But Max Von Sydow's character was a good guy...

And Andy Serkis was playing an alien. Add to that the fact that they spent the whole movie trying to find the magical white dude who's gonna solve all their problems for them. But, yeah it hates white men or whatever.

Also gotta love the quotes on "good" and "bad" even though star wars is like the least morally ambiguous universe ever.

The magical white dude was luke skywalker, who appeared at the end of the film.

Just tell me I'm exotic.
I like how they use the voice actor/capture actor for an alien to talk about how much Star Wars hates white people. IT'S A loving ALIEN. Going by that logic then Star Wars has always hate white people with the amount of aliens they had in the movies.

I know. My point is the white guy is still the most important character in the narrative, in that all the main characters spend the whole movie trying to find him.

The last few months? They realize they've been beating this gamer gate horse for nearly three years now, right?

I'm assuming this is a parody given the "romantic partners" line, but then again there's incels, and they don't seem to have a modicum of shame.

It is 100% plausible to me that this is completely sincere, and that the rejection being referred to is what happens when someone reveals their "interest in gaming" via a ten minute rant about how SJW feminazi libtard cucks are trying to destroying gaming forever.

I mean, it takes a special sort of stupid to think that the part people find objectionable there is the gaming and not the everything else, but, well, I present as evidence everything else ever posted in this thread.

Man, so many of the game show hosts of my youth turned out to be dumbass right-wing cranks and it's extremely depressing.

Oh, I'm well aware, but that makes a certain sort of horrible sense, since predators like that almost universally contrive ways to be around children in an ingratiating and trustworthy sort of way. But game show hosts? That's a job that seems to me to be one of the closest things to a real-life Santa Claus: you spend time playing games with people who are all extremely and unguardedly enthusiastic about it and you get to give away gifts. I'm just fountain-of-Psyduck baffled at how often that overlaps with the "gently caress you, got mine" philosophy.

The previous six movies were about how special and great white boys can be, in an adaptation of a Samurai story which had next to no Japanese people in it. I can't really blame the studio for wanting to balance the scale a bit.

Even if it's supposed to be coverage, it's not like he finished his sentence or thought.

He has since removed it and replaced it with:

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/869858333477523458
(If it gets removed, it says, "Who can figure out the true meaning of "covfefe" ??? Enjoy!")

Took him until about 6am EST to get around to it, though.

I'm no good at telling which tweets are his and which are his staff's, but if you told me he did this I'd believe it just because it took so long for him to do. Staffers presumably wouldn't take six or seven hours to get around to fixing his mistakes.

They don't even have to go into full-on rant mode; if the junk I've seen from r/relationships is any indication, a good chunk of gamer guys seem to feel that an ideal partnership is "I play video games literally all the time, she dispenses affection and sex when I feel like it and otherwise is not involved in my life." Which is not most ladies' idea of a great relationship.

But I guess the real problem is girls are all mean.
