I can’t decide if I’m proud or sad that this answer was buried so deeply into this post

This is embarrassing, bro

I may take slight issue with your last statement. To be clear, I’m not trying to have a “dishonest discussion”, I genuinely don’t understand the distinction and there isn’t really an article or anything here for me to clarify.

I apologize, I sincerely wasn’t trying to imply you were being willfully dishonest or disingenuous, I was just trying to offer the correction to ensure clarity. I promise, I intended no offense and did not mean to imply anything about your character. I hope this clears that up and am legitimately sorry if you felt wronged.

I believe the objection is not to Snoop for his gang affiliation, but rather to the dance specifically which is being claimed as a more overt gang symbol, sort of like if they added the blood hand sign.

Of course I don’t think this is even remotely an issue of concern for most of the reasons others have already commented on this post (it’s a pop culture thing now, essentially), but I do think it’s worth acknowledging the distinction between person and symbol here to be able to have honest discussion of the topic.

their “latest news” is solely articles about people being arrested for using pirate streaming services or selling loaded firesticks.

So just to be clear, the damage then is not from the actual piracy or due to any invasion from the source of the piracy, but rather 100% of the danger comes from the enforcement of piracy’s prohibition.

Yes, definitely sounds like piracy is the problem here 🙄

They should because who the fuck is a corporation to dictate what is and is not appropriate? What the fuck qualifies them to the moral arbiters of society?

The Remake is beautiful and isn’t a bad game, but every second that I’m playing it I keep asking myself “would I be having more fun playing the original?,” and every single time my answer is an immediate “yes.”

If they had kept the same gameplay mechanics (yes, including traditional turn-based combat), the Remake might have been my all-time favorite game. As it is, it’s just a very pretty shadow of what it could have been.

Yeah imo FF12 was the last legit FF game. FF15 is fine, but doesn’t feel at all like FF to me, and I have zero interest in FF16.
