Orson is so frustrating. Speaker for the Dead is a wonderful book about not judging other cultures, their practices or desires. Things that may seem shocking to you personally, are normal and celebrated by others.

And it’s written by a bigot. Like dude, have you even read your own book?

It’s a far better Ghostbusters movie than the last two garbage ones that were put out

💯

As a fan of the books, I was initially pretty upset with some of the changes, but I’m glad I stuck with it. The show is it’s own thing that goes to some fascinating places.

Perhaps in a purely academic limbo of examining the writing techniques, but that’s not the world any of us actually live our lives. “Death of the Author” is a cop out, especially when the author still lives.

Fundamentally I won’t ever be able to pick up my teenage favorite Sandman again without seeing the parallels between Neil and Morpheus rape, entrapment and abuse of the women who they lord power over. My own personal emotional connection to any of his character, worlds or stories is irrevocably shattered. I can’t view that as a character flaw, but more of a self-insert to Neils personal fantasies.

It sucks but that is where we are at now. :/

Neil fuckin Gaiman.

The monster went from my favorite author to a name that elicits rage and disgust.

You’re misunderstanding the meme, Idk if willfully so since OP has already clarified it for you but that’s not what it is saying. Reading the ape as a viet cong is a reach and you should let this go.

Monkey meat is a common food in Veitnam. , this and dog meat is normal in many Asian countries. It’s a cultural norm for a species indigenous to the reason, kinda like every cultures food.

If you think it’s wrong or immoral, I’d suggest doing some thinking on what exactly is the difference from eating cow, sheep, chicken or pig. Either all animals are fair game or they aren’t. It would be hypocritical and racist to ignore or limit another cultures traditions.

Hon, this situation is literally the exact definition of virtue signaling. You care more about expressing how against animal abuse you are, over the actual facts of what happened. Which is the same reason I call it proto-veganism. You’re misusing the language of animal welfare advocates to instead be loud about one particular pet issue. (Pun intended 😉)

Look sis, if all you’re asserting is that the video looked like abuse and all explanations to the contrary are baseless from biased parties, then there is very little I can say to convince you otherwise. I’m sure you think I’m a Hasan lover, when I truth I can’t stand the man. His whole dude bro yelling style stresses me the fuck out, agree with his politics, but I NEVER watch his stream. Don’t even have a twitch account.

So instead of going through all the points/counterpoints of this conspiracy can I just ask you to occams razor this? Is it more likely Hasan has secretly been shocking her for years, taping over prongs when accused and gaslighting everyone who comes to his house? Or that she bumps her paw against the bed, which you can clearly see in the video, and yelps at the same time Hasan reaches for something on his desk?

Look, you can make a tinfoil hat about anything you want. No one could stop you. But fundamentally, with all of the racist, sexist and transphobic shit happening in the US, is putting your energy towards Hasans dog really a good use of time? Even in the scope of animal abuse, this is nothing compared to the daily abuse of the meat and dairy industries.

Hasan was banned for correctly criticizing zionism and Israeli genocide, I truly don’t understand why you’re talking about a dog instead.

Oh whatever, don’t even play that proto-vegan card. If you actually cared about animal welfare, or just pets I guess, then doing even the barest amount of research into Kaya would show it’s BS.

Your misplaced outrage is nothing but virtue signaling.

A lot of folks are listing their favorite games but this is the one that truly fits.

• Unusually long development time by a studio known for DnD-simmiliar RPG games getting the next installation for the series that defined the genre.

• Cast voice actors for several years, ones that are still playing their characters on a variety of platforms.

• Just chock filled references to DnD lore, cute in-jokes, and faithful updates on old characters.

Everyone involved clearly loved it!
