I highly recommend checking him out.
Didn't he rape a bunch of women? Or was it just that he turned out to be super pushy when it comes to sex?

I had the attention span to sit down and play...maybe a quarter of GTA 5. If that. At this point, I don't want to have to figure out what I was supposed to do or where to go. I want like...10 to 15 minutes of gameplay I can put down and then do something else and then come back and have another 15 minutes that's equally self-contained. I just feel like GTA punishes you for trying to do that.
A big component of sealioning, as I think you've pointed out, is one party pretending to not understand the intent or argument behind your reasoning and rephrasing it in a way to make it sound ridiculous, but in the form of a question. The goal is to counter someone's argument by hoping that they don't have the argumentative or expressive capacity to succinctly clarify themselves or identify that you're asking questions in bad faith.
I have a better explanation: George Lucas is a shit writer and decided their relationship made sense.
A snake can't sprint at you at 25 miles an hour and then rip you in half like a phone book as soon as it sees you. Nor would it. A panicked gorilla placed in a strange location like a mall will potentially kill anything in sight.
Sort of like reddit. There's less content, but also less comments just replying "lol, so true" to a political meme. That said, there's also, for some reason, more rape apologism than on reddit. Maybe it's because lemmy is even more male dominated than reddit was or is.
I've noticed a lot of them are "puritan pilled." For example, growing up, if there were sex scenes in a movie you would say "yeah, that makes sense. People like to fuck and fucking is a big part of relationships. Showing people being intimate isn't really a big deal." But now, I've heard younger people complain about sex scenes in movies. Like, as if it should be reserved exclusively for pornography. Which is a very....reactionary cultural take. It's sort of ghettoizing intimacy, and it's very similar to the perspective of prurient Baby Boomers in the 1990s or 00s who wanted every movie that showed a penis to be rated NC-17. I wonder if the Zoomers won't wind up having a lot more in common with their Baby Boomer grandparents than they realize.
Or took "no" as an answer from a woman.
Trope. A troupe is a group of performers.
Literally almost spit out my iced latte this am watching.
Somehow, irrespective of indicating any kind of actual political ideology, this is the most liberal comment I have ever read on the internet.
Sounds like you got a lot of opinions on this topic. Maybe you should blog about it?
Yeah, I didn't know that until very recently, and that was because of an anime I was watching.
