Kinda feels like Zul'jan dying killed off the community investment in the story lmao Retail story overall feels like it's just meandering until 12.2 though, and I have no desire to burn out on Forever before actual launch, so I have resolved to just soaking in all the delicious WC3 Forsaken content

I remember 10 years ago I said that Evangelical Protestantism is an arm of US Empire and the entire theological/philosophical structure behind it is both intrinsic to US centric cultural empire and also a detriment to humanity by its annihilation of culture and worship of capital

Yep Ppl don't have to be persuaded to accept fascism. If it makes them feel good, if they aren't the outgroup suffering under it? They'll handwave literally anything associated with it, if not fully enjoy it. The only reason the Taliban is floundering now is EVERYONE is suffering, not just women.

It's so sad when a tattoo concept you have is thematically fire but aesthetically it's ass (Wanted to do a Jerusalem cross but replace the four crosses with a Chakana, an Ankh, a latin cross, and a bead cross to represent the four continents)

The biggest problem with integralism, I think, is they just want a moral justification for fascism. They don't want a Catholic state in order to promote virtue, evangelization, and care for the needy. They aren't even assuading a guilty conscience. They want it to be praised for pious aesthetics

The point Allison Keats made in @powermapmag.com with fuller context:

Text from the article reading: "This reminds me of a critical mistake made in previous generations of socialists; the idea that before any political action happens, before it’s worth contesting power, the people need to be educated. Even now, I encounter people who claim it was a disqualifying error that Bernie Sanders spoke in terms of a 99% and 1% instead of workers and capitalists. DSA has built a socialist movement because we have never excluded people who wanted to build with us for having the wrong reasoning. In doing so, we’ve also recognized that political education is something that is best built in the practice of organizing; someone can come to an issue with the wrong framing and become aligned from our framing of the solutions. People come to DSA concerned about their cost of living, become exposed to the interconnectedness of all the issues we care about, and become socialists in the process."

Simultaneously, I do hope content creators grasp that you are responsible for the communities you create If you have a bunch of racists in your comments and chats and you continue to allow them access, that tells everyone you are okay with that. 👍

Hope the devs are beginning to realize that the last twenty years of encouraging Asmongold up through Plunderstorm was an objective mistake, that not all publicity is good publicity, and you just need to ban one (1) man for his den of psychotic roaches to leave the game.

There's a direct pipeline from Blizzard making Orcish culture inherently toxic/bad (per Golden at Blizzcon ten years ago) + having Sylvanas/Horde burn Teldrassil and using IRL language of War Crimes to the Alt Right shifting almost entirely to the Alliance + "Horde Taliban Alliance America" comments

I love how for years people were telling me this isn't how these people view the game and then he just comes right out and transparently says what us Crit theory/Soc/Anthro people were saying for years. It's hilarious. The chapter in my future book just got a lot shorter. ✨

Blizzard genuinely needs to drop this sunken cost fallacy they have with Asmongold and actually ban him and his followers from the game. They've repeatedly shown that they are making WoW a more unsafe place for women, minorities, and the dev team themselves.

I'm up to like 700 blocked accounts in the last 48 hours, with roughly a few dozen rape threats, a few hundred death threats, and the rest just a variety of slurs (unsurprisingly, Asmongold's roach nest have only had two people correctly identify me as Latino).

Asmon is rearing his ugly head again because WoW is one of the only places he can do so. He sucks at every other video game, and he can't stand the heat as a politics streamer now that Trump's bullshit is collapsing inward. If Blizz wants Forever to thrive, they need to cut him off ASAP.

The entire Alt Right in the gaming space taking the Alliance as a metaphor for Western White Supremacy and using the game's in-universe lore as evidence that Black & Brown people are evil/inferior and deserve to die is the natural conclusion of the past 20 years of dev choices.
