I can absolutely see Stellar Blade being propped up by a certain audience

Fans of strong women action games?

She's obviously said a lot of awful shit at this point, but as far as headlines go this might actually be one of the more damning ones.
Imagine you're someone who's been living under a rock and/or completely buys into her talk about feminism.
She won't forgive Daniel Radcliffe or Emma Watson?! Emma Watson is herself, a cis woman and a feminist. That's a pretty open and shut thing to say about someone who (by all accounts) is a part of the group JK is claiming to be defending. And it's not very "forgive thy neighbour" either.

I dunno. It's been a bit shit the past couple of days to put it lightly. But if there's anyone who's somehow still on the fence...this isn't a bad place to start to show that JK is not a forgiving, loving person.

The headline in question is “J. K. Rowling Says She Won't Forgive Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson for Trans Stance“

What is damning about this to a normal person who likes Harry Potter? These people are so fucking lost in the sauce of their weird movement that they can’t even consider the lens of a normal person.

how the headline should actually read:

"J. K. Rowling Says She Is Not The Person For Which Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson Need To Ask Forgiveness"

what if you change alters in the middle of driving, you don't have any control over this, it's just an automatic defense mechanism or something so...

if this is real then people who know nothing about the rules of the road presumably just pop into existence doing 70 on the interstate

No one is sure why the number of children who identify as transgender has grown exponentially. Many people were disoriented by the sudden simultaneous rise of trans identity in wealthier nations. Some fell back on prejudice to cope with their confusion.

So, I work in a finance role and this week is key for us finalising our forecast and presenting to the CFO and CEO.

The equivalent in my team has a very system based role that he manages, completely remote.

He is actually working abroad at the moment visiting his sister while working at her house. Today my manager informs our team, that our colleague won't be working the remainder of the week as his sisters mother in law has been given taken ill in hospital. To me this is a bullshit excuse, but let me know if I am being too harsh.

The team is me, my manager and this guy

He only needs to do 2 hours work to not fuck us, he could do both

To be fair, their "sister's mother in law"? Do your fucking 2 hours of work.

I agree, but I'm not a raging socialist/communist.

Closing on my first house this coming week in the hope for a child in the future. My children will have a home when I pass away.

I reported that tweet transphobic so it's red on mine now.

I love threads like that where the reality of their philosophy careens headfirst into their morality and western sensibilities about just punishments. Then you have the true believers saying, "That bitch deserves it."

So much performative wank.

https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/11/the-guardian-view-on-the-cass-report-rising-numbers-of-gender-distressed-young-people-need-help

when the groups that are most highly targeted for governmental support are those who claim to be suffering, is it any wonder that suddenly everyone seems to be suffering and needs more attention?

the internet has ruined the illusion that your unique perspective or talent matters, you used to be able to be the best _____ in your small town with high hopes and then you'd slowly get let down as you realize it's more competitive in the real world (or otherwise succeed/find your niche)

now evidence that you're neither unique nor special is at your fingertips at all times, so people turn to absolutely wild shit just to stand out in the age where nothing surprises anyone anymore

it's all a cry for attention, any kind of attention, the same kind of cry as past generations being goth or emo, and it never brings fulfillment

If only they taught kids how to deal with imposter syndrome and that it is ok to fail and learn from your failures instead of gender anxiety. 
Also a bit of perseverance doesn't hurt in this case either.

Clickycarl is really upset that stellar blade is going to sell quite well by all pre measures  

That's why people are laughing at the 5m+ predictions. Not realistic in any way.

However looking at preorders on PSN a standard or or digital deluxe version of the game is:

#1 for preorders in 46 countries.
#2 for preorders in 24 countries.
# 3 for preorders in 15 countries.

With digital deluxe being the highest in 44 countries.

Maybe over the course of a decade? The game is PS5 exclusive, and comparing sales to like....Lies of P is more the level of what should be looked at.

Knowing their predictive skills Stellar Blade is going to set new PS5 sales records

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

I thought that it's okay to support bigoted terrorists because it's not about good or evil, it's about stopping genocide by any means. You can be LGBTQIA for Palestine, even if Islam is against the practice of homosexuality or transgenderism because being a humanist means you must be against genocide no matter what. If the Houthi's are pushing for a free Palestine then, yes, they are an ally to the protest no matter what B-dubs says.

Stop gate keeping a free Palestine.

[kaleidoscopium]

Right. And the whole vision for the series is a "realistic" medieval game, which is often used as a sort of dog whistle for all sorts of things like not including minorities when, historically, there were people of color in medieval Europe.

And they’ve still failed to ever find an example in history of a black person being in rural Bohemia in this time period. Very odd they still want to die on this hill

[Uncle]

warhorse should just say "ok, we're creating an alternate reality history where there happened to be no people of color in medieval europe (similar to an alternate earth with a technologically advanced wakanda where there were no white people) and we should be respected for our unique and fantastically unrealistic creative vision"



"you will note the presence of many problems and challenges for the protagonist to deal with, which demonstrates all the issues such a world would have in the absence of diverse peoples. these problems wouldn't exist if our bohemia was more diverse, but such are the challenges of portraying a thought experiment like this"
