Carrying a gun at any protest of government action is a good idea, unless of course its an anti-second amendment protest. I wish more leftists would do that.

maybe they just like the cartoon and/or dislike the videogame about the gruff swordsman dude

idk that I can get behind that, because witcher 3 is pretty good, but like not every preference in entertainment media is indicative of serious psychological and emotional problems (or alternately the choice between childrens cartoons about dyke superwomen and fantasy videogames about monster hunting is a wash in that regard)

That would be fine. But the problem is they want every piece of media to conform to their ideals. It's ok for games like Hatred, or GTA, or Doom to co-exist with whatever they like. It's ok for media to be "problematic" for some people, and for others to find it fine.

Not everything has to appeal to everyone.

There is also the prevailing notion of racism and whiteness being akin to the Original Sin, which I whole-heartedly reject, and hopefully that understanding of racism exists only on tumblr/the internet.

People continue to say that trump was the worst republican nominee possible and the worst choice before the people, and that will always be false to me. Cruz would have been far far worse. He'd do everything trump is doing, as well as targeting LGBT and a true believer on abortion and anti science. You'd get the worst parts of trump, the Christian Right, and the establishment all wrapped up in one unappealing package. As well, the dude is actually super competent behind closed doors. That he may have actually won if he was nominated this year, terrifies me more than anything the trumpers have done.

If trump has done anything good, it's that he's put off the chances of Cruz getting anywhere near the white House for at least a decade.

He'd also be much more competent and would get the GOP to unite behind him much more then Trump has. He'd absolutely be able to do more damage and have a more lasting impact on the future then Trump will.

I registered as Democrat to specifically try and stop Clinton from getting the nomination because I'd rather see actually progressive social programs than half-assed liberal ones.

so did a lot of other people, or at least they tried, but alas when the Democrats exclude you from their private club that happens to be part of the foundation of our country's election system it's not considered voter suppression.

well in theory it's for notable people who are verified, the problem is when they take it away from people without banning them, it demonstrates there is something else going on there.

It's why I never care about "cultural critiques" of video games. If the game is good, I couldn't care less about the time one of the creator's "said a thing." I also don't care if people think the game is "bad" or "problematic," if I enjoy it, I'll play it. If I don't I won't. Ez, peezy.

Kek comes from WoW, actually. The two sides in the game have their language filtered if they try to talk to each other, and lol is filtered to kek.

I'd take the whole "frog meme is racist" thing with a grain of salt, since some of the other things that have been called racist over the past year have included:

-flashing the peace sign with both hands
-drinking a glass of milk

kek is from Starcraft as the earliest that I know. in the 90's if you played on bnet late at night you'd encounter Koreans during your matchup. because of non unified characters of the Korean language only a few letters would show up as anything but squares. k and e were a few of them. also poo poo like ^_^ -_- etc

Nope. I'm saying that just because "everything is political, even peter rabbit" doesn't mean that whatever political bullshit you want to spew about the new shooty man game, outcome of the superbowl, or comic book movie is valid or worth engaging. In fact you will improve your enjoyment of those things if you actively avoid trying to shoe horn in whatever vapid political "insights" you heard about from the internet into popular culture.
