@Duhlorean98 “Idiotic thumbnail”?

It’s literally just a shot from the trailer.

“That’s when I started feeling like I wasn’t making games anymore,” he said. “I was following a spreadsheet, some elusive marketing-analysis spreadsheet that no one could present clearly. I kind of felt like this isn’t the gaming industry I wanted to work in.”

Developers like this can fuck right off.

Gamers, critics, and audiences have been talking about the problems with the gaming industry for years; have been trying to tell you for years. But you ignored them in the interest of adhering to an algorithm designed around a corporate agenda.

Then reality smacked you in the face when the game failed and now you're fishing for sympathy.

@Polygon Have you ever asked yourself why nobody takes you seriously anymore?

Even women hate #Supergirl.

The idea of people hating it because it stars a woman ignores why male-centric films like Masters of the Universe also flop.

Many recent female superhero movies have failed not because they feature women protagonists but because they prioritized overt messaging about “being a woman” or “taking down the patriarchy” over compelling narratives, character development, and simple entertainment. These films are often crafted specifically to exclude or lecture male viewers, resulting in shallow stories that lack universal appeal.

The first Wonder Woman succeeded precisely because it delivered a strong, heroic journey that resonated with wide audiences, proving that female-led superhero stories can thrive when they focus on substance rather than ideology.

Audiences rejecting these films mirrors the reaction to other underperforming films, regardless of the lead’s gender. Movies like The Flash, Morbius, and Kraven the Hunter also flopped due to weak scripts, poor pacing, and lack of emotional investment.

Successful superhero films, male or female, typically feature a true hero’s journey: a flawed protagonist confronting weaknesses, growing through adversity, and earning their triumph. Too many recent female-led efforts skipped this foundation, portraying their lead as already perfect while the rest of the world simply needed to learn to accept them. This approach is preachy and unrelatable.

It also does not help when actors or creators openly insult or alienate portions of the audience. When marketing and commentary emphasize that a film is “not for men” or frames criticism as toxicity, it creates unnecessary division. Audiences, largely male in the superhero genre, respond to well-crafted stories that respect their intelligence and investment, not lectures on identity. They do not reject female heroes; they reject mediocre storytelling dressed up in empowerment rhetoric.

Which means we, the consumers, effectively own nothing. We just rent games from you now, and you can revoke or change that rental agreement whenever you want. This is a terrible fucking move, Sony.

A critical failure for Wil Wheaton.

Audiences simply want entertainment from actors, not political lectures or moral grandstanding.

In an era where celebrities are constantly pressured to broadcast their views on every issue, The Rock’s stance is a refreshing commitment to focusing on his craft rather than inserting himself into partisan debates.

There is considerable value in individuals who simply do their jobs without lecturing, criticizing, or pandering to audiences, as we’ve seen many flops and derailed careers when the opposite occurs. Johnson has built a successful career by delivering action films, family comedies, and crowd-pleasing roles while largely staying above the fray.

His approach stays true to a time-honored social norm: it used to be understood that one did not casually discuss religion, politics, or money in polite company because these topics divide rather than unite. The choice to withhold his views shows maturity and respect for the diverse audience that supports his career.

The demand for celebrities to weigh in on every issue stems from a modern impulse to know everything about everyone, turning every public figure into a potential target for an ideological purity test. This pressure does little to improve discourse and a lot to undermine the very escapism that entertainment provides.

There seems to be an entitlement among some people in entertainment who believe celebrities owe the public not just their talent but their political alignment. This mindset only alienates large segments of the audience who prefer performers to remain performers. Johnson’s choice to prioritize work over activism respects individual privacy and allows fans to enjoy his output without requiring that they agree on unrelated issues.

Choosing silence on divisive topics is not cowardice; it is often the more responsible and mature decision in a polarized environment.

Wil Wheaton called Dwayne Johnson a 'coward' after the action star said he is 'going to keep my politics to myself' in a recent interview. https://t.co/kuna7iwed5

If you say so.

@fiercepatricks If you think showing a heterosexual relationship is an "agenda" after the endless stream of wokeness that has invaded Hollywood over the past decade, you are beyond delusional.

🚨 Targeted Attacks on Caitlin Clark Continue in the WNBA

When does this stop?

June 22 Fever vs. Phoenix Mercury game – Caitlin Clark (#22) assaulted on the floor: knee to groin, fist to ribs, fist/forearm to neck/throat as the Phoenix player (#25) gets up. These targeted hits on the league’s biggest star have gone on way too long.

Enough is enough. Suspensions NOW for player safety and game integrity. Clark carries the spotlight – give her fair play, not cheap shots. Refs failing again.

Fans are fed up. WNBA, do better!

We are witnessing in real-time the greatest squandering of a golden goose in sports history.

I simply cannot understand the WNBA’s continued insistence on not spotlighting Caitlin Clark. She has been the league’s primary growth engine since entering the WNBA. Her presence has driven record viewership spikes, sold-out arenas, and explosive merchandise growth, with player-specific sales surging over 1,000% following her arrival. Her jersey has consistently led WNBA sales and ranked as the second-best-selling basketball jersey across both the NBA and WNBA in recent years, trailing only Steph Curry.

Omitting her from a celebration of the league’s history reveals a striking lack of self-awareness and a front office living in denial of the “Caitlin Clark Effect.” Her exclusion highlights a larger pattern of the WNBA being reluctant to fully embrace its biggest star and the transformative impact she has brought. By sidelining Clark in favor of a more curated narrative, the WNBA is alienating the very momentum that has elevated it.

True growth requires acknowledging the players driving it, not pretending the surge happened in spite of them.

Celebrating a 30-year history should involve showcasing the greatest players who have left their mark on the league, not just current popularity contests. Icons like Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird, and Maya Moore deserve recognition for their enduring contributions. While present players like Paige Bueckers are talented, she has only just entered the league and has yet to achieve anything of comparable significance. Prioritizing newer faces over established legends in a milestone anniversary is completely misguided and disconnected from the league’s actual legacy.

@awfulannouncing I get what he was TRYING to say, but he completely failed to word it properly.

[Max Twain @MaxTwain24]

Never has a photo so completely encapsulated the total and complete failure of the @wnba’s leadership.

Never in the history of sports has a golden goose been so deliberately squandered.

[3rd Drawer Down @3rdDrawerDown]

@WNBA @Fanatics You do realize that Caitlin Clark has brought more attention & money to your sport than everyone on this poster combined?

[3rd Drawer Down @3rdDrawerDown]

@screenrant ScreenRant is still glazing as they have yet to catch on to the fact that they’re losing their foothold to social media influencers. Variety of all places somehow had a more based take on this movie.
