Non-natives should be respectful of their Nativeness by bringing up Two Spirit which isn't something these Natives believe in. (Because the colonizers forced them to erase it probably.)

[Boredfrom]

Don’t be charitable about what millionaires mean… unless they are Tyler Perry:

It's probably more that he thinks that the people who fund his projects will demand budget cuts due to tech like this so that he would be forced to use it anyway and wouldn't want to invest in staff/studios that he would not be able to sustainably run.

What do you want him to do? Put blinders on while his competitors use AI to drive costs lower and increase output? You wouldn't expect a buggy manufacturer to expand their buggy capacity as they watch cars zoom by the factory.

“Why are this billionaires CEOs sacking everyone?”

It's black history month you freak. Let them have SOMETHING. Stop making everything about YOU.

Need to keep calling them out - both in-person and online.

We must stigmatize fossil fuel pollution to the level of Nazis. If you even hint at supporting the fossil industry, you deserve nothing less than PR disaster, if not losing your entire business.

oh my god, can you imagine the stigma?? 

remember what happened the last time resetera called someone a nazi, how much impact that accusation had on them, because of how rarely they choose to level that kind of accusation, so you know it really means something, coming from them

For some reason I don't believe they'll apply this to consumers and governments, only companies they already don't like.

Where do they think the electricity for the electrical cars is going to come from?

Why does nobody speak on how AI looks like shit

Its great you can be in snowy Colorado mountains, or a Desert but it all looks like eerie dreamlike bullshit. How are you going to use all this and make it not look like garbage

Plenty of people have criticized how it looks. A whole lot more people have spent literally billions of dollars over the decades on tickets to movies with shitty special effects.

Woah, woah, woah. You can't say that about Marvel! Black Panther's CGI isn't THAT bad!

Just you wait Mr. 700 post account. You'll get what's coming.

That's why we need to throw paint on the non-AI art and block the road, so they know we're serious about them being Nazis.

 Downplaying the work artists put into movies is dismissing their concerns over AI.

I'm just sick of video games assuming everyone who plays them is a straight man.

Also I'm always amused when people say "Guess you're scared of going to the beach!" when this type of stuff happens like with "Summer Skins" in fighting games; both because personally, if you wore something like that to my closest beach, you'd probably just end up catching a cold and getting stung by crabs and jellyfish while being judged by Sheep but also kind of ignores that these characters aren't choosing to wears these costumes by choice and like... No not really.

In real life women can and do wear a variety of clothes to the beach, not just sexualized to piece swimsuits, from shorts, one piece swimsuits, shirts, skirts, gym wear, non-sexualized two-piece swim suits etc, One piece blue and striped clothing that covers the arms and legs etc.

What annoys me so much about the false equivalence argument that is, "Well if you don't like pandered to when consuming media you'd HATE real women in real life" is that I, as an adult, frankly can't fathom the idea of lacking the critical thinking skills to parse how stupid that sounds. Because let's just acknowledge the following idea:

-People who tend to complain about and/or focus on disproportionate objectification in media also tend have the opinion that women in real life should have the agency to wear what they want. The reason behind this particular Venn diagram is because both arguments are inherently feminist stances to begin with. More respectful/inclusive portrayals in media as a baseline AND..NOT...VS women in real life should have agency and should generally be left to their own devices.

There's no contradiction being made.

Meanwhile, what tends to happen, is that the people who consume way WAY too much fanservice shit and become full on coomers as a result of an incredibly skewed and limited view of women, also tend to be raging misogynists who get pissed at real women doing...well anything let alone displaying that they have agency. Like no FFVIIR isn't the most egregious example, but like, when it's 2024 and the series has a history of it while simultaneously attempting to portray and promote more modern progressive stances it'd be cool if that also mean just eschewing fanservice directed at their cast of women.

Checkmate, atheists.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

If Aerith wore Barret's swim outfit Re would call it infantile.

[Averon]

Aren't like 90% of them "trans lesbians" in that thread? Shouldn't they want to see hot women?

[benji]

So many games do these swimsuit costumes and I'm like... I don't need to see the ladies with their assets out. That does bit make them effective combatants.

Transphobic.

[books]

Mr Beast is one of those cis folkx that support the trans genocide while donating millions to (possibly) terf adjacent charities (or not, but the overall point is more important). I'm disgusted he hasn't refuted my accusations of him being a war criminal on the level of Milosevic. What is he afraid of???

[Boredfrom]

but also kind of ignores that these characters aren't choosing to wears these costumes by choice and like... No not really.

Why they keep hammering this shit? Is an awful take that somehow alludes that video game characters can consent. Is shit that Chris Chan would argue.

Only in private, when nobody can call them out. In public, they need to show how fucking insecure they are because they cannot pass. 

Is like Chairmanchuck making woke threads bitching about sexualization while playing cheap hentai game  at steam.

So women in real life can dress how they want but you can't depict those women in fiction dressing how they want, do I get that right? How do you not see how idiotic that is?

They're wearing some of the most standard bikinis I can think of, even with some little skirts to not show too much.
RE's head would explode if there was an actual skimpy swimsuit

So sex work is real work or it isn’t? Because that is the usual spiel used against porn?

[benji]

I don't think they realize that the only proper conclusion from their reasoning is that no fictional women should ever be depicted since they can't consent.

[Propagandhim]

Look, I may have an encyclopedic knowledge of every porn star and their scenes in the past 10 years, but I know what consent is, and Tifa did not consent to that bikini that a man created for her to wear.  This is causing harm.  Real harm.  Tifa's trauma is valid.  Globs of Cum 8 available for purchase now at Dirty, Filthy, Useless, Cum Whores dot com.

The Piano was a successful movie and won a couple awards, but it wasn’t about a plastic expressionless doll. Or Barbie. Doesn’t count.

You think it's fine to dress these women against their consent in "tasteful" outfits when you know there's some coomer incel male rapist (but I repeat myself four times) out there being titillated by it???
