I have my doubts about free will and moral responsibility across the board, for people in general. We should still try to prevent people from doing bad things, but I don't know if it ultimately makes any sense to ascribe moral blame (or moral credit, in cases where people do good things).

This is a mainstream (though not majority) position among philosophers. See here: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/moral-responsibility/#SkepRelaTopi

So you think child rapists and neo-nazis shouldn't be blamed?

Isn't this the dude that said Neo-nazis and child rapists shouldn't be judged for what they do?

Second result on youtube for oingo boingo apparently.
Canada once banned this lol.

AR has always been pretty dishonest. Just hope his account closing isn't also a dishonest attempt to do something too.

lol understandable. I forgot about that Osmosis Jones song myself. Can't believe that played in a kids movie.

The defendant's defense: "The parts where used differently in this song"

I'm pretty sure judges/jurors would consider the tracks in Wonder different than the ones from the NSMB series if the tracks the Wonder was in a different IP. Doesn't look like you'll be answering for awhile though.

Multiple times, with different challenges and scenarios in some games.

Mario 64 can be beaten in 5 minutes and change. Speedrunners clearly are the demographic for every video game.

This could also exist for Wonder. Ive definitely spent more time on first running 2d Mario games/completionist than most RE games.

Mario 64 can not be beaten in 5 minutes without frame perfect glitches which even most completionists cant do and isnt intended to ever be done that way. This is more like saying beating Koopa the Quick is speedrunning. Youre being disingenuous and you know it.

You don't remember going to Bed Bath & Beyond for smell-learning day?

We did that every year in elementary, it taught me not to eat potpourri.

lol
I will note you can learn to associate specific smells with something positive/negative but theres still an instinctive component to it including to things youve never seen before.

Humans dont learn what smells good or not.

Resident Evil has ton of content in each iteration and a reason to keep replaying the single player multiple times.

Also, most if not practically all of RE players don't speed run the first try.

Besides 4-6 (haven't played village yet) they're still mostly below 10 hours even for casual players. The games themselves reward you for beating them under 2-3 hours and speedrunners can beat in them in a single hour.
2D Mario games are also well known for replay value.

Not what it was about. It was about may December relationships, old rich dudes and their trophy wives in particular.
Badflower's Daddy fits but except for being a big hit.

I thought it was about grooming. The music video is clearly about someone underage. Also I looked it up and apparently Canada banned it once lol

That Oingo Boingo song?

Any game that I can 100% in less than 10 hours is a 7/10 maximum to me, not sorry

Which is what people who played it already are reporting

Not a fan of Resident Evil huh

Have you been following any particular left winger for decades to document this change? Or is this just another way of saying "people get more conservative as they get older?"

People like Hasan, Cenk, Brianna Wu, H3h3 from just recently, but I was more referring to seeing a general pattern when it comes to millennial/Gen X internet consumers, particularly male users becoming more conservative and judgmental about sexuality. .

Unfortunately, a lot of self proclaimed left wingers also act like right wingers as they get older too.

Tom_Joad posted...

Anti-Semitism truly is a both sides phenomenon. Which would account for it's longevity, having survived for millennium.

I find it more apt to say that left wingers become right wingers when it comes to things they personally have issues with. It stings them more than "both sides" and doesn't make you look like you're justifying the right.

No they are not a matriarchy. The male lions have most of the power. Idk what zoologists you've been reading.

Did you see any of the links I've given? You are objectively wrong. They are factually a matriarchy.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/21/movies/lion-king-nature.html

Its always a matriarch who actually leads a lion pride, said Craig Saffoe, the curator of great cats at Smithsonians National Zoo in Washington. Simbas mother, Sarabi, would have been the more likely leader of the group. And the movie would have been more accurate if it were called The Lion Queen, as National Geographic pointed out.
Although male lions appear much bigger and more aggressive, females are more dominant, Saffoe said. They do the important decision-making. They are in charge of the majority of hunting and cub-raising. They also have to protect their territory against other intruding females and decide when to let in new males.
In a typical African pride, there are three to six adult females. Most daughters are recruited to stay with their mothers pride until they die, so there are often several generations of related females, making the lion society quite matriarchal.
Two or three adult males also live with the females. They are usually brothers or pride-mates who have formed a coalition to help protect the females. But they spend only a few years with the pride long enough to produce more offspring before they go out and seek a new one.

Male lions are physically more powerful but they're worse at hunting due to their manes and they instinctively submit to orders of lionesses. Lionesses are the ones doing all the decision deciding while male lions are mainly just their security guards and mates.

You're the one that either has been reading wrong zoologists or you've just been relying on fictional media like Lion King.

GranTurismo posted...

No you're wrong, the guy above you is right

Im just repeating what the actual zoologists are saying. How am I wrong? Lions are factually a matriarchy. This is well documented.

The males aren't trying to be in charge of the "group" and failing. They aren't concerned with it whereas the females for damn sure better be concerned because they aren't nearly as powerful as a male lion and are vulnerable on their own. There is a big difference there.. There is a lack of context in "lionesses are the rulers". It's applying some weird human standard to it for some type of satisfaction someone needs to feel every time I see that mentioned. Do queens in real life tend to be gathering all of their own food? No, Lions lifestyle is set up that way because it makes sense for their evolution.

No, lionesses are the rulers of the pride the same way bee queens, (well, just all female bees in general), are the rulers of their hive. Lion prides are a documented matriarchy. Male lions are biologically submissive to the female lions. That's the animal standard. You're the one that's applying some weird human standards by acting as if male lions have an actual thought process of "not caring" as if they're some of willing bachelor or something.

projectpat72988 posted...

