This is what really upset me about the ending of Emily Is Away.

Emily throughout the game asks me why I did things I, the player, did not agree to do (I agree to go to a party with Emily and in the next chapter she's asking me why I hooked up with her??), and at the very end they really hammer home how much your relationship with Emily has deteriorated by letting you pick a dialog option asking about your future together, and then making you watch your character type it out, delete it, and ask her about the weather instead.

Taking away player agency is bad enough, but trying to make an emotional moment centered around it? Fuck off.

Speak for yourself

That's not a guarantee -- assuming intent rarely pays -- and it's certainly not an excuse for you to threaten everyone else in this comment section who acknowledges possible misogyny but points out that the general sentiment is valid with a taser too.

"A nonzero amount of women have a tendency to demand respect and support from their partner but not give any in return, and some women actually need to be taught that relationships are a two way street, so make sure your daughters know that because not all of them will" -- person who's been burned a lot

"Anyone who says that is probably a predator" -- OP for some god damn reason

But when you try to explain this newfound knowledge to somebody else, all that comes out of your mouth is telling them to buy a brain chip.

mr depot is there something you would like to tell us

the one time that asshat almost got banned from something and it was a mistake

Dear person who refuses to argue in good faith,

First of all, last I checked, Netanyahu was committing genocide, not the Democrats. Second of all, Trump has promised to funnel arms to Israel harder than Biden currently is, and he stands a very real chance of winning the 2024 election.

1. There are two choices in the United States 2024 election. No third party stands a ghost of a chance of winning. No, not even if the 30,000 people you can reach on Lemmy all vote for Timothy Greenparty.
2. A Trump victory in 2024 would not only be just as bad if not worse for the citizens of Gaza than Harris would, but also pose an existential threat to a large number of vulnerable Americans (trans people, immigrants, women seeking abortions).
3. Given the margins of victory in 2016 and 2020, Kamala might not win if leftists don't vote for her.
4. Snoozing fascism for four years is better than inviting it through the door now, and buys us time to build our defenses for when it comes back.

I'd like to focus my counterargument. Which of these statements do you disagree with?

EDIT: why am I not surprised that you left a downvote but not a reply?

Dear Leftists,

You claim to hate whataboutism, yet every time someone suggests voting for Harris so Trump doesn't win and thus do irreparable harm to Gaza, to large numbers of vulnerable Americans, to the climate, and to our ability to vote at all, you say "whatabout democrats". Curious!

For the sake of my own sanity I'm going to choose to believe that you're trolling.

like the S in IoT which stands for security.

okay, listen, this joke was funny but it's run its course

Right after the revolution leader and most of its top brass got sent through the guillotine, yeah

I'm sorry, do you need to be reminded how the French Revolution ended?

So if failing to resort to violence doesn't solve your problems, you failed to resort to enough of it? We should be willing to consider all solutions up to and including dropping nukes on our own country to kill the Republicans?

On second thought, let's not go to Reddit. 'Tis a silly place.
