In the show, a storyline involving her character Remy having an interracial relationship was considered so shocking that she said there were “insane death threats constantly coming into the studios” and extra security had to be hired. Remy was also bisexual, something she says was considered groundbreaking at the time, but is commonplace today. “Seeing what’s on television now, if you watch ‘Euphoria,’ the fact that that my character was shocking and groundbreaking then, it’s like, no, it’s nothing.”

 

Ex-staff members say they saw one of the couple who runs the site kissing and touching a drunk colleague.

 

Players online had already been pointing out the similarities

 

Fans say Muppet History sent them unwanted sexual messages.

 

A confusing mess.

That works? I tried it and somehow it did not do a thing for me. Maybe it was a bug.

Oh, the big ones and the small ones can't be distinguished from one another? That's not ideal.

Though I can tell you from the time I spend in the game, even when you use the original model of those creatures, it's hard to gauge if they are dead or not. I have definitely spend lots of time standing on rock, shooting frantically at something that turned out to be a corpse lateron.

1985's Marginal is an interesting example of how BL comics can be used to talk about women’s experiences of gender and the patriarchy.

They are. And it's very telling that the "a submachine gun in the hands of a baby is perfectly fine" crowd clutches their pearls when there's violence in mangas. Of course, it is only a pretext for their true political goals, but the faux outrage is so transparent.

 

On October 27, 2024, two districts in the state of Tennessee called for the removal of various manga titles from school libraries. The series, among which are beloved franchises like Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, and Attack on Titan, were deemed inappropriate for children. The government officials who approved the mandate determined that the manga series violated the state's Age-Appropriate Materials Act.

 

After playing wheelchair-bound Nessarose in 'Wicked', Marissa Bode called out ableist jokes about the character that made her "deeply uncomfortable."

 

When thinking of “disability representation” a dark urban fantasy and a former eroge like Tsukihime may not be the first thing that comes to mind, but its unfiltered depictions of Shiki’s experience with his curse, and its overall themes of otherness, isolation, and perspective speak profoundly to the marginalized experience.

 

A Russian disinformation operation has set its sights on Stalker 2, which has become a symbol of Ukrainian perseverance.

It is such a great book!

Jokes aside, this thought was a big part of what lead to my final egg crack.

I think the games you mention are one of the reason why people are working on making horse games better. 😄

Yeah, it's another case of employees paying for the mistakes of management. The company was probably doomed the moment Sony decided that they wanted them to create yet another live-service shooter.

Disgusting! Tell me, where do the furries find those naps, so that I can avoid them!?

Because this confuzzled me, note that the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA) are two separate things.

The Digital Markets Act is the one which is meant to remove economic barriers by "gatekeepers". For example the DMA is used to force Google and Apple to open their app stores.

The Digital Services Act is the one that regulates (among other things) moderation, political neutrality and removal of extremist content on social media platforms. That's the one Thierry Breton oversaw and threatened Elon with.

So while exTwitter's lawyers may sigh in relief, because they got out of the DMA; the DSA is still looming large.

Surprise Munecat!

But jokes aside, it is an excellent video (as usual from her).

Can't come soon enough IMO. Not necessarily because I want Reddit to suffer, but because I want Lemmy to thrive.
