r/rpg will downvote someone to oblivion for say a hard truth about a cultural problem in the hobby and then upvote threads that say the exact same thing...full of comments that go "Damn well, guess there's nothing to be done then sigh."

Control Resonant is important because it's a game with a male protagonist who is not a emotionless stoic hypercompetent adonis who slides blandly into heroism, but is instead a sad loser who's kind of out of shape and really doesn't want to be here, but won't turn away from people who need help.

Revealing my bias, here, and this won't come as a shock to anyone who knows me, but I cannot overstate how much I hate the concept of "immersion" as it exists in the gaming culture imaginary. Truly just an absolutely absurd idea.

You can get almost any MAGA idiot to agree with any of these things superficially but its irrelevant because they neither understand nor vote on policy except to the extent that a party’s policies explicitly reinforce a hierarchy. Also boo ai slop shit boo

It is telling that Democratic Party officials are mustering a degree of previously unseen swiftness, vigor and aggression to crush what, so far, amounts to a mildly critical social democratic faction.

"Gloria Steinem was a feminist icon bc she deliberately forced popular feminist theory away from the class war at the behest of the CIA, making it palatable for American corporate tokenism; focusing the movement entirely on abortion/the girlboss ideal neutered it & left us toothless re: fascism"

Me to me as I watch everyone praising Gloria Steinem in death, knowing full well how her work with the CIA significantly contributed to the political mess we're in today but also knowing that nobody likes it when I speak unpleasant truths first thing in the morning

Meme of a white woman at brunch on a crowded patio with two other white female friends. With her left hand, she is holding up a phone to show it to her other friends; with her right hand, she is firmly holding her blonde retriever's snout shut so it came bark. The retriever has a thousand yard stare as it sits there looking bored out of its mind.

serious answer: Means testing public services creates a bureaucratic structure beholden to electoral interests including those who despise the services on principle, meaning that as soon as they have executive power they can use those concerns as both a social wedge and a method of denying benefits

I generally agree with this. A line exists though, in both directions. People are notoriously bad at determining when their discomfort becomes actual suffering. Are you actually unsafe or do you feel unsafe? Is your “comfortable” something that for another person is necessary for survival?

I'm always on board for treating right wingers like shit but academics, especially things like law, econ, and history, is almost completely controlled by reactionary libs, not "the left." And if the left dominated art I wouldn't have to constantly end friendships over people wanting their treats.

I don't know how to say this correctly, but there is a category of critique that I find deeply annoying and that is when someone is evaluating a detail's nature rather than its effect. This is why I find "historical accuracy" to be a massive nuisance, at best.
