It's like they get exposed to one (mildly) more charismatic man spouting hate and immediately change their world view. Or only feel secure enough to revel in the world view they always had after other (mildly) more charismatic men do the same. Either way: why are white men so weak? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 31 points 8 months ago A lot of white guys are told by our society, both implicitly and explicitly, that they are supposed to be "successful" when very few people actually are. People with no class analysis who have never faced the direct and brutal hand of capital will fall for the first easy answer that gives them a solution to their problem, regardless of whether that solution actually works, or whether their problems are actually even valid. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 27 points 8 months ago* This is the same guy defending his newfound apologia for using AI slop in the concept phase. Glad I never bought BG3. I did get D2:OS on a steep discount years ago and it was pretty great but clearly that is in spite of this fucking ghoul. I hate how normalized this shit is still. Like casual transphobia and homophobia is something we just put up with back in the 90s and early oughts but it is depressing to see how little we have progressed and in someways backslid recently. 99% of even "libs" I know deserve to be put in camps. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago Larian is a Belgian company, admittedly I don't know what the unionization situation is like over there. permalink fedilink source parent
