I'm going through some books marks to find Nepenthe talking about how Economic Knowledge expertise as an artist.
I found this one of BCT talking about avoiding trans issues. http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=45505.msg2404833#msg2404833 http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=46734.msg2742579#msg2742579

Shit, they totally went with “it was an impostor”? I hoped for a better explanation or just brushed it off under the carpet like MCU Rodhey.Or, like you said, just say he is Bloodsport or Bloodsport taking Deadshot name for some reason.

played in the beta, was fun enough, but too many good games right now that I won't be wasting money on fun enough when it'll be $20 in 6 months.

That a character is just MCU Drax also doesn’t tell me much, given how DCEU King Shark was GrootXDrax.

RetardEra on death watch, specifically ZeoVGM, he led the charge to Cancel Brad and... ended up with Brad leaving and having LSM's best month ever in terms of growth. Incredible. And yes, he tagged Resetera on the post

I don't know why TransEra even sticks around. It's obvious that the majority of the site and moderation hate them and their token members of staff only care about lesbian pride flags instead of the actual genocide.
It's all tiring.

I mean, maybe the game is terrible and all that. I don’t know. I just go hyper defensive when social media bitchs about Culture War stuff in comics because half of the people that talk about it don’t have any idea of what they are saying in the context of comics. Comicsgate was particularly fucking awful about that, tumblerinas were at least semi informed while delusional.

Quote:White conservatives largely have no sense of cultural innoculation against the contradictions that occur when real-world systems betray fanciful moral ideals like literally every minority on the planet has had to build up. Instead of going "Oh, maybe the lessons and myths I was forcefed as a kid by my parents and teachers was wrong/watered down, and the world is a lot more complicated than "working hard means you'll be successful," they literally just never grew the fuck up. Why does Nepenthe talk like the Black Ambassador of the World and that every person of color is as pathetic and ineffectual as her? They would laugh at her, too. Quote:And instead of applying the most infinitesimal amount of critical thinking and being like "Oh, maybe the system is the problem if I'm working as hard as I am and yet getting poorer," (mainly because that would show how much of a judgemental asshole they've been to Black people, Brown people, and the poor and homeless in general, and self-reflection is anathema to the white conservative), they instead get defensive because the systems that gave them actual internal meaning are no longer working out for them, and they never developed any healthy replacements separate from that. But you're not working hard. You have no marketable skills and refuse to acquire them even though you're a grown woman living in your parents' house. You draw furry art and write about globs of cum, but it doesn't make money. Listen to me, the globs of cum are not making you money - they're slowing you down (heheheheh). You're not seeing the cum for the trees. You don't seem to care to find the time and energy to take some path forward - *any* path, even if it leads to failure...to make your life better, but you will find the time to squelch speech and opinions on an internet forum and bitch about an entire race of people for years on end. You work at a CVS or something as a cashier and complain that white people hand you change wrong. Capitalism is race blind - if someone is going to pass up the opportunity to use the skills and talents of someone because they're the wrong race, there will be a 10000x more people that won't because your labor is incentivized, not your skin. They care about making money. The woman throwing you her change isn't doing it because you're black. Nepenthe, listen, come close: they're doing it because you're a detestable bitch with a face made for extremely rapid punching. Not because white people can't stand to give the black bodies money. Yes, I know, the misogynoir of black bodies is the engine of capitalism. It is the third industrial revolution in the shuck and jive economy. I know, I get it. Welll shiiiiet massa, I is jus' a po' cashyeeea at da dollah store, I ain't wanna bothah nobody. Da white folk here look extry grumpy ta-day, i certainly don't wish for my currency to be thrown at mah hands cuz I's being uppity in dis hyeah CVS. I don't wan trouble nobody none. nuh-uh-uh, sir. Stop it, Nepenthe. Stop talking like that. Get ahold of yourself. Stop shucking. Stop shucking the glob of cum out of that furry dick and listen to me for a moment: You spend all your time on an internet forum bitching about a sinister race with ubiquitous and global power diminishing "your people" instead of trying to figure out how to make your life better. This isn't capitalism or white peoples' fault - this is you refusing to, as you put it: "grow the fuck up." It doesn't matter how many Ibrahim Kendi or Robin D'Angelo books you read, nothing will ever get better until you take accountability for why people throw change in your face - it's because you're a whiney cunt that lives in one of the wealthiest countries on earth in the best time on earth. I've had a long week and ya boi had a little too much to drink on a Thursday. So if anything here offended you, I'm sorry, the capitalism made me do it. is this thing still on?

Is pure cynicism. They got lucky with Cyberpunk shitting the bed initially and they made a bet with Hogwards being lepered online (partially happened, critical wise at least). Is not as easy as banning niche horny games from a twitch list, isn’t?

I believe UbiSoft has also been criminally investigated but I don't know enough about it to know if that's because of how the French legal system works and it would be something that would be a lawsuit in America. They're seriously downplaying unprecedented types of shit in the industry so they can justify their stupid ban on Cyberpunk 2077 for something that was not part of the game.

As I keep saying, the US minimum wage makes far more economic sense for a business than owning a slave. You don't have to feed, house or provide healthcare to a minimum wage worker to keep them productive and poorly regulated borders mean a constant supply of new labour. With a slave, there is an initial capital expenditure to purchase them and then ongoing maintenance costs to keep them in good working order. There is further capital necessary to replace one too. Slaves incur an additional expense of slave masters to keep them in line. However, if the minimum wage workers get restless, then the state will keep them in line through the state-funded police force. The abolitionists were just looking after their bottom line when they got rid of slavery.
