People who think "Light was a good guy" (Death Note) are generally morons not even worth talking to. But the strongest case (which nobody makes) for Light's actions being good is that he supposedly ended war. This is vastly more important than reducing most violent crime.

In MGS lore, my impression is that the Russian Philosophers existed both pre-Communist Revolution and post-Communist Revolution.
How did the Communist Revolution impact the Russian Philosophers? I don't know if this is ever addressed?

Have any of the 2017-era critics of Rebecca Tuvel (or her transracialism paper, or Hypatia's publication of it, or related issues) ever expressed regret for how severe or hostile their criticisms were?

Many Palestine activists know a LOT of history about the Israel-Palestine conflict, decade by decade, year by year. I wish more drug reform activists, eg myself, had comparable knowledge on the history of the drug war. Drug activists should be inspired by Palestine activists to learn more history.

It is morally permissible to use lethal violence against masked men who are trying to kidnap you or other people.

I am getting the "Heavy Rain canon yaoi evidence" GoogleDoc ready. Soon, I will post it in the discords of several fujoshi and fujo-adjacent vtubers who have played the game. More people must know the truth. The Heavy Rain canon yaoi is real.

Overall I think MGS3 Delta is a pretty questionable remake (i'm going off cutscenes + videos about it). But it did get a lot of vtubers to play MGS3 (either again or for the first time) which is always great.

Most of the understanding of oppression in "Detroit: Become Human" is dumb, but the part about seizing the means of reproduction is surprisingly based. Reproduction control is central to oppression, and to liberation.

From everything I've heard about SW:TOR and the Revan novel, their treatment of the Exile is terrible.

Progressives should never have embraced any kind of cancel culture. The message from day 1 should have been that right-wingers were actually much worse proponents of cancel culture, and that this was very bad.

People say games journalists are bad at games, but the only example they ever cite is Dean Takahashi (who is very bad). Are there any other major examples of games journalists being bad at games?

Idea for political messaging: “Woke people love the homeless—they think being homeless is an "oppressed identity" just as valid as any other identity, and that housing everyone would therefore be "cultural genocide." If you want to trigger the libs, support universal free housing. That’ll show ‘em.”

In MGSV, the attractive female sniper Quiet HAS to be naked at all times, because her body does photosynthesis. But in MGS3, there is a 100 year old male sniper whose body ALSO does photosynthesis-- but he's fully clothed, for some reason. Hopefully, MGS3 Delta will finally correct this discrepancy.

I just today realized the end song of Christopher Nolan's best film Memento is "Something in the Air," which David Bowie made for the horrendous game "Omikron: The Nomad Soul" by David Cage. I can't believe this. amazing.

I wonder how VShojo was able to keep up their good reputation for so long. It sounds like they were screwing up & screwing over people for years.

Even with as much widespread gullibility as there is, it's good to see how sometimes all the top comments under fake AI videos are pointing out that it's fake.

On this day, 249 years ago, Americans declared war on Britain, or at least on the British Army. To declare war on an army is to wish death upon it, and to act on that wish. About a week ago, punk r…

Initial googling indicates nobody has written anything analyzing Heartman ("Death Stranding") from a disability perspective. Remarkable omission in the Death Stranding analysis literature.

Apparently people's Google accounts can be shut down for "hate speech" for content on their personal Google Drive. This is actually blatantly horrible, and any sensible progressive should be completely opposed to it.

In all of my hatred and vitriol and support for violence, I want to reiterate my support for universal healthcare for everyone (including Trump-supporters) and my opposition to the death penalty for everyone (including neo-Nazis, and racist rapist cops, etc.)
