So according to ResetEra all "white" states are colonialist entities even if the white people already lived there or literally created the land themselves (Dutch, Germans, Swiss, Spanish, Portuguese, Italians, French, English, Finns etc.).

Yet, lands violently conquered by Islamic conquest throughout the centuries are not colonialist.
The Ottomans aren't colonizing Constantinople?

There's no reasoning with antisemitic people anymore than trying to convince my late grandmother to not be racist.

Apparently Matt Stone, a Jewish man married to a black woman with kids, is a white libertarian and argument done. It's the dumbest and laziest thinking.

I feel like being a white-colonial state--or at the very least making sure your white population is firmly at the top of the economic/power structure--is a prerequesite for being considered a "western civilization/democracy" because I mean as an example, Ghana is further "west" than most of Europe, and models itself on western civilization but is never considered a "western civilization/democracy" they get designated as African or simple isn't mentioned at all in the same breath as other western democracies.

 

That's... that's not how "Western" status is determined. You don't just get it from a couple decades of institutions. Western countries have centuries of integrated traditions and institutions that grant them that status, it's why Russia is typically not considered one.

Fucking hell, these people are all autistic and just have the most literal interpretation of everything.

Well, according to Resetera geniuses (and Sony ponies) Greeks are canonically black, sooooo....

That right hand is a little weird in the fingers.

As a budding AI Scientist: not like this. Please don't do shit like this, game devs/pubs. Don't lay off people and then replace their labor with AI. Train your staff to harness and leverage AI instead to improve productivity workflow and be able to do more than you ever could before in harsh timelines with what you already have. Instead of having a team of 5 artists slave over producing monotonous patterned textures for rugs, carpets, paintings, etc. or repetitive in-game hallways, use AI to automate the tedium of that part that no one really wants to do and repurpose/harness the artists focus on details that AI doesn't do well instead: like unique character designs, more storyboarding, etc. Idk just thoughts on my end but I just think pubs/devs are going about this all the wrong way.

AI is not supposed to be used to make shitty filler textures, art, voice acting, etc. Automation is *supposed* to liberate humans from tedium that wears and tears us. It's supposed to be used to automate repetitive tasks so that creative human minds can refocus their human talents on things humans resonate with: believable animations, believable character designs, believable voices. It's about immersion. The illusion of immersion can be done by automating certain tasks and detail-focusing with humans on others.

But take my $0.02 with a grain of salt. I'm a bioscientist, not a game designer, so these are kinda Tales from My Ass over here...

Look, Israel cheated. When they started their brand new country in 1948 they just lifted everything from the West and continued their Jewish traditions that were heavily influenced by years of living in the West. While also importing Western tolerance for those Jewish sects that did not want to integrate and helping carve out a place for them in their new Jewish state. It's really NOT FAIR for them to leapfrog into being considered Western by non-anti-semites in the West when tons of other countries have made token efforts at claiming to be Western with a couple cycles of elections that the military hasn't overthrown.

We'll also ignore Japan because they're white-adjacent so questions about "is Japan now Western?" are obvious to answer. (See also: India and South Africa plus Australia and New Zealand.)

jesus you fall behind for a day or two and then you only read a couple pages of this thread a day and you never catch up

Are you me?!  I just got caught up after being behind for a week.  Don’t worry, I doled out likes accordingly.

what was the post that you wanted to reply to but sheepishly decided not to because it would be quoting something from 10 pages back

Multi-quote makes this easier than ever.

Do you think Ree will continue to expand whiteness with the end result being White vs Black.

It's easier to understand that way. You know, Avengers vs Thanos, Jedi vs Sith, DC vs Marvel.

[benji]

No, because they've already been there for years. Then they remember brown bodies and lump them in with Black if they like them enough.

[Nintex]

The weird thing is that instead of white people bad, black people good its bad people white, good people black.

So a transphobic black african tribesmen is actually white and a CCP official black

If Palestinians continue to die I'm NOT voting for Biden again. He's assisting genocide.

Gay rights? Trans folk? Why the fuck should I care about that? 

Inshallah, Biden will never step in the White House again.

What about the viciousness towards Black Adam and The Flash?

Cenk out here trying like they gonna forgive him for supporting trans genocide.

He is all about denying genocides.

I mean, can we talk about the viciousness towards Black Adam, because we really need to considering the main cast looks like this...



Yet ResetERA.com doesn't want to have this conversation for some reason?

You should've seen the elitism towards Spiderverse being animated that now this forum pretends never happened.

This is pure, "but the this city is 60% black.  How can whites be called the majority here?" vibes.  




I wonder who had the duty of sideling Nepenthe from Izzy/Pally discussion.  What I really want to know is how they did it.  That is grade-A subordinate management.  Her unchecked rhetoric for the past 3 (?) years about decolonization ignoring all moral costs is justified finally got tested and she's oddly absent.  

Of course excelsiorlef loves this time because she can just post no context Twitter links as rapid as possible without any commentary and pretend she's educating.

Don’t think this forum was running at the time, but when avatar 2 was in theaters beginning of the year Jett had some pretty great back and forth with people like Tace and El Bombastico, the latter 2 kept screaming how avatar was a racist series that only colonizers would support. Nepenthe even got involved at one point 😂
