If it turned out that in MK 1 that Liu Kang was banging his brother, that would have caused more stir than the violence of him punching someone's head off.

I find it so funny that in a game with (descriptions of; it's more like a VN than a game) cannibalism, demon summoning, mutilation, dismemberment, and so on...
The thing that's got twitter angry is the brother and sister having an incest route in the different endings.
It's like...so sadly American.

That's not so unexpected, that incest riles some people up more. The taboo that isn't championed openly even in fictional mainstreamed media gets the attention. I think that's not really a bad thing though. I would be more surprised if Mortal Kombat had an incestuous ending rather than over all the fatalities in the game. Based on the unexpected.

I love it when Europe and Latin America pretend like their markets mattered at all to game companies back then.

I love it when citizens of the United States pretend they represent all of America by calling themselves Americans. And when they pretend the European market is and has always been inconsequential to the industry of gaming.

Happened to me where my videos only get like 300 views, one of them went up to a million randomly, Left 4 Dead 2. Most comments were from the Latino community. All of a sudden, me and my friends started getting super analysed on gameplay. You just can't reply to every comment.

I don't agree with killing them or shooting them at all even in a non lethal manner.

So, tell me again why atheists should give the time of day to religious nutters who want them dead? Or why they need to be kind to Y'all-Qaeda?

Religious nutter must mean all religious people to you. Otherwise why would you claim you're being told to smile and welcome terrorists like Al Qaeda or cult leaders having sex with teens like some Mormons? Who says that?

Unfortunately, Atheists are just as trapped in moral thinking as believers.

Your whole post is good, but the atheists here don't like to identify with religious people. They're just as keen to present themselves as different from religious people, as they perceive religious people are keen to present themselves as different from nonbelievers. I guess it's all their own experience of aggressive over zealous religious people who are pedos and terrorists?

The 'correct' way to think here is to just be cynical and 'admit' there is nothing beyond what you see with your eyes.

What the f*** you talking about? Im just disagreeing with a definition, I dont think religious people are bad or dumb. Im from Western Europe, we dont do this reddit enlightened atheism s*** here, nor are people overly religious. Its barely a talking point.

Western Europe? The UK? I guess I saw your desire to clarify 'them' vs 'you' as two separate groups as you looking down on them. Might have jumped the gun a little

Just look at this thread. Perfect for demonstrating how some people cant accept world views can seemingly coexist together peacefully.

I went from being edgy atheist to a mellow atheist. No one wants to hear atheists ramble against religion anymore than any person not seeking religious words wants to hear someone ramble about their own religion or some aspect of their religion

You could replace Atheist with Vegan and Religion with meat eaters and not miss a trick here.

Gods or supernatural powers are the first used definition of religion in every single dictionary. What people come up with after is meaningless.

Don't be disingenuous.

There are many kinds of abortion. Some are surgical procedures, and some are just two pills.

What game are you playing? A miscarriage is also technically an abortion yes But Obviously I am not talking about that kind either, so giving that as a response is pointless. There are many different types of abortions, i think it was more than clear I was referring to an induced surgical procedure, which afaik is not undertaken at a pharmacy.

DnDer posted...

This was just an absurd hypothetical that doesn't even really have a proper framework because you're dancing around something with language, probably because you're afraid of being modded for it.

That's why I didn't even address it in replying to the last post. It's that dismissable.

So women pressured into abortions is only hypothetical? It doesn't happen at all? It's not something doctors are instructed to be aware of?
What are you talking about? Are you saying that my desire to keep a doctor for induced surgical abortions due to situations like outside pressure is absurd hypothetical?

No you don't want to discuss because you think I've got a hidden agenda against whatever hidden language you claim I'm not speaking of. Shall i play the same game? I think you're afraid to discuss the situations when women are pressured into abortions for fear modded language might spew forth.

How droll. What a stupid game to play. If all you're going to reply is with an equivalent "ur REALLY saying u hate all black people" then don't reply. You don't want to discuss, only accuse.

DnDer posted...

What wording, from the people who are saying, "on demand," needs to be clarified? What wording are people want abortion accessible using that are making it inaccessible to minorities?

Literally said the minority of women who get pressured....

Wait, why am I explaining this? You KNOW what I meant.

DnDer posted...

A woman goes to a doctor. She says, "I want an abortion." She gets one.

Yes, more ignorance.

Notice how I said a minority of women get pressured into abortion?
Notice how I said they should be protected?

...."no questions asked " is what you're saying for 100% of cases. You aren't willing to discuss that minority, probably by this point because you think I'm against all abortion or hate all women or think its a majority of women or some rubbish.

Ok you can't be engaged with. Fine I won't reply either.

KitKats posted...

This comes across as disingenuous. Its not like any other service; depending on the procedure, it may only require a visit to a pharmacy, or a licensed physician, or even a doctor.

Abortions happen in pharmacies?

KitKats posted...

