To be fair Candice Owens worked really hard for this title, for her it was a matter of professional pride. Hasan and Greta had great episodic performance with their vile "killing children is bad vibes" rethoric, but Candice's project of "how about tactical counter-genocide" simply outshines anything those two could put out. She's a maverick.

So, listen, I'm not making a case for all of them, but...

Seriously though white people fucked stuff up for native americans and africans pretty hard, and just because it's not discussed in the slightest and everyone (white people) pretend it's not an issue, it doesn't mean it's not an issue. It's less about white people though, and more about capital class that upholds the status quo, the by-product of which is the white supremacy - and that is very parrarel to the zionist claim.

Because if game world is filled with beautiful people and all defects are removed, then the game world feels atrifical instead of being immersive. That's even more important for the main character, as this is the person you're supposed to identify with, and that's going to be shallow if that person lacks any substaintial flaws or reasons to be insecure. Furthermore, conventionally attractive people are (aside from being boring to look at) treated differently in society, which would either have to be reflected in the story and change the dynamic and struggles the character was supposed to face, or not be adressed at all and feel atrifical. Next we have representation, which is obviously the issue for the incels here. Ciri in the trailer is hot as fuck. The very idea that's she's "not enough" for any of them is laughable. The issue they have is that she's a woman, something they despise and see as inferior to themselves, being portrayed as a powerful human being with unyielding character, standing against the traditions in the trailer to boot. That's the exact same thing they've been doing to discredit feminists for the past hundred years, claiming all of them are ugly and thus unworthy of engaging in dialog with. That's their signature and default position to absolutely any non-subservient woman in media, and claiming it's actually about aesthetics is bullshit so transparent they can't see their own reflection in, which is most likely for the better.

Also you have hundreds of games that cater to your desires, go play those. If you don't like something, don't engage with it.

Thanks, I've never actually ate a banana bread

They ranted about how ugly she is as well. Even if Jesus came down for a second coming, but more like a remaster of the first one because, you know, the sin, and he tried as hard as his omnipotent ass could, he would fail to save any of them.

Or rather, anyone who would use 7 dildos - lets not bundle up with those degenerates the God loving Christians that fight to protect the purity and sanctity of Gods children that do happen to rail themselves with 6 dildos every night. I'd love to know what kind of science they used to calculate that 6 is fine in the eyes of their maker. If you strip away the context of those ghouls pushing slowly and successfuly for eradication of your personal freedom, and just look at the depicted scene as is, it's pretty wacky.

At first I was like "barbaric", but then I thought to myself that 6 dildos per person sounds abundant. I've decided to believe that they were about to fight an owner of 7 dildos and implemented that ban to reduce their power. Like "there are 7 of us and you have only 6 dildos what are you going to do" because the 7th dildo would be illegal.

And yes I know that the grounds of this ban are absurd and barbaric, I do wish hunger and pestilence upon those who voted it in, it's just that any discussion regarding it had to be hilarious. What are they trying to prevent by restricting the access to 7th dildo, gang wars?

How do you reconcile the understanding of her not being a good person and doing harm to the world with being a Swiftie? That's a genuine question, I find identifying with the group supporting or admiring the person or idea I myself am opposed to on the ideological level hard to imagine. I can understand it being the case if one is defending the lesser evil, as they are coerced to do so by implied existence of the greater evil, but while I'm not well versed in the Swift lore I believe there isn't any evil twin running around that she needs to stop. Unless.

That's not an attack, I believe that being a Swiftie might mean something else than what I understand by this term and I am making a fool out of myself. Still, it does seem to mean supporting what you're opposed to. How do you resolve that contradiction?

Quick google revealed that on average apparently 327 people are shot in USA every day, and 1 in 5 people have a family member that has been fatally shot. In comparison, in my country 267 people have been murdered by any means in entire the 2022. Population difference is a bit over 9x, so sure, that makes it a bit less grim, but USA still does more gun violence alone in a single week per capita, than my country does any kind of violence (and trust me we Poles are inventive kind) in entire year.

I think the "problem" isn't related to there being too few people trigger happy enough in USA, but I'm myself not too sure what it is that makes median voter more prone to shooting innocent strangers instead of depraved bilionaires. While I might sound sarcastic, I'm really not, I'm honestly bewildered by this and has been for years now.

I don't want to sound bloodthirsty, but I was always really confused why this wasn't happening regularly, at least in the States. Those people, the CEOs, are the faces of corporations that fucked many people over. With the amount of the violent gun crimes in USA you would think those CEOs would be targets of disgruntled gun owners all the time instead of next to never.

At the risk of sounding a bit more bloodthirsty, since the current capital class is basicially free of consequences for their opression of the working class due to incredibly corrupt justice system, those things should be a natural outcome of the working class frustration. Especially accounting for absurd access to deadly and easy to use guns. Nature is healing.
