why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic

[transhuman-priestess]

He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.

Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.

Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.

And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?

Capitalism is disgusting.

[fuckblast]

Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj

[transhuman-priestess]

What with GTA VI going up for pre-order i'd just like to remind everyone that rockstar conspired with the UK government to lock an 18-year-old away for life for hacking them.

i do think lobbying for data centres over climate goals should be considered a crime against humanity btw

The full picture is even more heart breaking after you open the uncropped version. Just a heads-up, it's rough

I notice alot of my followers on here skipping these posts just to mess with my lgbt ones, suspiciously the white popular ones.

Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

They were murdered in cold blood.

[churchoftheconfusedchicken]

I’d like to add this photo I took last night in Victoria of the statue of Captain Cook. Though I myself am not indigenous, I 100% agree that these murderers, kidnappers and rapists shouldn’t have huge statues and plaques that decorate them and say how “great” they were.

Here’s another photo of the legislative assembly from yesterday. Later on there were more items, candles and signs at the memorial, as well as a big poster with 1505 painted on it but I didn’t get a picture

People need to see this. Not just quickly glance at the photos and keep on scrolling. They need to see this.

Reblog this or just stop following me

[ifiknewiwouldtellyou]

I had seen the first picture of the church, but not the second.

I went to a “Cancel Canada Day” event and burst into tears - not because I was surprised to learn of the unmarked graves (survivors told us they were there. Our government pushed it aside, and we let them), but because seeing all the people gathered in mourning drove it home: They. Were. Children.

This is my country’s legacy - and it’s not history. The last schools closed during my lifetime. My Father went to school with students who lived at the local residential school, after it was changed to a boarding house (read: holding centre) for indigenous youth who went to local schools.

They were all children, injured, abused, and killed in my country’s attempt to erase them. I want the world to see this and hold the state accountable to *active* reconciliation> I mean we could at least truly adopt UNDRIP in action instead of words for god’s sake.

[gayvampyr]

here you can read an article about a survivor of the church and some of the things he experienced to help put into perspective how awful and just how recent it was

[nothingweirdhere]

this is the memorial at the vancouver art gallery. 215+ pairs of children’s shoes (as well as stuffed toys and flowers) cover the steps…

[dykeferatu]

it’s not weird or surprising but it is certainly something when vtm fans want to play with certain vampire tropes without touching any of the unpalatable elements of it. everyone wants to play a sexy seductive vampire but no one wants to play a rapist and if you draw attention to the fact that seducing people in order to drink their blood is assault you’re a fun-ruiner. ENGAGE WITH MY THEMES!!

[dykeferatu]

i’m not even saying i think you have to like play a handwringing sexual predator or anything. i think most vampires operate on a certain level of cognitive dissonance and might not even realize themselves exactly how objectionable their actions are (or actively avoid recognizing it). but like You as the player should be aware of it right. so you can engage with it in whatever manner you think is appropriate

[vss-vinesse]

You mean to tell me that I as a player and a character should consider my humanity?

Surely you jest, that stat is there only to determine if i like sex or not, don't you get ittttaggsvbsh

[diamondringsandgutterbones]

"get a job" "unemployed behaviour" okay but like. girl your ableism

[heating-element]

girl your abelism. girl your inexplicable capitalistic worldview. girl your view of labour productive for capital being directly tied to your worth as a person. but also really holy shit girl your abelism!

ppl can explore whatever they want but it does still make me a bit sad when ppl delibrately ignore the meat of clan politics and just make characters bereft of any connection or opinion of the greater clan, like it cuts so much of the tension and narrative arcs that determine the tone and flavour of these clans and it's always awkward especially when ur characters are intrinsically tied/and have strong opinions, goals and a shaping of their experiences and someone's like no i'm perfectly removed and unaffected and just have cool powers like aaaa

[vss-vinesse]

See it all the time, but the one that stings the most for me is Tremere. Their whole weakness is that you are just another untrustworthy Tremere, and you have no opinions about what you as a clan do to make everyone else dislike you?

