No one. No one said this.
Just for clarification, here's the quote that sparked this response in full context.

Ashley Allison made the comment during the network’s coverage of the death of the 76-year-old Simpson, the disgraced NFL legend who was acquitted in 1995 of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman.

Allison — a former Obama administration official who also worked on Joe Biden’s presidential campaign as well as his transition team — was weighing in on the racial tensions that pervaded the country during the Simpson trial and its aftermath.


She said the Simpson case brought to the fore “just how black Americans feel about policing.”

“He wasn’t a social justice leader, but he represented something for the black community in that moment, in that trial, particularly because there were two white people who had been killed,” Allison said.

“And the history around how black people have been persecuted during slavery.”
Allison is merely summarizing how race played a major factor in how this trial was perceived by the black community because of the LAPD's history of racism. She is not condoning the murders, let alone calling Simpson a hero to the media or anyone else.

A pathetic biatch fraud he is indeed. Nobody wants him. Even after becoming "friends" with him. How's that lawsuit by the way? Still running away from it like a punk ass biatch Ritts?



Wait what? They are going to get him to give a speech or something at Kent State?

Kent State!? Though, even that is topped by:

hmm. "multiple Epstein islands run by intelligence agencies" is not something that is obviously impossible. though I'd wonder how that guy would know about them.
Mel Gibson's in on the whole unhinged RW secretive island owning fad, would not discourage looking closer towards his and his once open n proud white supremacist dad's ( long time besties with Alex Jones for many years if anyone wasn't aware too btw) shenanigans. 👩‍🔬
Cavezial, Gibson and Bannon have been like a thing since at least the passion of the christ movie also, I'd only learnt somewhat recently.

WTF what's wrong with some people? Any exact reason why he chose to do this or are the police still investigating that?
It'll most likely come out in court either through confession, various testimony, phone data and/or home devices data and history if a warrant's provided for them to be seized. The state believes they've enough evidence of a pattern for the charges, whatever they are, have to see if they stand up in court. Am not expecting any surprises.

It's so good dumb

It's so dumb that it got Nick Calandra to dig into Mark Kern's Scammier Star Citizen game Em8er
So about that Chuck Tingle game that never came out that was charging $1069 not for a copy of the game just 1 early access copy, a mug, a T-shirt, behind the scenes stuff and for Chuck Tingle to name one of the characters in one of his novels after you?


Funny how selective outrage works when Kern is charging about $500 more only for 4 copies of the game, 4 lots of early access and actual stuff to be put in game, has been keeping his backers updated while said Chuck Tingle game has been radio silent since 2018.

Its funny how nothing in the funny meme picture disputes Metal Gear is extremely political.
Oh.......... you can't tell the difference between Metal Gear solid, Bioshock and that picture of an episode of Family Guy...........are you for real now?

And this reaction is a pretty good argument to keep adults, or at least certain adults, out of kids' hobbies.




If you find something objectionable about the male avatar designs, by all means say so.
Weirdly they didn't change the male avatar. I've seen some women on twitter who still Play Pokemon Go being pretty upset by the change to the female avatar though.


Yeah, they still have standards. Who knew?
yes2 of them to make a double in the case of GCJ


Did what? And why are you still talking about her in 2024?
Hired a known pedophile as her Twitch moderator

As an ugly person.

She is though.

Also funny they cast Tom Holland, who happens to actually be in a relationship with a POC who has a proven track record both of acting and singing and has worked alongside him on multiple films.

What did they spend most of the budget on Tom Holland as Romeo so had to go with the budget Juliet rather than the probably more sensible choice of Zendaya?

It was already funny that the far right didn't realize Helldivers was mocking them and declared it to be an ''apolitical video game''. But now they realize the game is simply too in your face to ignore they instead retreat to their bad faith defense of ''Okay it IS political and we don't mind that because unlike all those others its not sHoViNg iT dOwN oUr THROAT!''

This of course doesn't work because the satire is so extremely overt that if any game is shoving its politics down its throat it be Helldivers. But it also brings us to the usual question. Who decides when a game is merely political and whether its trying to shove things down your throat? And why do the people who already consider princess Peach wearing pants to be unforgivably political think they themselves are the best persons to judge these matters?
Ok my apologies, you did understand the image I posted. Eventually.

This has been the argument for a while, hence the image.

