tweet by @fightincowboy:

The amount of performative anti-women bullshit is unsufferable. God forbid there's any women in games now these pearl clutching pussies are crying "THEY MADE IT WOKE".

Michelle Rodriguez has been playing the commando trope for most of her career.
Sigourney Weaver was the sole survivor (alongside the cat) in Alien. Sarah Connor, The Bride from Kill Bill, Trinity from Matrix.

I could go on and on, but the point is we've seen badass women in media for a long time and suddenly all these feckless dorks are crying and getting their undies all twisted because "there's whamen in my game Meanwhile don't forget the main antagonist of Gears was a woman, Queen Myrrah. Of course that's irrelevant to these larping ass tourists.

Honestly it's all so fucking performative. These are not real problems to anyone with an actual life. I don't know a single well functioning adult that spends their days crying about bullshit like this.

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. These fuckers really are vile bastards 😡😡

The worst thing to happen to the consumer the past 20 years is the popularization of the ‘store membership’. I can’t walk into a single market anymore and just get a regular price like everyone else. No, I need to be a member to get your not inflated price. Fuck your memberships and your games.

Airbus is putting its data beyond America's reach. They will run on Scaleway, a French provider, instead. A US law lets American authorities request data held by US firms, including data stored in servers outside the country. Europe is slowly trying to lean less on American technology.
