Rittenhouse was never more than a talking point for pundits and politicians to exploit, and got discarded the moment he served that purpose, and he's nowhere near sly or charismatic enough to leverage that into a lucrative career doing the right wing circuit, get that sweet sweet grift money. Ain"t no Griftenhouse.

Why care about a politically motivated murderer who got off completely scott free while being championing by the insufferable wealthy reactionary right who already openly fetishes violence against their political opponentst at every chance they can? Why indeed?
I saw the incident on video, it was self-defense (only the 2nd shooting could've been considered a bit grey, though after the first incident, it's kinda hard for someone to then act calmly right after). Even the 3rd guy that got shot by Rittenhouse literally admitted on the stand that it was self-defense on Rittenhouse's part. 12 independent people all said he was not guilty, it wasn't like it was a 7-5 vote. Looking at the incidents objectively along with comparing it to the law, it's pretty much impossible to say Rittenhouse committed murder in any fashion.

That's why I ignored it all until the videos were made public, pretty simple case in essence.

Well, can't say I'm too keen on this design. The face looks like it came from an early Xbox 360 game. But then I also don't know what the context of the character is here, so I'll try to reserve judgement till then. Not that I'll ever play this game anyway.

Also, April looks way better. May I remind anyone hating on that design that she's the only character in that movie that doesn't look like a used tissue.

Ah okay.

If this is cutscene footage I'm still gonna have to say it looks rather crap (as we've seen the other character's faces and they look great), but if this is a close-up of the in-game character model then, yeah, those usually look a bit weird in the wrong lighting.

Still think the design is not too interesting, but opinions are like assholes as they say.

Well that statement just got creepier from that jackass on Twitter. Also, this isn't the first time Poison Ivy was made younger, albeit, she's a teenager in The Batman 2004 animated series.

This entire subreddit exists because lonely online people want to flex on people because they are insecure. By the way, I have a healthy BMI, not because of my extreme self-control, and being normal. It's because I get bored with eating, which extends into even junk food. I love BBQ chips, soda, etc. But it gets boring, plus there are some foods that just fuck me up due to inflammation.

I am sick of this society trying to flex on people. If you don't make six figures, are a six-foot male or pretty female, have a house, nice car, nice clothing. You know the meta you will get attacked. Some of these I have, some I don't. It's so weird and materialistic.

She started as a child on Gotham, before getting aged to an adult after a chemical accident.

"Politics being a small part"? Of a Kojima game?
Sounds very Houseman with the second person. That idiot and this idiot weren't the only ones to claim "Kojima has small politics". It's pretty clear the fuck nut only played MGS/Kojima titles for the shallowest reason or never played them in their entire life.

Huh? It's just another of the infinite amount of spots on the internet where people are complaining about things. The people trying to say being fat is okay and healthy are the more dangerous, even official government doctors are now saying this bullshit. Pushing messages/agendas to further people's delusions is bad. Trying to talk with a family member/good friend about being overweight isn't obviously easy and that subreddit seems like a place for people to mainly vent that frustration, rather harmless in the end compared to seeing the healthy heart icon on a box of cereal or being messaged to drink low fat/skim milk instead of whole milk or tons of other backwards nutritional advice present everyday (that's why people are overweight).

One funny event in anti woke world is how downright spoiled far right voters are and how they actively demand to be spoiled. If you point out their motivation for voting they tend to get very angry or at least defensive. They seem offended when you point out the implication of voting for a racist party that openly advocates for racist policies.

If people vote for an animal rights party then they are voting for the general welfare of animals. If People vote for a socialist party its because they are socialists. If they vote for the Greens then environmental policy is their driving factor and if they vote Christian Democrat they are motivated by their Christian faith. But somehow when people vote for the anti immigrant party you're not allowed to notice that they vote for anti immigrant policies. Instead we are all demanded to pretend they voted for every reason EXCEPT anti immigration and that we ''made'' them vote for the far right by not taking them seriously.

Its a very exhausting song and dance that often doesn't make any sense. Most recently in the Netherlands we are asked to pretend people voted for Geert Wilders because of the housing crisis or income inequality, despite pretty much every other party also addressing those things, and often far more convincingly then the guy who says those problems will all magically vanish if we just kick out the brown people. Same with Brexit where Brits were expected to pretend Leave voters were motivated by problems that a bunch of corrupt bankers that hoped to benefit from fewer regulations were never ever going to solve for those voters.

Strangely this funny event in Anti Woke world doesn't apply to the US. There the Republican electorate seems to mostly have come to terms with the fact they are driven by racism and anti democratic principles. Though it did exist in the start of Trump's term where we were asked to pretend ''economic anxiety'' was the driving factor behind Trump voters.

It's a bit more spiteful than that, seems more like people who have to shit on others to make themselves seem better by comparison. A sign of weak character and low self-esteem, I think (not What is good about me? but rather What is bad about someone else?).
