Last week this guy told me I work for “white supremacists” after he found out I work for Turning Point
Here he is screaming in the face of a white man in an attempt to harass and intimidate him outside of the Karmelo Anthony trial.
Truly insane people.
🚨For those who say there is NO election fraud in California:
The DOJ just prosecuted Brenda Brown for paying homeless people to register to vote under FALSE addresses.
OMG caught her on hidden camera doing this illegal activity in LA.
Hey Jasmine…
Black pilot here.
I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.
I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.
Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.
Nobody lowered the standards for me.
Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”
That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.
Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.
I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.
And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.
They care whether the pilot is qualified.
Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.
And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.
Setting aside that left-wing video games activists want to dismantle and rid the industry of the "male gaze," which they despise... there's also another aspect of the uglification and masculinization of female characters that maybe isn't talked about enough.
You see, leftists believe that gender is a social construct, and that when you create female characters who behave/look/act differently from their male counterparts, you're perpetuating said social construction.
So when you see characters like Faye from God of War Laufey, and she's almost indistinguishable from a man even down to her hardened, wrinkled, busted up appearance... that is completely intentional. The goal is androgynous design: blurring the lines between fictional men and fictional women.
But this is where western game developers run into a major problem. You see, what is deemed "cool" is dependent upon the audience, and it just so happens that video games are a straight male dominated hobby. Generally speaking, straight men appreciate female characters who bring something *different* to the table than what we're used to.
If we wanted to play as the gruff, stoic warrior... we'd much rather it be a cool dude like Kratos. When you apply what is more or less the same exact design principle to *female* characters, you just end up with downgraded caricatures of men.
Attempting to remove the differences between men and women is NOT how you create a cool, well-liked character in this industry. Whether you like it or not, straight men generally look for different qualities in female characters. We want a cute/pretty face, we want a rocking body, we want someone who is nurturing, alluring, intelligent, and approaches fighting and problem solving differently than men.
Screech into the void all you want, cry until the sun comes up, but this is the exact opposite of what we want when we think of female video game characters. Go look at a list of 45 of the 50 most iconic/well received female video game characters, and tell me what they all have in common.
I’ve referred these allegations to DOJ’s new Fraud Division for criminal investigation. Minnesota state officials are not above the law, and if they facilitated fraud, lied under oath about what they knew, or harassed and intimated whistleblowers, they must face justice.
A barbarian from a terrorist country sawing off the head of a local on the street isn’t terrorism.
Having memes on your phone making fun of your leaders, though - that’s terrorism.
Hey @AmazonMGMStudio Peter Friedlander, and Mike Hopkins: Stargate, unlike Rings of Power, is actually something people WANT. Look at the response online! Look at Stargate trending! Reconsider this hasty decision, renew it, and let Martin Gero make something to be proud of!

@GBNEWS@Power_Jen Yes, Jennifer. It is indeed an attack on free speech and the dictionary definition of state driven censorship.
As an American yourself, to claim otherwise is both deeply misleading and troubling.
Nobody asked for this. Nobody wants it and nobody voted for busy bodies like you!
