i agree with some of what you’re saying but not the experiencing more harassment on social media than you do IRL part. i don’t mean to invalidate your anecdotal evidence in any way but marginalized people have always used the internet as a way to connect with eachother and have a safe space away from the harassment they face IRL. and i also don’t face nearly as much harassment IRL than i do online but that’s because i don’t feel safe being me IRL unless around an extremely select few people. but if i was going around proudly exclaiming who i am the way i am online then i would definitely face MORE harassment in person than i ever have IRL.

i suppose it shouldn’t be surprising but these comments sure are proving the articles point. i guess blaming the people being oppressed is a lot easier than blaming or even actually acknowledging the systemic oppression when you’re a brickheaded fascist, especially when you’re unaffected by/benefiting from it

i know this will hurt feelings but this is just gonna keep happening as long as y’all use GenAI. this is quite literally what it was made for

i remember pointing out that this would happen in a couple places and ppl said i was just being negative. like a live service skate game is a dead in the water idea but ppl were so starved for skate content they just didn’t listen to sense. look where they are now

absolute fucking gooner logic

i genuinely don’t understand how being indexable could be considered a violation of privacy. consent, sure. but why would you want to avoid being indexed?

piracy is always justified

Jeff Bezos is a named investor of Slate, so i wouldn’t trust it

Well what you’re bringing up now is a very nuanced discussion. nuanced and possibly even subjective.

but my take, reeducation as a concept surely doesn’t remind me of anything ethical in real world history. it also still reminds me of a carceral system, just a differently short-sighted one. i can’t imagine a crime befitting of reeducation either, i mean let’s talk about bigotry for instance. how far do you go trying to avoid shunning a bigot before you’re just doing them the favour of giving them people to abuse? how would you teach a bigot out of bigotry, in this scenario they’re already living in a world without the systems that cultivate an environment of bigotry yet they persist. they’re beyond help as far as i’m concerned. also, some crime happens out of necessity because of being left behind by capitalism.

i at least don’t think crimes against humanity are worthy of mercy of any sort.

in a just, abolitionists society that doesn’t believe in the carceral system or death penalty so called “shunning” is a powerful thing. someone does something cruel that the community finds irredeemable? state the facts of what they did as publicly as possible so everyone knows and then shun them. let them either change their ways out of survival or parish while clinging to their bigotry and hatred. it’s the only solution that i’ve found.

the way games are going now is the way games have BEEN going. capitalism’s only purpose is infinite growth at any and all expense. this is what that looks like for gaming, bigger bigger bigger while bandaging it up with TAA and framegen and DLSS. when this house of cards tumbles, i know i will capitalise on it by not investing in the same mistakes again. but, i can only really hope that others do the same.

all violent empires end up ouroborosing, it’s inevitable. the important part is whether or not the people also being consumed capitalise on this event or not

as an ace person we need less romance in games period. or at least the fucking ability to opt out, it’s always gooner shit anyway

given the history of video games, and video game censorship, i know this has a low likelihood of coming to fruition. however, i would adore a game where i massacre a bunch of capitalists like ultrakill

all white people have to do is say “sorry i guess” and they instantly get equipped with iron clad armour that prevents any further discussion of their bigoted harm and the kind of generational harm they’ve contributed to. try telling the black kids who had to grow up during his peak that he’s apologised. it’s not gonna change anything

in that article (which i had to use the Bypass Paywalls Clean extension to comfortably read) Proton states “we do not comply with US subpoenas from either party.” which of course is because they comply fully with Swiss subpoenas LOL

companies like Sony literally created the economic conditions that make this disgusting tactic unsurprising to see btw.

the amount of problems i don’t have to deal with because i simply don’t use GenAI

not at all surprising, we’re talking about a company that almostly solely hires white cis men and refuses to tackle that
