It just wound up being several minutes of Rich saying he needs to find the sexual assault, gee golly it would be awkward to find a cover with rape. Just could have done without it, personally.

Hence the Bundy family entering into an armed standoff against BLM (Bureau of Land Management) agents and getting off with a shockingly lenient sentence.

Like I'm guessing she's right when she says she's sure he's done this before and since, like he probably thought the movement was over by that point and nobody was gonna say anything about him. Joe you hosed it up, you done hosed yourself all up.

It really shows how many people are total psychopaths and are only kept from doing horrible things by not having the means. Youtube microcelebrities seem like a fairly random sampling of otherwise unexceptional white people, and look at how many of them instantly become rapists and exploiters once a little money slips into their hobby.

It's not just him. He only got outed because people decided to speak out about a fuckton of twitch streamers being abusers for years. On top of that we've got the entirety of wrestling getting taken to task, and comics and gaming have had some big names called out (Warren Ellis for comics, Avellone for games). And in all of these cases it's impossible to separate the art from the artist. Because these fuckers wouldn't have the power to do this awful poo poo if it wasn't for their respective art.

Cryaotic was also outed (I think maybe again) yesterday as a sex pest, in this particular case grooming underage women because of course he did. I think the only one that's said anything from his circle was Dodger. In funnier news, Jeremy Hambly is trying to pick on John Boyega because he's desperate for relevance. https://twitter.com/JohnBoyega/status/1275003725661290496

I think the only one that's said anything from his circle was Dodger. He wasn't even really outed, he literally posted a video admitting to it. It's baffling that there are still replies that are like "uhh where's the proof" in the twitter replies Dodger said something but didn't specifically call out his name. I know she and Strippin both left their like youtube management group cause I think also the head of the group was outted too? Jesse Cox hasn't said anything specifically I don't think but I know one of the devs of Monster Prom is gonna be working on a statement and he and those devs are probably gonna be replacing Cry. Though I can't imagine that's difficult, there isn't a ton of voiced dialogue in that game. Also Octopimp, who is also part of that group, literally did a pokemon gen 1 tier list with Cry like... a day before his video went out, so that's pretty awful timing.

So how long until Joe rejoins Doug and Brad? In all seriousness, yeah, this really sucks to hear but not at all surprising given his demeanor when reviewing games. Hell, the encounter he had with Geoff Keighley over a small interview should've raised more alarms than it did.

Honestly, no one came out of that dumb Schindler's List looking great. The dude Schreier felt the need to publicly dunk on was a colleague inelegantly trying to compare his emotional response (not even the content) to a movie that, like it or not, has become shorthand for "good, sad thing." Basically, never tweet.

Actually I'm pretty sure almost everyone who took the time to dunk on the brainless cultureless jackass who compared a generic rear end dark and edgy game to Schindler's List came out looking great. What a loving prick. M They are so loving lacking in life experience they - think that's appropriate - think Naughty Dog's writing is that good - can't even think of a less ubiquitous sad movie than Schindler's loving List

People write stupidly rapturous reviews whenever any new thing that's "dark and complex" comes out anyway so I'm not surprised. I don't really think The Last of Us needed a sequel though. At times I wonder what people want out of games journalism. Yes, games journalism sucks. Have you seen the state of... almost all other journalism? There's very little of it out there that doesn't suck.

It feels like that's a thought you keep inside, though, and maybe reflect on why 'misery porn where you have no agency but are blamed for the misery anyway' made him feel the same as one of the most famous example of tragedy in film where the entire point was all the suffering and cruelty was indeed avoidable.

This is stupid. People should be allowed to compare things to other things. They should be allowed to contextualize their emotional responses to media without having to think about what's sacrosanct. And if you're going to say "well, he didn't really contextualize anything, the format of twitter was a bad way to convey that message due to the imposed brevity," exactly. Never tweet. e: It's a dumb comparison but who gives a poo poo? Policing other people's earnest emotional responses to media is just lovely imo.

Is Last of Us Part 2 any good? I'm of the mind that the first game had a good story but rather routine gameplay but I didn't see the need for a sequel. The media coverage of the first game made it out to be God's gift to interactive storytelling, which I found rather eye rolling, and the second game seems to be getting the same treatment. Has anyone here actually played it to give a somewhat less hyperbolic take on the game?

It's fine to compare any movie or game or whatever to Schindler's List, but also be aware that it's gonna be an unbelievably stupid comparison probably 9 times out of 10.

The Schindler's List comparison was mocked because it's the same energy behind the countless amount of Citizen Kane comparisons wrt video games. Even if it's said completely in earnest, if it's just a tweet instead of in a format where it can be elaborated on then you're gonna get put on blast for it.