These people rarely stick around though. It's not like d&d where mechanics and backstory alone makes your character unique.

[tzimizce]

Something that bugs me is wod people treating hunters as this evil other cartoon bad guy that's just out to destroy all supernatural!!11 just because!!! They're evil and they hate gay poeple and they hate gay vampires!!1 especially Like it feels like such a disrespect to the setting and especially since HTR is it's own splat!!! full of nuance and complicated people. Maligning hunters as this ontological evil and supernaturals as harmless meemees when that's not the case at all for power difference. The masquerade isn't to protect the poor harassed vampire, it's keep their exploitative society on the downlow. Werewolves don't have a litany law because they're hapless victims, like.

Hunter is an equal setting worth respect and understanding n should be more than a villain of the week.

[pretend-pretend-vampire]

hi person making a vtm character I'm the devil on your shoulder. they don't need much willpower it's ok. listen to me I tell the truth. they don't need that

[solarprominence]

I maintain that the best summation of my feminist beliefs are that men and women are not fundamentally different. There are a few quantifiable differences if you average out every woman and every man, but they are not qualitative. And most of them are socially constructed, and would be fixed if we started treating men and women the same. Neither is inherently smarter, neither is inherently kinder, neither is inherently more stoic or stronger or angrier or softer. Everyone is obsessed with the differences between women and men, with finding them and creating them and distancing themselves from the "other half". It's fucked up

[wodconfessions]

I don't like how Abrahamic-religion-centric the setting is, and there's a clear limit to how much you can ignore the meta plot. I just don't care about Caine being the daddy vampire.

[vss-vinesse]

What people who haven't dove into the lore of WoD don't understand is that the world is driven by consensus. The metaphysics of the universe follow the beliefs of humans. Every single religion is true and false at the same time.

Yes, Caine could be the first vampire, but who really knows?

It depends on the character doesn't it?

For example you could literally meet Jesus, and to an american christian he probably looks white with a beard and that, while to a different character he will look completely different- or he might not exist at all.

The rabbithole goes so much deeper than you think and each iteration (chronicle) is different.

[jester-nonconforming]

People still tend to lump JK Rowling in with the category of ~problematic artists~ and I need everyone to understand that is not the problem with her. She is not comparable to anyone who wrote a piece of fiction you hate, or someone who made rude comments in 2015 and has since learned better.

She is far more like Elon Musk. She is a radicalized person with an extreme amount of social and financial power, and for YEARS she has been using that power to try to influence her government into hurting vulnerable people, on purpose. And she has succeeded. THAT is the problem with her, and THAT is why spending money on her books is so dangerous, not because her books aged badly.

Critiquing her work is fine, of course (I personally was never a fan so I really don’t care) but you NEED to understand that fiction is not the main issue here. And I truly think acting like she’s the same as the rest of any giant list of ~problematic creators of the week~ waters down how dangerous she is.

[decadent-trans-girl]

[casceth]

i have to reblog this again because i go insane when people act like the problem with her is "its cringe for adults to like kids media" or like "the books sucked anyways" like those are completely irrelevant and try to shift the blame and focus from the active harm. even the fact the books also have bioessentialism and antisemitism is a whole different conversation

[elierlick]

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.

To disregard canon you must first interact with canon

[ryhsrunner]

It's oft talked about, but the fact the random chance of a statistically unlikely event occurring that such a memorial part of all TTRPGs and chance based games in general is a thing that happens within the lore of WoD is so gods damned cool. If you roll well enough you could take out an entire population of Kindred with only a handful of Hunters, and that's a thing that takes place in the lore. It doesn't matter if you're a primogen, some upset thin blood with a shotgun does well enough on a couple checks and your head is a pool of red mist against a wall.

One time a nosferatu player of mine with potence and obfuscate wanted to jump a drunk vagrant, proceeded to botch and get themselves beat into a frenzy by one guy with a wine-bottle.

Be careful out there peeps
