Eh, the most 1984-esque quality of Trump imo is his relationship with the truth. And his super simple language I suppose, but that's a stretch. The mounting persecution of latinx people is scary but at least to me it doesn't look Orwellian.

That's the problem with TLJ haters, they're not usually film fans and are more interested in plot than anything else.

I notice that some of the criticism of the sequels is on the form of "it was bad because it wasn't what I wanted". Sure there's a lot of criticism that holds more weight, but disliking something because it wasn't fanservice aimed explicitly at you is a very entitled (and imo bad) opinion.

I didn't waste my time watching the video but my guess is that there's a disconnect between biological definitions of sex, and "psychological" definitions of sex, and how people attempt to leverage oversimplified and incorrect biological definitions of sex to attempt to reconcile their "psychological" definition as rational.

I just skimmed it a little but my impression is that when biologists talk about sex they consider several different things, not just gonads or chromosomes. And the more they look the more they see that it's not so easy to draw a distinct line between males having one set of the things and females having the other set.

Right, as I alluded to in the subsequent paragraph.

So if Led Zeppelin is connected to Middle Earth does that mean we can get a Disney/LOTR crossover?

That would involve Warner, so either a miracle occurs or Lego is involved.

One Punch Man is the exception, not the norm. It has great animation with the same budget as a regular anime show and the reason is that there was love put into that anime (not to mention a lot of the animators in Japan are willing to take super low wages and their work culture that promotes working over time). Look at the majority of anime shows in japan and you can see how terrible and lazy their animation is.

The comparison in the OP is dishonest or incompetent. TC fails to take into account a lot of differences and has no strong grasp of what all the money goes toward. Not to mention the ridiculous notion of a cartoon being good or bad at handling money. But I suspect Milkman knows he's just doing some good ol' dishonest shitposting.

The difference to me is you can expect devs to pull every dirty trick in the book for sales, their job is to sell games. The press' job on the other hand is to inform the public. So one is doing their job in a s***ty way, while the other is doing the opposite of their job. Not that one is worse than the other, just that they are two different things. I don't think the plan was to go after indie devs, they just happened to be more likely to be the ones caught in these conflicts of interest.

Yeah but they're the ones doing the shit. It's not OK just because you can expect them to do it. They're the ones putting pressure on game journalists to act unethically in the first place. And they're the ones with money and power to put the journalists out of a job. The publishers are the ones who can put insane conditions on a game reaching a certain number on metacritic, and if it doesn't get there the devs suffer immensely. The publishers are the ones who can strangle access to events, reviewer copies, ad revenue, etc for the game journalists. Yet people are getting upset at the guys getting strongarmed.

And then by some freak coincidence there's a lot of misogyny, just like pretty much any other toxic online community.
I'll gladly concede that there's a problem with game journalism, and it's been well known long before Gamergate blew up. Wasn't it famously ranked by Reuters or someone really, really low? But addressing the symptoms instead of the cause seems like it won't help much.

It is the opposition to Gamergate guilty of rampant deflection. Every time a feminist does something stupid. Or is caught lying. Or a woman is criticised. Or challenged. "Sexism!" "Harassment!" "Misogyny!" "It's all orchestrated and fake!" Deflect deflect deflect.

While I have seen this every now and then, mostly the "criticism" or "challenge" is presented in terms of vile, sexist ad hominems. Then it's quite apt. Of course, when it's actual criticism, it's not apt. But it's very often delivered in an unsavory manner.

I actually 100% agree that the democrats would have done the exact same thing, had the roles been reversed.

I doubt it. The democratic party has no balls, and routinely gets steamrolled by republicans.

Yeah because the republicans are in power. If the roles were reversed, they wouldn't be.

Doubt it, but these sorts of arguments are stupid and un-provable.

And I'm not trying to state that it's a fact, it's just a belief that I hold, based on what I've seen. Gerrymandering, for example, is often touted by liberal media to be a conservative tactic used to consolidate power. In reality, it's used by anyone in power, and there are plenty of examples of democrats using it in this day and age. This and other examples lead me to believe that establishment politicians are partisan, self-serving hacks who will first and foremost seek to perpetuate their power and influence unless they are hard pressed by their base.

