Migrating here (or maybe keeping both) from @ArcaneSlime@lemmy.ml

Will put an eternal curse on your enemies for a Cinemageddon invite.

  • Thank you!

  • I'll take one!

  • Wait you think the only women in the entire game are in this one strip club?

  • Right, then I responded to them, then you responded to me responding to them, and now we're here. You said it's missing part of the argument but it is the argument you jumped into, so "nuh uh" is what I'm saying.

  • and there's no scene where John Wick gets a lap dance. There are women who appear to be sex workers, and John Wick murders their bosses. The audience isn't invited to participate in the objectification,

    I do not agree that paying a woman for a lap dance is objectification if sex work is real work and should be respected. If sex work is bad and shouldn't be respected then sure, that'd be a bad thing to pay for, but it can't be both.

  • Mhmm that's 'cause of all that violent imagery no doubt.

  • No you pick your nose. It's true I saw you eat it afterwards.

  • there's no scene where John Wick gets a lap dance. There are women who appear to be sex workers, and John Wick murders their bosses. The audience isn't invited to participate in the objectification,

    Here you directly state that getting a lap dance, i.e paying a sex worker for the service she sells, is objectification and you go on to accuse those who engage in such activity of being misogynists. This implies that sex work is not real work, a phrase meant to normalize sex workers and cut down on their judgement, as you can't normalize something if all their customers are also bad people. It also implies you think sex work is something to look down on, likely from a place of "you're better than that" rather than "dern whores," but that's still not very sex positive of you.

    You can say dumb shit about your pixel strawman all you want, but putting sex workers as helpless dolls that need to be saved by the hero isn't as progressive as you think it is.

  • They did pay the voice actors real money, and the fictional women use fictional currency. They are being paid both fictionally and IRL. Sucks to suck my guy, get good.

    Btw I like that the root of your sarcasm is "No, stripping isn't real work, real ones shouldn't get paid because the fake ones only get fake currency." You're a weird dude.

  • Well you could kill them and steal it back afterwards I suppose but you do have to pay the fictional game ladies fictional game money, yes. They need it for their fictional kids and to buy fictional food in the fictional grocery store, duh. What, you think they take USD?

  • Try again Mrs. Gore.

  • Regardless of your opinion on teslas, cars, hacking your own devices, FOSS, whatever:

    Car hacking needs to become a bigger thing, fuck this bullshit trend the entire market is jumping on. We need to be able to take control of our devices back from these assholes.

  • No, but it will make you do a columbine if you play while you listen to satanic music like Metallica and KMFDM, right Tipper?

  • Hang on, so sex work is work and we shouldn't shame sex workers, but those who pay the sex workers for their services are gross misogynists? Gotta pick one.

  • "This is why I hate RomComs, it appeals to the female fantasy."

    (We can both say ridiculous things and be judgemental, or we can just let people like what they like. Not everything has to be "for you," nor "for everyone.")

  • I decided not to trade freedom for microtransactions years before I even switched to linux, personally. If a game can't run without literal spyware, I probably haven't played it.

  • Oh yeah thermite is fun! Definitely didn't make any as a kid off of a "lifehacker . com" (dead site, don't visit) video that claimed it could melt through an engine block or anything like that...

    We didn't have any spare engine blocks but it'll fuck up a dumpster pretty good...I uhhh...suspect.

  • W10 wouldn't get past the pin screen (type pin, then black screen forever, nothing else), so I used a live boot disk of fedora to rescue my files (turns out you can just bypass windows pins and mount the drive), then installed fedora on my old toshiba satellite and never looked back. Few years in I upgraded with linux in mind and now am cruising with a Framework 16. No regrets.
