@bumpkinsTV I want both types of games. Diversity of games to play is good imo. I haven't played stellar blade so I didn't have an opinion. My gay roommate and his friends have played it and said it's good so I'm inclined to believe that it actually is fun.
@babybeginner@Toxicity_Rater I've never seen a fictional scene of a woman being assaulted by a man criticized before. It's not real. This whole conversation is deeply disingenuous. Transphobic brain rot has made you people retarded.
@ruggud@g_fiend@GamingKyuu39958@19_kilometers@Dexerto In the US a society we got fatter, more angry, less social. It forced expensive cars on people as we designed car dependent infrastructure. It erroded kids development and independence. It isolated and disadvantaged people who can't drive. Lobbiests destroyed public transit.
@sleepmancer@ShinMarvelous It also goes against The Silmarillion. Only Eru Ilúvatar (god) can create. The dark lords can't only twist their creations. The orcs no matter what was done to them are ultimately creatures of God thus they can be redemed.
Ask an American about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
A substantial portion will tell you it was necessary.
Tragic, but necessary.
It ended the war.
It saved lives.
Hard choices in impossible circumstances.
Now ask them how they would feel if another country had done it to an American city.
Watch the framework collapse in real time.
Suddenly "necessary" is not a category that applies.
Suddenly there are no hard choices and impossible circumstances.
Suddenly it is simply: a crime. An act of war. An atrocity.
This is not hypocrisy in the ordinary sense.
This is a two-tiered moral universe so deeply internalized that most people living inside it cannot see the structure at all.
Violence done to Americans is atrocity by definition.
Violence done by Americans requires context. Requires understanding. Requires a discussion of the strategic situation.
This is the psychological furniture.
This is what empire builds inside the people who benefit from it.
And it is almost invisible from the inside.
They lied to you about Vietnam.
They lied to you about Nicaragua.
They lied to you about Afghanistan.
They lied to you about Iraq.
They lied to you about Syria.
They lied to you about Libya.
Why in the world would you believe anything they say about Iran.
@ValHighwind@indicmawntee@NiciBubba What lovely rules we have and demand others follow. Not like our rules based order is utterly full of shit and we have no business being there in the first place.
@SilentPatriot70@indicmawntee We probably sold it to them. Like what fantasy are we living in were we train the terrorists, destabilize their countries, make up reasons to invade them, then act justified.
@ValHighwind@indicmawntee@NiciBubba We bomb the shit out their countries. Murder their friends, parents, loved ones. On the other fucking side of the planet from where we live and you want to argue were justified in murdering as many children as needed to ensure that continues?
@strawhats This is the scene that cemented my fandom of the show. I went for this is a cool, weird anime this I might continue to watching over a thousand episodes and buying tons of one piece merch.
@chusquies@nicraymond@soigomaa So just to be clear, you'd be ok going in for an entirely unrelated procedure then they put their fingers up your ass to check your prostate while you're out?