Typically

I'm speaking about women pressured into abortions, say by gender in some communities, not really the 'typical' pregnancy. Typically, most women aren't pressured into abortion against their will. Thankfully we will keep doctors and physicians in place to help monitor and identify when such a situation might happen.

KitKats posted...

Its not unreasonable to treat on demand as having the connotation of no unnecessary gatekeeping because its a simple statement made about a complex subject.

Any wording needs to make sure minorities are not excluded. I don't think clarifying what the wording is supposed to mean or stand for is unreasonable.

KitKats posted...

When doctors are involved

They should always be involved. Abortions without doctors isn't something to be recommended. Hence the need to clarify 'on demand' and 'no questions asked'.

Heineken14 posted...

Your family should pressure you into learning how to read.

The title says abortion on demand, like any other service, suggesting no questions asked.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]



That's rational pro choice. That can be argued for.

No. A doctor needs to be part of the consultation. We can't have young women pressured into abortions by family.

You hate trans people and think HIPAA doesn't apply to them

Stop saying that discussing anything that is not directly championing support of anything a trans person does means you hate the entire community.

It would be the same if a black guy had sex with a blind white woman in the KKK who didn't want to have sex with a black man.
Did she enjoy it? Probably. Did she even notice? Besides the point, under these (admittedly slightly contrived and specific ) circumstances, he should have informed her.

I am sure I will be labelled as anti trans now, but I could understand if someone was outraged after finding out their hookup or partner was trans.
Now I can't really stop them or control it. And maybe to some it doesn't matter. No one is saying trans people need to wear an identifer or carry medical papers.

But it's ok and not anti trans to not be attracted to trans women, or for trans to be a turnoff. You can still acknowledge them or anyone as a human being and still not want to bang them.

Why do you want that to happen ?

Then she can never get any profits from the franchise and WB are free to reboot it in an image that really allows everyone to enjoy the HP franchise. People associate Star Wars with Disney now rather than George Lucas, y'know?

Shunning jkr is real tangible progress against misogyny, harmful misinformation, bigotry, prejudicial discrimination and oppression, a show from polite society that youre not welcome here and we wont tolerate it.

Fine. And in the meantime there is nothing wrong with wishing WB can take the franchise from her in a legal loophole.

The23rdMagus posted...

Discouraging purchasing products on which she gets royalties seems reasonable.

So....as long as she goes bankrupt from lack of interest, that's ok? But if WB somehow forced her to give up the franchise, or if she was thrown in jail for her comments and she couldn't receive royalties, either would be unreasonable?.

KI_Simpson posted...

I didn't say there was a practical way to stop her from ever getting more money, I said wishing she wouldn't was reasonable. What you did was the equivalent of responding to someone saying the Republican party shouldn't exist with "well they won't just go away, so you must be suggesting we mass imprison or execute them!"

I don't know, i think people would say she deserved it and they're glad it happened to her. Can you blame them?

I just don't understand how any of this is unreasonable, as if I'm saying she should be assaulted or get a disease, those suggestions are unreasonable. Instead we have to hope somehow that people just ignore her and do the research to see which HP products she profits from or not.

KI_Simpson posted...

You don't get to make up strawmen about authoritarian things we supposedly are demanding be done to her because I said not wanting her to keep getting money was justified.

Wait a sec. So how do you propose we stop her getting money? How are these strawmen? If she is campaigning for trans people to be killed or not exist, why shouldn't we want her arrested?

KI_Simpson posted...

So going further into the argument, not wanting Rowling to get any more money is completely justified

Should we forceably take the franchise from her?

Should we arrest her?

Should we exile her to an island?

The endgame of "if we ignore her she will go away" will never happen. So what would be a good thing to campaign for instead?

When it interferes with instructional time (and it will, especially w/middle and high schoolers) it becomes a distraction.

didja ever think....if high schoolers are getting distracted or bored enough to look at their phone....maybe...maybe the phone isn't the problem, but your teaching is?

A good teacher has students listening attentively gathered round them at all times. A kid will come to school sick, just to learn from the cool fun wise teach. Kids aren't badly behaved, disciplinarians don't know how to teach now they can't hit kids anymore.

Be a kid's friend. Show them the wonder of the world. Make learning fun and engaging 100% of the time, like a pixar movie is, or a really cool game of among us is. Challenge the establishment.

The bottles price is a separate affair. High price does not equate quality. Branding, amount of available, and vintage can affect the price. Certain vintages may be better than others, and this may be seen on the price.

I think TC thinks that taste determines the price, as if wine tasters claim to be able to have 100 bottles of wine - 1 made per year for 100 years - and can then blind taste any to say "this is 76 years old and this is 79 years old" and then they add on $50 per year to the price of a bottle. As if wine tasters are price graders who should be feared, but he is the only fellow brave enough to challenge them

Nope. In fact I explicitly stated I also agree with the guy going to prison for a long time.

I don't want to start discussing the topic here, but there is a way to do so while not lessening the severity of the crimes.....and arguing for a lesser sentence could be construed as 'the crime doesn't deserve that punishment'. Framing it as 'are you rehabilitating a troubled young man or stoking bitter fires of resentment' could prove troublesome. But i didn't see, I admit, so TC might have been unfairly modded.

punkfanalways posted...

