actual death of a game developer along with an actual law enforcement investigation at Activision by claiming it happens at every developer.
If I weren't so lazy I'd copy that meme with the Cuphead sunflower. The angry sunflower would be ranting about watching a video of a rich guy saving hundreds puppies while the happy sunflower would be playing games from a multi billion dollar corporation known for allowing widespread sexual harassment that led to at least one suicide.
