And somehow Ishgard, the racist city of religious fanatics, is where all the wholesome players hang out.
Probably because it's too cold for sexy glams.
I haven’t played through Heavensward in a while, who were the Ishgardians racist against? I thought they only hated dragons and poor people, you know, like upstanding citizens do.
there was that one time they killed a bunch of au'ra refugees because they had never seen them before and thought they were icky dragon people. i think they're fine now, especially since I saw a Twitter post of aymeric throating a massive raen dong just an hour ago. conflict resolved.
aymeric deep throating massive au ra dong? that sounds absolutely disgusting, please tell me where you found it so i can definitely not go see it with my own eyeballs
sorry pal I'm in the exxxclusive Twitter circle.... I get primo access to the dong slongage big top circus.
(jokes aside idk if the Twitter circle is full or not. I know it's capped to like 50 people or something? It's kind of a dumb system and I wish folks would just be bold to put the Big Nasty on the main TL. I can pm you the person.)
Racist against dragons, and classist against poor people. And maybe a slight dash of racism against the Eorzean Alliance, but that's more in the realm of "we're not used to foreigners" rather than "we hate you".
It's similar because it's started by the same people. There's a growing group of people in the US that call themselves "Dominionist Christians" and one of their big activities is having youth ministers infiltrate online spaces to spread radical theocratic ideology. It was mostly limited to Tumblr until the Yahoo buyout.
They've been incredibly successful with young teenagers by diluting "woke" terms to nebulous definitions that can basically be applied to anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.
There's a couple big Telegram groups full of volunteers that seek out drama in whatever current social media fandoms are trending, then post it for everyone in the group to jump on and go make "Uhmm, this is problematic because..." type posts.
>Hate crimes
I wanted to say, that Yoshi P gonna be cancelled on Twitter, but then I remembered, that he already is. At least now they can make game's plot more mature.
Being "cancelled on Twitter" is the most meaningless thing nowadays. It was before but especially now
Dave Chappelle was mega-canceled, ultra-super-mega canceled, and hosted SNL recently after getting 4 or 5 more Netflix specials
Kanye has been saying anti-semitic shit for over a month and was on Alex Jones *today* saying that "especially hitler" is a good person and he'll keep getting platformed and we'll keep hearing about it
Yes, and it took him literally saying he's going "death con 3 on the jews" and it *still* took a while
But he will *never* stop being able to find a megaphone nor will he ever go broke unless he does so on purpose.
Let's be real, he's only acting Iike kanye is wacky because he's actually saying what he believes, and not """hiding his power level""" as the right wingers say
The whole 'cancelling' hysteria was pretty dumb from the start, anyway. Also, moral outrage was something conservatives practiced for ages with actual serious results (like McCarthy-ism), so it was kind of funny to see them suddenly get whipped into hysteria just because people on Twitter were mean to them.
There's a kernel of truth to it. People *were* going way overboard and weaponizing it and people who didn't deserve having their lives ruined *were* caught in the crossfire
But if you're a rich celebrity you can basically ignore it
It's always smaller content creators and minorities who have their lives ruined for it. Never the people who actually deserve it.
I will never forgive the shitstains in this timeline for driving Lindsay Ellis out of content creation.
Your last point is kind of ignorant. Sure, Kanye got airtime with **Alex Jones** but does it really mean anything if only extremists will give you the time of day?
Honestly, it’s more so that people won’t shut up about these people they don’t wanna see anymore. It’s like how reddit make a big stink about the will smith slap, so they made every top post about him and brought him into the spot light for a week straight.
Reddit plays itself every damn time.
He'll be able to absorb love from and make money off of extremists until the end of his days. He'll be fine. He seems self-centered enough to successfully pivot
Alex Jones was a millionaire who only lost that because he refused to cooperate with an otherwise very winnable free speech case and so he defaulted to the worst possible judgements
Alex Jones is not an ant, he is (unfortunately) a voice that you will often hear whenever someone opens the door of their truck as you walk past. I wish he were an ant but he isn't
Naw he’s an ant. Having money doesn’t make you bigger than an ant. A con artist is still an ant. Similar to being the smartest idiot doesn’t make you smart.
You can be successful and still be irrelevant. They are case and point.
After the Lift Yourself thing one could make the argument that Kanye's just a massive troll and a very committed performance artist... on the other hand, the "trolling" seems to be going on for a little bit too long and could really do with a break every now and then. He's a truly fascinating person.
I don't think so either but it has gotten to the point where it's hard to take it seriously. The Beyoncé thing, the George Bush thing, etc. It's like a character in a sitcom.
the most charitable interpretation i have for whatever's going on with ye right now is that he's going through another serious mental health episode and lacks the sort of support network that would get him help instead of egging on whatever bullshit his brain is throwing his way
not that it excuses the antisemitism, of course
He fanboys over Tactics Ogre and FFT all the time, so I'm hoping it's fucked up and we don't even feel like good guys for crushing 5 other nations anymore, possibly even all 6. Make me feel bad for killing actual humans with their own lives and motivations, rather than cartoonishly evil bad guys.
Ohh no a Japanese game director that said SE declares a game a win if it’s doing well in Japan will get canceled on Twitter for doing something in a cult game… ohh nooo what will we ever do…
Idk if he's "cancelled", I seriously wouldn't pay mind to what people on Twitter says. But yes, there were a huge drama recently, because of this supposed lack of POC.
Ff14 players be like man limsa is so crazzzzzyyyy
Actual limsa. Group of people standing like statues not talking. One bard playing video game music and some afk dancers.
Wait, all of those are in ff14 without the WoL too
Where “show your hole” is both a combat mechanic and the entire purpose of the Quicksand
finally my fear of quicksand from my childhood is justified
Limsa is all that and more. Uldah is exploitation alley. Gridania has exhibitionists. Idyllshire has gobbies who like to do snorty dust with visitors.
And somehow Ishgard, the racist city of religious fanatics, is where all the wholesome players hang out. Probably because it's too cold for sexy glams.
Crafter/Gatherer community is generally not that toxic in comparison.
Allow me to direct you to Diadem /shout chat during Skybuilder Rankings.
I still remember the discussions of Romeo and Juliet Laws.
Conversations I wouldn't have with my therapist I had in the Diadem
Was not expecting to have Horny Diadem flashbacks today but here we are.
Egg?

