It is morally permissible to use lethal violence against masked men who are trying to kidnap you or other people.

In 2050, we're gonna learn it was called the Mandala Effect all along, and we all just remembered it wrong

I think it's fair to say Malcolm financially benefited from anti-Poppy stuff & to be critical of him (his videos on her are pretty good, tho). But GayFesh? Last I checked, he made a grand total of zero videos about her. (Lux made one long & great video, and I don't know or care if that made money.)

I am getting the "Heavy Rain canon yaoi evidence" GoogleDoc ready. Soon, I will post it in the discords of several fujoshi and fujo-adjacent vtubers who have played the game. More people must know the truth. The Heavy Rain canon yaoi is real.

Overall I think MGS3 Delta is a pretty questionable remake (i'm going off cutscenes + videos about it). But it did get a lot of vtubers to play MGS3 (either again or for the first time) which is always great.

Most of the understanding of oppression in "Detroit: Become Human" is dumb, but the part about seizing the means of reproduction is surprisingly based. Reproduction control is central to oppression, and to liberation.

From everything I've heard about SW:TOR and the Revan novel, their treatment of the Exile is terrible.

Progressives should never have embraced any kind of cancel culture. The message from day 1 should have been that right-wingers were actually much worse proponents of cancel culture, and that this was very bad.

People say games journalists are bad at games, but the only example they ever cite is Dean Takahashi (who is very bad). Are there any other major examples of games journalists being bad at games?

Idea for political messaging: “Woke people love the homeless—they think being homeless is an "oppressed identity" just as valid as any other identity, and that housing everyone would therefore be "cultural genocide." If you want to trigger the libs, support universal free housing. That’ll show ‘em.”

In MGSV, the attractive female sniper Quiet HAS to be naked at all times, because her body does photosynthesis. But in MGS3, there is a 100 year old male sniper whose body ALSO does photosynthesis-- but he's fully clothed, for some reason. Hopefully, MGS3 Delta will finally correct this discrepancy.

I just today realized the end song of Christopher Nolan's best film Memento is "Something in the Air," which David Bowie made for the horrendous game "Omikron: The Nomad Soul" by David Cage. I can't believe this. amazing.

I wonder how VShojo was able to keep up their good reputation for so long. It sounds like they were screwing up & screwing over people for years.

You've been more adamant than just about anyone else about the importance of distinguishing true accusations against Poppy vs. false or dubious accusations against Poppy. That's really good.

So like if someone wants to say "Purdue/Sacklers don't deserve this amount of charity" I can respond "Sure, but some of these statements are still false, they misrepresent the opioid medical evidence, they conflate addiction and physical dependence, they harm lots of innocent people, etc."

This CAN lead to a contrarian trap, fetishizing unpopular views for its own sake, or getting pedantic. I think these things can be bad. But the risk of falling into them is often a risk worth taking, for the overall benefits a nuance-friendly atmosphere can provide.

I also try to surround myself with people who have embraced norms and habits of trying to explicitly put forward nuanced positions. Where we normalize saying stuff like "This is bad overall, but good in a few ways." Or "This is good overall, but bad in a few ways."

Sometimes a myth harms ppl other than the target. I'm often frustrated by false/exaggerated accusations against Purdue Pharma & the Sackers-- but I emphasize that how myths also harm pain patients & drug users. Exaggerations of the prescription addiction rates make it harder to get prescriptions.

Even with as much widespread gullibility as there is, it's good to see how sometimes all the top comments under fake AI videos are pointing out that it's fake.

Death to the IDF On this day, 249 years ago, Americans declared war on Britain, or at least on the British Army. To declare war on an army is to wish death upon it, and to act on that wish. About a week ago, punk r…

Death to the IDF.

Initial googling indicates nobody has written anything analyzing Heartman ("Death Stranding") from a disability perspective. Remarkable omission in the Death Stranding analysis literature.

Apparently people's Google accounts can be shut down for "hate speech" for content on their personal Google Drive. This is actually blatantly horrible, and any sensible progressive should be completely opposed to it.

In all of my hatred and vitriol and support for violence, I want to reiterate my support for universal healthcare for everyone (including Trump-supporters) and my opposition to the death penalty for everyone (including neo-Nazis, and racist rapist cops, etc.)

I've never set foot in Canada. But the Downtown East Side of Vancouver, which is widely hated, is the center of so much activity in drug policy work. Many people there have done so much important stuff there. I should look into going sometime. Should get a Real ID, passport, etc.

This article seems to be AI-generated, and I believe the quote from Christopher Bolton's "Interpreting Anime" is fake and hallucinated. The author Mike Benett's other article is also AI-generated and filled with seemingly fake quotes by Oscar Wilde. Shameful of the IAI to publish these.
