As a non American I would say this is far more problematic example of a f'ed up medical system and how it works.

fez_machine posted:Peter David has not been nice about Roma in the relatively recent past That was years ago and I thought he did a massive mea culpa about it when someone pointed out how wrong he was. And even if I'm wrong about that, he doesn't deserve to have to beg for charity online to not die.

The lack of recompense (or even recognition) given to creators by Marvel Studios really is bad. It's nowhere near as serious as what's happened to Peter David, but I was listening to a podcast with Chris Hastings the other day where he mentioned that in return for the Loki series using the President Loki character and prominently using Vote Loki in the advertising he got... a mug. I realise that when you're playing in the big company sandbox and getting to iterate on their characters you can't expect to have full control over subsequent use, but it feels like there should be some way of recognising creators when an adaptation of a story they wrote or drew goes on to make millions.

That is Wu Cheng (Originally named Chop-Chop) from the original Blackhawk comics back in the '40s. Blackhawk is there too with his hand Wu Cheng's shoulder. The mural was updated with a different face later. But yeah this was not a good look for sure.

It's not that surprising that a post appearing to solicit sympathy evokes memories of a very public racist rant. Apologies don't seem to stand out in memory as strongly as the original offense. He isn't entitled to people forgiving and completely forgetting because he showed a slight bit of remorse. That said, I don't wish suffering on anyone, and people should be provided Healthcare. I can't think of many better uses for tax dollars. B33rChiller fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Feb 26, 2024 |

Here's the amended version that was on the wall. Still not great in regards to that character but at least they had the sense not to leave it like it was originally.

B33rChiller posted:It's not that surprising that a post appearing to solicit sympathy evokes memories of a very public racist rant. It definitely didn't help that Peter David defended his racist tirade before someone finally told him what a moron he was enough that it made him apologize. Also his apology was still pretty racist (insisting that what the blatantly racist and lying tour guide told him was 100% true and other things) but it was a start. I'd rather him not die either, but I can understand why people would still be less than happy with him.

Quietly should be the key word of that. You know they're going to continue to explore the use of AI. Pretty much everyone is. I'm absolutely sure it's why there has been so many lay offs in the game industry lately.

Game industry layoffs are mostly because games made bank and interest rates were low through lockdowns, and neither trend was permanent I'm sure there are plenty of cynical execs thinking they can automate all these inconvenient workers away but the macro factors are way more influential
