I guess I just don't get how Ellie's thirst for revenge is justified and sympathetic, but Abby's somehow isn't.

Im not sure if Ellies revenge is anymore justified than Abbys, I just know Ellie is a character I already know and like and Abby is a rando who has hurt Ellie. Whether or not theyre logically morally different, on an emotional level it makes me not want to play as Abby.

It may be silly, but since games are a thing I theoretically control, I dont want to make the things that are going to happen in the game happen. When you give me control of Abby I want to just turn around and run her into the woods so she never bites off any fingers.

If you deny the obvious then you are willfully ignorant or a moron.

I like how the response to the top comment there shows a different post of the Biden question wasnt taken down

so maybe its not some conspiracy and theres something more to the OPs screenshot

You guys also don't really use Reddit much. I've been on there since Draven.

I do use Reddit much. My account is eight years old and ive got like 10,000 more comment karma than you do.

I'd call Rare western

... but then that also means Diddy would be first

then Dark Samus?

Diddy is the first western-created character, Dark Samus is the first American-created character, and Banjo is the first character from a Western series.

Different characters have taken focus in each game, but the most recent MK is very much a Liu Kang story.

I dont think theyd do a MK character, but if they did I would think Liu or Sub would be more likely than Scorpion because Scorp feels more violent to me, but I dunno.

If people feel disenfranchised, the states should reincorporate the ceded areas back to their states. This should create maybe an additional representative or two for Dems and also secure Virgina as a democrat state for the time being in presidential elections.

If thats what the people living in DC want then sure.

I think it should be up to them.

Give a reason. Gives a reason from the people who created it. Dismisses reason.

Okay. Got it.

"In other words, the founders worried that if the capital were to be a state, the members of the government would be unduly beholden to it. Madison envisioned that voting members of a D.C. state would be able to insult or interrupt the proceedings of government to get their way, simply by virtue of physical proximity to the halls of power."

looking at madisons concern in 2020, does it seem reasonable

My opinion doesn't change if DC is a red area. And my opinion is that Puerto Rico should be granted statehood if they choose to be a state even though they are likely a blue area.

Id like to say my opinion on this doesnt change based on the likely voting pattern of the place were making a state, but I have no way to prove that because for some reason were not disenfranchising any red areas.

Now that we established there are non-political reasons on both sides.

Let's examine WHY people want it to be a state, others don't want it to be a state, and why they completely flip their positions depending on the circumstances.

Political reasons.

yeah but the political reasons cancel each other out so you should just ignore them

Because if you flipped the circumstances, the sides both change their stances. Thus, the argument isn't for the right reasons at its root.

ok I feel like theres some miscommunication here or something because that doesnt clarify anything

that is still a point equally against making it a state and not making it a state

why does it only harm the make it a state argument for you

There's little reason to avoid adding a character just because they are already an Assist Trophy in the game. There are workarounds like not letting that Assist Trophy spawn if the same character is in battle. But they could even do nothing like how they left Chrom in Robin's Final Smash.

I agree that they shouldnt let an AT stop them from adding a character, but I think the fact that an AT exists indicates that they have no intention of adding the character.
If Sakurai had any desire/expectation for adding Akira or whoever as a playable character I dont think he would make them an AT in the first place.

My argument against it being a state is that the people for or against it are solely for it's political advantage of disadvantage. That's enough to tell me it is a bad idea.

but if the people against it are only against it for political advantage doesnt that tell you not making it a state is a bad idea too?

if both options have the same argument against them then what makes you side with one over the other?

Also, DC shouldn't be a state. The reason being that none of you would support it being a state if it would be a red state. If you only support it being a state because it would politically help you and not when it politically wouldn't then the reasoning is bad.

this goes both ways. maybe the conservatives only oppose it because it would hurt them in elections.

pretend for a moment that we dont know which way DC would vote... Whats the actual argument against it being a state?

I feel like MOBA, like FPS post-Halo, trend towards love-it-or-hate-it opinions moreso than most genres.

I think if youre not a person whos into MOBA, it can be one of the least fun gaming experiences around. Theres a strong chance of your first game in LoL just being an awful experience of people being assholes to you because youre not doing it right.
Leads to a lot of people really disliking the genre.

theres a (probably unreasonable) concern within a lot of the gaming community that the moment Tencent gets involved with something it will become a Chinese propaganda machine filled with censorship

I mean, can you list to more reasons than suicide? For some reason I doubt in the past ten years African Americans hanging from trees is more from being lynched than suicide???

Not that it particularly matters. The point is. You automatically assume the message you want to harp. Smollett exposed this. The details don't matter worth shit to many of you. Just the message you want to push.

I dont even want to push a message in this case, I just see a black man hanging from a tree and my mind immediately goes to lynching.

