You didn't look at the link I posted did you? Because the second whitest political group in America is the extreme left (the whitest is the extreme right). It really shouldn't be a surprise though. Look at any gathering of leftists in America on YouTube, pretty obvious. Minorities are massively underrepresented by the extremist groups in America, but they love to try to use them as tools for their causes.

The best part of the link I posted is in addition to demographic data they have interviews so you can hear what actual minorities think instead of what white people tell you they think.

I didn't say that the extreme left wasn't overwhelmingly white, just that it isn't the same as the extreme right being overwhelmingly white. Doing so completely erases the history of black activism in the US that was heralded by socialists like MLK Jr., W.E.B. DuBois, The Black Panther Party, etc. We're the only racial group in America that prefers socialism to capitalism in the current year. So again, saying it's all just wacky white folks is disingenuous.

And, again, whites have the most free time to go to AntiFa rallies, which is why they look the way they do. Despites that, Black Lives Matters, which half the country hates, is mostly black, and it's most definitely an extremely leftist movement.

Also, hi I'm not white, I don't need to listen to interviews to know "what actual minorities think" because I actually live this shit. This idea that leftism is just white people is garbage.

What Obamatons don't understand is that Obama was very dirty president that secretly prosecuted more journalists and whistleblowers than any other president. Even more than Nixon. This is definitely not outside the realm of possibility with him, who through excellent PR is viewed as a media darling even to this day.

Maybe if Trump referenced any of this when he was asked about it a couple days ago you'd have a leg to stand on.

Like, you're not even wrong that Obama sucked, but Obamagate specifically is such an obvious nothing burger.

The demographics are such that in America both extreme left and extreme right are disproportionately white, and wealthy compared to the rest of America.

This statement is really disingenuous.

The average voice online is white because they're over 60% of the country and wealthy because working class people have less time to shitpost on social media. However, PoC and LGBTQ+ individuals tend to be strictly on the left as evidenced by voting demographics. In fact, our country's biggest civil rights movements since the 60's were all spearheaded by those two groups. "Extreme leftism" isn't a 'straight white male' monolith like most right-wing movements tend to be.

It was the collaborated effort by the Obama admin to manufacture the Russian Probe before Obama left the oval office.

Of course you're not gonna see it on Reddit or Twitter (or MSM) and dems don't want to admit Obama was a piece of shit so they stick their head in the sand instead of actually researching wtf is going on.

CE never fails to be CE when it comes to politics.

Fake news. Trump clearly states what Obamagate is here:

Ive provided sources for every claim ive made in this thread. Attempt to return the favor.

this article isn't saying what you think it does

After a rocky start in 2018, retailers that have survived Californias tough licensing, testing and packaging regulations are 'battle hardened' and stronger because of an influx of investment that has allowed them to take advantage of the states large population and pent-up demand for legal products, said Tom Adams, managing director and principal analyst for BDS Analytics.
"'Any market in the world would be ecstatic about a 23% growth rate,' Adams said. 'That is fabulous for any industry to have that kind of growth.'

at the end of the day, they're still good for the economy.

still doesn't refute that the money illegal dealers make will inevitably go into the local economy.

Dealers use money to "re-up" and buy more drugs.

They also spend money on local businesses like restaurants, grocery stores, and everything else, because they're human beings.

weed is legal in several states. most dispensaries are small businesses. so yeah, it does stimulate the economy.

even if they buy it illegally, the dealer will eventually make legal purchases that will go on to stimulate the economy anyway.

It can be both things at once dude.

No, it has literally nothing to do with them being queer. It's also objectively a shit analysis since all you did was post a frame with no context behind it. For all we know the it's on par with most/all other dialogue options in the game.

UnfairRepresent posted...

I was.

Also no you don't.

Fantastic argument. Utterly stellar rejoinder.

UnfairRepresent posted...

Really does. When you introduce a shit character with no depth who you can barely interact with just to score points for a specific team/demographic, that's pandering.

Now you can argue you like pandering if you want. Like how Doom Eternal made all the monsters look like their original game counterparts.

But pretending it's not pandering and pretending its not god awful writing is laughable and makes you instantly lose all credibility.

I didn't say it's not pandering, just that it has nothing to do with why it's shoddy here. Also, what the fuck is your definition? Introducing a gay character that is super deep and has 1000 layers would still be pandering. It would just be pandering that has more effort put into it.

Buy essentials and pay bills. Responsible people already had savings for situations like these meanwhile I see people bragging about how much weed they can get or which new video games they can buy.

Isn't that what republicans want? Frivolous spending to jump start the economy? Isn't that why they want businesses to reopen asap?

1. Yes that would also be bad writing.

2. That wouldn't be pandering. Which is what the whole topic is about

also LOL at you even trying to defend that awful piece of writing

If that's "bad writing" then that's a criticism of the RPG genre as a whole. It has nothing to do with the NPC being trans.

You'd need to compare the piece of dialogue you quoted compares to the rest of the game to get an objective feel for story, but so far you've just made the argument that the game is general has bad writing, if anything. "Pandering" doesn't factor in here.

i don't see the problem with this tbh. it's really common for generic NPCs to divulge their entire backstories and be completely one dimensional in a single dialogue box.

You walk up to them and they go "HELLO I WAS BORn A BOY BUT I BECAME A GIRL TO REFLECT WHO I AM NICE TO MEET YOU!"

like, you're being satirical here, but if it was changed to "HELLO I STUDIED MAGIC AFTER MY PARENTS TOLD ME NOT TO NICE TO MEET YOU!" would you even notice? would anyone notice or care?

From what I saw Jontron was basically trying to be a Devil's advocate/oppositional and the guy he was debating drew him into saying things he didn't mean.

That's an extremely charitable view for a guy that literally (this is from the third link in post 12) complained that if brown foreigners assimilate to the culture then they "enter the gene pool eventually... and you know..."

I never understood why people always want the left/democrats to be better but never the right. It's always "the tolerant left" and stuff like that but people shrug and accept that right wingers are generally pretty bad.

Conservatives like to make vague gestures of hypocrisy because they're generally incapable of making logical rebuttals. That's where the "the tolerant left" criticism comes from. For example:

Kolibri X posted...

Democrats in 2016: "Believe all women!"
Democrats in 2020: "She's probably lying, and it's not a big deal anyways."

Completely ignoring that Trump is obviously the worse of the two since he has like over 20 sexual assault allegations against him compared to Biden's 1. Just goes straight to making fun of democrats for acting like republicans.

Would this be a acceptable ad?

Assuming if it was a Gilettte commercial?

It's better than the Gilette ad, but it has the same core issue in that it's still just virtue signalling for social capital. What is Egard Watches doing to combat things like male disposability? How does buying a watch counter male suicidality? Just showing statistics on a screen doesn't really combat the material conditions specific to men that lead them feeling alienated and depressed.
