while he was too young to lawfully be able to purchase the gun that he used

It's insane that the only reason he was noticed and brought into their political organization was through ~~murder~~ shooting and killing people.

That's how gangs initiate people.

Edit: removed "murder" so nobody whines about whether he lawfully drove to another state with a gun and shot people.

You're implying "li" means quiet and I have no choice but to believe this madness because I can't be bothered to look it up.

I saw your "liberationschool" link about this topic in a previous comment.

That same website is heavily pro-Russian in the Ukraine war discussion, and it's already trying to re-write events that we've witnessed in the last couple years.

You're just trying to spread propaganda.

I agree with others that I literally never hear these topics and would recommend you find other sources if their talking points aren't about gameplay and that bothers you.

But I'm very confused by your comment: "without worrying if they have enough white or black or gay or trans characters."

How would there be a wrong number of any of those types of people? If they didn't decide they wanted one of those types of people, does the character just need to be a straight white male?

You've posed this as a "both sides" argument which gives me a decent inclination toward where you stand. You don't want to believe you're biased, but I doubt you've complained about a male and female character kissing in a storyline, or an all-white character cast because those scenarios feel "normal". But if they add a trans character there's a discussion about whether the developers were "forcing" them into the story as if they'd be better off as some other type of person.

I hope you consider what you're looking for without diversity in games, and why anyone's bringing up the "issue" of different types of people being in a game.

Same with Spongebob. I understand Squidward now.

I'm not sure how it's their fault when Texas's attorney general sued them specifically for not complying.

Last Epoch just officially released and it's pretty good too.

In like 3 weeks I already have more hours played on it than any other ARPG I've tried. The fact that I can mostly understand the skill trees makes it way more approachable than games like PoE.

And if every business is doing it, it’s not realistic to tell consumers to just stop going to every business.

I don't know how you can say "boycott those businesses" with a straight face when asking for tips has become so pervasive in every customer-facing industry.

I'm not sure how I made it "nobody's fault". It's the corporation's fault for low wages, and the government's fault for allowing them to do that.

You're right that they have no incentive to change on their own. And if every business is doing it, it's not realistic to tell consumers to just stop going to every business.

You realize you're turning against consumers in the same economic class instead of turning on the people actually creating the problem.

It sucks that low wage workers are stuck in the middle, but corporations are also relying on customer guilt to pay their labor costs while posting record profits.

It's not really fair to blame the customer for that.
