Because they're invisible now.

We sent reporters over there and now those reporters are threatened against speaking up.

I like it.

It's the "Use your kid's slang to make them realize it's garbage" reverse card.

He didn't really apologize at all. He brushed it off, moved on, and then everyone pretended like it didn't exist.

His PR machine worked hard to clean up his mess.

Imagine if JK Rowling's got quiet then two years later, came back and everyone gaslight you into saying they just went through a phase.

And yet, I'm the one getting heavily down voted.

Nah I'm saying you say racist shit, you don't get off the hook.

Op, you're better off asking this question in a different community like a Ask one.

Community rules state you can only post articles.

I hate that you were down voted but you are absolutely correct.

There's no agreed definition of indie.

Back when I worked marketing and would attend GDC conferences, there were awards for "Indies" that had 30 people teams financed by major companies, competing against 1-2 people teams who took a loan against their house.

It's stupid and frustrating.

And now, with Dave the Diver, it's just highlighting the truth - Its always been a vibe, a aesthetic. You just have to make it look indie, and call it that.

Whatever definition you hold personally doesn't matter.

Pretty much. The whole "Internet is forever" doesn't mean shit if you can be a dick and then throw money to PR fix your reputation.

Yeah. Guy does a few Nazi things and anti-Semitic things a few years ago and he has to live with that reputation forever? . And come on, why are you living in the past? Just because Kanye straight off said some Nazi shit every few months? Dude, separate the art from the artist!

Oh, and Kevin Spacey did a bit of rape back then. But it was so long ago!

And while we're here, Bill Cosby drugged those girls in the 70s. Like my dude, who wasn't a little edgy back then?

Nailed it.

Pretty much.

If it was just a feeling with Hilary, then it's absolutely true with Kamala.

The excuses like "Kamala is pro-cop!" Or "Hilary is evil", while it can be true, is also what sexists latch on to avoid being called sexists.

And for icing on the cake, a bunch of hispanic dudes voted for Trump and then are getting deported. Sexism runs so deep that it clouded their own survival.

We tried. I watched rank choice requests fail time and time again, because people vote against it thanks to smear campaigns.

My buddy is in a city with rank choice, and after the most recent election, there was a push to get rid of it again. You can tell by who.

We have a list of phases in our chat bot that will cause the bot to flag the message.

You can let a human know. Or you can set up automation to disconnect the customer.

I won't say what we do.

It's really weird and kinda reddit-like to see a human rights violation and twist the story to be about some online community.

That's fair. I was going to agree that it wasn't working.

But we as liberals have to stop looking for perfection. Our protests made Musk have a breakdown and drop out. That's a win.

That would only work with like-minded politicians. Old Democrats have spent more energy complaining about Mamdani in the past month than Trump's current presidential run.

I stopped watching John Oliver because it just gets my blood level up. He just goes out, highlights a critical failure of society, and then we all nod, nothing changes, and now I fucking hate loans or whatever the topic is.

But Ill watch this. Impossible for me to get even angrier at Facebook boomers.

I'm sorry. That was my fault.

Trump, Israel, and Iran sent me a text message asking for me to thumbs up or thumbs down the attack and I was asleep after playing Monster Hunter Wilds.

(Techbros rubbing their hands hoping to find that new thing to ruin)

Yep. Nobody cares. Having been to nude beaches, nobody really cares.

The small fraction of people who do judge are reflecting their own insecurities.
