Called it. There is no non-white fragility explanation for having that objection.

Though my North American Indigenous history professor considered her "a bit overly crtitical at times" lol.

A very strange conclusion to draw especially since in iits final conclusion it bends over backwards to try to find a way the US can somehow "redeem" itself rather than admitting the obvious that future history can only be righted with its destruction. Was this professor white, by any chance? I can imagine how such a work would offend their white fragility.

Seeing people on this site of all places voluntarily engaging with Bond is baffling to me. What's appealing about an entire franchise where we're supposed to take the side of the British imperialist intelligence agency.

Grey morality is nice for stories. It categorically does not exist in real life. The people you meet on a daily basis are not "morally gray". They're generally decent but flawed individuals, or they're just straight up selfish greedy callous bastards. You never encounter someone who straddles the line between "good" and "evil". The idea that there are people who do bad things for good reasons or good things for bad reasons has been sensationalized by media when the truth is most people are never put in situations where we're required to do either.

When people act with cruelty or malice, sorry to say, there often isn't a deeper reason for it. The bully picking on you at school doesn't have a secret traumatic backstory, it just makes him feel big and powerful picking on someone with less power to fight back, and he has a compulsive need to feel big and powerful. Could there possibly be a psychological reason for the for that that ties back to his home life, possibly, are you obligated to give a shit, absolutely not. And that is the underlying psychological failing of every evil bastard that has ever existed, from the schoolyard bully robbing you for fun to the Internet gangstalker doxxing some woman to your landlord destroying your life over six hundred dollars to the autocratic dictator committing a genocide. The main fundamental difference between all of these people is only how much power they have, and directly how how much damage they can cause. It's still the same mental deficiency at the end of the day. It's the difference between a stick of dynamite and a nuke. Explosions are explosions.

Or am I a conspiracy nut?

You are but that just means you're correct more often than most.

It would actually be incredibly easy to make a game better than BG3 if you were allowed to use literally any system other than 5E.

  1. Even worse. And it didn't even go into effect until 2014.

I'll repsect Sweden for this only when they make bestiality illegal too.

Yes that's a thing as long as the animal is "of a certain size" and the animal "doesn't come to any harm" (now if you're normal you'd say SAing an animal for any reason is definitionally bringing it to harm but never mind) you can legally fuck animals in Sweden.

Pretty weird to join the war on incest on the side of incest.

AAA slop is fundamentally not art. Your yearly FIFA is not art. It is a skinner box designed to extract as much money as possible. Gameplay and art direction and writing are not its concern. On the art/product spectrum it is so far into product that it has fallen off a cliff.

As someone who likes good video games and hates bad video games I also look forward to the PS6 being 100% lost.

It's like that fuckoff insane Infrared line about Marx being a secret Shia Muslim mystic but in the opposite direction.
