There's a gap between criticism of an article and what happened in this thread and it is vast. People went way over the line and that sort of thing needs to stop. Let's try this again without the toxic platform warring nonsense.

Lol goddamn it's a graveyard in here

Of course they weren't shilling for Xbox at IGN, what gave you that idea?

The crowd was simply very excited about the biggest year of Xbox and couldn't wait to learn more about the All Digital Xbox Series X Galaxy Limited Edition coming this holiday season.

AOC is top tier and very rarely misses imo. The fact that she has gained so much prominence is very fortunate for everyone.

Uhhhh, has she accomplished literally anything in her career?

That's why she hasn't missed

Her biggest achievement is staging a photo op at a parking lot fence and making everyone think it was a concentration camp.

She's just another one of those activists who got into government and then realised that it was actually difficult because you couldn't just dictate impose your own personal policies on everyone and everything.

To go on another long aside...
The Pride parade in Boston on Saturday demonstrated this all pretty directly - a parade, festivities that celebrate diversity and the progress made (and the progress that needs protecting) in LGBTQ+ rights. The organizers themselves and many marchers and attendees expressed their support of the Palestinian people and disgust with the Israeli government, and it was clear that this support was a welcome addition to the event.

However, there was also a group (60ish?) along the parade route who opted for more extreme protest - calling marchers for certain companies 'babykillers' (I can vouch for this as I had marched in the parade and heard it yelled at a nearby group), participants in genocide, screaming and flipping off the marchers (and the remarkably patient police, which draw their own controversy). Some used the inverted red triangle symbol which has antisemitic associations (though I have no idea if the intent was *that* triangle). Their signs had things written like 'F**s for Palestine', aiming to be provocative but mostly coming across as offensive/insulting to the very people they should be making allies of.

Pepsico employees were among those to receive the vitriol, I guess due to Sodastream or some things one of the companies Pepsico did in Israel. The marchers though, these were just ERG members - the groups at companies that exist to support LGBTQ+ employees - not the companies themselves. A great number of the marchers are just low level employees trying to make a living, are enjoying a chance to participate in a big celebration of joy, and have little part in company decisions. So they get yelled and cursed at, flipped off, witness an attempt to intimidate them into...something. They don't go home and decide to support the cause, they recoil away, they're put off from it rather than drawn in, and the cycle continues. The association many leave with for Palestine is not from the statement of the organizers, or the marchers or attendees who expressed their support for Palestine. They remember the negative, being called horrible things for daring to work for a giant company that in some far off branch does something that this group hates, and they stay away and lose interest in that cause.

Even cursing at the defense companies ignores context - RTX was in the parade and that company does more commercial work than military, and the Raytheon division is a major employer in MA. Basically every person in the state knows someone who works there, and those that do often take pride in what they do - after all parts of Patriot are built in MA. So those employees being called murderers when the work they specifically do has instead been praised by Ukraine for helping stave off genocide. Those people are now potentially lost to the cause, pushed away rather than drawn in.

Sigh... long story short, disruptive protests are effective when they garner the sympathy and support of someone. Seeing this in the CBS article linked:

Have to wonder if noodlesoup sees all this and rethinks his stint in jail, protesting the support of CAT on his university because they sell bulldozers...

The trans vs Hamas conflict is coming and it's going to make the Israel v Palestine thing seem like a fight in the school yard.

Pro-Palestinian supporters who support and chant for Hamas are not Pro Palestinian at all. It's that simple. Yet, it's astounding how a growing percentage of the protesters link themselves to Hamas and "the revolution" (NOTE: obviously not all or most protesters, but many). Sinwar and Hamas are more than happy to "sacrifice" (as they themselves call it) Palestinian lives to keep fighting the war. They only have their own interests in mind and have spent the last 2 decades brutally terrorizing the Palestinian people alongside the IDF, and are now cowardly hiding in tunnels and torturing civilian hostages while leaving innocent Palestinians to face the brunt of the IDF's cruelty. I quickly came to realize I'm best donating to Palestinian relief charities and completely avoiding these protests as a Jew because they often are not safe for our people and are becoming counterintuitive to Palestinian interests. I can only hope that movements like Standing Together grow in strength and numbers as a counterforce to the pro-Hamas protests.

Guy must realize if he is "pro palestine" that he is "pro hamas", hamas is the government of Palestine, supported by the people, and if he donates money to "Palestinian" causes it is all handled through, you guessed it, Hamas. Reminds me of the retards trying to jump through hoops for some altruistic cause, like the ones who donated to trans charities to offset their purchase of Hogwarts Legacy.

"Story Spark is a simple, friendly, easy-to-use partner in content development that feels more like a Buzzfeed quiz than a checklist," said Kamala Avila-Salmon, Lionsgate's head of inclusive content, announcing the project.

What examples of groundbreaking inclusion does the project present for people from underrepresented groups like women, people of color, LGBTQIA+, or disabled individuals?

What's so hard to understand? Your cushy first world parade doesn't matter when POC are dying due to an apartheid state that's propped up by a president that bends over backwards to claim how progressive they are to LGBTQIA+ folk.

What about Palestinian queers who are dying? yeah, you didn't think about that didn't you. 

Get off your high horse, steejee. I've seen you in the Israel/Palestine trying to talk down to our concerned brothers and sisters. You ain't slick.

How the fuck did this take four years to make? It essentially asks you again and again if your project is diverse and if it's groundbreaking. If you say no it tells you on the final page that diversity is awesome and that your story has untapped potential. Cool.

They only have their own interests in mind and have spent the last 2 decades brutally terrorizing the Palestinian people alongside the IDF, and are now cowardly hiding in tunnels and torturing civilian hostages while leaving innocent Palestinians to face the brunt of the IDF's cruelty.

What do Hamas have to gain from torturing the hostages? Just as it's important for pro-Palestinians to not put Hamas on a pedestal, it's equally important to acknowledge that they're not an organization devoid of reason. The only public statements we've received from rescued hostages is that they were treated as well as they could be given the circumstances of having bombs being dropped on them and on public facilities needed to keep them alive. And GIVEN the circumstances it would be difficult to treat them any better.

To say the hostages are being tortured is to regurgitate Israeli propaganda. Because if it were true, Israeli media would be parading those statements non stop, instead of letting the rescued and returned hostages recover in peace. If anything, the initial statements by the first returned hostages has taught the Israeli government that not letting hostages speak to the media would be prudent.
