Don't forget about the comic she made downplaying the seriousness of male r*pe on mens mental health awareness day, and the arguments she participated in under her own post with male victims of SA.

I'd argue it does more damage to directly contribute to triple A gaming companies by buying the crap they release than to abstain from paying for games altogether. People deserve to enjoy things without having to contribute to corporations to do so.

I know you're probably referring mostly to indie developers though. The thing is that this feels like a moot point to argue because we have no real way of knowing how much piracy directly harms a game developer. Maybe an indie game would have performed better had someone not "cracked" it. Maybe it would have performed worse due to people who are unwilling to gamble by spending their money on a revokable game license not discovering & publicly praising it. In reality I think if it's a good game with effort put into it, people are going to pay for it regardless - not everyone, but the vast majority of people who would be playing it, even if just because they don't know how to pirate

Look like, I assume, even though I had no pictures of myself or anything that could be mistaken for one on my profile. But he wasn't wrong about me being fruity so 🤷‍♂️

Still don't understand what the california roll part was supposed to mean though

Oh ok, thank you for the explanation. I also replaced it just to be safe

If it helps, people seem to be a lot more open to questions and discussion here than on sites like reddit. Its pretty refreshing.

With the AI stuff, they are not just copying the work, they are stealing small creators livelihoods as well as the efforts of their labour.

They're also distributing the work and making profit off of it. This isn't really comparable to someone pirating a game in the age where digital ownership is near dead and every other new game is $60 with game breaking glitches on release

Thanks for this info, I know it's probably not a factor for most but dismissing the existence of a group of people as "political" is a definite dealbreaker for me.

Can you explain what you mean to a less technologically inclined person?

Funniest way to get permabanned

And even though there was actually no threat of violence, disputing the ban will do nothing because there are no humans reviewing the ban appeals (speaking from experience)

Thank you!!

Yup. Was permabanned for "advocating for violence" by saying a certain green hatted man was justified in his actions. And before that, a week long ban for directly quoting Rump's unhinged rambling during the debate to make fun of what he said.
