  • What anarchist started WW1? Gavrilo Princip was a nationalist, not an anarchist. Inspired by anarchists and anarchist strategies, but he was a nationalist above all.

  • Bella Ciao is an italian partisan song that has been used by antifascists since Mussolini took power. I highly doubt its a video game reference even if he was possibly first introduced to the song by HOI4.

  • Depends where you live. Where I live we just get more funded cops to more expensively harass houseless people.

  • 'Baby shark, doo, doo.' Popular kids' song used to deter the homeless

    Jump

  • All I hear is that those in power are all evil because they refuse to help the homeless. In fact both sides in government work actively to attack the homeless.

    Attacks against the homeless are perpetrated by evil people, its just the people you voted for are also evil

  • Depends on the game. The more competitive, the more toxic it tends to be.

  • "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books"

    Jump

  • Then yeah I get that. Your initial argument without the context you just added was just reminiscent of bigoted arguments. It was wrong of me to assume

  • Unless you are also complaining about it when white male characters are also surface-level, 2-D, copy-and-paste characters then all you are saying is "Only white male characters are allowed to be simple or a stereotype/trope." Lets be honest, not every game needs a complex and well written character, and that is fine. If they choose to go that route it doesn't matter what race, religion, or gender the character is in the first place. So it doesn't matter if they are a white male, a latina woman, or a black non-binary person.

    Now I'm also not gonna shut down your solution without being constructive and providing my own solution, cause I don't think quotas are the answer either. Instead we should be uplifting and empowering marginalized creators and game designers so that they can make more characters that they want to make. Which is generally characters they can relate to. If people want more characters that are women, then the game industry needs to become a safe space for women and empower them so they can provide more representation for characters. Same thing for any other demographic. That will make sure that these characters are being made in an aethentic and organic way, and not just being pumped out to meet a quota, but also isn't restricting when marginalized demographics can be used as characters.

  • Anarchists and Marxists throughout the ages

    Jump

  • Or maybe its because the Red Army had 10x the manpower than the Black Army did and the Black Army also hadn't finished fighting its own civil war yet so it was now fighting a war on multiple fronts. Unlike the Red Army which had just finished off the White Army and now could focus all of its effort on the Black Army.

  • Anarchists and Marxists throughout the ages

    Jump

  • Ignore that the Ukrainian Black Army was pretty helpful in beating the White Army and only lost after the Red Army had finished all of its other opponents and decided to focus all its efforts on beating its former Black Army allies.

    Seems like there is a bit of a trend of Marxist-Leninists thinking their anarchist allies are prime for a knife to the back

  • Its not me trying to protect IP, its me standing in solidarity with artists. They need jobs like everyone else and I feel using AI is enabling corporations to take those jobs. Its an issue of right now we live under capitalism and need to help each other survive, and AI is hurting artists. Once capitalism is gone and artists don't need to work to survive I have no issue with AI being used cause you aren't hurting anyone anymore. I do not feel you can be in solidarity with artists and writers and also use generative AI as a medium as opposed to a tool.

    I feel a good example is the Luddite movement. Industrialization can be good, especially in terms of reducing labor and increasing productivity. But in a capitalist world it comes with people losing their jobs and thus means to survival. The workers sabotaging the machinery were doing it because their jobs were at stake, not some moral issue with the tool. The tools are immoral because of how they affect people. Until you can get rid of that affect, it is immoral to use it. If we want to use GenAI we need capitalism gone. We need to work in the reality that exists presently, not the ideal future.

  • I don't care about copyright. I am an anarchist. What I was getting at though is AI is stealing jobs from writers and artists, and so I was arguing the use of AI is scabbing.

  • I wasn't talking about whether it was good or bad. I was talking about the ethics of AI. You didn't engage with any part of what I said.

  • You're example is a good case of using AI well. However I think there is a difference between using AI to help with something, and using AI for the whole thing. I have no qualms with using AI to ease or automate the tedious work, but using it for the whole thing is gross, lazy, and often times scabbing. For example I love Romantically Apocalyptic. Its artists uses an AI trained off of his own art to speed up the process of making art for his books. The images are not 100% AI generated, and what is generated is made from his own art. This I feel is a good use of AI in art. A bad use of AI art is training a model off of other people's art and generating a whole image out of it. Until we live in a society where artists and writers don't need to work to survive, we can't ethically use AI to generate whole works using other people's work imo.

  • Yall tend to forget that not everyone lives in cities (or even well developed cities), and not everyone wants to. Sure yeah your idea is good for those living in well developed cities and want to live in them. But those of us who don't really do need to own a car. Public transport is not a one size fits all, and yall need to stop pretending like it is.

  • What would this list look like for your generation?

  • It was definitely created by millenials, but that doesnt mean it wasn't used by gen z. Generations aren't as clear cut as people like to pretend

  • Some of this was Gen Z slang. Like ROFLcopter. Early Gen Z was part of the stuff like Gay Luigi, the troll song, nyan cat, yeeee, rick rolling, swag, 360 no scope mlg, etc
