While I find certain aspects of accessing content such as games, shows and movies to be an annoyance when they are exclusively locked to different platforms, I do not agree with the complainers who seem to think that it is a violation of their rights that they have to pay for additional platforms in order to have access to everything.
Last I checked, video games, movies, and shows are not necessities. Complaints about this being some moral wrong shows that you have it pretty easy in life.
@CobaltSasquatch >insulting a public figure is subject to legal liability
I am mad about this whether or not this is a truthful statement. If it is true, it sounds like the laws are shit. If it is false, this asshole just wants to insist that it is true in a poor attempt to avoid getting called out.
Know your worth.

The author was a woman too, and obviously writing for other women. And she knew her audience well.
Meanwhile, men did not care for Twilight. Which is to be expected, since it was not made for us. But the reason I bring this up is to demonstrate that it is not "the patriarchy" or any males who are responsible for the creation or popularity of this series among females. They chose to read and watch it, and any males who also watched were either gay or watched with their girlfriends.
The constant pushing for the "girlboss" archetype in movies is a poor choice not only because it does not resonate with male fans, but also female fans. I remember when I was in high school the most popular book/movies among the girls was Twilight. The main character Bella was the most passive character you could have, the opposite of a girlboss.
But the female audience loved it. Sure, it is just one example, but it is the perfect counter example against the girlboss propaganda being pushed.
If anything would disprove George Orwell's idea of Newspeak being an effective tool to prevent ideas from being expressed, it is the people on youtube using every annoying term to get around demonetization.
I find it annoying when I hear the term "unaliving" instead of suicide. Everyone knows what they mean, it just makes you have to jump through more hoops while everyone knows the real word they mean.
Annoying as it is, I am fine with less parts of 1984 being able to happen.
@sardonicsmile I will never forget that these were the people who were claiming that they were just trying their best with the information they had at the time. At least that is the excuse the propagandists and useful idiots will give. No. They knew full well what they were doing. And they deserve far worse than they will ever receive for punishment.
@Terry I recall that the leftists that did protest Israel found out that being "on the right side of history" got themselves arrested and found that their usual state-backed support evaporated. This does not absolve them one bit, as it only goes to prove that they are merely attack dogs and they just happened to find out that they attacked the "wrong" group. Anyone who claims to be "the resistance" but refuses to fight the moment they get no state support is no resistance at all.
Looks like this will be my new home. Warning: I (probably) have Asperger's, so my be prepared for my autism to show through.
I don't think I am a right wing extremist, but I am sure anyone with low testosterone might think otherwise.
