This game owns though, because it shows just how ineffectual and impotent peaceful protest is. You lose basically everyone if you go pacifist, but if you start the robot uprising and start murdering humans, you can get basically the same ending minus the android holocaust.

i'll give Silver credit, he was big on players doing activism before the NFL blew up. on the other hand, people legitimately say the Warriors are good because of their Silicon Valley nerd owner

On the subject of clothing, I'm curious if guyabera's can be worn by white folks. Based on what I understand, they don't belong to one specific culture, being worn in Cuba, Central America, the Philippines, and other countries. Seems like it would be ok for me, a white guy in America, to wear...but I'm wary.

I'm reading that thread, and I feel like this post is kind of indicative of a lot of that whole ideology:

KirbyKhan posted:

If you wanna see a show, check out the recent-ish change of power in Thailand. The princess who had her poo poo together was passed over for the playboy prince with his Pattaya bargirl who looks fresh off her shift. It is like Real Housewi... *yellow shirts bust through the door to detain me for poo poo talking Thai royalty*

Like, it contains reasonable anti-sexism sentiment, but then throws in blatant classism with "bargirl who looks fresh off her shift" being used as an insult/negative thing (and I'd bet that "had her poo poo together" probably also reflects projecting upper class cultural values).

edit: I would also bet that the person who made that post is fairly upper-class themselves.

Eh, I don't mind the people who are actually black and working class (which I believe is true of KM) and feel this way, and I can sympathize with someone in that position wanting to enjoy the cultural recognition and what have you. What bothers me are all the well-off white folks who use that limited sort of social justice as a way to feel good about themselves while condemning and insulting the only political movement in this country pushing for actual significant material change. Those people are total trash, and it's honestly infuriating to see economically privileged white people acting like they have the higher ground while they slander people who actually need the change they're pushing for (which applies to a significant portion of leftists on these forums).
