This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

An eerie illustration showing a scene of borg drones hanging as puppets controlled by a imposing figure - tentacles and wrecked starships litter the background

Meanwhile I think it's a terrible game because I'll never forgive them for what they did to Viconia.

My only really strong opinion was how hilarious it was that people were accusing The Left™ of hating sex as if Baldur's Gate 3 wasn't one of the most successful games of all time.

(I don't even like BG3, mind, but for different reasons.)

It's always been about control. And even then, it's probably more about recruitment; getting hooks into young men to drag them into the fascist pipeline.

I'd play this game to appreciate a badass woman with a grounded and sensible design. They want to warp her into the same look as a message. It's not even that they're hyper attracted to this look even. It's signalling to the boys that you got your sex object, not signalling attraction

People will try to excuse/defend the chuds by saying they've just watched too much porn but I'm a dyke who watches porn all the time and don't have this problem. Chuds do this because forcing every woman into their ideal sex doll aesthetic is the power fantasy.

Gamers’ brains are so cooked dude. The woman on the right is gorgeous and beautiful. Straight gamer men literally can’t find normal women attractive anymore.

I remember the fun you could have with fractal generation to help make fantasy maps and seriously miss that.

There were considerably more people complaining about people complaining about her than there were people complaining about her, I know that much. The majority of people thought she was a little overdone and a bit plastic-looking, almost burying the real-world model's looks, but that's... about it?

People might have to actually listen to Disturbed.

Also as rallying cries go, 'We as a society literally shot and bombed the Nazis to death en masse, and should do so again!' is hard to beat.

BUT HEY!

THAT'S JUST A Segway to remind you that the FNAF creator/this movie's screenwriter, Scott Cawthon, donates the money he makes from FNAF stuff to far right politicians, many of whom are currently trying to make things worse for everyone, specifically trans people. Don't support this film.

Why would China need an ulterior motive here when ‘hey, it makes money’ is a perfectly legitimate explanation? You’d think Americans would be pretty open to that one, in fact.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.
