The point is that black and indigenous people in Australia are against everything she represents: white privilege, control over a culture that the original intent was to fight against oppression that Raygun capitalise on, and so on.
I posted indigenous representatives talking about that.
Again, this is about whiteness, doesn't matter how Rayguns defenders online or even here try to frame it.
Black folks are mocking her.
Indigenous Australian are angry.
Marginalised people were denied funding for her to rise (this happens not only with this event).
What else does whites on this forum need to get their shit together and say: "ok, there is something going on here"?
Maybe another white PHD in Indigenous/black culture to explain it to you all? lol Indigenous Australian's are angry...why?
Is there some allowed-to-breakdance deputization going on here? Aboriginal Australians certainly didn't create the sport (which is the qualification to participate/discuss/think about/look at breakdancing, apparently).
The only indigenous person who has commented has said nothing about race whatsoever

No doubt that BitterRoot is a Nep alt. Just like her to co-opt other peoples positions on the basis of skin colour.

The usual australian mediocrity.
I love this follow up tweet from the same twit
She's not wrong. She's also the same type of person, just with brown skin and even more privilege.
I love when these types fight among themselves.

Kinda agree with dbag smasher in a way. I think they should continue on UE4 except they are sure that if they switch to 5, it will be smooth and not increase dev times.
Square is a company where engine issues are not new... even those are their own internal engines.
Square and bad decisions go hand in hand.

Are these the Australian aboriginals that still won't allow women to play the didgeridoo? They even find it offensive if a woman on the other side of the planet plays one.
So using the resetera purity test they need to sit down and shut up. Am I right girls?

OH NO! Have a feeling Imane will fade away with nothing as time goes on and the Trans Mafia will cry bitter tears.
God I hope they get to confirm if it's true she's intersex.

I guess you record it all anyway and let it speak for itself, see if any corroborative texts materialize
also kind of important to know that if suddenly having this knowledge would include the surrounding context, like if they say "what's the ancient word for river" and all you can say is "plork" rather than "well actually the eastern dialect referred to all bodies of water as plork so it's not really 'river' specifically per se, but the western dialect in the waning days of the civilization eventually developed a different concept for them, calling them plork-ur, which eventually developed into plorker"
I suppose ALL means you also know both dialects and the fact that they had different words for them, and also how the word evolved over time? like presumably this would include knowing all slang words from every era, so for example if asked you could speak in 90s Japanese, 80s Japanese, 70s Japanese, 60s Japanese, all the way back, for all territories?
you would know that for a period of 2 years starting in 1991 a small town in Idaho began locally referring to spatulas as "whop-danglers," since you're fluent in 1991 Idahoan
I mean if not, if this is too granular, then what's the cutoff, how long and how broadly does a word have to be in circulation before it enters your all-encompassing vocabulary
I mean, is practically a super power, you think small if you are limited to academic translation. Hint: have you notice how people, even in this day and age, get news information wrong when is from other languages… you pretty much bypass both human and Ai translators and get valid information way before many news agencies.

Whatever you do, don't ask to see domestic violence statistics for Australian Aboriginal communities. That marks you immediately as a racist.

I must have missed the Kofi for knee pads. Truck stop car parks can be a bit rough I hear...
In culture war terms:
You can callout every single time some retard says “look, the director from “The big tits of my anime waifu” says that loves Nazis”.
And you can actually translate what he actually said: “He said 'Feminazis are my kink’

Try: Information Broker.
You practically has fresh information from everywhere from the world before anyone outside those countries.
Seriously, you are the dude that bats for AI but cannot think in how to use the power of understanding any language of the planet?

The power is in understanding the nuance and context of every conversation from both sides. That's a magical ability in business and political negotiations.
