@bingoh: I am amazed by how difficult it is for so many people to understand this...like seriously, reading comprehension shouldn't be that hard...it is refreshing to read comments like yours...
@dockmazter: "I was just making sure we agreed that the pressure to fire Gina Carano came from public outcry and it wasn't just a personal decision Disney had made internally"
I'm with you on this, I think that if her post would have gotten 0 attention, or actually lots of love, she would still have a job with them.
And that new article by GameSpot, damn I don't get how you can read her post and conclude that's anti-Semitism (defined as hostility to or prejudice against Jewish people)...it's like posting "in 2021 kids are still forced to work harvesting vegetables, how is this a thing still?" and then have people conclude "wow, this was a post full of hatred towards vegetarians and vegans..."
@kellian1: While you make a very valid point on how fascism by definition is not what some people think it is nowadays (despite being like 20+ definitions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_fascism) , I would like to argue that there is in fact historical context for some of what she posted. Neighbor versus Neighbor has been mentioned by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum itself: https://www.ushmm.org/teach/teaching-materials/roles-of-individuals/ethical-leaders/background/some-were-neighbors
Now, I was not born in the States so I might not read as deep into her comment as Americans might (I am aware she is a conservative/republican), but I don't see her mentioning the word republicans or conservatives in her post, all I see is a comment that says that one of the worst and most abhorrent historical events in humanity came to happen after people lost respect of their neighbors based on their ethnicity. Then she raises a question on how is this different (to hate someone for their ethnicity) than hating someone for their political beliefs. In other words, what is going to happen if we don't stop this "I hate you for your political views"? what are we enabling as a society? I have seen it happen in both directions so I didn't think she was victimizing republicans...
I don't agree with the full analogy because ethnicity is not chosen and you can't change it, while ideologies may grow and improve, or even be abandoned. I honestly thought the post invited to an interesting conversation around those lines. However, if I am missing something I'd love to be educated on it and learn....
@attirex: This. If it's not their thumbnails, it is their headlines. If Gamespot would have been around for The Empire Strikes Back release, I am sure their first article, the morning after the premiere, would have been something like...(spoilers ahead btw)...
"How Darth Vader being Luke's father changes Star Wars forever"
Warning, the following article contains spoilers for Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back....
With a thumbnail pic of Luke fighting Vader, missing one hand...
@justthetip: I agree Sony has the best quality overall in exclusives (Bloodborne reigns supreme), however, this article shows it doesn't always translate in GOTY (for GameSpot at least...). For perspective, the actual numbers from the article are:
Multiplat: 8
Nintendo: 7
Sony: 4
PC: 3
Xbox: 1
VR: 1
Dreamcast: 1
And if we look just at the PS4 generation (where I think Sony came up with some of their best exclusives ever):
Multiplat: 5
Nintendo: 2
VR: 1
I was thinking that mb multiplats are favored as they have a wider reach...but then we have that VR game. Ah well, outliers are not a bad thing.