Seems more like the females do that because they absolutely have to whereas t he males simply don't give a fuck.

Do what? Become trans? They didn't have to do that. Those were hormonal defects.
As explained in the first video and the article though lionesses are the rulers of their pride and can kick out the lions at any time and often will kill the male lions, even the fathers of their cubs, if the male lion have become sickly or for any other reason.

Guide posted...

And the male still gets to eat first lmao

projectpat72988 posted...

Male lions will literally kill their enemies. Find the females and kill their cubs too. Then mate with the females who's kids and mates they just killed Hell no the males aren't just "a little stronger".

Yeah, but they're still a matriarchy where the female lions decide what happens to him and can kick him out at any time if they don't want him. They're the landlords while the male lions are just on leases.
Also lionesses can become trans if there are no male lions.

Thinking about it. Look how many fans MCU Wanda has. She is a literal monster and ppl still "stan" her like crazy. So it might not be about sex. And like I talked about before Harley help to blow up a city kill Lois and her baby, kill Jimmy, killed the Titans. Who she gets on the good guy team. So even the meta and in comic world she should be hated alot more then she is.

Thanos had an entire community dedicated to stanning him.

Apparently people found out his actual ELO is bad too lol

I think this trope is at play here.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MenAreGenericWomenAreSpecial

This kind of notion that liking male characters for something is normal, but liking female characters has to be due to some sort of extraneous attraction. Even a lot of progressives fall under this trap.

SayHeyyShohei posted...

Because before I pointed out that the article/post was made in bad faith because the verbiage of the law does not mention "child rape", people were still trying to equate that to Florida executing LGBTQ+ people. Which is legally impossible and a backwards conservative stereotype taken from the early 20th century.

When I see "child rape", I don't see LGBTQ+. That's something someone should probably deal with personally if they are letting their mind run that bigoted.

People aren't referring to their own views. They're talking about Florida's. If this law was passed in a blue state then people wouldn't be voicing these concerns. Of course, it's highly unlikely a law like this would ever happen in a blue state anyway.

SayHeyyShohei posted...

So make sure you keep voting against republicans then.

Child rape is still not being trans.

Of course. The problem is red states voting republican.

SayHeyyShohei posted...

We would be living in a authoritarian dictatorship.

Yes, that's the point! Again, have you been following the talking points the gop and Desantis have been saying and agreeing with?

SayHeyyShohei posted...

How do you legally change the definition of rape to "forcible sexual act of penetration" to "forcible sexual act of penetration - or the sole act of being trans"

???

Use your head. DeSatan couldn't get that passed if he tried.

He could try to equate/merge the definition of rape to sexual abuse which he's already been trying to equate with showing kids LGBT media or gender affirmative healthcare.
Might seem like an unrealistic long shot right now but you can tell that's the goal they're aiming for. Roe v Wade being revoked also seemed like a long shot before.

SayHeyyShohei posted...

Well legally it still doesn't, no matter how hard they would wish for it to be true and no matter how extremely conservative a judge would be. Shit would get appealed and overturned easily at a federal level. It's the same reason deep south conservatives can't just arrest people for being black even though they would love to. Legally impossible.

The issue is that the GOP has been trying to change legal definitions to suit them. Legal definitions aren't set in stone things. For example, the UK legal definition of rape is "penetration with a penis" so that means individuals without penis don't legally "rape" there.
Federal level is another story but I thought I heard before the death penalty for crimes that aren't 1st degree murder is already not allowed at a federal level.

SayHeyyShohei posted...

makes me question if I'm living in a Sunday School 1950s Anti-Homosexual propaganda video.

Have you been following Desantis and what the government there has been doing? Legit question

Now this part is actually surprising

Ah, I kind of figured you were thinking of this angle. People seem to forget that dudebros and incels have very similar mindsets at their core with the former just being more successful and the latter is something the internet sees far more. For example, it wouldn't be surprising for an EA sports dev to say something like this either.

Ah, that's disappointing to hear. To be fair though, this kind of dudebro attitude was very common back then and even now there are still many people, even otherwise progressive people that think like that. It's only recently where the mainstream are becoming more open about genuine interests in things associated with the opposite gender becoming normalized.
For the record, he does have a wife.

I was looking at some RE6 vids the other day and its so funny how the entire plot, which is by far the biggest incident in the entire series, spanning several countries, almost a world war, was because the secret shadow president had a massive crush on Ada. The true villain of the game was more successful than fucking Wesker and their motivation was because the shadow president (who she herself had a crush on) turned her into an Ada clone.

WellKnownNomad posted...

She voiced Orel in Moral Orel as well

For some reason my mind thought that was a Nick show while looking it over lol.

And being completely technical she did have a few other roles but RE Ashley Graham does stand out among the big roles shes had.
I really like her voice so Im surprised she hadnt had more roles.

due to her voicing Sandy Cheeks and Ashley Graham but it seems the only stuff she voiced other than Ashley were Nickelodeon shows. Kind of an interesting oddity that the one franchise she voiced outside of Nick cartoons is Resident Evil. I wonder how she got that role.

So am I reading this wrong or are people's reading comprehension here just this bad?
It doesn't say Valve had any objections with the content ingame other than the lack of a combat level. It said right in the post that "according to Valve, [the content] is not sufficiently explicit to be considered a sexual assault reference [in the label]".

So Valve's issue is with the warning label being inaccurate to them. There's nothing about the content being a problem. It seems like everyone just kneejerked to the mention of sexual assault and immediately assumed the problem was with the sexual assault itself (which Valve apparently doesn't even consider it as)
