No,no you are quite right, I apologize. It is in no way intellectually dishonest to insist that Yale providing a scholarship for veterans in 2003 to a straight white male is exactly the same as affirmatively hiring people to increase diversity of skin color and sexual orientation regardless of merit. Because it is a well-known fact that straight white men were a minority in American Ivy League universities in the early 2000s.
@DipshitDead
Ahh, resorting to Wikipedia. 'K. Why not say that DEI started in 1619? 1492? 1800 BC?
For the dipshits in the back: RETROACTIVELY CALLING SOMETHING THAT EXISTED BEFORE DEI DOES NOT MAKE IT DEI. Please explain, using your own words and not quoting the bullshit artists at Politifact, how Diversity Equity and Inclusion, a phrase with very specific meaning, that only appeared in the last, what, 5 years? applies to a scholarship for low income veterans 22 years ago? Are you saying that a straight white male would be considered "Diverse" in Yale? In 2003?
Everything you just said was bullshit. There was no DEI when Vance was accepted into Yale. DEI is a relatively new concept, one that, unlike affirmative action, requires active discrimination against the white, male, and straight. And yeah, a lot of us have noticed that leftist white women have designated themselves as a "minority." Also, maybe when you can post something in the UK about, oh, I don't know, that migrants raping British girls is bad without getting arrested then m...
Is it possible that having an "all star voice actor lineup" is why the development costs of games has skyrocketed?
Save you a click: it's because players can "sell their souls" in-game to Mephisto, the Marvel comics version of the devil. It's not an absurd reason, it's a religious reason, one you may or may not agree with.
Go figure, they cast a Latina for the diversity points, but she is entirely too good looking so that is offensive to the "differently aesthetic" plus it attracts the dreaded "Male Gaze" so they make the character model look like she hangs out at truck stops offering affection for Pall Malls and MadDog 20/20.
Far Cry 5/New Dawn are my favorites as well. I've played them multiple times
You are correct that this article is dumb clickbait. That doesn't nullify that PETA is, at best, useless hypocritical assholes (don't want medicines derived from animals, such as INSULIN but then turn around and defend using insulin so they don't die; don't want people owning pets, no live animals used in movies, etc) or at worst PETA animal shelters kill upwards of 71 to 83% of the animals they take in. There are news reports of PETA animal shelters dumping dead puppies in du...
"Modern Audience"
She has said that "people who menstruate" is a silly term and that a male rapist who suddenly decides he is a woman shouldn't be out in a women's prison. Thus the fake outrage and attempted defenestration.
"Another nice thing to see from an industry that has historically had many shortcomings when it comes to protecting the people who work within it, is the reaction of quite a few video game companies to the abortion rights debacle in United States. While many indie developers and smaller studios quickly voiced their concern and support for human rights, the first big studio to do so was Bungie, which among other things has promised to cover the costs of anyone who needs to travel to anoth...
What did they do to Ghost Rider? Why did someone decide that special needs helmet was better than a flaming human skull? And why does this game include Iron Man, Captain America, Capt. Marvel, and Spiderman?
Even Neil Druckmann's mom doesn't get a pleasantly full heart when she sees his douchey, smug, manlet face
This is a huge problem across all entertainment types. Comics, video games, action films -- if there was a primarily male audience then the powers that be decided it wasn't because males and females like different stuff, and that is perfectly fine, no, because sexism and the dreaded Male Gaze. So then people come in to change that by pandering to an audience that never cared in the first place all the while driving away the original audience. The funniest part about Tomb Raider, for examp...
I must concur with the prevailing opinion. Honestly, including a fast travel option other than the mostly useless one they gave would have helped a lot. I got tired of retreading the same ground just to get to a mission start
"Let's not listen to people who might actually be buying our product, instead let's heed the screeching of damaged weirdos who write for garbage sites like Kotaku, or better yet, random Twitter posters with severe mental issues on full display! That's a marketing strategy!"
The problem I had with the "No Russian" level is how pointless it all was. Sure, you could just walk around not shooting anyone, but your actions had no effect on the outcome. Hanging back and then mowing down your compatriots results in a game over. So at best you lumber around, witness to a massacre of innocent civilians, then a gunfight/chase that ends with your deep cover CIA character getting shot in the face and left to implicate the CIA and start a war. Feels like they could ...

Yes. Yes I was, after delivering a world class performance of the National Anthem and umping a baseball game.
