If they're charging less in different regions and people were using VPNs to purchase then you'd think that'd be a sign that maybe game prices are too high. They're selling an identical product at a much cheaper price because the people in some countries are poorer or their currency is garbage compared to USD? Pretty gross to think about.
It's not sympathy. It's pointing out their own internalized self hatred as an explanation beyond them being some mustache twirling villain. It's more pathetic imo for a homophobic politician to struggle with their sexuality vs learned values so hard that instead of coming to the conclusion that gay = ok they try to exterminate gays instead.
If they were just awful people for no reason other than religion that's just straight brain rot but if you are literally part of the group you're trying to extinguish I feel like that has to be the most embarrassing thing for that individual. Like just get therapy at that point.
I'd be surprised if anybody arguing in good faith would genuinely believe the above criticism is somehow a jab at gay people as a whole when it's very obvious it's just about the homophobe in general. The moral here is you can be gay and still want to stomp the rights of others in your same situation. I know friends whose black/immigrant parents voted for Trump. There's psychos everywhere my guy.
it's almost confusing this has to be said. the whole point is obviously the criticism that the people in charge of jailing/killing gay people are indulging themselves. I feel you'd need to be pretty dense to not get that, yet I see it mentioned a lot.
considering it's something the vast majority of people have strong reactions for it's kind of to be expected. for most people it's as basic as craving food. even if it wasn't in marketing it'd still be everywhere in art (songs, movies, etc)
I've had Linux problems before too when I was still trying to use it and I'd post the issues on like 4-5 different active forums and never get anything to solve it. So posting a meme acting like something is impossible seems like an amazing way to get instant help from the Linux knights.
"Guy" could also be triggering for some trans folks! May want to just use gender neutral pronouns regardless of who you're talking about because you never know who's reading and how it could affect their day _
Minorities in politics are always going to be experiencing a completely different live than the average person. They live in their nice big house in their gated community and probably face little to no racism irl. They just don't care.
that's not admins editing your comment that's just what it says when it's removed by admins vs mods
