Oh, so he became a killed because of video games, not *gestures wildly*. K.

Oh plz let them try, just try spinning it as a "videogames caused this cos only fictional violence counts, not real day-to-day violence of mass shootings, police shootings, modern genocide funding/whitewashing as much as founding genocide and angry reactionary RW media monopolies speaking in war/battle terminology" - go onnn, do it. Ben Shapiro tried his usual nonsense deflection video and even his audience roundly rejected it this time, cos everyone knows someone who got fucked over and suffered into death merely for the profits of faceless CEOs, board members and shareholders who openly boast about their profiteering tricks and successes.


Um oops, didn't check previous page before posting the vid, sorry!

SUS! SUS!!!!!!!!

The suspect is just another rich asshole with an inheritance. It's evil rich jetks going against other evil rich jerks. People are at least starting to take notice now and not see it, that's just a "Left and Right issue". Even Ben Shapiro's followers aren't buying his bullshit. All I have to ask: is what took you all so long?

Can someone help me out here? I'm confused.

The far right has recently been claiming that the new Marvel Hero shooter is the TRUE game for TRUE GAMERS that's coming to save us from the WOKE concord! But uh...don't they hate marvel? Hasn't marvel/Disney been trying to kill us all with wokeness for years? What's gonna happen if Captain Marvel gets in the game?

 

[thebobmaster]

You forget. Games/movies/whatever are only woke if "they" don't like it. If they like it, it can't be woke, because only bad things are woke.

This is easy; they're grifting dipshits

The easiest way to determine if they think something is WOKE or NOT WOKE is this:

Did it make a fuckton of money and was super successful? It is not woke
Did it flop and fail miserably? It is woke

Don't forget that these people are usually parasites and are not actual fans or only "fans" under the shallowest terms.

And if something is woke and successful, they'll all suddenly shut up, divert the conversation to something else, and/or try to play it off like it's not a big deal and downplay the media's success.

Nah, they just say it wasn't Woke.

Like if you see them talk about Baldur's Gate 3 now, BG3 wasn't woke. All the gender stuff and "Woke Stuff" was implemented "naturally" in the game and not FORCED DIVERSITY.

What's the difference between Natural Diversity and Forced Diversity you ask? Shut up! It was Natural Diversity so it's not Woke and therefore it was super successful.

Except when that's totally not the case, but it's still considered a woke fail, like Captain Marvel, or The Last of Us 2, or Spider-Man 2. Even Horizon: Forbidden West with the ugly bearded Aloy sold at least 8 million copies, yet that one still of Aloy still gets dragged out whenever the "ugly on purpose" mantra rears up at the sight of female game character in an upcoming title, with the caption 'they hate you/they're ruining it/woke disaster'.

They've kinda just picked their targets, which is Disney/Marvel/Sony, and are sticking to them. Probably why Baldur's Gate 3 got skipped. But even then though... I'm trying to find sense where there is only spite for monetary gain.

 

[Phoenixmgs]

These are just basic manipulations that 1) already exist and impact capital gains, and 2) already have well-known methods of address.



You expect the entirety of the deficit to be covered by efficiency savings, do you? Delusional.

And even if it was at all realistic: there would be the argument to shift the existing burden from workers onto those who accrue wealth without working, or from those with lesser means to those with greater means.

What I listed would only impact unrealized capital gains.

The US spends a lot on stuff we don't need like the defense budget for one.

Profit margins on healthcare should be zero. There are certain industries where "profit" is immoral.

Health insurance makes profit by scamming you out of your money. You pay into insurance every month, and they try their best to provide you as little healthcare as possible because they make money on you not being able to use the services you pay for.

You saying the profit margins are low is just saying "they aren't screwing you as much as they would actually like."

United Healthcare in particular is known as one of the worst insurance companies in terms of denial of care to their customers.

I agree that healthcare shouldn't be for profit. I was pointing out it's not like they are just making hand over fist.

...cool. So it shouldn't take much imagination to apply it to regular capital gains!

Indeed it does. A process that most countries without M4A have no need for.... so if the US negotiator didn't need that either ....

Because if the monetary is off the table they lose their one thing to dilute the fact that insert not white guy or thing that makes dick hard is not in this media.

I would say go woke go broke is the mantra of cowards.

I have been fan of many media not public opinion darlings both games, music and shows etc. I will ride out for them in the face of the big mainstream money.

Hiding behind monetary is weak sauce. What happened to the nerd that would scoff at the mainstream success and still tear into something and be ten toes down for not liking it. If that media had 1 million lovers they would be the one hater and hate with conviction.

Plenty of "unwoke" media didn't make a lot of money and were not under this microscope cause women and minorities involved.

Back to my point go woke go broke are for the convictionless. If you made comments off hand about Baldurs Gate 3 don't change it cause it made money and billions and change up your reasoning. Let hate flow through you and let it fill rivers that have run dry.

Searches the whole internet for the snitch...

Goes to 4Chan, finds it in 4 seconds. No I am not sharing it.

"They'll kill you for very little profit" is an even greater condemnation of the industry.
