I ... what the ...
They can't
possibly believe this actually
helps their image at all, can they? This
has to be a piss take. Please tell me it's a piss take.
It must really stick in his craw though, even if he knows it's politically expedient to throw the match. Men that pull this shit against women absolutely
hate losing a game rigged in their favor.
Why does he pretend he doesn't understand his wife's objections? It sounds like she very clearly and succinctly explained them. Why does he feel good knowing he's just devastated his wife (or offended her)? Oh, I know, he's doing it because this is how he gets his jollies. He
loves forcing his bullshit into others' lives, even his own family's, even if it hurts them, because it makes him feel special. Fucking asshole.
The media, by far. They're supporting and encouraging this shit and punishing and censoring people speaking out against it. That does far more damage to many more people than individual troons ever could.
It never ceases to amaze me when people expect to be able to shit on someone (e.g. the BBC in this case) but then be given fair, even-handed and unbiased treatment by that same entity.
This is why people hate LGBT. Right here. I read through (and downvoted and reported) every negative review posted concerning this nontroversy. Every single fucking one lied, exaggerated and completely misinterpreted what happened. It's the hyperbole and over-the-top reactions to a perfectly reasonable action that really pisses people off more than these dumbasses can even imagine.
Every one of them screamed the exact same talking points, that the dev is "denying their existence" and "obviously homophobic and transphobic." Their crime? Temporarily banning someone from global chat for repeatedly spamming their sexual orientation in general chat and then publicly confirming that the mod who did it made a good call.
Just saying "dude, no1curr, this is global chat, so talk about the fucking game instead of your junk and who you stick it in" is somehow enough to "deny [their] existence."
On the plus side, when you flag/report a review on Steam that contains URLs to random shit on the internet, Steam automatically removes the link from the review (except -- regrettably -- twitter posts). It appears to remain true even when logged out, so they're not just hiding the links for me because I reported the reviews. So at least for everything I flagged, that stupid google doc they're all spamming isn't linked anymore. I've no doubt they're still posting it in new reviews though.
It's all so tiresome.
Friendly reminder that a thread being featured is not an excuse to shit it up.