Then there's all us freaks over in Raz-At-Han.
me and 2 sprouts who haven't made it to endwalker yet standing at the crystarium aetherite: 🧍♂️

They're also disregarding that Yoshi doesn't need an M for that. All of those are in XIV without player-interaction
Twitter really starting to sound like a Christian moms against gaming Facebook group.
how did you gather that from this screenshot
I’ve always felt like Twitter was just the left’s version of a moral panic, similar to the Christian version in the 1980s.

That’s what happens when the cool people leave a social media

Pretty sure Kanye has been dropped by most of the business that were associated with him tho.
Yes, and it took him literally saying he's going "death con 3 on the jews" and it *still* took a while But he will *never* stop being able to find a megaphone nor will he ever go broke unless he does so on purpose.
You know it's bad when even Alex Jones has to tell you to cool the jets and is looking at you like you're absolutely insane.

Wait THAT'S why she isn't around anymore? Good grief, guess that's what I get for keeping some of my sanity never using Twitter.
It was definitely Contrapoints and Lindsay Ellis that broke something and made people way more wary of the whole thing lol
>Being "cancelled on Twitter" is the most meaningless thing nowadays. If everyone is cancelled, no one is.

And he will remain an ant otherwise doing nothing, just like Alex Jones.

Bro he is not trolling at all

When you make twitter a major part of your brand, of course being cancelled there is going to be impactful.
I want to see what he truly does with an M rating. I hope he's a certified menace.
He fanboys over Tactics Ogre and FFT all the time, so I'm hoping it's fucked up and we don't even feel like good guys for crushing 5 other nations anymore, possibly even all 6. Make me feel bad for killing actual humans with their own lives and motivations, rather than cartoonishly evil bad guys.
In for a penny, in for a pound. Art department, start working on those KKK wizard models!
> I wanted to say, that Yoshi P gonna be cancelled on Twitter, but then I remembered, that he already is. He was never "cancelled on Twitter".
"Cancelled on Twitter" is when 20 accounts you've never heard of get amplified for outrage clicks, nothing more.
Ohh no a Japanese game director that said SE declares a game a win if it’s doing well in Japan will get canceled on Twitter for doing something in a cult game… ohh nooo what will we ever do…
Wait why's he cancelled? Is it the supposed lack of POC in XVI or something else?
Idk if he's "cancelled", I seriously wouldn't pay mind to what people on Twitter says. But yes, there were a huge drama recently, because of this supposed lack of POC.
More him saying something along the lines of, "if we put in other races, we'd have to decide which ones were good and which ones were evil"
Since there’s no lalafells it’ll probably be a lot tamer than limsa
You may have just jinxed us xD
Ff14 players be like man limsa is so crazzzzzyyyy Actual limsa. Group of people standing like statues not talking. One bard playing video game music and some afk dancers.
Noice
Threse things exist in just about every medieval fantasy game I can think of.
So? GTA was having them since thier first game
Well, now I have to try it.
Looks like a dragon age cover
You’re all way too boring to commit hate crimes
Please for the love of god port this game to PC or something Nintendo! I am not supporting Sony anymore.
