How come every time someone points out obviously racist coded stuff, the response is “well I didn’t directly say what my opinion was so how dare you, you’ll never know” like we don’t have reading comprehension and dog whistles.

Then you hone in on the one thing that might validate your blatantly obvious opinion, and tell me to give you sources, instead of actually answering my question.

Then you throw a tantrum saying I won’t give you what you want, and that if I don’t give you what you want, you’re right.

Even though you didn’t have the balls to answer my question.

Here’s a surprise for you, three examples of Problems Black People Can Have That Have Nothing To Do With White People, all of which I can personally attest to:

Black person cheated on their black spouse and they got divorced.

Black person’s car got a flat.

Black person’s favorite cereal was out at the grocery store.

Those problems don’t have anything to do with white people. But some related problems in those situations do.

The judge ordered way harsher child support of the black husband than a white husband would’ve had to deal with.

Cops harassed and threatened to arrest the black person trying to change a tire instead of offering help.

The person at the register accused the black person of stealing for no reason.

So yeah. Three examples. Bet you don’t have the balls to answer my question though.

Sweeping racist accusations under the rug makes them seem valid. If they weren’t racist you could easily show how they weren’t, by seemingly changing the subject it looks like you can’t defend them.

I don’t know much about them but now I’m pretty sure they are racist fucks only because of how you have responded to people here.

Edit: looked them up, leader is paused by the heritage foundation and they are associated with the tea party, so yeah, probably racist fucks.

Ok I have a bone to pick with horror games.

Most horror games are not actually horror games.

Most horror games are actually puzzle games with action sequences between puzzles. They may be thrilling and starting, but how many horror games just involve you solving a puzzle, which can be figuring out something in the environment to proceed or sometimes, like in resident evil, literal puzzles for no reason, and then OH NO OOGA BOOGA SCARY and you either have a fight or do a run and hide. And if you can fight the horror, it’s immediately not horror. It’s action.

Then you have horror games which are just another video game but with a horror twist oh no! I’ve seen these for fishing games and platformers and dating sims.

I’m not saying horror games are bad. If you like them, you’re totally allowed to like them. But there always seems to be a disconnect in horror games.

The problem always boils down to the inherent nature of games and mechanics. Because, by their nature, at their core, video games give you agency. You, using the controller, can control what happens on screen. You are in control.

Horror always must have an element of a lack of control and a lack of agency.

This is why horror games always give you a different feel than other media in horror. This is why there’s usually puzzles, which can slow pacing and have you have something to do, and while they start with a feeling of loss of control, you eventually get control over your environment. Which then the game has to take away, either by a chase scene, which gives you the least control, but mechanically it’s a puzzle or a quick time event, or an action part of the game, which is fun, but it’s action. Thrilling isn’t the same as horror, even if both have adrenaline pumping.

Some games do have clever ways of dealing with this. Perception took away agency by having your character be blind, and made it hard to see anything. The original FNAF was genius. Each action you took to ward off a monster put you in a position of vulnerability to another monster. It’s a timed resource management game sure, but there’s no loopholes, no exploits, and every action, even inaction, makes you vulnerable. That’s really hard to do in a game, and brilliant in it’s simplicity.

And to answer your question, in my opinion the best way to consume horror is being told a story, as a child, and having you think that sorry could very much happen to you.

I also commented with suggestions if you’re looking for more!

As for everyone keeping a secret from everyone? Maybe. You don’t have to share everything with everyone, it’s ok to keep stuff to yourself if you want to. Most secrets are probably pretty banal though.

Then why did you deflect and talk about something else?

Who decides what’s valuable? She probably isn’t valuable under certain metrics. She thinks broken legs are being lazy?

What an obviously dumb and biased post and article. This isn’t news. If you put on the glasses from They Live it would just say “YOU ARE IN THE IN GROUP, LAUGH AT THE OUT GROUP. YOUR POLITICAL POSITIONS ARE VALID. IGNORE THE DEAD CHILDREN.”

So you’re not denying they are racist fucks then

If you feel like you can only like things made by people who haven’t done anything wrong, ever, you’re left with Mr Rogers and that’s about it. Liking something someone made isn’t an endorsement of their actions or opinions. Unfortunately we live in a hyper capitalistic society so buying their stuff can help them with their shitty opinions, so don’t buy new Harry Potter stuff, but feel free to enjoy it.

Except for buying anything new. That’s not cutting her out.

I don’t know about that but I saw something about how they just like, kept a kid? Like in a basement? From one of their videos

So uh I’m guessing that aligns with your beliefs. Please explain to me how white people didn’t fuck over black people? Obviously not all problems black people face are from white people, and obviously not ever single white person has fucked over a black person, but please explain how white people aren’t responsible for a lot of the problems black people go through right now please?

I’ve got a few pretty big counter examples of how they did right here that I’m sure you’d find interesting.

Same with his ex? Wife Amanda Palmer. I love the Dresden Dolls and she’s been very inspirational but knowing she was in on it was fucked up.

If you had donated them, to a thrift store or maybe a library, it would’ve kept someone else from buying a new copy, which would give him money.

“if you have a problem, you can either solve it or you can’t. If you can fix it, no problem! If you can’t, no point in worrying about it!” -from a cartoon sheep from Garfield and Friends, turns out this is writing a bodhisattva.

I’m shit at implementing this wisdom but it’s still pretty good.

Man, God must have weak ass plans if only a few trans people can undo it.

It’s the nature of memetic humor in isolated groups, it’s an in joke everyone is in on

Damn. I’d rather be broke and have friends than live like that for an hour.