People: "There's a serious problem with corruption on every level in the industry which would not be accepted in any other industry such as movies, books or films. All because games aren't taken seriously. We need to change the attitude that goes to towards releasing, advertising, discussing and creating games."

Also people: "So let's go after the journalists and indie devs who are strongarmed by corporate publishers instead of going after the people with power, because we still like to play those games. Oh and while we're at it let's use threats, doxxing and a very toxic tone towards women and minorities."

Tbh, I still have no idea what gamergate is about.

Honest answer. It depends on who you ask and when you asked them.

It's one part ethics in journalism, two parts complaining about SJWs/far left activism in media and university, and three parts talking about whoever's talking about Gamergate now.

If you go to KotakuInAction, the Gamergate subreddit, you'll find topics about all those things.

Topics accusing journalists of being unethical for something like not disclosing that they or someone they are associated with is professionally connected to the topic they're writing about.

Topics complaining about/making fun of sjw students and professors, twitter users, and news/opinion writers.

And topics about anyone who's talking about Gamergate lately. For example, there is a topic on there now talking about Rian Johnson talking about Gamergate. They refer to these incidents as "game dropping" (like name dropping, but for gamergate).

These topics are often in the form of "this public figure/press writer on this social media/article is trying to blame Gamergate for <insert current scandal here>. Or "this guy is repeating lies and misinformation about Gamergate".

If you ask people who oppose Gamergate, it's a racist, misogynistic hate group of white men that constantly runs harassment campaigns against any and all minorities in the movie, comics, and gaming industries.

What always bothered me regarding the credibility of Gamergate's concern was that the anger was always directed towards the journalists, and never the evil corporate overlords who actually hold all the power in the industry. Maybe I just missed it, but some indie devs and game journalists aren't really the big baddies here.

I agree, there's no perfect answer to this that makes everyone happy.
There's good arguments to be made in favor of body autonomy, for sure.
It's just my opinion that we shouldn't do anything that increases sex trafficking. In regards to the scope of this topic, I think that's a pretty big reason to outlaw prostitution.
Mind you, I am also in favor of gun regulations in order to reduce murder rates etc at the expense of the second amendment. In both these cases, I think people lose a minimal amount of freedom, but it brings a great increase in safety to everyone that outweighs what they have lost.

In principle I agree with you, but I'm a bit more cautious to hear from the actual people involved (i.e., sex workers and survivors of trafficking) before forming a strong opinion.

Legalising prostitution increases human trafficing/forced sex slavery.

You might not consider that a valid reason to outlaw prostitution but i do tc.

is there data that backs this up?

yes
https://orgs.law.harvard.edu/lids/2014/06/12/does-legalized-prostitution-increase-human-trafficking/

While this is a strong argument, you don't necessarily have to land in "prostitution should be illegal". What it highlights is that we're bad at dealing with human trafficking. Removing the market is one approach to address that. We can of course disagree on whether it should be, but I think we can all agree that there should be more approaches.

We can certainly take more action to prevent human trafficking, but we shouldn't take action that increases trafficking until we are capable of handling it, IMO. It would be a good long term goal to legalize prostitution don't get me wrong, but right now the cons outweigh the pros.

Sure, but this kind of hinges on how much you consider bodily autonomy an unimpeachable right. Naturally we could forbid tons of things that would drastically reduce crime, at the cost of personal freedom.

Like, there are some fundamentally different arguments for prostitution. One is the pragmatic one, that legalizing and regulating provides a structure in which sex workers can actually feel safe etc. This is a little disputed, but seems quite reasonable. An extension of that pragmatic one is that it also helps to combat trafficking. And this is heavily disputed, as the study you cited shows. I'm not well-read on the subject, of course you should look to more than one study and consider as many metrics as possible, but it's not a strong argument with what we know right now. So this often boils down to a debate over which women's rights you want to protect, the "happy hooker" or the trafficking victim?
A completely different argument is the philosophical one, that the government should not outlaw what two consenting adults do behind closed doors if it doesn't hurt anyone else. I think it's difficult to counter this argument without admitting that it's a freedom that you're willing to infringe upon.
