People pick on Batman because he's a billionaire, but most superheros are pro-cop, pro-establishment, and pro-government. They don't use their abilities for societal change, choosing instead to solve all problems by punching.

Show me a hero arc where the goal is anything but a return to the status quo.

Bitching online while still pre-ordering that shit is not activism lol

Your comment is a perfect example of what OP is talking about. You believe that if gamers changed their purchasing decisions on mass, then companies would have to change. What is that if not activism? You're treating capitalism as though it were a democracy.

And you're wrong btw, Game companies make games for investors, not gamers. If you don't believe me then please explain why so many live service games get made even though gamers have clearly voted against them with their wallets.

Milton's Paradise Lost doesn't paint Hell as pleasant, but Satan is absolutely the protagonist of the story. That's 1667.

The Germans were notorious for using on-the-nose naming conventions. For example a radio-homing system was called "Odin", which the British correctly guessed was using one transmitter rather than the usual two because Odin only had one eye.

IDK the reason they didn't deploy that thing, but it certainly wasn't prudence or concern for pilot safety because the Me163 rocket plane was used.

This was two years ago:

Oxygen tanks are not bombs.

I think the worst example of this was a Robert Redford move I saw once where an oxygen tank was loaded in a tube, the stem was knocked off, and the tank flew into a guard tower and exploded like it was an RPG.

My pet peve is people who insist I know how to disassemble an M14 blindfolded before my opinion about shooting children is valid.

(I know how to unload most guns, which is the only useful thing to do with them)

There was reporting in the Washington Post that contradicts this.

Senior Israeli officials said they voiced support for the cease-fire proposal, but Nasrallah withheld his consent, insisting on a cease-fire for Gaza first, U.S. and Middle Eastern officials said.
