There’s nothing to remember here, the dude just didn’t know what they were called as a kid. They’ve been minifigs since their creation in the late 70s.
She’s doing exactly the same thing the dude you just accused of oppression is doing.
The main difference is that she has billions of dollars to promote her perspective, and millions of followers that listen to what she has to say. The dude “oppressing” her in this situation is just some random nobody on a site that might as well not even exist for all the cultural power it wields.
You had a pretty reasonable argument on the first post, but this took a hard turn into bullshit real quick.
Spouse and I have a discussion on what to do after you pour a sauce out of a glass bottle. I do nothing but my wife takes her finger and wipes the excess from the bottle before she puts the lid back on. I think touching the food is disgusting and she thinks leaving it there to gum up the lid is disgusting. What do people do?
If there’s a decent dribble there I’ll grab a paper towel or napkin and clean it off first, but I usually don’t worry about it. Wiping it off with a finger is disgusting though IMO. Her finger has about a thousand times more nasty stuff than anything in the sauce bottle, that’s a great way to contaminate an entire container.
The majority of the current ‘democrat’ party in the US are Neoliberals. Yeah it’s a right wing ideology, that’s the whole point of recognizing that even the ‘left wing’ here are still primarily conservatives.
It’s vaguely referenced in The Last Jedi, but it doesn’t really go anywhere. Finn discovers the dude they stole the ship from was selling military hardware to both sides, and that’s basically all it ever comes up.
It is more of a big theme in the prequels, where you have the constant undercurrent of Palpatine orchestrating the conflict and driving the war machine for both sides. It comes up a lot in the Clone Wars show. But even then it’s not really about both sides driving perpetual war so much as how he used civil unrest to justify a proxy war to solidify his own power.
Obviously it’s often used colloquially for women. That doesn’t change what it literally means. What I’m trying to point out here is that if you’re looking for porn, don’t call women ‘girls’, because it sounds like you’re looking for children. It’s pretty fucking simple.
Nothing mistaken, I just don’t give a rats ass. Using a 20 year old, wildly exploitative porn franchise that went bankrupt after its founder was accused of creating child porn is not exactly a convincing argument that ‘girls’ is a useful term to find porn of adult women.
That’s nice. Also completely pointless since you can’t seem to grasp a simple concept.
I don’t fucking care.
If you don’t want to be confused for a pedo, stop calling women ‘girls’ when searching for porn. It’s not the 90s anymore. This is only going to be more common as the fight against AI CSM escalates.
Look, I’m not advocating for anything here, I’m not suggesting anyone who’s ever said ‘girl’ should be thrown in prison.
I just pointed out that it’s a specific term used to refer to female children, thus it makes sense that search engines are using it to weed out unwanted searches for child porn. It’s a reasonable step to take on their part, and absolutely doesn’t affect anyone that isn’t looking for CSM. Just use any other word for women. Hell, there are plenty of other derogatory words for women you can use that will still get you tons of results just in case denigrating women is an important part of your searching process.
That ship sailed over a decade ago. You can look at the current gaming landscape and pretend this isn’t already normalized. Compared to most AAA game releases, this is a step in the right direction.
I mean, I certainly haven’t noticed that. Even if you don’t like your character, you can still easily buy the item in game. I’ve only been playing about 5 hours and can easily afford to change my character appearance 5 times over.
So what games have you played in the last decade? This is the industry, you might as well complain about predatory concession prices at movie theaters. Is it shitty? Sure. But it’s a trap for the ignorant, and frankly I can only go so far to try to protect people from throwing away their money on stupid things.
It can, but definitely doesn’t in this case. The systems in question in DD2 are identical to the first game. There’s nothing in the game at all that encourages you to spend money or alerts you that you can. Frankly I wouldn’t have even known these micro transactions existed if there wasn’t so much online drama about it.
The difficulty of getting ferrystones is by design, no different than the previous game. If you fast travel everywhere you’re missing out on a lot of the events in the world. They’re handy to use in certain situations, but there are other options to get around.
You’re a consumer in a capitalist society, you should absolutely have you guard up every single time you pull out your wallet. Why is this specific game any different?
Well, I respect the consistency. I’m just glad they reeled it back after the shit with MH World. Having the character edit only available via outside purchase was fucked up, I was livid about that. It’s just hard for me to get worked up about this in comparison.
They're not "Minifigs," they're "Lego Men." Even the female ones. I feel very strongly about this.
Also, they’ve sucked ever since they stopped having just basic smiley faces....
