Yeah but they weren’t one of the main driving forces behind a major political party at the time.

OK you guys sure seem to take your pandering really seriously, so here you go: I’m sorry, this scene is peak writing and a major step for inclusivity. EA is a true champion of the LGBT community, and certainly not a bunch of soulless businessmen driven by profits and focus groups.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

I’m not bothered at all lol, I would have already forgotten about it if you weren’t so bothered yourself :) But yeah, IMO it would have been better if they had used a less “modern” word. You did notice that fantasy characters usually don’t speak like they’re from the 21st century, right?

Did you read the article? I found it pretty convincing, as an example “non-binary” is not a word I expect to be said in a fantasy setting. The author also mentions a fantasy book where it’s done much more naturally.

If you read the article you’ll see that the author takes issue not with the inclusion itself, but the hamfisted way in which it is included. Pandering can be fine, but when it’s just checking boxes in a cringy, lazy way it’s not, and worse it becomes fodder for the gamergate type to rage about.

(If you haven’t seen Severance yet, get on your big screen and watch it now, you won’t regret it)

Ce mec est une sombre merde et il mérite d’être puni. Donc je vais certainement pas m’apitoyer sur son sort, mais une peine de prison ferme me semblerait effectivement disproportionnée par rapport aux faits reprochés.

EDIT: si je comprends bien il a pris 6 mois fermes ? Je comprends pas trop le commentaire de Ziggurat du coup…

Yeah, and that’s sad and dumb as fuck.

Hell, if I knew however much money I spent, someone would always foot the bill if I ran out, I too would spend like no tomorrow in order to get more money for free. It’s plain logic.

• Why did $manager hire two more people? We don’t need them, half the team has no idea what they’re doing here and are just fucking around all day already.

• Yeah but he still has some budget left, and if he doesn’t spend it all next year he’ll get less, and we can’t have that.
