Firebreak and Katamari have me excited.

Beat Rebel Transmute, now I’m on Astronite and Zapling Bygone. Still also slowly going through Flintlock: Siege of Dawn.

And I’m sorry you cannot understand how disrespectful and unworthy of respect it is to hold the position to blame people for things beyond their control and for simply trying to live their life and enjoy the things they like.

People who do that are shitty people.

Rights don’t come from an authority. They are inherent aspects of existence. If you need an authority to legitimize those rights then they aren’t “rights”, they are privileges.

I don’t need an authority to legitimize the human right to self defense, to food and water, to shelter, to autonomy, etc…

I will exercise those rights regardless of what any body of authority dictates.

Cool. I don’t respect the opinion of those who disagree with this take. Those who blame the individual for systemic issues that are beyond their control are by definition reactionary. They react to the individual action and assign them blame for something that is not their fault rather than take into account the system factors that surround these choices.

So I really don’t give a shit if you don’t respect my opinion. I don’t respect yours.

Yea it’s children’s media. It’s never been touted as a literary masterpiece. That doesn’t change that people love the setting and wish to enjoy the media that takes place within it. I’m not here to criticize the works themselves on their literary merits for being copaganda and liberal hogwash.

The problem people have is that it is tangentially funding her, through the royalties she receives from how our system has structured ownership that entitles her to reimbursement. Yet, I guarantee, if all these people looked behind the curtains of the things they buy, then they will find they routinely “support” similar people through that same system of convoluted ownership funneling funds into their bank accounts.

So anyone trying to villainize people for enjoying a media franchise that they hold dear to them is a straight up hypocrite whose opinion I give zero shits about, unless the person laying that criticism literally has never engaged with the capitalist markets in any capacity.

Fuck your “legal context”. I do not respect the authority that decides what is or isn’t “legal”.

My advice is to organize community militias and stand in the way of an oppressive regime, to defend their community against those who wish to do them harm. If that means a fight, then it’s a fight. So be it. You come to my community armed and ready to kidnap people and you bet your ass is going to be shot on sight.

It absolutely is. ICE is a “legal” terrorist organization that is committing crimes against marginalized individuals. They are to be treated as a threat, as their only role is to do harm against my community. It is absolutely well within the right of a community to defend themselves against organizations that only seek to do harm.

ICE gets the same treatment as Nazis.

No, buying the product=! Supporting the author. Again, since you seem to be dull I’ll repeat for you “learn to separate the art from the artist”.

I’m also gonna stop reading cause it’s clear you don’t think at all. Your position is shortsighted and myopic. Learn to think critically and stop blaming individuals for systemic problems.

Simple minded idiots like you are why the world is going to shit.

Except it isn’t illegal to enslave people. It is 100% legal if used as punishment for a crime as decided by the state. It is literally encoded into the 13th Amendment

Those “successes” are simply concessions from the state to lull the population back into complacency.

Violence is a tool. It is neither inherently good nor bad. It is how that violence is used and perpetrated and the context around why it was employed is where the heart of the matter lies.

Someone who is violent against Nazis or those of equivalent ideology in self defense? Absolutely and unequivocally justifiable.

Someone employing state violence to detain civilians because they were born on the wrong side of an imaginary line? Absolutely unjustifiable and deserves to be stopped, even if it means employing violence in self/community defense.

Pretty much what all anarchist theory has been proposing, at least when it comes to revolutionary action.

This is about what I expected of a study like this.

Only slightly disagree.

Inquisition and Veilguard aren’t bad games. They are each fun in their own ways and cater to certain audiences.

That audience just so happens to not be in any way related to the Dragon Age fandom.

You mean being able to have the confidence that you can ride a bike without being subjected potential bodily harm at the hands of an apathetic drivers means more people will choose to ride their bike?

Color me shook.

At least you’re honest with yourself.

They do that shit on purpose to piss off the car behind them for daring to “tailgate”. I’ve had former friends and family who brag about it.

Literally putting a random person’s life on the line for a small bit of petty revenge at a perceived slight.
