    Some dude was screaming in the alley last night. Went away and came back a few times.

    My brain is mush. I swear to Odin, if he comes back tonight… I don’t know lol. I’ll prolly yell at him from my balcony while shaking a fist at the clouds.

    Edit: also all this racist discourse about the new Assassin’s Creed game is giving me life. These douches think a black samurai isn’t historically accurate… When he was a real dude… And also it’s Assassin’s Creed! Literally a game about a secret history, time travel, fist-fighting a pope, a precursor race who had enslaved humanity… Like, what? These idiots have never played an AC game, and it shows.

      I don’t understand it either. I feel like no one can be truly creative or craft any story these days because it comes under scrutiny for the tiniest thing.

        I dislike Ubisoft because of micro transactions (along with other publishers as well); to the point that I tend to play indie titles now where possible. But I don’t dislike AC for its lore or gameplay. Most big AAA games have an amazing story/world building - and I fully subscribe to the idea that games are an art form.

        They’re just racists. It’s not about anything else, and it’s gross af. I miss the days when 4chan Anons were confined to 4chan and everyone else made fun of them. Now they’re everywhere, tainting everything with their disingenuous rhetoric, hiding behind whatever thin facade they can conjure.

        The only time I struggled was when they had Black Hermione in the Cursed Child play. I would have had zero qualms with her being black at the outset, and I was logically on-board with JK Rowling when she said “the books never specify her race, it’s unimportant to her character”. I’m even someone who can separate the movie and book portrayal of a character most of the time.

        But Emma Watson has completely brought this character to life. I just couldn’t reconcile the new actress with the character in that example.

        Anything that they can’t fap to is “ThE wOkE aGeNdA”. They don’t about actual historical accuracy, they just use that as a cover for their cold takes and plain old racism.

        Thank you for that link, too! Giving it a read now :D

      Who is doing the screaming?

      And the responses are poorly thought out.

      It just bothers me. All this outrage and gate keeping is erasing diversity.

        They also had a white samurai, his name was Tom Cruise, and he was the last
