Blizzard is saved, guys

Deleting sprites that are drawn too attractive is almost the same as not molesting your employees

Needless over-correction IMO

They are really doing that?

I don't understand what ugly people's end goal is. Get rid of the supermodels, and then it's just going to be a competition amongst ugly people about who is less ugly. A current 5 becomes a 10, etc... They are so afraid of human nature.

Rather than pretend human nature isn't real, learn how to live with it, make sense of it and incorporate it into your daily life. Ya know, like an adult does. Only children demand that the world change to suit them.

What have they won? SCOTUS is 6-3, DACA is deceased, abortion has been thwarted, Dems can't even get tax hikes approved, you'll get both Chambers in 2022.

Your fort is secure, let them have their elf MUSH.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but this is the whole point of our system; it's not supposed to be one-party rule. That was called england, that is what we were trying to escape from when the nation formed. Power shifts left to right all the time, at both the local, state and national level. That's the whole point. That's the point of checks and balances, and that system has produced the most abundant and flourishing nation on earth. So it might be a good system, I dunno.

However it is currently being threatened by insane people who want to completely uproot it and essentially replace it with communism, despite having never lived under communism.

It's funny how people who flee communist countries come to the US and warn people against it while championing capitalism, while the only people in favor of it are, ironically, dorks who grew up under capitalism and have no idea what communism actually entails, and have apparently never read a history book.

How seriously threatened? Twitter isn't real life.

I’m not threatened. I’m saying it’s hypocritical to have a culture that encourages women to constantly objectify themselves, then to take offense when men do it to women (are we even sure it’s men doing it too? How do we know these characters aren’t being drawn by women?). And also, men are objectified and no one complains, which also comes across as hypocritical by the ones complaining about women being objectified

And I’ve been on both sides of the fence, so I think I am allowed to have an opinion on life as a fat and thin person. Here’s my cousin and I, 10 years apart

But I do agree that people are caving to a vocal minority on Twitter

Uh no the woke agenda is disturbingly prevalent in our congress and broader culture. I agree the twitter crazies are a minority, the issue is that the majority of other people are easily cowed by nice-sounding words. They hear the perfectly vague term "racial justice" and go "well sure I agree with that!", only to find out it means segregating classrooms and dorms by race. And demonization of "whiteness" IE collectively blaming an entire race for the actions of a few. It is literally going backward in terms of social progress, all while claiming to be "progressive". It's an insane circus sideshow at this point, and a complete contradiction of terms.

MSNBC, a *major* mainstream media outlet, calls larry elder "The black face of white supremacy" because he has like, somewhat conservative views on taxes and social programs or something. They just completely dismiss his free agency to make up his own mind. They lecture us about "not stereotyping" and then insist black people are all supposed to think the same thing and vote for the same party. It's completely racist and backward, and they have the gall to pat themselves on the back for being the good guys. Barf. America has never been less racist than it is today, and people pretend it's worse than ever because they live in an ideological bubble. And there's certainly a bubble on the right too, don't get me wrong. But the left's bubble is far more pernicious.
