I love seen the doomposting about how terrible Bluesky supposedly is, because you know it's coming from people who think some weird nebulous force made Twitter terrible. No. The users made Twitter terrible. Manufactured Consent fallacy strikes again.

very important questions

After seeing the new Avatar film I'm left with the realization that nobody had The Talk with Aang.

Baldur's Gate 3 has the bitchiest fanbase imaginable. Game made more money than common sense, won Game of the Year, and still has people licking its toes to this day, but its fans actively look for people who don't like it just to shriek and scream at them. Cunts, the lot of 'em.

This isn't a rabbit hole. Most people who were really into Baldur's Gate 1&2 have scathing opinions of BG3. Most people who loved Fallout 1&2 hated Fallout 3. This should not be news unless you can't handle being disagreed with by someone you've never met.

Problem: The Skywalkers are the main characters of the Star Wars films. They are the core of all 9 films. The Windrunners are PRESENT and QUESTGIVERS in nearly every expansion, but to they're anywhere near as prolific is completely absurd.

Trash dev defends trash dev for using trash making machine.

That was a feature, not a bug.

It's funny how when Autotune first came around people hated it because it sounded fake. Then they were like "What if we make it sound REALLY fake? Like a malfunctioning voice box?" And then everyone loved it.

One reason Republicans are so laser targeted on trans kids existing, is that trans kids existing requires accepting the bodily autonomy and consent of children. Which is something republicans absolutely can't do, since they are pedophiles. Their transphobia and pedophilia is them being consistent

Simple fact is this: If you’re a member of the “gender critical” movement, you’re part of a pedophile ring whether you want to be or not.

So cool that Keir Starmer the Queer Harmer enables the cultural genocide of trans people while at the same cuddling and rewarding one of Epstein’s pets. Anti-trans legislation is entirely based on *imagined* versions of the crimes being committed by the legislators and/or their friends.

I’m not allowed to safely use a public bathroom because a literal island of pedophiles said trans people might be sketchy. … and somehow that’s barely a sliver of the things that happened thanks to a literal island of pedophiles making stuff up.

Every time new drama about Courtney comes up I'm like "Damn, Courtney's an abusive, sexually predatory groomer who spews false rape accusations at anyone who crosses her? Shame nobody warned everyone about her when she first showed up."

Sounds good to me

Nothing says 'tis the Season like social media users quote dunking on pleas for people to seek help during an emotionally brutal season. Heads up: detached irony is out. Being snarky to strangers doesn't make you look cool; It makes you look like just another asshole and we are full up on those.

Huh. I wonder why three different people tried to kill this bitch.

I sympathize. I also want to destroy human kingdoms. Not letting Zaela blow up Stormwind was a mistake.

"How do I make the same returns with this new policy?" You don't. You will make less, and you will like it.

At the very least, after years of pressuring critics to give their faves automatic high scores, it’s a bit rich to get angry at one for doing exactly that. Yes this is about Pokémon.

I shouldn’t *know* the scores of certain games before reviews are even out, but there’s an enforced belief that some series/studios are so inherently good they deserve automatic praise. Deviation isn’t tolerated, it’s violently mobbed. Going with such a strong flow is easy.

I don’t blame any critic who pulls a few punches to avoid the mob. I’d be shocked if it doesn’t happen - it’s a trivial thing to do compared to threats from unhinged people. It’s what fans want. They literally attack critics for not pandering to them, not *anticipating* their uniform standards.

I’ve faced some truly disgusting harassment over my reviews. Cyberpunk zealots tried to trigger an epileptic episode in one critic for a single complaint. Another got tons of hate for giving GTAV a nearly perfect score just because she had a few caveats. A chilling effect is the desired outcome.

I hope fandoms know that when they’re mad at a review for rating a contentious entry too highly, they’re partly responsible. When you’ve spent years getting mad over less than perfect scores, you help condition the attitude that certain series inherently deserve high baselines. You wanted this.

The Leftist version of this relies on the idea that working class and rural Republican voters do so because the Dems won't bring in a welfare state or full socialism. The idea that no-one would actually vote for cruelty or fascism "if shitlibs weren't so useless/complicit" is unshakeable

Extremely online leftists are upset that posting isn't actually doing anything and that their wine moms are.

Person who can't be bothered to do any activism tells people they're not doing activism right.

In my experience, "controlled opposition" is something that people call opposition that they resent or distrust because they are not the ones in control of it. Nevermind that "no kings" IS in fact a demand (so is "abolish ICE!") A "party" this large is ALWAYS innately asking for something: To exist
