What possible benefit is there to it beyond government officials being paid off by companies that stand to profit from this?

There isn't any. It's all greed.

Counter arguments are usually:
1) Fear of giving the government too much control, but NN doesn't give them the power to do anything those tinfoil hats are afraid of... And some of it they do already
2) "Hurr durr free market, I have no actual understanding of the current market structure, please fuck me in the ass harder, big daddy corporate"

What the fuck does "SJW" even mean any more? I've always been confused ever since people first started using it. The most common answer I got was "People who go out of their way to find something to complain".
Having seen Star Wars the other nught, what about it makes it an "SJW" movie going by that initial definition? These internet slangs are confusing the hell out of me nowadays.

You can pretty much ignore most people who use it these days.

Originally it was meant to refer to people who would make mountains out of molehills for the sake of starting shit, usually to tweak their egos to make themselves look like moral beacons. The modern day equivalent of the concerned Christian parent.

But like any buzzword, people of the Internet started slathering it over fucking everything.

I don't think it's really a fair comparison. The actress wasn't the worst thing ever, but her performance did feel a little flat,and she has the disadvantage of most of her scenes being disliked for other reasons.

I can't remember the full reaction to Boyega, but I remember it being played up to be more than it actually was. I think people were more angry about Rey than him

Just watched it. I'm irish, live in Ireland, I don't see anything that anyone I know would get offended by. Although the American attitude of "get offended by everything" has spread pretty worldwide on social media, so I'm not gonna pretend they don't exist.

All that being said though, the writing is quite shite so I don't feel its very funny, either. The hell was up with all the dog references? Haven't noticed people being more obsessed with dogs here than anywhere else.

They want to leave the EU, but then whine when they don't put the effort in and block themselves. You give them plenty of time to handle something and then they sit on their hands and do nothing.

Thats why websites that used to have customisation phased them out over the years, like YouTube. Plus it's less things to maintain.

I'd argue its an attitude problem with the world in general rather than just the gamer community.

You can't criticise anything these days without legions of people trying to make the saddest and most bullshit excuses possible. This doesn't just go for PC related stuff either, it's everything.

Even on subjects where it's blatantly obvious the defenders themselves would get screwed over. Often an argument "for" isn't even made, just people instantly knee jerking with some variation of "omg stop".

Imagine Metal Gear Rising. Now imagine that the combat is sluggish, unresponsive, unintuitive, and enemies are walking (or floating!) metal damage sponges that essentially do not react at all to being hit by your attacks. Now also imagine that it makes you play half of the game twice with minimal differences in between.

You're really bad at games.

I love the game to pieces, but it loses a lot of oomph without being able to experience it fresh for the first time.

There's a lot of things where, once you learn them, it changes the context of many scenes in the game.

I'd say wait for a sale. No point in rushing anymore if there's nothing left to spoil.

Gambling is taking a risky action in the hopes to obtain a desired result.

God, I hate this pedantic bullshit.

But what if I spend $5 on a crate and am content with the contents, but someone else isn't?/ How is that value defined? It isn't, and that's the problem in which it can't be labeled gambling. It's like dropping a quarter in one of those machines at the grocery store and not getting that NFL sticker you were hoping for, but you still put that obscure team helmet on your trapper keeper.

A crate is its own independent existence that waits for people to come to it. It's not tied to anything else, and you're not missing out by not having one (though it can be a nice surprise). The crate is also its own clearly defined product capable of standing on its own.

Loot boxes are (usually) pushed on you and are designed to be predatory in such a way as to get people inclined towards addiction to keep spending on them. Games are also deliberately designed to be more grindy/boring to encourage people to spend, resulting in constant excuses from publishers when someone points it out.

Not to mention plenty of games out there deliberately fill the "drop" pool for loot boxes with worthless garbage. I'm not too-too familiar with the contents of crates, but odds are you'll at least get something you like from them, or something you can gift to someone who would.

The people who have taken up the stance of being anti-Net Neutrality just based off the logic that less regulating = more "freedom"= better have really shown over these past couple days that critical thinking isn't their strong suit.

Also the ones that are performing all sorts of mental gymnastics to turn this into "b-but people on government aid"

Seriously.

Reading lolbertarian arguments gives a sense that these people don't live in reality. Half the time the reasons they give are the opposite of what would happen, and the other half they fall off the deep end into tinfoil territory.
