@beerknight1@MrkelsGame This line of logic always pierces. They'll toss all sorts of labels. Anti-woke. Reactionary. Grifter. The moment you point out all of those things are symptomatic responses that require a problematic cause to exist in opposition to in the first place... suddenly crickets.
@Maladdicted@swappedcom@CultureCrave "(dropping Lara Croft) is a GREAT idea."
& yet, every time the series gets even close to flirting w/ this either via prominent side characters or making her share the screen w/ someone like Trent the fans reject it.
The only time it remotely worked was in the top-downs.
@TedwerdVT@dom_lucre "they not replacing"
It's a GOW game w/o Kratos. That simple.
To go back to the TR analogy, trying to make a TR game w/o Lara, even as a spin off would be incredibly unpopular for very obvious reasons.
@AwldSossige@tracewoodgrains "unpopular in the real world"
& yet, those ideologies still come to dominate institutional power, b/c liberalism is lazy & complacent.
The extremes aren't going to destroy liberalism, they're going to outlast its own negligent self-imposed extinction.
@Loster@lewis_goodall There's no reason for Sikhs to carry knives in the UK. Protesting otherwise is a failure of assimilation.
You don't care about the father's words. If he were demanding scorched earth violence that would be clear. You care about using them as an excuse to bury the story.
@DerpyWolf10@RealMikeHollow "No one cares if the character is male because that is the societal norm."
No it isn't. Modern writers just don't babysit male leads like they do female ones, the latter of which tends to produce rather formulaic & boring characters.
@DerpyWolf10@RealMikeHollow "No one would care if a series that is usually woman piloted suddenly pivoted to a man."
They absolutely would. TR w/o Lara would be a fucking stupid idea, & many fans consider splitting play time w/ a new male character in Angel of Darkness is one of the reasons it failed.
@Loster@lewis_goodall B/c the murderer & his family are proof even 2nd (& beyond) gens don't assimilate or integrate even when UK born.
It also proves the two-tier is true & the system presupposes based on race, just not the way the left thinks it does.
@MearsMeerkat@AFarCryAway@Rurikhan Gotta love the reply & block nonsense.
Where exactly were the cringeworthy talking jelly cubes in previous GOW games?
@AwldSossige@tracewoodgrains Marxists haven't gone anywhere. They're just not the only loud voices in the room anymore.
Liberalism has been bleeding numbers to the extremes for decades, & it being the buffer between them means it will be the first casualty once its unsustainable system starts to collapse.
@UzuNeymar@prescottcraig@lewis_goodall@dialoguewriter & if he were calling for a bloodbath, you'd be alright w/ that then, right?
Right?
Of course not. You're using these words as a shield to make an inconvenient story go away, not b/c you give a shit about them.

@gaunt_maureen@Doormauss@lewis_goodall Maybe you should have, if only to get out of your ideological bubble & see how much the pitiful status quo you're trying to rally around inspires little more than revulsion in others.
