Literally what is the point of communism if our goals are not to protect people and improve lives? Treatbrained nonsense.
You do not need be exposed to gore, and the process of making it is actively harmful to workers. We're not sitting here "afraid" of mortal kombat, there's just a point where worker rights needs to be prioritized over your desire for simulated snuff treats, and we've already gone well past the point.
A warrior's drink.
I think there's a level of hyperrealistic ultraviolence where it's genuinely impossible to not have a high risk of causing trauma to people. We have absolutely crossed past the point where media is now being produced that even in a vacuum absent of the culture around the violence, the violence itself has become traumatic.
Arguing over whether pokemon or Elden ring are too violent is silly, but we've reached a point where some game developers are now being expected to learn incredibly detailed aspects of physics and human anatomy specifically so that they can create upsetting body horror animations that are indistinguishable from real torture.
This stuff isn't healthy for anyone to create or to view, and shouldn't be a thing. I don't care if you're creating the world's most based game about Lyudmila Pavlichenko killing Nazis, there's a point where the gore becomes purely for the sake of itself and actively unhealthy for anyone to engage with in any way.
Probably also searching.
I swear to god, every time I'm exposed to heterosexual culture I walk away from it far more confused and concerned than I was expecting to. I keep preparing myself for greater and greater dissonance, but every time I still walk away from it having underprepared and feeling like a vulcan. Highly illogical.
Hey, who should we get to play our characters in this franchise where people are lucky to make it to 35 and most of our main characters are in their 20s or younger?
What if we hire a bunch of Medicare beneficiaries?
Since they're already getting Social Security payments, we can get away with paying them scale!
I mean, not constant. But I'm talking about the goofs from instances like lemm.ee or dbzero
Absolutely correct. Good faith criticism of the unfortunate places where AES states have not yet socially progressed is permitted.
Posting this from a 1 hour old account is far more of a suspicious action than posting this from your main. Unless your main is on one of the lib instances that are constantly sending bad faith trolls, of course.
A field trip for the kids at Camp Dropshot, a counterrevolution themed CIA childrens outreach program jointly funded by generous donations from Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorganChase that focuses primarily on teaching children how to be compradors and to spin civil unrest into regime change.

I think an important place to start when trying to pick out a shoe or boot is considering what you're going to do in them.
Are you going hiking? In what kind of environment? Desert? Fording rivers and streams? Mud? Are these work boots? Do you need a steel toe? Do you need lineman's boots? Are these just going to be worn indoors?
There is no one boot to rule them all. They're a tool, you need the right one for the job.
"If everyone consents to working in the collapsing asbestos mine without coercion then there's no reason to stop them."
Literally every argument you've made in favor of this has just been libertarian Consensual Capitalism nonsense.
Most people don't seem to be genuinely interested in doing this work or making this type of content, either, outside of the structure of being assigned to do it by their corporate employer. The indie games that do lean into this trope of realistic ultraviolence based on real life gore have all had this triple whammy of fascist developers, reveling in making others uncomfortable as the first and only goal, and not really having the interest or skill to make a game that people will want to play. That's where we got things like Agony and Hatred, both of which hover right around the 40% mark of shame on review sites.
I'm not saying that all violence in video games should be banned, I'm saying that there's a level of realistic violence being produced in media that has gone beyond the level of reasonable and shouldn't be allowed for the same reasons that surgeons shouldn't be allowed to skip handwashing, that parents shouldn't be permitted to deny their children vaccines, and that bikers shouldn't be allowed to ride without a helmet. These are unreasonable and troubling risks that people shouldn't be permitted to consent to.
