Waiting for Hamas to give early access to patreon supporters

He married Lucy Rose Deedes, the daughter of Bill Deedes, whom he has since divorced.

Makes sense. If he hadn’t divorced Bill after marrying Lucy, things could’ve gotten very awkward.

Can it consent?

Yeah of course, it’s completely irrational to give them so much attention. But I don’t know to what extent it’s humanly possible to react rationally to hate like that. I think it wears you down over time.

Hasan gets a ridiculous amount of hate and it’s his job to engage with chat. I don’t think most of us can imagine the kind of toll it takes on you to have to read so many people’s hate messages on a daily basis.

I remember when he was on the Deprogram and like 80% of it was him defending himself against things haters accuse him of. None of the podcast boys said anything, he just started talking about it. Imo it’s gotten noticeably worse over the last 2 years.

They’re currently getting shoutouts from all the right-wing zionists

I strongly disagree with this comment.

Bayonetta is not a sexualized character, she is a sexual character. A female character being sexualized means that there is external emphasis on her sexuality when the character herself does not define herself by her sexuality in a major way. My go-to example for this is Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat 9, who is supposed to be a tough, no-nonsense military woman but who wears skimpy clothing for no reason other than , despite it making no sense for who she is as a character. Bayonetta does define herself by her sexuality, she’s flirty and sexy because she wants to present herself that way. And sure, you could argue that that is still imposed on her by an outside entity because she is a fictional character, but you can guess where that line of reasoning would lead you.

There are plenty of women who enjoy being sexy and who define themselves by their sexuality as Bayonetta does. It only becomes a problem when women who don’t want to be (primarily) perceived as sexy are forced to do so by outside entities to appeal to the male gaze. That is when someone who isn’t “sexual” by themselves becomes sexualized. This is absolutely not the case for Bayonetta, she has full agency over her sexuality and expresses it out of her own volition.

Karlach is a completely different character archetype than Bayonetta is. Karlach’s sexuality is not a primary aspect of her character the same way Bayonetta’s is, a better comparison from BG3 would be Mizora. A competent, dominant character who presents herself as sexy. Mizora is not a sexualized character, but if you put Shadowheart in Mizora’s outfit while making no changes to who she is as a character, that would be an example of sexualization. If there was a scene where Mizora gives the player a lapdance it wouldn’t be much of an issue because it makes sense for her character to want to do that, if there was a lapdance scene for Shadowheart it would be a very different thing.

You can criticize Bayonetta for being a man’s idea of a female power fantasy character, but you can’t criticize her overt sexuality as an inherent flaw. Plenty of women do enjoy being perceived as sexual beings, they enjoy the idea of being a succubus or a seductress, and the idea of only women being allowed to create characters like that is ridiculous. Sexy, seductive female characters in games are not inherently misogynistic.

What does “dictator” even mean anymore. Trump didn’t have more power while in office than Biden does. It’s the exact same government position under the exact same system.

Agree with this change.

Why are you pretending that Biden isn’t currently in power and hasn’t been in power for the past 4 fucking years? Why has he done jackshit about abortion as of yet, and why do you think he’ll do something once reelected?

It’s self defence, Jack!

China is genociding employment opportunities for the youths, crippling their entrepreneurial spirit 😔

It’s gotten to the point where my German, liberal, status quo stanning parents can no longer defend Israel. I’ve talked on here before about my immense frustrations with them because they just kept parroting “but Khamas” talking points, not because they’re evil ghouls, but because they’re naive libs who believe whatever the news says.

But while German news hasn’t changed its tone at all, there’s only so many times you can say “Israel massacred even more civilians but the IDF assures us they didn’t do it in a genocidal way” before your audience goes “Hey, hold on, wait a minute.”

They’re not cheering for our brave Al-Qassam mujahideen yet and my dad is already pivoting to “it’s Netanyahu’s fault”, but I’m just relieved that they’re not defending this nazi terror state anymore. I’ve been feeling like I’m going insane for the past 6 months. I’m glad they’re no longer pretending like this is normal.

I feel like they had a joke in there that could’ve worked but the delivery made it pretty much incomprehensible. Something something Jackson Hinkle something something “Nobody knows more about antisemitism than me”

I see what they were going for but apparently they couldn’t find a single funny person in the entire country.

Went to uni with a guy who was both an outspoken communist and an even more outspoken zionist (only in germany )

I checked his twitter shortly after October 7th and he was doing hasbara like a good little doggy, ticking all the boxes.

Checked his twitter again last week and his tweets are now protected. Aww, were people mean to you cause you defended the fucking Nazis?

Does anyone here play starcraft 2 co-op? would be fun not to have to queue with randoms all the time
