Days later, I would realize that we are in the comments, proving the middle of the meme correct by arguing semantics for no good reason! Hahey!

You have to be prepared and liking guns isn’t some horrible thing with American consequences.

Again… Nobody is arguing that this isn’t true…

… Just that every leftist does not have to like guns. Don’t know why this is so hard a concept.

you like guns

No, they’re a necessary tool for change.

So you like guns because they provide change.

No, I’d prefer if we could have change without having to shoot people.

Who said anything about shooting people? They’re just fun range toys.

My friend, it’s ok to be wrong. The more you shuffle goal posts around the more foolish your argument looks. Nobody once said that guns or marksmanship aren’t normal hobbies, they said leftists don’t inherently like guns. Not even that leftists specifically don’t like guns.

It is fun to shoot targets and clay pigeons and you should try it.

I go to the range every week to shoot my collection of guns. You and I liking guns due to them being fun does not mean leftists as a whole need to enjoy them.

In what way does this detract from what they said?

“We don’t like guns, we need them”

“Oh yeah, well what about the times you needed guns?”

Well duh, they’re on the street because they’re experiencing decision paralysis on what house to live in that day.

Yeah, I get the sentiment but… this is pretty not fantastic, lol.

But… but they added little white triangles for vampire teeth :(

Guy who betrays everyone to side with Sauron: Sauron-man.

No. You must feel bad.

Oh wow, yeah you gotta clean those things huh. Another reason why I’d never want one of those fuck ugly things even if I weren’t a poor

I just can’t see you changing any minds or naturally fostering a materialist understanding in this manner

They aren’t trying to do either, they want to rage bait people into debating them so they can le epically SMASH them with facts and logic.

I get that these are “sticking it to the AI companies”, but aren’t we also supposed to be freaking out about how much energy these things consume and pollution caused by them?

They’re mad at #2 because #1 gives them all the money they need to do #3. So why do they need my money too?

So disappointed they changed clothes and went to a different venue 😉

I like how it’s:

If you love America and are pissed about … please contact me.

… and not, “if you’re a good bassist looking for a band”. Tells you all you need to know about the quality of music they’re gonna put out.

But who was phone?

Even Lord of the Rings has racist elements - JRR Tolkein said in multiple occasions that he based the dwarves on Jews

I don’t doubt this, given the era the man was born, but have you got a source? I tried digging something up, and the only things I can find are that Khuzdul is based on Hebrew, and a lot of letters during and post WWII speaking highly of Jews and poorly of Hitler and the Nazis.

I think you replied to the wrong response

the issue … isn’t just that it’s … horrifically racist and misogynistic, it’s also a terrible game

It’s funny, but it seems like I read this phrase a lot, and not just about games (book series, movies, shows, etc). I can’t think of any other good examples off the top of my head, but it seems that every time an artist takes a really cool or interesting concept and fills it with bigotry, they also fill it with poorly written mechanics, potholes, clunky dialogue…

Sure, there’s media with language that doesn’t age well, but it seems like 9/10, when something is made with blatant hate, there isn’t even an incentive to try to push past or ignore it; the content is garbage with or without the drivel. The initial concept is just good enough to get people to want to give it a shot.