Also the automatons are Nazi coded and Super Earth is fascist, but fascist in the way "progressives" would approve of. E.G. "no stupid Trump voters being able to to choose who they vote for" because now an AI algorithm votes for the candidate it determines is the best one for you while you live in a prosperous diverse society with a Communist China like Social credit system.

The funny thing being after people mocked said "progressive" side on twitter for siding with the actual bugs (who BTW are a Covid 19 analogy, were captured in Helldivers1 experimented on in labs and farmed and broke out, with you being tasked on missions with shutting down the evil propaganda about the lab farms and escaped, oh and their actually supposedly spread in the air too) they then chose to side with the Automatons, who are Nazi coded whose bases have factories which churn out new bits all with the grey and reg colour scheme complete with skills and have piles of dead human bodies about along with the bigger Automaton factory camps having massive chimneys that put out spoke and an orange glow that can be seen on night missions from a fair way away. Oh and also the Automatons are the result of the subjugation and humiliation of the Helldivers 1 Cyborg faction at the hands of Super Earth.

Congratulations the true satire of the game was how badly the progressive side thought Helldivers 2 was on their side because all they saw was "patriotism and a runaway military are bad" without realising and lacking enough media literacy skills to analyse the stuff deeper and realise the game at best in mocking everyone and at worst had been taking far more shots at said progressive side but in more subtle ways they didn't realise. But hey I'm not surprised the side who proclaimed themselves "On the right side of history" from 2014 or so onwards lacked enough media literacy to be sucked in by Helldivers 2 overt stuff enough to ignore the less obvious but more numerous stuff.

I'm going to stop you right there, because I've heard all this bull crap before when you and a few other users either try to make excuses for Rittenhouse's actions, enable them or ignore them. He had no business being there and we all know this. He wasn't on duty cop he was some hot shot teenager that was turning 18 and felt a need and justify shooting other people for having different beliefs or being of a different skin color. All stuff he fed into himself from watching all the right wing nuts and corrupt cops. All you have been doing is been making excuses. He went a state over and had no business being there. I'm not doing a back and forth with you on this nor anybody else. The fucker deserves to go to jail for murder that's and final. I'm not making excuses for those that damage public property, but he was way out of line and way worse. Rittenhouse doesn't care about anybody but himself, and you'll happily use you and your defenders as human Shields to get away and hire his responsibilities. Keep in mind he still has a lawsuit on his hands he's evading from the victims of the families. I'll hear nothing else otherwise. He's a pathetic coward and nothing more.
So about all the other people who were there and tried to attack him most of them didn't live or work in said city.

Rittenhouse was turning 18, had turned up with a fucking medkit because he was first aid trained (which is a damn sight better than a certain groups street medics) and ended up getting handed the rifle and tried to refuse it but was told he might need it. Hell people who met him before the incident who needed help said he was pretty damn helpful.

Honest question: Did anyone actually like Bloodrayne for reasons besides the obvious?
It actually had some pretty interesting insta kill moves if you could pull them off and interesting mechanics especially in 2 where it required you to figure out you basically had to use a sort of super mode later in the game as the enemies were so tough you normal attacks were useless. Also the plot was cheesy in 1 but fun, good old killing the occult Nazis, hard to go wrong with that really.

It's a theatre production. Looks are irrelevant.

'Oh look, guy character too looks wonky here, but let's not use that one because it won't prove our point.'

You're thinking of radio.

Looking good is somewhat important in theatre, looking how a character is written or was originally envisioned in terms of other characteristics like height and hair are not.

Did I say any of that though? What I am saying there being differences between Metal Gear and Family on itself says nothing about Metal Gear being political or not. Its a meme picture that says nothing.

If we follow the picture and say there is indeed a difference between Family guy and Metal gear....then how exactly would this stop Metal Gear from being political? Yes, neither Snake nor Big Boss literally meets Donald Trump. Okay. And this is supposed to dispute Metal Gear being political....how?

I suppose a big difference is that unlike Family Guy which just makes joke Metal Gear actually has things to say. But this should not be a point in its favor for the far right, because artistic mediums saying things is exactly the thing they rail against.

The whole ''but we don't actually mind politics'' defence is of course a sham since they so obviously do mind.

Very loose speculation: they might have chosen to have lead actors of different races to give a clear immediate idea to the audience who might be a Capulet and who might be a Montague.

I mean, West Side Story chose to make the lead gangs whites and Puerto Ricans respectively.
