I don’t care if I waited my whole life to go the Louvre, Giza, Tikal, Grand Canyon, Machu Picchu, Great Wall Of China, etc. If there’s a picket line/working class blockade I’m not going in and I’m joining the protestors. Capitalism has created a world of spineless treatlerites.

La gente se cansó. No quiere ver al fascismo destruir Europa con la excusa de siempre de que los problemas vienen por la inmigración. La gente quiere mayor distribución del ingreso. Quiere que los ricos paguen lo que corresponde y quieren derechos básicos como educación o salud.

I think what made Disco Elysium so good and "old school" is that its developers drew from literature and their own tabletop stories while most other games were already unable to create something new because all their devs knew was other videogames, which they then remasticated

But in all seriousness, the reaction from Japanese One Piece fans to people using the Straw Hat Jolly Roger in protests has been genuinely pissing me off. So many of them are more concerned about people bringing One Piece into real-life politics, calling it dangerous rhetoric and worrying that the series could get banned in certain countries, than they are about WHY people are even using it in the first place. And I think this perfectly highlights the disconnect between Japanese fans and international fans. For some of them, One Piece is a manga they love and want to protect from controversy. For a lot of us, its themes of oppression, corruption, government tyranny and the fight for freedom hit a little closer to home. Some of us have lived through these things. Some of us have watched our families and loved ones suffer and die because of corrupt governments and injustice. They can afford to treat these themes as fiction because they don’t necessarily have to relate them to their own reality. But when people who have experienced these things firsthand see the Straw Hat flag as a symbol of resistance and freedom, why is they’re first reaction to police how other fans use it rather than understand why it resonates with them in the first place? And that’s what bothers me. Instead of trying to understand why people from completely different backgrounds see themselves in this story, they’re dismissing it as dangerous political rhetoric that might get one piece banned in these countries

Crpgs don’t count. Disco elysium is the only game I’ve ever played that I’m not ashamed to have spent time on tbh
