  • That's cool-- I remember watching for a long time before my eyes adjusted to the darkness, and then it was impossible to miss. It was actually really awesome, though different from the photos.

    I'd say the last one actually looks pretty close to what it looked like to the naked eye.

  • Nothing wrong with short articles. It's better than sifting through paragraphs of "Electric cars are an innovative technology that take many of the featues of..." just to get to the relevant content.

    Better than spreading one contiguous body of content across five tweets too, IMO.

    I don't see the problem with being concise.

  • Can confirm other opinions:

    • Did not know anything about League
    • Enjoyed Arcane

    The game and the show aren't really related at all. AFAIK, if you've played the game, you just get to be like "Oh hey that's one of the characters you can choose" once in awhile... But there's no overlapping plot or anything.

  • Yes lol I've heard of Gamergate. But I still don't think "far right" when I hear "gamer." It wouldn't shock me to learn that they correlate to some degree, but whereas the other precursors sound per se characteristic of the far right to me, "gamer" seems like an odd fit.

    Like lots of people from a broad range of backgrounds would describe themselves as gamers, and that's generally uncontroversial. Not the same for any other precursor in that list.

    Hence, surprised.

  • Why are we downvoting this comment? It's a perfectly reasonable thing to wonder about the study, and I had the same thought.

    Not because I can't possibly imagine what could constitute "far right vocabulary..." But just cause I'm interested in the study methodology.

    Like yeah, any of us can often identify far-right language when we see it... But how did the researchers approach that systematically? Are there any surprises there, like phrases that I wouldn't recognize? Did they include patterns like "randomly capitalizing words for emphasis?" That would be interesting to know.

    Or maybe I misunderstood, and the people downvoting are just pro-paywall, idk.
