She has a very supportive and understanding boyfriend who believes in her and does not kinkshame.

So like the actual reasons are obvious and boring. But I am always kind of amused by people who get super angry about historically inaccurate diverse casting (for whatever value of 'historically inaccurate', not relevant here) in adaptations of classical myths but then mysteriously have zero issues with all the ostensibly bronze-age Mediterraneans being played by the most northern european people on earth.

#people who throw tantrums whenever they see black people in movies are a joke

Reminder that Elin lets you turn NPCs into your mom and breastfeed from them.

Watched an interesting video recently deconstructing what it means to have good taste in video games and looking at the status hierarchies that exist in game criticism.

In summary, there is a type of cultural capital that comes with displaying knowledge of games and their contexts, but this capital is not paid equally by all games.

Some games are considered more prestigious than others. There is a broad spectrum (not a binary, a spectrum) of games that has "cold culture" on one end and "hot culture" on the other.

Cold culture is associated more with what is expected from the upper classes. It refers to games that call for more solitary experiences, with analysis and commentary and a need for a certain background to be fully appreciated.

This is the category where you can put games like Disco Elysium, Outer Wilds, Planescape: Torment, Myst, Civilization, Expedition 33, and so on. The "intellectual" types of games that easily lend themselves to video essays that critics can use to flex.

On the other end there are the "hot culture" games of the masses. The kinds of games you usually play with others with more of a focus on immediate pleasure.

In this category you can find games like Mario Kart, FIFA, Madden, Counter-Strike, Just Dance, arcade games, and practically all mobile or idle games.

These are often the most popular games that sell the most copies but they're not considered very intellectual and don't give you as much gaming capital.

The same prestige gap can also be seen in other mediums and follows similar class associations where the works coded as being more "upper class" tend to be considered more artistically legitimate.

stop stop stop making appeals to some 'natural state of humanity.' war and slavery and xenophobia are in fact some of the most universal human behaviors ever recorded. humans do not have any kind of innate Noble Spirit that is being corrupted. You can just say "war is bad because it hurts people" you can just leave it at that! that should be an effective statement just by itself! shut the fuck up about Essences!

i think a lot of people internalized the misogynistic idea that “men are rational and women are emotional” and just went “that’s true… but it’s a good thing!” instead of saying “that’s obviously bullshit and we shouldn’t perpetuate this belief in any form”

They put him in the generic high school romance AU and he is too autistic for tsundere methods to work on him.

the whole "insulting someone based on their appearance is bad because it could indirectly hurt people you like who share that feature" is a good start for unlearning body shaming but i do think we need to go further and remind people that even if there was some physical trait that was magically 10000% exclusive to conservatives and creeps and nobody else ever had it, we still shouldnt be insulting them based on that. because the problem with them is not their appearance its their ideology and actions. by insulting their appearance you arent just indirectly insulting others who look like that, youre literally not making the correct point. stay on topic ya know.
