One Piece, of all things, phrased this concept better

so is Israel /j

This. “Hey, instead of parading for the ethnicity that has been victim of discrimination and genocide for millenia, let’s parade for the white colonizers larping as said ethnicity to gain Victim Points™!”

Hey now. Don’t you diss my bro Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwoʻole, author of hit song “Sonewhere over the Rainbow”

And also SMTV

Salt & Sanctuary

no it’s opt out

yeah that’s why I said royal specifically

both are the same person with and without glasses

I can’t decide if this shirt is cornier worn by a man or a woman

why does a search engine that’s marketed as eco-friendly use ai?

Ironic since DuckDuckGo has AI too

Safe, absolutely. Pleasant, depends on the game

more like the writers couldn’t think of a better reason imo

the trans allegory kicks ass so we can ignore an inconsistency or two

for me, it’s the opposite. I don’t mind living in a simulation if everyone else is a real thinking person, but I would’ve felt compelled to help give everyone the option to leave

It’s mostly the third semester plotline which imo is poorly written because, unlike the matrix, the villain has the power to actually rewrite reality. And yet, when the protagonists turn him good, he doesn’t start using his powers for good, fixing injustice, giving everyone (not just the protagonists) the power to shape their own fate… no, he just stops using those powers. The altered world is presented as a ‘false reality’, like in matrix, even though it’s clearly stated that it would eventually become real. It’s as if they took the core idea of matrix but forgot the parts that made it work in the original story

• smoking indoors is done a lot via electronic cigarettes which produce no noticeable smoke
• slavery is still widely practiced through a loophole; in many countries it’s legal if it’s part of prison work, and many big corporations “rent” convicts for cheap
• child labor is also still very active in certain countries, which many western companies outsource their work to

Tears of the Kingdom to un-stick your builds

Can confirm! It can get a bit difficult to reach so far down tho
