Also pepsi can create world peace, just buy pepsi. I mean its nothing that Coke or Pepsi haven't tried before, but its just as dumb.

To Pepsi's credit, they've finally found something that both liberals and conservatives can unite against. Not even Hitler did that.

There was an amazingly stupid Money Supermarket advert that I just saw last night during Flash/Supergirl - normally they are dumb slice of life stories ("x just saves y moneys on car insurance and he feels EPIC! You're so money supermarket!" is how it flows) but this time x is Skeletor and it's He-Man who says that he is "So Money Supermarket": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vo6YG9U_o8 #EpicSkeletor indeed.

Which makes me think of DiGornio's during the #WhyIStayed topic. It was actually a really funny response. But definitely not the right account to say it.

I think it's the sanitization of the original image.  The cops are geared up like they're at war and look like they're about to totally wreck this unarmed wisp of a woman. Pepsi might not have intended to recreate that image, but other people connected the dots nonetheless. The first time I saw the story about it on Facebook, the headline was something like "Pepsi's tone deaf recreation of iconic image blah blah blah"

Coming on the heels of all the protests against police injustice, and even forgetting the race stuff (which should be pretty obvious) it's clearly taking something that a group of people are very serious about and turning it into a feel-good, sappy commercial. Pepsi probably didn't mean to mock Black Lives Matter but it's not too big a leap to interpret it that way.

It's taking protesting social injustices, something that's quite literally a life and death issue for huge swaths of the population, and spinning it as something flippant and fun that people do because it's trendy and cool.

So, Atlus put out a bunch of rules about streaming Persona 5. Videos must only be 90 minutes long, must not contain story spoilers, no video from major boss fights, and people aren't allowed to show content from after a certain point in the game or Atlus will straight up issue a content ID claim or try and get the account suspended. So basically people are allowed to show grinding. that's sure to make your game look fun and interesting atlus

My favorite streamer is a guy that played through the entirety of Gone Home without saying a word. He or she clicked on every object and examined every letter, vhs tape, and whatever knickknacks were lying around. I watched the whole thing and decided not to buy the game.

It's completely enforceable based on how YT handles things, but I'm sure even folks who play by the rules will get content claimed anyway. The 90 minute rule is probably based on people who livestream then upload the raw video to YT (Twitch deletes VODs after 60 days). Streamers will have a separate channel for the full streams and there are viewers who exclusively watch them that way. The Pepsi ad is extremely gross, much like their product. To say "but it's like any other ad" is willfully ignoring the contemporary context, especially when the casting is taken into account.

It actually is very easy to enforce, and if taken to court, it would be a slam-dunk for the publisher. Streaming is not considered a transformative work, so is not protected by Fair Use and the streamer would be violating the licensing agreement that allows the game to be streamed for profit Let's Plays are arguably transformative, but I wouldn't pick that hill to die on in a court of law

I mean, it seems right plain streaming of gameplay isn't transformative, but some streamers verge on literary analysis, or technical, which might have a sufficient original portion to be defended, maybe? E: EULA EULA lol I guess
