greatn posted:In Japan this character was 14. The translation says she's 18, and that's censorship. Now watch me dox an unrelated employee of the company and prove she's an escort and get her fired. It was even better if I recall -- the localization team put more clothes on the totally-18-year-old-girl and they bitched about that too.

awesmoe posted:If you dont pay for good journalism then you're gonna get bad journalism No, and I think those people deserve the money they make because they earned it by doing their loving jobs. The hacks who are enforcing false equivocation narratives are not doing their jobs and are actively working against the public good and the safety of the republic and they deserve to go out of business. lovely, dangerously disengenous "journalism" should be punished, not rewarded. Because we live in a society with freedom of the press, that punishment must take the form of the only type of protest these people understand: gently caress you, no payment for bad press, money talks. Do meaningful work and actually inform people in the truth or get rightfully called a massive prick.

I can't believe that they changed the female protagonist to 18. What was wrong with her being 17? MY IMMERSION IS RUINED. *is a 28 year old white dude*

Lightning Knight posted:Lmao those hacks don't deserve a single dollar and can go get hosed. You don't owe major corporations jackshit and they aren't deserving of their positions if they'll happily let fascism march on for pageviews. This is an extremely stupid take. Remember that great Mother Jones article with the guy who posed as a prison guard for a while? It cost FAR more to produce than it made in digital revenue. The whole business model is wildly unsustainable as we're in the era of ad block, and Facebook Instant Articles eating into everyone's bottom line. But if you think that people should provide you with ~content~ for free, then you're part of the problem. If you think that you should use ad block to get at that content for free, you are literally stealing. If you don't like a site with ads, don't go there at all (god knows there are some sites with loving autoplay videos and poo poo that I won't go to anymore.)

These people are getting paid either way by the business that employ them, not be me watching their ads. And that business believes that crappy journalism sells best. It's up to us to prove that wrong by not rewarding them for their terrible behavior. We do not owe corporations a drat thing, full stop. Either they change and do proper journalism, in which case they will have earned their profits, or they don't and rightfully go out of business. But corporations are not owed profits by us, they earn it for providing a quality service. These people are not. Lightning Knight fucked around with this message at 21:13 on Sep 8, 2016 |

My problem with the Johnson gaff and the defense of "well most people don't know Aleppo/He thought it was an acronym" is that the biggest issue isn't that he didn't immediately know what Aleppo meant. Sure most people if asked about "the Syrian refugee crisis" could tell you at least something about it, as opposed to asking about "the Crisis in Aleppo". But Gary Johnson is running for president. He does need to be held to a higher standard. The issue is that this shows how little this crisis means to him. It shows how little the problem of almost 5 million refugees matters to him, and how little it matters to him that a major power in the Middle East is having such a deadly civil war that it's displacing enough people that it's causing global disruption. It's not like he hasn't heard of it. It's been a major issue for years now. The Syrian Civil War didn't just happen at 4am the morning of this interview and he missed the briefing. This isn't defensible as "Well I'm human enough to admit what I don't know." This is not a niche issue, this is major world news. And even if you give him the benefit of the doubt with the acronym defense his further response was crap as well. Which makes sense since he has no policy position on Syria. The words "Syria", "Aleppo", and "Refugee" do not appear in any of Johnson's policy positions on his site under those relevant topics. Even elsewhere he has no position on Syria or the refugee crisis. The closest assumption you can make comes from his Foreign Policy page: "No Nation Building. No Policing the World. More Security Here at Home.". Most likely he has no plan because he doesn't plan on extending beyond America's borders. This is a man who wants to be placed in a position to handle crises like this saying that situations like this don't even register with him. It's the standard libertarian "gently caress you, got mine" mentality but placed on a global scale. If Johnson is president, based on this answer, I'd be really worried about what the position of the United States of America would be with regards to global aid. We certainly aren't helping Middle Eastern Refugee's, given Johnson's current policy positions and today's comments. What about another type of disaster? What about the whole concept of US aid to allies? Hell, if there's another Hurricane Sandy or Katrina would Johnson just say "Well everyone should help how they can but that's up to each individual. However the Federal Government's money will be staying where it is"? That's the real issue with his response.

I said hacks, which is specific in this context because amazingly, not every journalist in America is a sell out who would happily push Donald Trump on us for pageviews. In your context a "hack" is "anyone who doesn't do the work that you, Lighting Knight, think is sufficient." Which is stupid. If you don't like something, don't read their poo poo. Consuming someone's poo poo WITHOUT paying for it is not only stealing, but it also defeats the purpose. Publishers see shitloads of traffic to dumb poo poo that lightning knight doesn't like, which begets more dumb poo poo that lightning knight doesn't like. Andrast posted:It is literally not stealing. At best, it's the equivalent of going up to a newsstand, reading someone's newspapers and magazines, and then putting them back without paying for them. That strikes me as stealing.

Like "Donald Trump is a racist bald-faced liar." That's not a political opinion, that is the reality we live in.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending the horserace bullshit and I'm absolutely not defending whatever the gently caress the ny times is doing recently with the rewriting stories and that crap, but look, if you don't pay for (eg) the washington post, based on the reporting they've been doing this election cycle, then don't expect them to be around in 2020 or 2024. Like, your "protest" only works if you were paying in the first place. Otherwise they lose something they never had, and maybe if they had it in the first place they would have done better.

In theory whitelisting solves this, but it's far easier to just blanket "block all ads; gently caress everyone." ImpAtom posted:... So? What does this have to do with your point? My point is that if you are using ad block, you are not paying for what you consume. Which only increases the ad burdens on sites for the poor bastards who aren't using ad block. You seem to want to treat the entire Internet as a library. Which it isn't. Sorry poo poo doesn't work that way; it would be really nice if it did but instead we're rapidly approaching a moment where poo poo gets bad enough that essentially everything is run through Facebook. And yes, I absolutely would complain if someone posted gated content on somethingawful. That's just another way of circumventing a paywall and it's a lovely thing to do.
