If we’re trying to avoid WWIII, yes. It sucks and is unfair, but the responsible choice isn’t always the fair choice.

*Jeez y’all, I’m not saying to just roll over and die here. There are other ways to respond that aren’t “send an international force of soldiers into war, all but guaranteeing worldwide war between nuclear powers”. There’s a necessary calculus here that’s just a few steps above grade school level retribution.

Not to say people shouldn’t leave Twitter, but like…this isn’t going to devastate him. He’s in the inner circle. Twitter could burn down and I doubt he would even notice.

Worth considering that if Twitter ever ends up on the fediverse, the same will apply to any instance it federates with. Lemmy may be great because it’s not corporate, but its functionality necessitates that it be one of the least private versions of social media available.

Some determitive nominalism.

He’s right, but not for the reason he thinks. AAAs continuing to prove indies are the best place to find interesting games.

Surprisingly relevant to me as yesterday I ran myself over with my tank in Factorio for the first time ever XD

This shit is why I resist proprietary apps like this as much as I can. Removing functionality from the website and hiding it behind an app is so shitty and I’m not playing along just so they can sell of the info they get from it.

The dog(?) one is my fav too.

Arguing a single point ≠ claiming to be “right all the time”. What’s your next condescending bit of “advice” that’s totally not a poorly disguised character attack?

Apologizing? For what?

Lol. The admonishment for “misusing” gamergate by citing horseshoe theory as if it’s in any way applicable is hilariously on point. Good luck with that “enlightened” centrism.

What does this even mean?

Its not about the inclusion of a character, but about how a specific scene with that character is handled.

You didn’t read my comment, did you? Like the part where I specifically mention that? I don’t care if the scene was shot on a camcorder for a student created after-school special on a PTA budget. Acting like that’s the problem instead of any of the reactionary bullshit to it is not the viewpoint of someone who truly cares about these populations. Where’s the “helpful” article about shitty hetero romance scenes in countless movies/shows/games and how we should do better there? Those don’t cause a blip. But this? This is a “problem”. Fuck that.

and doesn’t even use the games existing lore for transgender people but instead uses modern terminology.

This reads like those losers that rage about black people in The Witcher because it’s “noT hIStoRIcaLlY AccuRAtE”. Bemoaning “modern terminology” is so pointless. They’re also speaking modern languages through the majority of the game. Gonna write a Forbes “article” about that, too?

I just want to voice my opinion that not every article about video games needs to be shared/promoted, particularly gamergate-lite shit like this. “Only” whinging about how non-cis white male characters are included in games is hardly any better than the chuds bombing the game on metacritic.

I’d also argue this violates your own sub’s rule (rule 9), not because it’s about “political” genders, but for explicitly calling peoples’ existence “political messaging”.

What frontend are you using that shows the admin/mod responsible?

EA: It’s in the grave!

(Hopefully)

Journalists really milking that headline.

I selfishly want someone to get around to making RES for Lemmy already. The number of amazing features in that add-on was fantastic.

I actually believe the same thing about that movie. It was all way too clean and quick. Most people give me weird looks when I mention it, though, hah.
