the further erosion of trust of those with authoritative, learned voices

At least the talking heads on Firing Line sounded like they had read a book or two. 

I finally had to skip over when she talked. She loved getting that mic though. Her entire shick is just pumping out lies nonstop. 
This is why I'm ashamed to call myself a democrat or liberal anymore. Not only do they let them into the party they give them a mic to loudly spew their lies and ignorant talking points.
This is me at first..... 

then I'm...

Do you mean "progressives"? Because self-labeled liberals and most democrats absolutely despise BJG.

Right, you need to always tell it like it is

What the fuck even if this. I'm shocked that they can just 'get away' with it. And no media outlet dares to call Bob Iger and ask him.

Bob seriously, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

Ten years ago Brianna Wu managed to insert themself into a leading figure slash spokesperson slash target for an online only flamewar that literally didn't affect them in the slightest until they inserted themself in the forefront, and ten years later the exact same thing is happening all over again, and there is literally no possible understanding of how this could possibly have happened when there is almost no idelogical overlap with their enemies from ten years ago and their enemies today.

What the common factor between constantly managing to be the leading figure slash spokesperson slash target for online only flamewars of entirely different origins is almost entirely unfathomable.

Wow they really upped the production values on the latest season of Charmed

Just when you think they can't take Star Wars any lower, Disney says hold my craft beer.

This is the shit that the critics are giving overwhelmingly positive ratings and "the chuds" are apparently review bombing?

The point of reform is to free up resources so the state can go after actual harmful crimes like this.

I wouldn't mind the concept of force procreation if this scene wasn't so wiccan bullshit focused.

The following facts are indisputable: 

• We've never in human history had this much democracy and political freedom
  
• We've never in human history had this much wealth and prosperity
  
• We've never in human history had this much sustained peace 
  
• We've never in human history had this much individual freedom and choice in how we live our lives 
  

All of these doom and gloomers need to just unalive themselves and leave the rest of us alone.


Edit: It's a meme, but my points still stand

[Ribosome]

These are the downwardly-mobile children of the boomer middle/upper-middle class that grew up maybe a little more privileged than they'd like to admit. 

The relative decline in lifestyle is real even if the angst is a little over the top.

They gave Yasuke in AC a hip hop beat for his combat music and I don't know if people will love or hate it

Actually really weird how he’s brutalizing others. Past AC games I played had some restraint with gore. Here it’s like the doom slayer smashing skulls, but instead of cartoonish demons it’s ordinary looking Asian guys. All while he’s yelling about justice and shit?

I remember when Far Cry 3 came out people whined about a white guy killing a bunch of non-whites. That was point. Not quite Spec Ops The Line, but it was critical of him becoming this psychopath monster. Both ending were bad for him.

For some reason I doubt there will be the same revelation in this game.

It's kind of fascinating how Ubisoft goes straight to tropes that are usually criticized. Like compare his fighting style to Ghost of Tsushima. The style of samurai in Ghost mostly swift and elegant whereas Yasuke here is defined through strength and brutality. His alt weapon is just a giant club, he stomps people after they're down and even with a Katana he straight up impales people and lifts them up. Feels pretty loaded to me. 
Similarly it feels like dabbling into the white savior trope territory with the simple excuse that Yasuke isn't white. He walks through the village and all the Japanese peasants bow in front of him and he says how he represents justice for the people which again all feels loaded when it's all towards a foreigner (I'm not sure if even last samurai was that brazen). The most likely excuse is that it's fine because he after all isn't white but the framing of the poor natives who need saving seems to stay the same. You could also make the argument that since we had so many white savior stories what's the big deal with making a black savior story, but the problem with that is that it's still carried on the back of the natives so the arguments about the negative effects of a white savior story would still apply.

Is it a huge deal? Probably not, I thought when Last of Us 2 was criticized for having a boss fight against a brutish black guy it was overblown, but I find it curious how people who usually criticize this stuff now seem to be silent, maybe out of worry that it would give the Chuds a win.(I mean fuck, the same people will argue how orcs in fantasy are racist)

[Polident]

I disagree insofar as outsider savior stories are about the outsider joining the native population to repel other outsiders. Even the popular examples people whine about follow that pattern. This is an outsider slaughtering the native population, and I don’t think Ubisoft deserves the benefit of the doubt to say this is unambiguously a bad thing. That this is how they’re selling it says everything. Like Sniper Elite marketing how you can shoot Nazi testicles, here they’re selling that you can brutalize Japanese men and crush their skulls.

Look, it's real simple; everyone should just be able to pick whatever house they want wherever they want, and there would be zero logistical issues or inherent conflict.

This is a far superior system to the houses people most want being reflected in the price.

The feminization(?) of media is just crazy. Most female creators seem incapable of creating something that appeals to both men and women or keeps the spirit of the franchise alive.

It's also incredibly weird. Imagine if Michael Bay and Vin Diesel made Frozen 3, killed Elza in the opening scene and made it a movie about Hitlers invasion of the Soviet Union.
And when they're asked in an interview what happened to Elza and Frozen, they would fist bump like bros and say: "ELZA IS FUCKING DEAD CUCK THIS IS FOR MODERN AUDIENCES!".

Japanese men are responsible for anime...they probably deserve it honestly.

If they are bold enough to let Yasuke plow entire villages of waifus with his BBC after he murders the men I may give Oobisooft a pass.
