This is so absolutely dogshit and completely one sided in favor of Israel, which is rich with them complaining about one sided efforts to punish Israel in the UN. Everything is Israel, Israel Israel with scant mention at stopping the genocide they have been funding. Worked "relentlessly to deliver food and assistance" my fucking ass.

Fuck the vibes. Hope the protestors ruin DNC. These motherfuckers have learned absolutely nothing. Democrats started this genocide, they must be accountable for it.

I mean, Enslaved was an amazing game and I'd love a remaster.

I think it's a perfectly cromulent game. 

However, considering both games have have very nearly the same baggage (i.e. creators openly said something demographically offensive, but the games themselves are unremarkable in this regard), it is funny to see it positioned as an ideologically pure counter-example to Black Myth Wukong.

Random slightly-related thought but pole dancing shares an (arguably worse) negative stigma with breakdancing and both require immense training, skill, and strength to pull off properly. It is something I believe should be an olympic sport, along with breakdancing but I know that that would be a horribly unpopular opinion, and most people aren't at the point where they could get over "lol strippers at the olympics" yet.

Why wouldn’t be one sided? The war has been totally one sided, Hamas reputation is as a terror organization, Iran has been humiliated 2 times, most of the Middle East don’t want a regional war (they like Israel as a scapegoat, not as an outright enemy).

This protestors set the attendance expectations for this afternoon for up to 30-40k. That was obviously a mistake.

Seems like they didn't really organize that much compared to other rallies. You can't expect massive swaths of people to show up out of nowhere, no matter how righteous and just your cause is.

[kaleidoscopium]

Can’t be that the majority of Americans don’t support Hamas, they just forgot to advertise it. That’s it!

Bonus, pinknews won’t cover trans issues anymore going forward

In a bombshell leak from @PinkNewsStaff on X, Pink News' CEO Benjamin Cohen has been recorded signalling his intent to abandon the trans community to instead focus on being an "entertainment powerhouse".

In the leaked recording Benjamin is captured stating "We have to be careful." "It's the role of others to change narratives", going on to further say that covering transgender issues will cause them to lose advertisers.

[Potato]

Talk about the middle east?! While there's a monkey game being released this week by misogynists?! Priorities, folkx.

It's hilarious that a video game forum talking about a video game rather than international politics is something we can use to criticise them...

PinkNews refuses to cover trans issues on the basis it jeopardises ad revenue and is "contentious".
While Transgender lives in the UK and US are at risk, PinkNews abandons its transgender readers.

PinkNews used to be my go to, but they can fuck right off now.

Spineless. Absolutely pathetic.

Cowards, where's the proof that it costs them advertising.

Well fuck Pink News then.

This is almost certainly going to hurt them a lot harder than their fears about losing advertisers for covering trans issues.

Yeah I really don't know what their angle is (other than "poorly thought out") because despite what terfs would have you believe, most gay people are trans positive! It's like they're part of a larger community or something.

I would imagine there are a lot of writers there who aren't happy they're being thrown under the bus by the transphobic leadership - I wonder if this will last or if we'll be getting a retraction in a few weeks.

[Boredfrom]

I fucking hate Biden so much. I hope every remaining day he has on this earth is as painful and miserable for him as possible.

[kaleidoscopium]

To be fair, these freaks are the only ones I ever see sharing pinknews articles so it does seem to be an odd choice

[books]

Noodlesoup must be so disappointed at his "allies."

Edit- high school did just start back up this week, so protesters are a no go until final bell.

[DavidCroquet]

A demonstration in the city hosting the DNC, on the date the DNC begins? Is there any precedent for that??? I would never guess that something would occur in this location, on this date.

[HaughtyFrank]

Why can't they just protest against Israel's indiscriminate killing and not wish "glory to the resistance" that massacred Israelis on October 7th. Incredible how stupid people are

[EaldNarche]

welp, they might detonate the vest over this

[Boredfrom]

Even the excuse that they're trying to avoid scaring away advertisers makes no sense.

Nobody who is afraid of running ads on a trans positive website is going to be running ads on Pink News in the first place.

“Is not like there has been mayor controversies about gender politics or individual trans people doing shitty stuff in the last 2 years.”

Screw Black Myth, long live Enslaved. My all time favorite adaptation of Journey to the West and near the top of my list of games that need to be revisited.

Yeah man, fuck these backwards ass chinese developers and their shitty attitudes. We already have a GREAT Journey to the West game made by a team of people who have views that align with my own!



...ah, shit.

Pretty sure they also already decided that Trip from Enslaved is horrifically sexualized

I think it's safe to say that the tide has officially turned when even the biggest clown show cheer squad for your cause is abandoning you because you make them look so bad that advertisers are saying, "Yeah, nah."

noodlesoup is going to go to jail for this cause and y'all are laughing

[HaughtyFrank]

There is never a good excuse to have no female characters in your story. Its always a delibarate choice by the creator(s), it's not an accident.

Also just another example of how bullshit narratives spread. There are female characters in Wukong, not sexualized too which I'm sure would make Burka thread happy. It's just a soulslike kind of game so most of the characters you meet are inhuman enemies.

Into the Spider-Verse got a big laugh out of me.

Pretty weird reaction.

Into the Spider-Verse is absolutely one of the best animated movies of all time. It was hugely critically acclaimed, won the Oscar for Best Animated Film and was arguably the most influential animated film since Toy Story.

"I didn't like--"
"PRETTY WEIRD OF YOU. I mean, to not like...well, you were probably going to say something marvel-related, right? Let's check the bonafides here, and see where you come out looking pretty silly."

The fact that no one really seems to care in the US Politics thread is so fucking gross and disheartening.

Lies of P shows that you can be a non-Western studio and make a good game without being disgusting people. If only the rest of the industry would learn from them

Moderators owe no one an explanation for bans—crush dissent by any means necessary, invent any excuse to impose total control and break the will of the proletariat!

Joining John Deere, Harley Davidson is no longer involving themselves in DEI activities among other “progressive” policies. 
Awaiting the era thread

Era is going to boycott Harley Davidson and John Deere.  It will be the first time they actually boycott what they said they will.

lol they edited it into "newer studio" which makes no sense at all