I have asked for clarification. Its possible Im misunderstanding the rationale / its not worded very well. I still feel like its setting a precedent.

I mean, if you're emphasising " *insert horrific sex offender* needed a place to explore his childhood and where it went wrong instead of a punishing cruel sentence for their actions " or something similar then i have to agree with you being modded.

Never ever

No matter what you think he is, his children are portrayed as being much lighter in skin tone than he is, regardless, so I'm not really sure it's proof of anything, as far as the debate goes.

And, to be fair, it was a clear design choice. They purposely made his children look more like their mothers than him. That's not to say he's black, but that was obviously the intention.

Which is why 'race' although it's necessary to identify ethnicity for some instances, needs to be held very lightly as a social construct only

But do you say things like "Are there going to be any females there?" or "look at that female by the bar" or "females are so entitled" or "I can never get any females to talk to me"?

This is the kind of incel-speak that we are talking about. It makes women sound like a different species.

I've heard people say "female drivers" but that's not what I suspect you're getting at. No I don't use female like that. That sounds weird to me.

Then again, I know a lot of people who refer to all young women as 'girls', even in a negative sense, but I suppose I've heard men called 'boys' in a negative sense also.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


I have never heard of people using female in a negative catchall sense, outside of isolated incidents. People make jokes about women/females using those terms all the time for example, but that is different from using the term female as a general negative insult. Same with saying men are pigs.

COVxy posted...

Most know. Feigned ignorance is a pretty standard go-to, now-a-days.

No way is female commonly used in a general sense negatively as an insult. This guy? I don't know, maybe he had a history of doing that. Ban him then.

The term Negro, for example. I'm aware of that being used majority negatively, even if there can be a few instances where it is correct and context specific. I don't think female is in the same boat.

I use female to refer to female characters here often and male to refer to male characters.

Both question marks are attributed to negative beliefs you wanted to hold that I had in an either or. Do I believe they don't matter or do I believe they are evil.

No because you answered saying they do matter. It wasnt a closed question. That would have been "y do u h8, because u think they're evil or because you think they dont matter".

I suppose you might say everyone gets to vent rather than rationally discuss and I don't deny I myself have contributed. But it would be the same if someone said "Israeli Jewish people are falling in love with facisim" or "Afghanistan muslims are falling in love with terrorism" and posts inside said "because they are all facists/terrorists".
That kind of topic and phrasing would get deleted by the mods and rightly so.

As a Christian from a decent church with a very diverse congregation I can tell you for a FACT that there are plenty of us that are disgusted with these "Christian" fools.

Who are you?

Don't you know CHRISTIANS are killing, hating and discriminating to this day? They're Nazis! You can't speak here out against those who do bad.if you are one, because you're just as bad! People here are fed up with some Christians pretending.to be a victim and then using the Bible to hate on others, so it's ok if they say ALL Christians are like that! It's like saying "the good nazi" lol that's an oxymoron! There is NO good nazi, just a nazi who hasn't realised how much damage he is doing by being part of a hateful group! And it's the exact same with Christianity!

Apparently.

Watch. 2 responses will appear: Someone will inevitably say "u want to vent against all Christians because you're sick and tired of being hated on by them? I feel your pain bro. But if u say don't generalise then why cant u take it? U mad bro? U so weak that you can't take being called a nazi? What happened to judge not? What happened to turn the other cheek? I follow jesus better than h and i dont believe in him trolololol"

What rights are Christians having taken away here in America? How many jobs were you denied for being Christian? Houses? Ability to adopt?

Compare that to the number that do use their religion as a bludgeon to justify stripping rights away from people and the many more who are silent.

Irrelevant. You don't get to call all Christians rapists, fascists and murderers without challenge, based on what you think is inherent to them. If not you yourself called them that, others do and you don't get to bypass that when someone says its wrong to generalise.

Also it's nice how you signify "here in America." The Christians in India being persecuted don't count? Or they're just ae bad in your eyes?

You think that generalising all Christians is not the same as generalising all black people or all LGBT people. And all Muslims or all Hindus etc?
Fine. No one can stop you. On this forums you'll get people applauding you. Of course if Christians respond then that's wrong of them also they just need to admit how backwards and stupid and hateful they all are.

But it doesn't make it right. Even your framing it of "what about those who have been hurt by Christians" doesn't hold up, in the same way that saying all white people are bad because in America most racial oppression is done by people who are white, doesn't hold up. I have no problem discussing the problems caused by a lot of white people or a lot of Christians. But I won't write them all off.

And replying with "u didnt mind christians raping or killing but u get angry because someone said ur a facist" is fundamentally wrong, because you've maintained the generalised premise in the first place. Nor is this a victim complex, just as arguing with tipping fanatics who say "all people who dont tip deserve to have their food spat into" is not adopting a victim complex for all uh....non tippers.
