Yeah, that is what happens when they surround themselves with sycophants and yes men. My point is that they have the power to do good despite all of the pressure. The buck stops with Trump.

Just thinking to myself about how much good Trump and Elon have the power to do and they just... don't.

Imagine how good things could be if they weren't both horrible people. Imagine how much good they have the power to do and refuse to do it.

Not surprising at all. He was concicted of a felony and then sentenced to *checks notes* ... nothing. He has avoided accountability for every single thing. Why shouldn't he believe he's untouchable? So far he has been.

Interesting because I recall the NES being one of the first consoles to have backup batteries in their cartridges allowing for multiple save files in games like LoZ. Mega Man games, Castlevania games, all had passwords. Bubble Bobble had passwords.

Are the two mutually exclusive? People bitch about difficulty settings and accessibility features making games "too easy." Those are the same people who used the Konami code, or Power Overwhelming in StarCraft, or Rosebud in the Sims.
Jason Benhoff (@jaybee333.bsky.social) reply parent
Yup. I remember back in the 80s there was this ridiculously hard game on the NES called Contra and we all lost our fucking minds when we found out there was a code that gave us 99 lives.
Jason Benhoff (@jaybee333.bsky.social) reply parent
If there is one thing I do love about modern gaming it's the increase in accessibility options. Colorblind modes, FOV settings, subtitles... difficulty settings. All of these things make games more accessible to more players.

Jason Benhoff (@jaybee333.bsky.social) reply parent
My point exactly.
Jason Benhoff (@jaybee333.bsky.social) reply parent
My point is that misogyny and misandry both exist and there are sexually explicit examples of both in literature. Railing against one and not the other shows a clear bias.
Jason Benhoff (@jaybee333.bsky.social) reply parent
You specified female characters.
Jason Benhoff (@jaybee333.bsky.social) reply parent
And only male authors writing female characters are guilty of this?
Jason Benhoff (@jaybee333.bsky.social) reply parent
Okay... so your issue is not about the genders specifically but the way it's written?
Jason Benhoff (@jaybee333.bsky.social) reply parent
No. I don't think it's any stranger than what you're doing.
Jason Benhoff (@jaybee333.bsky.social) reply parent
I get it. Like when Theon was tortured by naked women to get his dick hard and then chopped it off in ASOIAF, right? Like that?
Jason Benhoff (@jaybee333.bsky.social) reply parent
Not at all. I agree with you. I think there are a great deal of misogynistic writers out there that thrive on exactly the sort of objectification of women you're angry about.
Jason Benhoff (@jaybee333.bsky.social) reply parent
I usually just want to have a civil discussion. Then people like you show up.
Jason Benhoff (@jaybee333.bsky.social) reply parent
This also begs the question: If you're so sickened by these unidentified authors who write such perverse things... why do you read their work in the first place? You're absolutely right. They don't HAVE to write those things. By the same token, you don't HAVE to read them.
Jason Benhoff (@jaybee333.bsky.social) reply parent
So you were definitely just as horrified by the descriptions of mutilation done to men, right?
Jason Benhoff (@jaybee333.bsky.social) reply parent
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Sauron torture and murder Celebrimbor and than use his flayed corpse as a war banner?
Jason Benhoff (@jaybee333.bsky.social) reply parent

Jason Benhoff (@jaybee333.bsky.social) reply parent

I think the word "fan" gets thrown around way too much. Like it's some kind of badge to be earned. I don't believe fanatacism is something to aspire to.