Good job, your system just sent MY ballot to my old apartment because my registration wasn't updated. Someone else just received my personal ballot.

Yeah...asking for you to literally just sign your name to confirm you live there is probably a good idea, lol. So, I mean you're really really reaching on this imo.

why are you like great job, your system did this thing when its your fault you didnt get your ballot because you didnt update your own registration

Whats the concern here? do you think the person who got your ballot in this situation is likely to open mail not addressed to them and then also commit voter fraud by submitting your ballot?

also id say black lives matter is a response to a system that behaves as if they dont matter. If it was a response to someone saying white lives matter, then black lives matter too would make sense.

As a response to black lives dont matter, black lives matter too doesnt make sense because theres no statement establishing what the other lives that matter are. too makes the statement relative to something else, but its not meant to be a comparison.

Anyways, this topic has been done at least 5 times already in the past. Nothing is going to change.

All I am saying is they would have broader support and be more able to pin opponents of the slogan as truly being racist if their slogan wasn't flawed. Because it is very hard to argue against Black Lives Matter Too without being racist. It is a pretty universally accepted message from the normal person.

it turns out its also very hard to argue against Black Lives Matter without being racist

I understand you feel the need to defend any and everything on your side, but you should at least acknowledge the points made against it as time as possibly being valid.

I could do that if they were but theyre not

If you say Pineapple Pizza is the s***!

This doesn't mean you don't think other types of pizza aren't the s*** also, but it does remove the other types from the messaging.

Thus, it isn't a stretch to think you like pineapple pizza the most. Or that the unique pineapple pizza is in fact superior than the others since you chose to single it out.

yes it removes other types from the messaging because thats the type im talking about at the moment. Nothing about the statement suggests anything about my opinion about anything other than pineapple pizza, it just means pineapple pizza is the one pizza I am currently discussing. Any other meaning is you reading into something that isnt there.

You can argue it is implied you don't just like pineapple pizza but you like all pizza too (do you even). Just like you can argue it is black lives matter (but all lives matter too, do some really think this? Ambiguous indeed.).

I would argue theres no implication about my feelings on any other pizza, positive or negative. There is no ambiguity. I said one statement about one thing and made no reference to anything else.

This is why the message can go the wrong ways as if someone does think black lives matter and f*** everyone else, they can rally behind this slogan just as easily. Especially when arguing All lives matter is racist in return. (I get they want to single out Black Lives because of the platform, which is why the too could have made the slogan much better instead of implied).

In a vacuum, the statement all lives matter wouldnt be racist. What makes it seem racist is that it is used in response to black lives matter as if its a rebuttal. No one should be defensive about the statement black lives matter because, again, the statement makes absolutely no implication about other lives.

Black Lives Matter is a flawed slogan.

the slogan isnt flawed, the flaw is in the people taking it the wrong way. The statement is completely unambiguous

Black Lives Matter can be taken multiple ways in different directions, to the point they have to explain the (too) is implied. If it is implied, then what is the harm in making it obvious with Black Lives Matter Too.

theres no need for an implied too and theres definitely no reason to insert an only into it, its a complete phrase on its own

if I say pizza is good that doesnt imply that I think everything else isnt good

You really believe that if someone has an opposite opinion of you, then that opinion automatically needs to be silenced and never be heard?

No, I dont think they need to be silenced, I think they shouldnt be amplified. They can say whatever they want, but no one should give them a platform say it.

You have to have an open discussion and present the right thing the best way you can, and in the forum of ideas, the right thing will prevail when enough people see it. It's the only way to properly changes peoples minds.

this is a nice thought and maybe would be true if everyone was presenting their ideas honestly in good faith. I dont think Ben Shapiro is doing that.

You see it as "if Ben Shapiro comes on Rogan's show, Joe is allowing that man's toxic ideas to spread" but is it also not possible that it goes the other way? Debating Ben Shapiro might have some impact on the community of people that Shapiro already has control over?

no, I dont think it really goes that other way, but anyway I thought joe rogans whole thing was staying quiet and letting people talk a lot. He doesnt sound like the person whos going to talk people out of liking Ben Shapiro.

In response to Kupo - why would I want to only listen to people who always agree with me? I think it's shortsighted to only want to listen to people you agree with, and i think it's CRAZY to want people you don't agree with to be deplatformed.

I think its crazy to not want those people deplatformed. If you actually believe in the things you believe in then why would you want to give the opportunity for the opposition to spread? I mean this in regard to serious things like trans rights, not whether or not stars is good or whatever.

I think Ben Shapiro is a bad dude. If Joe Rogan has Ben Shapiro on his show and some dummy listening thinks Shapiro is making sense and starts seeking out more stuff along those lines, Joe Rogan has acted as a gateway to Ben Shapiro, which is bad.
